Janell lay face down on the bed, she stared at her wrist. It seemed that there were still traces of the warmth from the President's fingertips when he applied the ointment on her wrist.
When he applied the ointment for her, he was so focused and serious, and she saw some hint of sympathy on his face. He was a dignified President of a country.
There was an inauguration ceremony today, but he actually took time to save her from Andrew Carter's hands. Not only did he save her, but he also asked her to get in his car. Moreover, he personally applied some ointment for her and sent her back to the Lesley family. He also ordered her to stay with the Lesley family instead of a hotel.
As she thought deeper, Janell's heart was beating faster... If he was not her Brother Lucas, how could he, the formidable President of a country, be so free and available to spend this time with her? She was very skeptical.
However, if he was her Brother Lucas and he treated her nicely, then why wouldn't he admit it? Janell could not understand. She turned around anxiously, and then tossed herself to the side of the bed. She remained on her bed for a few hours, but she did not feel tired at all. She tried hard to make sense of everything.
"Janell, say something. If you don't say a word, you will suffer along." Samantha Lesley did not dare to get too close. She was worried that Janell, who was in a fit of anger, would kick her away.
"Samantha!" Janell suddenly jackknifed into a sitting position and looked at her dear friend. "You just called your President Brother Nathaniel. Are you close to him?"
Samantha scratched her head and said, "I'm not very close to him. It's just that my family has a good relationship with him. Five years ago, my brother was officially transferred to work by his side. I don't have my parents anymore, so he probably felt bad, I guess, and he was okay that I called him brother."
In fact, Samantha had a stronger sense of admiration for him. To her, Nathaniel was a perfect being who was larger than life. She already felt happy enough to be able to look at him from a distance.
Actually, Samantha was a little afraid of Nathaniel. Most of the time, even though she saw that he was smiling, she still did not dare to approach him. She always felt that he hid his true self and seemed unapproachable.
"Samantha, you have a brother who loves you very much, and you are also a very amazing person. You don't need anyone's sympathy. Don't belittle yourself in the future." In Janell's view, everyone was an independent person and had their own purpose in life. Everyone was irreplaceable.
"Haha! Janell, you're the one who treats me the best." Samantha was a girl who would get satisfied easily.
When she first arrived in New York, she was a new student in the class and she did not like to talk. Hence, she was often left out by her classmates. Only Janell was willing to play with her.
Janell was a well-known figure in school. People paid attention to her not only because she was the precious daughter of the Carter family who owned Shengtian Corporation Inc, but also because her academic performance was exceptionally outstanding. She only needed two years to complete a course that would take others about three to four years to complete.
She had a powerful family, she looked beautiful, her EQ was high, and her academic performance was superb. She was perfect, and everyone was nice to her. Hence, in her school, everyone watched and followed her every move. Naturally, anyone would also notice the friends she kept around her.
After Samantha became Janell's friend, no one in the school dared to push her away. She became a middle person for everyone to get closer to Janell.
In school, in order to flatter Janell, many people would find a way to give Janell some valuable gifts through Samantha. Samantha was hesitant to accept them at first. Janell asked her to accept those gifts anyway, so she would donate them to the children in the welfare home after.
From then on, Samantha knew Janell better. On one hand, she could be as evil as a demon, but on another hand, she could be as beautiful as an angel.
As for her, she had a passive character. Throughout her life, her brother was in charge of her affairs. After she became friends with Janell, needless to say, she listened to Janell's words.
Janell glanced at Samantha and said, "Don't pretend to be good in front of me. You have to remember that your brother is the one who treats you the best."
"Your brother is also very kind to you." Samantha had met Andrew Carter before. That person was usually not talkative, but he was really good to Janell.
Not only did she meet Andrew before, she had also met Janell's eight-year-old brother and her parents from afar. She admired the Carter family's genes tremendously. Every single one of them was extremely good-looking.
"Don't mention that person in front of me." Janell did not want to talk about that person at all. He was not her brother. No brother would destroy a photo after knowing that his sister was going to look for it.
Janell pursed her lips and said, "Could you ask your brother on my behalf? Did your President ever leave Country A when he was about 16 years old?"
Although Nathaniel was unwilling to admit to her, Janell still believed in her guts. She would never give up until she figured everything out.
"You don't have to ask my brother about these things. You just need to ask me. Our new President is the third son of the former President. He had been staying in the country all the time. It's impossible for him to wander outside for so long."
Samantha was completely sure. Although she was not close to him, her brother told her a lot of stories.
"No way, you need to get another confirmation again." If she still could not prove that the new President of Country A was her Brother Lucas this time, then she would give up.
"Janell, I can ask my brother for you, but you have to promise me that we need to calm down in the future. You can't leave me and abandon me like today anymore." Samantha had never seen Janell lose control of her emotions before.
Fortunately, the President was kind and sent Janell back to her house personally. Otherwise, as a host, she really did not know what to do.
Since the President disappeared for an hour without prior warning, the meeting was delayed for an hour. Hence, the meeting ended very late. It was even later in the night after Jason Lesley completed his work and got back home.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the two little girls sitting at the dining table in the dining hall. They tried to keep themselves busy but their heads kept dropping down. They were so sleepy but still they refused to sleep.
"Cough!" He coughed heavily to awaken the two girls. Janell and Samantha woke up with a jerk at the same time. When they turned around, they saw Jason's serious face.
Janell quickly pulled the corner of Samantha's shirt and gave her a wink. However, Samantha was so sleepy that she forgot what they had discussed earlier. She asked stupidly, "Janell, is there something in your eyes?"
Janell's face changed. How could she ever get things done being friends with this foolish person? How could she trust Samantha that she could help her get things done well?
Maybe Samantha wasn't the problem here, but instead, Janell was too anxious to find Brother Lucas as quickly as possible.
742
"Ahem." Janell covered her mouth and coughed politely to cover up her embarrassment.
"Janell, are you okay?" Samantha Lesley quickly poured Janell a glass of water and spoke calmly, "The weather's a little hot these days. You need to drink more water."
The small volcano in Janell's heart was about to erupt. She really wanted to dig a hole and bury Samantha in it. Forget it, she couldn't understand her hint.
She told Samantha blatantly, "Samantha, didn't you just tell me that you want to wait until your brother gets home to have dinner together, since you have something to ask him?"
After Janell's hint, Samantha finally remembered their plan. She smiled awkwardly at Janell and then ran towards Jason Lesley. "Brother, you are back?"
Jason shot her a glance and said nothing. Samantha scratched her head and continued with a silly smile, "Brother, you've had a long day today. I've asked the helper to prepare your favourite dish."
"If you have anything to say, just say it to me directly." He did not appreciate Samantha for beating around the bush. His sister would not act like this usually, so she must have needed him to do something today. Jason could guess what was going on.
"Brother, I just want to hear more about Brother Nathaniel and his past. When I was around four years old, and Brother Nathaniel was about sixteen years old, had he ever been to other countries for a few months before?"
Samantha was straightforward. She was a frank person and did not know how to beat around the bush. The two flattering statements earlier were actually taught by Janell.
"You child, what do you think? Do you think that as a future President, it was possible for him to go to other countries and stay abroad for a few months?"
While talking to Samantha, Jason was actually looking at Janell instead, who was pretending to eat seriously and eavesdropping on their conversation. It seemed that their Mr. President really knew this little girl well and knew that she would not give up so easily.
The President expected this already and gave Jason a heads up before he returned home. Hence, Jason practiced his answer well.
"Oh, I knew it." Hearing Jason's answer, Samatha expressed her satisfaction and gave Janell a proud look. She wanted to tell Janell that she was right.
Janell was speechless. At this moment, Janell had only one plan in mind, which was to stop being friends with Samantha and ignore this fool in the future.
Samantha did not care much about anything else. She was so excited that she asked the helpers to prepare dinner. "Janell, I've also asked them to prepare your favorite dishes today. You have to eat more later."
Janell smiled politely and said, "Sure, thanks Samantha!"
Actually, she was feeling very full. She was actually full of anger because of this silly Samantha. But, she had high emotional intelligence, so she would not show her emotions easily.
After hearing the conversation between the siblings, Janell understood one thing clearly. To know if Mr. President was truly her Brother Lucas, the Lesley family was of no help. She had to find another way.
Jason was Nathaniel's trusted subordinate. Even if Nathaniel had been wandering overseas, this information would definitely be confidential, so how could he spread this information out?
Early September was the best time of the year in Country A. The temperature in the capital city was cooling and breezy enough to feel comfortable. However, the temperature difference between the day and night was quite huge.
During daytime, the.weather was comfortable, but at night, it would get very chilly. Today, it began to drizzle suddenly after midnight, and the wind had gotten stronger too.
After dinner, Janell returned to her room alone and turned on her laptop to search for relevant information about the President on the internet.
Regardless of whatever news she could find, which included both the good and bad news of the President, she recorded them clearly in a file as she wanted to compare the news later on. If there was something wrong with the timeline of the news, or if there were other loopholes, she could definitely detect it.
Since she was a child, Janell had been very serious when she carried out her tasks, especially since this matter was related to her Brother Lucas. When she got busy, she would not even keep track of time.
It was not until the sky outside the window had turned bright that she realized that she had not slept for a whole night. She was about to get up and wash her face when she sneezed several times.
At night, the temperature was very cold and she forgot to close the windows. The cold wind blew into the room as she sat on her desk working.
"Achoo..." She looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes and nose turned red. She looked like a poor little white rabbit. If her family saw her like this, they would definitely feel upset.
Just like in the past, whenever she caught a cold or had a fever, it would wreck havoc at home. From her grandparents to her Little Precious, all of them were so considerate and caring towards her.
Thinking of her family, Janell felt very warm in her heart... But when she thought that her actions recently would make them worry, she blamed herself a little.
"Grandma and Grandpa, don't be sad. When I managed to find Brother Lucas , and after I met him, I would definitely fly back as soon as possible."
Her grandparents were getting old, and it was their pleasure to take care of their granddaughter and grandson. When their youngsters were not by their side, they would feel very restless.
The day before her birthday, her grandfather took her hand and said that he had prepared a special birthday gift for her coming-of-age celebration. He would give it to her on her birthday.
However, she left her family and ran away on her birthday. This was definitely not what a considerate child would do.
"Daddy and Mommy... I know that you love me very much. I know that by running away, it would break your heart. However, for so many years now, I have only one wish. If I can't find Brother Lucas, I will not feel at ease for the rest of my life."
"Daddy, Mommy... you will support me, won't you?" Janell was in a foreign land, and at this moment, she really needed her family to give her strength.
After talking to herself in the mirror, Janell smiled brightly, "Janell, come on! As long as you work hard, you will definitely find your Brother Lucas. Your parents love you so much, and they will definitely support you."
Yes, she believed in hard work and determination. Her father had told her the same words since she was a child, so she carried on the belief and did very well in her school and college.
She graduated earlier than her peers. Now that she had to face society alone, she would certainly face many problems that she had never encountered before. However, it did not matter. As the saying goes, 'When there's a will, there's always a way.' Nothing could taunt her. She needed to trust herself.
She took a nap first, and after she woke up, she would continue searching for Brother Lucas !
743
Janell caught a cold and had high fever. The fever made her feel dizzy and groggy, and she felt so disoriented. She felt that she was being steamed alive. Her body had long been covered in sweat, drenching her thin pyjamas. "Water..." After a long time, she tried calling out painfully.
Janell felt that she had almost lost her voice, and the water in her body almost dried up. She really wanted to drink water, but she was so weak that she did not have any strength at all. She barely had any energy to move her lips.
After struggling internally for a while, she fell asleep drowsily again. Her family had taken good care of her throughout her growing years and she had been practicing dancing and martial arts since she was a child, hence she was a healthy and fit person.
However, since she was born prematurely and nearly lost her life during infancy, she had a poor immune system. Normally, when she was not sick, she was just a lively child in the pink of health. However, once she fell sick, it would be difficult for her to recover.
She was like that since she was very young, so whenever she fell sick, her family would be fussing all around her.
Two years ago, when she was 16 years old, she attended her birthday party organized by her classmates. Since the party was outdoors, she was caught in the rain, and she caught a cold after going home. That time, her father was so worried and felt so bad that he wanted to demolish the event space where the party was held. Fortunately, her mother was more rational and dissuaded her father from doing so.
During that time, she stayed in bed for half a month.and recovered really slowly. She felt so terrible and sad. Therefore, she was especially afraid of falling sick. Usually, her diet was strictly planned by a nutritionist. She always tried her best to keep herself healthy. She did not want her father and mother to worry about her. She couldn't bear to watch them hurt.
After a long time, Janell felt as if she had just emerged from the depths of hell, she finally regained some consciousness. Her head still felt heavy and her body was scorching hot, but she could vaguely hear people around her whispering.
These voices sounded very unfamiliar. They were not voices of her father, nor her mother, nor any other family members. Janell tried hard to open her eyes and saw an unknown man.
He frowned and said, "Miss Carter's condition is very special. I can't simply prescribe medications."
"Dr. Leopold, isn't this just a high fever? Why can't you give her medicine?" The one who asked the question was Jason Lesley, whose voice sounded very nervous.
Of course, he was nervous. The distinguished guest that Mr. President asked him to take care of had fallen ill at his house. Now that Mr. President had personally arranged for his private doctor to come over, how could he not be nervous?
"I could see that she's physically different than others. The previous doctors must have given her some special antibody drugs. I can't simply prescribe medications until I figure out what medicine the previous doctor had given her."
People with her physique were relatively rare. Once she took the wrong medicine, the consequences would be disastrous, so the doctor could not take the matter lightly.
"But if this high fever continues..." She was burning up. If the fever continued, the organs in her body would get damaged.
The doctor added, "Just talk to her family and have her doctor in charge tell me what antibody drug she used to take."
Janell knew what kind of antibody drug she had taken. She tried hard to open her mouth and wanted to tell the doctor, but she was struggling to even make a sound.
"Samantha, do you have the contact of her family members?" Jason looked at Samantha Lesley, who had been fretful and worried for a long time now that she was sobbing.
"I..." Samantha wiped her tears and said, "I don't know her family's contact. I don't know anything."
She was so anxious that she scratched her head. She had been classmates and friends with Janell for so many years. Why didn't she have any other means to contact her family members?
Jason said, "It's okay if you don't know. Don't cry."
He shook his head helplessly at his sister. Just when he was caught in a daze, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. He took the phone out and saw that it was a phone call from the President's office. He answered it immediately and greeted respectfully, "Mr. President?"
Not knowing what Mr. President had said at the other end of the phone, Jason kept nodding. Finally, he said, "I know, I'll tell Dr. Leopold immediately."
Jason really admired how the President knew about these petty matters before anyone else. However, Nathaniel didn't need to assign someone else to investigate her personal affairs.
When he.was accompanying Little Jane in the past, the doctors would inject her with antibody drugs every week. He remembered them well.
Jason updated Dr. Leopold, and he prescribed her medications appropriately. Not long after Janell was prescribed the medications, she felt much better, but she still had fever.
The thermometer showed that her body temperature was over 100 degrees. If she had been treated a little later, it would very likely result in pneumonia. Fortunately, the doctor used the same antibody drug she used to take and took immediate actions to reduce the fever in time.
Janell's temperature did not rise any higher, but the fever was not going away too. The doctor was getting anxious, but he could not act in a hurry. He was aware that she could not take high doses of the drug, so could only wait patiently for her fever to recede slowly.
Due to the fever, Janell lost most of her consciousness and she was very disoriented, but she was still mumbling subconsciously, "Brother Lucas, it's not easy for me to grow up and meet you. You cannot just hide from me."
When Samatha Lesley found out that Janell was sick, the news had spread and made known to Mr. President. That was how Mr. President's private doctor, Doctor Leopold, came to their house immediately to treat Janell.
Mr. President was talking to guests when he heard that Janell kept mumbling about her Brother Lucas in her semi-conscious state. His heart sank, and he felt physically numb throughout his body. He was clenching his fists silently by his side.
Over the years, he had worked harder than anyone else to gain the ability to protect the people he.wanted to protect. However, what was he doing now? His Little Jane was sick and unconscious, yet he could not even stay by her side.
The President was always professional and alert during his work. However, as he just found out that Janell was calling out for him while she was.terribly sick, he got distracted for the first time.
"Mr. President, you are meeting a lot of important people, and this is a live broadcast. People all over the country are watching. The nation supports you because you are a capable President who brings hope. Hence, the people have higher expectations.of you."
As an excellent diplomat, and the most trusted person beside the President, Aaron Paul reminded their President gracefully.
744
This was the first foreign official that the new President had to welcome after he took office. This meeting would affect the future of Mr. President's political career. The meeting would develop good public relations between the two countries, and it was also a significant step for the new President.
Everything needed to be perfect. Anyone sane person would know that this matter was more important than the little girl lying on the bed. Everyone knew what would happen if he mistreated the foreign official and offended the whole country just for the sake of a little girl.
However, Nathaniel Cooper's mind was no longer in the meeting room. Fortunately, he did not stand out among the many candidates just because he was the third son of the former President.
Even though he was worried about Janell's safety and wellbeing, Nathaniel sat down quietly and joined in the conversation seriously. He also made an important speech and shared the development direction of the country in the future, and everyone present praised him unanimously.
Finally, after the meeting with the officials came to an end, Nathaniel requested that the driver drive him to the Lesley house as fast as he could.
"Third Young Master, in an hour, you'll be having dinner with the foreign ambassador." Aaron Paul's words made Nathaniel stop.
Nathaniel raised his wrist to check his watch and spoke coldly, "I will come back on time."
"But..." Aaron still wanted to comment further, but Nathaniel had already left.
Aaron shook his head helplessly and murmured in his heart, "Third Young Master, your nation is your priority. Each of your decisions will affect the fate of our country. You can't ruin our country just because of that child. Don't forget how many eyes are watching you. They are waiting for you to make mistakes so that they can pull you down as soon as possible."
So many pairs of eyes were eyeing him covetously and trying to find a reason to nitpick... Nathaniel was very aware of this.
Aaron knew that Nathaniel understood clearly that it was wrong to do what he was doing and that his actions were very dangerous, but he still took the risk to do it anyway.
Just like many years ago, Nathaniel disregarded Aaron's dissuasion and insisted on going to Santorini by the Aegean Sea to meet the little girl. He did get to meet her, but after they returned to their country, things got way out of hand.
He stayed by Nathaniel's side through it all..It seemed that the only way for their President to fully focus on his tasks at hand was to remove that girl away from his sight forever.
Usually, half an hour would pass in a blink of an eye. However, in the car, Nathaniel felt that time was moving awfully slow..
The drive from the North Palace to the Lesley.house would only take less than 30 minutes if there wasn't any traffic. It was only a short distance away but the car ride seemed dreadfully long today.
Finally, the car arrived at the Lesley house. Before the car stopped, Nathaniel got out of the car eagerly. He rushed into the Lesley house.
"Mr. President, you, you're here?" Even though Jason Lesley knew that Nathaniel cared very much about this little girl, he was still surprised to see him because he was scheduled to meet a lot of foreign officials today.
"Lead the way." Nathaniel went straight to the point.and followed behind Jason to Janel's room. She was lying quietly on the bed. Her face, which looked healthily pink the day before, had long turned pale, and even her attractive pink lips were pale and colorless.
Only one night had passed, and the little girl went from being lively to being unconscious. What on earth had she been doing the whole night? Was she torturing herself? Was she deliberately trying to make him feel sorry for her?
He sat down beside her and held her hand tightly. When he was about to speak, he saw two pieces of paper on her pillow from the corner of his eye. He picked up the paper and saw an eye-catching title, 'Brother Lucas, I will surely find you!'
The following pages included news about him in the past few years. Of course, some of them were real and some were fake. She searched for his information on the Internet last night and had been busy all night...
If he did not deny his identity yesterday, would she still fall sick terribly? As he thought deeper, Nathaniel took a gulp and called out her name softly, "Janell..."
"Brother Lucas..." Janell seemed to have heard her Brother Lucas calling out for her. Unconsciously, Janell moved her lips and responded to him gently.
"Janell, don't be afraid. Your Brother Lucas is here with you!" He adjusted the messy hair on her forehead and lowered his head to kiss her. From a brother to his sister, just like how he would treat her when she was a child.
"Yes, I know!" When she heard Brother Lucas's voice, she answered happily. She had been thinking about meeting Brother Lucas for many years now, and she had dreamed of him countless times.
However, every time she thought or dreamed of him, she could not see him clearly. Today, she could feel Brother Lucas by her side. Perhaps it was just a dream and Brother Lucas would disappear after she woke up...
Therefore, she would rather sleep longer and have more dreams, so her Brother Lucas would accompany her for a longer time.
For the first time, Janell thought that being sick was actually pretty good. She could dream of her Brother Lucas well, and he called her so gently and didn't act like he didn't recognize her.
She was terribly sick, but after hearing his voice, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Nathaniel felt an immense pain in his chest. He was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
From childhood to adulthood, this silly girl had been giving him strength in her unique ways. She showed him that there was someone who was willing to treat him selflessly and constantly care about him, apart from his own parents.
In the past few years, everything that Janell had done and achieved had never disappointed him. On the contrary, he had been hiding in the dark and did not have the courage to reunite with her.
Perhaps it was because Brother Lucas was finally by his side, or maybe it was effects of the.medications, Janell fell sound asleep. Nathaniel called the doctor over and asked, "How's her condition?"
Dr. Leopold answered respectfully, "Miss Carter's health condition is unique. She can't be inserted with an IV tube, but I can use medicine to help break her fever. Mr. President, you can rest assured that as long as her condition is stabilized and she's being looked after, everything will be fine."
After hearing the doctor's words, Nathaniel.breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "Alright, give us a moment."
745
After he sent the people around him away, Nathaniel Cooper looked at Janell Joy Carter again. Looking at her pale face, he couldn't help but to reach out and touch her.
He still remembered that he used to hug her and kiss her pink face, and she would also give him a soft and sweet kiss. In the past, he didn't understand why adults like children who were playful and talkative. But after he met Little Jane, he finally understood why.
As he heard Janell calling his name out gently and innocently, he felt like he owned the world. A child's world was the most innocent of all. They do not hide much and they were innocently honest.
It felt really good to have an innocent child like her to rely on him deeply. When she was happy, he was happy too. When she was sad, you would want to try your very best to bring her bright smile back.
In fact, Janell was not much different from when she was a child. She was no longer chubby, but had grown taller and slimmer. However, despite not seeing her for many years, he was able to recognize her at first glance. She looked almost the same from when she was a child.
"Janell, just hold on and wait for me for awhile." He held her hand and pinched it again and again.
In a trance, Nathaniel remembered that the last time he saw Janell was more than a decade ago. At that time, she was only four years old and looked very cute.
On that day, he told her to be good, but she pouted and cried at him. "I don't want to be good. I only want my Brother Lucas."
Only God knew how badly he wanted to let go of everything and secretly take her away to keep her by his side. Then, they would always be together. However, he thought a lot more from a rational approach.
On that day, he saw her at her parents' wedding. He saw her wearing a small, white wedding dress, and saw her father holding her throughout the ceremony. Even when the priest asked the newly- weds to recite their vows, they didn't leave the little one behind.
At that time, he understood how important she was in her parents' hearts. It was impossible for him to take her away secretly. She was too important in her family, but he was just an outsider to her.
When she still remembered him, she would still rely on him and could not bear to part with him. However, as she grew up, maybe her dependence on him would decrease, and their relationship would fade away...
He had never expected that after more than a decade, this girl would still look for him persistently with the necklace that he had given her.
"Mr. President, you have to return now to have dinner with Mr. Louie. We are twenty minutes away from the dinner place. We can't afford to waste even a second." The secretary who came with Nathaniel interrupted him abruptly.
It took 20 minutes for him to arrive at their house, so it would take approximately 20 minutes to get back too. Dinner was about to.start, so he really couldn't afford to stay any longer.
Nathaniel went from looking at Janell's face to looking at the time on the watch on his wrist. He knew that he was running late, but he still didn't want to leave yet. He didn't want to go, but he had to go...
He let go of Janell's hand very reluctantly. As soon as he let go of her, Janell, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to be frightened and reached out to grab his hand. Nathaniel couldn't bear to leave her hanging, so he continued to hold her.
After holding her hand, her panicked face gradually faded away and she appeared calm. This time, Nathaniel did not pull back his hand. Instead, he turned to the secretary and said, "Tell Aaron that I can't go back. He can do as he sees fit."
What? Do as I see fit? He's not coming back?" Aaron disregarded his cool and yelled out loudly. Even though he knew that their President cared too much about that girl and he would do something unexpectedly, he was still shocked when he heard his secretary's message.
"Yes, Mr. Perth, that's what Mr. President said." The secretary stuttered. He repeated Mr. President's original message and did not leave a single word out.
"He... He really pisses me off." He could only get mad and curse out loud when the President was not around. If the President was there, he could only stay quiet.
The secretary asked, "Mr. Aaron, what should we do now?"
"Tell Miss Silas right away. Tell her that Mr. President suddenly fell ill and she would need to hold the fort." At this period of time, Aaron only had one solution in mind.
"Mr. President is ill?" The secretary hesitated for a moment before he immediately said, "I'll inform her right away."
Using sickness as an excuse could help the President out for this round. This could hold the fort temporarily.
At the same time, Janell's situation also improved a lot. When she opened her eyes, she saw her Brother Lucas for the first time.
"Who are you?" Janell was so excited, but she hid her expressions well. She blinked her eyes and asked weakly.
This face was the face that appeared in her dreams, and he told her not to be afraid. He said that he was her Brother Lucas.But this face was the face of the President of Country A, so was he really her Brother Lucas?
"Oh, you're awake." Nathaniel did not answer her question.
"I asked you, who are you?" She insisted on getting the answer.
"We just met yesterday, didn't we? You don't recognize me already?" He said with a faint smile on his face.
Janell hated his smile. His smile was obviously a fake smile, and she couldn't see his sincerity. "I'll ask again, who are you really?"
He was stubborn, and she was even more stubborn than him. When she woke up, the first thing she saw was him...
Nathaniel was trying hard to find an excuse to convince her that she only carried the good intentions of being a caring President, and did not mean anything more.
He answered, "I'm Nathaniel, and I'm..."
"Then what are you doing here?" She interrupted his words and asked aggressively.
He said calmly, "I heard that you are sick, so I came to see you."
Janell stared at him, bit her lips, and spoke calmly, "Why did you come to see me? There are so many people in Country A. Can you manage to see every sick person?"
He gave her a firm answer, "Because you are the daughter of the leader of Shengtian, Edwin Carter. You should already know why I am here to see you."
