My Killing President

After waiting outside the operation theatre for about three hours.

The lights on the door dimmed.

The doctor came out from inside and Annabelle Xia, Hua and Alistair Mu hurried towards him.

"Doctor, how is he?"

"Doctor, how was it?"

Hua and Annabelle Xia asked simultaneously.

The doctor removed his surgical mask and looked at them, "It is a great success!"

When Annabelle Xia and Hua heard that, they were relieved.

"Thank you so much, doctor! Thank you!"

"You are most welcome. I am just simply doing my job. But you must pay extra heed. Although the surgery is a success, we should be careful for any possible signs and symptoms of transplant rejection. And after that, we can celebrate the success!" "And... What if there is a transplant rejection?" Hua asked worriedly.

"According to our examination, the organs are a close match of about eighty percent. But nothing is for sure and a rejection is still possible... I hope you guys can be prepared. The next forty-eight hours are the most crucial time. If there isn't any rejection, it means the transplant is a success!"

In another word, the success of the surgery did not guarantee Kaleb Hua's survival. It still depend on how the organ reacts.

Annabelle Xia looked at Hua and said solemnly, "He will definitely be fine!"

Hua nodded.

"He will be transferred to the normal ward in a few minutes. You guys can go visit him over there!"

"Thank you, doctor!"

After the doctor left, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

Alistair Mu stood behind his wife and held her hand, "God had arranged for us thus far, I believe He will definitely help us get through this! Don't worry!"

Annabelle Xia looked at Alistair Mu and nodded.

The three person went to the ward.

Kaleb Hua was lying in bed and his eyes were shut. It seemed that he was just sleeping.

"He looks good!" Alistair Mu said.

Annabelle Xia nodded. All of a sudden, she recalled something and looked at Alistair Mu, "Now that the surgery is a success, you should go back and take a shower and get changed. You have been completely exhausted from your hectic schedule!" "But... I just can't leave you alone here..."

"Miss Xia, why not the two of you go back first? It is quite late already and I will be staying up to take care of him. If there is any update, I will call the two of you!" Hua looked at them and said.

As he saw Alistair Mu and Annabelle Xia accompanied Kaleb Hua throughout his surgery, the man was completely moved.

He hadn't expected Alistair Mu to do so much and at the same time, he felt fortunate that Annabelle Xia found a virtuous and loving man.

Annabelle Xia contemplated for a while and nodded, "All right, I will be back soon. At make sure you call me if anything happens!" Hua nodded.

So Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu left the hospital.

Although she was worried for Kaleb Hua, she was concerned about Alistair Mu at the same time as well. The man had been overwhelmed with work lately and he hadn't got much sleep. Not only that, he personally went to B city and brought back a matching heart for Kaleb Hua. The man had pulled off a miraculous stunt all for her sake. She was just moved and overwhelmed.

After the couple went back, Alistair Mu went to take a shower right away while Annabelle Xia waited for him.

At that time, her phone rang.

It was from Hua.

Annabelle Xia answered it right away, "Hua, anything happened?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Miss Xia, I simply want to tell you that it is pretty late now and everything is fine over here. The two of you can just come here tomorrow morning!"

"Is everything really fine?" Annabelle Xia said.

"Yes!" Hua answered.

Annabelle Xia nodded, "Okay!"

After a simple conversation, they ended the call.

At that time, Alistair Mu just finished his shower and he came out from the bathroom, "How was it? Is everything okay?" Alistair Mu asked.

Annabelle Xia nodded and brought him a cup of hot ginger tea, "Drink this!"

"What is this?"

"Ginger tea. Auntie Li made it for you, it will replenish your energy!"

"I am completely fine. You don't have to worry!"

"Just.drink.it!"

Annabelle Xia was uncompromising and she just wouldn't let Alistair Mu go before finishing the cup of tea.

Alistair Mu shook his head with a laugh and finished it.

When Annabelle Xia saw that he finished it, she rested her heart. When she wanted to walk away, Alistair Mu stretched out his hand and grabbed her.

"Do whatever you want to do tomorrow, I'm tired, come sleep with me!"

Annabelle Xia looked at him and nodded. The couple lied in the bed and Annabelle Xia leaned on Alistair Mu. The two of them didn't speak and simply shut their eyes to rest.

"Don't worry, he will definitely be fine..." Alistair Mu mumbled. Annabelle Xia raised her head and wanted to say something. But she noticed that Alistair Mu had already fallen asleep.

It was a full moon that night. The unblended, silver moonlight sneaked in from the French window and brought a silent gentleness to the room.

Alistair Mu was sleeping shirtless while hugging her. As the air conditioner was on, the air was a little chilly but he was sleeping restfully.

For the past week, the man had hardly slept at all, bustling everywhere for her sake. He could finally get a shut eye now.

Annabelle Xia looked at him with their sincerest gratitude.

She carefully moved his arms away from her and got down the bed. After that, she adjusted the temperature in the room and made it more comfortable for the man. After that, Annabelle Xia's lips curled up in contentment and she went back to the bed and hugged Alistair Mu. The woman could finally sleep restfully as well.

......

The next day.

Annabelle Xia went to the hospital early in the morning. The moment she reached, Kaleb Hua was already awake.

The man had a healthy color on his skin.

The moment Annabelle Xia went inside and saw Kaleb Hua, she was stunned.

"Dad?"

"Annabelle, you are here!" Kaleb Hua was still having a little difficulty to speak after his heart surgery.

"You, you are getting up already? Are you feeling all right?" Annabelle Xia looked at Kaleb Hua and said.

"Don't I look healthy as a bull?" Kaleb Hua said jovially. Although he was struggling a little, he wanted to talk to his daughter very much.

"Okay, stop talking for now. Hurry and lie down and rest!" After saying that, she looked at Hua, "What did the doctor say?"

Hua came forward and said, "The doctor just left and he said that Brother Kaleb's condition is superb. There are no signs of transplant rejection. And now, as long as we keep his body healthy and rejuvenated, he will be fine!"

Annabelle Xia smiled heartily.

That was such a good news!

Alistair Mu smiled as well, "We are just happy to hear that!"

"President Mu, I am so grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Brother Kaleb..." Hua continued, "Thank you for saving Brother Kaleb. It meant more than saving my life. If you need me at all in the future, just say the word and I will gladly lay down my life for you!" Alistair Mu's lips curled up mirthfully, "Dad just recovered and you want to lay down your life? I don't need you to do that, just take good care of dad!"

Hua nodded hurriedly.

Kaleb Hua looked at them and his eyes were twinkling in joy. He was the first time the man experienced such companionship and family affection. He smiled restfully.

"I have heard everything from Hua. Alistair, thank you for everything!"

"Dad, you don't have to be so reserved. This is what I should do!" As Alistair Mu said that, he looked at Annabelle Xia lovingly.

When the father saw how much they were in love, he was restful.

Annabelle Xia had gotten used to Alistair Mu's cosset and public display of affection already. She simply ignored the man and looked at Kaleb Hua, "Dad, from today onwards, you must make sure to rest amply and take good care of your body like what the doctors instructed. Can you promise me that?"

Kaleb Hua nodded, "Okay, I will listen to everything you say!"

The moment Annabelle Xia heard that, she felt a little awkward but she broke into a laughter and nodded.

The happy times passed quickly.

Kaleb Hua did not show any sign of organ rejection. After resting for several days, he was back to pink health.

The man could be discharged already. However, he was advised strongly do not do any vigorous exercise. Kaleb Hua had no complaint and he was completely thankful.

One day, Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu went to visit him.

Kaleb Hua was sitting in the yard when Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu walked towards him.

"Dad, how are you feeling today?" Annabelle Xia asked.

"You guys came! I am feeling much better already. Why just the two of you? Where is my Shi Guang?" Kaleb Hua looked at them and asked.

"He is at home. I will bring him over here tomorrow!"

"Good good. Maybe you can just let him stay here with me, it might be too tiring for him to come back and forth all the time!"

Annabelle Xia, "......"

Shi Guang was just the priced treasure at home. Even the mother had difficulty to get some time to herself.

"I will make sure to bring him here often!"

Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu exchanged a look and the woman said, "Dad, actually I have something to tell you!" "What is it?"

Both Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu sat down beside him as she took out an envelope, "This..."

When Kaleb Hua saw the envelope, he was still smiling, "And this is?" He said as he took it over and took out the content.

Now that Alistair Mu and Annabelle Xia were visiting him so often, the man was in a much cheery mood and even his personality took an optimistic change. He wasn't as serious and stern like before.

"This is mum's information..." The moment Kaleb Hua took it out, Annabelle Xia said that.

And the man's hand stopped in mid air. Annabelle Xia could even see that he was trembling a little.

"What did you say?"

"This is what Alistair Mu found. I

wanted to give it to you earlier but you were admitted. So I decided to wait until you recover!" Annabelle Xia said. She didn't want to tell him the news but Kaleb Hua simply refused to give up to look for Dawson Xiao. Annabelle Xia didn't want him to search for an empty hope, it was just cruel.

In the end, Kaleb Hua took the document and brought it in front of him. After he read the content, he showed the exact same reaction as Annabelle Xia.

Annabelle Xia looked at him and didn't know how to comfort the man, "Dad, it has been many years already..."

"I know..."

After Annabelle Xia said that, Kaleb

Hua wiped the tears of the corner of his eyes. He turned towards

Annabelle Xia and said, ret

gotten any news about her all these years and I have somewhat prepared myself. But as I didn't have a confirmation, I was in denial..."

"Actually, we shouldn't look backwards and think too much." Alistair Mu said.

Kaleb Hua looked at Annabelle Xia and said, "Annabelle, will you blame me?"

"I believe you are much more heartbroken than me. Everyone makes mistakes. Moreover, you made the decision for mum's best interest. I do not think that she blames you!"

"Really?"

"Isn't giving birth to me the best proof?" Annabelle Xia asked back.

When Kaleb Hua heard that, he was stupefied.

The woman could truly speak of wisdom. Because of her word, all those guilt and self-condemnation for the past decades were relieved.

But, Dawson Xiao...

Whenever he thought of that name, he would feel pain in his heart...

"Dad, I'm telling you this because I don't want you to search for her hopelessly, not to hurt you!" Annabelle Xia said.

Kaleb Hua nodded, "I understand!"

"Give me a little time to pick myself back up. I will be fine!"

"But..."

"Just give dad some time." Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia and said.

After Annabelle Xia heard him, she nodded, "All right then, let us visit you tomorrow!"

Kaleb Hua nodded and the young couple left.

Kaleb Hua sat on his swivel chair in the ward, holding the death certificate of the love of his life. His eyes were misty...

Dawson Xiao...

The beautiful name that was scarred in his heart.

Learning of the news made his every breath hurt.

Dawson Xiao, thank you for giving me a daughter, thank you so much...

After Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu came out of the house, the lovers held each other's hand and walked leisurely by the road side.

"Do you have anything to say?" Alistair Mu looked at her and asked.

"Hmm..." Annabelle Xia pondered for a while and said, "I believe dad will definitely be fine!"

"I was thinking the same!" Alistair Mu nodded, "And? I can tell that you have something to tell me!"

Annabelle Xia smiled as she held Alistair Mu's arm, "I feel that I am so much luckier than my mum. And I am more courageous as well!"

"How so?"

"Because I have you, that didn't give up on me no matter what... And no matter what happens from now on, I believe in you. Even if there is a day when you chase me away like how father did, I will never leave you!"

"Really?" Alistair Mu raised an eyebrow and smirked confidently. The man understood his wife more than anyone else.

It was that understanding between them that brought him the most joyous and satisfying relationship.

"Of course!" Annabelle Xia said determinedly.

"You are right. You are truly the lucky one!" As Alistair Mu said that, he held her cheek and kissed her lips...

There was a row of aged sycamore by the roadside, and a couple deeply in love kissing under the shades...

Kaleb Hua gave himself one day to get out from his past. The man had decided to spend all of his attentiveness and care on Annabelle Xia and Shi Guang, so that he could give her the fatherly love he missed all those years.

The next day.

A sunny day in the front yard of Rong's residence.

The Mu and Xia family gathered there and the few house helpers were cooking together. The family sat outside together and was having a good time.

They had a huge picnic carpet on the ground for Shi Guang to play and there were a pile of toys on it. The little boy was just having a great time.

"No way, Shi Guang will not be staying here. I will not be able to sleep without seeing him!" The grandmother said.

"You have spent so many days with him already, it is my turn now!"

"No no no, he should go home already! Kaleb Hua, I thought that you are sick and I let Shi Guang stayed here for so many days! That is more than enough already!" Teneria Xia said.

"This is the grandson of our Mu family!"

"My grandson as well!"

"MY grandson!"

"OUR grandson!"

"Yes, our grandson!"

After sometime, Teneria Xia and Kaleb Hua managed to arrive on an agreeable decision, that the Mu family should not have Shi Guang all to themselves.

The grandfathers were having a good time.

Alistair Mu and Annabelle Xia looked at each other and they were rendered speechless.

They couldn't help but think that Kaleb Hua, Teneria Xia and Mu Zhen were old children fighting for a 'toy'!

And Shi Guang was just stuck between the few old men...

That had become a norm whenever the few families met. Shi Guang was Alistair Mu and Annabelle Xia's son yet they didn't have the chance to spend time with him at all.

However, as the parents so how much fun Shi Guang was having, they were happy as well.

In the end, the grandmother stepped out and gave her final verdict, "Actually, the best solution is to get Annabelle to give birth to 2 more children. And so, each and every house could have one to themselves and we don't need to fight anymore!"

"Good idea!"

"Exactly, it solves all the problem!"

Waynie Xu and madam Mu looked towards Annabelle Xia right away.

Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu were enjoying their time together. When they heard that, they were stunned and they looked to the crowd.

"Grandma, what are you saying!?" Annabelle Xia said.

"Grandma, I have no objection!" Alistair Mu raised his hand immediately.

Right after he said that, Annabelle Xia gave him a huge eye roll, "You can go ahead and give birth yourself!"

"But I need your cooperation as well!"

..." Annabelle Xia gave him a slap to the shoulder and Alistair Mu broke into a laughter.

"But darling, can we just get another daughter?" Alistair Mu looked at her and asked.

"Do you think I can decide on that???" Annabelle Xia turned her head away and continued to eat her food.

Alistair Mu simply chuckled nonchalantly, "No problem. I will make sure to try harder until we get a daughter. It is fine if we have a few more children, since this daddy is able to provide!"

Annabelle Xia, "......"

Was she a factory or what?

However, the woman was tickled and happy to hear that as well...

The families gathered in the front yard of Kaleb's residence. The weather was sunny and the breeze was gentle.

It was lively and cheery and even Shi

Guang was giggling in Mu Zhen's arms. Although he couldn't understand, he could feel the joy in the air. The little boy nibbled on his thumb and babbled in his own words, looking forward to meet his

little sister...

As the resplendent gold of sunlight embraced the place, the joy and contentment of the families were sparkling in the air...

*The End*000000
