Chapter 130: The Debt
Yera was having a very unsettled feeling because Xander’s number was still off. She thought a little and dialed her father-in-law instead and informed him what happened from the time they went to her mother-in-law’s grave.
"Alright daughter. Don’t fret... I’m sure Xander is fine. For now, let him be alone. He probably wants time to be alone and he doesn’t want you to see his vulnerable side so he had gone away for a while . I’m sure he will soon contact you. Are you still in the hospital?" Senior Yang asked from the other side.
Yera sighed and answered, "No father. I’m out right now. I wanted to look for him since I’m worried about him really."
Senior Yang’s forehead wrinkled as he instructed firmly, "Oh dear go home directly instead. I will take care of the matter. Come home..."
Senior Yang ended the call and dialed Assistant Ron immediately. "Tell me what happened." he ordered in his serious voice. Assistant Ron on the other line reported to the Old Master that Xander found out the truth about the incident of his mother’s death.
Senior Yang’s shoulders dropped when he came to know everything and he helplessly uttered, "Alright. I understand." He ended the call and massaged his temples. Nothing could remain hidden, that was definitely for real. The truth had to come out some day, one way or another, and it was bound to disturb Xander like this. He was sure Xander would have gone to his private villa to come to terms with everything.
He was inside his room resting. He stood up and grabbed the picture frame of his wife kept on his bedside table and sat on his couch. "Love, I’m sure our son is very hurt right now and scared at the same time," he murmured while staring at his late wife’s photo in which Kanya was smiling brightly, the same bright and beautiful smile his son Xander had inherited from her. He knew his son well. Xander must be scared and afraid his wife would find out about it.
"Love, should I try to help our son out?" he whispered as he lovingly touched the photo frame as if caressing Kanya’s cheeks, then suddenly the thought of talking to her daughter-in-law came to him. He would tell everything to Yera once she was back because he knew it would be hard for Xander to do so. He was also sure that Xander would be in a dilemma at that moment about, whether to disclose the matter to Yera or not.
