Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 180 Never let go

　　Liam scrunched his face as he stared at his phone.  He couldn’t help but get worried about Ying Sheng. 

’Was she okay?’ He knew her relationship with her parents was not the best. He was afraid they

would tigger her and make her sink deep in a void of no return.

Liam paced back and forth contemplating if he should call her. Heaving a sigh, he dialed her number.

Ying Sheng sat on the floor rocking her body as she tried to stop the voices in her head. Suddenly the sound of her phone ringing snapped her out of her thoughts.

Ying Sheng looked at the caller ID and saw it was her father. She glared at the phone screen as the harsh sound of her ringing tone kept sounding.

”Shut up!”  She yelled at the phone but the phone kept ringing. 

Annoyed, she threw the phone at the wall. Suddenly the harsh sound stopped and everything became quiet leaving her alone to fall in her abyss.

”Sorry the number you’re currently calling can not be reached.”

The robotic voice sounded. Liam’s heart skipped a beat as dread gnawed at his inside.

He ran his hand through his hair. Suddenly a light bulb went off his head. Since Ying Sheng took his car, he can track his car and find out where she is.

Fortunately he had an extra car. Picking his car keys he rushed out of his house.

Half an hour later, he stopped in front of the place his GPS had shown. Liam frowned when he saw it was a bar. 

Did her father want to meet her at a club? Liam got down from the car and entered the high class bar. Because it was still early the place wasn’t packed yet.

”Hey, have you seen a red haired woman in black leather jacket and black jeans?” 

Liam asked the bartender who was busily mixing drinks.

The bartender glanced at Liam and narrowed his eyes. 

”At the rooftop. You would want to hurry because she looked pretty messed up.”

Liam’s heart hammered in his chest as he rushed to the rooftop.

He stopped in his tracks when he saw the scene in front of him.

”Y-ying Sheng…..” Liam’s voice cracked as fear gripped his whole body. Panic run along his spine and he felt the air leaving his lungs.

”Ying Sheng…..what are you doing?”

Ying Sheng was far gone to hear anything happening around her. She was standing at the edge of the rooftop with her eyes closed. Her hands were held in front of her, palms facing the sky. The wind brew her red hair as loneliness groomed her back.

She looked so desolate and lonely as if the world has abandoned her.

 Ying Sheng’s mind was foggy, depressed and hopeless. She opened her eyes and peered down from above as the street cars moved along the road in a speed.

The world continued as it was, not pausing for a moment to give the sad lonly girl  a reasuring look that everything is going to be okay.

The pain hit her in a fresh wave,leaving a numbing ache in her heart.  Maybe this is it.

All these years she has been fighting a battle and now she was tired.  What’s the point of living an unhappy life where no one wants you? Ying Sheng chuckled dryly as tears flood down her cheeks. 

This is it, she guess. 

Freedom.

Just as she was about to jump, she heard a voice. A voice full of fear and panic. It’s like the person really cared about her. She tumbled over her feet.

”Ying Sheng…. don’t do it. Please….”

Ying Sheng turned her head and glanced at the person.

Was it tears?

Why was he crying?

Did someone really cared?

Seeing her in a daze, Liam cautiously walked towards her.

”Give me your hands. You promised not to fight this alone. We are supposed to fight the war alone. You’re not alone anymore. Please……just give me your hands.” Liam said softly as his heart raced in his chest. He has never been this afraid in his life.

Ying Sheng glanced at his stretched hand and tilted her head.

’Can I trust him?

 I’m I not alone anymore?

Can he help me?

No-no the real question is, do I want to wake up in this depressed world again?’

”Remember you want to open a bakery shop, which would brighten people’s day. Don’t you want to put a smile on a kid’s face? Don’t you want someone to say, I’m happy because I ate Miss Ying’s special recipe? At least, this should be enough for you to keep living. Think about those who loves you….”

Liam sucked in a harsh breath.

”Your cousin, Lei Zhao……are you going to leave him? He…he…. Do you want him to live with guilt the rest of his life? Because I’m sure he would blame himself for losing you.”

Liam was beginning to panic. He has never said so many things in one breath before.

”I-Do you want to leave me?” Liam mumbled as his eyes flickered with an intense emotion.

Ying Sheng gazed into Liam’s eyes and her lips curved into a sad, wistful smile.

”But….I don’t want to hurt anymore. My heart—it hurts so badly. I ….want it to stop.”

Ying Sheng’s voice cracked with so much vulnerability that nearly suffocated Liam.

”Yes….we will make it stop. Just give me your hands first.”

”If I give you my hands…..Do you promise to never let go?”

Ying Sheng asked searching Liam’s eyes for anything, something that can help her because she was so sick of being lonely.

”Yes….never let go of you. I promise.”. Liam said as his lips curved into a soft smile.

Ying Sheng’s mirrored his smile and gave him his hands.

Liam let go of the breath he didn’t know he was holding as he pulled her into his arms.

Feeling her body in his arms and the sobs escaping from her lips made him aware all of this is real.

If he was a minute late……
