She suddenly realized something as she fondly looked at her worried daughter. "You ran away from home because you were scared that I might be angry at your pregnancy?"
Janet silently nodded.
...
"You were actually thinking that I would ask you to have an abortion?"
She nodded again.
Ella touched her temples, distressed. What a foolish girl she was!
"How could you ever think of something like this! Of course, I would have been a little mad at first, but after all, I am your mother, and I would have looked after you at all times and made sure that you delivered the babies safe!" Ella sobbed as she was blaming herself for being too harsh with her daughter, and she wondered if this had had something to do with Janet's actions.
Janet walked up to her mother and held her tightly in her arms, and said, "Mum, you should have told me so!" Tears then came flowing down her cheeks.
Gently stroking Janet's head, Ella smiled with eyes filled with tears. "Silly girl, I would never have asked you to have an abortion. You really think that your mother is that mean?"
When she saw that her daughter was dating Daniel, she had already thought that maybe one day her daughter might end up having a short gun wedding.
However, things turned out completely different from what she had imagined them would be, and the two of them broke up, and she ended up becoming a single mother.
"Mom, Michelle is now in Z Country, and Caspar is looking after her for me. The Qiao family have many family members who are fond of twins. Don't worry, they are all very nice to them." The Qiao family had association with the Tianye Men, but they were kind people in nature, and were always nice to their own family and friends.
After giving birth to the twins, Janet had lost all of her memories. Caspar had told her that she was actually the chairwoman of Tianye Men. She was shocked at the news but she believed him.
Since then, she had gradually recovered some of her memories, but she still didn't have a clue to what she had to do. Deep down inside, she felt that she was obliged to give the commanding power back to Caspar.
"Please invite Caspar to C Country. Your father and I would like to thank him in person."
Janet nodded; she owed Caspar big time, and it wasn't a debt that could easily be repaid with mere cash.
When she thought of that, Janet stepped away from Ella, and simply said, "Mum, I still need to go to Z Country tomorrow. I need to hide from Daniel for a while."
Ella was confused at her sudden decision.
"He refuses to let me see my child, and I would never give Melissa to him, for nothing in this world!"
"You don't need to hide from him, let your father handle this. Your god father and god mother could also help. Daniel would never dare forbid you from seeing your child!"
Janet shook her head. "You don't know him as well as I do. You can't reach a consensus with him, and If he takes away the child and hides her somewhere, there'll be little that we could do about it."
"Will he hide her for a lifetime?" Ella pointed out the irony for her.
Janet lowered her head and thought for a second. She then said, "I'll hide away from him for now on. Things will get a lot more easier once he forgets about the whole incident."
Ella looked at her daughter and she was shocked by her decision. Her point of view was way too naive to have!
Daniel was not some sort of simple minded person that she could trick!
Early next morning, Janet took her daughter back to Z Country on her private jet.
When Daniel arrived at the old house to pick up his daughter, Janet was already long gone.
Daniel was no longer seen as being guilty by the rest of the family members. However, Janet was still mad with him, and didn't trust him, but Samuel now had a much better view on Daniel.
"Daniel, she'll be back. You don't need to be over-stressed about it."
Daniel took a long drag out of his cigarette, and nodded, "She won't be able to run away from me!"
He then took off with his men, and this time he meant real business. As soon as he returned to his company, he told Spark in a very serious manner, "Tell them to find Janet asap, otherwise they'll all get sacked!"
He wouldn't believe that Janet would literally disappear into thin air!
This time, she had not only ran away, but had also took their daughter along with her! Daniel was truly crossed by her behaviour!
At the Qiao's villa
Janet brought Melissa to the house. Caspar had already learned of her return, and thus returned home earlier than usual.
"How's everything going?" he asked. Caspar held the sleeping Melissa in his arms and gently rocked her to sweet dreams.
Janet smiled, and said, "My family has already forgiven me!"
Caspar cast a gentle glance at her, and softly asked, "Their father is getting married, isn't he?"
