WAS IT A MISTAKE!!??

L

Knock was heard from zhan's door before it is opened revealing Qin lan with a tray of breakfast.

"Zhan baby. Oh!" Putting the tray on the table reached the curled Zhan on the floor. "Dear wake up. It's very cold down there" she helped him stand pushed him to the bathroom. His mind is just listening to what he's been told to do and soon he was fresh laying on the bed, half covered with the duvet. "Okay. Good morning"

"Good morning, Aunt" looking at his fingers, which were dancing to each other.

"I never thought you would be this miserable than your mother. Please take care of yourselves will you? You stay like this worried about my son, I know you should, but not this way. Same goes to your mom, who is worried about you. What kind of a chain is this" she spoke in a scolding tone.

"I'm sorry"

"Then stay strong before you say sorry. Feel sorry for your mother too who has been feeling pathetic because her son has closed himself from her, even with your father beside her, that didn't help. Please be strong for yibo. You believe on him, right?..

"I do, but..

"Don't want to hear that. I came here to feed you breakfast, my husband is with Yan right now. Then face your mother. Seeing your face, we mothers I know that will be enough for her, but don't shut her down. Man up and go to work." Feeding him some eggs.

"I'm sorry you have such a weak son-in-law, he is just whimpering here not knowing what to do in order to find his boyfriend. Don't you feel anger towards me?? I should be looking for yibo right now but....right now I even wish to hide my face from you...I feel embarrassed, useless, pathetic, I.. I-

"Shhhh" she hugged him as he just sobbed. "Self blame is bad for health, you can't end up like my son. On e needs to be more strong for the other. Right now, I only wish for him to eat, for the baby to nourish. That's all what I wish for because he is far from us" a tear escaped her eyes.

"Yibo, is...is luck to have you. You...you have a very soft heart. Thank you Aunt" he sobbed but soon tired overtook him and dozed off. She left only to find xiuying outside as she sent her too for a rest.

At the forest, yibo was sitting at the dinning table looking at the one he once called Mom, humming a song while doing her chores. They might be resembling in few things.

"Here have some fruits" she squeezed the plate on him.

"No poison?" He smirked after seeing her face in anger.

"Who is the father?"

"Xiao zhan, my fiancee" looking at his ring. He told his mother about the pregnancy which she had stayed quiet and now opening up on the same topic. "What! You want to kill him? Then before him finish me first" he spoke looking at her on eye.

"Do you really hate me this much? Was asking for you as mother's right to stay with he son wrong?-

"A very. Big. WRONG. Got that! Kidnapping me, isn't asking but forcing. I'm the child and it's considered as we are been given a great priority to chose. And do you wish to think in advance what and whom I'd chose? It's father...the moment you kidnapped me when I was young, I came to detest you like a dung, you didn't deserve my voice Calling you Mom, even now, though I'm trying but it doesn't reach my mind even my throat. I hate you and when you killed those innocent people just to get me? My detest towards you increased more, more" pushing the plate harshly and everything landed down broken dirtying the floor.

"I hate you!! You are keeping me here, don't you think I won't be happy, I'll always be afraid of you!!..who knows what you'll do to me at night, no one knows!! Even I? is scared to eat your foods but remembering my daughter? I can't stop myself and only pray for both to be safe. My love for you died long ago...mom? My trust for you vanished the day you showed me your true colors and tried my best to stay far from you but failed. If I didn't see anything that day, if I. Didn't. See. Anything. Who knows? Maybe we would still be a family. Let me ask you a question" wiping his snorts and tears, and continued.

"Did you regret giving birth to me? No! But I guess it was the moment you knew about me and changed your ideology that turned to hate. I can read right now how shocked and angry you were. But right now blaming you is even hard because I see myself as a trouble to this world. I am the one to be blamed because I turned you that way, cunning and possessive woman!!" Slamming his hands on the table yibo ran to the loft room where he has been sleeping. There he let it all out, he wailed till he fell asleep. Carmen sighed and went to get prepared.

It's late evening when yibo woke up and felt the silence in the room so he stepped the stair and tiptoed to the room opposite the kitchen only to find it empty.

"Is she not home? Where is she? Wait..so.." his eyes sparked and mind started working. " But what if it's a prank and she is watching what I would do. I don't care" throwing his hands on air. Soon yibo was well clean with a black stripped jeans and a black long sleeve Balenciaga with some random sandals he saw and put them on. But the door was locked, not that dumb he took a fire extinguisher and started breaking the door. "Thanks God" placing his phone in the pocket safely he went to the fridge and picked some fruits and cooked foods then left........

Back to the city, Ji li was busy analysing his thoughts until his mind clicked.

"Remember when we asked Mr Youn some questions. The houses which they used to go on vacations and yibo once to be kidnapped?" And the others nodded. "First I want to see the house yibo was kidnapped before. I have a hunch it might be in the woods, something like that. Yun Bin call Mr Yi Zhou" he spoke seriously while Bin looked at him in awe, like the man was not his father even if not biologically, but soon, he nodded.

Zhan still was in his office his phone on hand. He had always expected a call from yibo or for him to reach yibo but failed and today he tried again but it was a failure, before he could stand to leave a secretary came in with stucks of files.

"There is a meeting this evening sir. A call is from ****company and its urgent. Then the other one will take place in eight thirty this night." Informed the secretary while he only hissed in annoyance and it's getting night already.

Yibo who was running, saw lights from afar and chose to hide himself. What if he shows himself to be his mother because he was right when it passed him. It was her. Looking up, it's getting more late at night and many things run his mind right now,  like where is he going to sleep in between the woods, what if a strange animal kills him?

"Think only positive things yibo. You have your phone with you, there are many good things to watch" encouraging himself yibo continued to walk on whatever it is but not under the same roof with that woman.

Carmen who came with things from the car fell from her hold when she saw the door ajar.

"No no no no, NOOO" throwing everything, destroyed the house just in a blink. Panting she looked murderous. "You were right. *Smirk* you changed me to whom I am now. Dangerous. You shouldn't have escaped, I wanted to change.., change for you, be a good mother and grandmother too. Guess not anymore, and it's because of YOU? You ran away. Now it's my choice, to kill you or hide you forever from the world even the nature." Grinning evily she went and took her rifle and filled it with bullets. Testing it outside the house, the loud bang directed to the huge tree made the birds chrip and fly away while yibo who was just dozing under the tree, woke up with a jerk looked here and there with the small light from the moon because of the closeness between trees.

"This is bad" standing with wobby legs and trembling body he ran from only God knows the direction.

"I hope... this was enough to make you tremble, I'm coming...
