My Killing President

Chapter 686 Leaving

The next day.

In a coffee house.

Kaleb Hua sat face-to-face with Teneria. Although the two men were about the same age, they were

vastly different in their temperament.

Kaleb Hua emerged from a mobster background and he carried a pressuring presence. Teneria was a

self-made man that started from nothing. Although he wasn't carrying a strong aura like Kaleb Hua, he

was calm and composed.

"May I know what is Mr. Xia's business for inviting me?" Kaleb Hua asked while he lifted his cup of tea

to have a sip.

"I wish to give you my thanks, Mr. Kaleb! If it wasn't for you, Annabelle might get into serious trouble!"

Teneria said.

When Kaleb Hua heard that, he wasn't surprised and he simply smiled, "Don't worry about it. Anyone

would have done it and Miss Xia had saved me in the past. I was simply returning the favor!"

Teneria had heard that Annabelle helped Kaleb Hua before. But he didn't know that in details.

"Even if that was the case, I must give you my sincerest thanks!"

"Mr. Xia, you are too modest!"

Teneria drank his tea as well. After contemplating for a while, he said, "Mr. Kaleb, why were you in the

hospital that late in the night?"

"I always do my check up regularly. Since I wasn't free in the daytime, I made a special appointment in

the night. It was such a coincidence!"

The man had thought and prepared that answer. He was able to say it in the most natural manner.

When Hua watched it from behind, he felt heavy hearted.

It was his own daughter yet he needed to pretend he didn't care at all.

Teneria smiled, "What a coincidence!"

"I've always said that Miss Xia and I were fateful!" Kaleb Hua said with a smile.

When Teneria heard that, he smiled awkwardly, "By the way, when Mr. Kaleb attended my son's

wedding, I happened to see you dropping a ring, may I know…"

"That was something very important to me!" Kaleb Hua said.

That day, Kaleb Hua had tested him with the ring.

And now, Teneria tested him back with the same thing.

"That ring simply looked exquisite and it gave me a strong impression!" Teneria said.

Kaleb Hua simply smiled, "It isn't anything too valuable. It was just a keepsake for old memories!" He

didn't speak more after that.

The man had found out that Annabelle was his daughter. But what about Dawson Xiao?

Annabelle was adopted by the Xia family… Then where did Dawson Xiao go?

Although Kaleb Hua was anxious to know all of that and he sent men to investigate the Xia family, he

found out that the Xia family did not know Dawson Xiao. But there was another man that surprised him.

Zen!

Kaleb Hua was still a little doubtful. But now that Teneria was testing him like that, he knew for sure that

Teneria didn't know what happened.

When Teneria heard that, he nodded, "No matter what, I must thank you for your life saving grace. I will

always remember your kind help. If you need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to tell me!"

"Sure!" Kaleb Hua was not reserved. The man had spent a long time being a mobster and he knew the

importance of getting favors.

The two men drank their tea quietly.

All of a sudden, Hua's phone rang. He picked it up and walked forward, "Brother Kaleb, your call!"

Kaleb Hua took a look and answered it. He put his phone by his ear.

A few seconds later, he said, "I understand. I will go back right now!" After saying that, he hung up right

away and passed his phone back to Hua.

"Mr. Xia, I'm afraid I must excuse myself now. Let me treat you for a meal some other day!"

Teneria looked at him and said, "Mr. Kaleb, go ahead with your work. We can always meet again!"

"Okay!" Kaleb Hua nodded and walked away.

Teneria sat on the same spot and watched as the man left. After that, the smile on his face slowly

subsided.

Kaleb Hua was a careful man. He wouldn't be able to get him to speak but everything he said showed

his care to Annabelle. The man looked harmless but Teneria just couldn't shake of his bad intuition…

……

In the hospital.

Alistair had been accompanying Annabelle. He was just fearful that she might get into another accident

and he decided to leave the work matters for a while and accompany her.

After Annabelle fell asleep, Alistair sat by her side and quieted his mind. The man had been processing

everything that happened.

Kaleb Hua had an RH -negative blood type, and he showed up in the middle of the night?

Was that really just a coincidence?

Or… Were they somehow related?

It was night and no lights were on in the ward. However, Alistair's eyes were brightly lit. He stared at

the woman on the bed and tried to connect everything that happened…

There was also the fact that Zen showed a strong reaction when he saw Kaleb Hua.

There must be something they didn't know.

The man long fingers were brushing against his own chin. He seemed to be in deep thought.

No matter what, he must be sure to find out the truth.

At that time, he heard sounds of footsteps. The man's eyebrows lowered and he walked out quietly.

Nancy was sitting at the bench outside, wearing her patient outfit. Her ward was just right next door but

Alistair hadn't been stepping in at all.

As he looked at her skinny and lonely figure, and now that Annabelle was completely fine, his anger

subsided.

When Nancy raised her head and saw him, the woman's eyes lit up right away, "Alistair…"

When Alistair heard her, he walked out the ward and closed the door quietly.

"Why aren't you resting?"

"I couldn't fall asleep…" After saying that, Nancy lowered her head. Her fair cheeks were without make

up and she looked pale and piteous.

"It's quite late already!"

"Alistair, I am so sorry that I have caused you trouble. I even involved sister Annabelle in such danger!"

Nancy said.

Alistair hadn't expected her to apologize so suddenly and so seriously. He wasn't used to the childish

girl behaving like that.

"Now that you know your mistake, it is all good!"

Nancy nodded and she wasn't acting like before. She looked at Alistair and said sincerely, "I think I

understand why you like sister Annabelle so much now!"

"Alistair, I give the two of you my blessings!"

Alistair looked at her and he could feel that Nancy was different. At that moment, he could feel her

sincerity.

He smiled, "Thank you, Nancy!"

Nancy looked at him and showed a conflicted expression, "Actually, you do know that I like you, right?"

Alistair didn't answer and simply looked back at her.

Nancy continued to speak, "Actually, I had fallen in love the moment I saw you when I was a little girl. It

was my dream to grow up marrying you and be your bride!"

Alistair continued to keep his silence.

Nancy simply smiled, "And after that fateful accident, I thought I would die but I recovered miraculously.

I thought the gods were giving me a second chance!"

"Nancy…"

"After that, you left and I thought that was it for the two of us. However, Jerry Kuang called me one day

and brought me back to you. At that time, I knew that you have a person you like. I thought it was the

same for you, that you would bounce from woman to woman and it was just a temporary fling.

However, I hadn't expected you to be serious about it!"

Alistair frowned faintly and his face was tensed. He did not give any response.

"At that time, I tried to get you back by my side. I was even desperate enough to pretend to date

Antonio Lu to get your attention. At that time, I realized that you no longer care for me like you used to!"

"Alistair, have you ever liked me? Even just for a little bit?" Nancy stared at him in the eyes. She had a

desperate look.

When Alistair heard that, he spoke, "Nancy…"

"Actually, you don't have to answer that. I know what you're going to say!" Nancy smiled bitterly.

"However, I finally get it now. All that I hope for was in the past and I wouldn't be able to get it back!"

She said that with a crying tone but she was smiling.

"Nancy, you will definitely find your own happiness!" Alistair said.

Nancy nodded with a smile, "I hope so too!"

Alistair looked at her and smiled, "You definitely will!"

Nancy chuckled, "Okay, it's pretty late now. I should go back and rest!"

Alistair nodded, "Okay, rest well!"

"You too!"

After saying that, Nancy stood up and walked back into her ward.

After watching her getting back inside, Alistair continued to sit on the bench for some time. He wasn't in

a hurry to leave but he sat in relieved.

He would never know that the moment Nancy walked into her ward and shut the door, she fell on the

floor and leaned against the door while breaking into tears. She was afraid that Alistair might hear her

and she tried her best to be silent. She bit her lips and covered her mouth with her hands. The woman

was crying out all of her sorrow and heartbroken…

The next day.

Annabelle was discharged and Nancy as well.

Annabelle went straight to the Mu House because it was easier to take care of her there. Alistair could

finally rested his heart and he rushed to the company.

Right after Annabelle went back, she became the center of attention. The grandmother, Madam Mu

and auntie Li simply treated her like a queen, catering to her every need. Annabelle only needed to

walk herself when she goes to the toilet, other than that, they were even thinking of getting her a

wheelchair.

"Annabelle, I don't care what happens in the future. You must make sure to prioritize your own safety. I

do not wish to see something like this happening again!" The grandmother looked at Annabelle and

said sternly.

"No, this old woman wouldn't give you a chance like that anymore!"

Annabelle smiled and nodded, "Grandma, got it!"

"That's right, Annabelle, you should always make sure to protect yourself first!" Madam Mu added from

the side.

Annabelle knew that she had to bear with their educational session. However, the young lady enjoyed

being cared for like that. She kept nodding with a smile, "I know, I will definitely do that next time. I

promise!"

"That's more like it!" When the grandmother saw her reaction, she rested her heart.

"Miss Xia, no, young lady, drink more chicken soup! Then your wounds will heal faster!"

"Okay, thank you!" Annabelle sat on the couch and accepted the bowl of soup happily.

"Drink while it's hot!" The grandmother added.

Annabelle nodded and started drinking.

Nancy was completely ignored.

At that time, Nancy stood upstairs and watched them. She was feeling complicated inside.

At that time, Zen came out from his study room and he saw Nancy standing by the stairs.

"What's the matter? Why aren't you going down?" Zen asked.

Nancy turned her head back. When she saw Zen, she shook her head, "There's no need for that!"

"Annabelle almost got into trouble this time. We were just worried and it is only normal for them to show

extra care!" Zen said.

Nancy nodded, "I understand. I am thankful towards sister Annabelle as well. If it wasn't for her, I don't

even dare to imagine what would happen to me! I might not even be alive right now!"

When Zen heard Nancy saying that, he rested his heart. The father smiled, "Annabelle is a thoughtful

and selfless person. I wasn't surprised to hear her doing that!" After saying that, Zen turned around and

walked downstairs.

Nancy stood and watched Zen's back. As she looked at the lively atmosphere downstairs, she wasn't

jealous but she sank into a sudden realization. She finally understood why everyone likes Annabelle.

When she thought about that, she made up her mind and walked back into her room.

For the coming two days, Annabelle was treated like a queen. Her wound was recovering well.

Although it wasn't completely healed, it started to form scar tissues.

One day, Annabelle received a call from Nancy.

The woman asked for a meet up. Annabelle didn't have a choice and after a long nagging session of

the grandmother, she got the driver to send her.

Annabelle didn't understand the young lady. They were staying in the same house yet Nancy invited

her to meet outside. However, since that was the case, she went to meet her.

In the restaurant, the two women sat face-to-face.

Annabelle looked at her, "Why can't we just talk at home and we need to come all the way here?"

Nancy smiled, "We can have some privacy here. I wish to thank you and also tell you something!"

Annabelle smiled and took a mouthful of the fruit salad in front of her, "What's up?"

Nancy pondered for a while and said, "I'm going back to Malaysia!"

Annabelle was stunned and she looked at Nancy in disbelief, "You're going back?"

Nancy nodded, "Tonight's flight!"

"Why the hurry?"

"Actually I have been thinking about it for a long time and I have bought the ticket some days ago. I

simply chose to tell it today!" Nancy looked at Annabelle and said indifferently. Her tone was flat and

she wasn't showing much emotion.

Annabelle blinked her long eyelashes and she didn't know what to say. And Nancy continued.

"Sister Annabelle, I wish to apologize to you for everything I have done. I admit that I like Alistair. But

he doesn't like me and he simply treated me like how a brother treats a sister. Maybe he felt

responsible towards me!"

"Actually, it wasn't his fault that the car accident happened few years back. I was the one that insisted

to get in his car and refused to get down no matter what. He didn't need to blame himself. However, I

knew that he was guilt ridden and I leveraged on that. It was like a hall pass and I acted ruthlessly!"

Nancy smiled bitterly.

Annabelle had heard about their past and she reserved her comment. She was unable to identify with

their feelings because it didn't happen on her. She knew that she wouldn't be able to understand what

Alistair felt.

"Now I finally understand that he had never loved me. It was just a one-sided feeling!" Nancy said with

a soft voice and she had a bitter expression.

Annabelle wouldn't have any trouble handling her assertiveness and even rudeness. But now that

Nancy was acting all mature and sensible, Annabelle didn't know what to say.

The woman couldn't help but think to herself that she just wasn't the emotional type of person!

"Sister Annabelle, I am so sorry. I have done so many things to hurt you. But you graciously didn't

blame me and even sacrificed your own life to save me!" Nancy looked in her eyes sincerely.

Annabelle smiled, "You don't have to do puff me up that much. I would have done that for anyone under

that circumstance. I didn't expect Antonio Lu to go that far!"

"But you did try your best to let me escape!" Nancy knew that Annabelle had put herself in danger just

for the sake of buying her time to escape.

Annabelle smiled and said no more.

"You are different than all the other women of Alistair in the past. Therefore, I wish the two of you the

best and happiness!" Nancy said sincerely.

"I believe your brother Alistair will be happy to receive your blessings. When are you leaving? Does he

know?"

Nancy shook her head, "He doesn't know. I didn't tell him and I hope that you don't tell him as well!"

"Why?"

"Maybe he is still angry with me that I got you hurt. No matter what, sister Annabelle, please don't tell

him!" Nancy looked at Annabelle and said. Her eyes were determined and she seemed to be dead set

on not letting Alistair know.

"Nancy, you are thinking too much. Even if he was angry about you, now that I am fine, his anger would

have subsided. Moreover, I don't think he was angry at you, but simply too anxious with what

happened!" Annabelle said indifferently. She was starting to understand Alistair's sense of responsibility

towards the young girl.

"Let's just leave it like that..." Nancy said casually, "However, sister Annabelle, why are you so foolish?"

"Huh?" Annabelle raised an eyebrow in puzzlement.

"How can you be so naive? If you ask Alistair to send me off, what if I change my mind?" Nancy asked.

Annabelle smiled, "If I didn't even have that much confidence, I wouldn't be here now!"

"Even if that's the case, you should always be more careful. I don't think the other women would be as

tasteful as me!" Nancy said.

She was right.

They were all kinds of people surrounding Alistair. Although Nancy was a little sly, she had never done

anything to harm Annabelle directly.

Such is love.

It made people jealous, lost… And even put one beside their mind and do something completely

irrational.

However, Nancy wasn't like Yoi, doing all kinds of wicked deeds in the name of love. Probably that was

another reason why Annabelle just couldn't eat Nancy.

"I understand!" Annabelle nodded with a smile.

After the meal, the driver sent Annabelle back and Nancy went straight to the airport.

Annabelle was unable to see her off. But she felt regretful if Nancy were to leave like that. After thinking This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

for a while, she took out her phone to call Alistair. However, she just couldn't get through him.

Annabelle kept calling but the call just wouldn't get through.

In the end, Annabelle called his secretary.

"Jenny, where is president Mu?" Annabelle asked.

"President Mu is in the middle of a meeting. There was some problem with his project and it's already

been one hour!"

"Is it important?" Annabelle asked.

"Yes!"

Since the secretary said that, Annabelle hesitated to interrupt him. She simply said, "After president Mu

comes out, get him to call me back right away!"

"Okay, got it!" The secretary answered and they ended the call.

Annabelle sat on her bed and looked at her phone. Time passed slowly but her phone never rang.

About half an hour later, her phone rang. However it wasn't Alistair calling but Nancy.

She took up her phone and answered it.

"Hello…"

"Sister Annabelle, I am already boarding in the airport. But before I leave, I have something to tell you!"

"What is it?"

"I hope that after you hear this, you would love Alistair more!" Nancy said.

Annabelle held her breath and listened to Nancy closely.

"Actually, the time when Alistair went outstation to Singapore and had some problem with the project,

he found out that it was your brother that secretly caused trouble for him. Therefore, he needed to

waste a lot of time to put things right and ended up on that plane that lost contact. Everything that

happened was because of your brother!"

After hearing that, Annabelle felt a bomb detonated in her mind.

She found it difficult to believe.

"After the plane lost contact, I received a call from Jerry Kuang and rushed over. At that time, your

brother continued to snipe and sabotage Alistair's company's project. I believe he has never told you

that. He really loves you very much…"

Annabelle was just shocked to hear that from Nancy.

She didn't know anything about that at all.

"Dear passengers, your flight MH404 to Malaysia is ready to board…"

At that time, Annabelle heard the airport announcement.

Nancy held her phone and said, "Sister Annabelle, I will board now. See you!"

Annabelle still wanted to say something but Nancy had already hung up. She looked at her phone and

her thoughts were troubled by Nancy's words…

Was she telling the truth?

But she didn't have any reason to lie!

If that was true…

At that moment, she recalled the moment the plane got into trouble, she went to look for Ralphy. At that

time, she saw his assistant leaving anxiously the moment he saw her. Moreover, she begged Ralphy

for help but he refused…

Now that she thought of it, it was indeed suspicious.
