Chapter 141 - Mr. Lin

"Mr Thomson, do you have time today? Will you please accompany me somewhere? "Nina Anderson asked Mr James Thomson in as both of them having their breakfast together.

James Thomson looked at her worriedly. She said nothing after she got up that morning. He was worried for her. But as he decides to give her sufficient time, he did not ask her anything.

"Of course I have time for you. Just tell me when you want to go. We will go together. Do you want to go there now or later?"

"No, I think we should go after your work. Your work is very important. Please let me know when you are done with your works. I will reach there." Nina Anderson said in a serious tone.

"What do you mean by you will reach there? Are not you coming with me too?" James Thomson asked in a worried tone.

"No, I will not disturb you more. I have to do something at home today." Nina Anderson said with a smile. Although she smiled, James Thomson could felt that her smile could not reach her eyes.

"Nina, I think you should not stay here alone." James Thomson said thoughtfully. He did not want to leave her here alone.

"Mr Thomson, don't worry. I am fine. I can stay here alone today."

"But what if they come here again?"

"They would not come. Now you should leave, It is already late."Nina Anderson said with a smile and got up.

"Ok. Please call me if there is any problem here. I will reach here in no time."

"I know. You need not worry. Your guards are still guarding. I will be safe here."

"Ok Then. I am leaving. I will come to pick you up as soon as I have done my meetings with the client." James Thomson said and left.

Nina Anderson sighed and entered her room and opened her computer and search for the details about the High Clouds Enterprise. She looked for the details of Mr Lin and his family. But could not find anything important. She was so lost in her computer that she could not realize that it was already time for her lunch. She comes back to her senses to hear the doorbell.

"Who is that!"She mumbled and looked at the clock at the wall. Her eyes widened in shock to see the time.

"Shit! It is already lunchtime. I even did not cook the food. Oh...someone is at the door. I should open the door first." She mumbled and reached the door hurriedly.

"Miss, here is your takeout." A delivery man was at door.

"But, I did not order any food." She said with a smile.

"I ordered." She was stunned to hear James Thomson's voice near her.

"When did you come? Why I did not realize it?"She asked in a surprised tone.

"You were very busy with your computer, so you did not hear any sound." James Thomson said as he accepting the packets from the delivery man and closed the door.

"Oh. I am sorry. I...I did not realize that it is already lunchtime."Nina Anderson said in a low voice.

"I know. I have already checked the kitchen. You have not eaten anything yet. That's why I ordered lunch for both of us. Now come here quickly. Otherwise, the food will get cold."

"Thank You, Mr Thomson. But why are you here so early? Were not you going to attend some important meeting today afternoon?"

"I have already rescheduled them. Now come here. Are not you going to meet Mr Lin?" James Thomson asked with a smile. Nina Anderson was shocked to hear him.

"H.....how did you know that I am going to meet Mr Lin? Did Mr Martin say you about that?" Nina Anderson asked in a surprised tone.

"I just guessed. Today, Peter Carter informed me about Mr Lin's past life. So I guessed. Now, stop talking and let us have lunch. Come here and sit."James Thomson said and pulled a chair for her. Nina Anderson sat down without uttering a word.

"I am waiting for you in the car. You get ready and come down ."James Thomson said after lunch and left the apartment.

"Are you ok?" James Thomson asked Nina Anderson as he started the engine.

Nina Anderson nodded.

"Nina, don't worry. I am with you. You just need to be calm." James Thomson said.

"I...I just don't know what to think or do. I am really confused. I.....I could not believe Mr Martin's words when he said about him. I never thought that the person whose existence was never important in my life would appear like this. I don't want to meet him. The father, who never tried to find me or think of me, I...I don't want to meet with him. But ....but Martin said that his condition is not good and....and he is waiting in the hospital just for me."Nina Anderson said in a confused tone.

"Nina, sometimes things are not as you see from far. You need to go deep, then only you can see the real things." James Thomson said in a serious tone.

"I don't think that there is something, I should know about that person. If he would have eligibility to be my father, my grandmother should have mentioned him. That ....that person has a happy family. I don't understand why has he remember about me suddenly."

"Nina, there must be some reason behind it. You should give him a chance to express himself. Don't think too much about it. Everything will be fine. Whatever it is, I am here with you. Now get off. We are here."

Nina Anderson nodded and get off the car. James Thomson opened the car trunk and bring out a fruit basket and a bouquet.

"Let us go in." James Thomson said with an assured smile.

She said nothing and followed James Thomson silently. Mr Martin was waiting in front of the lift for them.

"Miss Nina, Mr Thomson, please come this way."Mr Martin bowed and said.

They reached the cabin on which Mr Lin was sleeping.

"Please come in."Mr Martin said and opened the door for them. Mr Lin opened his eyes to hear the sound.

"Oh! You.... you are here."He said and tried to get up, but could not.

"Boss, you should not try to get up. The doctor asked you not to force yourself."Mr Martin said in a worried tone.

"H.....how can I keep on sleeping? Please ....please help me to sit. I...I want to look at my daughter properly."Mr Lin said somehow.

"Ok. I will help you."Mr Martin said helped him to sit down.

Nina Anderson was standing near the door like a statue. She was staring at him with a thoughtful look.

"Hello Mr Lin, How are you?"Mr James Thomson bowed and greeted him.

"Oh...M.....Mr. Thomson. I ...I am sorry. I ...I was excited to see my daughter. I did not notice you. Are you with my daughter?"Mr Lin asked in a confused tone.

"Yes. I am with her. James Thomson replied in a calm tone.

"Nina, you should talk to him. I will go out for some moment. Just try to speak normally. You need not worry about other things now." James Thomson said in a low voice to Nina Anderson. She nodded. He left the cabin 

"Come my daughter. Come here.Sit here with me."Mr Lin said with a smile. Nina Anderson nodded and reached near Mr Lin and sat down on a chair.

"I am also going outside. Please call me if you need anything."Mr Lin said and left the cabin.

"Are .....are you fine, my daughter? I...I just could not believe in my own eyes when I saw you for the first time. I...I just could not believe that you ...you will appear in front of me like that. I....."Mr Lin wanted to speak more but stopped to hear Nina Anderson.

"Why did you abandoned me?"She asked in a cold tone. Mr Lin was stunned to hear her tone. He lost in deep thought and nodded.

"I.....I know. I.....I deserve to get scolded by ...by you. I...I could not show my courage then. You ...you are angry at me. It...It is normal."Mr Lin said in a sad tone.
