Chapter 8

"Li, how can you let them get closer?" Victoria asked her son. She was already fuming mad.

"What could Ze Li say to answer that, he was too busy with work to notice that Lee had began treating Lynn differently, besides,they barely talked these past few days as he had observed, let alone eat together." It was surprising because Lee was not close to him yet she was close to her stepmother.

Victoria wanted Lee to be just like her. It would ruin her plans if her granddaughter started protecting their enemy. They must all have the same interests. San Lee needed to be taught to behave like her.

"Don't worry mother, Lee is just kind," Ze Li assured. This had to be the only suitable reason.

"I hope that's the case, make sure to pay more attention to the both of them, if possible, make sure they stay away from each other," Victoria said.

Ze Li assured his mother to do whatever she had said before she left.

Lynn took her medicines and sat on her bed. Her head started paining even more. Today,she could barely do anything in the house because of weakness.

"Madam, should we go to the hospital, I guess this medicine isn't working?" Mai asked as she was concerned.

"I can't keep changing the medicines Mai," Lynn reminded.

The two women became sad.

Mai had learned to genuinely care for Lynn and didn't like seeing her go through pain.

While Lynn remembered being told by the doctors that such symptoms meant her brain was not fully healed yet. The longer it took, the more chances she will never regain her memory.

But the question was, how come such expensive, in fact the best medicines and doctors in the world couldn't cure her? Her condition couldn't be that serious.

Mai looked at Lynn as she thought of something. "Someone could be preventing her from getting better".

She really pitied Lynn, in fact it was pity that made her regret wronging and trying to scheme against Lynn.

The treatment from Victoria today was nothing new, the old lady didn't like her daughter in law. From what Mai knew, Victoria even visited Prince (Mai's son with Ze Li) at the house Ze Li gave Rie and his son.

It meant that Victoria was aware that her son had another child. Not only her maybe even other members of the Zang family.

Mai wondered why they were doing this. She wasn't around before Lynn lost her memory so she doesn't know much about Lynn's life then. Although Lynn seemed to be good from the beginning.

Ze Li had always sat back and done nothing whenever Lynn was treated unfairly by his mother like what happened today. He even didn't care about Lynn's well being. Whether or not she was sick,he didn't care. Even the way he talked and behaved with her showed how much he didn't value her.

First he had a child outside the marriage and as much as she didn't want to admit,she was the mother.

Secondly, Lynn always did the work at home related to Ze Li like cooking his food, being responsible for whatever he wore, being responsible for whatever his family ate when they were around and basically following his every order.

This seemed okay as they were married but she had to do it even when she was sick. Ze Li wasn't a stranger to Lynn's health condition so he knew she didn't need stress and had to rest alot.

This could even be the reason she wasn't getting better as years went by.

Thirdly was only an assumption, Lee had no friends except the ones Ze Li introduced to her at the parties they went to. Mai can count herself as Lynn's only personally selected friend,as in Lynn choose to be Mai's friend on her own accord.

With Lynn's good natured behavior, she must have had many friends as per Mai's assumption. But, she had not seen any of them for as long as she knew Lynn. In fact, she got to know from Lynn that Ze Li told her she had no friends.

Actually, another problem was Ze Li telling Lynn. He told her many of the things she had forgotten from the past. "What if he was lying?"

Lynn seemed to trust him so much to the point of absurdity. She knew he treated her badly but she never complained and stayed by his side.

Mai's imagination was so wild she started thinking that Ze Li was doing something to Lynn. Like he was poisoning her into believing she couldn't leave him and had to follow all his orders.

"Ahh!,"Lynn screamed in pain.

Mai was forced to stop thinking and rush to help Lynn.

Meanwhile, Lee was happy because she was going to succeed in finding a job.

" Daisy, are you sure about the job offer you told me about," Lee asked.

"Yes, don't worry, all you have to do is bring your documents to the company and I will be there," Daisy said.

Lee was hesitant because she was taking favours from her friend.

"Thank you so much, I'm on my way,"she said.

"My pleasure to help," Daisy replied.

Lee looked outside the taxi window to reduce the tension she was feeling. Her palms were already getting sweaty from anxiety.

Daisy was an acquaintance of hers she got to know from her previous job. She owed Lee a favor and Lee asked Daisy to help her get a job.

A few minutes later,she arrived and got out of the taxi.

The company building was very big and tall. This company was a subsidiary of another bigger company.

Daisy's family owned all of this and even more in the country. Lee feared that she wasn't meant to get the job besides she hadn't even joined the University yet.

She braced herself for whatever would happen and went inside just as Daisy told her.

"Lee," a voice called.

Daisy was a beautiful lady with natural blond hair and blue eyes, she had a baby face and was short. At 23, she looked more like 18. To make it worse, her behavior was very childish and bubbly.

Lee recognized her and sighed in relief,she wondered if Daisy was waiting for her all along.

Daisy took Lee's documents and gave them to her assistant to deliver them to the HR department and she dragged the girl along for lunch.

Lee who had been scared and thought she will have to answer some questions and go through a long process for the job was speechless.

Daisy realized she surprised Lee so much that the girl willingly went with her.
