A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 123

"I don't know."

Kevin signs as he knows that he can only get the answer like this, "I know. Just forget it. I’m going to investigate it."

As Kevin is about to leave, Jonathan remembers that there is one more thing to do. "They don't care what happens to you and that’s okay," he says,"If I don't care about your body, your brother will kill me."

Kevin takes a seat, "Jonathan, I haven't asked you seriously what my brother used to be like. And I accidentally saw a different version of him today."

Ellison is always gentle or cold in front of Kevin who has never gotten chance to see Ellison acting like that.

When Jonathan hears that, he pauses in his hand, "Is he exposed now?"

Kevin nods, it should be exposed.

Jonathan sighs, "Your brother..."

Then he sits down as he speaks, seeming to have a long conversation.

"Your brother had a hard time, as you might have known about his early days, and It was not till then that I came to him. He was a little better then."

Kevin's heart suddenly begins to beat very fast, "Yes, I understand."

Jonathan gives him a meaningful look, "No, you don't understand. You don't understand at all. At that time someone quietly told me that he didn't treat everyone like this."

Kevin raises his eyebrows and says, "As far as I know, he didn't have a girlfriend at that time, right?"

Jonathan nods. "No, but..."

He stops, as if he realizes that he slips his tongue. He takes a quick sip of his cigarette, slowly exhaling it and continuing to say, "He can suppress his anger well around that person. It is simply because that the person doesn't like his rascally manner."

Kevin nods as he were listening to the story of someone else. "That person must be special to my brother, right?"

Jonathan gives him a strange look in his eyes,"Maybe."

Kevin says to himself, "I don't know there is anyone who can be special to my brother."

So he asks excitedly, "Jonathan, do you know who that one is?"

Jonathan shakes his head, "Don't talk about it any more. It is not so polite to gossip the departed."

"This person reminds me of my mother. She often says that she doesn't like the way my eldest brother acts. I didn't expect anyone else to have the same views as my mother."

Jonathan opens his mouth, as if he wants to say something, but at last he simply sighs and takes a smoke.

If someone can keep naive, just let him be naive all his life.

Kevin is still talking to himself. Noticing the change of the expressions on Jonathan's face, he finally stops that topic and says, "Please help me check my body, I have to go back."

Jonathan gives him a look of disgust, "Why do you need to have a good body if you can't even protect your wife?"

Kevin freezes like choking in his throat.

"By the way, my daughter's birthday is on the day after tomorrow. Would you like to come for dinner?"

Jonathan gets shocked, "When did you have a daughter?"

...

"Haven’t I told you?"

...

"My fault. Will you come?"

"Why not? I want to see the little girl."

"I warn you, do not lay hands on my daughter. Or I'll hit you so hard that even my brother won't recognize you."

Tory standing on the side can not hold back his laughing out.

Jonathan looks at Tory and says, "That's my type."

Tory is so scared that he gives a belch, "Well, my heart belongs to someone else."

Jonathan laughs and says, "I’m just kidding."

Tory breaths a sigh of relief. He can’t get used to the jokes like this one.

"Ha ha, are you frightened?"

Kevin laughs and looks at him from the side, "You are really timid."

Tory rolls his eyes, turning around and leaning on the body of Kevin, "oh, My Kevin."

...

Kevin is so frightened that he pushes Tory to the ground, "Stay away from me!"

Tory laughs on the ground and shakes uncontrollably, "You have no right to criticize me."

Kevin dusts himself down, "Fuck off, what a..."

Tory smiles as he feels enough, then he gets up from the floor and says seriously, "Jonathan, you can send me the prescription after the examination. I will go to study it then."

Jonathan nods his head.

"Put your hand out."

He says to Kevin, "I'll feel your pulse first. Tomorrow I'll ask someone to take a blood test for you. Then I'll give you a detailed analysis."

Kevin nods, obediently stretches out his arm, "Go ahead."

Jonathan begins to touch the pulse, "your body is a little bit weak."

Kevin feels Jonathan’s eyes are a little bit wretched, so he replies, "I’m not weak."

"Oh, I mean nothing. If don't detoxify you, your body will really become very weak."

Kevin doesn’t know whether Jonathan is scaring himself. Anyway, he is freaking out. "Don't frighten me."

"Who frighten you? I'm telling the truth." then Jonathan tightens his brow as he feels Kevin’s pulse, "Why do you seem to be pregnant?" he asks.

Kevin jumps out, "What are you talking about?"

Jonathan bursts into laughing.

...

"You hurriedly go to prepare, I’m going to take meal to my wife."

Jonathan knocks Kevin's head and says,"Copy that."

“Hey, you old boy!”

Kevin almost jumps up in anger again.

Kelly waits until Kevin gets in the hospital, the sky is some gray, his stomach is some hungry.

So when she sees their coming, she can’t help but grumble, "Why are you so late?"

Kevin explains with a smile, "I heard Jonathan is a good cook. I went to his place to get some dishes. He cooked mutton which costed such a long time."

As he speaks, he unscrews the lunch box in his hand. The fragrance overflows the whole room at once.

"Wow, it smells so good..."

Sunny almost gets up for the smell of food. She would have jumped out of bed excitedly if she has no wound on her back.

Kevin let Kelly adjust her bed, and then pours a bowl of mutton soup for each of them, "Slow down. What would you like to try first, drinking soup or having the meal?"

Sunny is so excited by the smell and keeps shouting, "I want both!"

Kevin replies with a big smile, "They are all yours. Don't worry."

Sunny is satisfied. "Oh, Jonathan's cooking skill is so well."

Regardless of whether it is hot or not, she put a spoonful of soup to his mouth, "It’s really delicious. Kelly, taste it.”

When they finish their dinner, Kelly stands up and says that she is about to leave.

"Oh, my darling, are you leaving now?" Sunny asks.

Kevin stares at Sunny, who just calls someone "darling".

Kelly tries to make a smile and says, "My dear, I want to live longer. Don't give me any trouble."

Sunny waves her hand and says, "You're not funny. Take your walk."

After Kelly closes the door, they finally have time to sit down and talk.

"Call her darling? Huh?"

...

Why he acted as if he was finding out an affair?

With a careful look at Kevin, feeling that there is not much anger in his face, Sunny says, "I'm used to playing jokes with Kelly, please don't mind."

Kevin curls his lips and says, "I wouldn't mind that sort of thing. But she's your darling, and so who am I?"

Sunny glances at Kevin coolly. It doesn't look like you don't mind.

"You are my sweetheart, my baby!" She laughs.

Kevin immediately leans close to the Sunny. They are so close that they can even hear each other breathing. She doesn’t not know why, although it is not the first time to be so close with him, she would still be so nervous that her heart is racing.

"What, what are you going to do? I'm not afraid of you at all!"

"What, isn't it okay for a baby and sweetheart to get close to you?"

...

Sunny closes her eyes and puckers up her mouth,"Then hurry up. Start early and finish early."

She waits for a long time, but nothing happens. She hesitantly opens one of her eyes, only to see Kevin laughing over her.

...

"You bastard!"

Sunny blushes, thinking of what she has done must have seems too eager to Kevin, and wants to find a seam in the ground to bury herself.

"Sweetheart, my little baby, why are you so cruel to me!

Kevin, as in a play, covers his chest, "I've been hurt!"

The heart of Sunny seems to tremble a little as she looks at his exaggerated manner and thinks of his face in the mind.

"Can we act normally? I'm so scared of you."

Kevin pats her head and says, "My baby, go to bed early and get more rest, you can recover early and leave the hospital early."

Sue looks at him suspiciously, feeling that today Kevin is not very like himself.

...

"If you keep looking at me, I'll kiss you!"

Looking at the big eyes of Sunny staring at himself, Kevin feels a strong desire in his heart.

When Sunny hears Kevin's threatening her, she closes her eyes obediently and says, "Goodnight."

That is a relief to Kevin. He then gets up to go to the bathroom. At the moment something needs to be done with his own right hand.
