The more time they spend wasting with the old man, the more serious the losses of the group would
become.
When they got to their hotel room, they immediately fell asleep. As soon they woke up, they took a bath
and proceeded to Mr. Huang's company.
Mr. Huang's assistant welcomed them but told them that Mr. Huang wasn't there. Of course, Anne and
Kevin didn't believe what the assistant said so they kept waiting. They waited the entire morning, but
they never saw Mr. Huang.
With no other choice but to leave, Kevin and Anne went to the supermarket to buy ingredients to cook
soup for the old man.
"This soup I made is delicious. I've tasted it myself." The words of the old man still lingered in Anne's
head. He looked at Kevin, looking for approval.
Kevin slowly took a sip from the soup. He smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "It's really delicious!"
Anne knew Kevin to be a picky eater. So if he said that the soup was delicious, it must indeed be the
truth. "I feel that the old man is afraid that he will feel guilty to us if he continues to accept my soup like
this," Anne said.
Kevin couldn't help but agree with Anne. What the old man said yesterday made her feel very
conflicted.
After packing the soup, Anne turned to Kevin and asked, "Do you think Mr. Huang is really not in their
headquarters today?"
"Their company is very big. They probably have more than one office. But of course Mr. Huang was
there. He was just avoiding us," Kevin answered calmly.
If Kevin were on Mr. Huang's shoes, he would do the same.
"When I initially contacted him, Mr. Huang agreed without hesitation and was very glad to cooperate
with us. It's really unfortunate for us that he changed his mind in such a short amount of time." Anne
shook her head in resignation. If Mr. Huang met them, then they might be able to persuade him to
change his mind. Alas, Mr. Huang was avoiding them. Regardless of how much they wanted to say, it
was useless if they couldn't even speak to him.
They felt helpless as they could not use their skills to effectively convince him.
"This doesn't mean we don't have a chance. Anyway, everything's good now in A City, and there is no
need for us to go back so soon. Why don't we stay here at W City for a while? We don't need to work
here every day. Besides, I enjoy being with my dear wife like this." Kevin kissed Anne's forehead,
smiling like a playboy as he did so.
His words made Anne blush. She pushed Kevin and whispered, "Can't you be more serious?"
Kevin chuckled as he took the soup from Anne's hand. When they were done eating, they headed
straight to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, a nurse stopped them from getting in. This nurse was the one
taking care of the old man.
The nurse was relieved that she was able to stop Anne and Kevin from entering the ward on time. With
no time to waste, she said, "The old man's son is here. It's not wise for you to be here. Hurry up and
leave!"
Anne and Kevin looked at each other. With a smile, she said, "The old man's son is furious at us and is
saying that he wants to kill us, right?"
Surprised that Anne figured it all out, the nurse nodded.
Anne turned to Kevin, and he shook his head, tired of everything that had been happening. What the
old man's son said was exactly like what the three patients' families had said when they had passed
away in Sam's hospital.
"Hey, you two, don't be so easygoing. There were several brawny men holding sticks accompanying
his son. If they see you, I'm sure they're going to beat you up! You can't defeat them all! Do you want to
be beaten by them for no reason?" In the past few days, Anne had talked with the nurse a couple of
times. During their conversations, she saw that she was a kind-hearted nurse and was genuinely
worried about their safety.
After all, everyone in the hospital knew that Anne and Kevin were innocent. The old man was lying. It
was only natural for the nurse to take their side.
She thought it was unjust for the old man to blackmail Anne and Kevin. However, when she saw how
unreasonable his son was, it made him look respectable by comparison.
"Kevin, let's not go in. We must leave now." Anne looked at Kevin with worried eyes. Although Kevin
was good at fighting, he couldn't deal with several people at the same time. It was better to find another
way.
After a few seconds of silence, Kevin agreed with Anne. She then gave the soup to the nurse and
asked her to feed the old man. The two turned around and left the hospital.
The old man's son stood outside the ward like some sort of bodyguard. Patients who passed by walked
carefully around him, afraid that they would be beaten up if they offended him ever so slightly.
The doctor was also in a dilemma. He tried talking to him, but the son was unreasonable and insisted
that he wasn't causing any trouble. They had no reason to drive him out, so they let him stand there.
When the nurse brought the food to the ward, she put the bone soup in a bowl and gave it to the old
man. When the old man took a sip, he found that something was wrong. He looked down at the bone
soup with struggling eyes and sighed.
He had eaten this soup several times, so he knew who made this soup.
"What's wrong, old man?" Out of nowhere, a rough voice echoed across the ward. The nurse's hand
trembled, and the soup spilled onto the old man's hand.
She hurriedly wiped the old man's hand.
He raised his head and threw a dirty look at the man in front of him. He wanted to say something but
thought against it.
"Didn't I tell you to stop looking at me like that?!"
The sudden outburst startled the nurse. Without catching his attention, she looked back to see what the
man looked like.
He had short hair and a tattoo on his face that made him looked fierce. Aside from his face, his arms
were also draped with all kinds of tattoos, making him look even more
terrifying.
