"Master Zu Wan… he is giving up his life to save Tristan…"
Zhen-Zhen was utterly astounded when she heard those words from Miho. She felt like her world was crushed again into tiny pieces.
'What did she mean by giving up his life? Can't he save Tristan without sacrificing his own life?'
Miho just dropped a huge bomb when she revealed the truth to Zhen-Zhen. She didn't know if she could accept this.
Her father didn't tell her about this. He never informed her nor consulted her. This was not what she wanted.
Zhen-Zhen looked at the ward with her eyes filled with despair. She wanted Tristan to recover. But she never wished for her father to disappear. She had just reunited with him. She couldn't bear to lose him again.
Zhen-Zhen's tears started to fall from the corner of her eyes. She moved her feet even though she felt like her energy was already drained.
She reached the door of the ward. Grandpa Lu and others noticed the fear and anxiety in Zhen-Zhen's eyes. Andrew had to hold her body for Zhen-Zhen not to collapse.
Her grave expression told them that something was not right. Zhen-Zhen was holding her chest tightly while her other hand began pounding the door.
"Fa-Fa… stop! Please stop! Don't do this… Don't leave me…" Zhen-Zhen began calling Zu Wan. She was so scared of losing her father once again.
"Fa-Fa… open the door. Please! Let's talk. Let me in!" She begged desperately.
No wonder her father asked her out today. She thought Zu Wan just wanted to cheer her up. It turned out, that moment was his last bonding and goodbye to his daughter.
"No! Fa-Fa, please open the door. STOP this… I don't want you to disappear!"
Grandpa Lu, Andrew, Tristan's parents, and Titania didn't know what was happening. It seemed that Zu Wan was going somewhere. They also began to worry about him, most especially Titania.
'Zu Wan was acting very strange last night and today. What is he planning? Zu Wan… please be safe. Don't leave us.' Titania silently wished.
Zhen-Zhen continued pounding the door using her fists while calling Zu Wan. On the other hand, FaMo and Zu Wan who were inside the room could also hear her plea.
"Master, it seems that Zhen-Zhen already found out what you are trying to do here. She wanted to stop you." FaMo felt distracted when he heard Zhen-Zhen's pleading voice. She was already crying.
"FaMo, focus! Tristan needs us. I… I can't stop now. I can't leave him like this, or else he will die."
Zu Wan wanted to open the door for Zhen-Zhen but he was afraid that he might change his mind once he saw her crying. Tristan's life was in great danger this time. This was the only way to save him.
Zhen-Zhen would be more devastated if Tristan died so he couldn't afford to fail now. Giving up his life to save Tristan was like giving Zhen-Zhen her lasting happiness with a complete family.
Even if he was gone, someone would stay by Zhen-Zhen's side… someone who would take care of her and love her for the rest of their lives.
"I'm sorry, Zhen-Zhen… if I have to leave like this. This is for your own sake… for your happiness," Zu Wan mumbled, looking at the door. Then he closed his eyes once again, concentrating on healing Tristan using his life.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen tried to break the barrier so that she could get inside.
"Fa-Fa, listen to me. There might be another way to save Tristan. Don't do this. I can't lose you too!"
But her plea just fell on deaf ears. Zu Wan didn't respond to her.
'Miho, please… Can you break this barrier? I need to stop my father.' Zhen-Zhen talked to Miho through their mind link.
'Zhen-Zhen, I can't do that. If I try to break the barrier, there will be a disturbance on Master Zu Wan's end. It might affect him while treating Tristan…' Miho also didn't know what to do. Zu Wan already told her not to do anything reckless.
'Honestly, this is the only way to save Tristan, Zhen-Zhen. If we intervene now, then Master Zu Wan and Tristan will be in danger. Master Zu Wan wished you to understand.'
Zhen-Zhen's heart could no longer bear this. She didn't want to lose any of them. Tristan and Zu Wan were both important to her.
Couldn't handle the emotional turmoil, Zhen-Zhen passed out in Andrew's arms.
"Lillie!!!"
"Zhen-Zhen!!!"
'Mo-Mo, please help us…' Those were her last thoughts before she was lost in darkness.
Andrew carried Zhen-Zhen in her room. They were worried that she was not in good health so Grandpa Lu asked Dos to examine Zhen-Zhen's condition.
She suffered from emotional stress, knowing she might lose either one of the two important people in her life. She wanted to escape this reality so in her deep sleep she dreamed of being together with her family.
Little Cassandra and Little Christian were there, including Tristan, Zu Wan, and her mother, Eva.
As she was dreaming of this, her tears continued to fall from the corner of her eyes. Dos, who was examining Zhen-Zhen's vitals, couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Even in her sleep, her tears kept flowing.
"Mama!"
"Mama!"
"Wifey!"
Tristan and the twins called her upon seeing her. He was in the middle while holding Little Cassie on his right and Little Tian on his left. They were waiting for her to come over.
Standing at the back, Eva and Zu Wan were both smiling at her, opening their arms for her. They wanted to hug their daughter.
Seeing this scene, Zhen-Zhen burst out. She ran towards her parents, hugging them tightly. "Fa-Fa! Mo-Mo! I missed you both."
Zu Wan and Eva were hugging her, stroking her hair and her back. After embracing each other for a long time, Zhen-Zhen turned in Tristan's direction. She pounced on him, wrapping her arms around his body.
"Hubby, I love you! I miss you. Don't leave me."
"Of course, Wifey. I'm not going anywhere. I love you so much…" Tristan lifted her chin, covering her lips in a passionate kiss.
'If this is just a dream… I don't want to wake up anymore.' Zhen-Zhen thought to herself.
