My Killing President novel Chapter 685

As the man saw her gesture of touching her stomach, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

Annabelle shook her head, "I simply felt fearful. Now that I think of it, if anything were to happen to the child, there was just nothing I could do to make amends!"

When Alistair heard that, he smiled heartily, "Now that you know it, I can be more restful!"

Annabelle looked at him, "It was an emergency that time and I didn't even have the chance to think straight. I hadn't expected Antonio Lu to go that far!"

"No matter what, please promise me that you will always protect yourself and prioritize your own safety!" He said solemnly.

Annabelle nodded meekly, "Okay!"

The couple continued to talk for a while. As it was getting late, Alistair looked at her and said, "Okay, it's getting late now. Do rest earlier. You still need to do a checkup tomorrow!"

Annabelle didn't say anything. She nodded and lied down.

Alistair helped to tuck her in and walked to the couch at the side.

When Annabelle lied down and saw his tall figure curling up uncomfortably on the couch, she felt edgy just by looking at him.

"Why not you lie down here with me?" Annabelle offered.

Alistair looked at her.

The woman moved aside to give him space. As she gestured Alistair to come over, he did not decline and got up to walk over to her bed.

Fortunately, the bed wasn't small and it was spacious enough for the two of them. However, Alistair made sure to rest as close to the corner as possible. He was afraid that he might press on Annabelle's wound.

"I'm fine, it's quite spacious!" Annabelle said.

Alistair moved closer and kissed her forehead, "Okay, rest earlier. Good night!"

"Good night!"

After saying that, the two of them closed their eyes and went to sleep. Alistair had been careful with his position and he was afraid to press on Annabelle or touch her wound. Therefore, he didn't even dare to move a muscle.

Nancy stood outside their door for a long, long while. She wanted to knock on the door but she just couldn't muster the courage to do that. After a long while, she left and went back to her room.

The next day, Alistair woke up during the dusk. He was afraid that Annabelle might not be able to sleep comfortably so he woke up early. When he saw that she was still sleeping, he went to buy her breakfast.

Not long after he left, Annabelle woke up.

At that time, her door was knocked.

"Come in!" She said.

And the door was pushed open lightly.

The moment Annabelle saw who came in, she was stunned.

Nancy raised her gaze and looked at Annabelle, "I wish to talk to you!"

"Have a seat!"

Nancy walked over and sat by Annabelle bed side, "I want to thank you!" Although she was unwilling to give up, she came to a realization.

Now that she thanked Annabelle so wholeheartedly, the woman was just not used to it. She stared at Nancy and didn't say anything. Nancy looked back at her and said, "I hadn't expected you to sacrifice yourself to save me!"

"You don't have to thank me. Because I didn't do it for you. Now I just want to know that after you ran out, did you get Alistair to save me?"

Nancy was shocked to hear that and she looked her in the eyes, "Of course! Although I didn't like you, I wasn't such a bad person!" Nancy said.

When Annabelle saw how anxious she was, she knew she wasn't lying. Annabelle smiled gently, "That is enough!"

Nancy frowned and she found it difficult to believe, "You don't blame me?"

"Why should I blame you?"

"I ditched you and ran away myself…" Although Nancy knew she did wrong, she was willing to own up. She spoke in soft voice due to embarrassment.

"It is only normal for anyone to run away. Moreover, if you didn't, I wouldn't be here now. Probably the both of us would get into trouble!" Annabelle said softly.

Nancy looked at Annabelle intently. At that moment, she understood something.

She stared at Annabelle for a long while and didn't know what to say.

After that, she smiled, "I think I am beginning to understand why Alistair likes you!"

Annabelle didn't understand her and she raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

"It's nothing." Nancy said. After that, she looked at Annabelle with clear eyes, "I will be responsible for what I did!"

Annabelle frowned as she looked at her, "What do you want to do?"

Nancy smiled, "Don't worry. I will not be doing anything!"

Annabelle was just perturbed by her actions. When Annabelle still wanted to say something, the door was opened suddenly and Alistair walked inside.

When he saw Nancy sitting on Annabelle's bedside, he showed no expression.

Nancy stood up immediately and looked at him, "Alistair!"

"What are you doing here?" Alistair walked over and put the breakfast on the table.

Although he didn't scold Nancy, his cold attitude was even more hurtful to Nancy.

"Nothing at all. Sister Annabelle, I shall go back first!" After saying that, she turned around and left the room.

When Annabelle looked at Nancy, she felt piteous.

She was like a child that made a mistake but too afraid to speak up.

After Nancy walked out, Annabelle looked at Alistair and asked, "What's gotten into you?"

"What you mean by that?" Alistair was asking the obvious.

"Are you blaming Nancy?"

"No." He said indifferently but he didn't make eye contact.

But his cold attitude gave him away.

"Now that I think of it, Nancy is just like a child!" Annabelle said.

After Alistair was done preparing breakfast, he brought it over to Annabelle. Annabelle took it over and wanted to eat her porridge. However, she noticed that she was unable to raise one of her hand.

Alistair had neglected that.

"Let me!" He took the bowl from Annabelle's hand carefully. After that, he blew it gently to cool it down and fed Annabelle.

Annabelle was enjoying that kind of pamper. She simply needed to open her mouth.

"What did she tell you?"

"She came to thank me!"

Annabelle noticed a surprised look on Alistair's face. But both of them didn't say anything after that.

Since Alistair was reluctant to say anything, Annabelle simply let the topic slide.

After the breakfast, Teneria and Waynie dropped by. After that, the grandmother and madam Mu. And finally, Covi and Dorie. In the end, the ward was lively like the market.

Dorie managed to make time in her busy schedule.

"Annabelle, why are you admitted again?"

Annabelle simply smiled helplessly, "Just my luck this year!"

"What about my nephew?" Dorie asked.

Annabelle broke into a laughter. Her child just got another random relative…

"He is fine!" Annabelle said.

Dorie was relieved after hearing that, "Let's go to the temple after you are discharged!"

Annabelle laughed, "Since when are you a believer?"

"I have no choice. Try and count it yourself, how many times have you got admitted this year?"

Annabelle had lost count already…

"Aren't you busy? How can you sneak out at such a time?"

"When Su and I heard that you got into trouble, we wanted to come. However, he is currently in a tight training schedule and he couldn't make it. Therefore, I'm here as representative!" Dorie said.

"It seems like Su will be appearing in TV in no time!"

The moment she mentioned Su, Dorie couldn't help but blush. Now that the man had professional make-up artist and designer brushing him up, he looked even more dashing now.

The woman simply smiled and didn't continue the topic, "He will come and visit you after he is done with his training!"

Annabelle nodded with a smile.

At that time, Dorie looked towards Alistair, "Mr. Mu, I thought you promised to protect my Annabelle?"

"I am the one to blame this time!"

"What about the wedding ceremony next month?" Dorie asked.

When they heard that, the couple looked at each other. They had completely forgotten about this.

However, Annabelle cheered, "We will do it as per schedule!"

"What about your wound!?"

"It shouldn't be much of a problem. My bones aren't injured and it will heal in no time!"

"Will it leave a scar?" Dorie asked.

That seemed to be a question of concern!

After hearing that, Covi hurriedly added, "It shouldn't be. It will definitely heal!"

They thought Annabelle would be troubled. However, the woman simply chuckled, "Just let it be then. There is nothing I can do. Since it's not on the face, it wouldn't affect the wedding!"

Dorie's jaw dropped. Annabelle was truly a different breed of woman!

If she hadn't known her for so long and so well, she might even suspect Annabelle was a man in woman's body!

It was truly intriguing to understand such a manly woman.

However, that was definitely for the best. If she were to be troubled and sad because of that, it would be conflicting to her personality.
