Eternal Love: A Love Story-Chapter 713 - Youre Not Zhao Ming?

Zhao Ming sat there in shock after hearing Shen Jia's words. She was glad that she managed to escape that place and came back to life because if she had gone into Tan Xiu's body mistakenly, the cycle of the curse would have repeated itself.

Shen Jia saw Zhao Ming who was trying to accept this fact and picked up the cup in front of her with her shaky hands to take a sip when she heard Shen Jia's voice, " Zhao Ming….there is something that you should know. When you were unconscious, a lot of things happened. And out of them, you must know about this one."

Zhao Ming paused in her actions and stared at Shen Jia, waiting for her to continue.

Shen Jia pursed her lips and took a deep breath before saying, " I think it's time that you should tell Ji Cheng about everything."

"...."

Zhao Ming froze in her place and stared at her in shock. Her hand trembled, causing the teacup in her hand to tremble as well. A few droplets fell on her dress but she couldn't care less.

Her eyes widened as she asked with her shaky voice, " Tell him everything? Now? Why so sudden?" Zhao Ming asked.

This was the moment that she was delaying for so long. She was afraid. Afraid to the point that she wished that she could hide this from him forever. Because she knows that he might hate her after knowing that she is not Zhao Ming, and yet took her place. He opened his feelings to her but she didn't tell him the biggest secret of her life, hiding the fact that she is not Zhao Ming.

She not only took Zhao Ming's place but hid the truth from him. She felt a strange sense of insecurity thinking about the times when she asked him if he loves the changed Zhao Ming or the past one. He does say that he likes her new avatar more as she can protect herself and he doesn't need to worry about her, but his next words just break her confidence. It doesn't matter which one is better because what matters is that she is Zhao Ming.

In the end, he doesn't care about her change but the fact that she is Zhao Ming. And she is not Zhao Ming.

Shen Jia looked at Zhao Ming's face which had turned paler and said, " When you were unconscious, Ji Cheng asked me why all of these things were happening to you. And how come I can treat you? I am not even a doctor like your uncle as you know."

Zhao Ming looked down at her hands and listened to Shen Jia's words carefully but her mind was thinking about the heartbreaking consequences if Ji Cheng finds out that she is not Zhao Ming.

" At that time I told him that there is something that he should know but rather than me it should be you to tell him that. And I think it's the right time to tell him the truth because he must be confused and want to ask you those questions. So before he asks you, it would be better for you to tell him the truth." Shen Jia said.

Zhao Ming was silent for a moment and after taking a deep breath, she looked at Shen Jia and said, " But….do you think he would accept me after that? I mean...I am not Zhao Ming after all. I am someone who came from another world and took over Zhao Ming's body."

" Ji Cheng loves Zhao Ming and that's not me. He would be devastated to know that the real Zhao Ming died after that drowning incident and the Zhao Ming in front of him is nothing but an imposter who is pretending to be her." her voice quivered as she thought about the grave consequences. Even though she didn't die but as Zhao Ming, she would have died if Xie Ming's wandering soul wouldn't have find the way to Zhao Ming's body.

" Aunt Shen Jia...you tell me, how can I tell him that I am not Zhao Ming but someone who came from another world, Huh? How...how can I say that his Zhao Ming is fake? How can I tell him all that? This whole situation is so messed up. I don't know what-

She was speaking while looking at Shen Jia when her words were interrupted when the wooden door behind her was kicked open with a force.

She was startled and so is Shen Jia. Shen Jia who was facing the door was shocked seeing the figure standing at the door. Zhao Ming also turned around in shock but her expressions turned ashen seeing Ji Cheng standing there.

"What...what did you just say? You...you are not Zhao Ming?" Ji Cheng stared at Zhao Ming with his eyes widened in shock and asked with his shaky voice. He was in the vicinity when he heard from a maid that Zhao Ming went to visit Shen Jia.

He turned to Shen Jia's chamber rather than the imperial court because he wanted to take Zhao Ming with him and wanted to make sure if she took the medicine or not. Also, he would feel recharged after seeing her once between his busy schedule.

However, when he was in front of the chamber and was about to open the door which shut but not locked. He could hear their vague conversations from the slightly opened door. Before he could open the door, he heard Zhao Ming's shaky voice. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

Her words caused him to froze him on the spot for a while and as she continued to speak, the more shocked he became.

Zhao Ming stared at him with her complexion turning ashen and her heart started to break into pieces seeing the shock and coldness in his eyes.

" Ji Cheng...I….listen to me. The situation was so complicated that I couldn't tell you anything because I didn't know about it either. Zhao Ming is…" Zhao Ming tried to explain her situation but Ji Cheng cut off her words and asked coldly, " So until now, you were fooling with me?

" You are not Zhao Ming? You were just pretending to be her?" he looked at her with pure coldness and hatred filled in his eyes.

Zhao Ming froze seeing his dark and gloomy expressions. His eyes were burning in anger and it was the first time she had seen this kind of expression in his eyes for her. Her heartbeat dropped hearing the coldness in his words.

The day she was most afraid of, has finally appeared!
