Chapter 6 You Apologize

His grandma's eyes widened in shock; even Mei Li was shocked at how he just easily revealed such a breaking thing to his grandma. Couldn't he see how happy the old lady was when she heard he was in a relationship?

"Luis...you..." The old woman was baffled, and Luis sighed. He didn't want to lose his temper with his grandma, so it was better he left.

"I will come see you another time, grandma."

He took some steps to the door and noticed Mei Li didn't follow him. He turned and glared at her. She quickly stood up and slightly bowed at the old lady.

"Good night, ma'am."

Then she hurried and followed Luis; they both got to his car before he drove out at full speed.

He kept driving carelessly while dodging every car in his way. Mei Li held the seat tightly.

Why was he driving this way? Did he want to die? She couldn't even tell him to slow down; what if she angered him more?

But why was he angry? Because his grandma was falling for his lies and was being considerate? Mei Li thought in disbelief, Was this man even in his right senses?

She used to think her stepbrother was a very abnormal person. Guess her brother was a saint compared to this man.

Soon they arrived at the mansion, and he walked down the car, opened the door to the passenger seat, held Mei Li's hand, and pulled her out.

"Master," she shivered in fear as he dragged her inside. Now what did she do?

"Please let me go," she cried as he dragged her up the stairs. Then they walked down a corridor, then another corridor.

"Don't hurt me, please; I will do anything." She was in pain as his grip on her wrist was tight.

And the fact that she didn't know where he was bringing her was making her go crazy; this wasn't the road to the dark room.

So if he wasn't going to lock her up, then what did he want to do to her? Tears blurred her eyes as she let him drag her down different corridors.

He pushed her into a vast room; she hurt her injured hand and even cried more.

Then he dragged a robe from above and tied it around her wrist. "Please, I am sorry," she apologized for a crime she had no idea about.

Luis stared at her with a cold look. Could her apologies bring back his sister?

"Why...why do you hate me so much?" She questioned, If she was going to die soon, then she at least deserved to know why?

She knew about the slavery between the Europeans and the Africans; that was racism, so she understood. She also understood slavery between the rich and the poor. but she wasn't poor.

She wasn't; she just had to get her things back from her brother. So what did she do to this man to deserve all this treatment?

"If I ever offended you, then I am sorry. I apologize. Please." She tried untying herself, but it was impossible as he had tied it so strongly.

Luis walked to the end of the room and held the other end of the rope; he pulled it as she was lifted up to the ceiling.

"You apologize?" he snorted.

Mei Li looked down, and her gaze was stuck on the tank filled with water. Was he about to do what she thought?

"I won't kill you," he assured her; he wanted her to kill herself. That was the type of revenge he wanted for his sister-for her to commit suicide.

Then he slowly released the rope as she approached the tank of water. "Please, please," she kept screaming while trying to free herself. Then she fell into the tank of water and kept throwing her legs as she couldn't breathe and was suffocating.

Her hands were tied, and she knew it was impossible to untie them as Luis held the other end, but she still tried.

"Mother, please..." she thought as she struggled for air, then she was suddenly pulled back up as she breathed heavily and coughed out the water she had drank.

Her eyes were completely red as she tried to catch her breath, then he released the robe again, and she fell into the tank.

Just as before, she kept struggling, and when she felt she was going to die, she was pulled back upwards.

She took a look at Luis, who just stood there holding the rope; she couldn't even tell if he was mocking her. Was he excited to see her this way? Or was he feeling bad?

She tried to sniff back her tears, then a man walked into the room. It was White; he approached Luis when Luis frowned at him.

"What do you want?"

White bowed apologetically before he approached Luis and whispered,

"We just received a call; your grandma has been rushed to the hospital."

Luis's eyes widened in shock. He stared at the rope on his hand and wondered if he should just end this miserable woman's life, she was the reason his grandma got into this situation and it all started when she tried her trick of falling into his arms.

Luis left White in charge of Mei Li as he got into his car and drove to the hospital his grandma was rushed to.

He arrived at the hospital after driving for thirty minutes and spotted his right-hand man, Lee Chen. He walked to Lee with a worried look.

"Where was she admitted?"

"This way, boss," Lee directed him inside the hospital. They took the elevator upstairs as she was admitted in her usual VIP room. Her personal doctor worked at this hospital, so she was brought here every time she was ill.

They found her doctor, Doctor Yu; he was in his late fifties and has been a family doctor for many years.

Luis was about to walk past him and get into the ward when he discovered the door was locked. "Where is my grandmother?" He turned to the doctor, who had a nervous look.

"She doesn't want to see you; that was her order." Doctor Yu explained, and Luis raised a brow. So was this doctor going to stop him from seeing his grandma?

"She also said if you force in to see her, then she won't take any treatment," the doctor added, and Luis stared at Lee in disbelief. He wondered why his grandma loved these childish acts that he wasn't finding funny.

"She has her phone with her and is expecting your call," the doctor added, and he immediately dialed his grandma's contact number, and it got connected.

"Old woman, what is this act for?" he scolded angrily.

"I am on my dying bed, and all you can do is scold me," she sobbed. He heard her sob, and he massaged his temple angrily.

"Let me come in and see you," Luis said, waiting for his grandma's response.

"Come see me with Mei Li, or else go away," she blurted and hung up.

He kept his phone in his pocket. "Take care of her till she is discharged," he ordered Lee before he walked down the corridor, and Lee went after him.

"Boss, won't you try to see her?"

"No, my face isn't her medicine, so let her be," he replied, and he walked into the elevator when Lee hissed. "He is so impossible."

Seeing that Luis had left, the doctor retracted the keys from his pocket and opened the ward. He walked in and closed the door behind him. The old lady had a curious look.

"Did he leave?" she asked, and the doctor nodded.

"I don't think he will come back; your grandson is so mean," the doctor said, sitting next to her.

"He thinks he is smart; all I asked of him was a girlfriend, and he had the guts to do this. Don't bother; he will come back to see me with the girl."

The doctor was very curious. "This girl you are trying to hook him with-what if she is just one of his whores?"

The old woman shook her head in denial. She had a conversation with Mei Li while showing her around her house, and from that little conversation, she knew at once that Mei Li wasn't some whore; she was a pure soul. Just perfect for her grandson.
