Chapter 209
There was a pir in the middle of the cell. And four people were tied to the pir as if they were
dogs with their hands tied by belts.
"Go on."
Patrick spoke.
As soon as he spoke, I saw that the ground of the cell suddenly cracked open and that the cell
became two divided cages vertically.
There seemed to be a group of dogs in the cage. And the dogs looked like a pack of wolves as well.
Even though I couldn''t hear the voice, I could see that the ones inside were opening their mouths,
indicating that they surely were screaming!
The four ones tried to dodge as much as possible. And the wolves below kept passing their ws
through the fence and began to scratch their bodies...
Just then, someone lost his bnce and identally fell into the cage below. I saw the wolves
swarming towards him!
Instantly, blood sshed on the screen! When that person''s leg came up again, bones
were exposed!
I saw the four people on the screen kowtowing in the direction of the screen!
Finally, Patrick opened his mouth, "Say it or not."
I didn''t know what the ones inside were talking about.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
Neither did I know what Patrick was doing.
However, I stood in the back and looked at the miserable look of the four people on the screen. I
could even feel the indifference of Patrick when he was facing everything.
It was as if human life was worthless in his eyes!
At that moment, my heart was filled with fear. It seemed that I had never known Patrick before!
I quietly left the study andy quietly on the bed. The four people on theputer screen just now
kept showing up in front of my eyes.
"Who are they?"
"Why did Patrick treat them like this?"
My mind was in a mess. And I even felt like I was apanying a demon!
About an hourter, I heard the sounds of light footstepsing from the corridor.
"Has he finished the interrogation?"
"Are those people still alive?"
Patrick came in andy on the bed. I turned my back to him and felt that he put his arms around my
waist. I couldn''t help but tremble a little!
"Haven''t you fallen asleep yet?"
Patrick asked behind me.
"... I..." I swallowed my saliva and hesitated for a moment. Then I said, "I am going to have an
operation tomorrow. I can''t fall asleep."
"Don''t be afraid. I''ll apany you."
His voice was a little hoarse.
I could feel his cold hands.
I didn''t say anything. I closed my eyes with ill-ease in my heart...
"Patrick Cowell, how on earthplicated are you?"
The next day, the time when I was supposed to start my treatment came...
After we arrived at the hospital, unexpectedly, the doctor said, "I am so sorry, Mr. Cowell. One of the
drugs needed for the operation is imported abroad. It''s out of stock recently. You may have to wait
for another two weeks at least..."
"Why didn''t you coordinate well in advance?"
After Patrick heard his words, an unhappy expression immediately appeared on his face.
At this moment, the scene in the videost night was all over my mind. Fearing that Patrick would
do something desperate to hurt the doctor, I said quickly, "It''s okay, it''s okay. In fact, I am not
completely mentally prepared yet. It''s good to wait for another two weeks."
I forced augh.
Since I said that, Patrick agreed. But the expression on his face couldn''t be more gloomy.
After we went back that night, Patrick held me in his arms and wanted to make love with me. But I
wasn''t interested at all.
As I looked at his face, I had been thinking about what had happenedst night. So I couldn''t help
but ask, "Patrick Cowell, have you killed anyone before?"
"Why did you ask so?" Patrick looked at me with some suspicion on his face.
I shook my head, "I''m just asking."
He gently kissed me on the forehead, "Killing is illegal. How can I kill others? I want to apany
you all over my life. So I won''t do those things."
"Is that so?"
I lowered my eyes. And I couldn''t be more upset in my heart.
And I just said, "I''m tired." Then I turned around and fell asleep.
The next day, my period came, making me have an excuse for not making love with Patrick. But
every time I closed my eyes, the scene on the screen that day kept showing up in front of my eyes.
In the evening, I would dream of the scene which I had seen on theputer screen. And I could
even hear those people on the screen crying, screaming, and begging for mercy!
After three days, I couldn''t stand it anymore.
The moment Patrick opened the door, I suddenly hugged him, "Patrick Cowell, I''m sorry. That day,
in your study, I saw those whom you locked up in a cell!"
I had to say it. Otherwise, I probably would drive myself crazy.
He didn''t seem to be surprised at all. He hugged me with one hand and said tly, "I know. That day
you asked me if I had killed anyone. I knew that you surely had seen it."
It turned out that he had long known what I had seen in his study. In that case, why didn''t he ask
me?
Could it be that he was waiting for me to speak first?
At this moment, I would rather Patrick lie to me, pretend to be surprised, and exin to me.
The look on his face made me even more afraid.
I didn''t know what to say. He hugged me and said, "Those people are the ones who did something
to Seth''s car."
"What?"
I raised my head and looked at Patrick in disbelief.
Patrick said, "They''re from an underground organization that specializes in this kind of shady
business on usual days."
"How did you know?"
Since it was an underground organization...
"When they are getting their tasks done, they tend to leave a mark on the spot that is neither
conspicuous nor negligible, which is to warn the employer. If the employer gets exposed and
intends to betray them, they will take advantage of this point to intimidate the employer." Patrick
exined to me, "I found such a mark. That''s why I found them."
"Then... Who''s the employer? Did they tell you?"
"For the time being, they didn''t." Patrick was silent for a moment, saying, "But don''t worry. Since I
promised you to investigate it, I will..."
"Forget it." I looked up at Patrick, "Stop investigating it. I don''t want to know the truth anymore. Let''s
forget what happened in the past."
When I heard Patrick''s words just now, I began to feel ill-ease in my heart.
Based on my impression, when Patrick saw Roger, he said, "With one from the underground world
and the other being engaged in fair business, we arepletely and distinctly different."
Patrick surely was the one that was engaged in fair business. While these people surely took a
different path from Patrick''s.
"What''s wrong? Are you worried about me?" Patrick, who had long guessed what I was thinking
about, pressed me against the wall.
As he lowered his head, his ck eyes had captivating charm inside.
"I''m worried." I knew that I had misunderstood Patrick, "I''m sorry. I made you cross the line."
The reason why Patrick did those things was that he promised me to investigate Seth''s case.
In the face of those people, he could only use this way.
Patrick curled up the corner of his lips and bent down to kiss my lips gently, "Don''t worry. I know
what I''m doing. I will only do so this time. It won''t happen again."
I was so bored while staying at home. Then I identally knew a design exhibition that was rted
to Archaic Architecture Sect''s design style on the Inte. So I nned to attend the exhibition
during the day.
This time, I put on heavy makeup,pletely covering the scars on my nose. Then I put on a mask
and went to the design exhibition.
I walked around the exhibition wall. As I was about to leave, I saw a man walking in.
This man, who was clearly dressed in a suit, wore a pair of sneakers on his feet instead.
At first, I was attracted by his outfit.
When I saw his face, I understood why he had dressed like this at once. As I was about to call him, I
heard a voice behind me, "Ryan!"
