He had just spoken when the gun in Claude’s hand aimed for the door lock and he immediately fired. With the sound of a gunshot, the door lock was broken.Claude gave Jesse, who was shocked, a push. "Go and open the door." As for Claude, he was guarding Simon. He was on standby to counter any danger that might occur anytime.Jesse had come to this place before. Hence, he was quite familiar with it.He pushed the door and entered. Then, he started leading the way on the path in front.That laboratory was spacious. They walked deeper in for some time before arriving at the room where experiments were conducted."I'm not sure whether Miss Tammy really sent that person here. We can search around," Jesse said."Continue leading." Simon was asking Jesse to help him look for the person."Then let's start from the laboratory. Normally, Miss Tammy will send the specimens to the laboratory to her convenience…" '...to conduct an experiment.'Claude used the same technique to destroy the do
On the hospital bed, Sharon was trying her very best to open her eyes but she felt that her eyelids were too heavy.She could smell the antiseptic, and in her subconscious mind, she thought she was still trapped in Tammy's underground laboratory.In a blink of an eye, her mind was flooded with images of Gerald wanting to shoot Simon. That made her so shocked that she shouted out loud and opened her eyes. "No! Simon…"She panted, and the snowy white ceiling was reflected in her eyes. Beep, beep. The sound of the medical equipment echoed in her ears.Before she even came back to her senses, the outline of a child was seen running to the side of her bed. "Mommy, you're finally awake!"Sharon snapped out of it and turned her head to look, only to notice that it was Sebastian.Her mind was not completely clear yet and she was not able to comprehend the reason for her son’s appearance in the ward.Sebastian noticed that his mother was absent-minded and not speaking a word. It nearly m
Eugene got the hint from the look Sharon threw him. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "They've met each other but he didn’t reveal his identity to Sebastian.”Simon had not revealed his identity to his son. Eugene thought it might not be convenient to mention it, hence he had not told Sebastian that it was his father.Sharon was puzzled. 'What does he mean by that?'Could it be that Simon doesn't want to acknowledge their son anymore?’"Where is he? I want to meet him."Eugene looked at the time. "He’ll be here soon. We're taking turns to look after you."She had been unconscious for so many days. Previously, no one could say for sure when she would wake up. Hence, they could only take turns to look after her. After all, they each had their respective work to settle as well.While they were having a conversation, the door of the ward was pushed open and Claude pushed Simon in.Simon was dumbfounded to see Sharon awake. There was a glint in his dark eyes, and he maneuvered his
Sharon noticed that her son had misunderstood Simon. She spoke up on behalf of him, "Sebastian, your daddy didn't intentionally change his appearance so that we wouldn’t be able to recognize him. His appearance was disfigured before this and he had no choice but to undergo plastic surgery.”Sebastian was mad all of a sudden. After all, for the past two years, he had been blaming himself for previously telling his father that he wanted to cut ties with him.After listening to what his mother said, he thought back to what his father had gone through. He even needed to depend on a wheelchair to move around now. This only showed how terrible his injuries had been during that explosion back then."Daddy, you got disfigured because of the explosion back then?" Sebastian asked."Yeah." Simon lifted his head slightly. If not for this, how else would he have ended up disfigured?Sharon was right. Strictly speaking, he had just fixed up his appearance.Sharon admitted that Tammy’s skills w
Sebastian could also read the atmosphere. "Alright. Mommy, please be patient and wait for a moment. We’ll go get you something delicious to eat.""Sorry to trouble you guys, then," said Sharon with a smile.After they filed out of the room, they closed the door of the ward.In the room, Sharon and Simon locked gazes as they looked at each other. It was as though they had thousands of things to say to each other yet did not know where to begin.After a moment, Simon touched her hand and softly asked, "Do your wounds still hurt?”Sharon looked aggrieved and pouted. "Of course, they hurt. You have no idea, but when I was locked up in that underground lab, I thought I'd die there."Simon's eyes became dim, and he felt heartbroken. "I'll never let such a thing happen again."She heard it and subconsciously grasped his hand. "I didn't mean to blame it on you. I was just afraid… Afraid that I might really die while I was in there and won’t be able to see you for the last time.”Simon'
Sharon noticed Simon's expression suddenly turning cold, and she could not help but have a bad premonition. She softly asked, "What's wrong? You haven’t managed to locate him yet? Is Tammy still not willing to hand him over?"The cold glint in his eyes disappeared and he lowered his eyes to say, “No. I've found him."Sharon let out a breath of relief. "Then that's great. He's alright, right? Was he also locked up by Tammy?""I've sent someone to send him back home." During the days when Sharon was still unconscious, Simon had already arranged Franky's funeral."Back home? How is he doing?" 'Or else, why would he go back home so soon?'At that moment, Simon looked into Sharon's curious eyes. He kept quiet for quite some time before speaking out softly, "His ashes were safely delivered back home."Sharon could not react to the words when she heard them. After being dumbfounded for some time, she stuttered out the words, "What… What did you say? What ashes? Franky, he's…""He's gon
“He won’t wish for you to shed a single tear for his sake. After all, your tears can only be shed for me,” he said with a hoarse voice. He lowered his head and pressed his lips on the corner of her eyes, kissing away those crystal clear tears.Sharon found it ticklish and held on to her breath. She pouted. "How can you be so irrational? They’re my tears and I can cry whenever I want to. My tears don’t belong to you."'From his words, is he saying that I'll need to get his permission to cry?'"Your everything belongs to me. Your body, your heart, your tears…" He lifted his hand and brushed the hair on her face, tucking the strands behind her ears. "Besides, I'll never simply make you shed even a single teardrop. I only wish to see you smile."Simon's voice was quite pleasant to listen to yet it still sounded quite domineering."So must I smile when you want to see me smile? I'm not someone hired to smile at you." She intentionally twisted the meaning of his words. 'This is what he
Simon headed over to visit Tammy.In the ICU ward, Tammy was lying in the hospital bed while on a ventilator. Her condition was not looking too good.She had just woken up and kept making a ruckus about wanting to meet Simon, or else, she would not accept the doctor's treatment.Jesse was out of wits and had hurried to get Simon over.The moment Tammy saw Simon, her face that was initially looking lifeless, suddenly sparkled."Henry…" She waved her hand at him, wanting to grab onto him. Without Simon by her side, she felt insecure.Yet, Simon was looking at her with a dull expression. Even his tone was insipid as well. "Is there anything you need that made you summon me over in such a hurry?” At that moment, Tammy should be taking a rest and receiving her treatment.Tammy still extended her hands, attempting to touch Simon. However, she was unable to do so. This made her so anxious that she started panting hard.Simon furrowed his brows and got a little closer to the hospital b
