Chapter 442 - WAS ALL A DREAM: PART II

Sam and the nurse did not bother Elizabeth and ran out of the room. The nurse went to look for the doctor whilst Sam went to get Elizabeth's parents. 

The girl was left all alone in her room still in tears from what she recalled. She looked around and realized she was in her room.

"I-I didn't die…"

Her tears were bigger and bigger as she realized she was alive. How much it pained her to know she was alive and to recall Yun Shen was dead. As she checked on herself and felt that she was able to feel pain when she pinch herself that when she knew everything was real and not a dream. 

But that did not answer the lingering question in her mind. 

Elizabeth pulled the drip and all the connecting wire on her. She then took off her clothes as she run to her dresser to check herself on the mirror. 

"No, this is a dream?" 

The girl went on a rampage and tried to check every corner of her room. She checked if everything she recalled before she died were all in place. Her beautiful well arranged room was soon turned upside down as if a storm had passed by. She made sure not to miss any corner and made sure she thoroughly checked everything. 

"No, it can't be… That, I- this has to be a dream." 

Elizabeth was all n.a.k.e.d as she went back to the seating area of her room. She looked puzzled by everything… What bothered her was the fact everything was in place and what's worse, everything she recalled that should be in her position existed meaning the bracelet her father gave her for her birthday. 

However, one thing was not right. Something was missing… She clearly recalls that Yun Shen gave her a necklace however how come she couldn't find it at all. 

"This has to be a dream. This is all a dream… I soon wake up and be by Yun Shen and Little…" 

As she was about to mention a child's name. Her head started to hurt as she couldn't recall who the child was. She thought hard of the name but it seems her mind just couldn't remember the name. 

"Little…"

"Ah, Yun Shen's child, who was it again…" 

"Little… Little…"

Soon tears started falling down her face. She felt as if she lost something so important to her. A name with so much meaning to her…

"Little Athy."

In the end, she recalled a name but she was unsure of whether it was the right name or not. But for now, it eases the pain she was feeling to have to speak the name of the child. 

As she continued to stand statued in the middle of the room, she turned to look outside her window staring curiously as to what might have happened to everyone back then. 

Did Jo survive?

Has the Feng found out about Xiaotong's death?

Is Yun Shen alive as well?

So many questions yet she does not know the answer and does not know whom to ask for the answer. 

It did not take long for someone to finally return to the room. As the door was pushed open, running inside the room was the girl's family including the medical staff whom the nurse brought back with her. 

General Zhao: "Lili."

Lady Zhao and Lady Knightley: "Darling."

Everyone stood frozen by the door as they watched the n.a.k.e.d girl in front of them. It was only her upper body that was nake and she was wearing her undergarments. However, one person moved as he grabbed the blanket on the sofa and placed it on the girl's shoulder. 

He turned the girl around to face her but was soon surprised to see her expression all in despair and tear. 

"Lizzy, what's wrong? Are you in pain?" 

No one apart from the man spoke as they tried to avoid bringing harm to the girl. She just woke up and seeing everyone and hearing their voice might bring some shock to her. 

"Daddy, is this really you?"

"Lizzy, it's me." 

"Daddy, am I still dreaming?"

"No you're not, you are standing right in front of me."

"Then tell me, why am I alive?"

Everyone was surprised and didn't know what to say. Why would the Young Princess suddenly say something so observant? It is as if she would rather wish she were dead. 

"Lizzy, what are you saying?"

"I should have died, I should have died with him." 

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

Elizabeth suddenly realized everything, standing in front of her was the man who could answer all her questions. 

"Father, what happened to Yun Shen? How about Xiatong? Has the Feng found out about his death? Have you heard news from them? Father, how about Little Athy have you found her? You need to find her…"

Yun Shen 

Xiaotong 

Athy

All those names were not familiar to Lord Knightley at all. He looked troubled and didn't know what to say. 

"Don't worry, I'll have someone check on them." 

"You must daddy, you must. I have brought death to them and Little Athy should be back on the island you must find her." 

"Yes, yes, calm down now." Lord Knightley wiped the tears rolling down his child's face. However, he was confused as to the names she had mentioned. He has not heard of such names before and wonder if they were the people her daughter has been with during the time she was gone. 

"Daddy tell me, what happened? How did you find me?" Elizabeth looked curiously at her father. She wonders if her father has found her back in the mansion or did he by chance rescue her from the hands of the mercenary group after her. She was also curious if her father by chance had taken care of the person who was after her. 

Lord Knightley looked at his daughter for a moment. He contemplated his words before answering her. He was worried that his words might bring some shock to her and might trigger some pain. 

"Lizzy, tell me, before I answer your question, where have you been all this time?"

"What you mean, I've been staying with Grandpa back in China. I only left for a couple of months because I was trying to search for…" Elizabeth was suddenly left silent. Why does her memory suddenly seem off. She was sure she was in China and was in search of someone. But it seems that was a long time ago, and it seems she has been staying somewhere else. As if her time back in China was years ago and part of her memory seems lost. "I was in Spain, no France, wait…" 

Lord Knightley looked bothered by his daughter's answer. It seems something happened to her this past year and he couldn't tell her that now. 

"AH!!!"

Suddenly, Elizabeth lost all control of her body as she collapse onto her father. She was screaming as she felt such jolting pain in her head.

"No, don't take her away." 

"Lizzy, what is going on?"

"No, please, don't take her away." 

"Rob, what is going on?" Lady Zhao asked as she ran to her husband's side. 

"What are you all standing there for? Do something, my granddaughter is in pain!" Elder General Zhao roared like an anger lion as he glared at the statute medical staff who were shocked by all that's happening. 

One of the doctors stepped in and got a sering ready. He looked at Lord Knightley signing him to hold her down. 

Lord Knightley knew what the serign was for but felt bad about it. Hsi daughter just woke up and he did not wish to put her to sleep again. But seeing how much pain his daughter was experiencing and his wife was all panicking and in tears. He held on tight on his daughter as the doctor injected the sireng on Elizabeth. 

It didn't take long for Elizabeth to be put to silence and back to sleep. 

Lady Zhao dropped to her knees as she continued to cry as she watched her daughter in her husband's eyes. "What has our family done for our daughter to be like this?" 

No one said anything for they all have been wondering what fault they have done for them to be suddenly punished. What's worse, the punishment was all being handed over to their precious girl whom they have pampered and protected since birth. 

"Rob, what is going on? Why does she not recall anything at all?" Lady Zhao asked her husband and soon others inquired as well. 

"Boy tell us? Do you know anything as to why she is like that? There is no point in hiding anything from us. If you know something please tell us. It pains me to see my granddaughter like that." Elder Lady Knightley went over and begged her son for some answer. 

But the look on Lord Knightley's face showed that he does not know anything as well. He may have such a cold and dull expression but this time everyone could clearly see that the almighty European King was clueless of his daughter's situation.
