A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 93

Sunny nods her head, “Thank you so much.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Sunny prepares breakfast for them and then goes to the supermarket to purchase some basic necessities. She then looks at the time and decides to go home and prepare to go to work in the afternoon.

However regarding Kevin and Jonathan, they are currently on the way back when suddenly they receive a phone call from an unknown number.

“Hello, who is it?”

“Use a different phone and then call me back.”

Baron speaks clearly and concisely to him, and although Kevin is confused, he still does as he is told and uses Jonathan’s phone to call him back.

“Long story short, if I’m not mistaken then it seems that Bella is keeping surveillance on you. Because of the disruption you caused yesterday and today, therefore she already knows we are back.”

“You need to think for yourself on what should be done. This is a matter between you both, so do not get us involved, thank you.”

While saying this and not waiting for a response he just hangs up the phone.

Jonathan notices the serious expression on Kevin’s face and asks curiously, “What happened?”

Kevin first examines his whole body from head to toe, feels there is nothing unusual about him and then says to Jonathan, “I’m being watched.”

Jonathan is so scared that he almost presses down on the car pedal hard, “You’re being watched? By whom?”

Kevin looks at Jonathan, “He said by Bella.”

“How is this possible, isn’t she already dead?”

Kevin shakes his head, “I don’t know either, however I always felt that what he says can be trusted.”

“Who is he?”

“Baron.”

Jonathan shakes his head, “This situation really is getting more and more complicated.”

Kevin is silent and doesn’t say anything, however inside he feels the same.

“Would you say that child is mine?”

Macie’s figure suddenly appears in front of Kevin, "Although she doesn't look like me, I always felt that she and I seemed very close..."

Jonathan is silent for a while until he finally says, “If you are not sure then why not go to take a paternity test to find out.”

Kevin hesitates, “I dare not, I can’t take this risk…”

Jonathan is seemingly able to understand Kevin, “If you want my opinion, then if you really want to know, just take the paternity test. And in any case there are only two answers, yes or no.”

“But what if she isn’t…”

“If she isn’t then so what, recently you’ve already been treating her as if she was your niece anyways.”

After hearing this, Kevin feels what he said is very reasonable so he nods his head and says, “Then I will go see her!”

“We’ve almost arrived, if you want to go then just go.”

Kevin replies, “Jonathan, you really are my life advisor.”

“I don’t dare to be, I’m just a little more experienced than you that’s all.”

“...You are breathing a little heavily."

Because of what Jonathan has said Kevin seems to feel a little better now, “Then I will go to Troy’s house. I must see if she is there or not.”

“Should I take you there?”

“No need, my car is at your home. I’ll go get my own car.”

After Kevin hurriedly rushes over to Troy’s house, he is told that Macie is not there.

“Where did she go?”

Troy has a complicated look on his face, “I’m afraid that I cannot tell you this, don’t you know that you are still being watched?”

Kevin after hearing this seems to have been struck back down to reality. Yes, he is still being watched. Taking her to do a paternity test at this moment of time is not the best idea.

“Yes, I forgot…”

Kevin’s expression is as if he is spiritless, struck down by what he’s just been reminded, Troy can’t bear it, “She went to kindergarten today.”

Hearing this, Kevin’s eyes seem to glow up, “Are you serious?”

“Believe it or not, now stop disrupting my meal!”

Hearing this, Kevin realizes that he had not had time to eat anything from early in the morning all the way until now.

So he looks at Troy with a smile, “Who made this breakfast?”

“Who else would have made it, my apprentice did.”

Kevin’s eyes widen, “Which apprentice of yours?”

“Of course it would be Sunny… why are you asking me so many questions?”

“I’m hungry…”

…

“Come in…” Troy has no choice but to let him come inside, “I really don’t understand you…”

Before he was so infatuated with Bella, and now he is getting so entangled with Sunny again.

“Kevin, we have been friends for many years now, I have a few words I want to say to you.”

Kevin stops moving, he rarely ever encounters Troy being so serious.

“Truthfully speaking, from the beginning up until now I have never been too fond of Bella. However I feel you are interested in her, regardless if you did before or now.”

“Where did you hear these rumours from?”

“Don’t interrupt me. I don’t know what Sunny means to you but every time you push her away, she leaves feeling dejected but then you will give a little bit of hope again. You doing this really is…”

Really not good.

Kevin is speechless after hearing this.

He asks himself quietly, am I really like this to Sunny? Is that how I treat her in the eyes of others?

He is unable to find a correct answer.

“Everyone knows you well; however you are always unable to see yourself clearly. Before when Bella wasn’t around, you would use Sunny as a substitute, but then as soon as Bella came back you just kicked Sunny away.

Kevin wants to say something but is unable to. His mouth is seemingly stuck together by glue.

“You may think everything I say is all nonsense, however you don’t know the situation Sunny was in during all these years. Before she was lying on a hospital bed like a corpse, and although now you see her living healthily and actively, however before this… everything bad that happened to her was because of your beloved Bella.

Kevin straightens himself up, “You said it yourself that we’ve been friends for many years now. So now I think you should tell me everything that has happened over the last few years.”

Troy knows that this matter is something that couldn’t be hidden for long so sighs and says, “Come on in and sit down.”

Kevin follows him inside and after he sits down Troy pours him a glass of water. “The next few things that I’m going to tell you are a little frightening; however it’s simply the truth.”

Kevin calms his mind down and says, “Tell me.”

“That time Sunny was sitting in my car and I helped her escape.”

Kevin knew this much.

“We knew that you would come to the house and see whether she was there, so in the middle of the journey we changed our plans and went directly to the airport to go travel.”

“You really thought everything through.”

“However what we didn’t know was that our every move was being watched. When we just boarded the plane, someone said they were looking for us."

After he finishes saying this he pauses with a strange smile on his face, “You can guess who it was?”

Kevin doesn’t need him to say who it is since he can easily guess who, “Bella.”

“Exactly, on the airplane she put on a little performance, you can say it was quite spectacular. She told us that she was the one you most cared about and that Sunny is nothing more than a replacement for her and many other things like this.”

Kevin doesn’t say anything, he just listens quietly.

“Before that, one day I had heard you both downstairs say that she was dead, so on the plane when I saw her I was shocked.”

“I quietly told Sunny and she was also shocked, however after we had calmed down, the plane suddenly exploded.”

Hearing this, Kevin’s heart starts to race.

“Bella had long since prepared for this. After she finished speaking she then provoked Sunny and said to her, let’s see if Kevin will come save you or not.”

“She lied saying that you already knew everything that was going to happen and the consequences. She said as long as you call, then we will be saved.”

“However before the explosion we were waiting for your phone call for a long time, but in the end there was no phone call. Therefore when the plane exploded we all had lost hope.”

Kevin’s heart crumbles and tightens into a ball, and he starts to feel a little dizzy.

"When the plane exploded, we were lucky enough to only be blown up a little bit and then we fell into the sea. Because it was an unknown place, it took us a long time to come back."

"There, Sunny was in a coma for several months. I could not help but keep an eye on the baby inside her stomach, so I had to give her an infusion every day. The local people didn't accept our currency, so we could only work to pay for the services.”

Kevin’s throat tightens, “Don’t say anymore…”

Baron suddenly raises his head and smiles, “You can’t bear to listen anymore?”

Kevin does not say anything; he just remains still unable to move.

Troy cannot bear to see him this way and says, “Let’s eat some food.”

Kevin looks at the food on the table however he has no mood to even pick up his chopsticks. Once he controls himself he says to Troy, “Carry on.”

“When Sunny woke up she realised that she had burns on her body. However since the child was ready to be born soon, she temporarily repressed her emotions, calmed herself and wholeheartedly prepared for the birth of her child.”

“However she never expected that what happened next would ultimately destroy her.”

Troy looks at Kevin, since Sunny hasn’t told him that Macie is his child, therefore he also will not tell him.

“Because Sunny was in a coma for so long, the child was born undeveloped, and therefore after a few days the child… died.”

Kevin clenches his hands tightly, his clothes all ruffled.

“After the child passed away, Sunny was mentally destroyed. Inside she also felt that you had given up on her and this was the final straw to make her feel she had lost all hope in anything which ultimately led her to one evening attempt suicide.”

Kevin’s heart fell apart; he is unable to keep listening.

"But then that night just by chance I was looking for her for something. No one answered when I knocked on the door so when I walked inside she was already in a pool of blood.”

“And then…”

"Well she was rescued, but because of the poor health care service there, the scar she has will be permanent."

“I guessed this much, thank you…” Kevin really cannot bear to listen anymore and wants to stand up but is shaking.
