My Beautiful Love

When Doctor Qiao arrived, Lin Lihua let her check on Henry Blanc and went to look for Katy. 

As she had previously guessed, the girl was sleeping on her bed with her face full of tears. She was bundled up hugging her own body in extreme insecurity. She would call for her mother and sob once in a while. Even in her sleep, her tears kept falling, making her small soaked face really pitiable. 

Lin Lihua went foward and rubbed her small back to comfort her. 

In her subconscience, Katy felt someone rubbing her small body lovingly and saying words of comfort to her. 

She held onto that person's clothes and rubbed her head against them as though seeking protection. Mommy was not coming back. She was very scared. 

She missed mommy very much. Why did she suddenly leave? Why did she not take her along? If they were together, perhaps they would have the chance to fight the bad guys together...

At some point, though, her small body jerked. She awoke with a start. 

Why was the person coaxing her aunty Lin Lihua? 

She let go of her clothes that she had grabbed as though it was something she was afraid of. One would think that it was Lin Lihua who had forced her own clothes into her hands. 

She rubbed her tears away with her ting fist violently. 

Through the strands of curly brown hair that had stuck onto her face, her red swollen eyes looked at Lin Lihua with extreme fear. 

Lin Lihua knew what the girl was going through. She must have learnt about her mother's death through the news, such a shocking way... It would be surprising if she was not acting this way.

She reached to hug the little girl.  "Katy, don't be scared. Aunty will take care of you, okay?" Such a young child was hard to coax. She did not have the ability to let go like adults would. She could not possibly lie to her that her mother would return either. She could only comfort her this way. 

Katy, who had been close to Lin Lihua lately, pushed the latter's hands off her like they were disgusting. A fresh bout of tears washed her face anew. "No! Aunty Lihua cannot take care of me. Grandma said that you are the one who killed my mommy. She also said that you will act nice and kill me too." Like a recorder, Katy narrated everything she had been told by her grandmother, including how she specifically mentioned that she should not be an actress because actresses were pretentious people. 

Lin Lihua felt all the strength leave her body. 

Mrs. Blanc did what? That was the worst kind of mother and grandmother she had ever seen. No matter how much she hated her, she should never have made such a pure innocent child misunderstand. Who in their right mind would fill a child's brain with such darkness?

She hurled curses at Mrs. Blanc in her heart. That woman was a monster, not deserving the title of a mother or grandmother.  

She took a deep breath. No matter how much Mrs. Blanc had tarnished her reputation to draw Katy away from her, she would not stoop to her level and do the same. "Grandma misunderstood something. Don't listen to her right now, okay? When she feels better, she will also understand the truth of the matter." 

However, for such a fearful child as Katy, it only took one statement to make her fear something for ages. It was not easy to convince her.

Lin Lihua retreated temporarily. If she continued staying in Katy's room and agitating the girl, she might cry herself sick. Never mind, it would need time for her to adjust to reality. 

Leaving Katy's room, Lin Lihua checked on Ruoxi as well. 

Ruoxi had been sent out of Katy's room earmier and was sitting on the floor, hugging her favorite toy that she never let down for a minute, the teddy bear. 

She looked forlorn or perhaps a little scared too. After all, ever since being adopted, her new mother had left the country and not spent any time with her even after her return. 

As soon as she saw her mother, she flashed a shy smile. "Mom, I thought you would leave me." 

Just like Ruoxi, Lin Lihua was not accustomed to being a mother overnight either. 

She hugged her new daughter. "What nonsense have you been thinking about all day? I will never leave you." 

That was all Ruoxi needed to hear to be at peace. She pursed her lips and wrapped her arms around Lin Lihua's neck. 

By the time Lin Lihua left Ruoxi's room, she had a headache. 

The day after she got married, the house was filled with a depressing vibe. 

With a husband who was almost driving himself insane with grief, a niece who was crying endlessly and a daughter who was scared of being away from her, it was not sure how one could handle such an amount of pressure. 

That was without going into detail. She was being accused of murder. It wouldn't be long before she got arrested. 

With Mrs. Blanc fanning the flames, she would be in great luck if the matter did not blow out of proportion. 

Actually, it would surely do. 

She was such a famous woman and an influential one at that. For her to be accused of such a huge crime, the sun would rise in the West if it did not blow out of proportion. 

She would have the law as well as the public to answer to. 

"Mother-in-law, you have always wanted me to show my claws, right? Well, alright then. I will show my claws." She mumbled softly, declaring war.
