Chapter 357 - 355: Can't Forgive Him Yet
Chapter 357 - 355: Can't Forgive Him Yet
"However what?" She asked him impatiently.
"She's the one who gave me that phone and also dropped me off the park. She told me to call you if I still want to live."
That was indeed weird.
"Eunji, I didn't mean to hide this from you. I'm sorry if our relationship was not as simple as it originally looked."
Then J got up from his bed and then they watched as he was about to kneel on the floor but Celine stopped him mid-way.
"Don't kneel. It's not good for you." Celine told him and she helped him sit back on the bed.
"I'm very sorry Eunji." J said with tears in his eyes.
They could tell that he really regretted everything that he had done.
Eunji looked at J with complicated feeling.
After knowing everything, she didn't know how to look at J.
"Since you dared to hide this from me. Bear with the consequences." Eunji then stood up and walked out of the room.
Celine and Kelly ran after her while Sam and Mo Jing-sheng was left with J.
J was left crying to himself.
Eunji found herself crying while walking on the hallway of the hospital.
The anger she felt towards what J had done became tears in her eyes.
The pain of betrayal was too much for her to just forget.
Eunji then turned around and saw Kelly and Sam behind her.
"Stop following me, please. I want to be alone."
"I'm sorry Eunjichan but we can't." Celine said.
"You called me because you wanted to talk. Then, I want to hear your explanation."
"Kelly? Not now. Can't you see she's unwell?" Celine whispered to Kelly.
"I want to go home." Eunji told them out of the blue.
"But you're still unwell." Seeing that Eunji continued walking away from them so Celine had no other choice but to agree to it.
With Mo Jing-shen's help, Eunji was discharged in the hospital immediately.
When they reached the parking lot, Celine and Kelly didn't know where to bring Eunji.
They didn't know where she currently live.
"Ahm."
They were about to ask her when Eunji told them, "Get in."
And they did.
"Alora." Eunji then called Alora and the latter took over the car's navigation system.
During the entire ride, Eunji kept her eyes closed and tried her best to avoid any conversation.
When they reached the apartment building, Eunji hopped off the car and she walked straight to the elevator.
When they reached her apartment, Eunji directly went inside her room while Celine and Kelly were left standing in the living room.
"I think you should go home Kel. I'll stay with Eunjichan so you don't have to worry. Brother Jing-sheng might get worried."
"No. I'll stay. I won't leave her. Who knows what she would do next." Kelly stubbornly insisted.
Then she sat down on sofa then continued, "And besides, Ah Jing-sheng won't mind as long as I am careful."
Celine also followed Kelly and she sat down on the opposite couch.
"What should we do then?" Celine asked Kelly.
Kelly sighed then said, "Honestly, I don't know. The best thing is to be here with her at all times. If Asia was indeed around and not Ana, then her life was in danger."
"Why?"
"I have not personally met her but based on Uncledad's description of her, Asia's a violent alter of Ana."
"Then, will she be okay?"
Kelly sighed once again before and she answered it.
"With Nathan's departure, I don't know. Eunji needed her family right now for support. However given the threats around, it's very dangerous. And also she would never want her family see her like this."
"Indeed." Celine agreed to what Kelly said.
"Eunji must have been very happy knowing that her sister was actually alive."
"Yeah. She and Eomma Layla."
"Auntie? She's alive?!" Kelly asked her in disbelief.
"Yes."
"Damn! I have missed out so much!" Kelly felt disappointed even more.
Celine felt bad hearing that. So she moved closer and comforted her.
"I'm sorry. But please don't be angry with Eunji. She had her reasons why she didn't communicate with you."
"Maybe because of my dad?" Kelly mumbled and Celine didn't say anything.
Only Eunji could explain herself to Eunji.
Meanwhile, Eunji was on her bed sleeping lying down with Nathan's clothes.
"Alora, don't answer any incoming calls. I want to be alone. As for Nathan, stop looking for him."
Eunji said and then removed the earpiece from her ear and placed it on the bedside table. She didn't even wait for Alora to answer her.
Eunji didn't want to think things anymore.
All she wanted was to sleep.
Meanwhile in Asia's side. Asia was sitting on the rattan lounge by the pool area of the house that they're currently staying at the moment when Frederick approached her.
"Did you let that dog escape?!" Frederick asked her.
"What dog? I didn't know we have a dog in this property." She asked him innocently.
"Stop pretending like you knew nothing!" He yelled at her.
"You know what I mean! That Jin Jie."
"Oh, him?"
"Yes! My men called and told me that he's no longer in the cell. Where did you bring him?"
"I don't know. Is it my fault that your men were incompetent? Who knows, he might have find ways to escape." She said.
However Frederick didn't listen to her and so he was about to grab her by the neck but before he could even start, Asia stood up and looked at him fiercely.
"You know what I'm capable of doing. You're lucky that we are on the same page here. If not, you're already buried six feet below the ground since yesterday. Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hand."
This time, Frederick was unsure on what to do.
"Look at you. You wanted to be the Underworld King, yet you're afraid of someone like me." Asia whispered with a smirk before walking away.
Frederick could only kick the pot of plant beside him and broke it.
"You damn woman!"
Frederick could not explain why but every time Asia would gaze at him, he would freeze. He had no idea what was happening to him.
Asia on the other hand went inside her room.
She changed her clothes into a more casual one and then went into the garage and chose another car.
She sped off on the highway to enjoy the view of early Spring.

Eunji didn't know how long she had been sleeping but it was already dark outside when she woke up.
Eunji heard a knock on the door then Celine spoke behind it.
"Eunjichan! Dinner's ready!"
"Go away! I don't want to eat!"
"Eunjiyah! Don't be like this. Think about your children. Little Midori, Little Aoi, Sofie and Little Eve? Do you want them to see you like this? They still need you so you better snap out of it as soon as possible." Celine told her behind the door.
She was hoping that when she mentioned her children's names, she would finally open the door.
She barely had any food in her mouth since dinner last night.
Celine heard the door unlocked and slowly the door opened.
"Hey." Celine greeted with a smile.
Seeing that Celine was there despite how she acted since earlier, Eunji felt guilty.
"I'm sorry." She said weakly.
"What for?"
"For being like this."
"Don't be. Take your time. We understand you. It's your right to feel depressed given the situation that you're in. However, please don't shut us out completely."
Then before Eunji could respond to that, Celine changed the topic.
"Oh, let's go before the food turned cold."
"I'm not really hungry. Really." Eunji stubbornly replied.
"Just eat a little, please? We don't want you to get sick in the stomach for skipping meals. My niece and nephews will get worried surely."
Upon hearing her sweet children again, Eunji weakly nodded her head.
"Good."
When they reached the dinning room, Kelly was already sitting on the dinning table.
All through out dinner, Kelly and Eunji didn't exchange any words.
While they were eating their dinner, Francais was talking to Doctor Frank Albert about the means to control Asia.
"How's the program that you're making?" He asked the doctor.
"You came on the right time! I am about to start the testing." Dr. Albert announced happily.
"Good!"
Francais then found himself a seat and started running the program on the computer.
Asia who had just arrived in the house staggered on her tracks when she felt a sudden pang of pain on her head.
The pain was unbearable that she passed out and fell on the floor.
Frederick then came towards her. He was holding his phone with Francais on the other line.
"How was it?" Francais asked him anxiously.
"I don't know, she passed out." He said and then nudged Asia with his feet.
"Are you sure that when she wakes up, you had her under control already?"
"Yes. I'm sure. The program's running. The chip inside her head are doing their job." Dr. Albert butted in.
"Good. She's quite a handful, you know." Frederick said with relief.
He then ended the call and then crouched down to look at her.
His gaze changed while looking at her.
"Now, this woman's going to be under my control."
Back in the lab, Francais and Dr. Albert were pleased with the results.
"I never thought this journal could be very helpful to us."
"I know right. Keep it in a safe place. Don't lose that."
"Of course, Sir.. I will."
