Chapter 454 - BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGIN: PART III

Everyone watched as the two were finally reunited again. Most of the servants were in tears as well seeing the sweet reunion. They all too have been waiting for their young miss and for her to be finally home was a blessing from the heavens. 

"Brother, I'm so sorry, I promise I'll never do it again." 

"How could you just run away without telling me? Do you know how worried I was? Do you know how worried Yifie was for you?"

It suddenly struck her when Zhao Xinyi mentioned a familiar name.

"Yifie?" 

"Yes, Yifie..." Zhao Xinyi pushed himself away to face the girl who looked as if she was lost and confused. It made him wonder what his sister has been through for her to be so confused by the name of the person so familiar to her. "Lili, is everything alright?" 

"Brother, did you and Sis Yifie-"

"Yes, we've been married for a long time." 

"Ah-" Her tears stopped as she realized another part of her memory was real. She was happy to know that was part not a dream. She embraced her brother tightly as she shouted. "Brother I'm so happy for you. So that was not a dream, you did confess to her. She is now my sister." 

"Lili, calm down, what's gotten into you." Zhao Xinyi was confused and could understand what his sister was talking about. 

"Oh, brother, you don't know how happy I am. Where is she now? I want to see Sis Yifie." 

"Lili, calm down first. And you need to be quiet if you wish to see here."

"How come?" 

Zhao Xinyi and Elizabeth went upstairs to his and Yifie's room. When they went inside, Elizabeth heard the sound of a woman's voice softly singing a lullaby. As they quietly went to where the voice calmed from, they saw Liu Yifie holding onto a baby as she puts it to sleep. 

Elizabeth stood there like a rock as tears soon fell down her face. It was not Liu Yifie she was seeing in front of her but a different person. She was seeing a woman who was putting a baby to sleep as well and it felt like she was right in front of her. 

"Isn't she beautiful Lizzy?" The woman in her imagination spoke. "She's such a good girl, look how she sleeps just by hearing me sing." 

As she continued to reminisce on the memory, the image soon vanished and stood in front of her was now the real Liu Yifie and her baby. 

"Sis Yifie, it's good to see you." 

Liu Yifie was surprised from hearing the unfamiliar yet familiar voice. She turned around to see how it was and without her realizing her tears soon rolled down her face. "Lili, welcome home." 

Zhao Xinyi took over in taking care of the baby giving Elizabeth and Liu Yifie time to talk to each other. She inquired about how her brother proposed, their visit to the family and all the memories she recalled when spending time with Liu Yifie. It made Elizabeth relieved that all of the memories she had with her were all true and not a dream.

"Lili, be honest, where have you been all this time?" 

"To be honest, Sis Yifie I don't know. Everyone has been asking me the same question but truthfully I really don't remember at all."

"Lili, I know you asked me to keep this a secret but did you really go with that man?" 

Elizabeth's eyes shocked in surprise. So, this was the reason why she felt so unease being home. She did tell someone about her plans. Seeing she was staying in China and having a good relationship with Liu Yifie, she must have told her all about her problems and worries. 

"I had a feeling you did, seeing you always told me about him. But, why did you need to run away?" 

Instead of answering Liu Yifie, she grabbed her by the arms and said; "Sis Yifie, I-I told him about you? What did I tell you? Tell me, does brother know about him?" 

"Well- I have mentioned it to your brother during the time you were away but the elder does not know. We both kept it a secret thinking you fear what they'll say." 

"Then?" 

"Lili, you didn't tell me much about him, all you told me is that you like him. I don't even know what he looked like nor what his name is. Since you didn't want us to find out about him. All I know is during your time here, you would spend your time with him sometimes." 

'I was right, those dreams with Yun Shen were true then. They were just muddling up. I did spend time with him and seeing that Sis Yifie knows about him means he's real. But-' Elizabeth was in deep thought as she pondered on Yun Shen's existence. 

"Is something wrong Lili?" 

"Nothing, thanks to you I've confirmed he's real. But now, I wonder if he is still alive?"

"Why would you say that?"

"You see, before the day I woke up and what I last recall. I died and the person who saved me was him. So, I fear that everything about him was real but I will no longer be able to find him." 

Liu Yifie felt bad from asking such a question and comforted the girl. "My dear Lili, don't be upset. I'm sure he's fine. Who knows, maybe he is looking for you as well. Believe that fate will bring you together. Think of this as the beginning and not the end."

"So, I'm back to where it all began then." Elizabeth had this bitter smile on her face when saying those words. It felt such a pain that things ended up like this. Made her wonder what she did for her to start her new life in such a dramatic way. 

"That's right, now your back I'm sure you'll be able to solve the mystery."

Elizbaeht wraps her arms around Liu Yifie for comfort. 'I hope so.' she thought to herself as she felt more doubtful that she'll be able to find him.
