"Then … I saw the scars on her back …"
Qin Chu didn't speak. Instead, he gently raised his hand and wiped the tears off Huo Mien's face.
"There were so many scars on her back … They were so dense that it was shocking."
Huo Mian's voice trembled as she recalled the scene from just now.
Qin Chu had expected this. After all, Lu Yan had been fighting and killing for years and couldn't have come out unscathed.
Not long ago, she was surrounded by Ian and his men in a cold storage room and almost died together with them.
"Lu Yan is a mercenary and her job is dangerous. She fights with people, kills on missions, and is even hunted down and on the run. She's bound to get hurt in the process," Qin Chu explained patiently.
"Honey, she's only 20 years old. In China, girls her age should be in college. She should dress up every day to go out with her boyfriend and hang out with her best friends. But Yan, she …" Huo Mian couldn't help but cry again.
"Honey, everyone's life is different … Lu Yan has her own life. Even though you're sisters, you live in two different worlds. That's a fact that can't be changed."
"If only Dad, Mom, and Dad had given birth to her. Then I could live the life she has now."
"But life can't be restarted. I know you love Yan, but this can't be changed. Honey, you're so smart. Don't you understand this?"
Qin Chu comforted Huo Mien for a while and held him tightly in his arms.
On the other side, Lu Yan took a shower and changed into her pajamas. Then, she went to the twins' room and continued to play games with her nieces.
At midnight, the twins fell asleep.
Then, she changed into a black windbreaker, packed her belongings, and walked downstairs.
It was already past midnight. At this time, everyone in South Hill Manor had fallen into a deep sleep.
She didn't want to say goodbye to her sister because it would be another tear-jerking scene.
She didn't like to cry and didn't want to be so soft-hearted.
Therefore, she planned to leave quietly again and send her sister a text message later.
Lu Yan left through the back door with her bag without alerting the security guard.
The rest of the men picked her up and went to the pier.
Huo Mien stood behind a big tree not far away, crying silently.
Her heart ached as she watched Lu Yan leave alone.
She wanted to give Lu Yan a good life, but at this moment, she realized how weak she was.
It seemed that nothing could change.
"It's windy here, let's go back."
Qin Chu took the coat and put it on Huo Mien. Then, he put his arm around her shoulder and went back to the room.
Lu Yan left as abruptly as she had come, without any warning.
Su Yu was even more clueless about the situation.
An got up in the morning and sent a message to Lu Yan, but she didn't reply.
The number he saved was the temporary one Lu Yan used in China.
Once she left, Lu Yan wouldn't log into her WeChat account, afraid that her whereabouts would be exposed.
Seeing that there was no response, An mustered up his courage and made a call.
In the end, he found that he couldn't get through.
Then, he gritted his teeth and shamelessly called Huo Mien.
"President Huo."
"An, what is it?" On the other end of the phone, Huo Mien didn't sound very happy.
"Is Miss Lu Yan there? She likes lotus leaf noodles, right? I found a new restaurant on Tianyi Road. It tastes good. I want to ask her if she wants to eat it. "
"It's okay, she's gone." Huo Mian sounded tired.
