Chapter 896 - Sadness
Kitahara Aki and Yu Shi instantly turned their heads towards the source of the sound. When Yu Shi saw the person who had just spoken, her face turned worried.
'Did she overhear your conversation just now?'
Yu Shi didn't expect that her disciple would be near her.
Previously, she thought Crystal was in Crystal's room with Xiao Tian, but she was wrong. "Crystal, what are you doing here?"
Yu Shi still behaved normally because she still didn't know whether Crystal overheard their conversation or not.
"Child, why are you not with your boyfriend?" Kitahara Aki inquired,
Instead of answering, Crystal inquired, "Answer me, is it true that you are sick?"
Previously, Crystal left her room because she wanted to talk with her master. She wanted to try to change her master's mind.
She did not expect that she would hear something shocking. But what saddened her the most was that it was not good news; instead, it was the opposite.
Yu Shi could only sigh.
'So, she heard everything, huh?'
From Crystal's expression and behavior, Yu Shi was sure that Crystal had heard her conversation with Kitahara Aki earlier.
Because Yu Shi didn't say anything, Crystal asked again, "Why didn't you say something? Is the reason why you want me to be Xiao Tian's wife because you are sick? And is it true that you won't have long to live? Tell me!"
Tears fell down Crystal's soft cheeks. Yu Shi was her only family, so the thought of her losing Yu Shi made her sink into sadness.
Her parents had passed away when she was little, and now Yu Shi was about to leave her forever too. Yu Shi was the reason why she could live until now, so she did not want Yu Shi to die.
She had no idea what would happen to her if Yu Shi died because Yu Shi was the only light in her life.
Yu Shi made Crystal sit next to her and wiped off Crystal's tears. "Crystal, I won't lie to you anymore. It's true that I'm sick now. I have serious internal injuries since a few years ago."
"Why didn't you tell me about this? Why did you hide it from me? Am I not important to you?" Crystal could not control her emotions, and as a result, tears kept falling down her cheeks.
"Child, it's not like she wants to hide everything from you. It's because she doesn't want to make you sad." Of course, Kitahara Aki understood Crystal's feelings.
She was sure anyone would behave like Crystal if they knew the most important person in their life was about to pass away.
"Crystal, stop crying." Yu Shi spoke softly. "I have tried to cure my injuries, but no one can do that. It's fate, and we can't change it."
Crystal was also important for Yu Shi, so she felt sad when she saw Crystal crying like that. This was the reason why she tried to hide everything from Crystal because she didn't want to make Crystal sad or cry.
"Is there really no one who can heal your injuries?" Crystal inquired
"Yes." Yu Shi replied as she nodded her head. "All the doctors I met said they could not cure my injuries."
Yu Shi had met more than twenty doctors in the past few years, but none of them could heal her injuries. That was why she would let fate decide everything.
"So the reason why you want me to be Xiao Tian's wife is that you don't want me to be alone after you die, right?" Crystal finally understood everything.
"Yes." this time, Yu Shi gave an honest answer, not lying like before. "I also hope you can give me a grandson or granddaughter before I die."
There were only two things that Yu Shi wanted now. First, she wanted Crystal to be happy, and second, she desired to have a grandson or granddaughter.
She was already old, so she wanted to resign from being an assassin and spend her time with her grandson or granddaughter.
That was why she wanted Crystal to have sex with Xiao Tian because he was the best candidate to be Crystal's husband.
Sure, Xiao Tian had a lot of women, but she didn't mind it. As long as Xiao Tian could make Crystal happy and give her a grandson or granddaughter, she would not care about anything else.
Crystal bit her lower lip, and complicated feelings suddenly arose within her. She did not want to have sex with Xiao Tian for now, but at the same time, she was afraid that it would be Yu Shi's last wish before she died.
Of course, Crystal didn't want Yu Shi to die because Yu Shi was everything for her. For this reason, Crystal rose to her feet and left.
Yu Shi raised her right arm forwards and spoke, "Crystal…."
"Yu Shi, don't stop her. She needs some alone time now." Kitahara Aki uttered,
Yu Shi could only sigh. She knew that Crystal's mind was in a mess now. She just hoped nothing bad would happen to Crystal later.
Crystal was walking aimlessly. She was thinking about everything, from Yu Shi's wishes to how to find a doctor who could heal Yu Shi's injuries.
She then sat on the wooden bench and stared at the sky. Like before, her face was still clouded with sadness.
She continued to sit on the wooden bench for hours without any sign of moving as if she were a statue.
-----
Under the moonlight, a young was enjoying himself in the hot spring. The hot spring was not big, but it was quite long.
On the right side of the young man, two wooden pool lounge chairs were placed next to each other, while the bathroom was located on his left side.
Even though it was an outdoor hot spring, he was not afraid that someone would peek at him because a three-meter-high bamboo wall surrounded the hot spring.
The smile on the young man's face grew bigger when he saw the beautiful moon in the sky. Yes. That young man was none other than Xiao Tian.
'Where did Crystal go?'
It had been more than three hours since she left, but she still had not returned until now.
He thought they would discuss their plan again, but he did not expect her to leave like that. Not only that, there was not even any sign of Yu Shi planning to do something to him.
'Well, forget it. It's better to enjoy this beautiful night.'
It had been a long time since he last came to the hot springs, so he wanted to enjoy himself.
After several minutes, Xiao Tian left the hot spring. He didn't want to soak in the hot springs for a long time because it would make him dizzy later.
After putting on his clothes, Xiao Tian sat on the chair in the main room.
*Szzz…
The sound of someone opening the sliding door could be heard in his ears.
Xiao Tian instantly turned his head towards the source of the sound. When he saw the person who had just opened the door, he smiled and spoke, "Oh, you have arrived?"
Crystal, who was standing in front of him, suddenly did something unexpected. Something he had never thought of before.
