Chapter 249: Family - Part 1

249 Family - Part 1

Friday, continued …

Forty-five minutes after leaving the courthouse the limousine carrying Hou Yi, Anna and Rosemary arrived at the apartment complex.Anna was helped out and into the wheelchair, and they were whisked up to the apartment.The items in the boot were arranged to be sent up to the apartment.

As the elevator opened, Butler Ge had the staff gathered to greet Anna as she arrived home."Young Madam, is it good to see you home.Please let us know whatever we can do to make your recovery as easy as possible.We have arranged for a late afternoon tea to be brought in to the lounge area for you, Young Master and Sister Rosemary."

Butler Ge then turned to Hou Yi "Young Master, I received the call from the ancestral home and Elder Hou and Elder Madam Hou, First Master, First Madam, and Second Madam have all invited themselves to tea tonight.The chef is arranging for a traditional meal to be served, and we have rearranged the dining room to make it easier for Madam Hou to enter and sit at the table."

"Thank you Butler Ge, staff.Now, from tomorrow for the next couple of week we will be staying at the ancestral home as other members of my wife's family will be visiting for a couple of weeks.Please be aware that my parents, Aunt or grandparents may come here to stay for a night or two."

"You have two choices for the next two weeks.Those who would like some leave can take some extra leave without using their annual entitlements at half pay.Otherwise you will move to assist the staff at the ancestral house including helping to care for some of my wife's nieces and nephews who are visiting for two weeks."

One of the new maids piped up "Sorry to speak out of turn Young Master.If you would be OK with me having my 8 year old son, who is on leave from school with me next week, I would be happy to assist with the children for the two weeks."

"Are you sure, that you do not want to take leave?"

"No sir, it would be fine, particularly since I have only started here."

"Now do you and your son have passports?"

"No Sir."

"Butler Ge, can you make contact with Assistant Wang to assist in obtaining these documents.The plan is for a trip to Hong Kong, and they will need passports.You and your son can accompany them.Everyone else, please let Butler Ge know your decision."

Hou Yi carefully maneuvered Anna's wheelchair into the lounge room, and helped her onto a couch sitting next to her, taking her hand in his, and leaning over to kiss her, which she met.Rosemary took a seat on a chair across from them, but realised that she was like a third wheel, unnecessary here.

It was only a few minutes later when they seemed to still be lost in each other that Rosemary coughed loud enough to cause Hou Yi and Anna to separate.Anna, had the grace to blush, but was wishing quietly that Rosemary had not interrupted them, as she really needed in her own mind try and confirm her real feelings.She thought it was love, but she was not really one hundred percent sure, so she did not want to say anything until she knew.

Anna, knew she had to bite pack "Well sis, you now know what it was like for me when I walked in on you and my brother.Embarrassing.Here is payback."

"Well sis, you are injured.You are just lucky I have not decided to ban you husband from sleeping next to you, and by the way I mean sleep, nothing else."

"Rosemary, you meanie," said Anna pouting and looking sad.

"Do not think you can change my mind, and Yi, you better heed my words.Anna needs to recover, which she will now do out of hospital.Then you can …"

"Do what we like in the bedroom," responded Hou Yi laughing

"Thank you, that was put it tactfully.Now what do you want to drink?"

They got distracted and had their late afternoon tea, and once they were finished Rosemary piped up "Come on now Anna, you are going to spend your remaining fifteen minutes on the crutches for the day, as well as some of those exercises you need to do."Rosemary and Hou Yi helped Anna up, and while Rosemary was doing her work with her, Hou Yi slipped out to locate staff to arrange for them to pack clothes to be taken to the ancestral home.

The rest of the day slipped past quickly and before anyone knew, they were having dinner with the family, which went of very successfully when everyone realised how many children would be filling the ancestral home for the next two weeks.

After Hou Yi's family left, with help from Butler Ge and a couple of other staff members, Hou Yi carried Anna up to their suite.Rosemary entered after them, and then proceeded to get Anna ready and settled in bed.Hou Yi after everyone left, climbed into bed next to Anna, moving over to hold her in his arms until they both drifted off to sleep.
