Trial Of Love Chapter 254 - The Method Failed

Imperia Garden Plaza.

It was not even dusk yet when the girl finally woke up. She slowly opened her eyes as she rubs them with her hands. She felt her whole body aching and numb as she slowly got up. 

"Awake?"

The girl widened her eyes and saw the man seated on a chair by her bedside. She smiled seeing the familiar person. 

"Daddy, good morning."

The man got up from his seat and seated by the girl's side, he then pulled her into his embrace. 

"Daddy, what's wrong?"

Elizabeth was confused as to why her father suddenly embraced her with such upset expression on his face. 

The man just continued to embrace his daughter tightly and not answer her. 

Moments later a woman step inside the room with teary eyes, seeing her daughter has finally woken up. 

"Mom."

"I had a feeling you'll be awake, I made you some porridge." Lady Zhao smiled seeing her beloved daughter was finally awake. As she kept her emotions in check to avoid the girl from noticing something wasn't right. 

"Rest well." 

Lord Knightley softly spoke as he kissed the girl on her forehead and got off the bed. He then walked towards his wife as he kissed her as well and then left the room. 

The two ladies were left on their own, they both sighed heavily as they both know what's about to happen.

"I mess up, didn't I? It was an accident..." 

"You didn't, darling, your father loves you... Your right what happened was an accident." 

"Mom, I swear I wasn't trying to do anything reckless or anything. I didn't expect the cliff edge was unstable."

Lady Zhao seated beside the girl as she handed her the porridge. "Now, now, don't worry about that. It was an accident, nothing to worry about. Anyway, come eat... You've been asleep for a whole day."

"Mommy, where is dad going?" Elizabeth wonders as she starting eating the porridge her mother bought for her. 

Lady Zhao force as a smile on her face as she explained everything to her daughter. "Your father has business to handle, he should be back soon no worries. He stayed up all night with you and missed quite a few meetings." 

"Oh..." Elizabeth didn't bother to inquire more for she already felt guilty and worried that her father is angry with her. 

Lord Knightley along with Professor Petrovich headed out of the house, he paused when he noticed someone behind him. 

"Are you going?" General Zhao asked. 

"I am."

"Just don't kill them, I did promise the police chief I'll have them by morning." General Zhao requested despite he too wished to kill those men who tried to harm his beloved princess. But as a man who follows the law, he must restrain himself and act rationally. 

"Hmm." 

As the 2 guards in a black suit along with Winston got in the cars, within seconds they vanished in front of General Zhao.  

General Zhao pinched the skin between his brow and sighed, "I better go visit Lili"

Back inside the girl's room. Everyone gathers around after finding out she was finally awake. Everyone acted as if what happened yesterday was history and a mystery like it never took place... They played their role well as to what memory the girl currently has. 

Each one forced a smile and laughter on their faces which was like torture to them. They were all fooling the poor girl...

"Brother, how far did I fall yesterday?" Elizabeth inquired curiously to what happened.

"Not that deep... If it was that high, you won't only be getting minor cuts and bruises. You might be in the hospital right now." Zhao Xinyi forces a smile as he jokes around with his sister but was feeling guilty inside. 

"Sis Yifie, what wrong? Did I really worry you..." 

Liu Yifie who was as white as a sheet as if she was seeing a ghost in front of her didn't know what to do. It was the first time she needs to play such a role. Everyone explained to her, but she was having a hard time digesting everything. She observed everyone and realized this isn't the first time such an event happened. 

How long have they been altering Lizzy's memory?

Did Lizzy really do something horrible?

She wipes the tears on her face as she did what everyone expected her to do. She forced a smile and acted pleased to see her but the worries in her eyes couldn't be forced for she was indeed worried for her.

"Yes, I was so worried. Lizzy, you must not do something like that again. You don't know how worried I was. To think... I can't bear the consequence of losing you. You're my sister do you know how worried I was. Why must you act recklessly? For once, can't you be more concerned about yourself." 

Everyone knows her words weren't an act but the truth. She was there when the girl did something reckless. For her to express it in such a way without Elizabeth realizing anything made them wonder whether they should praise her or feel sorry for her. 

"Sis Yifie, I'm sorry, I promise I won't do something so reckless again. Anyway, I'm sure dad won't allow us to go anymore." Elizabeth laughed while everyone else stayed silent and watched her. 

Everyone was relieved that Professor Petrovich once again has successfully altered the girl's memory. But for how long will they need to continue such dreadful method. Especially, her mood lately has not been stable since the arrival of Shen in her life making it impossible for them to calculate what's to happen. 

As Elizabeth continued to converse with every a faint flash of memory suddenly into her mind. She frowned as she wonders why she was thinking of such memory and murmured. "What happened to Little Yan?"

Everyone's expression turned deadly pale when they heard her mentioned Little Yan. Was Professor Petrovich unsuccessful to change her memory this time? 

"What do you mean, darling?" Lady Zhao anxiously approached her daughter worried that her memories might be trigger all of a sudden. 

"I don't know, I keep having this strange feeling that Little Yan is in danger?" Elizabeth rubbed her chest easing herself down. As she felt suffocated for no reason. 

"Darling, maybe you're just tired." Elder Lady Knightley said. 

"Lili, why don't you go back to sleep." Zhao Xinyi suggested, worried that the method failed this time seeing how his sister looking all in pain at the moment. 

Everyone left the room leaving the girl to herself. But her mind was not at peace as she continues to think about Little Yan. She ponders as to why she felt so anxious for no reason. 

'Maybe I just miss her.' She thought as she pulled the blanket over and decided to shut her eyes again for the night.
