Chapter 8: It's Sad But I'm Dying
After constant demand from the little princess to walk, Lu Hongxuan finally relented. As much as he doesn't want to release his daughter, he doesn't wish to see her disheartened. So he let her down. Nevertheless, his gaze never leave his princess.
He would glance at her from time to time.
Lu Xueyun went to the balcony to breath some fresh air. Her gaze were directed toward the sparkling night sky. She turned her body toward her father direction. She smiled whenever her gaze met her father's.
A sudden thought swept across her mind that make her suddenly turned gloomy. "Little Snow is sorry daddy." she uttered sadly. Tears accumulated in the corner of her. Everyone who saw the current her could see how hurt she felt.
"It's sad but Little Snow is dying."
She turned away the moment her tears fell afraid that her father would saw her crying. "Little Snow pwomise (promise) to stay with daddy till the end." she whispered lowly as she wipe away her tears while continuing to watch the night sky.
Unbeknownst to her that someone else whom had been standing nearby her heard her. The woman eyes widened as she heard her. Nevertheless she never revealed herself to the little fragile girl.
She just stood rooted in the dark behind the little girl. After a few more minutes, the little princess finally left the balcony returning to her father side. There's no sign of earlier sadness only a bright shining smiles.

A woman wearing a lab coat with transparent lab glasses were busy conducting a research. Her forehead layered with a thin sweat.
As soon as she was done with her works, she immediately pulled her mask away before sanitizing her hands and washed her face. She has a short brown hair with a sharp nose. Her eyes were extremely tantalizing paired with soft kissable lips.
Her attention were focused on the document on her hands as she read them indifferent. As if facing her sworn enemy.
After a few minutes later, her phones started ringing loudly distracting her completely. When she saw the caller ID, she picked her phone up lazily. "I won't help you court my bro.."
But before she could finished, the other party cut her out. "Your brother has a DAUGHTER?!" she screamed out loud. Lu Yunxi brows furrowed. "Everyone knows that was just a rumor." she replied nonchalantly.
"It's true!! Today I attended an event that your brother hosted and he freaking brought his daughter with him!" she shouted yet again.
Lu Yunxi turned serious. "You aren't joking are you?" she asked coldly. "How am I lying? As much as I wanted it to be fake, I can't!" she roared.
Well it can't be help I'd Lu Yunxi wasn't aware of his brother affair because they aren't living in the same house. Not even house they don't even live inside the same country!
The Lu's were all scattered around the world. Even their mother and father doesn't live under the same roof much less their brother and sister. Everyone is busy chasing their own goals.
It's still a wonder how their family were still united.
"Did he gotten married?" Lu Yunxi asked curiously. "I'm not sure but from what I heard he had her from a one night stand. To ensure there's no Lu's bastard, he took his daughter under his wings." The latter said.
"If he doesn't wish to tell anybody about it then it wasn't a big problem. So what's the fuss." she acted indifferently. Nobody knows but the Lu's is like that. They don't give a damn about each other unless necessary.
"What the hell's wrong with you Fu's?! She your fucking descendant from your Elder brother!" she shouted almost screaming.
Lu Yunxi squinted her brows tightly separating the phone away from her ears. "You knows how the fam works." she stated matter of fact.
"Then don't the fuck care! You can only care when the princess's drop dead in the near future!" she shrieked intending to end the call. Hearing the word dead, Lu Yunxi froze. "What do you mean?"
Yes, the Lu's were all separated but that's doesn't mean they didn't care about each others. And they have one in common, that is hearing the cursed D word instead of the the F word.
"Only by mentioning the D word can caught your attention huh." she exclaimed loudly sounded very annoyed. Nevertheless, she still spill the beans.
I don't know regarding this. I only heard this coming from the princess's lips. Mostly might because of your brother prevented this from circulating outside. Today I accidentally heard Little Snow mutter about being sick and dying.
And my instinct told me this will happen in a blink of an eye. Not sure what kind of disease does your niece gotten but one thing for sure is that.. there's no cure. Because when she talks she sounded so confident that she will die soon.
Hearing the latter explanation, Yunxi whole body turned numb she almost dropped her cellphone. It couldn't be that serious right? Not to mention that Jinan is right beside her brother.
Could it be that even Jinan couldn't... no.. that's impossible. She thought. But the more she denied it the scarier she felt. "I got it." she said before ending their conversation.
Lu Yunxi pressed on her cellphone and dialed a private number. After three rings, the call is connected.
"Yunxi you have five minutes. Mom have an important meeting right after this." An elderly woman voice sounded on the side. "Mom, we need to go back. All of us. Brother's daughter.. my niece.. your granddaughter is dying." she blabbered panicking.
