Chapter 284 What Should I Do
Chapter 284 What Should I Do
Carla took a mouthful of porridge and nodded.
"Okay," she said. She agreed to visit Allen without a second thought this time.
When she heard that Carla agreed, Andrea nodded in relief. "Okay! That's good. Callie, you should eat
more..."
Carla was soon finished with her breakfast.
She sat in a wheelchair and went up to Allen's room with Andrea.
Before entering Allen's ward, Carla saw two men in a suit standing outside. From their suits and
appearance, she could tell that the two men were lawyers. At the same time, she also saw Bonnie who
she hadn't seen in the past two days.
Bonnie was a little surprised to see Carla. It was still a little difficult for her to accept Carla's real
identity.
Actually no one told her about Carla's real identity. Not until this morning when she felt that something
was wrong did she finally decide to ask the others.
She was finally told that the biological daughter of the Hua Family was found.
The biological daughter was none other than Carla!
Bonnie was still in disbelief. She still couldn't accept the fact that Carla was the one that Andrea and
Allen were looking for.
She was angry at Carla because she might replace her position in the family one of these days. What
made her angrier was the fact that the person that would be replacing her was her mortal enemy Carla.
When Carla entered Allen's ward, she saw that the two people were listening to him while recording
what he was saying.
When they saw that Carla had entered the ward, the two people stood up and greeted Andrea and her.
Then they both walked out of the ward.
"Callie... Come here..."
Allen, who was lying on the bed, gently waved to Carla to come closer to him.
Andrea closed the door then she pushed Carla towards Allen while saying, "Carla, go on. Get closer to
him and call him Father!"
Carla looked at Allen who was lying on the bed pale faced with weary eyes. She wanted to call him
Father but she felt as if there was something blocking her throat. It was like she was being hindered
from calling him "Father".
It took her a long time before she finally managed to say something. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"... Father."
When he finally heard his daughter call him Father, Allen nodded gratefully and held out his hand to
her.
Carla came in a wheelchair so Andrea pushed her closer beside Allen's bed. Then Andrea excitedly
said, "Allen, did you hear that? Callie is finally calling you Father..."
Allen held Carla's hand tightly. Because of his excitement, his breathing became a little faster.
He cried out to Carla, "Callie... I...I'm sorry. I hope that you could forgive all of my shortcomings to
you..."
Allen was seriously ill so his voice was quite low. However, Carla could still hear his words because she
was so close to him.
When Carla looked at her hand that was held tightly by her biological father, her heart became tangled
with various complex emotions. She was inexplicably nervous and worried. She actually didn't feel any
happiness or excitement at all.
Maybe it was because they were currently inside in a ward.
Allen was a dying man. Carla and her biological parents had been separated for more than twenty
years and they finally found each other just now. However, fate didn't allow Carla to enjoy the
happiness of being with her parents because she was facing her father's death then.
Andrea finally broke the silence that was surrounding all of them. "Carla, there is something that your
father wanted to talk to you about."
Andrea glanced at her dying husband and sighed, "It's hard for your father to speak now so allow me to
tell you what he wanted to say. I have discussed this with him already.
In terms of the current situation of the Hua Family, we hope that you..." Andrea knew that this request
was a little unreasonable to Carla so it was difficult for her to say it out loud.
Andrea paused for a while before she finally said, "We hope that you would marry Noah..."
Shocked by Andrea's words, Carla opened her eyes wide in surprise. She looked up at Andrea and
shook her head violently.
When she saw Carla's reaction, Andrea held her hands tightly and said, "Callie, listen to my
explanation. After that, you can reconsider. Your father and I both know that Terence is your fiance. We
would definitely support you in marrying him in the past.
However, everything is different now!" Andrea cried.
She tried explaining the current situation of the Hua Family, "Your father suddenly got seriously ill. Your
elder brothers were all adopted and they are all after the family's inheritance.
If we can't even settle our own family's internal conflicts, how can we even do business in public?"
Andrea lowered her head as her tears continuously flowed down from her eyes. She continued, "I know
it's cruel for us to deprive you of your happiness. However, we have no other choice at the moment!"
Andrea stepped closer to Carla and stated their plan, "You're our biological daughter. If you marry
Noah, we'll let Noah take over the Hua Group. If so, your other brothers would naturally have no reason
to object that. This is the best way to settle our family's internal conflict.
The Hua Group is the embodiment of Allen's life-time of painstaking work. Now that Allen is on his way
to his death, we couldn't just let the Hua Group go bankrupt!" Andrea cried.
When she heard Andrea's words, Carla pulled her hands out from her grip and started shaking her
head. Then she pulled her wheelchair back further from them.
She posed, "Uncle, Auntie, I don't care what happened in the past or whether or not I'm your daughter.
These things don't really matter to me."
Pausing for a while, she added, "I haven't seen you for so many years and I lived a happy life with my
foster parents and my brother. Why are you asking me to marry someone as soon as you showed up?
I don't have to shoulder these responsibilities. You can just continue to forget about my existence. Just
think that your biological daughter is already dead!"
Carla gasped for air after she finished the emotional speech. Then she looked at the distance coldly to
try to calm down herself.
She was still a little confused a few days ago. However, she finally recovered and also remembered a
lot of things.
She hadn't completely regained her memories yet but she was sure of one thing.
She couldn't possibly marry Noah.
"Callie..."
Andrea called her while crying then said, "I know it's unfair to ask this of you, but... but we really have
no other choice at the moment...
We couldn't just let the Hua Group and our family's fortune be divided because of your brothers. Do
you really want to see your parents' life-time work become nothing? Callie!" Andrea cried out.
"Callie! We beg of you! Please marry Noah, okay? You could be engaged to him first then the date of
your marriage can be postponed for later. We could find another way after your engagement," Andrea
stated.
Andrea walked towards Carla then squatted in front of her wheelchair. She looked at her with imploring
eyes.
"Callie, we won't let other people know of your real identity except our own family. Would you please
promise us to get engaged to Noah first?" Andrea begged.
Carla closed her eyes and pushed Andrea's hands away. She took a deep breath and tried to calm
herself down.
"Auntie, I can promise you other things. However, this is related to my happiness for the rest of my life!
I can't possibly promise you that I would marry someone I don't even love!" Carla exclaimed.
How could she possibly promise them that?
If she agreed, how could she explain this to Terence?
Terence and Sean were still waiting for her in JA City.
She and Terence experienced a lot together. His father Edmund's attitude towards her also eased a lot.
She could finally see the beautiful future that she and Terence would have.
Why did her parents suddenly appeared and asked her to marry someone else?
She couldn't accept that!
She would never accept that!
When she closed her eyes to avoid Allen and Andrea, she heard a loud bang.
Carla opened her eyes and saw that Allen was climbing down from his bed. He was struggling to kneel
at her feet.
He cried, "Callie... Callie... I'm really sorry! I don't deserve to be your father! It was all my fault... If it
weren't for me... You wouldn't have left me and your mother..."
Allen was breathing hard. He clasped his fist tightly and spoke as loudly as possible, "As long as you
promise to marry Noah, even if I die, I'll remember your kindness to the Hua Family..."
Carla sat in the wheelchair while looking at Allen who was kneeling on the ground. She was crying from
the shock.
She bit her lip because she didn't know how to answer them.
She was so helpless and full of despair. 'What should I do?' she finally asked herself.
