Chapter 133 - Growing Intensity

A loud knock resounded on the door and both, Li Na and Little Tiger looked at the abrupt intrusion. Lu Jun-hui walked hurriedly into the room. His face had fear, immense shock along with rare relief on the display to recognize Li Na sitting on the dining table as if yesterday's dreadful night didn't strike in their life. Li Na didn't know whether to laugh or cry looking at Lu Jun-hui watching her like an unsubstantial ghost.

Li Na stared at him wordlessly and asked in an irate voice, "What?"

"You're alive!?" words came out as of shock and amazement to see her sitting in a single fleshed frame.

Li Na rolled her eyes over his astonishment whereas, Little Tiger frown as he bends a little to the sides so that he could not only listen to his uncle but can clearly examine his expressions as to what nonsense he is saying about his mother. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-mysterious-love._13271529106326605/growing-intensity_51984305596974183">#&apos;s-mysterious-love._13271529106326605/growing-intensity_51984305596974183</a> for visiting.

"Sadly, your pathetic wish to see me dead can't be fulfilled, and I had to come back!" Li Na replied.

Then with unusual excitement, smiling broadly, Lu Jun-hui said with heartwarming relief, "Everyone was so worried about you...since you went missing suddenly...then we heard that you had escaped with minor injuries...we were all so relieved. So how are you feeling now?"

Li Na stared at him and wondered if the world had gone upside down. When did Lu Jun-hui had a change of heart for her? And even if he did feel sympathy...why suddenly he is expressing so much consideration for her?

"I'm alright, Lu Jun-hui. You don't have to make it sound so heartfelt like you genuinely cared about me and nothing else." Li Na said with all honesty as if not for Little Tiger's sake, she can't trust he'll be able to tolerate her presence.

Lu Jun-hui lowered his head with regret. Knowing well that she is absolutely right about his conduct. He was less concerned for her life and more for her rash behaviors and their consequences. He knew she was in danger last night but he also believed it's because she is the troublemaker herself.

Lu Jun-hui came in to stand beside Li Na's chair and said uncomfortably, "I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused for you! I'm really glad that you're safe." 

"It doesn't matter. I wasn't expecting you to behave differently anyways," Li Na replied mildly. And Lu Jun-hui turned pale and for the first time, he realized how does it feel to be neglected and dismissed by someone you came to care for unknowingly. Li Na noticed his self-loathing face and felt bad. "I guess you haven't eaten anything that's your face is turning pale. Come sit with us. And have your breakfast." then Li Na laughed lightly and her heart completely soften up for the big kid as she vaguely saw a change of mood.

Lu Jun-hui immediately accepted the offer and began to start eating along with the little family of three. Gulping the last bite of his meal Lu Jun-hui waited for the constriction in his heart to ease before speaking again. "Are you hurt somewhere? I got to know you were at the hospital the whole night...how are you feeling now?" Lu Jun-hui asked worriedly.

Suddenly, there was a clank of the spoon hitting the ceramic plate. Everyone's attention is drawn to Little Tiger who had all the color drained from his face and instantly turned ashen.

Numb with shock and fear, Little Tiger stared at Li Na with a sickening daze, his eyes cautiously searched for any mark or signs of injuries on her frame. And when found none, he couldn't believe his eyes and then blinking a couple of times while forcing his mind to focus on her, he again examined and this time he became stunned by what he noticed. 

There is indeed a faint mark of uncovered injuries on her head just at the right corner of her forehead. How is it possible he didn't take notice of it earlier? Little Tiger mused over the thought with tormenting agony and anger. Maybe it was because the thin mark of faint red-colored cut got 

hidden due to her lush veil of beautiful hairs...his brewing rage came to halt before it sprang again with much frenzy... as then he noticed the hair bun she had tied around exactly in the same fashion when he first saw her earlier in the morning.

With life-taking bitterness, he realized it was nothing that hid her injuries from him but only his ignorance, anger, and disregard for her that blinded him to perceive it the way it is. Suddenly, the brutal reminiscences of his hatred for her and the havoc he created around him glimpsed before his eyes and exploded with fiery vigor making his body and soul turned chilled. 

Li Na felt her palms sweating while looking at Little Tiger's change of expressions. The frenzy emotions she saw were the blend of anger, fear, bitterness, and disappointment of self. It was something she had only heard about Little Tiger's hyper-sensitive emotional state now for the first time she had witnessed him go through it so closely. She had a vague idea she is the only one sole cause of his triggered state.

When Li Na turned around to seek Lu Jianjun's aid, she couldn't think of anyone else other than his father to look for asking to out help Little Tiger.

In Lu Jianjun's present disposition, Li Na felt as if the temperature dropped too drastically. 

"Lu Jianjun..." Li Na breathed out and before she could say or ask anything further from Lu Jianjun. Abruptly, Little Tiger jumped out of his chair and ran towards Lu Jianjun. 

In a trance-like state, Little Tiger struggled to climb the chair until Lu Jianjun helped the boy by picking him up in his arms. As Little Tiger felt warmly ensconced against the rough strength of his father's frame, Little Tiger hugged his neck tightly and his tiny fist clutched Lu Jianjun's shirt as if looking for strength and solace to fight against the frightening plight of fear and distress inside him.

Stifling a retort with some difficulty, Lu Jianjun concentrated on the child clung to him in desperation and frenzy. Even though Lu Jianjun held the kid gently, but the growing intensity of his anger was tracing the rough finger on Little Tiger's back.

Lu Jianjun couldn't help glare indifferently with rising antagonism reflecting vehemence in the dark eyes that were stabbing the two innocently impeccable humans present in the room.

At the detached civility for those two and because of the hostile hue of the ambiance, Lu Jianjun got up with Little Tiger holding him more closely and walked out of the dining hall.

Li Na watched Lu Jianjun leave with mingled wrath and helplessness. But before she could think or act, Lu Jun-hui stirred her out of this unpleasant riviera with a mild hit of the elbow. 

Lu Jun-hui encouraged in a soft voice only they could hear, "Go, go after him." Puzzled, Li Na frowned at the advice given by her new peer. He then whispered, "...after Little Tiger." she instantly gave a curt nod and stood up hastening towards the direction in which the father and son went. She closed the distance between them.
