Two days later, the rain finally goes away, the sun travels back to town. Wendy comes to work in the morning, Zhuge seems quite sorrow, “Wendy, let’s go to Sung. He doesn’t look well…” Wendy feels anxious while she pretends to calm, “Well, the majesty remains sickness?”
“No, he’s wounds are fine now. It’s his legs… He can’t move again.” Zhuge replies with big concern. Wendy knew this would happen, “Let’s go!” She says. The weather is pretty good today, the fresh cool air blows onto Wendy’s face, like a soft mother’s kiss. The sky is crystal clear like children’s eyes. They walk into Sung’s room together. Sung sits on his fauteuil chair, looking sulking. He didn’t shave for several days, you may see from his long thick beard.
“Welcome, Doctor.” He nods to Wendy for greeting.
“Your Majesty!” Wendy nods back with a bow. “Come here, can you help me with my legs?” He orders with annoying. Wendy walks closer to him, smelling his natural scent from his body, feeling like a family. She recalled how they hugged and kissed each other that day, when she brought him the wheelchair in this room. She’s almost crying at that moment. She bends down fast to hide her face, then pulls his pants up, “My god, that’s terrible!!” Wendy’s chocked. His legs now look dark and scary. Different types of wounds everywhere, on his legs. “Did these wounds, from the battles? Your majesty?” She asks with her weeping voice.
“No, I made it.” Sung replies quietly, “I killed my favor woman all because of these useless legs!”
“Clap!” Wendy slaps him all of a sudden, her gesture scares Sung and Zhuge! She couldn’t help this time. All her waves of angers and sorrows were exploded from the moment she saw his legs, and knew he punished himself! Sung looks up at once, with his angry face, a few seconds later, he seems serious. He watches Wendy’s eyes, those eyes are full of tears. Meantime, she wants to slap him and kick his little brother, to express how mad she is! While, she controls herself, and runs out. She passes Zhuge, who’s freezing there near the door. “Exactly! That’s how he felt that time, when he knew I hurt myself! I am a selfish woman!” Wendy understands Sung immediately. She understands everything!
Sung stands up and strides out, slowly, he can’t move too fast. At last, he catches her, he grabs her hands and looks into her eyes, “What’s your name?” Wendy turns her face to another side, keeping crying. She can’t say anything, she can’t! Then she sees the sharp leaves nearby, as Sung’s wounded legs. “What’s your name?? Please tell me…” He wipes her tears and asks again.
“My, my name is…” Wendy looks back to him, her whole body is shaking, she looks into his eyes with helpless, “My name is Wendy.” Sung’s mind is totally blanked! He seems to hear a big thundering crossing from the sky above. An image shows in his mind, “My name is Wendy.” Old Wendy said with her lovely smile, that’s the most beautiful smile in this world!
“Wendy?? Wendy or Wendy??” Sung can’t help repeating like an idiot. He feels both happiness and frightened at the same time. He wants to seize this happiness, while he’s afraid she would run away. Unexpected, he takes a knife out from his waist, then pierces into his leg! The red blood dyes his white pants to pink. Wendy’s shocked and steps away automatically.
“He used to punish himself, when he feels pain inside.” Zhuge speaks from afar.
Wendy shakes her head, constantly, “No, no, I’m not Wendy, I’m not!” She faints to the ground, some blood runs out of her mouth. “Damn!” Sung runs to her fast, he feels the same scared as three years ago. He wants to die with her this time, so he moves his knife towards his chest! “Ahhhh!” Though Wendy faints, she can feel what’s happening right now, her mind is clear.
“Princess, Princess…” Wendy feels like someone carrying her back to her old palace, she feels like walking on the green soft grassland with Sung. Then she sees Sung piercing himself onto his chest, again and again! The blood spreads on her face like waterfall. Then it dyes the green grass to red! Sung laughs and comes to her, with that knife… “Wendy, let’s go together!!” Sung opens his bloody mouth and puts a face of terror. “Ahhhh!!” Wendy yells.
“Princess, my dear Princess!” Chen yells near her bed, when Wendy wakes up. During that moment, Daisy and Chen were there in the yard as well. So they all knew she is the real Wendy now! Daisy and Chen stare at her, crying, they are too happy today! “How’s the majesty?!” Wendy sits up and asks.
Chen says with happiness, “He is fine, my dear Princess. The doctor said he’s safe now.” Wendy goes down and puts her shoes on. “I will go to see him…” Chen stops her, feeling grateful, “My Princess, no rush. Do you know how happy we are to get you back?? Three years, I cry every single day, sometimes I feel I will get blind.” Daisy comes forward as well, “My Princess, I don’t care you are a ghost or something, I’m happy you are back!” Wendy cries too, she hugs them, comforting, “You guys don’t cry please, you should be happy I’m back!” Chen and Daisy want to ask more, while Wendy speaks, “I will explain to you guys later about my story. I must go see Sung right now!”
“Ok, I will go with you, Princess.” Chen nods.
Wendy smiles, “And please don’t call me Princess, not everyone knows I’m back. They will be scared.” Chen nods, “Then, Miss, Miss Wendy.”
Wendy walks out fast, she can’t wait Chen and Daisy. She can’t wait anything. After a few minutes, she reaches to Sung. About what happened today, Zhuge orders everyone not to tell. Seeing Wendy comes, Zhuge nods, “Here you come. How do you feel?” Wendy looks to Sung, “How’s him?” Zhuge says quietly, “He will be fine, as always…”
Wendy feels a little awkward to face to Zhuge, after he knows everything, “So, how about you all these years?” She sits near him and asks. Zhuge says with sneer, “How am I?? We feel like dying with you, the time you left us. So we are fine, like heartless walking dead.” Wendy feels bad for them now, “I, I didn’t think he would hurt himself like that after I passed away.” Zhuge gets pissed immediately, “You shouldn’t sacrifice yourself to save him! Do you know how painful we are?”
Wendy keeps quiet for a few seconds, then speaks seriously, “Listen, I understand how you guys feel that time now. If I didn’t save him, I would die anyway. My body wouldn’t fit Yasmin’s body that time, so I would die slowly. That’s why I thought I should do something for Sung, before this happened.”
