My Killing President

Chapter 745 Father

Ten o'clock in the night.

The president's office in the Xia Group was brightly lit.

At that time, the door was pushed open suddenly.

Ralphy Xia was sitting behind his desk. When he heard the noise, he raised his head. But the moment

he saw the person by the door, he was stunned.

"Brother!"

Annabelle Xia appeared by the doorstep.

Ralphy Xia's eyes were surprised for a little while and he said, "What are you doing here?"

Annabelle Xia walked inside and looked at him, "I'm here to look for you!"

"Have a seat!"

Annabelle Xia looked at him and walked over to his side. She grabbed his hand up. Ralphy Xia wanted

to evade instinctively but Annabelle Xia managed to grab him.

When she saw that Ralphy Xia's arm had a burnt mark, she was stunned.

"Why didn't you stay back in the hospital?"

Ralphy Xia pulled his arm back and said, "It's nothing, just a small wound!"

"Small wound?" Annabelle Xia didn't know what to say. When they escaped the building, she saw the

pillar falling on him clearly.

The woman walked away and she was familiar with the man's office. She tiptoed and got a first aid kit

from the top of the cabinet.

Although it had been quite a long time since she last went there, she could still remember the

arrangements in his office. Nothing had changed for the past year.

The woman carried the first aid kit back to the table. Ralphy Xia looked at her with a frown but he said

nothing.

Annabelle Xia grabbed his arm and put it on the table. After that, she took up a cotton and started to

clean his wound.

After she was done, she applied a disinfecting cream.

Ralphy Xia did not make a noise even though it was painful. The man simply waited as Annabelle Xia

bandaged him.

"Since when had you learn to do all these?"

"This is just survival skills I picked up after living alone!" Annabelle Xia said.

Ralphy Xia did not talk anymore.

After Annabelle Xia was done, she said, "This is not enough. It is best for you to go check it out in the

hospital!"

Ralphy Xia nodded.

Annabelle Xia put everything back into the first aid kit and looked at Ralphy Xia, "Brother, thank you so

much for earlier!"

"Thank you for saving me and Alistair. I will never forget this!"

"If you are simply here to thank me, there is no need for that!"

Annabelle Xia looked at him and continued, "Bro, I do not know why you hate Alistair so much and I do

not want to know. But one year had passed, I hope we can all let go of the past!"

Ralphy Xia bit his lips and didn't say anything. The man simply averted his eyes outside the window.

"We are one family. And I hope that we can stay together happily like one!" Annabelle Xia said.

Ralphy Xia lifted his glass of wine and wanted to drink. But when Annabelle Xia saw that, she snatched

it over from him.

The man's eyebrows knitted closely as he looked at Annabelle Xia.

"You are injured, you shouldn't drink!"

Ralphy Xia just didn't know what to do. He had a grim expression and said nothing.

"Actually, I could tell that when you saved Alistair today, you have already let go of the past. Isn't it?" This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Annabelle Xia looked at him and asked. She had no doubt about that at all.

Ever since the sister came back, she dreaded to meet Ralphy Xia. Because she was afraid that it

wasn't fair to Alistair Mu.

If it wasn't for what happened earlier, Annabelle Xia wouldn't meet up with Ralphy Xia at all.

But with what happened, she simply couldn't ignore him anymore.

Ralphy Xia didn't say anything and remained silent all the time.

When Annabelle Xia saw that he wasn't willing to talk, she said, "Since you don't want to talk, forget it. I

will leave now!" After saying that, Annabelle Xia got up and wanted to leave.

Ralphy Xia looked at her back and he just couldn't describe his feelings. In the end, he called out, "Wait

a while!"

Annabelle Xia stood by the door and turned her head back to look at him.

Ralphy Xia stood up and looked at her, "Tell Alistair Mu, everything between me and him is in the past.

From hereby onwards, we wipe the slate clean!"

Annabelle Xia looked at him and a most hearty smile blossomed on her face, "Okay, I understand!"

"And…" Ralphy Xia seemed to be hesitant. It looked as if the man wanted to say something but he was

embarrassed.

Annabelle Xia looked at him and her eyes were gleaming like the night stars, as she waited for his

following words.

"Annabelle, sorry…" Ralphy Xia said.

This time round, Annabelle Xia was silent. She simply looked at Ralphy Xia and waited for him to

continue.

"I have wronged you too much. One year ago… I had never thought that you would leave because of

what I did… There is so much more. I had made so many mistakes. But you don't have to worry

anymore. From now onwards, I will treat you like a sister wholeheartedly. It doesn't matter who bullies

you, I will teach him a lesson as your brother!" Ralphy Xia said.

"And please relay my message to Alistair Mu. If he dares to let you down, I still wouldn't let him off

easily!"

"Bro…" Annabelle Xia's eyes were misty.

"Therefore, Annabelle, please forgive me. Please forgive this brother for everything I had done!"

Annabelle Xia shook her head, "I have never blamed you. I will always remember who was the one that

protected me when I got bullied when I was little; the person that got punished in my place after I

created trouble; the person that safeguarded by my side all the time when I was sick… Bro, I have

never forgotten any of that…" Annabelle Xia looked at him as her tears welled up. All of the sudden,

she felt that they had went back to the way it was when they were little.

Ralphy Xia had gone back to being the brother that protected her against the world.

When Ralphy Xia heard that, his lips curled up, "I never expected you to remember all of that!"

"Of course I will remember that. And I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"

Ralphy Xia smiled heartily and he looked at the wine on his table, "Do you want to have a drink with

me?"

"But you are wounded. You shouldn't drink!"

"Just a little bit?"

"Okay then!"

The brother and sister looked at each other and giggled.

Most of the time, it wasn't that one couldn't let go. But the time isn't right to let go.

Ralphy Xia knew that it was time for him to let go already.

……

When Ralphy Xia entered the house, he saw that the lights in the living room were still on.

"Mom? Why are you still awake at this hour?" Ralphy Xia looked at his mother and asked. Waynie Xu

would rarely stay up so late.

Could she be waiting for him?

Waynie Xu stood up and said, "I was waiting for you.

"Waiting for me?"

Waynie Xu nodded, "Come over here!"

Ralphy Xia walked towards the mother slowly.

"Let mum have a look and see if you are injured anywhere!" Waynie Xu looked at him and said.

For the past year, Ralphy Xia had been trying to avoid direct confrontation. He would be coming home

very late every night and leaving the house very early in the morning. If they were to have dinner

together, he would be as quiet as possible. The mother knew that too many things were troubling her

son.

But what happened today was a big deal and she was just too worried.

"Mom, I'm fine. You don't have to worry!" Ralphy Xia looked at her and asked.

"Are you really all right?" Annabelle Xia grabbed his arm and asked worriedly.

"Really!" Ralphy Xia held Waynie Xu's hand firmly and smiled at her, "Mom, don't worry. I will take care

of myself properly. If there's anything, I will definitely do a checkup in the hospital!"

After the mother heard Ralphy Xia, she rested her heart. However, she noticed that something was

different.

Did her son just smiled at her?

Waynie Xu was stunned and she thought that she had seen wrongly, "Ralphy, you…"

"Mum, it is pretty late now. You should rest already!"

"But you…"

The mother felt that Ralphy Xia was different. But she couldn't tell how and where.

"Mom, I have made you worry for the past year. But please rest assured. From now onwards, I will not

do anything that worries you anymore!"

"You…" Waynie Xu was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. For the past year, Ralphy Xia

hadn't been talking to her properly at all. And now, the son was speaking to her so lengthily and gently.

"Really?"

Ralphy Xia nodded affirmatively, "Okay, get some rest. I look forward to your breakfast tomorrow!"

The moment Waynie Xu heard that, she was simply elated. The mother nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay!"

Ralphy Xia smiled, "All right now, rest well and good night!" Ralphy Xia hugged his mother.

"Good night!"

And Waynie Xu went back to her room.

Even after she got into her room, the mother was still a little in shock.

When Teneria Xia saw her, he raised his gaze from his book and looked at her, "Is Ralphy back?"

"Yeah…" Waynie Xu nodded.

When Teneria Xia saw the wife's abnormal expression, he asked, "What's gotten into you?"

Waynie Xu came back to her senses. She looked at Teneria Xia and hurried to the bed and told him

everything.

"Teneria Xia, do you think Ralphy is different now?" Waynie Xu asked.

After Teneria Xia heard that, he couldn't help but exhaled a big breath, "Yes… I believe he had let go!"

"What do you mean?"

"He had always hated Alistair Mu. But after that he found out that we were the one responsible for what

happened between him and Renee. And after that, he was in denial and couldn't accept the truth. After

what happened today… He finally dropped his burden!"

"Something like that… Really?!" Waynie Xu asked in disbelief. If that was the case, it was just great!

Teneria Xia nodded, "Hopefully after what happened, he has finally let go and it wasn't just temporary.

"No, he won't. He told me he wanted to taste the breakfast I make tomorrow. It had been so long since

he last ate with us!" The mother said excitedly and her eyes reddened.

Teneria Xia tapped on her shoulder, "All right now, now that everything is going great, you shouldn't

cry!"

"I am just too happy!" Waynie Xu said, "Now that Annabelle is back and Ralphy managed to get out

from his own shackles, our family can finally go back to the way it was!"

Teneria Xia smiled, "Okay, let's hurry and sleep. I am looking forward to your breakfast as well, it had

been so long since you last made it!"

When Waynie Xu heard that, she tapped on his shoulder and laughed, "Okay, let's hurry and sleep!"

"Okay!"

Right after they lied down, Waynie Xu recalled something all of a sudden and she said, "By the way,

Teneria Xia, there is one more thing!"

"What is it?"

"Do you think that it's possible for Kaleb Hua to be Annabelle's real father?" Waynie Xu asked.

When Teneria Xia heard that, he turned his head towards her, "Are you referring to the president of

Rong Le Group, Kaleb Hua?"

Waynie Xu nodded, "I heard that the man had helped Annabelle greatly and he even transfused his

blood for her. The way he treated Annabelle was definitely different and abnormal… Do you think he

might just be her father?"

When Teneria Xia heard that, he combed back his memory as well. The more he thought about that,

the more he was agreeable with his wife.

"I think so too!"

"You think we should tell Annabelle this?" Waynie Xu asked.

Previously, the parents were afraid that someone else would take their dearest daughter away. But

now, they changed their mind. Too many things had changed for the past year and they knew

Annabelle Xia wasn't someone like that. Now it just didn't feel right to hide it from Annabelle Xia.

Teneria Xia contemplated for a while and said, "Let's not be hasty. If it is really Kaleb Hua, they must be

some reason for him to stay quiet. I believe Alistair knows about this as well and let's decide after I talk

to him!"

Waynie Xu nodded as well.

"Let's sleep!"

"Okay!"

……

One week later, Alistair Mu was almost completely recovered.

The grandmother looked at them and shook her head, "The two of you are just worrying. Look at how

many things had happened already!"

Annabelle Xia looked at her and said, "Sorry for worrying you!"

"Don't worry about us. The most important thing is that the two of you are safe. I heard that director Lee

was apprehended and I hadn't thought he would go that far!" The grandmother said. When she found

out what happened, she was just fearful.

"Yeah, I heard about it as well!"

"I heard that it was Kaleb Hua's men that found him and delivered him to the police station!" The

grandmother said.

The moment Alistair Mu heard that name, he felt that there was something he should do. And the man

nodded, "Yeah!"

"Wow, that man looked intimidating but he was actually quite a nice person!" The grandmother said, "If

my memory serves me right, this isn't the first time he helped the two of you. I remembered that time

when Annabelle Xia got hospitalized, he was the one that transfused his blood for Annabelle, right?"

The grandmother asked.

The moment Annabelle Xia heard that, she was stunned, "Transfused blood? What happened?" She

looked at Alistair Mu in puzzlement.

Alistair Mu simply smiled at Annabelle Xia and didn't make any explanation. He looked at the

grandmother and nodded, "Yes, he did that!"

"The two of you should make time to visit him and show your gratitude!"

"We most certainly will!" Alistair Mu nodded.

It seemed that Annabelle Xia was the only one that didn't know what happened.

At that time, madam Mu carried Shi Guang and said, "You know that when the two of you got into

trouble, Shi Guang was just crying so hard and no matter what we do, we couldn't calm him down. I

have never seen him acting that way. Now that I think of it, he must have felt a connection to his

parents!"

When Annabelle Xia heard Madam Mu, she carried Shi Guang and kissed him gently. During the times

of danger, she just wasn't in her straight mind. Even when Alistair Mu told her to leave for Shi Guang's

sake, she just couldn't do it. She couldn't leave Alistair Mu behind and escaped. Now that she casted

her memory back, she felt a burdening guilt.

Alistair Mu could tell Annabelle Xia's thought and he said, "Okay now. Mom, grandma, please help us

to take care of Shi Guang. I will go out with Annabelle!"

"Go out? Where are you going? You still haven't recovered!" Madam Mu asked.

"My wound is pretty much fine now. We have something important and we will be back soon!"

The mother nodded, "All right then, come back earlier!"

"We will!"

Alistair Mu nodded and he grabbed Annabelle Xia's hand and walked outside.

"Hey, where are you bringing me?" Annabelle Xia asked.

"You will know later!"

When Annabelle Xia got into the car, she looked at Alistair Mu and said, "Do you have something to tell

me?"

When Alistair Mu heard that, he contemplated for a while and said, "Annabelle, actually I have two

things to tell you and they are very important!"

"But I hope that after you hear it, you are able to calm down first!"

When Annabelle Xia saw his solemn attitude, she nodded, "Okay!"

"Actually, when you got hospitalized previously, there were some complication in your surgery and you

needed blood urgently. Your blood type was just too rare the hospital's storage didn't have it. It was

Kaleb Hua that transfused his blood for you!" Alistair Mu said.

"He… He did that!?" Annabelle Xia exclaimed.

Alistair Mu nodded.

Annabelle Xia's face tensed up as she looked at Alistair Mu. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes

were flickering and Alistair Mu knew she was troubled.

She was thinking hard.

Too many coincidences had encircled that man.

"And? What about the other matter?" Annabelle Xia looked at him and asked.

"About that…" Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia with a troubled expression. Teneria Xia had looked

for him a few days ago and mentioned that to him. Probably it was time to tell her already.

"Just say it, I can take it!" Annabelle Xia said.

Alistair Mu looked at her. He drew a deep breath and said very slowly, "Kaleb Hua… is your father!"

When Annabelle Xia heard that, she had no reaction but she simply stared back at Alistair Mu.

"Dawson Xiao is your mother and my father had taken care of her in the past. He was the only person

that knew what happened, that you were left in the Xia family. That was the reason he insisted for me

to marry you!"

"I didn't know about this previously. But too many coincidences had happened and I began to suspect

that possibility. One year ago, I went to confront him and he admitted it…"

Annabelle Xia simply reclined to her seat and she showed no expression.

Actually, it would be a lie if she were to say that she had no clue. She was such a smart woman and it

was just normal for her to have suspicion. Especially when she saw the picture of Dawson Xiao, the

story of his tattoo and the feelings she had when she spent time with him…

Everything was just different and even magical.

Probably that special feeling was what they refer to as blood ties…

Annabelle Xia had always wondered about it. But at the same time, she never wanted to ask for any

affirmation. Because she didn't dare to.

But now, the truth confronted her.

"Annabelle, I was afraid you couldn't take it and I didn't tell you earlier. But now, I think you are ready

and the time is right!" Alistair Mu said.

Annabelle Xia simply sat quietly and gave no response.

When Alistair Mu saw that she remained quiet for a long time, he looked at her and asked, "Are you

okay?"

"I'm fine." Annabelle Xia nodded.

Alistair Mu stretched out his hand and held hers, "Maybe he made a mistake in the past. But after all

these years, he hadn't remarry and he had never give up to look for your mother… However it may be,

it is all in the past!"

Annabelle Xia looked at Alistair Mu and her gaze seemed lost and hollow. She just didn't know what to

say.
