Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-52 : Seagulls!
Dottie's sudden arrival made Jack realize what he was just about to say, and he scolded himself thoroughly for almost letting his guard down.This was not the time to forget about the importance of maintaining distance and independence in his relationships. He could not afford to create false expectations in someone's mind, or allow anyone to rely on him too heavily.There were no romantic thoughts clouding his mind, but still, he wanted to be as cautious as possible to not encourage any kind of dynamic where the other person would take his presence for granted, or even assume that he would be around, whenever they needed him. Turning his attention to Amy, he expected to find her in a slightly annoyed mood towards Dottie for her interruption. But to his surprise, Amy had already shifted her focus to Dottie, stepping around him. Right now, she was kneeling beside her and engaging her in conversation, flipping through the book herself;"Did you really like this book, Dottie?"The gi
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-53 : ER Visit
With a groan, Amy turned over to her bedside table, fishing for her phone and tapping the screen to check the time.12:22 AM.It was just past midnight, and Amy's heart raced as she heard the faint cries from the neighboring room, which had woken her up in the first place. It took a few moments for her to remember that they were at a hotel in Miami, and the room next to her was where the children were. Feeling her panic rising, she sat up and quickly grabbed her hair tie and glasses from the table. As she made her way to the door, she caught a glimpse of herself in the wardrobe mirror in the dim light, dressed in her pajamas. For a moment, she hesitated, her own reflection mirroring her uncertainty. But the sound of the cries pulled her back to reality, her concern overriding any self- consciousness.Without another thought, Amy dashed out of her room and down the hall towards Jack's room. But as soon as she reached Jack's door, her hand hovered with some uncertainty, hesitating
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-54: Boundaries?
As Jack sat beside Amy in the hospital waiting room, his mind was consumed by a loud uproar of emotions and thoughts.He could not shake off the feeling of discomfort that had been gnawing at him for the past few days. And this discomfort came with a nagging sense that boundaries needed to be established and reinforced, and fast.Whenever he thought about it, Jack was very, very clear in his mind: he was not supposed to make anyone a part of his world. He had built walls around himself, determined to keep his personal and professional lives separate. But whenever it came to the reality of the situation, he couldn't ignore the fact that the line had blurred!And if this issue was not addressed as soon as possible, then things might end up worsening from there. In any case, why did the line tend to get so blurry between his carefully constructed boundaries and the messy reality of human relationships? Jack had hoped to maintain a professional relationship with Amy. He had hired her t
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-55 : Mystery Caller
After receiving this confirmation, the nurse wasted no time in delivering the news to Jack, her tone urgent yet reassuring. "The test reports are in, and we have concluded that your daughter has fainted due to the heat and dehydration," she explained swiftly. "I have noted down some medicines for you. Please get them as soon as possible."Relief flooded through Jack as he listened to the nurse's words, a weight lifting from his shoulders. "Of course," he replied gratefully, his voice tinged with gratitude. "When can she be discharged?"The nurse glanced at her notes before responding; "Our team will be checking her vitals every two hours, but judging by the current status, she should be discharged by tomorrow morning. And yes, I am assuming that you are here on vacation?"Jack nodded without saying anything, and the nurse continued,"Then, Mr. Turner, please take care to avoid taking the child outside during the afternoon. You can continue your sightseeing activities in the evening
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-56 : A sudden shift
Dominic's heart pounded in his chest as he struggled to understand the situation unfolding before him before he was even fully awake. The mysterious man's words hung heavy in the air, as he stammered out a reply, his voice trembling with apprehension. "Yes… yes, I am listening. Um, what exactly are you trying to say?"The voice on the other end remained cool and composed, unfazed by Dominic's obvious unease as it delivered its ominous message."I don't know what kind of ruckus you all have caused, which ended in the death of Wendell," the caller remarked, the words cutting through the silence like a knife. "But I also know that the man had a lot of enemies, so it is not really a point of contention for us."Dominic's mind raced with confusion and fear as he struggled to measure the depth of the caller's words. He could feel the weight of responsibility bearing down on him like a cloak, threatening to suffocate him. "Me?" Dominic asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "You want

Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City How dare she!
The sharp words that Jack had just thrown out of his mouth were something he himself had never imagined saying to someone. Moreover, it was not just any random person whom he had said these words to, but it was Rebecca. It was the only thing that he had never imagined himself doing, while also being the only truth that he really did not want to deny, at the same time.On the other hand, Rebecca was completely unable to digest everything that was happening with her. She almost could not believe that it was the same guy who had never even raised his voice at her, saying all this with such a distant tone, as if she was standing way below her level. Her eyes widened in surprise and anger, but before she could respond, Jack cut her off again. "You must be wondering how I have suddenly become so kind to you, isn't it?Because after what you have done to me, I should throw you in front of hungry lions, or should get you a life sentence or something similar to this!
