Chapter 148 - An Heir!

"Nina, are you fine? You seemed lost in deep thought. Are you worried for Mr. Lin?"Mr. James Thomson asked as they finished with their dinner.

"Yes. I am a little worried."Nina Anderson replied in a low voice. She was still preoccupied with thoughts about her parent's past.

"Nina, you can tell me everything. You need to act hard in front of me. I know that it is not easy for you. You must have gone through a lot your whole life. All the time you must have missed your parents. Now you have got your father suddenly. It must not easy for you."James Thomson said in a worried tone. Nina Anderson replied nothing. She looked away and was lost in thoughts.

"Mr. Thomson, You are right. It is not easy for me to accept all these things. The person whom I hate all my life for abandoning me has suddenly become good and important. Is not it a little weird? I ....I think I am not a good daughter."Nina Anderson said in a thoughtful voice. James Thomson sighed and held her hand.

"Nina, do you know one thing? I think no daughter is bad towards her father. And a daughter is always a princess to her father. So don't overthink about it. You might hate your father in the past, but it was all misunderstanding. Your father was not with you during your childhood. But it was not his fault. He just could not be with you by then.

Now you have got a chance to be with your father. I think you should try to spend more time with him now. He is really worried for you."James Thomson said with a smile.

"But do you think that things are that easy?I heard from Martin that he had to hide his real health condition from Lucy and her mother. Because.......because he suspected them as the real cause behind his current health condition. But do you think that someone can do such a thing? 

I still remember the days when we were in high school. Although we heard some rumors about her that she is not his real daughter, we still envied her. Mr. Lin used to sent a big cake for all of us every year whenever it is her birthday. For the children like me, that cake was a real luxurious thing by then. I wondered that time, how much money must he had to spent on that cake! Although it was not a big thing for a rich person like him, for me it was really a fantasy.

I just wonder how can she even try to make the person sick, who gave her the best life!I am really sorry for my father now. He must have suffered a lot in his life. As a daughter, I could not do anything for him."Nina Anderson said in a sad tone.

"Nina, it is not your fault. You never knew about him. You also suffered your whole life . Your life was also not an easy one. Your grandmother has also done a lot for you."

"Yes,my grandmother tried her whole life to give me comfort and the best education. I still wonder how hard she had to work to pay my school fees at that time. I asked her to transfer me to a smaller school, but she never agreed to that. According to her, I am deserved to read in that school only.

Now,I realize why she had insisted me, study in that school only. She always wanted me to be ready to be a Lin. But I don't understand, why did not she tell me anything about all these. She kept everything inside her. But that .......that day, she wanted to give me a surprise. But ....but she never returned back to me.

I.....I think it was her who called my dad and informed him about my existence. But she got hit by a truck that day itself.I .....I just don't understand how she can get hit by a truck when she was trying to tell him about me. Although I did not tell my father about that thing, I think there is something I still need to know."

"Nina, don't think too much. It will harm you. Even if there is some relationship in between your Grandmother's accident with revealing your identity, You should keep it to yourself for now and wait for the right time."

"No, Mr. Thomson, I just could not stop thinking about that thing. I ......I just could not believe that, it is a coincidence."Nina Anderson said in a  worried tone.

"Nina, whatever it is, no one could stop both of you to meet with each other. So don't overthink about the things, which can harm you. I am still here to see these matters. You can trust me with this thing. You just need to accompany your father now, so that he can get well soon."

"Yes. I think you are right. I should accompany him as much as I can. But I just worried about Lucy and her mother. Both of them still don't know about my existence. I just wonder how would Lucy react, if she would know about me. I think she really hates me.I think she would hate me more now."

"You need not worry about them. But you must be careful. Although they can do nothing to you, they would try to harm you."James Thomson said in a worried tone.

"I don't think that they would try to harm me. But I am worried about my father. If they really tried to make him sick, then they would not stay still after knowing about my existence. I think they would attack him again. "Nina Anderson was looked more worried now.

"Nina, now you are here with your father. So you can easily help him to get rid of all the problems."

"Mr. Thomson,I really want to help my father. But I don't know how to help him.I am not powerful enough to help him. Isn't it?"

"Who said that you need to be powerful to protect your father? But yes, if you want to be powerful enough, I can suggest you with something."James Thomson said in a serious tone.

Nina Anderson stared at him questioningly.

"I think you should join the High clouds Enterprise as his heir."James Thomson said in a calm tone.

Nina Anderson was shocked to hear him. An heir! How can that be possible?

"Are you kidding? How can you say such a thing, when I am speaking some serious things?"Nina Anderson rolled her eyes.

"I am serious about it. You can help your father if you join the company. He already transferred some of his shares in your name. So you should think about it."James Thomson said in a serious tone. Nina Anderson was shocked to hear him.

"Why did he do that? I am really not interested in those things. " Nina Anderson said in a low voice.

"I understand. I will not force you to do so. Although you do not join the company, I will be always with you to help you to protect your father. I just want you to be safe. And about the High clouds Enterprise, I  know that you are not interested in the position, but if you would decide to join them, just let me know.I will help you with this.

"Thank you for understanding me."Nian Anderson said with a smile.

"You need not thank me. You are my family. It is my duty to protect my wife and my father - in - law."James Thomson held her hand and  said with a smile 

"Oh yes.I  forgot to ask you. Why did you lie to my father? Even if he was giving you a hard time, was it necessary to lie to him? You are really unbelievable!"Nina Anderson asked in an angry tone.

"Nina, are you angry?"

"Of course I am angry. How can you lie to him?"

"I did not lie. Why would I lie to him about a serious thing like marriage?"James Thomson asked with a mischievous smile. Nina Anderson stared at him for a moment.

"What is that smile? Are you teasing me?"

"How can I tease you? Are not we already a married couple? Werte not we married legally?When did I lie to him? How can you deny it?"

"Mr. Thomson, are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten that we are already divorced from each other? We are not a married couple now."

"Who said to you that we have divorced? We are still a married couple. If you want, I can shoe w you the proof."James Thomson said with a  mysterious tone.

"What do you mean by that? Did not we signed the divorce paper?"Nina Anderson asked in a confused tone.

"How can I file that?I never filed for our divorce. So legally we are still a married couple."James Thomson said in a calm tone. Nina Anderson almost fell down to hear him.
