Chapter 202 - BLODDY WEDDING (PART 17)
Inspector Han began to have a headache. The helpless girl whom he had seen three years ago was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't understand how she was able to meet influential people in such a short amount of time. Did she even need a recommendation letter from him? He doubted it.
He let out a deep breath and agreed to her request, "Fine, you can go for a week. If you remember something, don't hesitate to inform me"
"Sure, no problem." Xue Lin stood up. She was here for too long. She needed to see her husband now.
She went to the entrance and waited for the constable who was supposed to drive her to the hospital. While she was waiting, she unexpectedly met the forensic doctor Yuren.
"I see you haven't left yet," he remarked.
Xue Lin answered, "No, I'm waiting for my chaperone."
He stood beside her and asked, "That culprit was your cousin, wasn't he?"
"Yes, he was," Xue Lin nodded while looking at the garden in front of the police station.
Dr. Yuren noted her every detail and then commented, "You don't seem sad. Your eyes are slightly red though. I'm sorry for your loss."
She didn't like it when someone observed her. Who would like it if their minds were being read like an open book? However, he was being polite, so she answered, "Thank you."
Dr. Yuren didn't leave. He still continued the conversation, "The autopsy report is out. It was confirmed that he died in the explosion. Also, the fire service report said that the bomb was in the bas.e.m.e.nt. It was very likely done by him."
'Why isn't he leaving? If he wants to say something, he can just say it. So bothersome,' Xue Lin thought. She replied, "It's hard to believe that he would do something like that. He was never a bright one."
"I understand your feelings." After a pause, he said, "You know I can see things that people usually cannot."
Xue Lin's thoughts halted. "What… do you see?"
Dr. Yuren looked at her deeply and said, "What do I see? When I look at you… I see death. When I smell you, I find the smell of blood… You have a smell of death around you. I'm around dead people for too long. I can clearly see someone who carries death with them. Be careful wherever you go. Your life isn't as peaceful as you wish for." After saying whatever he wanted to say, he abruptly turned around and left.
"…What was with him?" Xue Lin mumbled. Although she didn't want it, her heart shook because of what he just said. His words sounded too ominous.

"Why do you want to go to the wedding when you are injured?" Xue Lin asked her husband. She went to the hospital and found Ge Chen sitting on the bed and reading a magazine. He didn't seem like he was injured.
Ge Chen quietly said, "I need to go there for some work I cannot do staying here. Also, it's been a while since you last saw your friends. They weren't able to come to our wedding. You should give them the news of our marriage."
Xue Lin brushed off his excuses. "Forget about my friends. I can meet them whenever I want. Is your work more important than your health?"
Ge Chen smiled gently. "I can't hide anything from you, can I?"
His smile hit her soar heart, making it filled with warmth. Her heart skipped a bit. She scratched her head to hide her nervousness and changed the subject, "How is your back pain?"
Ge Chen lied without batting his eyes, "I hardly feel anything."
Xue Lin didn't have to look at his eyes to know if he was lying or telling the truth. She asked, "What will you gain from hiding your pain from me? Will it decrease or I would be happy?"
He answered, "Maybe you will be less worried."
Xue Lin narrowed her eyes. "Did you marry a five year old child?"
He chuckled softly and stated, "I guess not."
Xue Lin didn't like his roundabout answer. Her eyebrows creased. "What do you mean by 'guess'?"
Ge Chen took her hands in his and played with her fingers. "My wife is so small and cute and I forget that you are a big girl."
She puffed her cheek when she heard her husband's true feelings. "Does it make you feel like you are a pedophile?"
Ge Chen tactfully replied, "It makes me feel like I should never go against you in anything. I'm afraid of making you mad."
"Wise husband." Xue Lin hummed in satisfaction.
------------
That night, Ge Chen and Xue Lin set their journey to Italy. They slept in Ge Chen's private plane. When they woke up, they already reached Italy.
"Where will we stay?" Xue Lin asked when she saw that her husband had no plan to leave the airport.
Ge Chen realized that he had forgotten to tell her the details. He described, "We will take a helicopter and go to the ship where the wedding will be held."
Xue Lin was amazed. She couldn't remember if she had heard it before because she completely forgot if she did. She said, "Oh wow! I would love to attend a cruise wedding."
Ge Chen gave her a surprised look. "I didn't know you loved the cruise."
Xue Lin told him, "I like the ocean more than the forest. There is no bug in the ocean."
He inquired, "Can you handle a sea storm?"
Xue Lin replied, "I never did but I wouldn't mind as long as I come back alive."
Ge Chen chuckled. "Maybe we should have an adventure in the ocean if you are willing."
"I would love to if a capable captain takes care of me," Xue Lin stated while heading toward the helicopter.
"The captain will take care of you but you might lose interest in the ocean for the rest of your life." Ge Chen thought of her as an introverted girl. He didn't expect her to be adventurous. He found it very interesting.
He spoke inwardly, 'It looks like I have many things to find out about her. Not bad.'
