Xio Lee stopped the car abruptly, when he spotted the female imperial lion, standing amidst the road. The busy road was now completely empty.
Xio Lee and Elizabeth stepped out immediately. While Elizabeth ran and hugged the lion, Xio Lee bowed down in reverence.
Lillian sat still in the car, looking petrified, as her best friend hugged a gigantic lion.
"Please take me to my son." Elizabeth sat on the back of the Lion, while Xio Lee sat on the driver seat, ready to follow them.
"Why did you not come out and meet the great imperial lion?" Xio switched on the ignition and looked at pale faced Lillian.
"Umm....I am fine." Lillian gulped, looking again at her friend, riding on top of the beast. She was literally hugging the beast"s neck!!!!
The lion stopped outside the entry of the city"s best private hospital, where other animals were already waiting.
Xio Lee came out of the car, while Lillian preferred staying inside.
"Trust me, they will like you." Elizabeth shouted from afar.
Lillian finally came out and stood awkwardly at the hospital door, while Xio Lee and Elizabeth were meeting the animals in joy.
"Thank you! You can return back!" Elizabeth kissed the male imperial lion and rushed to meet Rhehan. Xio Lee too thanked them all and soon the animals strided back, towards the woods.
The three opened the hospital room"s door and spotted an extra skiny boy, lying on the bed. His mouth was covered in white bandages, while he lay on the bed unconcious.
"Oh my baby!" Elizabeth was in tears and she rushed towards the bed. Xio Lee and Lillian too could not help but cry at his condition.
"He is ok. Don"t worry."
The three of them turned towards the door from where the voice came. Xio Lee and Elizabeth"s eyes popped out in surprise.
"Old teacher?" Xio Lee bowed down, followed by Elizabeth and Lillian.
"Yes. I could not help myself. The boy almost cut his tongue." Old master patted Rhehan"s head lovingly. He was carrying a small white colored dog in his arms.
"Thank you! Thank you so much old teacher." Elizabeth was looking at old teacher, teary eyed.
Just then a message in her phone popped up. She s.h.i.+vered looking at the message from the unknown number again.....
"Heyy!! Why did you go to Bangkok suddenly? Something is fishy!"
"It"s Davis! He knows I am in Bangkok. What if he tries to find out about Rhehan?" Elizabeth shreiked in fright.
Xio Lee and Lillian too were taken aback! That man is totally after Elizabeth"s life!!!
"Dont worry. He does not know as yet about Rhehan. Rhehan is my responsibility now. He will stay with me from today, till the time he can take care of himself. You three should leave immediately from here."
"But old teacher? He will then live in the jungle?"
"No I will live in the city, for few years and be his guardian."
The three of them were stunned and stood speechless at the old teacher"s words.
"Their is a shut down coffee shop by the name cafe island, it is my property. Go and clean it and give it a new look. He will manage it. Also, these are my house keys. Clean that too." The old monk, handed over the keys to Xio Lee.
"We will help." Lillian spoke excitedly.
"Can I s.h.i.+ft to Bangkok too? I can just help him from afar." Elizabeth was too overwhelmed looking at her lifeless son, struggling so hard.
She knew she had to keep her son safe. by staying away, but atleast she can help him indirectly.
"Me too," Lillian and Xio Lee spoke in unison.
"Ok. But only under one condition. Don"t let anybody know about your relation to him. n.o.body!!!! His life will be in danger again!" The old monk instructed three of them carefully.
Then they all bowed and left the hospital with teary eyes.
"h.e.l.lo little boy. I found you on the street. What"s your name?"
The boy looked weakly at the old man in front of him, who was carrying snowy, in his arms.
"R...R...R...h....h...n."
"I am Mathew Jobs. Would you like to work in my cafe? I will give you good food and you can learn a lot from me. I also have no family."
"Y....Y...es."
From that day, old teacher took care of Rhehan, made him study and work hard in cafe. Rhehan lived in the old teacher"s house too, with snowy and grew up to be a hard working man with a benevolent heart.
Untill one day, Old teacher had to leave for woods. His work and duty towards Rhehan was over, so he pretended his death and left Rhehan for good. He left behind his house and cafe for him to manage.
The three of them, would often help Rhehan secretly in many things.
Be it helping in opening a second cafe or winning a deal with the famous entertainment company. His every legal case had become a cake walk!
But never did Rhehan realise that his three guardian angels, were watching over him all the time.
Rhehan grew up to be the one of the richest men in Asia. His sharp mind and friendly nature, had won hearts of people all across the globe!
He opened various charitable cancer hospitals, orphanges, old age homes. He sponsered the education of millions of little beggers, giving them food and shelter too. He stood against poaching and killing of wild animals.
But, he was aloof and lacked the love and feeling of habing a family. After his old man died, he was devastated. Soon, the stress of his work turned him into a nymphomaniac.
The three of them knew about Rhehan"s physical condition and seeked help from old monk.
"It will happen automatically! You don"t have to do anything. He still needs to learn about the power of true love."
Current day!
Elizabeth closed her eyes and she seated herself on the seat of the private plane, heading back to Singapore after meeting Steve.
"I am sorry old teacher. After so many years, I broke my promise. I told Steve about Rhehan"s relation with me."
