Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen Chapter 3
Advertisement
"The rain looks so beautiful" A young man was lying in bed as he gazed outside the window watching Raindrops fall as he listened to the sound of the rain. To him, it sounded like a beautiful medley of nature.
He looked to be in his early twenties and had deep blue eyes from which he calmly gazed at the rain through the window. He had short brown hair that covered his forehead and a sharp chiseled nose. He had a slight smile on his face which although looked charming, somehow looked melancholic.
He had a fine athletic build and a height of around one hundred and eighty centimeters but no one could see it as he was lying in bed inside a white blanket. He kept gazing at the rain outside until a knock was heard on the door.
"Come in" He turned his head towards the door as he said lightly.
A beautiful girl, wearing a white T-shirt, black coat and a tight-fitting black pencil skirt walked inside holding a folder in her hands. She had long black hair and a beautiful face. She looked like she was twenty-five but the man knew that she was in her early thirties.
"You called for me sir?" The girl said with a slight smile on her face as she stood near the bed.
"Yea, how's my sister doing?" He asked with a gentle smile.
"Miss Lan is doing really good Sir. She's doing great in athletics while still achieving the best grades in university. Every teacher in the university praises her and likes her" The girl replied softly.
" That girl, she's always been the pride of me. When father and mother were alive, she was so naughty, but I can see that she's changed after their death. She always tries to give her best in everything now. I guess it had become her adrenaline" The guy said as a beautiful smile appeared on his face. The girl couldn't help but fell into a daze as she saw the man smile.

"I wonder how much my leaving her would impact her" The man muttered to himself.
" Lia... " He said, looking at the girl who came out of her daze.
"Yes, sir!" She immediately replied.
"Do you think I should tell her? " He asked as he looked down.
"It's not my place to step in, but I think you should inform her Sir" Lia replied to him.
" I don't want to keep her in the dark either, but I don't want to see her suffer," He said as sadness could be heard from his voice.
" I can understand sir. Instead of making her suffer for two months as she sees it happen, you want to face all of it yourself. But... " She said but stopped herself as she thought it would be inappropriate to say more.
" I don't want her to go through it. If it's sudden, I'm sure she'll be able to overcome the sadness just like with father and mother. But if... " He said as he looked down.
" Anyways, Are the papers ready?" He asked Lia as he gazed at her with his deep blue eyes and a slight smile which was failing its purpose of hiding all his sadness.
"Y... yes sir. I have prepared everything. Here's the power of attorney and other documents as you asked. You can put all your property and shares of the company on her name"She said to the guy who took the papers and started reading them.
After he finished reading it, he signed and gave the papers back.
"Everything is ready. Now she owns everything and no one can steal it from her because of the clause you added on my orders" He said lightly with a gentle smile.
" Yes, Sir. Even if your sister later decides to, she can't give this property away. This property can't be given to someone who doesn't have the bloodline of you or your sister. Also In case, something unexpected happens to her, all this property will go to various charities and used to make and maintain orphanages throughout the country" Lia said softly.

"It's all for her protection. I don't want her to be used because of our money" He said as he again turned his attention towards the windows.
"You're right sir" Lia replied immediately.
" Lia... She doesn't know anything about me being here right?" he asked again without looking back.
" Exactly sir. She still thinks that you went to America to set up a branch of Xu Corporation and that it will be a long time before you come back" Lia replied to him as she gazed at the window.
" There are only a few trusted ones I have that have stayed with me for so long. I hope you'll stay with my little sister and help her as you all helped me. She'll be new to this world. You will need to guide her properly" He said as he finally turned back and gazed into her eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat as both their eyes met.
"I...I...I will make sure of it sir" She stuttered as she replied.
" I believe you. You can go now" He replied before turning his head back again as he started looking at the rainfall and hearing its sound.
Lia gazed at him for a moment with sadness filling her eyes as she turned back and exited. After exiting the room, she walked through the large corridor as she left the building.
"Miss Su, That girl was so beautiful and looked rich. Who was she here to visit? Who is in this room? " A nurse asked another nurse she was walking with after she saw Lia exit the room.
"Little Nian, You are new here, so you don't know yet. But other than you, everyone else in this hospital knows who stays in this room" The second nurse, Miss Su replied.
" Who? " Nian asked Su with curiosity on her face.
" He's the youngest billionaire in the history of this world. The President of Xu Corporation. His company is in the top ten multinational conglomerates in the world and ranked at 5th worldwide" Su explained as she looked at her.
"He is Mr. Xu Lian. He inherited the company after his father and mother died in an accident five years ago. He was only 17 at that time. Many people expected Xu Corp to fall. But under his leadership, Instead of falling, it rose from the eighth biggest corporation in the world to the fifth-biggest corporation in the world. He had been dubbed as a genius businessman throughout the world. " Su continued further as she gazed at the door of his room no. 001 where Xu Liang stayed.
" Wha... " Nian couldn't help but open her mouth wide as she heard Su.
"Mr. Xu is in that room?? Why is he in the hospital? Also, why isn't there any news about him being hospitalized? He's such a giant existence in this country. This news should have been on every news channel!!" Nian said as she gazed at Su.
" Hush... Everyone here signed a document, that no information about him being here can be disclosed by the hospital or the hospital will be closed and we will all be jailed and fined millions of dollars. Also, I'm sure the Xu Corp will take their own revenge on us" Su hurriedly closed her mouth with her hand as she said.
----------
"Mmm. mmm," Nian kept saying something incomprehensible as Su had her hand on her mouth. Su took her hands off slowly.
"Elder Sister Su, Why is he in the hospital though? What sickness does he have?"Nian asked, looking at Su.
" I don't know... In fact, I don't think many people know. Only the highest level of doctors know about his condition. But I've heard a rumor... " Su said softly.
