Chapter 642 Uncertainty
Jerry Kuang!
Probably the only people that could help her were the three friends. Since Annabelle was more familiar
with Jerry Kuang and she had his number, he gave him a call.
Jerry Kuang knew about the plane's loss of communication. He read the news and watched the TV
news reports and the man had a grim expression. At that moment, his phone rang. When he saw that it
was Annabelle's number, he was stunned.
After contemplating for a while, he decided to answer it.
"Hello…"
"Jerry Kuang, it's me!" Annabelle said directly, "I need your help!"
"What kind of help?"
"I want to go to Singapore!" Annabelle said.
When Jerry Kuang heard that, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. It seemed that she still didn't know what
happened…
"With the accident now, the airport is completely paralyzed. Going there is impossible!"
"Is there no other way?" Annabelle asked.
Jerry Kuang pondered for a while and said, "Annabelle, listen to me. Stay in A city and don't go
anywhere, wait for Alistair to come back to you!"
"Why?"
"Alistair…" When Jerry Kuang said halfway, he paused a little. After that, he continued, "Just listen to
me, don't go anywhere and just wait for him at home! I believe he will come home very soon!"
"Really?" Annabelle asked. But she had an intuition that something was odd. Jerry Kuang rarely spoke
like that.
"Yes, believe me. Make sure Alistair can see you when he gets home!" Jerry Kuang reassured her.
"… Okay, I understand!"
"Okay, I'll hang up now!"
"Okay!"
After hanging up the call, Annabelle looked at her phone. She didn't know why but she felt a tightness
in her chest and she just couldn't stop worrying. She kept having a bad intuition.
Alistair, you must not get into trouble!
On the other side, right after speaking to Annabelle, Jerry Kuang called another number immediately. It
was picked up in no time.
"Thomas, it's me. Have you seen the news?"
"Yeah…"
"Contact Sean, let's see what we can do…"
"What about Annabelle?"
"She just called me and told me that she wanted to go Singapore. I managed to calm her down!"
"We wouldn't be able to hide this for long!"
"Let's just try our best to hide it as long as possible. I don't believe that Alistair will get into trouble…"
Annabelle was worried sick for the whole day. Rumors that the plane that lost contact went viral. The
search party had started and everyone was praying in the Blog.
Annabelle just couldn't shake off her grim. She kept having a bad intuition and she didn't know how to
describe it.
At that time, Covi walked over and looked at Annabelle. She observed that Annabelle had been
keeping quiet for the entire day and she asked, "Annabelle, what's wrong? Are you worried about
president Mu?" Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Annabelle raised her head and looked at her. After that, she smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine."
"You still can't get through president Mu's phone, right?"
Annabelle nodded.
"Maybe he is occupied. Don't worry, I believe in president Mu's abilities. He will be able to settle it
soon!" Covi said.
Annabelle nodded. Hopefully that was the case.
"Now that the plane had lost contact, it was truly fortunate that president Mu isn't on that flight. We
should be thankful for that!" Covi said.
When Annabelle heard that, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. After that, she smiled and told herself
that it was impossible!
And so, the day passed just like that.
The entire city, or even the entire world was worried and keen in the update with the accident.
Annabelle was the same. She was just constantly worried.
However, she believed that Alistair would be safe!
After work finished, Coby sent her home. She was tired but not sleepy at all. She continued to call his
phone but it was always the automated reply.
Annabelle didn't take dinner and simply lied on the bed. Alistair would be calling her every night. She
maintained her hopeful optimism while waiting for his call. And she fell asleep eventually…
The phone never rang…
The next day.
Annabelle jerked up from her sleep. In her dream, she dreamt that Alistair came back. However, the
moment she approached him, he disappeared. No matter how she shouted and looked for him, she just
couldn't find Alistair. The man simply disappeared into thin smoke…
Annabelle sat up on her bed and her heart was pounding. That dream felt realistic, as if it just
happened. Annabelle sat there simmering in thoughts. After a long while, she finally calmed herself
down from the nightmare.
She picked up her phone and checked it, however, there was no incoming calls. She was disappointed.
After tidying up herself, she went to the company.
When she reached the company and got down the car. She saw uproar behind as she walked inside
the company. Annabelle turned her head back and saw Jack and a group of men rushing into the
company.
However, Alistair was nowhere to be seen.
"Jack!"
The moment Jack saw Annabelle, he was stunned. He had thought about countless ways to explain to
Annabelle but he hadn't thought to meet her like that.
"Miss Xia…"
"Where is Alistair?" Annabelle looked at the group of men and asked. When she couldn't see the
familiar figure, the strong feeling of unease was tightening in her chest.
Jack looked at Annabelle and said, "President Mu is fine. He will come back after a few days!"
"Really? Do you have any way to contact him?" Annabelle asked.
Jack nodded, "President Mu will be having a video conference with me. Let's talk in his office!"
When Annabelle heard that, she was elated. She didn't think much and followed Jack upstairs.
When they entered Alistair's office, Jack looked at the rest of the group and said, "You guys can go out
first. Remember to watch what you say!"
The few men nodded and went out.
Annabelle stood there and finally realized something was off. Every one of them had a weird
expression.
"When is your meeting with him?" Annabelle asked.
Jack looked at Annabelle and he just didn't know how he should say it.
Annabelle frowned and stared at him, "What's wrong? Why aren't you speaking?"
"President Mu, he…" Jack looked at Annabelle and his eyes were filled with grief. He didn't know how
he should say it. And he was afraid of the consequences of saying it.
However, he knew that he wouldn't be able to hide it for a long.
She would know about it sooner or later.
"What happened to him?" Annabelle asked. When she saw Jack's expression, she felt that her heart
was lifted to her throat. She dreaded to hear what Jack was about to say, but she had no choice but to
listen to him.
Jack looked at Annabelle and his expression was in pain.
"Speak!" Annabelle said sternly.
"The incident in Singapore was settled, and president Mu took the flight yesterday to come home..."
Jack said.
When Annabelle heard that, she was completely shocked.
"You mean he took the flight yesterday? MH710?" Annabelle asked and her voice was hoarse. She
was unable to believe what Jack said and she was hoping that it would be a prank or something.
However, Jack nodded his head in grief.
Annabelle was petrified.
She didn't know how she should describe her feelings.
Probably, she wasn't feeling anything anymore. Her mind was completely hollow. Her heart was hollow.
And even she herself felt hollow.
"Are you joking? Is this one of his pranks? Did he ask you to do that?" Annabelle looked at him and
forced a smile. She couldn't accept the truth.
Jack looked at her. Although the man was pained, he knew he must tell the truth, "Right after the
problem in Singapore is settled, president Mu wanted to rush home to see you, to give you a surprise.
Therefore, the rest of us stayed back to finish the work and he came back alone. But… But…" Jack
said that and he just couldn't finish his sentence.
Annabelle stood there and her tears broke out from the corner of her eyes.
She was frozen, yet there was a scream inside her. However, she couldn't scream it out loud or even
say anything.
She couldn't believe it!
She didn't want to believe it!!
"Miss Xia…" When Jack looked at her state of shock, he was worried.
Annabelle stood there completely froze. As if everything stopped. The only thing she could feel was the
pain in her heart.
"Miss Xia…" Jack looked at her and said, "Although president Mu was on the plane, we didn't know
what happened to the plane yet! I believe president Mu will definitely be fine!"
Once Jack said that, not even he himself believe that.
Everyone knew that whenever a plane got into an accident like that, the survival rate was zero!
They were just in denial.
Annabelle remained quiet. She stood there without any expression and Jack didn't know what she was
thinking.
"Miss Xia..." Jack called out to her again.
Annabelle raised her head and her eyes were misty, "Does anyone else know about this?"
"Not much. Aside from those that went to Singapore with him, I can only think only president Kuang!"
President Kuang?
No wonder he asked her to stay at home and wait for him. Annabelle's tears flowed down again. She
looked at Jack and said, "Don't let president Mu family know about it first!"
Jack nodded in agreement, "But I don't think we can hide it for long!"
"We try whatever we can!" Annabelle said.
Jack nodded, "Got it!"
"Get them to keep an eye on the airport. If there is any news at all, inform me right away!"
Jack nodded.
At that time, Annabelle spoke, "You can go on ahead…"
Jack looked at Annabelle worriedly. However, he didn't know how to comfort her. Probably, the best
thing for her was some time alone to calm down.
Jack went out. The moment he walked out the door, he looked at Annabelle. He admitted that a woman
like Annabelle was just admirable.
Even if she was broken by grief, she cared for president Mu's family.
At that moment, Jack seemed to understand more about love.
Once he went out, Annabelle stood there and all of her defenses crumbled. She fell to the couch.
The woman broke out in tears.
Why is that happening!?
Why!?
The moment she thought about the possibility that Alistair might be permanently separated from her,
she felt that her heart was so painful it could stop.
Without the man, the world seemed to be robbed of colors.
She didn't dare to think further and prayed for a miracle. However, will the seemingly impossible
miracle appear on her?
She covered her face and wept silently…
Alistair!!!
Annabelle stayed in Alistair's office the entire afternoon. Jack was very worried about her and he
wanted to go in and check on her. However, he was afraid that he might disturb her or make her feel
uncomfortable.
At that time, his phone rang.
Jack answered it right away, "Hello…"
The moment he heard the report over the phone, he was stunned. After that, he gripped his phone
tightly and rushed into the office.
Annabelle sat there unmovingly and lifelessly, like a piece of sculpture.
Jack looked at her and said, "Miss Xia, the grandmother is admitted into the hospital!"
When Annabelle heard that, she raised her head and looked at Jack. Her eyes were swollen red, it was
obvious that she had been crying.
"Someone just called and told me that grandma Mu fainted after hearing what happened to president
Mu, she was sent to the hospital after that!"
Annabelle was stunned. After that, she stood up right away, "Which hospital?"
"Saint An!"
Annabelle wiped her tears off and walked outside hurriedly.
When Jack looked at her back view, he couldn't describe his feeling.
She was the one feeling the most pain, yet she tried her best for his family.
Jack felt heavy hearted just by looking at her!
In the hospital.
The grandmother was lying in bed. She was still unconscious.
Madam Mu was crying as well and Zen had a grim expression.
"How is grandma?" Annabelle used all of her strength to hold back her tears.
"The doctor said she was overcome with emotion and fainted. She is safe!" Zen said.
When Annabelle heard that, she nodded restfully, "Thank God!"
When Zen looked at Annabelle, he said, "Annabelle, Alistair…"
"I believe he will be just fine!" Before Zen finished his sentence, Annabelle interrupted him and her
gaze was determined.
Who was Alistair? He was invincible! He could make the impossible possible! Therefore, Annabelle
believed that he was definitely safe!
When Zen saw how resolute she was, he didn't know what to say.
"I too, hope that he can be fine, but…"
"They had simply lost contact with the airplane. Maybe it was forced to stop somewhere. No matter
what, I refuse to believe anything happened to him without getting a confirmation!" Annabelle
enunciated.
When Zen heard her resolution, he kept quiet.
He didn't have her optimism, or hope.
He had braced himself for the worst.
The mother didn't say anything and wept silently. She tried everything she could just do stay conscious
and not passed out like the grandmother.
"Annabelle…"
At that time, a weak voice got all of their attention.
Annabelle lowered her gaze and looked at the grandmother. She hurriedly held her hand, "Grandma,
are you feeling okay?"
The grandmother's eyes reddened. After that, she couldn't help but sobbed, "Annabelle, this old
woman is guilty. I shouldn't have match made you and Alistair…"
Her words brought Annabelle to tears.
Annabelle couldn't hold back her tears anymore and she looked at her, "Grandma, what nonsense are
you talking about!?"
"Alistair…" The grandmother couldn't continue and broke into tears. Alistair was her treasure since he
was a little kid. The woman was completely heartbroken when she learnt of the news.
Annabelle held the grandmother's hand, "Grandma, we still haven't received any news of confirmation.
We can't be sure that he got into trouble, right?"
Annabelle forced a smile on her face, "I believe he will definitely be fine!"
When the family saw how staunch and strong-willed she was, they didn't know what to say. Probably,
they should be hopeful just like her.
After one day and one night, countless efforts were put into the search.
However, there was no news at all.
In the room.
Hua walked inside the room and looked at Kaleb Hua, he said, "Brother Kaleb, something happened!"
When Kaleb Hua heard that, he raised his gaze, "What happened?"
"There was an airplane that lost contact on its way here from Singapore. I received news that Alistair
was in the passenger list!"
When Kaleb Hua heard that, he was stunned.
The man rarely cared about the news. He simply heard the accident from others and he wasn't even
bothered to check on it.
The moment he heard the news, his first thought was: how about Annabelle?
He didn't know why he would think of Annabelle. However, ever since their previous meetings, he felt a
strong sense of attraction towards her. He wanted to care for and take care of her. And his intention
was completely pure. He simply felt a closeness and familiarity from her…
Probably that was because she resembled Xiao Le too much!
"Is there any update on the accident?" Kaleb Hua asked hurriedly.
"Nothing for the time being!"
"Then Xia… What about his family?" Kaleb Hua asked.
"I heard that the grandmother fainted and got admitted into the hospital. Now everyone was
accompanying her, including Miss Xia." Hua said.
He knew that Brother Kaleb's greatest concern was Annabelle.
Right after Kaleb Hua heard that, he pondered for a while and said, "Get someone to keep a close eye.
Tell me if there is any news!"
Hua nodded, "Got it, I heard that…"
