They had been married for two years and he had always treated her coldly.She was furious. "Hunter Shield! Why are you always afraid to look me in the face! Is it because you are afraid that you'll see that the person you are with is me and not my younger sister?""You want me to look at you? I will as long as you think you can take it!"
View MoreWitnessing the flies crowding around Eve's body, Hunter indifferently commanded his men to scrub off the blood stains before heading back towards An City.Upon reaching home, Hunter took a shower before going to bed with Jenna, who had been refusing to fall asleep under the helpers' care. Apprehension had previously stopped Jenna from sleeping, but Hunter's presence finally allowed weariness to lull her to sleep and her breathing evened out.At dawn:Hunter was not awakened by Jenna stirring and he opened his eyes while patting the space beside him. It was empty. He jumped up as uneasiness overwhelmed him.Jenna was not in the room and after the recent traumatic troubles with Eve, while the chances of it happening again were negligible, his hair was standing on end. "Jenna?"It was possible that Jenna was simply playing hide and seek with him because it was common for children to indulge in childish games they believed to be mature.In that instant, Hunter heard the sounds of a c
Hunter Shield ground the cigarette butt he had thrown to the floor with his foot. "Ha, you must have presumed a dumb and illiterate person would not endanger you? The servant who lost her ability to speak due to your mother, Ruby Worth's, poisoning, learned how to read and write, spilling all the details of you and your mother's outrageous actions..."Eve Young pleaded despairingly, "Hunter! Let bygones be bygones! I seek your forgiveness! Considering I've loved you for so many years!"Eve registered that her crime had been exposed and she lost her bearings. There was no way to rectify the situation other than begging for forgiveness.Hunter ordered his men to haul back Eve up onto the yacht. Eve assumed he was going to release her but he glanced at her and stated, "Jenna's young, barely older than two years old, but you cut her. Since you're about twenty times as old as her, I'll cut you twenty times. That's not too bad a deal."He inclined his head while speaking and his bodyguar
After wrapping Jenna in a towel and carrying her out of the bathroom, Hunter Shield browsed for clothes with which to dress Jenna. He had instructed the doctors to maintain Emlyn Young's dosage of sedatives because the situation would be dire if Emlyn were to awaken now.The doctor exited Emlyn's room and headed for Jenna's room to apply medicine on her wounds. In order to distract herself, Jenna buried her head in Hunter's embrace and asked, "Daddy, I miss Mommy, when will Mommy recover?""Mommy is going to be alright soon. Once Jenna's bruises clear up, Mommy's illness will be gone too.""Then I can just spread some flour on myself and my skin will be white again..."The doctor pitied the child and rebuked, "Mr. Shield, the lacerations and contusions on Young Miss will probably not heal for another week because the area of damage is sizeable. The culprit should be punished accordingly! This is barbaric!"Hunter simply remarked, "How's Emlyn's condition? Can she wait till Jenna i
"Jenna, finish your milk and I'll take you to eat some tasty food, alright?"Jenna was still sniveling as she sucked on the nipple of the bottle. After taking two sips, she pulled the bottle out and gazed at Hunter Shield with residual milk at the corners of her mouth as she whimpered, "Dad, Daddy, when, when the monster caught, caught me, I hoped for Daddy, Daddy to turn... into Superman and come save me..."His eyes were swollen from constantly holding back his tears. "Jenna, I'll take good care of you from now on and nobody will dare to harm you. I'll destroy any monster who attempts to hurt you again."The doctor was appalled and tears welled up in his eyes as he examined Jenna. "This atrocious criminal! How could one bear to hurt a child to such an extent!"Hunter gritted his teeth as droplets of grief threatened to surge from his eyes. Revulsion and loathing sat in his heart as he kept silent, unwilling to let his shaky voice betray his emotions.Jenna lifted her uninjured h
"I want Emlyn Young dead!" The plausibility that Emlyn was still alive had never crossed Eve Young's mind and she had only grudgingly consented to be Emlyn's replacement with the presumption that Emlyn was dead. However, to her horror, Emlyn was still alive and her world had come crashing down as if she had failed her life mission.Jenna fixated her eyes on Hunter Shield and extended her arms as she pouted dismally, too frightened to raise her voice. "Daddy, hug me. Everywhere hurts and I'm hungry..."Hunter's suppressed emotions were on the verge of spilling over and his eyes reddened. Jenna obviously regarded him as a pillar of support, endearingly calling him 'Daddy', but he had failed her in her most urgent moment of need."Jenna, be a good girl and stay put. I'll take you to grab a bite to eat soon."Jenna reluctantly dropped her hands to hug herself as she sulked and sullenly agreed, "I won't move, I'll wait here for Daddy."Eve was blinded by hatred at the intimacy between
Jenna spun and attempted to flee but Eve Young seized her leg to hamper her. The disturbing sight depicted a child, who lacked the ability to walk, fumbling about on the coarse cement floor while her head became drenched in sweat and streaks of blood stained her hand as she scratched at the floor."You want to escape? Your d*mn mother had the tendency to bolt as well, running all over the world. To think you inherited this abhorrent trait as well." Eve discarded the knife in her hands and gritted her teeth as she smacked Jenna's rear time and time again. Jenna could only scream for her mother as great sobs escaped her while she remained locked in Eve's grasp.Jenna's body was marked with patches of purple and green bruises while her face was coated with layers of dust. Her face was smeared with dirty streaks of blood, sweat, and tears.Jenna could not produce any more sounds and the cries that escaped her throat were raspy as she sat obediently on the floor and glanced longingly at
Hunter grasped the insinuation of Emlyn losing her will to live and his chest tightened in dread. He bounded up the steps and his breathing was heavy as the sparks of fury in his eyes incinerated all kind intentions of wanting to do good for Emlyn and their child.Just as Sean had mentioned, Jenna was Emlyn's only hope, without Jenna, Emlyn would not survive either...Hunter set Emlyn down and wrapped her snugly in the blanket before exiting the room. The hostility that radiated off him instilled fear but his bodyguard braved the trepidation and trailed after him. Hunter declared coldly, "If you can't find Young Miss, all who were mistaken will not be spared!"Eve hid herself and Jenna in a deserted warehouse in the suburbs. Meanwhile, Jenna caressed Eve's cheeks repeatedly and planted a kiss on Eve's cheeks before releasing a series of giggles.Eve knew her voice was distinguishable from Emlyn's so she had kept her mouth shut to not alert the child.She was momentarily stunned by
Emlyn Young crawled into every nook and cranny that could possibly hide a child while simultaneously calling Jenna's name piteously. "Jenna, stop playing hide and seek with me, did I punish you unreasonably before? You don't want to see me anymore? I'll apologize to you because I lost all my memories. Next time you should just play with Daddy and ignore me, alright? Jenna!"Emlyn's distressed state tugged violently at Hunter Shield's heartstrings.She firmly believed that she had hurt Jenna, oblivious to the truth of the matter where Hunter was the real culprit.If he had not lost all moral reasoning and forced Eve Young to undergo plastic surgery, the situation would not have gotten out of hand.Hunter grabbed Emlyn's shoulder and gently guided her away from the window while he said reassuringly, "Emlyn, I've made a police report and commanded my men to hunt for her, so stop blaming yourself because you're not to be held accountable."The tenacity she had once used to confront hi
