The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 23

The memories of childhood that entered her mind confused her especially with the part of having two different fathers. She couldn't remember their faces but only their figures. One was brunette like her brother and one was blond-haired. She was able to recall the name of one of those men tho. Xia Sinian. He was supposed to be her father but based on her memories, he was also not. Instead, her real father was the blond-haired man.
Si Hongqi… Han Xukun… and what was her brother's name? Qinqing…?
Bai Jingye noticed that the woman on the bed was looking like she was in a deep thought. Could it be that… she remembered something? He won't know if remained quiet so he decided to ask, "does it ring a bell?"
She slowly turned her gaze to him. She was staring at him in disbelief when she realized that… she was indeed a member of the Lu family. He was correct. Her name was Lu Mengjie.
The look in her eyes gave the answers away. Bai Jingye straightened his back and clenched his fists, "no wonder Bai Keran wanted to hide you. You're Lu Xian Yu's daughter. Just as I thought, he wanted to use you against your own father. He wanted to brainwash you."
"Shouldn't we give my family a call to warn them about this?" Concern and yet a mixture of puzzlement in her voice.
"No," he quickly retorted. "Bai Keran will know. It will only put you and everyone close to you in danger. Besides, you're pregnant. You still don't have all of your memories. We need to stay low right now."
They need to deceive everyone.
Now that she thought about it, he was correct. Just because she gained a few memories from her childhood shouldn't mean that she should reach out to them. She still has to remember so many things.

What if her relationship with her family was not good? She still has to find out who the father of her child was. Was she married? Or not? If she was not, then wouldn't she be just making more trouble? Her family might end up disowning her. She would only make things harder for herself if she made a move now. She needed to have the rest of her memories back, memories of what happened before the accident, not memories of her childhood.
"Alright…" she sighed in defeat. She didn't have a choice but to do what he said. Right now, the only people she could trust were Bai Jingye and Tian Ruyi.
"You should get some rest after you eat. Your body needs it. Your child needs it."
…
Ever since the day that Lu Mengjie was discharged from the hospital, just as planned, she moved into Bai Jingye's room. As usual, he was always busy with work but this time, he would always come home at the end of the day just to take care of her. He would join her for breakfast and dinner. Tian Ruyi stopped visiting as well.
Despite staying in the same room, at night, they never shared the bed. Bai Jingye was surprisingly a gentleman, he would always sleep on the couch just to make it comfortable for her. It was as if he turned into a different person. The way he treated her was the same as how he treated Tian Ruyi, like a friend.
One night, after dinner, Bai Jingye called his grandfather. Lu Mengjie was on the bed, holding a book that she would usually read to pass time. She looked at him when he made the call and quietly listened to their conversation since the call was on speaker.

"Yes, I think it will help her move on faster if I bring her around the country," said Bai Jingye. He was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. "She lost her child. She needs distraction."
That was the plan. Her baby bump was growing and if she stayed any longer in the place, it would only be a matter of time before her 'fake miscarriage' would be found by Bai Keran's men.
"Show her around huh? Where are you going to take her?" The old man's curious voice was heard on the other line.
"Tokyo then maybe bringing her to Switzerland after…" Bai Jingye replied.
"Switzerland?" Surprise was evident from the elder's voice.
"Yes. I found out that she loves sweets, especially chocolates. I overheard her talking with a maid earlier that she has always wanted to go to Switzerland. It's well-known for its chocolates. It will be easier for her to move on."
Bai Keran became quiet on the other side as if he was thinking about it. Seconds ticked until his answer was finally heard, "alright. You can go directly to Switzerland instead of taking her to Tokyo. It's better if you can keep her in one place as much as possible."
Lu Mengjie rolled her eyes upon hearing what he said. She knew that he was trying his best to hide her; that was why she wasn't allowed to go outside… well, it's not like she tried in the first place, after all, she has a part to play: a depressed woman who 'lost' her child.
After the call ended, Bai Jingye placed his phone on the side before looking at her, "are you sure that Switzerland is the place?"
"Yes. It's the first place that entered my mind." Who knew the place might actually be a part of her past?
She didn't know why it was the first country that entered her mind when she was trying to think of a place on where to give birth to her child safely. For some reason, she felt something pulling her there. Whatever was it, she was going to find out about it soon.

Seems pointless right? Trying to outrun a wolf. Well you would be correct in thinking that. It was pointless, it wasn't long before I was pulled back into a warm hard chest. The smell so intoxicating making me feel weak. "Why run mi amor" his voice is low and husky.
