Chapter 819
Kevin did not know what to say. He thought, ‘We’ve chosen this path, and there’s no turning back.’
The determination Zach once had to hurt Madelyn was now replaced by deep remorse for everything he had
done…
As the sky darkened, the grand church hall remained pristine and well-lit. The fire of burning candles inside the hall
swayed due to the wind. The gloomy weather outside hinted at an impending storm.
Zach was sitting on the pew with his body straight, head bowed, and eyes closed in prayer.
After Kevin finished his last phone call, he walked into the hall, “Mr. Jardin, the hospital just called. Ms. Jent’s surgery
will be completed soon. We should go back now.”
Zach opened his eyes. His strong gaze was less fierce than before, with an addition of calmness, “What time is it
now?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKevin responded, “It’s already eight in the evening. Once we arrive at the hospital, her surgery should be close to
completion.”
Zach and Kevin then walked out of the hall.
There were two people that walked out from behind the church. It was an abbot and a staff member. The staff
member asked, “Is this the person who donated money to our church?
“If he’s so rich, why does he still have worries?”
The abbot answered, “Everyone in the world has their worries, no matter who.”
“Got it.”
The road downhill was rough. It filled with potholes, causing the car to jolt. In the heavy rain, the car sped along the
elevated road.
When they arrived at the hospital, the scent of the church candles still lingered on Zach. When he arrived at the
ward, he saw Kai, who looked weary, standing near the observation window. When Kai saw Zach, he stopped him
and said, “The surgery went well. Now, we’ll just have to see if she can wake up.”
Zach responded, “That’s good.”
“What’s that smell on you?” Kai squinted as he sized Zach up. He was puzzled, “Did you visit Mistral Monastery?”
Kai thought, ‘He even did that. This means that everything I suspected has all come true…'”
“The
Kai wanted to say something to Zach. But when he was about to say it, he just said, surgery is done. You should rest
properly for some time. Don’t wait for her to wake up, or you’ll wear yourself out before that happens.”
Even if Kai continued to, advise Zach, it would just be of no use. Zach was staring unwaveringly at Madelyn, who
was in the intensive care unit.
The surgery lasted over six hours. Kai went back to his office and lay on his couch. He then
covered his eyes with his hand.
“I heard the surgery went well.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA voice came from behind the bookshelf. Agustin was holding two books in his hands.
Kai listlessly responded, “I don’t know. I’m sorry, Agustin… I’ve really done my best.”
“Since it’s already over, don’t think too much. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her. I was afraid the child would
ask about her mother. If you’re tired, just sleep.”
Agustin thought, “I’ve watched Kai grow up. His facial features resemble those of his willful mother.’
He then grabbed a blanket to cover Kai before he left…
Lana was holding a thermal food container. When she saw Agustin coming out of the office, she could not help but
glance away nervously and lean against the wall as she walked into the office.
Inside the food container was the takeout she bought from The Deli.
Kai had just fallen into a deep sleep with his eyes closed. Lana was about to wake him up but decided against it. She
planned to leave the thermal food container and leave…
Suddenly, there was a panicked voice, “No… Don’t…’
A nightmare that had troubled him for over twenty years haunted him again. There was a sound of intense gunfire
and a raging fire.
“Go with me, don’t abandon me…”
