Chapter 99

Krista's pov

I was in a daze by the lake when I saw Cheney coming from a distance. He went to the pavilion and he looked at me.\

I walked up to him and looked at him. "I was here for a while now, and I saw Uncle Jacob walking by over there. Has he been to the Jade Court?"

"Yes."

"Is Flora awake?"

"Awake."

I was relieved. "That's really great. I heard that she fainted because she knew about my marriage with you, and she has been blaming herself a little."

His eyebrows were stained with displeasure. "Who did you hear it from?"

"After she fainted, Wyatt came to the Peony Hall, and he mentioned about Flora’s recovery? But never mind."

"Uncle Jacob said that she woke up, but she didn't want to eat and had no desire to survive."

I wondered, "Uncle Jacob said that? Didn't you go to the hospital to see her?"

"Not yet." He shook his head.

"Why didn't you go?" I was a little surprised. I thought he must have stayed in the hospital all day today.
