Chapter 1741 Illegal Detention (Part Two)


    "Mr. Xia. Here is the ice pack you asked for. Is this okay?" William walked in the office without even


    knocking on the door, because he was in a hurry. Rain had instructed him to bring it as soon as


    possible.


    "Yes, that''s just all right. Hand it over to Tiana," Rain said, nodding his head to Tiana. He thought it was


    really a good idea to take William with him to CY Technology. He was such a good employee who did


    everything that was asked of him to do, efficiently, perfectly and quickly. His job was impable.


    "Here you are, Miss Ke." William handed the ice pack to Tiana without saying anything else. Though he


    was curious why her face was all red and swollen, he didn''t say anything about it. After all, it was none


    of his business. He was not the big boss of CY Technology, and he understood his ce, knowing


    when he should keep his mouth shut.


    "Thank you, William." Tiana took the ice pack from William''s hand. She couldn''t help but lower her


    head, feeling quite embarrassed that he had to see her like this.


    "You are wee. I should go back to work now. If you need anything, just call me, Mr. Xia," William


    made a slight bow and said to Rain in a polite tone.


    "Go ahead." Rain waved his hand, gesturing for him to continue his work. But all of a sudden, he called


    after William, making him stop in his tracks and look back at him with confused eyes. "Wait. Please find


    me some ointment for her cheek too. Thank you, William."


    "No problem, Mr. Xia." Though William answered in an obedient tone, he was getting more and more


    confused inside. He had thought that Rain didn''t like Tiana and wasn''t in good terms with her. But why


    was he being so nice to her all of a sudden today? He couldn''t understand, but it was not in his position


    to question it and even say it out loud. He just had to do what Rain told him to do and ask no questions.


    Of course, Rain couldn''t know what William was thinking about. He just stared at Tiana, who was


    carefully dabbing the ice pack on her swollen face while grimacing because of the pain. He didn''t know


    how to feel about her anymore. One moment she was just his half-sister whom he thought was all right


    but didn''t like. And now, she was the same half-sister who defended him in front of the family who had


    raised her for over twenty years.


    "Okay, now, go to the bathroom to see your face. Only when you see how swollen your face is will you

    take it more seriously," Rainmanded in a serious tone. He saw that Tiana didn''t dare to put the ice


    pack fully on her face because it hurt so bad. But it wouldn''t do much good to her swollen cheek. She


    should know how serious her wound was so she could treat it more seriously.


    "Okay." Tiana nodded, standing up from where she was sitting. Then she walked to the bathroom within


    the office with the ice pack in her hand.


    Once she walked into the bathroom, she immediately looked at herself through the mirror. As soon as


    she saw her own reflection, her jaw dropped inplete shock. The sight frightened her because she


    didn''t expect that the wounds and bruises on her face were that bad. She almost couldn''t recognize


    herself. Then a bolt of pain suddenly hit her because she opened her mouth too wide. Who could


    me her if she was that surprised to see such damage to her face?


    She couldn''t help but feel bitter about it. Never in her worst nightmares did she imagine that her own


    mother would be the one to attack her like this. As soon as this thought crossed her mind, her eyes


    were filled with tears again. Tears kept streaming down her cheeks, making the wounds sting and hurt


    even more.


    Deep in her heart, she knew that she couldn''t hide forever. It was not a good idea to run away from her


    problems, and she could not solve them by doing this. She was extremely lucky to have gotten away,


    but it didn''t mean that she could always be this lucky. She just had to face the real problem and find a


    solution to it.


    Pretty soon, William walked back into the office with the ointment Rain had asked for. Rain gestured for


    him to put the ointment on the desk and leave. Now, there was only Rain in the office waiting for Tiana,


    who was still in the bathroom checking out her face.


    But after a long time, she still hadn''t gotten out, and it worried Rain a bit. He got up from his chair and


    walked to the bathroom. He stood outside the door and gently knocked twice. "Tiana, are you all right?"


    "Um. Yeah. I will be out in a minute." Upon hearing Rain''s voice, Tiana knew that she must have been


    in the bathroom for too long. She immediately turned on the tap and quickly washed her face. She tried


    her best to keep calm and lookedposed before walking out of the bathroom. Her eyes were still a


    bit red, though.


    "Were you crying in there?" Rain couldn''t help but nce at her twice. He noticed that her eyes were


    redder than before. She must have indeed cried.


    "Of course not! It''s just that my face hurts really bad that I really can''t stand it," Tiana answered in a


    fake joyful sound, and she avoided looking Rain''s eyes the whole time. She didn''t want to admit that


    she did cry in the bathroom like a little baby who couldn''t handle her own issues. The truth was, she felt


    so lost, which was worse than the pain on her face. She was like a kid who suddenly lost everything


    she had and became homeless. But Rain saw through her. She was really a bad liar.


    "Here. This is the ointment that I asked William to get for you. It''s good for your face. Try putting some


    on," Rain said while handing the ointment to her. He could easily see through her lie, but he didn''t want


    to make a big deal out of it and embarrass her. He could understand how hard it must be for her to be


    treated like this by her own mother. He knew that she must feel betrayed and very disappointed. But he


    didn''t know how tofort her and he wasn''t sure if he should. So he just kept his mouth shut and


    pretended to believe that she was telling the truth.


    "Thank you." Tiana was really touched by his actions. He could have done nothing to help her and he


    did not have the obligation to do so. But he still tried to help despite the feud between him and her


    family. She almost cried again because of this. But she just tried her best to contain her emotions and


    calm herself down. She didn''t want Rain to see her cry any more. It just made her look weak and


    useless. So she just turned around and walked back into the bathroom with the ointment that Rain


    gave her.
