A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 77

Sunny pouts and says, “What else can happen on me?”

“Son, my son, by the way baby, was it a boy or a girl you saw in your dream?”

Sunny thinks that he is a bit sexist, she can’t help but feel disappointed, “It’s a girl.”

“Really?” Kevin’s expression seems to look even more excited than when he mentioned about the son, “So I’m going to have a little princess, that’s really great!”

He cups Sunny’s face and kisses her a few times while saying.

Sunny is baffled from the kisses, so she can’t help but ask the question in her heart, “Don’t you prefer son?”

Kevin curls his lips, “I prefer daughter, I just mentioned about son randomly, but daughter is the one who’s precious to me.”

“But your expression just now was…” Obviously expecting it to be a son.

“Listen.” Kevin cups Sunny’s face, and says to her word to word with a serious face, “As long as it’s your child, I’ll love it no matter it’s a boy or a girl.”

It sounds barely acceptable, hence Sunny reluctantly accepts his explanation, and then looks at the porridge that has cooled down in front of her, “Oops, it’s all cold.”

Both of them are too talkative.

Kevin doesn’t care much about it and points towards the microwave on the table, “See what that is?”

Only then Sunny realizes that where they are in is probably the highest class single room in the hospital, not only there is a microwave, but also a couch and another bed.

“Is it this luxurious?”

“Uh huh, so, my princess, which one do you want me to heat up first?”

Sunny ponders, it’s better to heat the porridge first.

Hence Kevin puts the porridge into the microwave, and both of them begin to discuss about how they are going to get some hints from Greg.

“Very simple. Tomorrow you act like you’re weak and was ambushed, and leave the rest to me.”

“You’re trying to trick him and win his sympathy?”

“Uh huh, that old man should be a bachelor, and what he values the most should be your parents, so do you think he can bear to see their only daughter gets hurt?”

“What if…”

“Then we will push him to the dead corner.” Kevin smiles confidently, in terms of how to drive a person crazy, no one will be able to compete with him.

Looking at the confident Kevin, Sunny prays for Greg in her heart.

Unexpectedly, before they go to find Greg, that old man comes on his own the next day.

He first hesitates in front of the ward’s door for a long time, then only he knocks the door.

Both of them swap their position when they hear the knock. Then Kevin speaks and Sunny quickly acts like she isn’t awake.

“Who’s it?”

“It’s me, I’m Greg.”

Kevin quickly stands up and opens the door, he acts like he’s surprised when he sees Greg and says, “What brings you here?”

Greg glances at Kevin with a complicated expression, he then walks inside. Looking at the feeble Sunny who is lying on the bed, he sighs deeply.

“Why won’t these people just let go of you…” He mutters to himself, and it just happens to be overheard by Kevin who comes over from the door.

“Mister, what did you just say? What do you mean by won’t let go?”

Seeing that it’s the right timing, Sunny wakes up slowly, “Old master, why’re you here?”

“Good girl, I come to check on you.”

However Kevin doesn’t give up, “Mister, what do you mean by that, I have to make sure that Sunny is safe.”

Greg looks at both at them, knowing that there’s no way to hide it, he sits down on the couch and says, “This has to talk from twenty years ago…”

“It wasn’t long after I joined the PY Gangsters, I was a late comer, many of them were already among the best in it, and I was still running errands that time.”

“It was only by chance that I heard some argument in the gang’s meeting room when I was cleaning, and I went over out of curiosity and eavesdropped outside the door.”

“It was our second-in-command, Andrei Hawkins, arguing with a woman, and I heard them arguing fiercely, but it seemed like they wouldn’t get into a fight, so I didn’t pay much attention and left.”

“But the next day, the gang was talking about a mafia boss’s woman who had mysteriously disappeared.”

“The one they were talking about was the woman who argued with Andrei in the meeting room, and I was distraught with anxiety, I didn’t dare to say a word in order to stay safe.”

“But I was still found out by Andrei, he told me that if I wanted to live, you have to give up on something, and I understood what he meant, so I took the money.”

Then he pauses for a moment, which gives Sunny a chance to interject, “Andrei Hawkins, this name sounds familiar.”

Kevin who is on the side, makes a short and clear explanation, “Bella and Amelia’s father.”

…

Sunny hints Greg to continue his story.

“I thought that life is always more important, but because of this matter, I had been suffering since then, I wanted to find someone to tell but I noticed that no one could understand me at all as the people in the gang were quite impetuous at that time, and no one gossiped about it after a few days.”

“Then in order to completely seal my mouth, Andrei promoted me to his side, so I became his second-in-command, he didn’t dare to let me to take over the first place even though my ability actually surpassed the first-in-command, because he couldn’t afford to bear the risk of being betrayed one day.”

“And so we kept each other in check and took advantage of each other. At that time, the first-in-command was from the Elliot’s family. I wanted to know what did Elliot’s family think about it, so I tested them out one day when I went to hand over a document, and the result was disappointed as expected.”

“Not only did the Elliot’s family know what Andrei did, they also chose to turn a blind eye and they told me to keep my words to myself.”

“I was warned, so obviously I could only be a good puppet for Andrei, until one day I found out that the dead woman had a child and it was Andrei’s daughter.”

At this point, it seems that the answer is obvious, but Greg seems like not feeling well, he keeps clenching on the shirt on his chest, looking pained.

“What’s going on?” Sunny is so shocked that she sits up, looking startled at what has just happened in front of her.

Kevin, on the other hand, stands up straight away and goes to call the doctor.

Sunny gets out of the bed and walks with her barefoot to Greg’s side, “Old master, are you alright?”

Greg points to his heart, nodding and shaking his head.

Only then Sunny realizes that he may be having a heart attack, so she quickly places him on the couch and tries to save him with the first aid method.

But it doesn’t work out, by the time the doctor arrives, Greg has stopped responding.

Sunny can’t believe what has just happened and she really has no idea why things turn out in this way.

“The patient is not having a heart attack, the patient died from poisoning.”

The doctor’s test results has surprised everyone.

“What kind of poison is it? And why is he dead but we’re fine?”

Sunny apparently thinks that the doctor is trying to fool her.

The doctor was the one who had told Sunny not to get too emotional earlier on, and looking at Sunny right now who is about to faint at any moment, he quickly passes a signal to Kevin.

Then only Kevin carries Sunny up and puts her on the bed, “Calm down baby, let’s listen to the doctor patiently.”

“He died from a very rare poison that is so strong that the patient will die soon when the poison invades his body.”

The doctor shakes his head, “Poor one, this is the second case this month.”

Kevin says, “But he obviously looked like he had a heart problem, how can it be poisoning?”

The doctor shakes his head, “That’s what we thought before, but look at here.” The doctor points at Greg’s fingers.

“If it was a heart problem, his nails would turn purple, not a healthy pink colour like they are now.”

Kevin leans in and notices that Greg seems to be clutching something in his hand, he quickly opens his fingers carefully, and it turns out to be a piece of paper.

“Beware of Bella.” These words are written on the paper.

Seeing this line, Kevin is horrified, he doesn’t even bother about the doctor’s explanation about the difference between intentional killing and accidental killing, he directly shows Sunny the paper.

“Beware of Bella? What does it mean? Does he trying to say that the dead woman’s daughter is actually Bella?”

Kevin shakes his head, “As far as I know, Bella was born by her current mother.”

Although he says so, he can’t help but recall the day when Bella came to find him, and told him that her mom treated her as an eyesore.”

So he isn’t really that certain of his words, “No matter what, I will definitely go to see Bella when I go back.”

Sunny’s eyes are determined, if all these things were really done by Bella, then what a scary person she must be…

Kevin can’t help but pat her forehead, “Don’t worry, good girl, leave it to me.”

Sunny shakes her head, “No way, you know I can’t.”

Kevin can only compromise, “If you’re going to see her, I must be with you.”

Sunny nods and promises him.

And now, Kevin feels a little perturbed in his heart, and he always have a feeling that this matter is getting more and more complicated.

The police come to the hospital as Greg died in front of Kevin and Sunny.

After asking them some standard questions, they are going to hastily close the case as an accident.

Sunny who has been silent beside can’t believe it and says, “You just closed the case like this? Isn’t it to hasty?”

The police who is right in front of her clearly doesn’t like to be commented on how they handle their case, and says impatiently, “What else you want? Or else you investigate yourself?”
