Chapter 144 - Where Were You?

"Yes."James Thomson replied.

"No." Nina Anderson replied.

Nina Anderson coughed lightly and poked, James Thomson.

"You should not lie. He is sick. He would be worried."She whispered at him.

"It's ok. I will talk to him. Don't worry."Mr. Jmaes Thomson whispered back to her. Both Martin and Mr. Lin stared at the couple questioningly.

"Mr. Thomosn, what is this? Are you trying to play with me? I am serious about my daughter."Mr. Lin said in an angry tone.

"I don't dare to. What I am saying is true. We are really married."James Thomson said politely.

"What do you mean by you two are married? I can not believe in you. Nina, what is he saying is true?"Mr. Lin asked in a confused tone.

"A............Actually, we have married in the marriage bureau office six months ago. But we are already divor..........."Nina Anderson could not complete her words as James Thsosmon stopped her.

"Let me explain."He said and signaled her to stop talking.She stared at her confusedly.

"Mr. Lin. As Nian has already said, we have both been married for six months already. So, please give us your blessings.I will cherish her my whole life.I will be always at her side, whether it is good or bad days of ou life.I love her . Please accept me as your son - in -law."James Thomson said and bowed in front of Mr. Lin.

"B...........but..........."Nina wanted to speak something but again stopped by James Thomson.

"Nina, you need not worry about anything else. I will never let you suffer again. I will be by your side always."James Thomson said and stared sat her eyes deeply.

"So, you are saying that you two are married for six months already? How can this be possible?When I searched for Miss Nina's past life, I could get nothing about this marriage. In fact, I had got no information about your meeting with her. How can you two be married? And.......and were not she disappeared from here six months ago for almost three months?I..........I am really confused."Martin asked confusedly.

"Nina, Mr. Thomson tell me the truth . Are you two really married? Or are you trying to play a prank on me?"Mr. lin asked in a serious tone to hear Martin's words. Now both of them could guess that something is going on here.

"Miss Nina, where were you for those three months? Why there is no information available about those three months? I tried hard to find out, but could not."Martin said in the same confused tone.Nina Anderson lowered her head to hear them.She could not decide what to tell, what should not. James Thomson held her hand and stared at her deeply again. He can see sadness and worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry. Let me explain."He said with a calm tone. Nina Anderson nodded.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Martin. Nina disappeared from here six months ago because she was abducted by someone."James Thomson said in a calm tone.

"What! What did you tell?M...........my daughter was abducted by someone? Who is behind it?"Mr. Lin said in a shocked tone and started to cough violently. Everyone was startled to see him.

"Dad!"Nina Anderson said in a worried tone and held her father.

"Mr. Lin, are you ok?"James Thomson and Martin too reach near him and asked worriedly.

"Boss, you should calm down. Your health condition is still not good. You should keep yourself calm."Martin said in a worried tone.

"I.......I am fine. Just give me a glass of water."Mr. Lin said somehow. James Thomson poured a glass of water and offered to him.

"Mr. Thomson,I think you should take a rest now. It is not good for you to talk non stop. You are sick after all."James Thomson said in a worried tone.

"Mr.Thomosn.I am fine now.I have got back my daughter. How can I not talk to her.I want to know everything about her.I want to spend more time with her more.B...........but my health is not letting me do so.I...........I am a bad father as well as a bad husband.I could not protect my wife back then and let her suffer in this world alone. And ........and now my daughter is suffering. And ......and I can do nothing.I am really useless."Mr. Lin said with tearful eyes.

"Dad, please don't say this. And I am fine. You need not worry. Just get well soon . We will spend a lot of time together in the future."Nina Anderson said in a calm tone.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you just need to get well soon. You need not worry about your daughter.I am capable enough to protect my wife.I will protect her well in the future also.I will not let anyone harm her."James Thomson said in a serious tone. Mr. Lin stared at the man in front of him thoughtfully.

"Mr. Thomson, can I talk to you personally?"Mr. Lin asked .

"Of course."James Thomson replied.

"We are leaving you two to speak then," Martin said and signaled Nian Anderson to leave with him. Nina Anderson nodded and left the cabin.

"Mr. Thomosn, I regretted my whole life for what I did in my past. I......I think everything would have been fine if I would be a little courageous back then. But I trust you. I know you will protect my daughter for me. Please do not let her go. My health condition is getting worse day by day. I don't know if I would be able to be fine again. But you have to stay strong beside her. Can you promise me that you will protect her well even if I leave this world?"Mr. Lin asked in a worried tone.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry.I love her.I will protect my love forever.I promise. Don't worry . "James Thomson said in an assured tone.

"Now I am relieved. Thank you for loving my daughter.Welcome to my family my son- in - law."Mr. Lin said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin thanking for accepting me. I think you want to tell me something important. Now we are family. So you can share any problem with me. I will be with you if there is any problem."James Thomson said in a polite tone.

"You are really very thoughtful.Yes, I want to share something with you. Please don't tell my daughter about all these. I don't want her to get scared.

My second wife is very cruel. She would not let Nina go easily if she comes to know about her existence. I.......I think my current condition is also due to her scheme. I think she has been using some drug on my food, to make me ill. She is behind my property.

I am worried about my daughter's security. She would try to kill her also. So please protect her well. Please don't let her go near my second wife or her daughter."Mr. Lin said in a worried tone. James Thomson lost in deep thought to hear him.

"Mr. Lin, I think she already knows about her.I think she must be the person behind her kidnapping back then. Although I could not find that person, back then, now it seemed that everything fits well here. She must have seen Nina somewhere and already guessed who is she."James Thomson said thoughtfully.

"Now what to do?"Mr. Lin asked in a worried tone.

"Don't worry.I will not let her harm her anymore. And about your illness, I will invite the best specialist overseas for you. So you will be fine soon."

"Thank you,son- in -law.I really want to be fine and spend time with my daughter."

"You will be fine.But you must be more careful from now on.I know that Mr. Martin is protecting you well. It was a good decision to stop her from coming here." 

"Yes, she would try to kill me again. I heard that Martin stopped yu also to meet with me that day.I am sorry for that.He was just trying to keep my health condition a secret. Please forgive us ."

"Don't worry.I can understand.  "

"Mr. Thomson, actually, I wanted to request something."James Thomson looked at him questioningly.

"Lucy Is trying to get my position in the company. I don't want to let her snatch everything from my daughter. Please train my daughter to be my heir. She must not lose to Lucy. You are the only person, who can train her properly. I already transferred twenty percent of the company share in her name three years ago. Actually that time I did not know much about her. That's why I transferred the share with another name. I already asked Martin to take care of everything. Please help me to get  her position, for which she really deserves."
