"Afterwards, I went to the police station with this diary, hoping that they could investigate my sister's case again. However, two days later, someone came to my home and said that you had sent someone to stop us from investigating the cause of my sister's death. He also threatened us to leave K country. Otherwise, he gave us a hard time. My parents knew that the Mo family is very powerful and we can't afford to provoke you, so they emigrated with me. " Kim took a puff and blew out a cloud of smoke.
"Do you remember the character of that person?" There was a flash of color in Lucas's eyes.
"He's tall and thin. He looks young. I guess he's in his twenties." Kim thought it over carefully. Although it had been many years, he still remembered it clearly. "Oh, right. There is a small red birthmark on his neck."
Lucas was shocked and gave a business card to Kim. He said to Kim, "Don't worry. If anyone dares to threaten you again, just call me. I'll handle it for you."
With disbelief on his face, Kim took the business card and asked, "Is it really not you?"
"I always admit what I have done. I won't admit what I have done."
Then, Lucas drove away with Sophia. Along the way, silence was the only color in the car. He was expressionless.
Sophia glanced at him from time to time and didn't say anything. She just thought about what Kim had said in her heart. Kim looked like a very timid man. For so many years, he seemed to have been afraid of Lucas, and he should not have the courage to pretend Joyce and wanted to hurt her. Moreover, she could follow them all the way. She must be a very good man since she knew about the whereabouts of Lucas.
She dug out a woman who had died for so many years, and killed her with Joyce's hands. In the end, she was killed just like what she had said before she died: even if she became a ghost, she would pester Lucas. No one else could get what she couldn't get.
It was indeed a thoughtful plan to take the life of an innocent person.
Sophia sneered to herself. It was so odd that Joyce had been killed as well. Who was threatening the Guo family in the name of Lucas. From the depressed look of Lucas, he should have found something in the description of Kim.
Then they went back to the Bluewater Villa.
When they came back, Lucas poured a glass of whisky and took a swig, as if venting some of his anger. Sophia wanted to tease him. But when she walked to the wine cabinet, she suddenly felt stomach cramps. She covered her belly with one hand, and grasped his clothes with the other hand.
"What's wrong?" Lucas held her immediately.
"My belly suddenly hurts. My period is coming?" She groaned.
Lucas put his arm around her waist and lied down on the sofa. "Are you late this month?"
She calculated silently in her heart. It was almost two weeks late. She pouted her lips in anger. "It's all that ghost's fault. I'm so nervous, suffered from endocrine disorder and my period didn't come to me until now."
Smiling, Lucas caressed her head lovingly, "Okay, I'll ask the maid to make some brown sugar soup for you."
She giggled and her curly eyelashes were fluttering like butterfly wings. "How do you know that I need to drink brown sugar water during a girl's period?"
"You drink it every time, don't you?" He flicked her forehead and thought, 'As a married man, of course I should know some basic knowledge about women.'. Sophia sat up from the sofa and rested her head on his shoulder. "It's good to have a husband all of a sudden."
"You're too dull, aren't you?" He pinched her chin lovingly.
"Will you still be so kind to me when I am old and ugly, with wrinkled face, grey hair and a bloated figure?" She naughtily blinked her eyes.
"Not necessarily." He shook his head with a weird smile on his face. Sophia immediately jumped up from the sofa with a scowl. "Let me tell you, even if I'm old, I'll still get rid of all those pretty guys. You'd better be careful all your life!"
Lucas laughed out and held her in the arms. "Honey, calm down. I just want to say, I am much older than you, and I will definitely die before you. How will I treat you then?"
Sophia stood on tiptoe, gently bit his lips and said, "When you're going to die, I'll go downstairs all the time to find you. There must be a lot of ghosts around you when you get there. I don't want to leave you alone."
