"What is it?" Sullivan asked. He noticed John was giving him a signal that he couldn't say it in front of his wife. "I'll be back," Sullivan said to Erica. When he was about to leave she held him back. "Where are you going?" She asked with skepticism. "I'll be back," Sullivan said with an assuring smile. He gives her a soft kiss on her head and leaves with John. Erica knew something shady was going on and Sullivan was hiding it. But why? This was the question she asked herself as she lay down on the bed. With a deep sigh, she closes her eyes to a slumber. Sullivan made sure they were outside the hospital before he turned to John. He knew Erica was smart and she could follow them and eavesdrop on their conversation. "What is the situation?" Sullivan asked. "It's chaotic amongst the five great families," John said. "Oh," Sullivan smirked as he raised a brow to John. "Mrs Martin wanted revenge for her son but Mr Jab refused to give his son up," John said. "
Chapter 66Sullivan rushed further into the room so he could get a clear view.He glanced at the bed but it was empty.John quickly rushed to his side when Sullivan clenched his chest tightly."General," John called out to him.Sullivan could only hear John's faint voice as he held onto the side of the wall for support.His head was spinning and he was finding it extremely difficult to breathe.John gave Sullivan a gentle shake but Sullivan couldn't move he just kept panting heavily."Someone sends a doctor immediately," John yelled."General!" John called out to him again with hopes he would respond."I need a doctor, dammit. " John cursed."What's going on," Erica asked. scanning her eyes over the room.When she saw Sullivan in the state he was she hurried over to his side."John, what happened to him.""I.." John stuttered, unsure of what to say."Sullivan.." Erica's eyes widened as she paused when he hugged her tightly."What happened to the general, I came as fast as I could." Th

The doctor cleared his throat, reminding the couple that he was still present.He has a smile on his face as he runs more tests on Erica.Sullivan's hungry eyes glared at the doctor, waiting for this response."How is she?" Sullivan asked."Ah, yes, sorry about that," the doctor said with a chuckle, his eyes twinkling with amusement.When he realized he was taking up too much time."As I was saying, Erica's test results are all coming back normal. Her vitals are stable, and she's showing no signs of any serious illness or injury."Erica's heart leaped with joy as she heaved a sigh of relief.Now she was able to go home soon.Sullivan's eyes narrowed his face tense with anxiety. He was still not convinced by the doctor's words."What about her exhaustion? She's been pushing herself too hard, I know it."Erica playfully nudged at his arm as she chuckled."I haven't been doing anything that would make me feel exhausted." She said.Sullivan raised a brow toward his wife with dead eyes."I
Sullivan spent most of his time in the hospital taking care of his wife. Although he still kept keeping tabs on the five great families. "Good morning love." Sullivan greeted his wife with a smile. He kisses the side of her cheeks, placing her breakfast in front of her. "Oh God, I'm starving." Erica groaned as she searched through the plastic bag that Sullivan brought. "Where's John? I haven't seen him for some time now." Erica said not looking at her. "So you don't even care that I am here," Sullivan said with a pout, glaring at his wife. "I'm here but you are asking about John. So you care about him more than me?""I see you every day." Erica chuckled. She quickly kept a straight face while her husband's face was in a frown. "Babe are you being serious." She said, trying her best not to laugh. "Humph." Sullivan feigns annoyance. He crossed his arms then he turned his face up to the side in order not to look at Erica. It was amusing that the fierce dragon general was acti
Chapter 69"No, General," John replied, shaking his head. "She seems to have vanished into thin air. But I have a feeling she's still in the city, watching and waiting.""It's a wise decision for her to keep a low profile because she knows what you're capable of." He said."Keep searching. I need her found before she causes any more trouble." Sullivan's eyes narrowed,he has many reasons why he was searching for her.He needed answers and it seemed she was the only one who could provide these answers.He wanted to know why she betrayed him, a part of him could see her reluctance.If her reason were valid enough,maybe he could spare her life or end it.He was a man that never lef people unpunished for their crimes."Yes, General. I'll keep searching." John nodded. "I'm positive she is still in the city.""I believe you can handle this matter."Sullivan said .He turned to leave, then stopped and turned back to John after he remembered something. "And John?""Yes, General?""Keep this
As soon as the car door closed, the sound of gunfire echoed through the air. Erica's eyes widened in terror as she clung to Sullivan.This was not supposed to happen, Sullivan thought.John assured him that the road was secured but it seems that they must have slipped his eyes. "What's happening?" she screamed.Sullivan's face was set in a grim mask as he pulled her closer. "Don't worry, I've got you," he said, his voice calm and reassuring.He could tell she was frightened as the bullets threatened to break through the glass, but thankfully they were bulletproof.The car sped away, bullets whizzing past them. John's face was focused on the road, his eyes darting back and forth as he navigated through the traffic.The General was counting on him to save them from this situation and he was not going to let him down."John, get us out of here!" Sullivan yelled."I'm trying, General!" John replied, his voice tense.His heart was beating fast.This was not the first time they had been
"Let me take your minds off those things." He gave a sly grin. Erica folded her hands and kept staring strangely at her husband. She wondered what kind of dirty thoughts were already running through his brain."You can be such a perv. You know that right." "Me?" Sullivan said, actually as if he was deeply offended. He had a hand over his chest giving a cute pout."This is exactly why I don't help people," Sullivan remarked."I was just trying to help you relax but you're already calling me a perv."Erica frowned, and then she wrinkled her eyes at her husband.Sullivan started to get uncomfortable with her intense gaze."What? Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked with confusion.Erica doesn't answer him and she maintains her frown.Sullivan shrugged uncomfortably in the bed. At this moment he was thinking of running away before his wife entered one of her episodes."Babe, what is it?" Sullivan asked."Wow, so you help other people to calm down." Erica accused, narrowing
