'Wait what am I thinking, I must of lost my mind . '

Chang tried to pick herself up off the ground, but they wouldn't work right, like rubber she couldn't seem to get a firm foot under herself .

Like a newborn faun or calf, she shakily tried to get to her feet with the assistance of her hands on the ground . Her legs shook as she tried to put weight on them and she ended back on her hands and knees in the dirt . 'C'mon work legs, pleeease . ?' Chang tried to will them into working but to no avail, her hips and thigh muscles were so sore they kept jumping and shaking .

Liang Jian Amal bemusedly watched her struggle like a newborn animal to find her footing . When she fell again she looked up at him briefly with helpless, pitiful eyes, and he pulled her up into his arms from the ground .

"This is normal after your first time riding, after some stretching and a hot bath, your legs will be fine again . "

Chang nodded her head against his shoulder obediantly . She gripped the front of his white shirt and inhaled his musky comforting smell . 'Hmm feels nice . ' Feeling the steady beat of his heart under her hands, and his smell she dozed off for a bit in his arms, exhausted from their day of play .

Liang Jian Amal carried Chang to the water gardens which were in between the medical wing and the main palace complex . The water gardens were some of the most extensive grounds in the palace as they encircled the medical building, and it took him almost twenty minutes find LiHua .

LiHua sat on a swinging wicker bench that hung from a massive Babylonian Willow which protected a small jade pool . Li Hua had her ankles crossed lightly swaying them forward and background rocking the bench . The willow's low hanging wide sweeping branches had almost completely hidden her, if not for the movement he might have missed her at first .

"Li Hua . " Liang Jian Amal called out to the woman sitting alone . As if she didnt hear him, she didnt react and kept swaying the bench to and fro .

"Li Hua . " He called out in lower tone, as he drew closer, ducking beneath a few of the branches .

He came around to the front of the bench and saw the emotionless, vacant expression on her face .

"Mother . . "

Li Hua finally looked up at him recognition pooling in her eyes . She looked down at her daughter breathing shallowly in his arms .

She smiled at the two of them, a small halting smile that almost faltered into a frown .

"I'm sorry . I'm so sorry . I wish I could stay with the two of you longer, I wish . . " Her words cut off as her voice broke and a few bitter tears rolled down .

"You have nothing to apologize for, I'm sorry, I thought there might be a chance if we came here . " He looked down clenching his jaw .

"You gave me the chance to have more time . You brought Hao Jin Ying into my life, who has become a good friend . You brought my daughter back to me again, and smiling . She hasn't smiled so brightly since her father passed away . So please dont apologize to me, I am so thankful . I am so grateful that when I pass, I know that my Xiao Xie will have someone by her side . I couldn't bear the thought of leaving her alone in this world . "

Li Hua looked at him smiling, tears glistening in her eyes, the sun shining down in small broken rays through the lacy silvery green foliage . "Thank you . "
