Semua Bab Why the Crocodile Tears?: Bab 581 - Bab 590

"Hey! Wait!" Thinking Gregory was trying to take his own life, the man cried frantically, "Even if you want to die, pick another balcony to leap off of, not mine!"But Gregory ignored the man and threw open the window. Bracing an arm against the ledge, he pivoted and flew over the edge."Holy crap!" the man yelled, panic-stricken as he ran to the balcony to check on Gregory. However, there were no signs of anyone hitting the ground after free-falling from such a great height, and Gregory had completely vanished from sight."What the hell?" The man scratched the back of his head, looking baffled. "Was I dreaming just now?"…Next door, Anathea cupped her knee and froze in shock when she spotted the towering figure that had flipped over the balcony.Gregory stared at her, going as still as a deer in headlights. She wore nothing but a towel, a clear indication that she'd just gotten out of the shower. Had she and Theo wrapped things up already?An icy look passed over Gregory's usu

Adam had been delirious recently, sitting on his bed each day without uttering a word. Even if Anathea were to strike up a conversation with him, he'd respond to her in between intervals, often with "Yes", "Oh", and "Alright".Most of his responses were insignificant until the other day, when he'd spoken to Anathea in full, detailed sentences despite not remembering who she was. In other words, the elusive "Mr. Baxter" was an important link in the incident from years ago.Anathea had looked into it and discovered that Adam had, indeed, corresponded with a man named Roy Baxter at the time. Roy had been the CEO of a building material company until the project ended, after which someone else took over his role.As such, Roy must have run away out of guilt. He must know the truth about the incident!After getting her hands on Roy's current address, Anathea decided to drop by and visit him. However, he lived in a remote location, and packing her stuff for the trip took up more time than

Gregory's eyes were bloodshot, like they were lit with fire, ready to burn everything around him to ash.Theo took one look and knew something was wrong. Gregory had completely lost control.He'd seen this side of him before back in school. Even at 16, Gregory had taken down a group of towering thugs like it was nothing.But back then, Gregory had done it to protect Theo. This time, though, that fury was aimed straight at him.Theo had no chance of winning, and Gregory wasn't going to kill him, so things ended up like this."That's the fifth boxer he's gone up against." Theo looked at the sweat-soaked, badly bruised Gregory and said sharply, "He's trying to kill himself, choosing to torture himself with this nonstop sparring!""Then why didn't you stop him?" Louie asked as he arrived."Me?" Theo gestured to his face, still pressed against an ice pack. "Are you listening to yourself right now?"If he could have stopped Gregory, he wouldn't be sitting down here nursing a busted f

Adrian's mouth twitched, and he gave Louie a helpless shrug.Louie just looked dead inside. He was starting to wonder if he was still a neurosurgeon or had somehow turned into a babysitter."Fine! Do whatever the hell you want!" Louie threw up his hands, fed up.He pointed at Gregory and Theo. "If I ever rush over here again for something like this, I swear I'll be a damn loser!"He turned and stormed off. But on the way out, he smacked his hand on the corner of a table. The pain had him baring his teeth.Great. Now all four of them in this room couldn't even make up one set of functional limbs.Adrian just sighed and shook his head.Before leaving, Louie gave Gregory and Theo another stern warning—especially Gregory, who'd nearly pushed his body to the edge. If they pulled anything like this again, he didn't care if they dropped dead. He wasn't coming back.And with that, he walked out of the boxing gym without looking back.Outside, Giselle was leaning against the car with a

Giselle was a top-tier lawyer, well-known and respected. How could she…"What, you don't want to?" Louie shrugged. "If that's the case, I have nothing left to say. This conversation's over."With that, he yanked the door open, ready to get out.He'd thrown that condition out on purpose because he couldn't stand being around her for even one more second."Wait!"Giselle grabbed his wrist and gritted her teeth. "Fine. One week. That's it."Louie froze, doubt filling his eyes."But you better give it your all and do everything in your power to save Gabriel," Giselle said through clenched teeth. "If you back out, you're dead."Louie gulped.Wait a second. Wasn't he supposed to be the one making things difficult for her? How did it suddenly feel like he was the one being put on the spot?…The next day, Anathea packed her things early and made a stop at the hospital to say goodbye to Adam.He was slowly eating his breakfast when she walked in. The moment he saw her, he gave her
