Chapter 2 — Great Lady of Cleanliness

I quietly asked Uncle Tran:

“How many meters away is she from the hospital room?”

Uncle Tran immediately responded:

“Within three meters.”

“Report the police.”

Tong Noan Noan's face turned pale. Ky Lam Xuyen couldn't help but speak:

“Chi Chi, she just came to deliver porridge…”

“I said call the police.”

My fingers began to tremble from stress, red spots slowly appeared on my wrists. Ky Thinh Lan's expression immediately changed:

“Get out of the way! She's about to get sick again!”

Tong Noan Noan took a step back in fear, tears immediately rolled down.

"Sorry, it's all the puppy's fault, puppies shouldn't come close."

“But I really just want to apologize…”

I looked at her excellent performance and suddenly felt tasteless. I closed my eyes and said only one sentence:

“Tell that dog to go away.”

“You too.”

“Go away.”

The day he was discharged from the hospital, there was a big snowstorm at Ky's old house. Uncle Tran personally came to pick me up. The temperature in the car is maintained at twenty-two degrees. The seats were all replaced with new leather, and there was no scent in the air. This was my previous standard. But when the car drove into the old house, I still vomited. Because I saw Tong Noan Noan standing next to the white camellia bush my mother planted herself, watering the flowers. She wore my cashmere scarf. On my wrist, I wear a string of pearls in my room. Seeing the car stop, she immediately panicked and hid the watering can behind her back.

“Miss, you're back.”

“The puppy just saw that the flowers were about to dry, so he wanted to help you take care of them a little.”

I didn't get off the bus. I asked Uncle Tran:

“Who let her into the old house?”

Uncle Tran's face was very unsightly:

“Third uncle said that Miss Noan Noan has been frightened recently and needs a quiet environment to rest.”

I burst out laughing.

“She was scared?”

At the engagement party, the person whose watch was broken was me. The one who was shocked was me. The person in the ICU is me. What kind of panic is she having? Ky Thinh Lan came out of the house, a tired look on her eyebrows.

“Chi Chi, now Noan Noan has a mild traumatic reaction.”

“She gets scared every time she sees me.”

I looked up at him.

“So you arranged her to come into my house?”

Ky Thinh Lan paused.

“It's just a temporary stay.”

“From a young age, no one loved her. She grew up in a homeless situation and had a very poor sense of security.”

“You have us, you have the Ky family, you have everything.”

“Chi Chi, I can't even go to a room that can't handle her.”

I looked at him silently for three seconds. Then tell the driver:

“Turn around.”

Ky Thinh Lan's face changed:

“Chi Chi!”

I didn't pay attention to him. Just as the car was about to turn, Tong Noan Noan suddenly rushed to the car window. Her eyes were red and her voice was soft and nauseating.

"Miss, don't go."

“The puppy can move out.”

“A puppy is something that no one needs and can be found anywhere.”

The more she cried, the more Ky Thinh Lan was heartbroken. He blocked the front of the car.

“Chi Chi, that's enough.”

“You can't use running away from home every time to threaten us.”

I looked at him blocking the car and suddenly remembered my childhood. I'm afraid of the sound of rain. Every time it rains and storms at night, Ky Thinh Lan hugs me and sits until morning. He said:

“Chi Chi, don't be afraid, my third brother will always stand in front of you.”

It turns out he really knew for sure. It's just that now, what he's blocking is my way home. I pushed the car door open and got out. Snow fell on my shoulders, a bit cold crawl along the spine. Tong Noan Noan instinctively backed away, as if afraid that I would hit her. I walked in front of her, reached out and pulled the shawl down. She cried out and fell to the snow.

“Miss, I'm just so cold…”

Ky Thinh Lan rushed forward to help her.

“Ky Van Chi!”

I clutched the scarf tightly, my fingers shaking a little.

“This is something my mother left behind.”

“The year she passed away, I slept with this towel for three months.”

“Who let you touch it?”

Tong Noan Noan cried until she couldn't breathe.

“Sorry, puppy doesn't know.”

“If the puppy knows this is the lady's thing, the puppy will definitely not touch it.”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly clutched her chest, her face pale. Ky Thinh Lan immediately tensed up:

"Noan Noan? What's wrong with you?"

Tong Noan Noan leaned weakly on his lap.

“Maybe... too scared.”

“Just now, the way the young lady looked at me looked like she wanted to kill a puppy.”

I burst out laughing. Really laughed. Ky Thinh Lan's face darkened.

“Chi Chi, apologize to her.”

I looked at him:

“What did you say?”

“She has a panic attack, you stimulated her.”

“Apologise.”

I suddenly felt very cold. Cold to the bone. I threw the shawl on the ground.

“It's dirty.”

“No need anymore.”

Ky Thinh Lan's face turned slightly white. I turned around and went into the main house. As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Tong Noan Noan's glass of water placed on my private counter. Her slippers are next to my disinfectant cabinet. I even had a crooked note stuck in front of my door: 【Puppy stay here for a while, miss, don't be angry.】 I stood at the door, my breathing gradually increasing. The whole body's skin begins to heat up. The redness spread from the neck down to the collarbone. Ky Thinh Lan finally realized something was wrong and rushed forward to help me.

“Chi Chi!”

I pushed his hand away.

“Don't touch me.”

“Your hands are dirty.”

He stiffened. I held onto the wall and slowly said to Uncle Tran:

“Smash it.”

Uncle Tran was stunned.

“Eldest lady?”

I looked at the house that had been invaded by Tong Noan Noan and said word by word:

“The places she used to touch.”

“Destroy everything.”

After that day, the Ky family's old house was smashed to the point where it no longer had its original shape. I moved into Van Dinh apartment in the city center. That is the house my mother left behind when she was alive. Besides Uncle Tran and the permanent medical team, no one knows the password. I thought I could finally be quiet. Until half a month later, in my own psychotherapy room, I saw Tong Noan Noan's livestream. She wore a simple white dress, sat in front of the camera, her eyes were red.

"Everyone, please don't scold the young lady."

“She's just not in good health and her temper is a bit uncontrollable.”

“I don't blame her.”
