Elizabeth has finally woken up after a couple of days in a coma. She felt so drowsy and her head felt so heavy. Her body felt so stiff and was having a hard time to even move her fingers.
"What happened?" She muttered.
She tried to recall the last thing she did but couldn"t. Her mind could only remember the time she spent with Yun Shen that night but the rest were blurry and vage.
"Miss Li Zi?"
Elizabeth turned her attention to where the voice came from. Stood a few feet away from her was the nurse in charge to take care of her. The young nurse looked anxious as she approached Elizabeth to examine.
"Who are you?" She asked, curious as to why a nurse was standing by.
"Miss Li Zi, don"t be afraid, I"ll go get the doctor and Master Yun."
The nurse left as soon as she confirmed Elizabeth was at a stable enough to take care of herself.
"I wonder what happened?"
The nurse came back with Yun Shen and a couple of doctors. They all looked in a daze when they saw Elizabeth so calm.
"Li Zi?" Yun Shen could only utter her name and couldn"t let another word out when he recalled what happened a few days ago.
"Shen, what happened?" Elizabeth inquired dumbfounded to see everyone"s reaction at her.
"Li Zi, what do you remember?" Yun Shen directly asked.
"I only remember what happened last night, why?"
"Li Zi, you been in a coma for almost three days. And you…"
Elizabeth looked around and noticed the room was quite in a mess. Parts of the wall and floors showed stains of blood.
On the second day, when the girl was still in a coma, her other side unconsciously trigger without her knowledge and she almost killed everyone in the room. What"s worse, Yun Shen couldn"t calm the girl for she unaware of everything and seems to be possessed by another person.
Yun Shen hastily went to the girl"s side when he noticed her expression blanken. Her eyes dilated as if her soul was leaving her body. She became all shaken as she realized what she had done.
"Li Zi, calm done... "
"Tell me, what did I do? Shen, whom did I hurt? Are they alright?"
"Li Zi, please, calm down…"
"AHHH!"
Everyone in the room panic when the girl sudden screamed. In a blink the girl turned pale and her lips was all blue. She was so agitated and her tears were rolling down her face.
"Li Zi, calm down… Don"t worry, they are fine, you didn"t hurt anyone."
"Shen, I want to see my father. Shen, where is my family?"
Yun Shen heart was torn into two when the girl mentioned her family. It only mean she found comfort seeing her family more than being with him. Just proof that he was not fit for the girl.
"Don"t worry, I"ll prepare a plane for us to return to China tomorrow. For now, please, Li Zi, get some rest."
"No, Shen, Shen, please… I want to see my father." Elizabeth collapse on her Yun Shen"s embrace as she continues to pour her heart out.
Yun Shen saw that the girl couldn"t be calm and looked at the doctor. One of the doctor went closer to them and injected something on the girl"s arm which alert her.
"What did you do?" Elizabeth glared at the doctor with such hostility.
"Miss Li Zi, please calm down."
"Why you…"
Elizabeth tried to attack the doctor but soon her body gave in and she feel back to sleep. Yun Shen carried the girl back to bed and cover her up.
"Master Yun, we"ll be going."
Yun Shen only nodded and said nothing. His attention was fixed on the girl whom was breaking his heart into pieces.
"Li Zi, why?"
A few days later, Elizabeth has finally recovered and was preparing to finally leave the island with Yun Shen. They were to returned as planned but they must avoid anyone from noticing them. However, since the girl has a dual ident.i.ty, she needed not worry if people she her for she no longer looked like Li Zi but the Young Princess.
"Little Yan, what"s wrong?" Elizabeth inquired noticing the gloom on the little girl"s face.
"Auntie, will you leave me again? Auntie-" Little Yan cried without finishing what she has to say.
Elizabeth felt guilty and upset that she brought so much pain to the little girl. If she was her old self who has no recollection of her past, she would have pitied the little girl already and comforted her by forgetting her plan to recall her memory. But she was no longer the same Li Zi. She was the Young Princess who also has another hidden ident.i.ty in the past that she needs to recover.
"Little Yan, Auntie is sorry. But Auntie needs to fix something first. If everything works out, Auntie will come back and take you back."
Little Yan couldn"t bare the false hope Elizabeth was declaring. She may be a child but she knows if an a.d.u.l.t is saying nice words just to cover the truth. She went ahead and search for her nanny to comfort her.
"Little Yan, wait!"
Before she could chase after Little Yan someone behind her grab hold of her hand.
"Leave her be."
"Shen, I…"
"It"s fine, I won"t let you go anyway. I promise, I"ll put a ring on your finger once this is all over."
Elizabeth was taken aback by the words that left Yun Shen"s mouth. For she have heard the same words from someone before but couldn"t recall who said it.
"I must find Professor Petrovich. I"m sure he knows who the person is in my memory. Why do I have such attachment towards the man and why did the person in my dream ask me to remove all my memory."
Yun Shen wonder why Elizabeth looked so deep in thought. He thought: "If I want to keep her by my side, I must find a way for Professor Petrovich to erase her memory again and lock her memory in the past. Li Zi, I"m sorry but I can"t lose you…"
Both of them have the same plan, they both were in search of the same person but have different agenda with the man.
Who will find Petrovich first?
It was a few hours to the nearest island and they"ve finally landed. Elizabeth looked and wonder where they were. Since she didn"t see anyone around her, she was unable to find any clue of their current whereabouts.
"I wonder if dad has sent men already to find me? Or, are they here already?"
Elizabeth continue to examine the area, not far she notice a few men in black looking at her. She already has a hunch who they were. "So, daddy plans to give Shen a chance, I wonder why?"
Yun Shen also have noticed the men in black watching them and was worried that they might take the girl from him. Seeing they weren"t making a move ease him. He has something important to show the girl today which he hopes could change the girl"s mind in leaving him. For he finally made a decision to reveal who he truly is to the girl.
