Father Lu was happy yet worried at the same time. Damn the brat, why didn't he used protection? The time is not right! Of course he wanted to be a grandfather. He doesn't mind if the child would end up like Jade. But he is worried for its safety. The time now is just not right!
Jade sensed Father Lee's brooding mood. Is he worried that the baby going to be like me? Father is unhappy about something. Ouch, it hurts so much to think that Father is upset because I'm pregnant. She felt sad and is scared to confront her father in law. She is afraid to face the truth. She would not blame her father in law for feeling this way, even her is apprehensive with regards to her child's future.
Father Lee noted the change of expression in Jade's face. Immediately he fawned upon her. He asked if the food was alright, if the smell was pleasant and even asked if she had any discomfort anywhere. His actions reminded her of her Derek. Gosh, how she missed that man of hers. Seeing the way Father Lee is acting, she became doubtful about her earlier assumption.
Finally, she could not help but asked him, "Father, are you unhappy that I'm pregnant?"
"You noticed? I'm so sorry." Father Lee replied truthfully.
"Mm. Is it because of me?" Jade asked softly
Father Lee was taken aback by Jade's questions. It seems he had caused her to misunderstood. "Eh, no. Father is just worried because the timing is not right. Derek is undergoing his training and our enemies are looming around just waiting for their moment to strike. I wouldn't want anything to happen to any of you and especially the precious bun inside." he explained gently. He added on, "You turn out great under your grandmother's care. So if you actually gave birth to a couple of babies who has Asperger's as well, I think they would all be greater because they will have the love of their parents, grandfather as well as uncle and aunty. Don't you think so?"
Dew of tears formed at the edge of Jade's eyes. Things would definitely be different for her baby compared to her. She realised that things are different now. She has a doting father even though not blood related, a husband who cherished her, and support from her siblings. She carrassed her lower abdomen lovingly, you are a lucky baby and mama is going to protect you. She has a lot of reason to live for.
Father Lee understood Jade. He knows that people with Asperger's prone to have depression, his favourite Hollywood actor, Robin Williams, who was also diagnosed with Asperger's, died of depression. Even though people with Asperger's seems disconnected to the world but they are in fact are sensitive beings.
He took Jade into his embrace and hugged her tightly. "We love you. You returned to me the most precious thing in my life after my wife, that is Derek. I will forever be grateful for that. Your presence in his life, changed our lives. You bring us so much joy and happiness."
"Derek gave me a life too, now I truly understand a father's love, something I have longed for and never thought would have come true. I am glad I met him. Thank you for bringing him up to be a fine man he is." Jade replied.
"Alright, don't cry anymore alright. It is not good for the baby. Come, I'll send you to your office." Father Lee mentioned.
"About that, the board of directors have approved Chris to be the new appointed C.E.O, I don't have go to the office anymore and my duties are of an advisor. I still get paid and I get awarded additional 5% shares to my 35%. I can now focus on my pregnancy and getting stronger." Jade informed Father Lee.
"That is good news my child. I am happy for you. Tell Chris, if he has any problems, he can ask me for guidance as well," offered Father Lee.
"Alright, father. I am going for my yoga class first. The teacher will arrive soon." Jade said as she gave a kiss on Father Lee's forehead.
Father Lee was happy because he had always wanted a daughter and now to feel like a father again is good.
Meanwhile, Lily was happy with Han Ping progressed. He has gained some muscles and no longer frail. His bloods investigation that were once in the red abnormal range started to normalize. His looks improved as well. They still have months to go and she was told if all goes well, she is going to be the new Madam Lee and owns part of Lee corporations if Lee Han Ping gets to overthrow Derek. At the same time, her dream of being a superstar is just steps away. She can't hide her glee.
Han Ping treated her like a queen and she is starting to develop some feelings for him. Living this kind of life is not that bad, she thought.
At another underground place, Tom and Crystal were having passionate sex. Tom has devoted himself to Crystal after that day. He is a little disappointed that Crystal only treated him as a tool. He vows to make Crystal open up to him. He knew she had some bad past but he doesn't know the exact details. He obeys every of Crystal demands. Soon, he will need to carry out Crystal's plans. He is not looking forward to that because he has to break April and Adam apart. To be honest, he never really had any strong grudge against April but he did feel like he was cast aside by April. Now, all he wanted is to stay by Crystal's side. He never had fallen for anyone this hard before.
