My Killing President

Chapter 649 Pregnant

In the ward, Annabelle was lying in bed and her face was pale.

Kaleb Hua was worried as he asked the doctor, "Doctor, what's wrong with her? Why would she faint so

suddenly?"

"The patient had overworked herself, in addition that she was pregnant and some hormonal change,

she fainted. The first trimester was of utmost importance to every pregnant woman. You must make

sure to rest properly!"

Pregnant?

Hormonal imbalance?

Kaleb Hua was stunned, "She, she is pregnant?"

The doctor looked at him and asked back, "You didn't know? It had been more than two weeks

already!"

Kaleb Hua shook his head mechanically.

The doctor said, "… The first three months are very important. Try your best to keep her mood cheery.

Rest more, walk less and do less work. Eat more nutritious diet!"

Kaleb Hua nodded, "Okay, got it. When will she wake up?"

"She should be waking up anytime now. Just wait for a while!"

Kaleb Hua nodded, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

And so, the doctor went out, leaving Hua, Kaleb Hua and Annabelle in the ward.

Kaleb Hua looked at Annabelle and she was completely identical with Dawson Xiao. He couldn't help

but wonder if Dawson Xiao was just like this when she was pregnant…

He didn't know why but whenever he looked at Annabelle, he would automatically relate her to Dawson

Xiao.

Hua's eyebrows furrowed deeply as he looked at Annabelle and back to Kaleb Hua. He didn't know

how he should say it.

Soon after, Annabelle woke up.

When Kaleb Hua saw that she opened her eyes, he walked towards her.

"Miss Xia, are you awake? How do you feel?" Kaleb Hua asked worriedly.

The first person Annabelle saw was Kaleb Hua. She frowned and asked, "Mr. Kaleb…" She looked

around and it was an unfamiliar place.

"You fainted and I brought you to a hospital!" Kaleb Hua said.

Annabelle recalled that she met Kaleb Hua on her way back. She pondered for a while and said,

"Thank you, I have caused you trouble!"

Kaleb Hua smiled and looked at Annabelle, "Now that you are pregnant, you shouldn't be walking so

often. The doctor said your first trimester is very important. You must make sure to rest amply!"

When Annabelle heard Kaleb Hua, she was stunned.

She raised her head and looked at him, "What did you say?"

"That was what the doctor said. You have overworked yourself. And now that you are pregnant, there

are some hormonal changes and you needed to rest amply!" When Kaleb Hua was talking to her, he

did not have the slightest resemblance of a mobster, or even a president of a huge company. He was

so gentle and his words made Annabelle restful.

Not even Hua had ever seen Kaleb Hua like that. Although the man had been treating those around

him well, he had never been so gentle and affectionate in the past.

Annabelle didn't feel any discomfort with him behaving like that. She looked at him in disbelief, "Did you

just say that I am pregnant?"

"Not me, but the doctor. Don't you know about it yourself?" Kaleb Hua asked back.

Annabelle blinked her eyes. All of a sudden, she recalled that she didn't have her period for the past

month.

Too many things had happened lately and she had completely forgotten about that.

It was beyond her wildest expectation that she was pregnant!

She slowly touched her stomach. Although it was flat and showed no sign of pregnancy, she seemed to

be able to feel a little life forming inside her.

She had a great happiness brewing from within.

When Kaleb Hua saw Annabelle's expression, he knew that she didn't know.

Kaleb Hua said, "It had been more than two weeks. Therefore, you must make sure to rest properly

and keep a good mood!"

Annabelle nodded, "Got it, thank you, Mr. Kaleb!"

Kaleb Hua smiled, "Glad that you are fine!"

"Mr. Kaleb…" At that time, Annabelle looked at him.

"Yes?"

"Can you help me to keep this a secret?" Annabelle asked.

Kaleb Hua was stunned, "Are you referring to…"

Annabelle chuckled, "I wasn't referring to anyone, I simply want to wait a while before announcing."

Kaleb Hua looked at Annabelle. He had heard that Alistair came back. Since Annabelle said that, he

didn't say much and nodded, "That's for sure. This is your privacy and I am not a chatterbox!"

Annabelle smiled. She was sincerely grateful towards Kaleb Hua, "Thank you!"

Kaleb Hua did not notify Alistair. After they went out from the hospital, Kaleb Hua sent Annabelle back

home.

"Mr. Kaleb, thank you so much for the day!" After Annabelle got out the car, she looked at Kaleb Hua

and thanked him sincerely.

Kaleb Hua looked at her and said, "You have saved my life and I helped you. There is no need for

thanks between us!"

"I do not have any relative and I'm just lucky to know someone nice like you!" Kaleb Hua exclaimed.

When Annabelle heard that, she chuckled, "If that's the case, don't call me Miss Xia anymore, just call

me Annabelle!"

When Kaleb Hua heard that, he was pleasantly surprised. After that, he smiled, "Okay, then I shall do

that!"

Annabelle nodded, "I should get up now!"

Kaleb Hua looked upstairs and nodded, "Rest well and don't walk around too much!"

"Okay!" Annabelle smiled and walked upstairs.

When Kaleb Hua looked at Annabelle's back, his gaze was gentle.

Hua sat in the car and looked at Kaleb Hua's expression. The man's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

When they were driving away, Kaleb Hua recalled something and he said, "Hua, get someone to

prepare some nourishing foods!"

"Huh?" Hua came back to his senses and he looked at Kaleb Hua, "Brother Kaleb, was that for Miss

Xia?"

Kaleb Hua nodded, "That's right. See what is more suitable for pregnant lady and prepare more of it!"

Hua, "… Okay, I understand!"

He could tell that Kaleb Hua was very enthusiastic. However, if he were to find out… Never mind that,

he should wait for the result of his investigation.

On the other side.

When Annabelle got upstairs, she lied on the bed and she just couldn't stop caressing her stomach.

Just a thought that a little life was forming within her made her lips curled up.

All of her moodiness was swept away. No matter what, for the sake of that child, she must keep a

happy mood.

She took out her laptop and searched the Internet. Checking out things that she should and shouldn't

do, also things of concern.

It was Annabelle's first time getting pregnant. She was surprised and elated. This is her first trimester

and she needed to be extra careful.

After checking for a while, Annabelle gained quite a bit of knowledge. She put down her laptop and left

her phone in some distance away from her.

The woman finally knew why she was tired and sleepy all the time. As if she just couldn't get enough

sleep.

So her pregnancy was the reason.

She lied down in bed and fantasized about the baby. After that, she fell asleep slowly.

Sometime later, she woke up as she felt a gaze on her.

The moment she opened her eyes and saw Alistair, she got herself up, "You're back!"

"Yeah!"

Annabelle tried to keep her eyes open while sitting.

"Why didn't you answer your phone?" Alistair asked.

At that time, Annabelle regained her awareness slowly. When she saw her phone at the desk far away

from her, she said, "I fell asleep and it was on silent mode!"

"I was worried sick!"

Annabelle looked at him and stared at him in the eye. After a long while, she said, "Sorry…"

The moment she apologized, Alistair's heart softened, "I wasn't blaming you. I was simply worried

about you!"

Annabelle nodded with a smile, "I know!"

"Okay, get up. Let's go home!"

"Why?"

"Grandma misses you. She said that it had been a while since she last saw you and she wanted me to

bring you back!" Alistair said.

When Annabelle heard that, she nodded, "Okay, let me get ready!"

"Okay!"

And so, Annabelle got up and changed her outfit while Alistair waited outside.

Annabelle walked out with a loose dress. The woman always looked good no matter what she wore,

waist and curves. It was just rare for her to wear something so loose.

Alistair noticed that and he was glancing at Annabelle. When Annabelle walked closer and looked at

him, she asked, "Is anything the matter?"

"No, it is just rare to see you wearing something so casual." Alistair said.

Annabelle was stunned when she heard that. After that, she chuckled, "Does it look good?"

"It does!"

"Since we are simply eating at home, I was thinking of dressing more comfortably!"

Alistair nodded agreeably, "Yeah, comfort is the most important thing!"

Not only that, Annabelle wore a pair of sneakers.

She was about 168cm tall. Even when she was wearing sneakers, her legs looked long. It made her

look younger.

Alistair didn't think much when he saw her change of fashion. He simply held her hand and walked

downstairs.

In the Mu family.

Alistair brought Annabelle home and auntie Li was busying on the dining table.

"Auntie Li!"

"Young lady, you're here!"

"Yeah!"

"Hurry and get inside then, grandma Mu is waiting for you!" Auntie Li said.

Annabelle nodded and went inside with Alistair.

Everyone from the Mu family was present.

Of course, there was an additional member, Nancy.

The Mu family had a very good family tradition. They would have a family gathering every Friday.

That was to get closer to each other and facilitate communication.

However, with how Annabelle spent her past days, she had completely forgotten which day it was.

"Grandma!" Once Annabelle walked inside, she greeted the grandmother politely.

When the grandmother and Nancy heard her, they turned their head towards her.

The moment they saw Annabelle appearing by the doorstep, the smile on Nancy face disappeared. But

right after that, she smiled towards Annabelle again.

Annabelle nodded to greet her.

At that time, the grandmother looked at her and said, "Annabelle, you are here! Hurry and come over

here!"

Annabelle smiled and walked over to sit beside the grandmother.

"What were you busying with for the past few days? I didn't see you coming home for dinner, you don't

miss me?" The grandmother was complaining.

Annabelle smiled, "Not at all, I miss you every day!"

"If you miss me, you should accompany me more. Did Alistair give you too much work? If he did that,

tell me and I'll teach him a lesson!"

"Sure!" Annabelle smiled and nodded.

At that time, Nancy added, "That's right, Miss Xia. I haven't been seeing you for the past few days. Was

it because of me staying here, and it isn't convenient?"

The moment she said that, everyone was stunned.

Was Nancy saying that innocently or was she purposely trying to trap Annabelle?

"Not at all, it wasn't related to you. Previously when Alistair was involved in the accident, I haven't been

able to rest at all. Therefore, I had been taking my chance to rest for the past few days. You don't have

to overthink!"

Nancy nodded, "Okay, that's good!"

At that moment, auntie Li came over, "Madam, dinner is ready!"

After hearing her, the grandmother stood up and said, "Okay, let's eat!"

After that, they gathered around the dining table.

The whole family sat there, eating while chatting.

"By the way, Nancy, I heard that your birthday is coming in two days. Have you thought about how to

celebrate it?" The grandmother asked.

When Nancy had that, she smiled, "Not yet!"

"Do you have any plans?"

"I don't know either. Previously daddy was the one that arranged it for me when I was at home!"

"If that's the case, we shouldn't neglect this celebration for you. Alistair, I shall leave this to you!"

"Got it." Alistair answered.

At that time, Nancy raised her head and smiled to Alistair.

Annabelle looked at them and pretended she saw nothing. She continued to lower her head and eat.

At that time, Alistair's chopsticks appeared in her plate. Annabelle raised her head and Alistair was

looking at her, "You had lost some weight lately, eat more!"

Annabelle nodded, "Okay!"

Nancy was watching from the side. After that, she looked at Annabelle and said, "That's right, Sister

Annabelle. You really looked skinnier now and you should eat more!"

Sister Annabelle…

Annabelle raised her gaze and looked at Nancy. Nancy looked back and her and blinked her eyes,

"Can I call you this way?"

Could she refuse? Annabelle nodded and smiled, "Of course you can!"

"Yeah, we are one family. You don't have to hold back!" Madam Mu said, "Nancy, you don't have to

treat yourself like an outsider. Eat more!" As she said that, she helped Nancy get more food.

"Okay, got it!" Nancy smiled. Her obedient and girly temperament could win their heart easily.

Annabelle continued to eat quietly. Probably it was because of her pregnancy or other issues, she

didn't have much of an appetite. She didn't eat much.

It was quite late after the dinner.

Annabelle wanted to go back to her own apartment but the grandmother asked them to stay for the

night. Annabelle didn't know how to reject her and stayed.

Zen asked Annabelle to go to his study room.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Annabelle looked at Zen and asked.

"Have a seat." Zen said.

Annabelle nodded and sat right opposite him.

"I saw that you look pale and weak lately. Are you feeling any discomfort in your body?"

Annabelle shook her head, "No, maybe I was just too tired!"

"No matter what, make sure to take care of your body!"

"Yeah, I will!" Annabelle nodded.

"Are you looking for me just for this?" Annabelle looked at Zen and asked.

"Actually it was nothing. I simply want to ask you if you know Kaleb Hua. Do you?" Zen asked

suddenly.

When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned. She hadn't thought that Zen would ask her that so

suddenly. After that, she nodded, "I do know him, why?"

"It's nothing, I simply heard Alistair mentioning that you saved him in the past!"

Annabelle nodded, "It was just a simple help to buy him medicine. It's not as exaggerated as saving his

life!"

When Zen heard that, he nodded, "So that was it!"

Annabelle smiled, "I know that a lot of people said he was a mobster and he even went to jail.

However, everyone has their past. In my opinion, he isn't any different than anyone else. Not only that, I

found him to be a nice person!"

When Zen heard Annabelle's comment, he looked at her, "Did the two of you had any other interactions

after that?"

Annabelle nodded, "Yeah, we met a few times!"

"Then…" When Zen's words was right in his mouth, he stopped abruptly. He looked at Annabelle and

didn't know how he should say. After contemplating for a while, he said, "If that's the case, I am restful."

Annabelle looked at Zen. She had a feeling that he wanted to say something but he was hesitant.

"Don't worry, I will be just fine!"

"Yeah, I believe in your discernment and you would be able to tell. If that's the case, I don't need to

worry."

Annabelle smiled.

"Okay, it's late now, you should rest earlier!"

"Okay, you too!"

"Alright!"

Annabelle got up and wanted to walk outside. At that time, Zen recalled something all of a sudden and

he looked at Annabelle, "Annabelle…"

Annabelle stopped by her track and turned her head back to look at Zen, "Is there anything else?"

Zen looked at her and contemplated for a long while. After that, he said, "Don't mind about Nancy…"

Annabelle was stunned. She knew what Zen was trying to say. After that, she nodded with a smile, "I

know, I won't!"

Zen nodded his head restfully and Annabelle walked out.

When Annabelle thought about what Zen said, not minding Nancy…

Her lips curled up. Did how she feel even matter?

In addition, she didn't want to think too much about it as well. She felt sleepy again and she went back

to her room to rest.

Right when she got back into her room, Alistair looked at her, "You're done talking with dad?"

"Yeah!" Annabelle nodded.

"What did dad talk to you about?"

"Nothing much. He simply asked me some questions about Kaleb Hua!" Annabelle said indifferently.

Kaleb Hua?

When Alistair heard that, he was stunned. The man's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he recalled what

happened in the wedding party previously.

The moment Zen saw Kaleb Hua, he had a shocked expression. Now that he asked about Kaleb Hua

again…

When he was thinking about that, their room door was knocked.

Alistair came back to his senses and went to open the door.

At that time, Nancy was standing by the doorstep, "Alistair, there is something wrong with the computer

in my room. I can't switch it on. Can you help me? I want to make a video call with daddy later!" Nancy

said.

When Alistair heard that, he smiled, "Okay, I will go over shortly!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" After saying that, Nancy smiled and walked away.

Annabelle was in the inner room and she heard their conversation clearly.

At that time, Alistair walked back to her and looked at her, "Nancy's computer has some problem and

I'll go take a look. You should rest first. I will come back in just a moment!"

Annabelle nodded, "Okay!"

Alistair went closer and kissed Annabelle's forehead. After that, he turned around and left.

After the door was closed, Annabelle felt that her heart sank a little. However, she told herself not to

overthink and tried to maintain a good mood…
