Chapter 164 - Love Is Not Everything

James Thomson entered the cabin on which his Grandpa was lying down. Although his eyes were closed, by looking at him anyone can tell that a lot is going on in his mind.

"Grandpa, are you awake?"James Thomson asked in a serious tone. The old man opened his eyes at once as he heard his Grandson's voice. He got up and sat down on the bed and looked at his Grandson guiltily.

"James, you .....you are here! I.....I thought you....."He could not complete his words as James Thomson stopped him.

"You thought that I will abandon you. Isn't it?"James Thomson asked in a mocking tone. The old man sighed.

"James, I am sorry. I..... I never thought that he is holding such grudges towards us. But don't worry, I will make everything fine again. I can not let him ruin our family."

"Grandpa, do you think that things would be as normal as before, even you try? Do you think that Derrick will let go of everything and come back to your life? Or are you going to beg him to come back to your life?"James Thomson asked in a mocking tone.

"James, I did not mean that. I am not going to bring that unfilial Grandson of mine to our family. I was feeling pity towards him. His parents brought him to this world but left him like that. He was not such a bad kid in the past. But...but I don't know when he grew these bad feelings towards all of us.

James, although I liked him, I never give anything which is meant to you. James, I know that I told you so many rude words in the past, but I never did tell those things to hurt you. I just wanted you to grow more and more. What I did is only to make you do more hard work to achieve what you deserve."The old man said.

"So, what is the reason behind keeping Sammie away from me?"James Thomson asked in an angry tone.

"James, I ...I did not want you to be with her. I already told you earlier, that you deserve to be with someone better. She would not have given you anything, compared to Helen Porter. Helen Porter is the perfect match for you."

"So, you have decided my fate. Have you ever thought about what I want? Do you think that I want the property and position? You even tried so many tricks to keep Nina away from me. Why Grandpa, why you don't let me live my own life?"

"James, love is not everything in this world. There are a lot of things that are much more important than love. Have you seen what happened to your uncle? I didn't want to be born another Derrick due to love. Your uncle just left him. Is it love? Should not he have to take the responsibility of the child which both of them brought to this world? James, love is not everything. You would realize this as you grow old."The old man said in a calm tone.

"No, Grandpa. You are wrong. You have judged everything wrong. Have you ever asked my uncle what was going on with them? There must have been some reason for what he did. Have you ever accepted his love life? He must have not got the courage to protect his love. But things are different for me. I can protect my love. I can leave everything for it."

"James, come to your senses. The world does not revolve around love. There are a lot of things we must do apart from love. Ok. Leave it. I don't want to argue with you. Just be ready for tomorrow. I already discussed it with a few of the directors. They will support you tomorrow."Gerard Thomson tried to calm down himself and said.

"I am not attending the meeting. I am not here to ask your support."James Thomson said in a cold tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Where is Sammie? What did you do to her?"

"Wh...why are you asking me about that girl? I....I don't know."

"Grandpa, don't make things harder for me. I went to meet Derrick. He told me that you are behind her disappearing. Where is she?"The old man was lost in thought.

"James, she is fine. You need not worry about her."

"I asked where is she?"

"I ...I don't know."Gerard Thomson replied with a sigh.

"Are you still trying to lie? Do you think that I am going to believe in you?"

"I am not lying.  It was Mr Porter, whom I asked to send her somewhere away from here. I .....I just send money to his account for her. I never asked him, where he kept her?"

"What! What did you say? You ...you asked Mr Poretr to send her away from here. How can you do this? You.....you are really ...."James Thomson wanted to speak something, but he stopped in mid-sentence and left the cabin.

In city R, Nina Anderson reached the hospital with Mr Martin.

"You are here? Thank you, my dear daughter. I missed you."Mr Lin said in a happy tom.

"Dad, how are you?"

"I am good. Nina, will you stay here with me tonight? I don't know what will happen to me tomorrow. I want to spend some time with you."Mr Lin said as he smiled sadly.

"Of course, Dad. I also want to spend some time with you."Nina Anderson replied. As they were chatting, Mr Martin entered the cabin with a file.

"Boss, the documents you wanted are here."He said.

"Ok. What is the situation there?"Mr Lin asked in a worried tone.

"I heard they have prepared some fake documents."

"Ok. I understand. Now you can leave."Mr Lin said and opened the file and lost it. Nina Anderson sighed to see her father.

"Dad, you are sick now. Can not you let your work wait for some time? Nina Anderson asked in a worried tone.

"I can not my child. I have to work hard back then to make the company as it is. Now some people are trying to harm it."Mr. Lin said in a worried tone.

"Nina, do you know, Lucy is trying to get the company, under her name? If she got what she wants, my company would be destroyed."Mr. Lin said thoughtfully.

"But Dad ,is not she capable enough to be in the position?As I know her, she is smart and intelligent.I don't understand why are you so much worried."Nina Anderson said in a confused tone.

"Nina,I don't think that if a person is smart , she is able to run a company.How can I give a person the position, who tortured her employee?The boss, who does not recognize the capability of his or her employee, how can he or she be a boss?

And apart from that,I........I got information that she is going to hand over the company to her maternal uncle after she got it.I have all the shreds of evidence, that she as well as her mother is trying to do with my company. How can I give her my company?"Mr. Lin said in a thoughtful tone. Nina Anderson stared at her father thoughtfully.

"Dad,I am willing to join the company."Nina Anderson said after thinking for some time.

"Wh......what are you really willing to join the company?"

"Yes,I can not see you so much worried.You should take care of your health instead of the company.I will try my best to keep the company in a good condition for you until you return to the company."Nina Anderson said.

"Thank you, my child. You are my life savior.Let me inform Mr. Martin about your decision.He will help you with the matter."Mr. Lin said happily and sent a text message to Mr. Martin.

"Dad,I am just your daughter.Now you should sleep."Nina Andrson ad and tucked the blanket.

"Miss Nina, please come with me please."Mr. Martin entered the cabin and said.

Ok."She said and left the cabin with him.

In city T, James Thomson reached in front of the house of the Porters.

"You can not enter now. Mr. Porter is taking rest now."The security guard said as he wanted to enter the house.

"I must meet him. It is very important for me to meet him."James Thomson replied.

"Mr. Thomson,Mr. Poretr is not feeling well these days.So it is not convenient for him to attend a visitor. Please come back tomorrow."The security Guard said and closed the gate. James Thomson sighed and left the house.

In the city R,Mrs. Lin was speaking to someone over the phone.

"What do you mean by you could not get her? Where is she?"Mrs. Lin asked in an angry tone.

"Madam, she is in the hospital. She is accompanying her father tonight."The man on the other side replied.

"Ok. Keep our guards ready at the hospital then.You must stop her to come out. She should not reach the company in any condition."Mrs. Lin said.

"Yes.We will take care of that."
