Life is really tough for them. Jiang Ming Yue witnessed when her sister got nightmares tonight. Jiang Ming Hua's clothes were scattered and they have to share their layer clothes to make sure that they didn't freeze when the night came.
Along the night, Jiang Ming Yue couldn't sleep because Ming Hua got a fever after what she had passed through during the day. Even Jiang Ming Yue doesn't understand what happened with her sister but judge from the blood on her sister's clothes, she could imagine what had been occurred. Jiang Ming Yue feels so scared because she has nothing but her only sister. Both of them just have each other since their parents passed away.
The cold night becomes tortured for them. Jiang Ming Yue embraces her sister tightly because she is really scared as if her sister will leave her soon because she is not ready yet to be alone.
"Jie Jie." Jiang Ming Yue called her sister just to make sure that Jiang Ming Hua still breathing.
"Uhm...Jie Jie is here." Jiang Ming Hua responded to her sister. She opens her eyes and sees Jiang Ming Yue's tears. "Ming Yue, don't cry." She said to calm her sister as she wipes Jiang Ming Yue's tears. "Ming Yue, Jie Jie is here. Don't cry."
"I don't cry." Ming Yue wipe away her own tears before Jiang Ming Hua could reach her face again.
"Ming Yue. It's alright." Jiang Ming Hua said in a low tone. "It's alright. Let's sleep."
"Jie Jie where we have to live right now?" Jiang Ming Yue asked her sister.
"Jie Jie still doesn't know but Jie Jie will work so we can but food." She said.
They sleep embrace each other to make their body warm. Even Jiang Ming Hua feels great pain but she doesn't show it to her sister because she doesn't want her sister to worry. The pain is almost breaking her body apart. What had happened on the day was a disaster for her but she doesn't have a choice.
"Jie Jie let's sleep." Jiang Ming Yue touches her sister's eyes as if she forces her sister to sleep. "I am here for Jie Jie." She said again.
"Uhm...Jie Jie know." Jiang Ming Hua responded to her sister.
Actually, their body was tired and in the end, both of them close their eyes and they let their body become a little bit relax.
They never know what will happen in the future but as long as they still together, it's will be alright. They have each other so everything can be solved, right? How if life isn't working like that? Everything can change. Nothing or no one can give the guarantee that everything will be the same as in the past.

Jiang Ming Yue turned around and see that her sister open her eyes as Ming Hua's face still pale.
"Jie Jie, what should we do?" Jiang Ming Yue asked her sister because she really doesn't know what should do in this situation.
"Don't worry. Just take a rest for a while and after this, we will go from this place." Jiang Ming Hua said to her sister.
"Jie Jie are you sure?"
"Uhm."
"I will be looking for something to eat." Jiang Ming Yue said to Jiang Ming Hua.
"Uhm. Ming Yue, be careful." Jiang Ming Hua said to her sister while she gives her smile to Ming Yue.
"Uhm..."

Jiang Ming Yue can't control her heartbeat even she can hear her own heart beating so faster. The blood scene from her uncle's manor still fresh in her mind and that makes her run faster.
Even Jiang Ming Yue can fight but she didn't want to make Jiang Ming Hua waiting for her too long so she chooses to come back to her sister but at the same time there is someone who follows her. Jiang Ming Yue keeps running because Jiang Ming Yue is scared if someone who hurt her sister finds her.
"Jie Jie, run!" Jiang Ming Yue shouted. She hopes her sister heard her warning and go to before this man catches her.

"Don't hit my sister." She standing up even her body is so weak and her face is so pale. "Please don't touch my sister." Jiang Ming Hua says in a low tone.
That man just looked so confused with the reaction of the two girls in front of her but after he looked at the blood on Ming Hua's clothes, He decides to back off.
"I am sorry if I was offended you but I will not hurt you." That man said to the two sisters that standing in front of her.
But at the same time, Jiang Ming Hua's body falls to the ground and makes Jiang Ming Yue panicked.
"Jie Jie! Don't leave me!" Jiang Ming Yue shouted while she shakes her sister's body so hard to make her sober but Ming Hua still not open her eyes yet.
Jiang Ming Yue startled when that nobleman in front of her bring her sister in his arms. The moment is so fast and Jiang Ming Yue never thought that man will bring her sister like that way.
"What are you doing!" Jiang Ming Yue intended to attack that man but there is another man who blocks her attacks.
"Let my Young Master help your sister." He said.
