"Keep quiet." When I was scared, I heard Ming!

He and I hid at the door.

I heard a rush of footsteps outside!

He seemed to stop by the elevator.

"June!"

"June!"

I heard Sean calling out my name.

At that moment, my heart hurt like being cut by a knife.

I had pain in breathing.

"June, where are you! Come out! I see you!"

"June!"

There were not many people here at night. In the quiet corridor, I thought he was going to cry.

Was he crying?

Was he crying for me?

My heart hurt.

If Ming didn't pull me from behind, I was afraid I would really rush out!

"Calm down." I heard Ming's gentle voice.

Then I heard the high-heeled shoes knocking on the floor tiles in the corridor.

I heard Cindy's voice, "what's the matter, honey?"

This name made my heart ache.

I called him that many years ago.

No, I called later, but he was disgusted.

After a while I heard Sean's voice, "I'm fine."

"Did you see Miss Carter again? This is the fourth time." Cindy sighed, "the forensic results have come out. That body is Miss Carter's, and she can't be reborn after death. Although she died because she attended our wedding, you have to continue to live."

"Well, I know."

Sean's voice was a little hoarse.

I heard him and Cindy leaving and I was frustrated.

When Ming lets me go, I realized that I had tears on my face.

Ming took a white handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped my tears. Then he held me in his arms.

He patted me on the back. "If you want to cry, cry. Everything will pass."

"I'm sorry. I didn't cry before."

I put my head in his arms and tried to control my emotions.

I didn't cry before.

"That's because you couldn't rely on anyone before. In front of me, you don't have to worry about showing your vulnerable side, because I will always protect you. Of course, if you want to fly, I will try my best to give you enough sky."

Ming's voice came from above.

It was warm and firm.

It seemed to give me wings and dependence.

It was a really good feeling.

I put myself in his arms and no longer bounded my feelings.

-

The next morning, Ming took me to Sherry's grave.

He bought me a bunch of flowers.

I took the flowers to Sherry's grave.

This was the first time I had been here since Sherry died.

I knelt in front of the tomb and looked at the picture of Sherry on the tombstone. I felt sad, "Grandma, I come to see you. I will learn from Master later. I may not be able to see you for a long time.

But the next time I come here, I will be a excellent person. I will be your pride."

After I finished, Ming said, "Grandma Carter, I will take care of June for you. You can rest assured. I won't let her get hurt in the future."

When he finished, I looked up at him and wondered.

He looked at me and asked, "what's the matter?"

"You say that in front of my grandma as if you are going to marry me."

I said it casually.

Ming said without hesitation, "if you don't mind that I'm older than you, I don't mind."

I was stunned.

I said quickly, "I don't. I don't deserve you."

I had another man's baby in my stomach. How could I deserve a man like Ming?

"I have the final say if you deserve me."

Ming laughed.

Actually, I didn't know what Ming thought.

Did he like me?

I really didn't think I had any advantages to make him like me.

And I was pregnant. I was not qualified to be with him.

-

After that day, I stayed in the hotel for a few days. Ming drove me back to the Carson City.

Murray picked me up to his studio called In Sceaux near the Carson City.

This studio was actually a big house. We worked and lived here.

I became his apprentice from that day on.

I stayed there for five years.

I had changed a lot in these five years.

I learned from Murray for five years. I was not an expert but I was definitely a skilled designer.

I was good at designing gardens and interior decoration and geomancy.

At the same time, I set up my own studio. Its name was nirvana.

Ming contacted a plastic surgeon for me. After several years of treatment and recovery, the injury on my face almost completely recovered.

But there was a little bit of skin on my left face that was a little lighter.

If I made up, it couldn't be seen.

Murray made me a passport and set up a complete file for me.

My alias was Becky Jones.

My parents died in an air crash.

I went back to America with him and studied design.

The old June was dead. Now Becky was alive.

My son was four years old.

I named him Lester.

Lester looked like me, but his character was not like mine.

He had a lot of bad ideas and his mischief bothered me.

Besides us, there was Ming.

Though Ming still worked in York, he often came to the Carson City for business.

He lived in Sceaux for a few days and accompanied Lester and me.

-

My studio, Nirvana, had grown rapidly in the last year or two.

In recent months, a large private club project in York had been communicating with me.

This project bothered me a lot.

I didn't want to go to York.

I was afraid to meet Sean.

One day Murray and I talked about the project in my studio.

Murray said, "I suggest you go to York. Jonas told me that this project is very rare. This place is south of York. Although it's a bit remote, designing such a large house is a test of the designer's ability. If you can succeed, you get the progress that other small projects can't give you."

"But..."

At the thought of York and that man, I didn't even have the courage to go.

"Are you going to run away for life?" Murray looked at me and sighed, "it's been five years. I haven't forced you in these five years, but this opportunity is really rare. How long do you want to escape?"
