Chapter 428 - RESOLUTION: PART IV

"Young Master Yun." 

"What is it?" 

Yun Shen was on his way to the location of Elizabeth's whereabouts. He had this cold look on his face which frightened his subordinate. It was the first time they saw such cold and frightening aura from their master. They never expect such expression would even exist to someone like him who is always so gentle. 

"We receive reports from the squad ahead that they've reached the location. However, they meet with some trouble. Quite a few mercenaries have already found the Young Princess location as well and they said a blood bath has occurred." 

Yun Shen's expression turned stiff from what he was hearing. He didn't know what to say for his heart was aching in fear that Li Zi was already in the hands of the mercenary. 

Dammit, this is all his fault. 

He cursed Feng Xiaotong for holding him back at the airport. If he didn't have a close relationship with one of the ministers as well he wouldn't be able to get out of the airport. In the end, bother Feng Xiaotong's aid and Yun Shen's gave in and let them settle everything with themselves. They did not wish to get involved with the quarrel of men when they don't even know what's going on. 

"Young Master?" 

"Step on it!" Yun Shen's eyes were showing so much anger as he looked at the driver furiously. It was even such a damn question to ask him. They are already in such a situation such idiots would only ask such questions. 

"Yes, Young Master." 

…..

At the same time, Elizabeth was racing her way to the airport. She was able to borrow the old doctor phone and was able to contact her friend. 

"Esme, how have you been?" Elizabeth was speaking in Esme native language which was spanish. She had this friendly tone despite being worried about contacting one of her friends. 

"My gosh, Lizzy. How have you been?" Esme who was on the other line was shocked to receive a call from her. She is unaware of what is currently going on but since they have not heard from each other for a long time it still surprised her. 

Haering Esme's tone of voice ease Elizabeth. It was reassuring to her to know she is unaware of her situation. It seems her family has not fully publicise what's happening to her.

"I call to ask you a favor." 

"Sure, sure, what is it?" 

"I'm sorry to suddenly impose on you but it's an emergency and I hope you can keep it to yourself and not let others know." 

Esme was silent for a moment hearing Elizabeth's serious explanation. It worried her that her friend might be in danger and she wished to know what was going on but didn't bother in the end. She knew her friend is from a powerful family and those on top are always in trouble. 

"Sure, what is it?" 

"Can you arrange a private plan for me? I'm on my way to the airport."

"What? Eh-airport? Wait, are you here now? I mean, in the country?"

"Yes, which is why I need you to keep it a secret." 

"I-yeah.." Esme was speechless and unable to contain herself. She not only received a great shock from suddenly receiving a call from an old friend and to now suddenly know she is in the country. What's even more shocking is that no one knew at all. Yes, she was secretive of who she is but she always informed close friends and relatives if she is to visit a country and for no one to know was indeed a great surprise. Which could only mean, she was in trouble. 

Did Lizzy have a conflict with her family?

Esme was aware of her friend's secret engagement which she was shocked to hear. She wonders if its true or are they trying to avoid something. It was natural for them to be engaged to someone at the same standard but for her friend it was out of the question. She was not the type of person who will bow down on old traditions. 

"No worries, I'll prepare everything for you." 

"Thank you." Elizabeth ended the call and dialed another number again. As she dialed the number she was surprised by what she was hearing. 

The number you dial is no longer in service…

Before the recording could end, she ended it herself. Elizabeth looked puzzled as she looked at the number she was calling. She double checked it and dialed it again. However, she received the same recording. 

'Strange, why can't I contact Sam'

Sam was her caretaker so she feared that her father might have done something to her. She trusted Sam and if she was to contact someone for help it would be Sam. 

Seeing she was unable to contact Sam, she tried calling another number as well. 

Sorry, the number you called is…

The number you have dial…

The number you are calling cannot be reached…

No matter who she was calling, it seems she was unable to reach anyone at all which worried her. 

'What is going on?'

Seeing she was unable to succeed in reaching anyone, she called a person whom she was sure to reach. 

Sorry, the number you…

Elizabeth ended the call and stopped the car in the middle of the road. Hearing the recording brought such bewilderment to her. She didn't know how to properly respond to her current situation. 

She looked again at the number she just dialed and couldn't believe her eyes. For the number she just dialled was her own father's direct number. 

"Wa-why?" 

Elizabeth was in a state of shock and panic as she started calling all her family directly and person number. However, no matter who they may be she was unable to reach them and received the same recording. 

"What is going on?" 

AH!

She shriek in pain as she felt an electrifying pain suddenly in her head. She pulled herself together as she stepped out of the car for some fresh air. The car was revolting so she thought the smell was causing her to suddenly feel sick. 

"Darling, once you wake up, I swear, I'll never leave you alone." 

Mom?

Elizabeth was confused to suddenly hear her mother's voice. The voice felt so real and so close but she could not see her mother at all. 

"Darling, please wake up. I don't know what I'll do without you. You don't know how much it pains me to see you like this." 

Wake up? What is she talking about?

Elizabeth was confused with all the words she was hearing from her mother. She was fully awake and conscious…

"Child, why are you here again?"

Grandpa?

Elizabeth looked confused when hearing her grandfather's voice. The fact she was unable to reach him when she tried calling his number confused her as to why she was hearing his voice as well. 

"Chid, you need to take care of yourself. It is useless for you to stay here and…"

"Father, am I a bad mother?" 

"Child, nonsense, what nonsense are you spouting again. I told you so many times that she is just resting and will soon wake up. What nonsense are you talking about saying you're a bad mother? If you are a bad mother then I have failed as your father." 

"Forgive me, I-" 

"Child, I'm sorry for raising my voice. You know how much you all mean to me and seeing you like this pains me as well. I can't bear to lose you too…" 

The voices she was hearing continued to bother her. The more she heard the more she became confused and her heart pained. 

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"Father, she moved?"

The sound of her mother's excited voice echoed…

"Stay here, I'll go get the doctor. Finally, I told you not to worry. My precious princess will never give up." 

"Lizzy, my darling, can you hear my voice. If you can please wake up already. You don't know how long I've been waiting for to hear your sweet voice." 

'Mother, what are you talking about? I've only been away for months.'

"Ah, darling you really can hear me…"

Her mother's sobbing voice slowly faded away as the pain she felt soon vanished as well. 

As she no longer hears her mother's voice, she realizes that the pain she felt normally occurred whenever she hears her family voices. 

"Why do I keep hearing their voices? What is going on?" 

Elizabeth decided to take a quick break before she continue her way. She gathers her thoughts together as she contemplates everything that has been happening. She started reminiscing on her past life and how everything became so complicated since she meet Yun Shen. As if her life with him was curse and that nothing seems to be going smoothly.
