Without any interference from outsiders, Lisa lifted her leg and headed upstairs. She asked the butler, "My room has been unoccupied since Grandfather was hospitalized. How did it suddenly start leaking?"
"Miss Qingxue sneaked into your room this afternoon when we weren't paying attention, and we don't know exactly what she did. By the time we discovered it, the water had already leaked outside..." the butler replied, clearly troubled. Without the Old Master's intervention, there was little he could say to Shen Qingxue's family. After all, the Old Master placed great importance on family. Miss Lisa had always followed Sehun wholeheartedly, and the house had been quiet and empty. Regardless of what Shen Qingxue's family had in mind, the Old Master was surrounded by these people...
Lisa nodded and walked to the door of her room, pushing it open. She saw that the accumulated water on the wooden floor had already been cleaned up, leaving dark stains behind. She walked to the side of the bed, bent down, and took out a small box from underneath.
The box was quite old, showing signs of cracks and had absorbed some water. She opened it and found that the stuffed teddy bear inside was soaked. She wrung out the water from the bear and left it to dry on the balcony. She remained silent for a while.
Lisa spent the night at the old house and woke up the next morning to find the teddy bear had dried. However, the teddy bear had been around for too long, and this soaking had taken its toll. The fabric couldn't withstand it, and there were signs of detachment at the connection between the bear's head and body.
Lisa found some thread and sewed it back together.
In the morning, Xu Fengzhi came with some people to cause trouble again but was once again stopped outside. There was no reasoning with such people, and
Lisa did not bother to engage. Since it was the weekend, and Lisa rarely took a break, she did not go to the office in the morning and went directly to the apartment.
Seeing her holding the teddy bear, Jennie asked, "You went back to the Old Residence just to get this thing?"
Lisa closed the door and replied, "Yes."
Jennie was puzzled, "Does this thing hold any special meaning for you? It's in such bad shape, why are you keeping it?"
Lisa froze. Any special meaning? There used to be. During the days when she had a one-sided love for Sehun, this teddy bear was her spiritual solace. Every time she saw this teddy bear, it would remind her of the boy who had held her in his arms ten years ago on a gloomy rainy day. As she reminisced, her affection for Sehun would slowly grow, becoming harder to contain and let go of.
Once again, Lisa suddenly realized that she didn't love the Sehun who treated her coldly every day, but rather the young man who had accompanied her through the lows of life. Or perhaps, she was pursuing that warmth from the past, a ray of light she had idealized.
However, despite chasing for so many years, she had never been able to recapture that feeling. And in the previous life, she had paid a price for it.
She pinched the round ears of the teddy bear and muttered to herself, "It used to be there, but now it's gone."
Jennie could not understand what she meant, but seeing Lisa's expression, she did not inquire further. "I'm going downstairs to buy breakfast. What would you like to eat?"
"I'm not hungry... I have to go out soon." Lisa thought for a moment and decided not to delay any longer.
Jennie was puzzled. "Where are you going? You just got back."
Lisa's voice was calm and steady. "To the hospital." She wanted to return this teddy bear to Sehun. He had once said that this teddy bear would stand in for him in protecting her. However, he had become the person who hurt her the most. Now that she had let go, it was time to say a final goodbye. There was no need to keep this thing anymore.
