Kareem's heart pinched seeing his beloved daughter in such a pitiful state. Out of the three kids, he favored Angella and showered all his love on her. Since she was a little girl, he always made sure she got what she wanted. He fulfilled all her demands without any hesitation. But this time what she wanted was beyond his control. This made him feel helpless and angry but there was nothing he could do.

"Go to your room," he ordered.

"Dad—"

Cutting her off, he snapped, "Don't argue with me, go to your room and do not step out without my permission." Without waiting for her reply, he gestured one of his men to escort her to her room.

"How did she go there?" When none of his men responded, Kareen yelled, "Is this how you people are doing your job? Was my instruction not clear? All you people have to do is not leave her alone—how hard is it to handle a little girl?"

One of the guards stepped forward and tried to explain what had happened. "Boss, madam told me she wanted to go for a drive. I asked her where she wanted to go and she gave me the address of a park. When we reached there, she told me to get a coffee for her. I left a guard behind but when I came back, they were not there. Later we found the guard. He told me that madam asked him to get something for her urgently from the nearby supermarket."

Kareem knew his daughter was at fault. Angella had manipulated the guards and this wasn't the first time she had done it. "Did Mo Yichan find out she was there?"

"No boss, Mo Yichan left for a business trip this morning. His wife was in the office when madam went there. But I don't think she saw her because the young master arrived and—" the guard stopped. He was very well aware of the strained relationship between the father and son. He didn't wish to say something which would trigger Kareem or Roger.

"How long will he be gone?"

"We don't know, there isn't a fixed date."

"Then we better hurry." With Yichan out of the picture for a few days, things would be a little easier for them if they execute the plan carefully. Even though he knew Yichan would never leave his beloved wife alone without making proper preparations, Kareem still wanted to give it a shot.

"But boss, young master—"

"What about him?"

"He is always with her."

"So you take care of him too." Kareem didn't care about other people, even if it was his own son. They had already waited a lot. Now it was time to take some action.

 [Ning and Yichan's place]

"I heard you went to my office today."

"Yes I did and I have to go there tomorrow as well." Ning lied down on the bed and placed the laptop on her lap. "There are a few things I need to take care of."

"I had told them not to bother you even if it's important," Yichan sighed. "It will be very stressful for you. I will ask Guiren to look into it and—"

"Why do you want to bother him when you have such an awesome and capable wife right here?" She puffed her cheeks and shrugged her shoulders. "That is so insensitive of you."

"I didn't mean it that way babe, I just don't want you to take any extra burden."

"It's not a burden. How is doing something that also belongs to me a burden? Is what yours not mine?"

"Of course it is," he exclaimed. "Everything that is mine is yours and that includes me."

Keeping the laptop on the bed, she sat up straight. "When are you coming back?"

"I really can't say," he sighed. "Could be a couple of days or maybe a week."

"I miss you."

"I miss you too. See this is why I wanted you to come with me and—" He stopped midway when he received a call from someone. "Babe I need to take this."

"Sure, go ahead."

"I'll call you later."

After hanging up the call, Ning lied down flat on her stomach and lightly groaned. She had been feeling very bloated for the past few days. Maybe because she had been eating a lot of junk. Firmly deciding not to give in to her midnight cravings, she was about to doze off when her phone started ringing.

Assuming it was Yichan, she quickly grabbed her phone. When she saw the caller ID, she frowned. It was from the hospital.

"Good evening, am I talking to Mrs.Yang Ning?"

"Yes."

"I am calling from the City Hospital. We have been trying to contact you since the last two days," the lady from the other side informed.

"I have been a little busy. Is everything okay?"

"Your blood results are out. The doctor wants to discuss a few things with you. Can you drop by the hospital tomorrow?" she asked.

"Yes, sure. Is it something serious?" Ning felt a little anxious. With so many things happening, she had completely forgotten about the tests she had taken at the hospital a couple of days ago.

"I don't think so but the doctor would like to have a talk with you. Shall I book a morning appointment for you?"

"Is an evening appointment possible? I have an important meeting in the morning."

"Please give me a moment, I'll check and let you know." After a long pause, she said, "There is a slot at five. Is that okay with you?"

"Yes it's fine." As soon as she hung up the call after confirming her appointment, Yichan called.

"Hey, I called you but your number was busy."

"I was talking to Meili." She lied. She didn't want to but she didn't have a choice. If Yichan found out about her doctor's appointment, he would panic and create a scene.

Though he did not tell her openly, she knew things were quite stressful for him at the moment. She didn't want to add up to his stress by telling him about the test she had taken and the appointment. So she decided to keep it from him until she found out what was going on.
