A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 213

When Ellison arrives at the hospital, Kelly and Wade have already been there.

“Ellison!”

The moment Kelly sees Ellison, she runs towards him immediately and pulls at his sleeve.

“Kevin is still inside,” Kelly says worriedly.

Seeing his wife looking sad, Ellison nods at her, then stretches out his hand to wrap her shoulders, and holds her into his arms a little bit hard.

“Don’t worry.”

He comforts the little woman in his arms with a soft voice. His face is full of tenderness that he never shows to outsiders.

Kelly gives a nod and her body that has been strained because of worry gradually softens, leans in the arms of her husband, and finally relaxes.

Wade looks at his eldest son, snorts coldly, and then turns his head away to avoid giving him any look.

Ellison sighs with resignation.

Obviously, his father is still angry with him for not telling him that Kevin is poisoned.

Although he is well-meant, he deceives Wade after all. Wade has given Kevin a face without breaking his legs.

“Dad.” Ellison puts an arm around Kelly’s shoulders, leads her to walk forward Wade, and continues to say respectfully, “I have done some special measures on Butler in the afternoon, but...”

Ellison frowns and looks pale.

“She has been emphasizing that she will never give an antidote until she gets what she wants.”

“So what does she want? Give it to her directly!” Wade says hurriedly.

The Quinn family has enormous financial firepower. No matter what she wants, money, a house, a car, or anything else, they can afford it easily.

However, Ellison shakes his head, “She has always refused to say what she wants.”

What is difficult is to know what she wants.

If Butler directly states what she wants, things will be much simpler.

But she just refuses to say it and keeps emphasizing that what she wants has not yet been obtained, making it impossible for people to figure out what she is thinking about now.

Hearing that, Wade’s face takes on a ghastly expression.

“Wicked girl!” Wade curses, “You can ask her again tomorrow. It’s best to know what she wants within tomorrow.”

“There is nothing that we can’t afford. Whatever she wants, as long as we will not break the law, we can give them all to her!”

It is about the life of his youngest son so Wade doesn’t dare to use force and can only follow Butler’s will.

Ellison nods, “I will convey this. Don’t worry, dad.”

Immediately, he continues, “Kelly, is there any news about Sunny?”

In the afternoon, Ellison goes to torture Butler cruelly but fails to know where the antidote is and Kelly goes to investigate the whereabouts of Sunny.

Hearing this, Kelly shakes her head and says truthfully, “No, I even can’t find her departure record.”

She has used all kinds of relationships but she just can’t find any whereabouts of Sunny.

As soon as she says this, Wade suddenly becomes anxious.

“Nothing was found?”

“Nothing was found.”

“Is it sure that you have used all the relationships that can be used?”

“Dad, I have used all the relationships that can be used, but it seems that Sunny has evaporated and there is no clue to her whereabouts!”

After all, a person needs to eat, live, and take public vehicles but she has investigated the surveillance video of all road sections and still can’t find any trace of Sunny.

She vanishes as if there is no such person in the world.

It’s as if knowing Sunny is a dream they all have together.

“How is it possible!” Wade doesn’t believe it at all, “How could a real live human being evaporate suddenly!”

Speaking of this, Kelly seems to have thought of something, “Is Sunny still in this city?”

As soon as this sentence comes out, it immediately meets with collective opposition from Wade and Ellison.

“Impossible.” Ellison interrupts his adoring wife’s bold conjecture.

“If she is still in this city, she will expose her ID once she stays at a hotel, and we can also find her whereabouts.”

“And we have arranged for so many people to scatter all over the city. One afternoon has passed but we still haven’t been able to get any clue to her whereabouts.”

“According to all current conditions and the direction of evidence...”

Kelly’s eyes widen, “Sunny is out of the city!”

Ellison nods, and says in a deep voice, “She might even be abroad.”

It is the last thing Wade wants to hear.

He frowns immediately and objects, “Isn’t Kelly saying that the recent departure records and the other traffic records do not have her whereabouts? Is it possible that she can fly away with a pair of wings!”

In the heart of Wade, Sunny is still very important.

Not to mention that she is pregnant with the child of the Quinn family. Since his youngest son attaches importance to her, he should take her into account.

In fact, a woman’s position in her husband’s family is determined entirely by her husband’s attitude towards her.

If her husband protects her, loves her, cherishes her, and would love to help her in front of many people, then the husband’s family will never embarrass that woman.

But if even the husband doesn’t protect the woman, the husband’s family will naturally not take her too seriously.

And Kevin’s attitude towards Sunny and Macie is simply to hold them in the palm of his hand, fearing that something wrong might happen to them.

Kelly is silent and doesn’t know what to say, but she can’t deny that every sentence Wade says is very reasonable.

Kelly sighs softly, then turns her gaze to the door of the operating room, “We don’t know where Sunny is going. And Kevin is still...”

“I wonder if Macie will be scared at home alone at night.”

Kelly is a little worried when she thinks that Macie stays at home only accompanied by servants and housekeepers.

She wonders how Sunny dares to leave such a small child at home alone!

But Kelly also believes that Sunny doesn’t intend to leave Macie alone at home.

Sunny gives birth to Macie in a foreign country by herself and brings up Macie with Maud and Troy, which proves that Macie is her very beloved child.

Compared with Sunny deliberately leaving the child at home and unwilling to take her away, Kelly believes that Sunny is forced to leave under some threat.

Sunny loves Kevin and their child, Macie.

Kevin has been poisoned for so long and Sunny has no intention of leaving, so there is no such

possibility as leaving at this time for fear of being involved.

Thinking of the person still locked there, Kelly’s eyes darken.

“Did...”

She suddenly says aloud and looks awful, “Did Butler threaten Sunny to leave with the antidote?”

This conjecture is not impossible.

As soon as these words come out, both Wade and Ellison are stunned.

“This...” Wade’s face is a bit ugly.

Ellison remains silent and does not speak, obviously thinking about this matter.

“We all know Butler’s feelings for Kevin.” Kelly calmly begins to analyze her own conjecture and tries to prove that the possibility of this conjecture is much greater than the others.

“And since Sunny and Kevin got married, Butler has almost regarded Sunny as a thorn in her side.”

“Plus, this time Kevin is poisoned, and only Butler has the antidote. According to Butler’s feelings for Kevin, I think...”

“It’s possible,” Ellison says solemnly.

Wade’s expression becomes more and more ugly, and he obviously recognizes Kelly’s view.

“Butler has always emphasized that what she wants was still not available.” Recalling the conversation with Butler in the afternoon, Ellison is even more affirmed.

“Because she is locked there by us and can’t reach the outside world, so naturally she can’t know whether Sunny leaves.”

Kelly nods, “Also, we don’t disclose to her that Sunny has already left, so she is not sure whether Sunny has left Kevin as they agreed.”

Being a friend of Sunny for more than ten years, Kelly is clear about her temperament.

“But why did she agree to Butler?”

Wade can’t figure out this question.

Since Butler threatens her with the antidote, why can’t she just confess to them?

Why does she agree with Butler to make such an uneconomical deal!

Suffer a double loss!

However, Kelly laughs, “Dad, I know too well her temperament.”

“The reason why she didn’t confess to us was that she was afraid that we would be embarrassed, and she was also afraid that our plan would be exposed.”

Sunny doesn’t dare to bet on Kevin’s life so she chooses the most reliable and stupid way-promise Butler and leaves Kevin.

Hearing this, Wade also understands the deeper reason. He sighs and doesn’t know what to say.

He is happy to have such a daughter-in-law for his son, but also sad for her foolishness.

“Kelly, you go back now.”

Ellison is silent for a moment, and says softly to Kelly, “Go to Sunny and Kevin’s room to check. You should be able to find what Butler prepared for Sunny.”

“Put away the important things and don’t let Kevin see it.”

Kelly nods, but looks a little worried, “Then what should we do next?”

“Leave it to me and dad. We will arrange it properly.”

Seeing this, Kelly nods firmly, dials the driver’s phone, and asks him to pick her up downstairs, then goes downstairs with Ellison.

And Wade is settled before Ellison goes downstairs.

Ellison originally wants him to take a break in Troy’s office while waiting for Kevin.

But Wade doesn’t agree and has to wait on the long corridor outside.

Ellison has no choice but to agree, and after sending Kelly into the car, he hurries back upstairs.
