Later that evening, they all returned home after the fireworks display. While the rest of them were taking a fresh shower, Elizabeth went for some fresh air outside.

Whilst Elizabeth was walking down the sh.o.r.e, she noticed Jackie all by herself while drinking a gla.s.s of wine.

Elizabeth wondered why Jackie was all by herself at the same time drinking with such distress expression. "Jackie, what's wrong?"

Jackie turned around and saw Elizabeth walking towards her, she smiled seeing the big change in her life. "I'm just happy for you."

"Huh?" Elizabeth was dumbfounded to what Jackie meant. She sensed something was not right and stared coldly at her.

"Well, you've gone to so much but now I know you'll be fine." Jackie stated as she took a sip of wine, "Liz, don't be hard-headed. Just because you're a genius with an IQ of over 200+ doesn't mean you understand everything in life Liz." Jackie sighed as she looked upsetly at the girl. "I just want you to be happy but in doing that you need to let go."

"Jackie I'm fine…" Elizabeth comforted Jackie by taking a sip of the wine.

Jackie smiled bitterly inside as she watched the girl continue to hide all the pain of the past within her. Even though she kept saying and smiling she fine, she knows deep inside she wasn't.

Both girls returned together which startled the boys as to why they sense such coldness between them. They wonder what happened between them...

The moon was at its peak and the wind was strong and cold. Elizabeth could not sleep a wink and decided to take a stroll. She was all alone by the seash.o.r.e as she listened to the sound of the waves cras.h.i.+ng along the sh.o.r.eline. As tears fell on her face, she clenched her heart as the pain of the past reminisce in her heart.

'Why… Why does it still hurt so much?'

Elizabeth grab the sand and clenched it in her hands as she started punching it. She cried as her mind thought of the words Jackie mentioned to her earlier.

'I-I can't do this anymore…'

'It hurt so much…'

Out of nowhere, a blanket lander on Elizabeth's back.

Elizabeth was startled when she felt the blanket landed on her, she turned around to see who could it be?

When Elizabeth saw the man standing behind her, she quickly got up and wipe the tears in her eyes. "President Feng…"

Feng Xiaotong went closer to the girl and wrapped the blanket around her. "It's cold tonight you better keep yourself warm and avoid getting sick.

Elizabeth tried her best to stay calm but her heart was bursting from all the pain and the tears in her eyes were out of control. "I-I…"

"You know, I'll be honest…" Feng Xiaotong went closer to the girl as he looked at her directly in the eyes. "I like you a lot… But I know someone else can make you happy. I know you'll be happy with him too. But in order for that to happen, you need to take a leap of fate and let go of all the burdens of the past and see through the light."

Elizabeth was unsure of what Feng Xiaotong was trying to say. She was surprised by his sudden confession at the same time declaration of hope for her.

"Li Zi, you're a great person and I know a lot of people will love you. You know… " He sighed and added, "To know if someone loves you and to know if what you feel for that person is true love. You need to be brave and face it. At the same time, one must not dwell in the past." Feng Xiaotong took a deep breath as he realized how stupid he is right now. He wonders why she looked so gloomy and decided to follow her. It surprised him to see her suddenly on her knees and crying.

"Li Zi, I know I'm your boss but I am your friend as well. Sometimes you need to share the pain and seek help. If not from me then tell Jackie… She is your friend and I know she is so worried for you."

Elizabeth did not hold back as she drives into the man's embrace. "I'm sorry…"

Feng Xiaotong patted the girl on the back to comfort her. "Silly girl, what are you sorry for."

Elizabeth continues to cry and vent out all the sorrow inside. "I just… I don't want to feel the same pain again."

Feng Xiaotong realizes the girl must be worried about her feelings for Yun Shen and the fact she must have been betrayed in the past. Even though Jackie did not mention it to them earlier, they already sense and realize what she meant. "Li Zi, you know… Sometimes, one must face the truth in order to know the truth. If you wish to end the pain, it's best to confront it and face it yourself. Who knows… You might get what you wish for."

Elizabeth nodded her head as she continues to bury her face in Feng Xiaotong's chest.

From a distance, a man was watching the scene develop from behind. His heart ached as he saw the girl in another man's embrace.

"Don't be jealous… He's just comforting her." Jackie said as she senses the hostile aura the man was immiting.

Yun Shen did not turn around to face Jackie and continue to watch the girl in front of him. "Tell me, what happened to her?"

Jackie stood next to Yun Shen as she watched Elizabeth who was being comforted by Feng Xiaotong. She was in a dilemma in whether to reveal everything to Yun Shen or not. "Young Master Yun, I mean Shen, all I can say is that she has more secrets than you. But I wonder if whether you can accept those secrets. If you can accept her past as well…"

Yun Shen was in deep thought of what Jackie said, he wonders what secret the girl could be hiding from him and what happened to her in the past. "The more I see her and the more I get to know her…" Yun Shen paused for a moment as he slightly raised his lips as if he was about to smile. "The more I realize I love her no matter who she is."

Jackie smiled as he patted Yun Shen on the shoulder and turned around to head back inside the house. But before she took another step, she said, "Then she deserves you…"
