Chapter 415 - 8.15 Crying Woman
As it turned out, before Lu Yizhou could defend his own innocence and get himself out of this unforeseen situation, Ailín piped in, his face somber. "Wait."
Olivia turned her murderous gaze to him, so agitated that she almost shook Ji Yan back and forth to emphasize her point. "What do you mean by ’wait’?! It can’t be anyone but her! Can’t you see that Ji Yan was attacked right after he touched her?!"
"I am not talking about that," Ailín let out a sigh, exasperated. Under Olivia’s demanding tone, he maintained his composure as if the one he was facing was a child. "Can’t you feel the sudden change in the air, Miss?"
Olivia was ready to snap again but as soon as she registered the meaning behind Ailín’s words, she instantly clicked her jaws shut, her eyes widening in fear. Heavy silence reigned in the room. Without anyone talking, they began to hear... the faint sobs of a woman. That’s right, there was a woman crying and the sound was coming from the bathroom!
The matter of Lu Yizhou’s identity forgotten, everyone’s eyes abruptly shifted to the closed bathroom door with dawning horror. As if the woman inside knew that she had successfully drawn everyone’s attention, her cries grew louder and louder, almost wailing, sounding especially weak and pitiful.
"Who..." Olivia’s voice was no more than a whisper as she clutched Ji Yan’s arm in a bruising grip. "Who’s that?"
Nobody moved. They didn’t even dare to breathe.
"I didn’t..." The woman began to sing amidst her whimpers. Her voice was sonorous yet fragile, and when it travelled to everyone’s ears, it was as if she was whispering it right beside them! "I didn’t harm her... She lied to you. She loved you but I loved you more... Why did you trust her but not me... It hurts... Oh it hurts so much..."
Everyone flinched in shock when Lu Yizhou suddenly stood up.
A strangled cry escaped Olivia’s lips. She lost the strength on her knees and plopped down on the couch beside Ji Yan, whose complexion was whiter than paper. On the other hand, Diana stuck herself firmly to the wall, unmoving. Even Ailín, who never showed fear up until now, staggered as he tried to distance himself from Lu Yizhou. "W–What do you want?"
Lu Yizhou replied flatly, "Check out who’s crying."
