"The day I die?" Ken grabbed the gun and pressed it on his forehead, he threatened, "Shoot if you dare. Kill me today if you can. Anyway, I am old already. I am not afraid of death. But Lawrence, you'd better think it over. If I'm dead, you won't even be able to see Daniel's dead body, not to mention let go of him!"
"You..."
Lawrence looked at Ken, he really wanted to shoot Ken, but he was afraid that he would really hurt Daniel and Jessie because of his impulse.
He didn't want to expose the truth so soon, but when he saw that Jessie was worried about Daniel every day and felt guilty, he really wanted to do something for her.
Lawrence took back the gun and said, "I don't care how important Daniel is to you. Anyway, I don't want to see Jessie get hurt. If you don't release him, you can at least let Jessie see Daniel."
"Okay! I'll arrange it for you."
Ken's quick reply made Lawrence a little at a loss. After a pause, he said, "Arrange it as soon as possible. If you make fun of me, I will show you what I am capable of."
Ken watched Lawrence leaving. He was angry.
In his life, there were only two people who had threatened him. One was Nelson. And Lawrence was the second!
After thinking for a while, Ken picked up the phone and dialed a number. When it was connected, he ordered, "Speed up the test on Daniel." 'Lawrence, since you didn't care about anything except Jessie, I would let you know the consequence of threatening me.'
When Lawrence entered Jessie's room with porridge, Jessie had got out of bed.
Seeing that Jessie was standing by the window, he put down the porridge, grabbed a blanket on the sofa, and put it on her.
"Jessie, why did you get out of bed so soon? You should have more rest."
"I've been in a coma for so many days and my bones have become stiff, so I want to take a walk." With a faint smile, Jessie said, "Lawrence, don't worry too much. I'm really fine."
"Well, don't push yourself too hard. You need to rest after standing for a while, you know?"
"Yes. I know it."
Lawrence put the porridge on the tea table and said, "I have good news for you. There is some news about Daniel."
"Really?" Hearing that, Jessie was so excited that she wanted to walk forward. However, she hurt her wound so violently that she could not help crying out. Seeing that her wound was pulled again and her face turned red with pain, Lawrence immediately stood up and supported her to sit down on the sofa.
He rebuked in a low voice, "I told you to be careful just now. Look at you. Your wound hurt again in less than two minutes. I shouldn't have told you about it."
"No, please. I'm sorry. I promise I'll be more careful." Jessie held his arm and said sincerely. "Lawrence, you said there is news about Daniel. So where is he now? How is he now?"
Jessie kept asking. She felt so guilty because there wasn't any news about him for such a long time. If he lived a good life, she would feel better, but if not, she would rather suffer instead of him.
She was willing to pay any price as long as he could be safe.
"I know you are worried about him, so I've sent people to investigate as soon as possible." Lawrence held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry. I will inform you as soon as there is any news. Although Daniel is your younger brother, I have treated him as my family member. You just need to take care of yourself. You can't let Daniel see you like this."
Jessie nodded.
Since she had wounds all over her body, if Daniel saw it, he must be very sad. Moreover, since Lawrence said that he would help her look for Daniel, he must have found some clues, maybe it wasn't confirmed yet.
She had to be patient. Daniel would definitely come back.
Holding Lawrence's hand tightly, she leaned her head on his shoulder, "Lawrence, thank you."
