Mo Zhexuan slowly opened his eyes and found himself still lying on the soft big bed, but there was nothing in his arms. It turned out that the warm and touching scene was just a dream.
This sudden reality made him feel an indescribable sense of loss. Recalling everything that happened in his dream, he felt as if the sleeping baby was right in front of him.
Especially when he was holding the baby, his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if there really was some kind of mysterious blood connection between the two of them.
The strong emotional fluctuations made him almost believe that the baby was his own child. It felt incredible.
"Don't stand there, it's almost eight o'clock! Get up quickly and have breakfast. You still have to go to Deep Water Bay Golf Club to meet Li Ka-shing at nine o'clock." Guan Jiahui turned around and saw Mo Zhexuan still sitting there in a daze, and hurriedly urged him.
Mo Zhexuan finally woke up from his dream. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and rubbed his cheeks with both hands, trying to dispel the sleepiness and make himself more awake.
Then he suddenly jumped up and quickly went into the bathroom to wash up. The water washed over his face, bringing a hint of coolness.
After washing up, he changed into a set of light sportswear, but he was wondering why all business tycoons like to play golf and talk business?
Is it fun to carry such heavy equipment and bend over to hit such a small ball every day? Moreover, building a golf course consumes such a huge amount of land and resources just to satisfy the desires of a very small number of people. It is too extravagant!
In his previous life, after he became a fund manager, in order to please investors and attract investment, he would play golf with them whenever he had time, and even worked as a miserable caddy for a while at the beginning.
This also allowed his technical level to improve day by day, but deep down he really didn't like playing this kind of thing. Playing it for a long time would cause damage to his waist, shoulders and neck.
After finishing breakfast, Mo Zhexuan immediately got into his Cadillac Seville and closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was indeed full of mixed thoughts. In today's meeting, one party was bound to give in.
Li Ka-shing was able to snatch the big piece of fat, the Miramar Hotel, from Li Ka-shing in later life. How could he be an ordinary person? No one dared to take it lightly until the last moment.
Although he had reached an agreement with Jardine Matheson Chairman John Newby, what if something unexpected happened? Newby was, after all, just an employee. Even if he owned some shares, they were the smallest shareholder possible.
The family that truly controls Jardine Matheson is still the Keswick family. According to historical records, after Newbigin was dismissed in September this year, his successor was Simon Keswick, the younger brother of former Jardine Matheson chairman Henry Keswick.
Just as Mo Zhexuan's thoughts were racing, the Cadillac Seville sedan also stopped steadily at its destination - the Deep Water Bay Golf Course parking area.
...............
At the same time, in a quiet ward of Queen Mary Hospital.
On the hospital bed, the blonde, blue-eyed white woman looked pale, tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes, wetting her cheeks.
Her eyes were fixed on the baby held tightly in the man's arms, her eyes full of pleading and helplessness.
"Brother, please let my child go! He is so young and innocent..."
"Lilia! I'll give you one last chance. Tell me, who is the father of this child?"
Peter's voice was cold and stern. He held up the baby in his hands. The little life looked extremely fragile in his raised hands, as if it would suffer an unpredictable fate in the next moment.
"I..." Lilia's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was trembling and weak.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that wonderful night, and the face of a handsome oriental man instantly appeared before her eyes.
"You still haven't told me yet! Then don't blame me for being cruel." Peter gritted his teeth, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
His clenched hands trembled slightly, as if he was about to loosen them at any moment, leaving the baby in his arms to fend for itself.
At this moment, a clear and loud cry broke the silence of the ward. The cry was like the sound of nature, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Waaaaa--!" The baby wrinkled his face, closed his eyes tightly, and burst into tears, his voice loud and powerful.
His crying was full of helplessness and longing, as if he was looking for his mother's arms, expressing his hunger and anxiety through crying.
"Lilia! Your actions bring shame to our family. My patience is limited. Once I tell my father, you will have to think about the consequences!"
Peter sighed, looking at the baby with a broken heart. After all, this was his nephew! Even if he was cruel and ruthless to his enemies, he was still a relative connected to him by blood.
"I...said, this is what happened..." When Lilia thought of her father's stern and majestic face, the defenses in her heart completely collapsed.
She spilled the beans from a bamboo tube, telling the whole story in detail, her voice revealing endless regret and pain.
At the end, Lilia took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to add:
"This matter has nothing to do with him. He actually saved me. Brother! I beg you, don't hurt him."
"Are you talking about the Mo Zhexuan who is currently hotly discussed in the media?" Peter frowned and asked.
"Yeah." Lilia responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
"I will send someone to escort you back to your country tomorrow, and you will never be able to set foot outside the country again." Peter's tone was unquestionable. He looked at Lilia firmly, as if he had already made the final decision.
Then, his gaze turned to the baby breastfeeding in Lilia's arms, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
He whispered, "Baby, I will find him a good family, don't worry."
When Lilia heard this, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly shouted: "Brother!"
Peter paused slightly, turned around, and saw Lilia looking at him pleadingly.
"Can you... give the baby to Mo Zhexuan? I promise to follow my family's arrangements from now on."
Peter looked at Lilia's pleading eyes, finally nodded, and left the ward without looking back.
"Adam... Mommy is sorry for you. You must live well and grow up healthy."
Lilia looked at the child in her arms with a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with deep apology and reluctance.
She thought of Mo Zhexuan's face again, and a complex emotion arose in her heart, and she sighed softly.
"I hope you can treat him well, otherwise, I swear I will tear you into pieces."
