Chapter 478 - ASSISTANCE: PART VI (1/2)
”Answer it, hurry up.” Cris said as he went back to the man's side to listen to what Wang Ji has to say. He had high hopes that the call concerns all about him.
”President Chen, I'm sorry to bother you. But, how are you feeling?” Wang Ji said, knowing for a fact that the girl's father might have tapped into his phone already as well, so he needed to be careful.
”Huh? Wang-”
Before President Chen could complain, Cris grabbed him and covered his mouth with his hand. He realized what was happening and it was only a second before things could have ended for them. He looked at the man furiously for not realizing the situation at all and whispered to him.
”He's asking about me, you idiot. Be careful of your words, the call might be recorded.”
President Chen's eyes were wide away from the shock and his half sleepyhead soon functioned perfectly as if he was heading to battle and was all wide alert. ”Ah, Wang Ji, sorry, I just woke up. I'm feeling much better thanks for your concern.”
”Ha-ha, I'm glad to hear that. Well then, President Chen… Have a good rest.”
President Chen sighs in relief as soon the call ends and throws his phone on the bed as if it was a time bomb. ”Cris, am I safe now?”
”Idiot…” Cris sighs in disbelief as he headed out of his room to look for some food. He has been asleep for quite some time and has missed almost a total of seven to eight meals adding all the time he's been sick.
”Cris, wait for me.”
As they were in the kitchen grabbing all the food they both could possibly eat. President Chen did not hesitate and asked about the call earlier.
”Cris, how did Wang Ji know you're sick.”
Cris sighs as he looks at the man disappointedly, ”Only you would think inside the box.”
”Huh? Inside a what?”
”It wasn't him who initiated the call, but the girl. She must have known that I am not taking the medicine which will eventually conclude to my condition now.”
”Ah, I see…” President Chen eagerly listened as he slowly sip down the milk. Then, a sudden thought pops into his mind which leads him to ask, ”Does that mean, she's found someone to investigate on the medicine.”
”I guess so, but I'm curious who that person is and can that person be trusted.”
President Chen nodded his head in agreement and was too curious of the person's identity whom the girl asked for help.
Meanwhile, back in the military academy where Elizabeth was. The girl couldn't help it, but sneezed from time to time… It worried her grandfather that she might be sick.
”Darling, is something wrong?”
”I'm fine grandpa,” she answered, but she rather said, ”Who the heck is speaking ill of me?”
As the two of them waited patiently for the person whom they both had been waiting for. Elizabeth was busy reading through different newspapers and magazines.
An hour later…
”Old man, I'm sorry for being so late.”
Running inside the office covered in sweat was General Liu. He looked as if he ran a marathon all the way to the office. Despite the difference in distance between his grandfather's office and the front gate. It wasn't that far, so why does he look like he was out of breath.
”Ha- you think I'd be pleased to see you now after the long wait.”
”Old man, don't be like that. I was far away, even ran halfway just to get here.”
”Then you should have ran faster.”
”You-”
Both of them quarrel with each other as if Elizabeth was not around. They joke around like young children without even caring for their ranks and status.
”Ah, I almost forgot. Old man, say hello to my granddaughter, Elizabeth.”
”Young Princess, good to see you again.”
”General Liu, I'm pleased to see you too.” She spoke with tearful eyes as if she was that please to see the old man.
The old man was moved to see how delighted the girl was to see him. He has thought for a second that all the things Elder Chief Zhao spoke of being untrue. The girl must have really lost her memory for her to be this please just to see him alive in the flesh.
