Chapter 472 - TRUE TO HIS WORDS: PART VI

It's been a few days since Elizabeth returned to the city. She has continued her search for any signs of Yun Shen, but in the end returned home with nothing. She has already expected things to be challenging and that the road ahead won't be easy, but she had this strange feeling that she is in the right place in searching for the man. 

"Young Miss, it's almost noon. You need to eat." Chou mentioned whilst he was in the driving seat. 

"I didn't notice the time, let's go home for now. I'll have lunch with Sis Yifie." 

They headed straight to the estate and the girl continued to ponder on things further. She has visited all the places she thought she had met the man, but somehow none of those places brought back any of her memories. 

Lately, she has been having strange dreams and somehow the man in her dreams somehow looked like Cris. She thought maybe because she found the man attractive and looked like Yun Shen she's getting strange dreams with him. 

What's worse, was the fact, sometimes, her dreams felt more like a memory than a dream. 

Imperial Garden Plaza, Zhao's Residence. 

The girl quickly got out of the car and looked for Liu Yifie. As usual, the girl was in the baby's room. She quietly walked inside and noticed a strange voice. 

"He's such a big boy now. I haven't seen him for months and looked how handsome he is." 

Elizabeth quietly walked in without anyone from noticing her. Inside, she noticed a woman that looked like Liu Yifie. 'Ah, she must be her mother. She did mention that she visits from time to time.'

Liu Yifie noticed another person's presence had entered the room, as she checked who it was, she leaped in glee. "Lili, your home." 

"Sis Yi, Auntie, hello." 

"Mother, this is Elizabeth Knightley, Zinyi's sister."

"Ah, Miss Knightley it's been awhile." 

Elizabeth felt ashamed as she greeted the woman. For it seems this was not the first time they've encountered each other but she has no recollection of it. "Auntie, just call me Lili or Lizzy."

"Forgive me, Lili then, since Yifie calls you that." The woman didn't say anything but felt sorry for the girl. Liu Yifie has mentioned to her that the girl does not look good and has lost her memory. She has promised not to mention it to anyone even to his husband. "I apologize for coming unannounced." 

"Don't worry Auntie, this is Sis Yifie's home too and you are her mother. You have every right to visit her." 

"Such a good child. Come, I brought some food. Why don't you join us?" 

"Thank you…"

After lunch, Elizabeth headed to her room and was busy with her investigation. Since Liu Yifie explained things to her mother, she was able to get assistance from them as well. It pleases Elizabeth to get another helping hand since she has not been lucky with anything at all. 

"Jackie, are you busy? Did I wake you up?" Elizabeth was on the phone with Jackie, she knew it was late, but was in a hurry to find out something. 

"It's fine, what's wrong?" Jackie yawned, still half asleep and was being helped by her partner to get out of bed and move somewhere else. 

"Have you checked what I asked you last time?"

"Uhmm, I have, I even asked big brother's help but we still haven't found the guy at all. Sorry." 

"It's fine, thanks for your help Jackie."

"No worries babes, by the way, you're coming here next week right?" 

"Ah, I almost forgot." 

Jackie, who was still half asleep was wide awake after hearing what the girl just said. "Babes, it's almost my wedding. I've waited for years, you can't." 

"I'm just kidding, I'll be there for your fitting." 

"Thanks, love you babes." 

"Good night." 

Elizabeth ended the call with a bitter thought about Jackie's wedding. She felt terrible about herself for being a cause of her best friend's wedding to be pushed back for years. Despite all of that, they are still good friends as if her action was not a good enough reason to break off their friendship. They soon fell down the girl's face as she felt so lucky to have a friend like Jackie. 

She dialed her phone again as she needed to inform someone about her plans. 

"Daddy, did I wake you up." 

"Hmm, it's fine. What is it?" 

"I'll be going to the state next week." 

"Hmm, Jackie's wedding." 

"Yeah, she'll be fitting her gown and she wishes for me to be there."

"That's fine, as long as you keep your promise." 

"Alright, I love you daddy, sleep well." 

"Love you too." 

Elizabeth still can sense the worries and doubt in his father's words. She knows, it will take years for her father to trust her again. But, she too can't trust the man. Since the fact he was the one who found her, how come he does not have any knowledge of the person who helped her. She has investigated it herself as well, but her investigation ended the same as her father a dead end. 

So, she was left with one conclusion. The people involved with her safe return and disappearance must be from the other side. Since it took years for her father to find her. Which brought such an eerie feeling that Yun Shen real identity must be involved with the other side. Could it be the reason as to why she left with him? The fact her family will surely not accept someone like him? Yes, they have a connection with them, but they keep it neutral and would not try to be in union with them. 

But somehow, Elizabeth felt like her disappearance had something to do with her father yet she still can't recall. It has something to do with Yun Shen as well, but the biggest reason was her father. She has been anxious to ask her father if every they ever had a last conversation before she vanished. If she had, it was proof her father has something to do with her leaving. They must quarrel with something which leads to everything.
