Chapter 126 – Decision
Michael glanced at Zee anxiously as he asked, "You know that Zian was kidnapped?".
Hearing Michael's question, Zee turned to look at him then nodded, "The devil did it, he even asked me to kill Charles!".
Hearing Zee's confession, Larry was surprised. With his dark expression, he stared intently at Zee.
"What do you mean? Charles is dead? How is that possible? Did you kill him?".
Zee nodded without hesitation "Yes".
Larry's gaze immediately lit up, he clenched his fists while looking cynically at Zee saying, "Why did you do that? Why did you kill my brother? I can't accept this, let's fight!".
Michael fixed his seat then glanced lazily at Larry.
"You think Charles is an easy person to kill? Zee isn't his match. So calm down!" Michael said casually.
"You're right! Then where is he? And how is he now?". Larry asked Michael and Zee after he managed to control his emotions.
Zee smiled slyly as she smirked at Larry.
"Seeing you like this makes me even more convinced to exchange Ley with his Papa!". Zee said loudly.
Larry was really confused by Zee's words.
"What do you mean?". Asked Larry.
"Ley and Zian are now in that demon's hands. Ley will be released as long as I can exchange him for his Papa!". Zee replied regretfully.
"Then tell his papa right now!". Michael said while glaring at Zee.
"Who exactly is Ley's papa?". Larry asked with a pounding heart because he was starting to have complicated feelings when he heard Ley had also been kidnapped.
Zee glanced at Larry with a dark expression.
"Don't you feel you and Ley have something in common?" Zee asked forcefully.
"So you mean Ley is my son? And the woman I saw that morning was you? But how can that be?". Asked Larry in amazement.
"Yes, he is your son!" Zee replied while turning her face away from Larry because she still didn't want to say Ley was Larry's son.
Larry immediately covered his face, he then cried and did not think that his hunch had been right.
"Then we must immediately rescue Ley and Zian!" Michael said, interceding in Larry and Zee's conversation.
Larry's expression was very dark because he had fallen in love with Ley who turned out to be his own son, and hearing Ley was kidnapped made him lose his cool.
Immediately Larry got up from his seat, after which he made a call to his best friend in London.
"Hello, Gerry?".
"Hello, Larry… How can I help you?".
"Find the location of the Black Star Leader right now, and help me rescue the two small children who are being held, hostage!"
"I will find the location! However, I can't guarantee that I can save them, but I will try to move my men!".
"Okay".
After making the call, Larry's expression grew darker and colder so he looked even colder than Charles.
Just then Michael's cell phone suddenly rang and it was from an unknown number, with a little hesitation Michael shifted the green icon on his cellphone.
"Hello!".
"Hello Michael Walton, how are you Mr. Walton's favorite grandson?".
"Are you the Black Star Devil?".
"Wow, you're so good at guessing. Alright, I'll just go ahead, leave the W Group to me then I'll return Zian to your family, healthy and whole!".
"Oh, so it turns out you're a power freak?"
"Hahahaha, how could I be crazy when basically W Group should have been mine from the start".
"Very well, I will fulfill your request!".
"Good then, then meet me in London and bring the transfer of power papers and sign them all! After that, we will make an exchange, how?".
"I agree". After hanging up, Michael looked back at Larry and Zee.
"Was that a devil earlier?" Larry asked after seeing Michael end his conversation.
"What does he want?" Zee asked impatiently too.
"He wants the W Group swapped for those poor kids!". Michael replied.
"What's your decision?". Asked Larry again.
"I'm going to London to take care of it!" Michael answered with a heavy heart.
"You will give your life to him? Then you want to leave Sophia again for the second time after she is pregnant, is that so?". Zee shouted, very annoyed.
After all, Zee knows how Sophia struggles when Michael leaves her.
Unknowingly, Sophia overheard their conversation from behind the door.
Instantly, Sophia covered her mouth so that her cries wouldn't be heard, but she couldn't hold it in anymore because she didn't want to be left behind a second time.
With her weak hands, Sophia opened the door to Michael's study.
"Honey, why are you here?" Michael asked worriedly when he saw Sophia in tears.
Sophia didn't care about Michael, instead, she walked towards Zee.
"Zee, tell me the truth! Is my husband really going to leave me again?".
Zee looked at her best friend's face in confusion, after that she looked at Michael and Larry with the intention of asking for help.
"Honey, you misunderstood! I couldn't possibly leave you! So, what you heard was certainly wrong, right Zee?". Michael tries to calm Sophia's heart and asks Zee for support.
"Yes, it is true!". Zee answered while nodding her head towards Sophia.
Even though it was explained, Sophia continued to cry, she couldn't imagine if Michael really left her again when she was pregnant.
Suddenly Sophia's head became dizzy, her breathing was irregular, and soon Sophia fell unconscious.
Seeing Sophia holding her head, Michael immediately supported her body which was about to fall to the floor.
"Gosh, honey, wake up!". Michael was very panicked to see his wife slumped weakly in his arms.
After that Michael immediately lifted Sophia's body into his arms.
"You two go to London first! I'll catch up as soon as I finish taking care of Sophia!". Michael said before he took Sophia out.
Zee and Larry, who were still shocked to see Sophia fainted, immediately woke up when they heard Michael's orders.
"Okay". Larry and Zee answered at the same time.
After that, they left Michael's study.
Larry and Zee wasted no time, they immediately prepared to leave for London.
Hospital.
Meanwhile, Michael looks restless waiting in the downtown hospital ER.
Michael panicked and paced unsteadily, he couldn't wait for the doctor to come out of the ER with a worried and confused expression.
Because Michael couldn't imagine if something happened to Sophia and her child for the second time.
"Michael, how's Sophia doing?". When Michael sank into panic, the sound of his mother's greeting sounded soft in his ears, he immediately looked up with bloodshot eyes.
"She is being examined by a doctor, do you know where we are from here?".
"Larry, who told me! He also said that Sophia was pregnant, is that true?". Asked Mrs. Anggi anxiously.
Instantly Michael nodded weakly.
"Yes she is pregnant and only one month old!".
"Thank God! But, why did she faint?". Asked Mrs. Anggi curiously.
"She heard my talk, and she thought I would leave her like before!".
"How can you think of leaving her again?". Asked Mrs. Anggi cynically.
"It's not like that, Mother! She only heard half of my conversation with Larry so she passed out first without hearing my explanation!". Michael replied with a regretful expression.
"Then we wait for Sophia to realize that after that you have to explain to her so she doesn't misunderstand. I don't want to lose my grandson for the second time". Said Mrs. Anggi firmly.
"Yes, mom!". Michael replied.
After that Mrs. Anggi sat beside Michael anxiously because the doctor had not yet come out.
"Michael, what about Zian?" Asked Mrs. Anggi worriedly as she remembered Zian.
Michael seemed to take a deep breath, after that he took out his cellphone and made a call to his father without answering his mother's question.
"Hello?". Mr. Walton is on the other end of the line.
"Father, do you and grandfather have enemies?". Asked Michael.
Mr. Walton was silent for a moment.
"I think there are many enemies, because that's how a businessman is, and some people don't like his success!" Mr. Walton after a long silence.
"Have you ever heard of someone who wants to seize the W Group?". Michael asked again.
"There doesn't seem to be any". Mr. Walton doubtfully.
Without saying anything, Michael hung up the call because he couldn't find any clues from his father.
"It seems I'm facing a mysterious enemy!" Michael thought.
