A Mysterious Man

Chapter 85 I’m Jealous

Kevin pushes the door open. “I’m the doctor-in-charge and am here to examine…”

He swallows back his remaining words when he sees Sunny lying on the patient’s bed.

“What a coincidence. It’s you.”

Sunny is speechless too. “Yeah…The world is a small place.” Ever since the incident last time, this is

their first time meeting each other. However, there is an indescribable awkward atmosphere

surrounding them.

“Kevin, this is what you want me to…”

Troy doesn’t finish his sentence but Kevin understands what he meant. “Yes.”

Sunny doesn’t know the language exchanged between them, but she is clear about one thing. If Troy

Viktor is here, it’s most likely because of the baby in her stomach, so she just keep her mouth shut.

“Okay. Then, you should go down and get the results. I’ll take care of her.”

Even though Kevin knows that Troy is gay, but he still has an unsettling feeling inside. He wants to sit

here and watch over her.

Sunny also speaks her mind. “Go and get your results. If it’s fine, it’s not too late to come back up

here.”

Kevin still doesn’t know about the scene where Sunny discovers that Troy and Baron are dating. He

hesitates when she says so. “You…”

Sunny shakes her head. “Go. Else I won’t let him examine me.”

He gazes at her and she returns the favour. After an intense staring competition, Kevin admits his

defeat. “Sure. Troy, be careful when you examine her.”

“Okay. Just go.” Troy is annoyed and pushes Kevin out. “Go and detoxify yourself.”

Kevin got curious. “How do you know I was poisoned?”

“Just go away. Everyone knew about it.”

“But I haven’t tell anyone.”

“You sure are daring. Didn’t you say it yourself? That you were poisoned and asked Bella to go around

to find the antidote?”

Troy’s questions surprise him. He has never said such things. “I didn’t. I went back and slept right after

that…”

What does Bella want? Why is she making this difficult?

He doesn’t understand. He glances at Sunny, who also has a confused look.

Kevin can only push the questions in his heart to the back of his mind. He will have to discuss this with

Jonathan when he goes downstairs.

Ellison and Jonathan have a heavy look on their faces when Kevin goes downstairs. “What’s wrong?”

He asks them.

“Kevin, there’s something we need to tell you…”

Kevin suddenly has a premonition in his heart. “Bro, tell me.”

“The police at L Mountain found a body in a river. After an autopsy, the body turned out to be…”

Kevin almost lost his balance at the news. “Bro, are you sure it’s true?”

Ellison nods. “Yes. That’s Bella’s body.”

“Didn’t she run away? Why did she drown?”

Ellison shakes his head. “She did not drown. Her body was thrown into the river after being intentionally

murdered.”

His statement is enough to wake Kevin up. He immediately lifts his head and asks, “What did you say?”

Jonathan sighs and steps forward. He said, “I know you feel bad but it’s true. The murderer is most

probably a professional killer. He didn’t leave a single trace behind.”

Kevin looks at his surroundings blankly. The people around him have worried looks on their face.

What’s unexpected is that he isn’t as sad as he thought he will be.

“Let’s check the results. We’ll discuss other matters later.”

Jonathan hesitates while glancing at him. After getting the green light by Kevin, he checks Kevin’s

pulse.

“It’s fine. The poison is not too bad. You can be saved.”

Rather than paying attention to Jonathan’s diagnosis, thoughts keep flashing across his mind. If Bella

really died, then who is the one that is spreading rumour that he is poisoned and is seeking for an

antidote?

“Wait a minute. There’s a problem.” Kevin can’t help but to interrupt their conversation. “Just now Troy

told me that someone was spreading rumour that I was poisoned and needed an antidote. I’ve only

gotten to know about this yesterday night. So, who knew about this earlier than me?”

Kevin is immersed in his analysis. He turns and looks suspiciously towards Jonathan.

Jonathan understands his gaze immediately. He smiles and explains, “I only know about this

yesterday.”

Kevin can only analyze in another direction. “That means, the person spreading rumour is not Bella but

the murderer.”

He thinks about it for a while. When he’s certain there’s no other possibilities, he nods his head.

However, Baron who is standing at the side interrupts his thoughts. “The body might be fake. You

haven’t seen it so you can’t prove that it’s real.”

His sharp remarks silence the others. The mystery in front of them seems vague than ever.

At this moment, Troy opens the upstairs door and walks down silently.

Kevin looks at him and asks, “How did the test go?”

Troy only glance at him, not blurting a word.

“Say it quickly. I can handle it.” Kevin starts to panic.

“Your child is fine, but…”

Kevin gulps, the ‘but’ word means no good.

“But what?”

“When your wife heard that you’re fine, she ran away.”

“?”

Shock is written all over Kevin’s face. “What did you say?”

“Your wife ran away!” Troy closes his eyes and shouts. Kevin’s fists clench tightly at his sides. “Can’t

you even take care of one person?”

Troy feels helpless. “Do you know how your wife threatened me?”

“Yea?”

At that time, Kevin shows a I-will-kill-you-if-there-is-no-good-reason face.

“She said that if I don’t help her, she’ll jump from this building and two lives will be gone. I’m a doctor

and I really can’t see two lives just gone like that, so I have to let her go.”

Kevin asks only one question after hearing his explanation. “Which direction did she go?”

Troy points towards the backdoor. “That way.”

“Goddammit!” Kevin curses and gets ready to chase after her.

Ellison reaches out and grab his arm. “Don’t go first.”

“Bro!” Kevin shouts at the top of his lungs. “I need to get to her!”

Ellison rubs his forehead. “Don’t act rash. I’ll call Kelly first and check whether your wife contacted her

or not.”

Kevin stands at there anxiously. Jonathan takes his chance to approach him and says, “Let me check

and I’ll prescribe the medications.”

Annoyed, Kevin stretches his hand for Jonathan to check, but his glare remains on Troy, as if it’s a

move to force the truth out of him.

Troy innocently waves his hands. “Are you still blaming me for this?”

At this time, Baron suddenly speaks up, “Since there’s nothing left for us to do here, we’ll leave. You

guys go and do what’s need to be done then.”

“Wait.”

Kevin looks at him suspiciously. After a while he replies, “True, there’s nothing anymore. Go ahead

then.”

Baron raises his eyebrows, silently agreeing with Kevin and turns to leave. He gets into the driver seat.

As expected, there’s someone hiding in the backseat. He looks into the rear-view mirror and smiles.

“Sunny.”

Sunny comes out of her hiding spot and rubs the non-existent dust on her body. “Hi.”

Troy gets into the passenger seat. He checks his surroundings one more time and glances at the

person behind him. He whispers to Baron, “Start the car and leave this place. We have to leave from

the devil’s den as soon as possible.”

Sunny nods her head, agreeing with Troy’s words. “Hurry.”

Baron knows that he can’t convince Troy, so he just step on the accelerator and leaves the place.

Suddenly, Sunny remembers an important question. She asks, “Can I ask both of you a question?”

Troy answers, “Just ask anything. We welcome any questions.”

A sly smile creeps on Sunny’s face. “Which one of you is the top?”

Troy immediately regrets himself saying that they welcome any questions.

“A lady like you have to receive prenatal education for the baby in your stomach. Do you understand?”

Sunny shrugs her shoulders. “This baby will be given to Kevin Quinn anyways. It’s fine. Now, answer

my question.”

Troy looks at Baron, hoping that he can save him. However, Baron has no plans to get involved. “You

started it so you’ll solve this.”

Troy can only grit his teeth. He answers, “Of course it’s me!”

Sunny actually never expect him to answer that she almost choke when he answered. “Ahem. Troy

Viktor, you are very brave.”

However, Baronwho is driving looks at Troy coldly and replies, “Of course.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Troy’s limbs shiver under his stare. He even start to feel his specific body part starting to go numb.

“Ahem. Let’s not dwell on this issue anymore.”

“Can you guys explain to me what happened back there?” Baron asks, bringing the conversation back

on the right track.

For some reason, in the past when she first meet Baron, she thought that he was a kept man. Now, she

feels that there’s something very different about him.

However, for now, these two men are the only people she can rely on so she dares not to talk without

thinking beforehand. She starts to explain briefly in a pitiful tone.

“We heard your conversation from upstairs and felt that there’s something strange about Bella’s case.

In addition, I wanted to go out so I ask for Troy’s help…”

Baron remains emotionless throughout her story. He says only one sentence after that. “I’ll give you

three seconds to rephrase your sentences. Your story can’t even be accepted by elementary students.”

“...”

“I’m jealous. I don’t want to stay in that stupid place and be a giving-birth machine.”
