The sun had gone, leaving the night sky with the moon on duty. The breeze blew lightly, creating a ridiculously cold sensation. In a place at the back of the building with a few trees standing tall, a man sat leaning against the wall with a blank look, staring ahead at the darkness and loneliness.Still dressed in the same clothes and the same place, Felix's condition looked chaotic. There were two bruises on his handsome, wrinkled face. But that didn't make him rush over to get them treated.Bay, the man, had been taken to the police station by Inspector Theron and Investigator Orion. With some evidence at hand, Bay would soon go on trial. Felix had told Inspector Theron to punish the man severely in accordance with all the crimes Bay had committed, including the identity fraud eight months ago.Felix had sympathized with the man because he had been Mr. Zay's 'son' for some time, but this time, he no longer cared about Bay's life and future. All sympathy was gone, along with the crim
The sound of sobbing filled a white room with a strong smell of medicine.The spacious room with a set of sofas, a dispenser, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, several small ornamental plants, and a large bed with amenities was only filled by two people of different genders.The girl was sitting on a chair next to the bed with her face hidden in the folds of her hands. The sound of her crying sounded suffocating, making it the only sound there. As for the man, he was lying weakly with his eyes closed tightly.They were Clarita and Felix.When the two Orion Investigator messengers brought Felix to the hospital where Mr. Zay was being treated, they met Clarita, who was about to go home because her phone calls to Felix and Chloe were not being answered. Clarita was worried that something might happen to them.And it turns out that her thoughts were right. Clarita burst into hysterical tears as she embraced Felix's unconscious body with blood flowing from his arm.Secretary Jorell, who
"Young Master." Secretary Jorell entered Felix's hospital room with slow, hesitant steps. His face, which was trying to be as casual as possible, looked very stiff, making it unsightly. Felix, who was staring at him, even frowned faintly. "How are you?"Felix, who was still looking at him intently, nodded slowly. "As you can see."Secretary Jorell also nodded and smacked his lips, suddenly feeling awkward because he didn't know what to say."Sit down!" ordered Felix with a deepening frown. He didn't usually behave like this. Was there something wrong?Suddenly, Felix thought of his father. He had a bad feeling, and he straightened up with a strained look.However, before Felix could ask a question, Secretary Jorell was already ahead of him. "How is the case progressing?"Felix's face changed drastically. His gaze went blank again as the memory of the previous incident entered his head. "It's awaiting trial.""So, is it over?" Secretary Jorell unconsciously became so enthusiastic that
Felix stood at one side of the bed, staring at Clarita, who lay with a pale face. Seeing her weakened condition like this made Felix's heart ache even more.The doctor's words that his sister was experiencing severe stress that could make her mentally unstable kept ringing in his mind."I'm sorry," Felix whispered sadly.He had never felt this weak. All his life, he had always stood tall without fear of anything. Even when Arista betrayed him, although it left him traumatized, it didn't necessarily make him frantic or frustrated.Looking back, he quickly forgot, as if he felt no emotional turmoil. The only thing he thought about the betrayal was disgust.But now, seeing his family being hurt one by one and falling because of it, Felix felt helpless. Guilt and regret filled his heart."I'm sorry, Clarita. Everything that happened to you is because of me. I caused it. I'm sorry," Felix whispered, biting his lower lip. His clenched hand moved to touch Clarita's, but he held it back."Aft
Before Felix could turn around, Caitlin had already broken free from Chloe's grasp and ran so fast that she crashed into Felix's feet. "Brother!" Her cries broke out, sounding so loud.The anxiety and fear Felix felt grew as he turned around and crouched down, hugging Cailtin's trembling body and holding her. No words came out of his mouth. Only his hand movements tried to calm his sister. Now and then, he looked out the window, making sure that his father was okay.Chloe, who had arrived in front of Felix, immediately wiped her tears even though her efforts were in vain. Because, like a stream of water flowing from a mountain, her tears continued to fall without stopping."Are you okay?" Chloe asked in a husky voice.Felix immediately looked at her. Seeing her crying like that made him think that she had heard the news about him being injured. Not wanting his sister to be even more upset when she found out about Dad's condition and ended up like Clarita, Felix hurried to get them awa
At the police station, Secretary Jorell, along with Attorney Bo, confronted Inspector Theron. They handed over the written agreement signed by Mr. Zay and Bay."So they reached an agreement, and the other party broke it?" Inspector Theron shook his head slowly after reading and seeing Bay's signature. This man was too blinded by an obscure grudge to plunge him into a pit of misery.Lawyer Bo nodded firmly. "We hereby wish to charge the perpetrator with multiple articles. Regarding identity fraud, we also want to raise it and make it another crime. As for the fines to be paid and the medical expenses that the victim is undergoing, we will still ask for them as written regardless of how the perpetrator is currently doing."Inspector Theron involuntarily held his breath when he heard this. Bay's history... was really over."With the amount of evidence that has been gathered, we want the trial to start within this week!" Lawyer Bo's decision sounded so firm."We will work on it as soon as
Secretary Jorell drove his car at high speed while trying to dial Felix's number. But since leaving the police station until now, the call had gone unanswered. Not wanting to waste any time, he immediately switched to Clarita's number, but he got the same result."Ah, crap!" cursed Secretary Jorell, feeling both annoyed and anxious.Finally, he chose to focus on driving because he thought Clarita might still be unconscious, while Felix kept her company until he forgot his cell phone. As for Chloe, the girl must be at home and unaware of the latest situation, so it seemed a waste to contact her.After a long journey with annoyance hanging over it due to various disturbances, the car driven by Secretary Jorell finally arrived at the hospital parking lot.Without waiting for long, he immediately ran inside in a hurry and pressed the elevator button according to the floor of the room occupied by his superior."What took you so long?" Secretary Jorell stared impatiently at the elevator doo
"Nothing? Do you really mean it? Did you see it well that Young Master Felix didn't come home? What about the back door? Maybe he entered through that door." Panicking after hearing the security guard's answer, Secretary Jorell asked several questions in rapid succession.He was too scared to think about where the man had gone. Especially since he had previously said, he was going to follow him to the police station.Suddenly, Secretary Jorell came to his senses, and he looked at the confused security guard intently. "So, Young Master Felix really didn't come home?""Yes. Secretary Jorell, I can't possibly be lying to you. I know you came here because of something urgent. Then, what did I do it for?" The security guard looked earnest.Surprisingly, Secretary Jorell nodded and didn't press anymore. He quickly closed the car window and sped away.After a while, the car stopped in front of the police station.Secretary Jorell opened the door hurriedly and then took a small run into the b
