Chapter 217 - It Hurts

Elizabeth was so happy to finally be home. As he stepped out of the car, he quickly went inside to greet her mother and grandfather who were waiting for her.

"Congratulations."

Along with the servants, both Lady Zhao and Elder Chief Zhao cheered for her.

"Mom, Grandpa, everyone thank you." Elizabeth was shy in receiving such praise from everyone. Her mood was not in the state to be happy at the moment.

"Dear, you top as the most promising model of the year." Lady Zhao said.

"I hope I'll be able to live up to it."

"I'm sure you are, you are your mother's daughter." The old man went closer to his granddaughter and embraced her.

"Oh...Grandpa, you think too highly of me." She force her laughter and added, "Anyway, I'll head upstairs and rest for now."

As she headed to her room and opened her computer, she went to check the latest news online. Whilst she was scanning a picture of her and Jayden was posted online.

[Mystery suitor of Li Zi visiting her after French Fashion Show.]

"I wonder who the guys is? But isn't Li Zi seeing Huang Ming now…"

"I DON'T CARE who the guy is. Our Li Zi has her General Ming already does not need a knight from another country."

"You LOSERS don't even know who he is. His Jayden Sanford, the heir to Sanford Corp. Of course, he's not worthy for you lowly actress."

Fans and anti-fans of Jayden Sanford battle online as they expressed their opinion. It was one of the tops talked topic online as well as Yun Shen holding hands with a mystery girl in the airport.

As Elizabeth continue to read all the comments online. Her body was shivering so badly that she didn't know what to do. All of a sudden she got changed into a black jeans, a polo shirt, and a black jacket. Since her car was still in repair, she went to her uncle's office and grab one of the keys for the car.

It surprises the servants when they suddenly saw her walking into the garage and driving off with one of the cars.

She started driving at such speed as if she was on a race track. She was so out of focus for her mind was elsewhere.

Elizabeth ended up only slowed down when the car started beeping noticing that it's running out of fuel. She stopped by one of the gas stations, however, she realized she didn't bring her wallet nor phone. So she checks around the car for some cash since they always keep money in case of an emergency.

After she could fill the car, she went inside the gas shop to buy some food. She noticed it was getting late already since the sun is about to set.

That evening, she returned to the city and started walking around the streets. Since she put on a hat and glasses people hardly recognized her.

She did not realize that it was getting late and she lost track of where she was.

"Darn it, where am I?"

"What do we have here?"

"You Bro, check this out."

Elizabeth turned around and noticed a group of guys more of tugs coming towards her. She ignored them and started walking away but it was already too late since they have surrounded her.

"Beautiful lady, are you lost?"

"Are you alone? Want to spend the night with me?"

"Get lost!"

The guys were frustrated in how they were being treated by her. Some couldn't control themselves and attacked her without any warning. However, it surprised the men when they saw those who attacked her went down, one at the time.

"Miss we're sorry."

"Miss please let us go."

Elizabeth looked at them in disgust and dissatisfaction. She tossed the last person aside and took a deep breath and sighed, "You're a waste of time."

She continued to roam around the city as it started raining. She did not look for shelter and counting roaming around. She decided to head home when she overheard people around her mentioning the time.

When she arrived home, it surprised her to see her mother, uncle and grandfather waiting outside. She felt so upset seeing how worried her family looked. When she stepped out of the car, she prepared herself for her mother's demon rage.

"Mo--"

"Darling, did you have a good time?" Lady Zhao smiled. Showing no anger or disappointment in her face.

"Lili, it late have you eaten?" General Zhao asked.

"Darling your all wet, let's get you dry up." Elder Chief Zhao added.

Elizabeth saw how her family was acting and her heart started aching, she clenched her chest as she her tears started rolling down her face. She was so selfish and never thought of them... They've given her everything but still, she did this.

"It hurts."

Seeing Elizabeth finally opened up her worries and problems, they did not hold back and comforted her.

"Mom it hurts so much."

"Now baby, it's fine… We're all here for you." Lady Zhao comforted her.

"Lili, stop crying now. Would you like to go on a trip?" General Zhao said.

"My princess, stop crying now. Let's get you dry up first." Elder Chief Zhao added.

Before Elizabeth could further say another word, she collapses on the ground which caused everyone to panic. As their eyes pop wide open, face turned pale like ghosts, and some were unable to move and froze from seeing the girl suddenly collapse.

"Call the doctor." Lady Zhao yelled.

"Lili..." General Zhao quickly carried her in his arms.

"Weiwei, what happened?" Elder Chief Zhao panicked.

Everyone started panicking as they brought the unconscious girl inside the house. Mr. Yan was busy calling the doctors over while the maidservants quickly went to get some fresh clothes for her and towel.
