Chapter 218 - 218 The Great Bosses meets Lily Cheung’s Past (8)
The Cheung Elders and Leah didn't expect to see James in that kind of state, they didn't expect that the fearless businessman is afraid of dolls and they also remembered that Lily once said to them that James fears the most is the one she likes the most but they didn't give importance to that for they thought that Lily was just joking around.
"I didn't know that James has a severe fear in dolls, I thought Lily was just joking around to us when she said it to us when she didn't get her doll collections at her room to be transferred to the Su Mansion," Eva Cheung said and it was heard by Leah and Marcus Wu.
"James has a Pediophobia, Lily got that information when she once invites James to the Madame Tussauds in London before they got married. James declines her offer and he told Lily about his condition that's why she asks the two of us to join her. And that's the reason why Lily hides all her doll collections at the Cheung Mansion and she never brought it with her when they got married. That's also the reason why Lily never received any dolls as a gift from him when they became a couple for about a month and even when he courted her not like when Edward courted her and even when they're still a couple. Edward showered Lily with so many dolls" Marcus Wu informed his wife who has a confusing look at James.
"One unique kind of fear to someone who has experienced something from their childhood. Pediophobia is a type of phobia known as a specific phobia, an irrational fear of something that poses no actual threat, Pediophobia, or the fear of dolls, is relatively common. It is believed to be a type of automatonophobia or fear of humanoid figures. Some people are afraid of all dolls and stuffed toys, while others fear only a specific type. Dolls that talk or move and old-fashioned china dolls are especially common targets of fear" Prince Stephen who is a doctor among the great bosses explains to everyone at his side.
James hated dolls since the age of five, his cousins are the culprits for this phobia that he has, he never overcomes this kind of phobia even he undergo some treatments. James also knew that Lily loves dolls but he always gave her some pieces of jewelry, and flowers as a gift but not dolls, that's why Sofia and Luna don't grow up having dolls as a toy and it is also the reason why Luna indulge herself in learning musical instruments, learning how to cook and bake, and most especially how to paint and draw. While Sofia indulges herself in how to maintain having perfect body and skin, make-ups, fashion, and how to act in front of the camera.
Edward suddenly looked at Lily and his eyes are asking the questions about the dolls that he gave to her for there is certain.... couple's doll which is customized of their images and it was made by porcelain. Lily saw Edward gazes at her, "Butler So hide my dolls at the Cheung Mansion when I married James, everything that I collected and the ones that you gave to me" Lily informs him and Edward took a deep sigh as he heard her explanation. "She still kept everything that I gave to her, it only means that she still does care for our old memories," Edward said to himself.
Duke Lawrence: "You like dolls My Lily?"
Lily: "Oh Yes. I love them so much, My Love."
Duke Lawrence: "I'll give you when we arrive at the City of Wise."
Lily: "Really! I would love to collect again some dolls especially the ones that are made by porcelain."
Countess Grace: "I'll share my collections with you, Lady Lily, I have a huge house full of dolls and if the new bunnies will be female we must snatch them with these males so that we could play dolls with our grandchildren."
Lily claps her hand in excitement and she smiled cheerfully. "Oh! Yes, we will do that Countess Grace, I'll make some dresses for the dolls also as I have some designs at my locker" Lily informed the Countess as they both gave each other a high five.
Lucas Cheung: "Lawrence your wife will not fall asleep tonight for what you and Countess Grace have just said to her. She will pester you two until she sees the dolls."
Then suddenly the door slams open and Ivan went inside with a crate of different rugs dolls and ivory dolls, and he arranged the dolls around James. James was frozen as soon as he saw what Ivan was doing and he immediately closes his eyes and tried to ignore the things that are happening in front of him.
"Open your eyes James Su if you don't want us to forcefully use an instrument on your eyes so that it will be opened," Countess Grace said as she gazes at the China dolls as she also adores dolls.
James slowly opened his eyes but his having difficulty in his breathing, he had some tears in his eyes, he shut his eyes again when he saw a China doll standing right in front of him. He was sweating profusely and he shook his head as he tried to calm himself. "This is just a nightmare. This is not true! You only see Lily...Lily the one you love..." James keeps on mumbling and took deeper breaths with an interval of two minutes and Ivan heard him mumbling those words.
"Masters he is having difficulty in breathing" Ivan informs the great bosses as James looks very pale and it seems that he is not in good condition. "Collect all the dolls but just put it in the corner, gave him oxygen, it will help him on his breathing," Prince Stephen told Ivan. Ivan gave James oxygen while Irwin and Nikolai collected the dolls and as what Prince Stephen just has ordered them they just put it on the corner.

"Hey, James! open your eyes now, there are no dolls" Lily shouted as she giggled when James tries to open his eyes to make it sure that there are no dolls in front of him, James took a deep breath as he made sure there were no more dolls in front of him. "You know that I have a severe fear in dolls Lily, why did you tell them and you even giggled to see me in this kind of situation?! Are you trying to kill me of heart attack!" James shouted at Lily. James only realizes that what he has done was wrong and it was too late to ask for forgiveness because it is when the China doll has suddenly appeared on his right side and sitting beside him and looking at him, he froze from the moment he could feel that there are eyes who stare at him.
"Wrong move James Su! You have no right to shout on my wife! We are the ones who like to kill you and she didn't tell us about your fears but we already have you investigated and everything about you, your wife, and even to you s.l.u.t daughter Sofia Su's darkest secret.... we all know about it." Duke Lawrence in a very stern voice.
"Now you know what fear is James Su! You also know that Luna used to have Nyctophobia but still you let your wife Suzy and your daughter Sofia bully her and they even locked her up in the bas.e.m.e.nt without any light. Luna's extreme fear of night or darkness can cause intense symptoms of anxiety and depression. A phobia when it's excessive, irrational, or impacts your day-to-day life and being afraid of the dark often starts in childhood and is viewed as a normal part of development but still, Luna tries to overcome it because she needs to fight her very own nightmare! A nightmare living with a father like you in a house she never called home when you brought Suzy and Sofia inside" Countess Helen Rose yelled at him.
"You let that bitch Suzy locked Luna to the bas.e.m.e.nt! Why James! Why did you let her do that! Didn't you know that Luna tends to be frantic and it takes weeks or months before she could overcome it? That's why she has a night light or tea candles lighted up when she falls asleep at night and that's why she always has her panda bear stuffed toy that she hugs beside her" Lily said as she pants because she was very angry to James.
James: "Sofia ruined the stuffed toy from the moment I brought her and Suzy home. I thought Luna has already overcome her fears for she is not crying anymore when night falls."
Lily: "She doesn't like to cry in front of you James, she doesn't like you to see her at her lowest point but if you heard the sound of the music being played it only means that she can't hold her tears and feeling anymore."
