Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

The woman he held so dear to his heart had died so miserably and painfully, and they deserved a taste of that pain too! No, a thousand times that pain should be returned to them!

James clasped his hands in his lap and stared vacantly out the window at the sun.

Did Angela like to look at the sky outside like this when she was in prison?

–Nor is it right.

She shouldn’t have that kind of time, those inmates in prison will torture her endlessly ……

And all of this is his doing!

James’ hand was balled into a fist and he pounded hard on his heart, feeling that the blood was thickening and was gradually stopping, uncomfortable and depressing to the extreme.

He says he loves her, but all the pain she suffers is because of him!

Was it …… he shouldn’t have forced her to stay with him when he hadn’t taken care of everything?

Snapping.

At that moment, the door slammed.

The man who entered was a man in his fifties, in military uniform, with a straight back, looking very amiable and approachable.

“Get out!” James said in a cold voice without even looking back.

Commander Evetts laughed a few times, “Why is James in such a temper? Did the man who just brought you here, do something to piss you off?”

He had walked up to James as he spoke and reached out to tap him on the shoulder.

But almost as soon as he tapped James on the shoulder, the latter yanked him violently by the wrist and dropped him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder slam.

James didn’t stop there, but crouched down and locked his throat in a vicious choke hold.

Seeing this, the two guardsmen brought by Commander Evetts surrounded James left and right, guns in their hands aimed squarely at his head, “Let go of the Commander!”

The two guards did not dare let up and kept a firm eye on him.

Commander Evetts waved his hand at them unimpressed, “You two put your guns down.”

James was using a lot of force, a real choke hold on his throat, and he was struggling a little to say the words.

“But ……”

“No buts, put the gun down, that’s an order!”

Commander Evetts gave the order and the two guards had to put their guns away, but kept a close eye on James and were the first to rush him if he made a move.

“James, it’s fine for you to do that, but you’ve got to let me know, why, right?” Even with James around his neck, Commander Evetts remained spoilt for choice.

James didn’t say anything with a cold face and raised his hand to throw a punch.

He and Commander Evetts had already laid out a plan and it would only take another month or two to catch whoever was behind all this.

It was not convenient for them to contact each other in the meantime, lest the other side find out what was going on. But he had repeatedly told Commander Evetts to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Angela so that nothing would happen to her.

At the time Commander Evetts was quick to agree, but –

“What did you promise me in the first place?!”

James clutched his collar with both hands, his eyes red underneath.

He hated Commander Evetts for not keeping his promise, but hated himself even more for not leaving something that was Angela’s safety in the hands of another person!

“Did you say …… Miss. Angela?” he snapped, and Commander Evetts froze for a few seconds before responding.

James lifted him by his collar and yanked him up. The two guards tried to come over but were stopped by Commander Evetts with a look.

“What do you say?” James gritted his teeth, “You promised me something then, why didn’t you do it?”

Commander Evetts is also guilty in this matter, “I’m sorry, I do owe an apology in this case, but at the time ……”

“Will she come back to life if you say you’re sorry?” James interrupted in a cold voice, his face full of sarcasm and pain.

Would saying sorry enough bring his Angela back to life? Would it bring his child back to life?

Commander Evetts was really in the wrong and didn’t know what to say.

One of the guards couldn’t help but say, “We had an important mission to carry out at the time, how could we have the time to keep serving as Angela’s bodyguard?”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the commander thought badly and tried to interrupt him, too late.

“No time for that is it?” James sneered and kicked the guard to the ground, “I don’t have time for any fishing plans with you either, you’re on your own.”

He paid no further attention to the men and strode out.

“Go back and collect your own punishment!” Commander Evetts gave the guard a black glare and hurried after James, “James, let’s have a talk, I’ll apologise for my guard who has just offended you.”

The two men had walked to the entrance of the prison.

James stopped and looked at him mockingly, “I’d just get those people killed and go to jail, rather than work with you again!”

There was already a car parked in front of the prison, belonging to Howard Lee.

James didn’t give Commander Evetts any half-hearted respect, opening the door and getting into the car, leaving Howard Lee to start it.

Commander Evetts watched the back of the car disappear from sight with a depressed sigh.

The plan was about to work and then something went terribly wrong? This is a big problem ……

“Mr. James, where to?” Howard Lee asked in the car.

James had just been arrested and texted him to drive and wait outside and he would be out soon.

“Bamboo Estate,” the voice was cool and weary.

It wasn’t a very good stretch of road, and almost as soon as James said it, the car lurched. He subconsciously reached out and put his hand against the back of the passenger seat so that Angela wouldn’t hit her head.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

But until the car regained its stability, his hands remained empty.

He craned his head to look before remembering that Angela was no longer …… there and his heart went empty.

“Mr. James, we’ve found out who did it.” Howard Lee said a little heartily as he watched his disoriented appearance in the rear view mirror.

James withdrew his hand, the frustration in his eyes had dissipated and the coldness coalesced a little, “Who?”

“Miss Jessica.”

It just so happened that it was snowing heavily and the killer did not handle the footprints. The police followed the trail and soon found out that Jessica was responsible for the incident.

However, he felt that with Miss. Jessica’s intelligence, she should not have been found out so quickly, but it was somewhat like …… was doing it on purpose.

James’ fists clenched a little, remorse almost overwhelming him.

He should have killed her in the first place so Angela wouldn’t have died!

It’s his fault!

There were so many opportunities to keep Angela, but he was greedy enough to want to get rid of all the people who were behind them and agreed to her plan ……

“Mr. James?” Howard Lee waited for a long time without a reply, and when he glanced in the rear view mirror, he saw the man who was usually at ease with everything, now with blood and tears under his eyes.
