A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 208

Sunny controls her feelings and reads the agreement, gives it a hasty glance, and puts it down. She is afraid that she would really be tempted to tear it up.

There are also a thick pile of banknotes and a ticket inside, whose destination is an unfamiliar city— R City. Sunny sneers secretly while holding this thick pile of banknote. Butler really prepares for all and waits for her to fall into the trap, and it is a trap that she has to fall into.

Sunny silently puts away the banknotes in the drawer. Enduring the sadness in her heart, she goes downstairs to prepare meals for Kevin. Since she has to leave him anyway, she will leave him the greatest impression during the last days.

Sunny walks into the kitchen and prepares the medicine and soup for Kevin. She is counting the time and when he finishes the soup, the medicine will be ready to serve. Sunny comes out and asks Kevin to get up to take the medicine.

"Honey, it's time for you to take the medicine." Sunny walks to Kevin's side and whispers to him.

"Honey, get up, it's time to take the medicine." Sunny calls him again since Kevin didn't respond.

Kevin doesn’t move at all, and Sunny feels something is wrong. She pats Kevin on the head with her hand, but he still doesn’t respond.

"Hey! Kevin, don't scare me, what's wrong with you, wake up!" Sunny calls Kevin loudly, hoping that he will wake up.

"Hurry, call Troy and ask him to come over! Hurry up!" Sunny says loudly to the servant. Then she continues calling Kevin, wishing he could wake up immediately in the next second.

"Kevin, I don't allow you to die, do you hear me! Wake up, do you hear me? Get up!" Sunny has an emotional breakdown. She cries and shouts at Kevin, hoping that he could be woken by her voice.

The servants are also frightened seeing the couple like this, and quickly call Troy. After a brief explanation, Troy understands the situation immediately.

In no more than ten minutes, Troy and the expert panel rush over. After taking some first aid measures, the expert panel recommend that Kevin be transferred to the hospital.

Although it is not better than the expert panel, it has everything they need in the hospital. Most importantly, there are medical staff watching him all the time in the hospital, so that things like what happened today will never happen again. Even if it does happen, they can provide immediate aid. Not like today, they almost miss the best rescue time, but fortunately it is only a temporary shock. However, nobody knows what will happen next time.

Sunny lowers her head reproachfully and blames herself. She thinks she doesn’t fulfill her responsibility as a wife, and she isn’t the first one to notice that her husband has a temporary shock. If she finds it out a little later, Kevin will... Sunny just can't imagine.

Sunny agrees to the proposal of the expert panel almost immediately. She really can’t stand any more problems happen to Kevin’s health, and she doesn't want this to happen again.

Besides, she is leaving soon. Sunny is really worried that only the servants are taking care of him after she leaves, so it’s better to send Kevin to the hospital, where there are specialized medical staff, which she will be more at ease.

There is no time for hesitation. The expert panel send Kevin to the best hospital in the city almost as soon as they get the consent of Sunny.

Sunny is really scared when she sees Kevin being put on the stretcher motionlessly. She is so afraid that he will leave her without a sound.

Troy certainly sees the guilt in Sunny's eyes. He pats her shoulder and comforts her, "Don't worry, it will be fine, everything will be fine."

"Yeah." Sunny glances at Troy gratefully, yeah, everything will be fine, and everything will be fine only after she leaves.

"For some time in the future, Kevin will be staying in the hospital. You have to travel between the hospital and home. It's hard work for you. Don't get too tired." Troy follows the expert panel and gets in the car.

Sunny wanted to go with them at first, but since there’s no other room in the car, Sunny has to drive alone to the hospital.

Sunny’s hands are sweating while holding the steering wheel, praying silently in her heart, hoping that Kevin will be fine.

When she arrives at the hospital, her mind is almost blank. She inquires at the reception, only to know that Kevin is now in the operating room. She feels uneasy again.

After a while, Sunny never feels that time flies so slowly and doesn’t know how long he has been in the operating room. The red sign on the door slowly darkens.

The door of the operating room is opened. Troy comes out first.

Sunny feels that she finally sees hope, and runs towards Troy hurriedly.

"How’s it? Is Kevin okay? Is he all right?" Sunny grabs Troy's arm with both hands and asks emotionally.

"Well, he’s fine for the time being." Troy frowns and says to Sunny constrainedly.

"For the time being? What do you mean by that? What does it mean that he’s fine for the time being, make it clear!" Sunny shouts at Troy losing control.

After all, Troy is a doctor here, and he is well-known and respected in this hospital. The young doctor next to him doesn’t know what is going on, and only regards Sunny as a family member of the patient, and thinks that she is just a troublemaker. As soon as he tries to say something positive about Kevin, Troy waves his hand and means that he doesn’t have to do it, so the doctor gives up.

"Sunny, calm down, listen to me, the toxin has spread all over Kevin’s body. If he can't get the antidote, no one can say what will happen to him even for the next second. Do you understand? No one can say that. We are doing our best to develop the antidote. Trust us, we will definitely make the antidote for Kevin, alright?" Troy replies with a louder voice, hoping she could be sober and not make any trouble at this time.

Sunny nods while looking at Troy, turns around to leave in despair, and even ignores Troy calling her from behind. There is only one sentence Troy said to her in her head: No one can say what will happen to Kevin even for the next second... That is to say, no one can be sure whether Kevin will still be alive in this world in the next second.

Sunny forgets how she leaves the hospital, and doesn’t know how she gets back home either. When she realizes it, she is already in the room.

Yes, she must leave right now, the sooner the better, this is also a guarantee for Kevin's life. As soon as she leaves, Butler will give Kevin the antidote, so that the toxin in Kevin's body can be detoxed and he will live.

Sunny quickly packs up. She barely takes anything with her, only her ID card and the thick pile of banknotes, which she must take, since she is still pregnant and has no financial resources. She has no choice, but can only take it with her. She can't let the baby in her belly suffer together with her.

How thoughtful Butler is! Sunny smiles bitterly and shakes her head. Although she is smiling, her smile is extremely pale, which makes people sad even by looking at it.

Sunny slowly takes out the divorce agreement from the drawer. She is about to sign her name on it, and notices the message "she" leaves for Kevin.

Sunny's whole body trembles after reading it. Butler is really a vicious woman. She is going to completely destroy the relationship between her and Kevin!

It reads, "Kevin, I have been thinking a lot these days. I am leaving you. I have to make plans for myself. Seeing your health getting worse day by day, I really can’t bear to leave you, but I have to think for myself and the child in my belly. I don’t want my child to be born without a father. Don’t worry, I won’t take any property of the Quinn family. If you really do make it through this time, I hope you will treat yourself well, and forget me, as if I have never been in your world. Forget me."

Only then does Sunny understand Butler's intention. She is not aiming at simply dismantling them, but to let Kevin forget her from the bottom of his heart.

After Sunny reads the message “she” left for Kevin, she is hesitating, she is hesitant to sign, if Kevin sees it, he will hate her for a lifetime. He will hate her because she decides to leave him when he needs her most.

But does it matter? Let him hate her forever, at least he will not forget her. Compared with Kevin's health, does it even matter?

Finally, Sunny still tremblingly signs her name. The moment she signs it, Sunny knows that they are completely over.

If there is a chance to see him again, in what kind of attitude will Kevin treat her? Sunny almost can picture the scene.

Maybe he will avoid her as if he has seen a rat. Maybe he has another woman with him, mocking her and showing off how well he lives, or maybe he won’t care at all, seeing her will be like seeing nothing, just like the air.
