Cordy quietly ate her bowl of oatmeal without feeling its taste.At the same time, Bob helped John bandage that gruesome swelling on the back of his hand. It hurt Bob to look at it, but he had no words of comfort. He also remembered Richard, and the thought of something terrible happening to a little boy like Richard…No, he could not bear to let himself think that.And it would naturally be worse for his biological parents.Bob simply assured himself that the boy was born lucky and would be free from trouble.After bandaging John, Bob offered, "Want to step out for a smoke?"John shook his head, but Bob tried to reason with him. "Keeping yourself tense like this won't work. Just relax—one cigarette won't cost you that much time."Bob certainly could not bear John hurting himself like this. If there was a clue in the video, someone as outstanding as John would have found it already. It would not take him that long.Right now, Bob was just trying to get John preoccupied or h

"John, that’s just not your style. Why do you lose control so fast?" Jessica mocked him. "I thought you would always remain indifferent in front of me, but you would seem agitated in front of me too." "What do you want?" John gritted his teeth. "I don't know what I want either. What do you think I want since I've lost everything now?" Jessica asked in answer before she laughed at herself. "Should I feel lucky that I beat you to it and came to North City with a plan before you plan to ruin my family? If not, my brother and I would have been locked up in prison by now. After all, all your evidence points to me." "Yes, I was the one who brought this to you, and I ruined your family. Just deal with me. Tell me where you are now, and I'll go there right away. You can do whatever you want to me!" John could not hide his wrath at all. "But I don't want to see you now. John, let's play a game," Jessica suggested wickedly. John's expression changed drastically. He knew very well wha

"We can put aside all the so-called blind spots in the video to look for the place that Jessica might have gone to. We've spent too much time here. What I mean to say is that she didn't dare to cause a scene, so it means that she didn't have enough time or a lot of power either. It means that she couldn't get the map of the so-called blind spots of the roads in North City. "Since she couldn't get hold of such a thing, she couldn't be sure that she could avoid all the blind spots." While pointing at her map, Cordy added, "This is what I found from the surveillance video. This is the route from where Jessica's car was last parked to Dicky's school. I marked all the blind spots. It doesn't look like there are a lot of blind spots, but I almost affirm that she wouldn't take a risk given her intelligence and scheming." Cordy was trying to prove her point. "I wouldn't have taken a risk if it were me," Sam echoed her words. "It also means that we all had been fooled by Jessica. She mi

Cordy leaned against John's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. However, she could not fall asleep at all. Even though she was very weak and sleepy now, she could not doze off. When she closed her eyes, all she saw was a bloody scene. It was all about the scene where Richard was in Jessica's hand. He was so young and helpless. "John," Cordy spoke up. She wanted to break the silence. She would be lost in wild thoughts if it was quiet and think about a lot of bad things. "Hmm." "Do you hate me?" Cordy suddenly questioned him. John was stunned briefly before he slowly shook his head. "No, I've never hated you." "Don't you ever blame me because I pushed you away again and again?" "No, I don't," John answered firmly. "All I thought about was how to pull you back to me every time you pushed me away. I didn't have the time to hate you." Bitterness overwhelmed her. How could he be so loyal? "Cordy, have I never told you why I love you so much?" John lowered

The car reached its destination and stopped 600 feet from a deserted and old factory in the industrial zone. They did not dare to be so close for fear of alerting their enemies, but they were not too careful either. After all, Jessica wanted them to come, so she purposely lured them there. It was now midnight, with an hour left before the time Jessica had set. John got out of the car, and Cordy followed suit. He turned around and glanced at her quietly. He then brought two bodyguards with him to walk toward that deserted factory. He had just taken a few steps when Cordy hugged him from behind out of the blue. John's heart skipped a beat. "Cordy?" His voice was low and slightly hoarse. "John, I've never told you that I love you, have I?" Cordy asked him. Burying her face on his back, she asked firmly. John swallowed slightly and answered lightly, "I know." He could feel it. "I love you." However, Cordy still confessed her love for him loudly. John smiled. He th
