The Heiress Chapter 43

Myanmar

the buzzing of her phone and the identical ring tone she used for her dad, made Hui Yin irritated

'after all these months of not talking to me, you suddenly call? Hmph!'

Although she complained, she still took the call, after all, it was her beloved father calling .

"Dad?"

"wow, my baby's using such a cold tone to speak to her poor daddy~"

"what do you want?" she wasn't going to give him the chance to act like nothing happened

"awww~~ Daddy feels sad"

"I'm hanging up"

"ahh wait Yin, I haven't spoken to you in such a long time . Couldn't I at least hear your voice? Dad misses you"

'misses me? hmph!hmph!!'

"you've heard it"

" . . . . I'm sorry" her anger began to break . . truly, she couldn't stay mad at him .

"hmm"

"I know I haven't talked to you for months now . . truth is . . I've been staying with a friend of mine in a secluded island . It was hard to get a signal . Yin, forgive daddy . . please?"

"Daddy . . how have you been?"

"ahhh?? does this mean you forgive me now?"

"en"

"haha daddy loves daughter best!"

"mm"

"are you doing well, my dear?"

"en, I'm very happy here"

"that's good, really good"

"how about daddy?"

"eh? I'm good . . really well"

"ohhh then you should really have more fun in the island, should we go there next time? together?"

" . . . . . sure!sure!! I'm excited now!!"

"en, dad, I have a question"

"hmm what is it?"

"about my past . . . remember that I had gaps in my memories? Well . . . I was wondering if you could tell me?"

"eh? Oh I'm sorry Yin, I have forgotten as well . . don't worry, you might remember them when you're older"

"yeah? okay, nevermind then"

" well Yin, I have to rest now . . "

"okay dad, rest well"

"en"

"I love you daddy"

"And I to you"

After the call, Hui Yin calmed down and was able to sleep for the rest of the night .

. . .

China

the call ended and he engaged into fits of coughing that he gasped for breath .

"Mr . Hui, why did you lie?"

Hui Han just smiled wryly . She just couldn't be gullible all the time right? What would happen if he'll pass away soon? He had to be strong for them both . . .

He teared up . To say he wasn't scared of dying was a lie . He was scared, scared of leaving his only daughter behind . . in this cruel world .

"I won't die" that's right, I will fight for both of us, Yin . Becaude dad loves you .

"Xia, make sure Yin doesn't remember her forgotten memories . Please . . . . at least . . stall it until she remembers"

Hearing that he didn't call her in such a formal way meant that this was personal . Being his friend and employee for the past many years, of course she would comply .

"alright, I will do my best"

Even she didn't want Hui Yin, the little girl, to know such a cruel past .

16 years ago . An hour after the incident

.

.

.

"Mr . Hui, we still couldn't find the young miss"

"WHAT??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU COULDN'T FIND HER HUH?!?!?" Mr . Hui roared . His son had just died, now, he was facing another cruel reality . His daughter had gone missing!

His heart felt like it was being stabbed again and again . He was going crazy . Amidst the silence of the room from the pressure, his phone rang

It was an unknown number

"Mr . Hui, I don't think you should pick that"

"Silence!!"

Despite his rage, he hid his emotions displaying serene calmness in his voice

"hello?"

"If you want to see your daughter alive, be sure to go to xxxxxx alone"

the call ended like it never came .

"Mr . Hui we should call the police" Ms . Xia pleaded and it made him ponder whether he should or shouldn't . But all thoughts were flushed in the drain when a video was sent .

"open it"

The video showed his little girl . Her hands were tied and her mouth was gagged, she was dirty like the time she played with mud in the rain . . . but this wasn't the rain . . she wasn't playing

She was struggling to talk, a gun was aimed at her head but she didn't stop struggling . He couln't tear his eyes away from her

"Mmmmmpphhh!!! Mmmmmphh!!! Daddy!!! Don't come! they killed brother!! they're planning to---umph!!!" the man holding the gun hit her on the head hardly, she fainted .

"brat!"

"If you want to save her, be here in an hour"
