A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 98

In any case she is still a doctor and therefore knows what she is doing.

“Go to the living room and look through the TV cabinet, inside should have my medical emergency kit.”

Following her instructions Kevin goes to look for it and not long after comes back with a small box.

He looks through it casually until he finds asthma and heart disease medicine.

“Are these yours?”

Sunny takes a slight glance over, “They’re Macie’s.”

Hearing this Kevin inspects the items more carefully and realises they really are all children’s medicine.

“Then what do you take?” When Kevin asks this question he suddenly feels a little ashamed.

Because like Macie said, although they have known each other for so long however Kevin seems to have never seriously cared about Sunny before.

However Sunny doesn’t have any of these thoughts, instead she glances casually towards Kevin and then uses her finger to point to which one, “That yellow box.”

Kevin picks it up and looks at it, “Anti-fever medicine?”

“Yes, I’m getting older now and not so finicky anymore, even with no water I’ll just take the medicine directly.”

However Kevin still goes out to find water. Unlike before, in the past he would always get Irene to do things for him. However this time in order to look after Sunny he willingly does what is needed for her.

After boiling the water and then letting it cool down, Sunny swallows the medicine in one gulp. But the medicine melts directly in her throat, and the bitter taste makes her frown.

“Does it not taste nice? How about you eat something now?”

Kevin remembers that his porridge had been thrown on the ground when he was passing through the door to see what was going on. He is about to sit up and pick up the porridge, but he is stopped by Sunny.

“Don’t worry, I’m not hungry. You can go take a shower and rest early, tomorrow I have some things I need to do.”

Sunny does not say exactly what she needs to do, but he vaguely understands what it could be.

“Do you want to go see Andrei?”

“I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

“Okay, then I’ll go take a shower. You should rest early too.”

While Kevin leaves the room he turns off the main light in Sunny’s room, but leaves the bedside table lamp on.

Sunny looks at the warm-coloured bedside lamp and eventually feels so tired that her eyes slowly begin to close.

However Kevin who is at the door, once he hears Sunny breathing evenly he breathes a sigh of relief and then begins to look around the room.

He knows this room, before Troy moved in it originally was their secret base.

He looks at all the furnishings in the room; many of them were picked out by them at the building materials market.

“This is my first ever independent space, therefore Kevin, as my best friend I grant you the permission to have a look inside.”

At the time his reaction, although on the outside he seemed unimpressed, however his hands could not stop touching everything and he could hardly tear himself away from this room.

Kevin cannot help but think of how Troy was just now, and although Kevin was in front of him it seemed that Troy didn’t recognise him. This makes him feel unbearably sad.

Before Baron said that the state they are in now was caused by Bella and perhaps the reason why something is wrong with Troy now has something to do with the phone call he had with Andrei.

All the evidence points towards the Hawkins family, and therefore Kevin quietly makes up his mind that he will go with Sunny tomorrow.

For the sake of his good friend he must clear up this matter.

Now that he has made up his mind he thinks that things will be much easier to solve now. Kevin then goes to the bathroom to take a bath, but after his bath he realises he made a mistake; he didn't bring any clothes with him.

As a result he has no other alternative but to put back on his old clothes and then goes to knock on the apartment next door.

Fortunately the people that lived there haven’t slept yet and Baron asks, “Who is it?”

“It’s me; I’m looking to borrow something from Troy.”

“He’s asleep.” Then in the next second the door opens and Baron’s cold face appears in front of Kevin, “If you need something then you can tell me.”

Kevin swallows some salvia, “Do you have any clothes I can wear?”

?

Baron feels that this request is a little strange and therefore looks behind Kevin to see if he can see something but instead sees nothing and a slight disappointment passes in his eyes.

“What are you looking at? I’m asking you to borrow something. Wait no, I’m asking to borrow clothes from Troy.”

“To keep?”

“Yes.”

Their conversation is seemingly a little mysterious.

“Alright, come on in and choose something for yourself.”

Hence Kevin walks inside and then looks at the door tightly shut and asks, “How is he doing?”

“He’s taken some medicine and is now sleeping. Macie is showering now.”

Kevin takes a glance at Troy and after seeing him still neatly dressed he can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, “Alright, then I’ll just take my clothes and leave.”

Baron raises his chin up, “His clothes are in my wardrobe, go get them yourself and be quick. I will go to sleep soon.”

Kevin has no choice but to follow his orders and quickly chooses something that isn’t too unattractive and then leaves.

Hesitating, he says his final words, “Thank you.”

Regardless of his treatment towards Sunny, Macie and Troy, Kevin feels he needs to say thank you.

However who knew that Baron would just disregard what Kevin said and instead with an expressionless face pats the invisible dust on him and says, “It’s late at night, don’t disgust me.”

…

Kevin has passed on his regards and that is enough, so then Kevin shrugs and says, “I’m leaving.”

“Be quick.”

Baron is still as impatient as always however Kevin at this moment feels that his impatience is different from how he was before.
