He didn't reply anything and started to laugh out loud. His unusual behaviour took her bit surprised, his life was currently on her hand but instead of fearing he was laughing, was he taking her that lightly.
"Looks like you are enjoying it huh?" She snarled bending more closer to him. He stopped laughing seeing her face so closer to him, Chen Juan didn't realize in order to get revenge she was walking a devil.
She didn't even notice how intimate they were.
"Why stop laughing?" She raised a brow unknown of how intimate they are, their faces were just few inches apart from each other.
He scoffed seeing how much she looked dangerous, she was still innocence like before.
His hands slowly started to stroke her cheeks softly, scoffing on her innocence.
Chen Juan was starting to get irritated by his smile, she wanted to scratch that smirk from his face, she hated him no matter who he was.
"Looks like you really don't remember like they say." He said gently stroking her cheeks.
Chen Juan was more puzzled with his statement, the way he behave with her, Chen Juan knew that he was close with Wan Xieran but who was he, was he like other wolf in sheep skin or he was just a big bad wolf.
"Stop talking in circles, tell me who you are?" She pulled the dagger closer to his neck,it was already touching his skin few she go further it will pierce through his skin.
"Why don't you remember yourself," he stated raising his hand up again.
"Who am I to you…" he whispered before looking up at her eyes.
The look she gave to him was so complex. They are unnreadable, why those give him a vibe of being known to her from way longer than he think.
Why such pain in heart of forgetting something; something he really care than anything. Was it strange?
Yes, it was. From him he was destined to hate her, he can only have hatred towards her nothing else then why this pain.
No, what was he thinking. He can't stay here anymore, he suddenly shock as if he was sleeping and look around hurriedly, he tried snatch his dagger from her hand but Chen Juan hold onto it.
She was more confused by how he started to act suddenly. What happened to him in just few moment, she still didn't get to know about him.
Who was he? How was he related to Wan Xieran and most importantly was he someone who knows about her. No, he can't let go of him like that, she tightened her grip around the dagger but it didn't stop him from trying to snatch it.
In that struggle, unknowingly the dagger pierce through Chen Juan's arm, making her let go of the dagger and he got the chance to leave, he went out of her window, before leaving he glance towards her, she was bleeding alot.
Suddenly he felt stuffed, an invisible string was pulling him back. He want to go back but he knows he can't. Why is he feeling bad when he was made to hurt her, give her the worse pain, make her life hell, he want to see her begging for kill her, her life should be worse than death, that what he need.
He turn back and left without saying anything. Chen Juan was bleeding heavily, she knows her body can't clot blood easily as her blood don't have enough platelets. She can only take care of it as fast as she can, before it get worse. She knows finding modern medical treatment was not possible here, she can only rely on her knowledge to save herself.
She got up from her place and tear a piece of clothes and wrapped it around her arm before walking out of her manor to get something that may help.
As soon she walked out one of her who was coming towards her room saw her in injured state and dash towards her worrying about what happened without her presence.
"Young miss, are you alright?" Her maid asked in worried tone.
"Nothing, just help me to get yarrow herb as fast you can. It has white flower and thin needle shaped leaves, I saw them blooming near the lake. " She said sitting down.
"Yes," The maid nodded and ran towards the lake as fast as she could.
Within few minutes the maid came back with a hand full with yarrow herb and saw it to Chen Juan and ask did she bought the right plant.
Chen Juan nodded in reply, she asked her to wash them and bring them as fast as she could.
The maid nodded and within minutes she came back with the washed herb and give it to Chen Juan. Chen Juan opened the cloth she used to wrap around her wound.
She opened and was astonished that her bleeding was less than before, she can't believe that someday her bleeding disorder can get cured someday.
She look at her wound astonish of what happened then she remembered the thing she forgot again.
It was not her body anymore. She was not the real Chen Juan. Her eyes turn sad, how much she tries to forget something eventually make her remember she was not her anymore. And no matter what she tries that thing will never change. It was undesirable truth which change her everything.
