A Mysterious Man
Chapter 81 Poison

"That's also the reason why I don't want to get back with her."

"But, she saved me during the fire!"

"I know, I knew that you would say that, but what if I told you, that she is the reason why it even happened?"

"What???"

"You know that those hotels are built in a traditional way, everything in there is stable enough, there is no way that it would just suddenly break down, so I already knew that time that she wanted you dead." Kevin is listening to what Jonathan is explaining to him, and feels as if a cold wind has hit him.

"But, why would she save me?"

"Save you? That's not what she did. She was outside to take a phone call, and then she got back inside. Do you remember if you heard anything weird?"

"What goes around comes back around?"

"Bingo." Jonathan nods his head, "That is the reason why she saved you."

Kevin is not even more confused, "What exactly is it?"

"To put it easy, she killed the wrong guy, the person she was supposed to get close to was not even you."

"Because I was standing right next to you all the time, but I didn't have the chance to speak."

Jonathan finishes his sentence, and turns on the light, showing his face that is covered with scars, "Because at that time, my mouth was taped shut." Kevin is still confused, and his head filled with questions, "But it was just Bella alone, could she have done all this?"

Jonathan is looking at him, "Who told you it was just her alone?"

"Then tell me, what kind of person is Bella?"

"She is the eldest daughter of the Hawkins family."

"If this is the only bit of sincerity you are going to show, I cannot tell you."

Jonathan has no way out, he cannot tell Kevin about it, but he also not convince him.

"All I can tell you is, if you keep checking her, it's not helping any of us."

"Okay, I don't care about that right now, do you have any lead on Sunny?"

Jonathan knows something, so he nodded his head, "There is a old factory on the other side of L Mountain."

"Last question. Do the PY Gangsters use poison? The ones that work really fast, and when the person is dead, it only looks like a heart attack?"

Jonathan shakes his head, "That I don't know, because I am not with them."

Even though Kevin hasn't found out anything that could help his case, but at least now he knows where Sunny is being held, it seems to be a step into the right direction. "Thank you, then, I am going to go and save my girlfriend now, please let me through."

But Jonathan doesn't move, "I am sorry, I cannot let you go."

Kevin is wondering, "Why?"

"Because of me."

A voice comes from the entrance door, and Kevin immediately knows who it is, "Bro!"

Ellison's face expression looks complex, he stands by the door, and sighs, then he walks into the room, "Yeah."

"Why don't you let me go!"

"Because I need to make sure that you are safe. Let me handle things with Sunny, and you just stay here." ""Ellison, that isn't fair, I wanna go too."

Ellison looks at him for a moment, "Sure, you can, but ask yourself if your health can hold up with this."

"I can, believe me..."

Ellison doesn't even give him the chance, and demands for Irene to come inside to look after him.

Kevin doesn't know what else to do, so he closed his eyes and pretends to be asleep.

When Irene leaves the room, Kevin opens his eyes suddenly, he is not even tired at all. He looks at the door, and has an idea.

When Irene comes back to bring Kevin some lunch, she notices that he is gone, and the window is open.

"Oh no! Mister Quinn ran off!"

This moment, Ellison, who is on the way to L Mountain, receives a call from Irene.

"What is wrong, Irene? Did something happen to Kevin?"

"Sir, it's all my fault, I didn't watch him well enough..."

Ellison hears what Irene is saying, and can already guess what Kevin has done.

So he comforts Irene, "It's alright, I will check on the way and see if I can replace him, you don't have to worry."

"Okay, Mr. Quinn, I will wait for your message."

Irene hangs up the phone, she couldn't distract him from driving the car.

After Ellison hangs up the phone, he throws the cell on to the other seat.

"What is wrong?" Jonathan already guesses that something happened with Kevin, and that is why Ellison is mad now.

"He never stops to worry me, ran off in the middle of the night."

Jonathan keeps silent, can't they take care of him even like this?

"It's alright, there is only this one road to L Mountain, we will replace him on the way."

Ellison sighs, and looks up into the sky, which is already dark. "Let's hope so."

"Come on, remember back then, you weren't afraid at all, what are you scared of now?"

"Tell me Jonathan, is there really an antidrug for the poison?"

Talking about this makes Jonathan quiet again, he has to think about it for a while, "To tell you the truth, yes, but he looks like the poison has been in his body for a while already, so it will make some more trouble." "If there is a drug for it, then it's good, otherwise I won't be able to face him."

Jonathan knows who Ellison is talking about, but anything he says now to try and comfort him will not work, "It's not your fault, you shouldn't take it to heart."

Ellison stares at the dark road, and doesn't say more.

Kevin, who is sitting in the back of a taxi, suddenly feels a cool breeze on his back, "Did the temperature drop?"

The driver is a chatty person, and not afraid to drive at night, "Haha, are you joking? The temperature right now is too high, I wish it would drop."

"Yeah. Where are you from?" When he came out, he thought there weren't any taxis anymore.

"That's a long story, I was chased out."

"By whom?"

"By the PY Gangsters."

Suddenly the air in the taxi stops when the driver mentions the name, Kevin cannot believe his own ears, "What did you just say?"

The driver turned his head, the smile on his face looks a little scary in the night light, "I said, I am from the PY Gang."

On the other side, Ellison and Jonathan are waiting at the entrance, but they didn't see Kevin at all, it makes them doubt.

"According to the time Irene called, he should have been here already..." Jonathan has a bad feeling about it, "Do you think..."

"No." Ellison says determined, "This kind of things barely ever happen."

Jonathan doesn't reply to that, both of them keep waiting at the entrance of the mountain.

Sunny feels as if she is going to starve to death, because no one is giving her anything to eat. She cannot do anything else, so she rolls herself up, and tries to sleep.

This way, she can not only charge up her energy, but at the same time, her body needs less energy as well, but even though, she is still so hungry, that her stomach is making noise.

She can't sleep, and everything around her is dark as night, he sighs in her heart, and is wondering what Bella wants to do with her, locking her here, but not coming to beat her.

If she only has some light in there, she can at least guess what time it is, but to keep staying in this dark room will make her crazy.

As if the good lord hears her wishes, the next minute, the door is being opened, and a dark shadow comes in, holding something in the hand.

Sunny immediately thinks of it being Bella, coming to kill her, she scares herself so much that she rolls herself even tighter.

Until the dark shadow reaches her, Sunny notices that it is not Bella, but a tall man.

He throws the thing he is holding on the floor next to Sunny, and laughs, "What a couple of bitter life."

Sunny's mind is suddenly very clear after hearing what the man just said, a couple, is the bundle that he just threw next to her Kevin? Why is he caught?

In this moment, Kevin makes a sound, "Hurt... it hurts."

Sunny thinks that he is injured, and moves close to him, not caring about the man who is still there.

"Where? Where are you hurt?"

Kevin's eyes are closed, he is not speaking, he does not reply to Sunny's question, as if he is asleep now that he heard her voice.

In this moment, the dark shadow of the man starts to speak, "Enjoy the last few days you two have together, when time comes you will only be able to be together in hell, hahaha!"

The person laughs while walking out, and closes the door behind him.

The room is now dark again.

Sunny's attention now is not on the darkness in the house anymore, but thinking about Kevin who just yelled out in pain. She knows him well, if it didn't hurt really bad, he would never cry out loud. Sunny moves closer to him again, and pokes Kevin with her head, "Are you alright?"

Kevin feels as if he is in a dream, he hears a voice that is like Sunny's, it is trying to wake him up, asking him if he is okay.

So subconsciously, he answers her with "I am okay..."

After he says that, he wakes up in real life, and opens his eyes, only to see full darkness.

"Sunny, is it you?"

Kevin is now sure that the voice he just heard is definitely Sunny, he is not just dreaming about her, and he is searching in the darkness.

Sunny hears Kevin's voice, and she hears him calling for her, suddenly she wants to cry, "I am okay, I am okay. Are you? You just said that you are hurt!"

Really? Did he say it when he was unconscious? Kevin can't accept that.

"I... I am alright, where are you?"

"I am next to you, come a little closer, than you can feel me."D☐☐☐☐
