Offer To The CEO

222 Recovery and Revenge - part 17

Friday, continued …

Hou Yi, was sitting in his office going over the work that Assistant Wang needed him to review.Despite is plans to destroy Lu Corporation, all he wanted to do was be back beside Anna, while she was in hospital.He was grateful to have the love of his life in his life, he realised that the only reason she was lying in hospital, hurt, was that she was in his life.

Looked at what had happened, despite what landed Anna in hospital he started to feel that Anna was slowly opening up to his and giving their relationship a chance.Was that, however, worth the risks to Anna?Could he let her go, if that would guarantee her safety?What was more important, their relationship or her?In asking himself those questions, Hou Yi realised that Anna was the most important thing.What was necessary was striking the balance in dealing with those idiots, and ensuring her safety.

Hou Yi started to think about how he should go about this, when his thoughts were interrupted by his mobile ringing.He looked at the number and realised the call was from Australia, so he answered it, with a "Hello"

"Hi brother-in-law, Rosemary here.How is the patient?"

"When I was last at the hospital, she was exhausted, but about to go for a number of scans and other tests.I wanted to stay with her, but she became argumentative until I promised her that I would come into the office and do some work and return later then the doctors come in for a review."

"I am betting she is hating being restricted?"

"She is but given everything at least she is safe."Hou Yi in making this comment could not help but to keep the sorrow out of his voice.

"You better spill what is going on.I knew something was off with Anna when we spoke, and I am certain.You sound so sad and bitter."

"I keep blaming myself for not protecting her …"

"Damn it.Given what you told me, I did some searching online and found out what happened.Even her brothers, when I told them she had been injured and was in hospital were all ready to get on the next flight out and kill you for letting her get hurt.However, when they saw what I found on line, they did not blame you."

"All her brothers want to do is kill the b**tard that continues to hurt their sister.Do not feel sorry for yourself.You got her away from him and made sure she was safe.You could not have stopped the events from there, because I am guessing that their actions were simply driven by getting to her, and we know that it would only be Lu Jinhu and his b**ch of a wife."

"Rosemary …" came the pitiful start of a reply from Hou Yi.

"I am going to say this once, and if you do not get it Anna will explain.Stop the self-pity party.You have nothing to blame yourself for."

Hou Yi realised that his sister-in-law was telling him that he needed to stop blaming himself.He did not think that he could do so, because he knew the truth, he was ultimately responsible for her injury as he had not acted to stop Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin before they got to this point.Now all he could do was plan to take them down and their financial backing through Lu Corporation.

"I should have done something to stop them before Tuesday night."

"Adam, Ben, Rachel, James and Susan are all here listening to this call, do you want them to tell you to grow up."

"OK I get the message, but it will not stop me feeling how I do."

"Fine, but that will be taken care of…"

"What do you mean?"

"We have spoken, and Anna's dad agrees that the best option is for me to come over immediately as I have a valid passport.All that is necessary is organising my flights.Once the school term ends, if you could work it James and Rebecca will come out with the children.James and I will then split the nursing duties, as for James it will be able to count for his placement hours for his degree."

"We have spoken to the passport's office, and they can expedite passports, if we can supply details of Anna's hospitalisation, and need for nursing care.At the end of the holiday period, we will then simply work out what needs to happen for nursing care, and Rebecca will return with the children to Australia.See Problem solved.And if any of us see a pity party, we will slap you so hard …"

"I will see stars.I get how you Australian's work."Hou Yi burst out laughing.And once he stopped, he continued "Just give me a couple of minutes, but can you email to me a copy of the photograph page of your passport, but I have to put you on hold."with that Hou Yi gave his email address, and called out to Assistant Wang to come in.
