章節 26: Second chance but not the third

By the way, my acting skill has improved a little, isn't it?? Is it the ability I gained during this period? Maybe or maybe not.

"Are you feeling guilty grandpa?"

"What if I am or not. Nothing changes, the biological grandchild has to be my adoptive one. I want everyone to accept you but they won't. They only recognize your big brother as your parent's child. I am sorry for you but I don't regret what I did. Everything is past now."

"What about me ?"

Eva's grandpa became quiet and John answered me.

"We had no choice but to abandon you, my daughter. As dad was head of the family, he had to make a choice. They wanted either you or your brother. As your brother was his only grandson we couldn't lose him."

"Oh." 'Then that man is my …no-no, Eva's father and she is the biological child but for the world, she was said to be adopted.'

"Elva my daughter, forget whatever happened before. I can give you whatever you want. What do you want, money, career, house, or luxury? Anything you ask will be given."

'Maybe Eva wanted love, a family. They won't give her that.' I said in my mind.

"And my dear biological father and grandpa if I don't wish to donate my kidney then—"

"You won't ever return back to the family. I know you are a filial child but there will never be a place for you."

"One last question is my kidney or I am more important to both of you."

"Kidn—" both had replied together but stopped knowing what they were saying. "You are also important.."

Hahhh….. these men can't even hide their intention. I got what I wanted to know so I need to go back.

But before that let's do something interesting...

Before leaving I knocked them both out and injected them with some medicine I always carry. They won't be able to remember what has happened today. I can't take the risk of words being spread of Eva being alive. I spread some allergic medicine on their body.

And the guard I can't risk either too.

If I was Eva I would like to give them slow but painful poison. But I can't judge them as being an outsider, only Eva could. So leave them for her. At least I could help her to eliminate those. I hate people who pretend to be good in the front but backstab when not being careful.

I walked out of the private clinic and went to the restaurant which Eva previously went to. By the time I was out of the hospital I had taken my mask off.

Ordering the food to eat I sat on the corner and opened my phone, hacking the clinic's CCTV records I erased every evidence of my being there. It could be a problem if someone saw me as Eva after the disappearance of Wega.

It was still early to return so I went to the beach. The ocean makes my mind clear and helps to concentrate on my problem.

Sometimes the environment you grows develops how you are and sometimes the thought process. Can Eva's though be evil or her actions are due to her circumstances? I sympathize with her as I can see a small portion of me in her. Aren't I in search of family love and care too? Maybe she is trying to survive in this world in her own ways. 'Can I make a fair judgement on her?' my mind is messed up.

I can't forgive her for what happened to Rit. But should I give her a chance? Everyone deserves a second chance but not a third. I should know about her before I decide. I can kill her anytime I want. Maybe I can use her to my advantage...

She is just a small fry but I want to catch a big fish. Who knows I may get some information about my incident on Horn Mountain on the way of search or something more.

Returning back to the house it was already dark. The smell of the food entered my nostrils before I could enter the house. 'Oh! Ray, you are my subordinate, not a cook.' But who says no to the food?

After lunch I checked Del. Everything was fine with him but still unconscious. Maybe he himself didn't want to wake up.

Today I went to check on Eva. Should I wake her first? No, I need to wait for Del as he also has a right to decide. Del was the vice leader of Wega and Eva was an accomplice in certain incidents...

If I can't wake her I could do something different----

*****

Next morning,

The whole night I was awake, now I feel a little tired and sleepy. I was looking at the masterpiece I created on the bed.

If you could see it you would wonder who the girl is? Of course, she is still Eva with a different face. I changed her facial structure. I had to concentrate on the treatment the whole night as a result the beauty was carved.

I can't risk her exposing myself and the Wega incident. Someone from her group could be in search of her- Just taking precautions.

To sleep after being tired is good. I put a sign of 'Do not disturb ' on the door and slept the whole day. I wake up from the continuous knocking on the door.

Opening the door lazily, "Are you going to break my door, Ray?"

"Sorry B. It's just I am confused. Why is there a different girl in the basement and where is the previous one?"

"The previous one left the house and she is my new friend who wants to live here."

"Whatever you say B." How can he believe whatever I say? But it may be for his own good.

"Oh yeah, Ray!! Is Nick in contact with you. Tell him not to tell anyone that he knows me when he is in the capital. Someone could make his life difficult otherwise."

"Okay, I will convey."

As I rested during the day I was lazily tossed in the bed while reading some financial data. I didn't understand it much so I called an unknown number. Someone picked up the call on the first ring. So eager to talk to me...hmm...

"Hey B. What's up girl. I know you won't call me so I had no choice but to send those data. I was waiting for your call for an hour. Where have you been? You didn't lose your arms or legs, did you?"

"Slow down Rabbit. I can't catch you. No need to explain the data but tell me if I am in profit or not."

"Hey B. Do you doubt my talent? If I can't help to earn who will. As a result, I took a lot of bonuses from your profit portion."

"No problem. Can I withdraw some money?"

"No, you can't. You need to be here to sign your legal acquisition documents for that."

"Then leave it. Maybe you can send some from your private money."

"Don't try to rob me B . Tell me what's going on with you?"

" Everything's fine. Rabbit, keep leaping, enjoy your new life and be careful around."

"Are they still following me?" she turned serious.

"Someone certainly is."

"He won't find me ever till I want to be found. So don't worry. Stay alive girl."

The sound of calls disconnected could be heard. You will know in the future who she (Rabbit) is. But for now, she is the one who manages my tini-tiny economy.

'Says I am in profit but I am poor now too. Should I be happy or sad?'

Trying to close my eyes, I heard a small whisper in the middle of the dark night saying "No…."

However small it was I could hear. I went to check the condition of the patient.

Eyes tightly shut, frown on his forehead, grinding his teeth, the whole body was drenched in sweat, and his fists were clenched tightly. Someone seems to have nightmares. I helped to massage his forehead and played a relaxing music in the room.

I am sure he will wake up tomorrow but his condition may not be the best. Hope he will be all good...
