    Chapter 96: Something had Happened to Your Father


    “Tell me if you’re feeling unwell.” Keh stared at her with a serious look. Before Rachel could speak,


    a staff member who passed by them hurriedly greeted Keh. Keh ignored him and walked


    straight to the front. The secretary who was informed of his arrival had waited in the president office for


    a while. “Mr. Shawn, you’ve finallye back. Yesterday…” the secretary asked anxiously. Upon


    noticing Rachel who was behind him, he was startled. He then shut his mouth up and retreated to the

    side.


    Rachel looked at him too. He was the new secretary recruited after Sabrina left? Why was he willing to


    recruit a man now? Keh took off his zer and put it on the chair. He strode to the side to pour a


    cup of hot water and put it on the tea table in front of Rachel. He then ordered casually, “Charlie, give


    me the document that I’ve asked you to prepare.”


    “Oh, oh, okay…it’s right here.” The assistant who was still absent-minded at the side hurriedly opened


    the document he was holding in his arms and handed it to him. He was still in shock. He did not


    mention there would be a guest when he asked him to prepare the document on phone. Also, it was


    not in his schedule. Moreover, he did not manage to contact him when he phoned him for the whole


    day. If he had not called him back this morning, he would have to call the police. He was really curious


    about his own president’s whereabouts when he had gone missing the whole day yesterday.


    And…did he mean to give the water to thedy before him when he poured it?


    “Thank you.” Rachel nodded at him and took over the document. She flipped and browsed the


    document with a serious look. She then said softly after a while as she looked, “It’s not that hard, I can


    try solving it for you.” As she just said that, her phone suddenly rang. Feeling shocked, she quickly took


    it out of her pocket. “Sorry.”


    Noticing it was her mother who made the call, she immediately stood up and walked out. “Excuse me,


    Mr. Shawn, I have to pick up a call.” It was still necessary to act when there was an outsider around.


    Although Keh knew about that, he was still slightly ufortable about that. “No worries.” Rachel


    did not walk far. She only closed the door and stood at the entrance, whispering, “Mom, didn’t I tell you


    I still have to stay in City N for two more days? Why did you call again now?”


    “Rach…Something’s happened to your father. The warden called this morning…, he said your father


    has fainted in the prison.” Theresa’s choking voice was heard intermittently from the phone and her


    voice was full of horror and anxiety. “What?” There was a drastic change in Rachel’s expression and


    tone of voice. Keh who was inside the office heard themotion and with a change in


    expression, he strode towards the door and opened it,pletely ignoring Charlie who was still there.


    “What’s wrong?”


    Rachel’s face seemed to go cadaverous at once. She grasped her phone and tried her best to


    suppress her emotions, yet the ring of her eyes still became slightly red. “I want to go back!” She did


    not understand why such a thing would happen when he had just entered jail for two months.


    Keh’s chest tightened. There must be something urgent happening when she had lost control of


    herself. He walked towards her and held her shoulders gently, speaking with a soft voice, “Don’t worry,


    I’ll go back with you.”


    Charlie who was standing behind him had his mouth agape and closed in a short time. There was no


    need to guess anymore, it seemed like the president had been with that woman all day yesterday.


    Rachel went clear-headed and she instantly put up aposed look. She pushed his arms away and


    took a step back. She then bit her lip and said quickly, “Sorry, I won’t be able to solve yourpany’s


    problem. Something emergency has happened and I have to leave now, goodbye.”


    There was no more time to consider much, what she was thinking now was all about her mother’s


    anxious look at home. After finishing that, she turned and hurriedly left without even cared for their


    reactions. The worry inside Keh grew. Watching her left, he intended to follow her without a single


    hesitance. Seeing that, Charlie quickly reminded him, “Sir, you still have two very important meetings


    today.”


    “Cancel it if you can, if you can’t, postpone it. I’ll exin if there’s any matter.” Having said that curtly,


    he straight away left. Charlie felt speechless. How should he exin? Had he decided to even abandon


    his job for a woman? Yet he did not dare to say anything more and he hurriedly replied, “I got it, Mr.


    Shawn.” When Keh had caught up with her, Rachel was still waiting for the lift while making calls


    and she did not notice him. “Mom, stay calm now. I’ll rush back now and I’ll let Osmond go check dad


    outter.”


    “…”


    After appeasing Theresa, Rachel hung up and started to dial Osmond’s number. A voice suddenly


    came from beside her. “It will be harder to solve the guilt in your heart if you owe him a favour one more


    time.” Rachel was so shocked that she nearly tossed her phone, She turned and frowned while looking


    at him. “Keh Shawn, I really don’t have time to deal with you now. It’s urgent on my mother’s side


    and I have to go back.”


    “To seek for help from those far away when there’s one close at hand, I can see you’re not anxious at


    all.” Keh glimpsed at her. He took out his phone and opened the contact list. “Osmond is awyer,


    and he’s in City N. He’s the only one who can reach my mom the fastest. Keh Shawn, could you


    not bother me at a time like this?” Forget about being guilty, she only wanted to seek for other’s help


    now.


    The door of the lift opened just in time and she walked quickly into it without having the mood to argue


    with him. Keh followed behind her. With a deep and level look, he spoke ndly, “He could help


    you, but do you think it’s impossible for me to find someone? If he could help you regarding your


    father’s matter, he would have done so earlier. Not to mention he still needs to bring a child with him


    everywhere he goes, do you think it’s convenient for him?”


    He seemed to have found someone after finishing his words. He moved his fingers and dialed a


    number. After few seconds had passed, the call was picked up and he spoke, “Mr. Edward, if you’re


    free, I have something that I would like to ask for your help.”


    “…”


    “Yes.”


    “…”


    “Sure, thanks for your help. We’ll discuss more about that when I reach there.”


    Rachel’s expression changed and she was locking her eyes on him. Keh closed his phone and


    slightly looked down at her. The tone of his voice remained the same. “He said he had also just


    received the news and he’s heading there now.” He then extended his hand and caressed her head,


    whispering, “Don’t worry, it’s going to be alright.”


    “Who is he?” Rachel asked. What she actually wanted to ask was how thewyer knew about that.


    Keh looked at her with growing thoughts. “He’s a friend of mine and awyer in City N. I’ve


    appointed him for your father’s case back then.” It was just that before he had started investigating, she


    had given him the divorce agreement and her father’s trial wasing too. She had never mentioned


    her father’s matter in front of him nor asking for his help; therefore he could only secretly ask someone


    to investigate about it if he wanted to help.
