My Killing President novel Chapter 686

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.
