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.”
