Edward left composedly, as if it wasn't an arms dealer but a business partner who he had been dealing with. Hero's feelings for Daisy seemed to be sincere. It was only because of Daisy that he had come back despite knowing how dangerous it was. Edward admired his courage and devotion. It seemed that he wasn't the only one who appreciated Daisy's virtues. There were many other men who admired his wife. It seemed he had to be alert now. It was a troublesome issue.
Kevin twitched his mouth. Edward didn't seem to be helping. He was only making the situation worse. The tension hadn't been eased but rather aggravated now. Besides, he had to stand there listening to Edward and Hero talk about the woman he loved too. They could talk about it openly but Kevin felt bitter listening to that. Yet from Edward and Hero's conversation he figured out what Hero had come back for.
Major General Gu, what's going on here?" Mr. Yi, the chief of Public Security Bureau, hastened here with some policemen. He had no idea who the abductor was and why Kevin was doing nothing.
"What does it look like?" Kevin was angry now. He didn't dare to yell at Duke or be mad at Edward. Yet he sure could take it out on Mr. Yi. Mr. Yi gave an awkward smile. He actually couldn't tell what was happening. This was why he asked. But as a lower-level official, he couldn't tell Kevin that. So he quietly put up with Kevin's bad mood.
"Major General Gu, do you want us to leave safely or die together with you? Either way, I don't care." Hero smiled bitterly. Edward had ignored his provocation and left indifferently. The contempt in his attitude was like a blade stabbing his heart. That man was too powerful. He felt like a clown in front of him. He had lost miserably. Suddenly his life was meaningless.
I choose neither of them." Kevin glanced at Jessica and Mary disdainfully.
"I know you will choose the former. You're a military officer, you won't abandon the hostages. Don't follow up.
You know the consequence." Hero sounded arrogant and certain. He was certain about Kevin's choice.
Yes, Kevin was a military officer. So he had to watch Hero leave with the hostages in his hands. Because they had bound bombs on them. He had no choice but to compromise for the safety of the hostages. Still, they sent people to follow the abductors secretly. However, Hero was too sly. When the people started to follow him, he had already run far away. This was when, Jessica and Mary's miserable lives started.
"These two women belong to you tonight. Enjoy." Hero was pissed that Jessica and Mary had defied him. He started to ruthlessly deal with them as soon as they reached their new hideout.
"Thank you, boss. We will." Gangsters were usually lustful. So Hero's hooligans got really excited about their reward. Those two women were much more beautiful than the women they had been with before. They all pounced on the two women like predators.
"Hero, I'm your cousin! How can you do this to me?" Jessica was frightened. She tried to grab Hero's sleeve, but before she could reach him, the bodyguard stopped her.
"Jessica, you always look down on me. You shouldn't have hurt the woman I love. And I assume you asked the hooligans to hurt her. So this is what you deserve."
Hero sneered. He was smart enough to figure everything out. Normally, Daisy wouldn't have been so badly injured to be in a coma. He couldn't even have a look at her. Daisy was like a cut in Hero's heart. And Jessica and Mary's action torn that cut wide open. The pain was too much for him to bear. He wouldn't forgive them for that.
"But they failed. So you can't be so heartless to me!" Jessica was too scared. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She started to realize how silly she had been. Everything had happened because she wanted a man. Why was it so hard for her to let him go? She regretted the things that had happened so far. Things wouldn't have gone so bad if she hadn't acted so impulsively. All this had happened because of her relentless desire to win all the time.
"Heartless? Maybe. Have you forgotten what I do?" Ironically, Jessica had begged Wolf and the other men earlier for the same thing. Now only the environment and the men in front of her changed.
Screaming. Shrill cries. Nothing could make Hero change his mind. Jessica was resisting hysterically. Mary, on the other hand, just lay there, soulless, like a piece of wood. After everything that happened today, she had no energy left to revolt or rebel. She just accepted everything as her fate.
When Kevin and the others found them, they looked as desolate as the fallen leaves in autumn wind. This was what Edward wanted and Hero did it for him.
In this disaster, Jessica lost her child and she could never be a mother again. This was the toughest punishment for any woman. Hearing the result from the doctor, Kevin sighed. Jessica had brought on this to herself. She shouldn't have made so many troubles for Daisy in the first place.
Fortunately, Hero was caught at last. But Kevin thought surrendered on purpose. He had been found too easily. Most likely, Hero had turn himself in because of Daisy. Apparently, he was crazy about her. Sadly, just like Kevin, he too had fallen in love with the wrong woman.
The sky wasn't clouded because of someone's misfortune. It didn't rain because of someone's sorrow either. It was a new sunny day. Daisy finally woke up.
She had been sleeping for two days. It was either because of the effect of the anaesthetic or because she was too tired. Edward had been worried to death. Tom had been requested to stay in Mu's villa so that he could be around Daisy round the clock. He wasn't even allowed to go anywhere. Edward finally realised what Daisy must have gone through during the days when he was in a coma because of the gunshot.
