After the few words he shared the man beside him remained silent and Justin quietly observed him. The man seemed to have become more serious his mouth set in a firm line and thinner, like Chang, as his jaw was more pronounced than he remembered. He was still ridiculously handsome, time only seemed to have made him better. Justin thought to himself ruefully staring at the side profile of straight nose, full lips, hard jawline and focused eyes. His thick hair was combed back exposing his forehead except for a few stray hairs.
'Damn well if she doesn't want him anymore I'm totally gonna get me some of that!'
When they came to where Justin had left her, he saw that she was still sitting frozen with the jacket draped over her shoulders, staring blankly into space. Since he had left more tears had followed and were still following the first he had seen.
"Oh Qin'ai" Liang Jian Amal couldn't help whispering seeing her thin forlorn shape. Her beautiful thick curly hair had been completely chopped away too further thinning her image and showing off her pronounced collarbones. The tight dress only further enunciated his thoughts, and he tasted something sour thinking of all the people who saw her like that.
'No matter how you have changed you are still the woman I've yearned for and worked hard to return to.' he clenched his hands clenched tight with his throat at the sight and thought.
'I'm sorry. I had already been determined to be by your side no matter what and yet I wasn't when you needed me most. I failed you by making you wait for so long, and agreed to your grandfather's terms. I was afraid to make you cry anymore. Yet now you look to have suffered even more undue hardship in my absence. I do not know what the right thing to do anymore is, all I know is I wont leave unless you tell me to go.'
Seeing the mountain of food on the plate beside her he wondered if that was Justin Che's doing as he seemed to have always been looking out for her before from what she had told him. He gave a slight smile to than to his left grateful.
"Oh, not again." Jean-Jacques Dumont rushed to where she sat kneeling before her and pressed on his earbud that was connected to his security. Once connected he ordered one of the men to call their doctor for his grand-fille and told them to tell the doctor that she was having one of her episodes again.
Hearing that Liang Jian Amal ground his teeth but remained silent for the moment.
"I also need for one of the men to come carry Charmaine to her room discreetly for the doctor to examine."
"No need. I will carry my wife."
"Why would I let you do that. I still haven't forgiven you for all the pain you had caused her before when you abandoned her." Ignoring his words Liang Jian Amal and traded the cold jacket on her shoulders for his warm one and buttoned part of the front over her.
"I told you, I never abandoned her." Liang Jian Amal gently brushed a few stray hairs from her face before lifting her into his arms cradling her face to his shoulder. "I was more than willing to explain myself to you before, but now I could care less. Chang is my only priority. Show me where to take her or I will just leave with her now." Looking down he gave him only the most cursory glance before putting his eyes back on her.
"You wouldn't dare." Jean-Jacques Dumont rose glowering.
Looking from her pale face Liang Jian Amal gave him a confident stare in return, with a slight smile, a devilish gleam in his eyes.
Seeing that things were going south between the two of them quickly Justin intervened and gave a slight tug on Jean-Jacques Dumont's sleeve to catch his attention.
"Hey we should probably let him be. From what I heard from Shar she probably still needs to talk to him and get some closure or something. Before I left to get you guys she was calling out for him."
Jean-Jacques was surprised and reflected inwardly with a troubled expression.
'Have I been making things worse?'
"Fine, I will show you the way." Grudgingly Jean-Jacques Dumont showed him the way to her room and watched as the younger man gently lay her in her bed, removing her shoes before tucking her in. After placing her in the bed he stood by her side staring at her with an unfathomable expression tenderly caressing her cheek, tracing the tracks of her tears with a fingertip.
'Am I making the same mistake I did with Henri again?' Watching the scene before his eyes Jean-Jacques couldn't help but feel himself be moved.
"She fell asleep.'' From beside her bedside, a low voice came out tinged with sadness.
"Alright then, let's talk in my study and let her sleep for awhile. Mr. Che. will you accompany her until the physician arrives?"
"Of course."
"Thank you." Jean-Jacques Dumont addressed Justin before tuning back to Liang Jian Amal to meet a cold pair of eyes.
"Indeed we have a lot to talk about, starting with these "recurring episodes."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
