Chapter 18
Chapter 18 — My sister gave birth and then left. I took the baby and knocked on the door of my great-grandfather's house
My head buzzed loudly. It was like countless fireworks exploded in there, completely white. I... am Wen Niem? How is that possible? When Wen Niem disappeared, Co Du Chau was eighteen years old. And I am now, just turned eighteen years old. So where are the ten years in between? The timing is completely inconsistent! This is basically a fantasy!
“What's wrong with you?”
Co Du Chau keenly noticed my abnormality. He held my shoulder, his eyes filled with worry.
“Why is your face so pale?”
I looked at him, my lips moved but I couldn't make any sound. How should I tell you? Tell me, a line of text appeared that only I could see, saying I was your fiancee who had been missing for ten years? Do you consider me a crazy person?
“Co Du Chau…”
My voice was dry and choked with bitterness.
“I said if.”
“I am On Niem, do you believe it?”
After saying this sentence, I tensed and held my breath. Waiting for your verdict. Co Du Chau's pupils suddenly contracted. He looked at me, his eyes swirling with anger. There was surprise, there was disbelief, and there was also... a fierce struggle that I couldn't understand. The atmosphere in the living room instantly froze. A while later. It took so long that I thought my heart was about to jump out of my chest. He slowly and carefully spoke each word. Tears immediately flowed from my eyes. Not because of resentment, nor because of fear. It's because of your unconditional trust. I asked chokingly.
“Just because of that line?”
He shook his head. He reached out and gently caressed my cheek. Those deep eyes, at this moment, were like a gentle galaxy, enveloping my entire being.
“For my heart.”
“From the first sight I saw of you.”
“My heart told me.”
“I'm back.”
“It's just that I don't dare to believe it, nor do I dare to accept it.”
“I'm afraid it's just my own illusion.”
“I'm afraid it will bring danger to you.”
His words, like a warm stream of water, instantly flowed through my limbs. Turns out, he had a premonition early on. Turns out, this isn't just my fight.
“But… the timing doesn't match.”
I bring up the biggest doubt.
“Ten years in between, where was I?”
“Why did I turn into Hua Niem?”
“Why don't I have any memories of the past?”
A series of questions came out of my mouth. These questions are also troubling Co Du Chau.
"I do not know."
He frowned.
“But surely someone knows.”
His eyes immediately turned cold.
“Assistant Li!”
He called out the door. Assistant Ly immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
“Go investigate for me!”
Co Du Chau's voice was cold as ice.
“Investigate all the top psychiatrists and hypnotists in S city, no, the entire country!”
“Especially those who suddenly withdrew or went silent ten years ago!”
He looked at me, with guilt in his eyes.
“Please ‘Hua Kien Cong and Trieu Lan come here for me.”
“I think, their mouths definitely hide a lot of secrets.”
Assistant Ly's work efficiency is surprisingly high. Less than two hours later. Hua Kien Cong and Trieu Lan with gray faces were taken to Van Dinh villa. They saw this magnificent living room, and the imposing man above sofa. So scared that my legs were weak and I fell to the floor.
“Co… General Co…”
Hua Kien Cong's voice trembled.
“You came to us, what's the matter?”
Co Du Chau did not pay any attention to him. He just played with the lighter in his hand, looking at them with cold eyes. Those eyes were like looking at two ants that could be crushed to death at any moment.
“I don't want to waste time.”
He spoke blandly.
“Hua Niem, whose family is she the child of?”
Trieu Lan and Hua Kien Cong's bodies suddenly trembled. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with panic.
“She… is our biological daughter!”
Trieu Lan was still trying to argue.
"Boss, you can't believe that beast's nonsense! He just wants to cut ties with us!"
Co Du Chau slammed the lighter in his hand on the tea table. Emitted a deafening sound. Threatened Trieu Lan to startle.
"It seems that you haven't shed tears yet when you see the coffin."
Co Du Chau smiled faintly.
“Assistant Ly.”
“Yes, General Co.”
Assistant Ly understood, took out his phone, and pressed the play button. Hua Kien Cong's voice full of resentment and complacency rang out from inside.
“… I have something in my hand, something enough to make you completely paralyzed and swept out of the door by the Co family!”
Assistant Ly's voice was emotionless.
