A Mysterious Man

Chapter 91 Come at the Door

Kevin realizes he is unable to leave, so he just sits and stares at this little girl in front of him, "Are you

still sleeping?"

When Sunny hears him talking, she feels relieved, and walks quickly to knock on Troy’s door.

Troy gets up and was going to the bathroom while he hears a knock on his door.

"Coming." Troy opens the door and the sight of Sunny, upsets him a bit.

Sunny speaks fast, "Kevin is not feeling well."

Troy feels his legs shaking, "Where is he now, in your house?"

Sunny nods, "I asked Macie to stay with him, but what he doesn’t know is that Macie is his own child."

"Oh..."

"Do you remember the poison in Kevin’s body?"

"Yes I do. Didn't Kevin say he cured it?"

Sunny says with a serious expression, "I have witnessed him vomiting blood and I checked his pulse, I

don’t think it is cured at all!"

"Seriously, What is this idiot doing?"

"I'm no doctor, you are! Please, if there is anything you could do, I would appreciate it very much,"

Troy and Kevin have been friend for so long, so he just get dressed and grab his tools to go check on

him.

Kevin’s , he is having a friendly chat with Macie, "How can I call you, is Macie fine to you?"

"Yes, mister."

"Ok then, which day were you born Macie?"

"October 23rd."

"Wow, your birthday is coming."

"Mister, I want to invite you to my birthday, do you want to come?"

Looking at Macie. who is about the age of his lost child, Kevin couldn’t say "no". "Then Macie, when

you pick up a location and a time just let me know, I will be there!"

Macie starts giggling around from excitement at Kevin’s words. She cannot resist but jumps on his laps

and kisses him on the cheek so loudly that the noise made Kevin deaf for a second.

Kevin looks at the small soft body in his arms, somehow a sad feeling rose.

He hesitates but he eventually stretches out and hug her.

It's just that something came up in Kevin’s mind, "Macie, where is your father?"

Macie gives him a meaningful look, and then goes, "Mom says, dad is far far away. I will meet him

when I’ll be grown enough to travel alone."

Kevin thinks to himself that the father she is talking is most likely dead, Sunny must have told her this

white lie to protect her.

Kevin's heart squeezed at the thought of this little girl, he strikes Macie's hair, and keep chatting with

her softly.

When Sunny and Troy get there they find before their eyes the sweetest scene every, and they stand at

the entrance to not interrupt that joyous moment between Kevin and the little one.

Macie suddenly sees Troy and Sunny coming in and shouts, "Mom! Uncle!" while sliding off Kevin

Quinn's leg.

Kevin crosses eyes with Troy showing some disappointment as the latter lied to him yesterday claiming

that Sunny was gone,

Troy is more concerned about the undissolved poison in Kevin Quinn’s blood than the unfriendly

welcome he received from him, so he walks over and sits beside him.

"Kevin, allow me, don't move."

Kevin kept chatting with Macie ignoring Troy’s words, moving his hands freely.

Troy is seriously worried about him and goes, "Are you aware that the poison, if not cured with antidote

will kill you? We do not have much time left."

Kevin looks indifferent, "I am, and?"

"And you are killing yourself! Bella has been begging you to take the medicine for so many years, are

you saying that all her efforts have been in vain?"

Kevin muses "What Bella has to do with it?"

Troy replies coldly, "After helping us, didn't she come back for you again and again?"

Hearing Troy’s talk, Sunny’s mind travels back into memory lane, seeing the whole year flashing in

front of her closed eyes.

Kevin is even more puzzled, "What is it that you are not telling me, what did Bella do?"

Troy sneers, "There is no need to act in such way, we all know how high you hold Bella, I will not say

anything that might discredit her. We have died once already, we cannot bear doing that once more."

Kevin knows they are not telling the whole truth, Every time they speak about Bella the air get dense,

he wonders what have happened between them.

Quién sabe?

Kevin is not going to throw gasoline on fire for now, he closes his eyes and remains silent. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Troy finishes checking the pulse for him, and he drops a bomb, "If you wish to die, just keep going like

that."

Macie gets a little scared hearing those words. She hides behind Sunny and asks with trembling voice,

"Mom, why uncle is mad?"

Sunny caresses her forehead, "Your uncle got out of the bed grumpy this morning, nothing to be afraid

of, kid."

Hearing this, Troy walks to the room staggering, gets in the bed, rolls over and goes back to sleep.

Kevin, Sunny and Macie remain in the room.

Sunny knows that the poison situation is getting dangerous, and she cannot stand it. Before he leaves,

Sunny says, "Take care of yourself."

Kevin’s mood spikes up. He rejected all kind of treatments so far like he is punishing himself. He

doesn't take Sunny’s words well, creating a spiral of events out of his control.

It's just that since she has returned, he doesn't know how to behave.

"I will," he says to Sunny and then makes firm decisions in his mind “I'm going to live my life properly,

all the things that happened filled my heart with doubts, and now I must deal with my past once again.

Sunny stares at Kevin's as he walks away, and begins to wonder whether her coming and going is

doing any good to him.

The memories of last year’s events are still vivid, and Sunny can't just forget all the struggles.

Looks like a storm is on its way...

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Macie’s words drags her back to reality. She lowers her head and looks at her baby. She feels lucky,

she still has her.

"Macie, what would you like to have? Mommy is gonna make it for you."

"I want fried eggs!"

"Fried eggs will be then." Sunny flicks Macie’s nose, "Go wash your hands first."

Sunny looks at Kevin while preparing breakfast for the little one, the aura surrounding him is quite dark.

Ruminating on Troy and Ellen’s words, Kevin gets to the conclusion that everything started with Bella.

Kevin couldn't help but think of the scary voice call he received some time ago, saying that he would

lose his most valuable things.

Is this Bella’s revenge? But why conceal it and fake her death?

With this on his mind he takes out his phone and makes a call.

"Jonathan, it's me. Have you got time for me now? I have something to discuss with you."

Shortly after, at Jonathan’s place he pours the coffee in the mugs, sits down and goes, "I am all yours."

Kevin takes a sip of coffee trying to be lucid and exhaustive, beginning from the simplest thing, "Your

apprentice came back, and brought a daughter with her."

Jonathan gets a little excited hearing this, "Are you talking about my precious apprentice, Sunny

Ellen?"

"Indeed."

"Where did you meet them?"

"Don't worry about it, it's not the reason I am here for. Do you remember that corpse that looked like

Bella we found back then?"

Jonathan hesitates, "I obviously do, what's up with it?"

Kevin says, "Based on the information I got today, Bella is still alive, and that corpse does not belongs

to her at all."

Jonathan reminds him softly, "Master, aren’t you forgetting something? Didn't you say that the body

was perfect and with no scars?"

Kevin looks at him as he goes on, "Did you also forget that the DNA of the corpse matched Bella’s

father, proving her identity unequivocally?."

Jonathan gets pensive, "I find it weird too. If the corpse belongs to Bella, where are the scars of the

wound? If it is not Bella, how can the DNA match with her father’s. It doesn't make any sense."

"There is something else. According to Sunny’s words, she met Bella just before the accident and she

told her something."

Jonathan squints, "That should involves you, right?"

"I do not care about that. The point is: if Bella is still alive, where is she now? Is she the mastermind,

acting from the shadow for all those years, behind all the things that have happened?"

Jonathan coughs uncomfortably when he hears the word "Mastermind", and then plays along with

Kevin, "So what we have to do now is to find her, or say to draw her out, but more importantly, you

need to figure out the reason of this all."

Kevin nods and says, "Besides me, there is someone else involved with her death, he could be the

key."

"Who?"

"Greg Reed."

After listening to Kevin speculations, Jonathan seems to be thoughtful, "The death of Greg Reed

should be poisoning. Is it convenient for you now? If we can, we go to his residence and take a look

around."

Kevin says, " let's check it out then."

"By the way, your brother has been asking about you, he sends his regards."

Kevin smiles helplessly, "Tell him I am still alive."

Jonathan sighs and wants to say something but Kevin precedes him, "I'm going to get rid of the poison

now, do you think I still have time?"
