Chapter 739 Protection
Hua didn't deny and he brought the bowl of medicine to the man. Kaleb Hua simply drank it quietly
while staring at the picture.
"Brother Kaleb, should we make another doctor's appointment tomorrow…"
"There's no need!" Right when Hua suggested that, Kaleb Hua rejected him right away.
Hua frowned, "But you have more frequent relapses now!"
"This had been with me for so many years already. Don't worry, I know my body well…" Kaleb Hua
said. The man dreaded to go to the hospital. And for now, he wanted to spend more time with
Annabelle Xia and his dearest grandson.
Hua was helpless. He looked at Kaleb Hua's back and he felt heavy hearted.
When Kaleb Hua didn't hear a reply from Hua, he sighed, "I know that you are worried about me. You
should know that there are no cure for my sickness. Even if we managed to find the suitable donor and
blood, the chances are slim. I know my body well and you are not allowed to tell her!"
What the man said was exactly what Hua was thinking about.
"I understand!" Hua said indifferently and he didn't show any emotion. Right when he wanted to get out,
Kaleb Hua recalled something suddenly and he called out, "Hua, wait a second!"
Hua turned around and looked at Kaleb Hua.
At that time, Kaleb Hua took out a document from his drawer, "This is for you!"
The moment Hua saw the document, he frowned and accepted it.
The moment he read through the papers, his eyebrows knitted closely, "Brother Kaleb, this…"
"This is twenty percent of the Rong Le Group. It's for you!" Kaleb Hua said.
Hua frowned, "Brother Kaleb…"
"You had followed me loyally all these years and you have suffered quite a lot. You deserve all these!"
Kaleb Hua said with a gentleness.
Hua had an illusion that Kaleb Hua was saying his last words.
"I don't want it!" Hua refused right away, "Brother Kaleb, if it wasn't for you, I would be long dead. How
can I have such a privilege today? I will not accept this!"
Where Kaleb Hua saw how riled Hua was, he continued, "This isn't much but I hope it is enough for you
to live a comfortable life. But there is something I would need your help with!"
Hua answered immediately, "Brother Kaleb, just tell me whatever you need. I will do whatever I can.
But this, I simply cannot accept it!" After saying that, Hua lowered the documents on the table and
returned it to Kaleb Hua.
Song Jing glanced at it and stared Hua in the eyes, "I hope that after I am gone. You can help
Annabelle to manage Rong Le. And help me to protect the mother and child, don't let them get into
harm's way!"
Hua didn't expect Kaleb Hua to say that and he frowned, "No, Brother Kaleb, nothing will happen to
you!" Hua said in anguish and the man's eyes were filled with worry.
Had Kaleb Hua not saved him, Hua wouldn't be able to survive and end up being so accomplished.
Therefore, the man was loyal and had every heart towards Kaleb Hua…
If anything were to happen to that man…
Hua just didn't know what he should do!
After the life saving grace of Kaleb Hua, Hua swore that he would follow him to the ends of the world. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
But now that Kaleb Hua gave his last instructions, Hua was just frightful.
Kaleb Hua simply smiled restfully, "I've lived too long and I have already found peace. I know my body
well and I wouldn't be able to trust anyone aside from you. Hua, promise me!"
"Brother Kaleb!"
When the two of them looked into each other's eyes, Hua saw the man's unwavering determination.
"Promise me!" Kaleb Hua said again.
In the end, Hua knew he couldn't convince the man and he nodded solemnly, "I will… I will protect
them. But I will protect you as well, I will never let anything happen to you!"
Kaleb Hua knew Hua's loyalty. He nodded with a smile, "But before that, you must accept this!" The
man pointed at the twenty percent shares of Rong Le Group.
Before Hua rejected him again, Kaleb Hua said with a serious demeanor, "This is an order!"
There was nothing Hua could say and he nodded slowly. The man was filled with gratitude, "Brother
Kaleb, thank you!"
"All right, it's pretty late now. Go get some rest!"
Hua nodded and went out the room.
Kaleb Hua continued to look at the picture in the room. It was a picture of Annabelle Xia and Shi
Guang. They were laughing heartily.
When Kaleb Hua looked at the smiling faces, his wrinkled face had a gentle and contended smile.
Dawson Xiao, did you see this?
This is our daughter, and our grandson…
He wanted to reunite with his family as well. But he knew his body all too well. It was simply a miracle
that he was able to survive for the past year.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Alistair Mu. But just like every parent, he needed to make very sure and
do everything he could. Otherwise, he just couldn't be restful!
Kaleb Hua placed Annabelle Xia and Shi Guang's picture on his desk and put it side-by-side with
Dawson Xiao's.
When he looked at the picture of Dawson Xiao smiling, the face that almost resembled Annabelle Xia,
his eyes were gleaming in gentleness.
Dawson Xiao, are you no longer around?
If that is true, then I will be joining you soon.
Wait for me…
When I see you again, I will ask for your forgiveness and I will never leave you anymore.
……
The news about Annabelle Xia's return travelled to the Xia family.
When Teneria Xia and Waynie Xu saw the pictures of Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu, also the baby they
were carrying, they couldn't describe their feelings.
Annabelle Xia had come back and she showed no intention to contact them. The family knew about
that through the newspaper…
Although they couldn't see the baby clearly from the picture, they could see Annabelle Xia. Their
daughter looked different already. Her eyes were gleaming in unwavering confidence…
The husband and wife were no longer in the mood for breakfast. They looked at each other and didn't
know what to say.
"She came back… But she didn't contact us…" Waynie Xu said sorrowfully. Moreover, it was such a
grand celebration but Alistair Mu didn't invite them. The man had made his intention very clear.
Teneria Xia simply sighed, "As long as she is fine, it is enough!"
"But…"
"There is no buts!" Before Waynie Xu finishes her sentence, Teneria Xia interrupted her, "We were the
ones that wronged her one year ago. We had completely failed as parents. It is just understandable for
her to do that!"
Waynie Xu was frustrated and she looked at Teneria Xia, "But I had always treated her like my own
daughter!"
"If that was true, why did you say something like that!?"
The moment Waynie Xu heard that, she was stunned and her eyes reddened, "I panicked and was in
distress!" After that, Annabelle Xia left them and she was remorseful. She blamed herself for saying
something like that.
After all, she had loved Annabelle Xia with all her heart since she was a little baby.
She was contended with his son and daughter. If it wasn't for something so dire happening to Ralphy
Xia, she wouldn't have said something like that…
Teneria Xia didn't blame his wife. After all, he was just as desperate to save his son…
The two of them were quiet after that.
After staring at the picture on the magazine for a long time, Waynie Xu said, "Teneria Xia, let's go visit
her!"
Teneria Xia raised his head and looked at Waynie Xu in puzzlement.
"Although she wasn't our real daughter, and what happened for the past year had caused a crack in our
relationship, we were the ones that brought her up. It wasn't too much for us to pay a visit!"
What Waynie Xu said carried some sense.
Teneria Xia nodded, "Then Ralphy…"
"Just the two of us!"
Teneria Xia nodded. It just wasn't appropriate for Ralphy Xia to follow.
After they made up their minds, they decided to depart right away.
Annabelle Xia did not receive a call from Teneria Xia because she had stopped using her old number
from one year ago. Teneria Xia called the Mu family and asked them to relay his message.
Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia supportively. The man had been expecting this day.
"How was it? Do you want to see them?" No matter what Annabelle Xia's decision was, Alistair Mu
would support her without question.
If she agrees, he would accompany her to meet them.
If she decided otherwise, then he wouldn't let them appear in front of her for the rest of their life.
After some contemplation, Annabelle Xia nodded, "Yes!"
"After all, they are my parents. I can't be avoiding them forever!" Annabelle Xia said indifferently. Her
eyes were serene and clear.
Alistair Mu didn't ask questions and simply said supportively, "Okay, I will accompany you!"
Annabelle Xia smiled back at him.
They would need to face this eventually. She couldn't hide forever.
That just wasn't fair for everyone.
When she thought about that, she breathed a sigh of relief.\
On the other side.
Ralphy Xia was in the president's office of Xia Group. He had a great conflict in his eyes as he was
staring at the magazine in front of him fanatically. How could he not know something so huge
happened?
Although Alistair Mu had given instructions to suppress the news, Jerry Kuang ignored him and gave
him the front cover.
The family portrait was just eye catchy.
Especially when Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu stood together. The man was drop dead dashing and
the woman was beautiful. They were holding the heir to Yun Rui… Even if they wanted to lay low, it just
wasn't possible.
Annabelle Xia, you finally came back…
But the man felt that everything about that woman was far away from him.
Annabelle Xia looked almost the same from the picture. Yet, she had become a complete stranger, so
much that he didn't dare to even appear in her sight.
The man was just filled with grief and remorse.
Thankfully she was safe for the past year.
As the man learnt about that, he rested his heart…
He looked at the picture and didn't know what to do.
He could finally drop all of his effort to look for her. But all of a sudden, he felt a hollow in his heart…
