Chapter 405 - That's All I Need To Know

When Jo return from arrange all the necessary things, he was surprised when he found the girl fast asleep on the couch. "Must be tired then."

He went closer to the girl and woke her up, "Girlie, get up, we need to go."

Elizabeth woke up as if she just has a long nap. But sadly, the truth is she has only been asleep for no more than five minutes. Her whole body felt stiff from her awkward sleeping position but the truth it was mainly due to the fact she was consciously asleep while standing up.

"Is everything ready?" She yawned still feeling a bit sleepy.

"Yeah, everything is ready?" Jo suspiciously looked at the girl surprised to see her so exhausted from a simple task, "Are you sure your fine?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, we better get moving or else those mercenaries will be on our back soon." She explained as she pulled herself together to a stand point but was taken aback when she felt her limbs numb but did not react to it and dragged her body to move.

"Okay."

After a few minutes, Elizabeth and Jo were able to get out of the hotel without any problem. The hotel staff and some other guest who notice them arrived were dumbfounded to see them leave all of a sudden.

Before they left, Elizabeth did her part and went over to the front desk and explained why they needed to leave. It was a good thing since Jo did not say anything to them and just asked to cancel their booking.

Whilst they were heading to the train station, Elizabeth gazed at the beautiful building outside.

"You've never been here before?" Jo asked noticing how mesmerized the girl look.

"In my memory that I know of, I know I haven't been here but my body and memory felt as if I've been here for a couple of times." She responded with such sorrow and bitterness in her expression.

"Well, I know you been here… Since, this was the place you and Big Sis meet each other."

"We did?"

"Yeah," Jo nodded with a bright smile on his face and added, "If I'm not wrong, it was around that side of the city you guys meet. You were roaming around and accidentally landed on our turf. Big Sis back then was just like me, but already had the arrogant and leader like attitude."

"Ha-ha, she did," Elizabeth chuckles slightly as she too recalled how Megan was back then.

"Anyways, I don't know if you stayed long here but this was it, the place where you first meet Big Sis which is why I brought you here as per her request." Jo expression darken in grief since the girl recovered her memory about Megan even without seeing the place.

"She hoped I'll remember her if I see this place."

"Yeah," Jo answered with a heavy sigh.

"Don't worry, I'm sure she's fine. If she survived and accepted defeat she'll be spared."

"The way you talk as if you speak for you father. I mean, those girls are…"

"Trust me, my father would never harm those who have help me."

"If you say so."

Despite Jo doubts to what Elizabeth said, he was hoping and praying so hard that the girl's father did indeed spare Megan. Which is the truth of the event…

Back in Bhelheim Palace, Megan was receiving top class medical treatment in the family private hospital within the palace.

"Miss, please, you need to rest, your wounds haven't healed up yet…"

"Please, Master Shou strictly order us to make sure you a better before you can leave."

The doctor and nurses tried their best to restrain Megan who was trying to make her way out again.

"I told you I'll be fine, so can you let me go now." Megan started removing the IV cords connected to her.

"But Miss, the Master order us to make sure you are well before you take your leave." The doctor explains.

"I told you…" As Megan raised her head to face the doctor her gaze landed on the person entering the room. "Lady Zhao?"

Lady Zhao along with the servant brought a tray of food for Megan, "I thought you might be hungry, so I prepare some food for you."

Megan wanted to say that she wanted to leave, but then she notices this strange look on Lady Zhao's expression with caused her to feel guilty. "Thank you."

Everyone except Lady Zhao and an attending nurse who place back the IV on Megan stayed behind. Lady Zhao seated on the chair a few feet away from Megan's bed and watched as the child just looked at her as well.

"Don't be shy, come, eat." Lady Zhao said.

"Lady Zhao, why are you here?" Megan directly and boldly asked which surprised the nurse as she hastily did her job and left feeling the tenses in the air.

"Hmm, am I not welcome here?" She answered by returning another question.

"You know what I mean Lady Zhao?" She rebuked and did not lower her pride.

"Well," Lady Zhao looked at Megan soften as her eyes turned water, "How was she?"

Megan had this awe looked on her face.

'So this is the reason why she visited me, she wanted to inquired on how her daughter was doing. But, don't they have people following her?'

Megan startled contemplating on the matter, as she realizes something awful had happened, she directly returns another question to Lady Zhao causing neither one of them to answer on another.

"Something bad happened didn't it?"

"Hmm, your friend, where is she taking my daughter?" Lady Zhao inquired.

"Lady Zhao, can you answer my question or else the two of us will end up in an endless cycle of question each other!?" Megan lost her temper and raised her voice for a moment then looked solemnly embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice."

"It's fine," Lady Zhao smiled with the same calm yet deep lonely expression on her face.

"So tell me, is Liz and Jo in trouble?"

"Well, when you mean trouble like they are unable to defeat those after them then no. But when you mean by trouble, like more men are after them and we lost track of them meaning we won't be able to help them then the answer to your question is yes."

Megan was shock hearing such horrible explanation. She looked at Lady Zhao in amazement that she can keep a calm face despite what she just said, "You mean you lost track of them? How is that even possible when you have so many men following her ever move?"

"Well, my husband decided to lessen the men following her since he was relying on the tracking system that follows our every location. However, seeing my daughter is so clever, she just shut it down a few moments ago which is why I'm here asking you; Where is your friend taking my daughter?" Lady Zhao expression slightly change and became slightly serious.

"I don't know where they'll be heading, all I know is that they'll be heading West to look for Scott. Scott is Liz elder brother when she was in the society and I'm sure he'll be able to take her to the professor."

Lady Zhao stood up and had this confident smile on her face, "That's all I needed to know."

She got up and left the room confusing Megan if whether what she did was right or wrong?
