“Kieran Charles!”
I saw Kieran pushing the door in, followed by the man in the ancient robe in the hospital that day, and I jumped up from the hospital bed at once, not expecting Kieran to chase me here.
“Mr. Charles!”
Kieran slowly walked to the farthest window and sit down. The strong backlight enveloped him, half yin and half yang. He looked like a god, a demon, and the black-robed man stood respectfully by the slightly far side.
“Mr. Charles, can you please give me a few more days? Please, my brother is missing and I must find him first, then......”
I tried to explain, but as I said, tears fell without consciousness, so that I could not say anything. In fact, I didn’t know why I still tried to explain. Kieran and Marlon were basically the same kind of men, so indifferent and heartless. Davidson’s life or death was even incomparable with half of their interests.
“Owen!”
Kieran said faintly.
“Yes, Mr. Charles!”
Owen brought a tablet to me and suddenly, Billie’s face appeared on it. I froze momentarily and then grabbed the tablet,
“Billie, where is Davidson? Where are you now? Is Davidson safe?”
Billie was a little surprised,
“Ms. Cornell, Davidson, and I are fine. Weren’t you the one who asked your friend to pick us up? And Davidson’s surgery was a success!”
I froze hard,
“Davidson’s surgery was done?
Where is he?”
“Davidson is playing!”
Billie said and let me see what Davidson was doing.
I saw that Davidson was sitting on a large soft cushion on the floor, playing with a toy, and the moment he turned around, smiling gently at me. My hands holding the tablet trembled uncontrollably, and once again the tears were about to break strongly, but I forced myself to hold them back and asked gently,
“Davidson, how are you feeling right now?”
Davidson smiled and shook his head. His little face was actually much less pale and more youthful.
“So, are you happy these days?”
I caressed Davidson’s face on the screen. I thought I was going to lose him because of my incompetence. Despair had filled all my life. But now, Davidson was still standing vividly in front of me, which suddenly made me feel no more resentment for everything I had gone through.
“As long as my little brother is safe and healthy, nothing else matters!”
“Time’s up, Ms. Cornell!”
Owen reached for the tablet back and I scrambled to Davidson,
“Davidson, you should be good and obedient. I will come to see you soon!”
As soon as I said that, Owen had already hung up the video and then went out with the tablet, and instantly, only Kieran and I were left in the ward.
“Mr. Charles, thank you!”
I gave a respectful ninety-degree bow to Kieran.
Kieran gave a cold laugh,
“It is too early to thank me, Rachael... I’m a businessman and I never do business at a loss!
You have to pay back for his treatment in Country M, as well as his accommodation!”
“I know, and this is my duty, but, thank you!”
I genuinely said. I knew that Kieran would never do a good deed without asking for something in return, but no matter what, he ended up arranging the operation for Davidson and placed him in a nice and comfortable house. All of that, I was going to pay it back even slaving for him.
Kieran looked at me faintly.
“It’s good that you know it”
A contract was then dumped on me, and I picked it up.
“You don’t have to follow the CH project anymore!”
