Chapter 196 - Chapter 196

((( ZHIO )))

I'd still be prone to dangers if I am an ordinary person and, not having the eminent advantage of wealth, I wouldn't be able to protect Claire and our family like I could at present.

My phone rang.

Before answering it, I gently lifted Claire's head off my lap and put a pillow underneath it.

I took the call.

"Sir," it was Deo,

"…the emergency meeting in Singapore for the Cryzastic Corporation. Are you still coming?"

I forgot about it.

"Yes. We have to."

"I've ordered the Chopper to be at the mansion in ten minutes," he replied, "And by the way, Mr. Brundon is looking for you. I heard he's filing a case against you. But due to his schedule, he'd be away from the country for four days."

The call ended.

I forgot that antipathetic guy's challenge.

Whatever.

I looked back at Claire and my fear had just gotten worse.

I'd be leaving once again.

(CLAIRE)

A muffled noise brought me back to consciousness.

Zhio wasn't on the bed.

He's left on a Chopper and the specifics of his flight wasn't yet told to me.

All of a sudden, I was crying.

Why?

Why am I crying at his absence when it frequently happened before? He's a businessman.

But still, I felt anxious.

Throughout the day I felt uneasy and when the night has fallen, I was completely silent. I knew if I'd open my mouth, I'd end up looking for him.

"Darling," Sya was handing me a phone, "Zhio wants to talk to you."

I immediately stood up and took it,

"Zhio."

"I heard you can't sleep?"

I whiffed a breath, "You went there without telling me!"

But I realized…

Who am I to tell him what to do or question his actions?  

He laughed.

He laughed?

He JUST LAUGHED?!

"I'm sorry. You were still asleep so I wasn't able to. Next time, I'd always tell you no matter what."

I was wordless.

Without any reasons to, I felt myself crying again.

I handed the phone back to Sya and gestured I'd want to sleep. I didn't want to talk to him, not because he was gone away so suddenly, but because I couldn't understand myself.

Why was I feeling that way?
