Chapter 118 The Untouchable Other Side(1/2)
What happened that day?
Maggie walked in the lush and lush flower corridor, looking up at the blue sky.
In her memory, that day, she and Laqi were lured to a restaurant by Yaves through Lushan's invitation. After a quarrel, they were knocked unconscious by Yaves's men.
But when she woke up, she found herself lying on a soft and comfortable bed.
This is her bed, this is the environment she is familiar with, this is the room she lives in the manor outside the capital of Laqi's house.
Why was she here? How long did she be in a coma? And what happened during the period when she was in a coma... Countless questions confused her thoughts.
So, the first thing she did when she woke up was to find Laqi.
She needs to know the answer.
"Are you awake?" At that time, when she was taken to a bedroom by the maid, Raqi was sitting by the windowsill looking at the starry sky at night in a daze. After she looked at her, her voice was as cold as before.
She was so sensitive that she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Did she do something wrong? Was it because Yaves confessed to her that day that day that made her unhappy? It was not until Raki asked again that she interrupted her random thoughts.
"So late? Is there anything?"
"Laqi, how long have I... been in a coma?" she asked carefully.
"It didn't take long, it was only half a day." Laqi said.
"What happened during my coma? Why am I here? What about Yaves? Aren't we knocked out by his men? Why did he suddenly let us go..." Maggie could no longer bear the confusion in her heart and asked in a hurry.
Laqi was silent for a long time, and seemed not to know how to answer her questions.
Gentle, anxiously waiting Maggie heard Laqi's sigh, very weak, very weak, but she heard it.
"Everything is over...Maggie, I'm sleepy, you go back first." Laqi stood up from the chair beside the windowsill and slowly walked to the big bed not far away and lay down.
"this--"
Maggie was stunned. Perhaps she hadn't expected that Laqi's response was so unexpected.
In her words, she felt alienation.
My heart was chilled, my nose felt sore, I turned around silently, and after saying good night, Maggie returned to her room in a daze.
Lying on the bed, she was not sleepy at all, and her eyes were staring at the exquisite patterns carved from the ceiling. In the darkness, her heart suddenly tightened, and ache, and tears unconsciously overflowed from the corners of her eyes...
What's wrong? What's wrong?
Why did Laqi change her attitude towards her so much?
In my mind, I recalled every little thing between her and Laqi. Every time, she would protect her, comfort her, and encourage her like a sister...
She buried her head in the white pillow and told herself in her heart that she should not think about it, and do not give up. Everyone has unhappy times. Perhaps it was Yaves's affairs during the day that made Laqi change these changes. She must believe that Laqi and believe that she will return to the gentle and brave sister she remembers.
...
The next morning, when she was looking for Laqi, the maid told her that Laqi had been called back to the Wangdu family by the elders of the family because of some things.
But when she asked the reason, the maid knew nothing.
On the third day, she finally saw Laqi coming back. At first glance, she noticed the fatigue between Laqi's expression. When she stepped forward to care and greet, Laqi said that she was very tired and needed a rest. If there was anything, let's talk about it tomorrow.
She could see that Raki was not lying, and the rich feeling of fatigue that radiated on her would not deceive people, and she had no reason to disturb her rest.
On the fourth day, Laqi finally stopped escaping her.
That day, she told her a lot, from her understanding, understanding, familiarity, interesting things in life, jokes... But Laqi listened quietly until the end, she said: Maggie, maybe you should go back to visit your grandpa.
Maggie looked stunned and her whole body became stiff.
She heard it. In Raki's words, she was asking her to leave, leave her, leave here...
At night, she squatted in the dark corner of the room and sobbed softly, tears falling down one by one, pain and depression.
What happened that day? She didn't believe that it was just because of Yaves's words that made Raki cold and alienated to her, but she couldn't find the answer anyway.
After leaving the corridor, Maggie left the manor alone and looked at the city walls that were faintly visible to the kings in the distance. She walked slowly, and as she walked, she wanted to find someone.
Golden Meilan Hotel.
The door was suddenly knocked. After Xia Lan opened the door, she saw Maggie standing in front of him panting. With a wail, Maggie threw herself into his arms.
Xia Lan opened her arms, as if she was a little confused.
In order not to cause any disturbance, Xia Lan closed the door and let the girl hold her hands tightly against his chest and cry loudly. He lowered his head and reached out to caress the girl's hair that was wet and messed up by sweat until the crying gradually subsided and the sobs stopped...
After handing a clean handkerchief to Maggie, Xia Lan sat on the sofa, picked up the hot tea brewed on the table, and looked at Chuchu's pitiful girl opposite him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Is something going on?" he asked, asking naturally.
Wiping the cheeks wet with tears and clearing the tears at the corners of his eyes, Maggie looked at him with red eyes, and slowly sobbing and slowly telling the things that happened these days.
"Brother Xialan, is it really because of Yaves' words that Laqi hates me?" She wrinkled the handkerchief in her hand, and asked Xialan the most profound and entangled question.
"He's dead." Xia Lan put down the teacup and looked at Maggie lightly.
"Who? Who is dead?" Maggie, who was confused in her mind, was stunned for a moment when she heard his words.
"Yaves is dead."
"Why did he die?"
"Killed by Raki."
Maggie looked at Xia Lan blankly with a dull look, as if she was incredible.
"Why?" she trembled.
"That day, after you and Raqi were knocked out by Yaves, he kidnapped you to a warehouse in the Gray Deer District. In order to stop Yaves from violence against you, Raqi let himself replace you... Unfortunately, his desire was still not satisfied. When he was about to attack you, I, who received the news, stopped him from doing things in advance..." Xia Lan said lightly, holding a teapot in her hand, quietly leaning towards the empty tea cup.
The room was quiet, and only the sound of amber tea gradually overflowing the tea cup.
Maggie opened her mouth lightly and her fingers trembled. She looked at Xia Lan, trying to say and do whatever she wanted, but in the end, she said nothing and did nothing.
It turned out that the truth that bothered her that day was like this.
She doesn't want to accept it, she doesn't want to accept it!
"Brother Xialan, you didn't lie to me, aren't you?" Maggie said sobbingly, and her eyes were begging to look at Xialan.
She hoped that nothing was true, she hoped that, she hoped, he said the answer she wanted.
However, Xia Lan's answer ruthlessly shattered the hope of escape in her heart.
“This is the truth.”
"Yes...yes...or why did Raki become like this... all this is my fault..." Maggie slumped on the sofa, her eyes muttering unconsciously.
"You are not wrong." Xia Lan glanced at Maggie and said lightly: "This is what he and her will face in the end, and you are just an innocent person involved."
"But... if it weren't for me, Raqi and Yaves wouldn't have had a conflict. If it weren't for me, he and she might still be together happily now..." Maggie, who was in a state of guilt, said in a daze.
Xia Lan frowned, unable to accept the truth of the facts, and she began to collapse, and her mind became extreme. The simpler she was, the more likely she was to be extreme.
"Ba"
He raised his hand and slapped the girl in the face without any hesitation.
"You're not wrong."
He repeated it again.
Maggie covered her gradually red and swollen cheeks, looked up at Xia Lan, who was expressionless, and tears once again slid down her eyes.
Xia Lan leaned on the sofa and drank the tea in the cup as if nothing had happened. The only solution he could think of was to wake her up.
"Brother Xialan, there won't be anything wrong if Raki kills Yaves, right?" Maggie lowered her head, her voice empty and mute.
"There is no evidence, just suspicion, just like me." Xia Lan said simply.
Seeing Maggie evoking a glimmer of care, Xia Lan continued, "Don't worry, someone has helped me solve this problem."
Some people know the conflict between him and Aves. After Aves' death was discovered, it was not difficult to investigate him. However, on that day, Raqi told him that she would not let him get involved in this trouble.
He didn't know how Laqi would solve it, and he didn't believe she could solve it, so he asked the eldest prince for help through Nowen.
Soon, the trouble of coming to the door disappeared.
"Brother Xialan, grandpa sent me a letter." Maggie raised her head, her dark eyes filled with complexity, confusion, longing, and nostalgia.
"What did he say?" he asked.
"He hopes I can go back and visit him for a while." Maggie whispered, biting her lip.
"Then go back. The king's capital may not be safe during this period, and I don't have the extra energy to protect you like the last time... Going back to your grandfather would be a good choice." Xia Lan said calmly.
"Brother Xialan, I like you!"
Suddenly, Maggie stood up and yelled at Xia Lan.
The teacup in Xia Lan's hand shook, and met the girl's stubborn and firm gaze with crystal tears. Soon, his expression returned to normal.
But he didn't dare to look straight into the girl's eyes anymore.
"I know."
"I don't want to leave you! The only thing I can rely on now is you! Brother Xialan! Don't leave me... Don't leave me..."
To be continued...
