Chapter 18: Not Afraid Of Dying
"What are the bunch of you doing? Bring me the first aid box.Now!"
"Yes, Mr.Ronin."
"Kane, you're...finally here.Should...I be t-thankful that you...you still have a shred of humanity i-in you? Hearing...that I'm dying, you...came?"
After having to suffer for almost ten grueling hours, Amora turned her head slowly towards the man and glanced at him with her puffy eyes.
She had cried so much that there were no tears left.
Kane was infuriated.
"Are you crazy? Just because I told my dad you're alive doesn't mean I'm afraid of you dying!"
"Really?" She gave him a miserable smile.
That sounded right.
How could a person like him care whether she lived or died? He even said it himself that it wouldn't make any difference to him if she was dead.
Amora closed her eyes slowly and replied, "If that's the case, can you give me back my son?"
"What did you say? Give him back to you?"
"Yes, Kane.You...can hate me...despise me, or even...wish death upon me right now, but can't you give Little lan a chance to live seeing that he is your own flesh and blood? He's innocent.Are you really that heartless?"
She opened her bloodshot eyes and glared at him, like a trapped beast that had been driven mad.
Kane's brows furrowed even more.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by giving him a chance to live? He’s my son, haven't I been doing that?"
"Then why did you let that b*tch care for him? Do you know what she did? She twisted lan's fingers even though he's still so young, and she even pinched him.He is only five years old, Kane.I gave birth to him; he is very much valuable to me.If you really don't want him anymore, I beg you to return him to me.I will raise him well out of your family's sight.Is that alright? Kane!"
Amora's entire body trembled.
Despite being utterly exhausted, she peeled herself off the ground and explained the situation to him while gasping for breath.
However, instead of believing her words, Kane pushed her away as his chiseled face filled with disgust and hatred.
"Amora, what do you want? Do you think can return to the Ronin if you chased Hallie away? Is your goal to be Mrs.Ronin again? Let me tell you, you can stop dreaming about it!"
"Chase Hallie away?"
"Isn't that the truth? You're deliberately accusing her of abusing lan, and now you want me to return him to you by slitting your own wrist.Amora, it's a good trick up your sleeves.Unfortunately, I don't buy it."
That man stared at her as if he couldn't stand another sight of her.
At that moment, Amora realized Hallie played an extremely important role in his world.
On the other hand, Amora's existence meant nothing to him! He sees my suicide as a trick! Amora leaped up from the ground instantaneously.
Before Kane could react, she held an object and stabbed towards her own body!find out what was going on.
However, it was a tad too late.
Just when she was stepping out, she saw two bodyguards standing at the entrance.
"Ms.Green, Mr.Ronin wants to see you." NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Her limbs went numb, and she almost lost her balance while standing at the cabin's entrance.
Her worst nightmare was finally turning into reality.
Hallie was escorted downstairs.
She had been living the luxurious life as the lady of the Ronin family for five years.
That was her first time being summoned by Kane in such an undignified manner.
Waves of cold wind blew along the surface of the ocean.
The harshness from the chilly wind felt like tiny blades, accompanied by hints of saltiness from the seawater.
With the wind scraping along the cabin windows, screeching sounds sent shivers down to one's spine.
Upon arriving at the main cabin, Hallie caught a glimpse of the man who was sitting at the edge of the bed.
At the same time, he was carefully observing the tiny hands of the child, who was fast asleep under the covers.
The fingers seemed so tiny, even his fingernails were not fully developed yet.
"Se...Kane..."
Hallie uttered after seeing him.
Chills ran through her body as she was panicking.
She wasn't able to move closer because she had lost sensation in her legs.
Kane ignored her.
After examining his son's tiny hands, he covered him with the blanket and tucked him nicely underneath to keep him warm and cozy.
Hallie stammered, "Kane, I..."
"I'll only ask you once.Did you hit him?"
With his head lowered down, Kane finally uttered.
Anyone could sense a murderous aura just by looking at his side profile.
It was exactly the same as the tumbling storm that was happening on the outside! Hallie couldn't hold it in anymore.
Her legs wobbled, then she dropped to her knees.
"I'm sorry, Kane, I...I can be too hasty sometimes.I'm really...I really didn't mean to..."
"So, are you admitting it was your fault? Hallie, who gave you permission? Even I can't imagine laying a finger on my son.Who are you to mistreat him? Where did you find such courage?"
