Chapter 50 - 50: Worried Uncle
The president stared at Evan"s dazed face, the man was staring at the white wall, eyebrows swayed as if he"s staring at something, he couldn"t comprehend but there"s nothing in the wall.
"This woman, did she ask you to kill me?"
Evan blinked and turned to the President, "Yes, and I want to know why," he replied.
"Well, she might be one of the women I"ve been within the past and wants revenge," The president guessed.
"No, impossible," Evan shook his head.
"How can you say that?"
"Because it doesn"t make sense," Evan narrowed eyes staring at the wall turned to the President.
"As of now, all I know is you, Senator Abe and Villa withdrew huge money thirteen years ago. And a doctor named Roman Lee appeared and invested the same money in our bank."
"What"s the connection of the money to the woman who wants me dead. I don"t understand."
Evan"s expression closed up, falling deep with his thought (I also want to know that, she wants the president dead and later tortured the two senators, the only connection I found in those three people are the money they withdraw and the same money went back to your bank under the name of Roman Lee.)
Evan gulped, a bad feeling rose in his chest, (Will she go after Roman Lee next? How could she torture people with a smile?)
"Mr. Lim.o.a.n, tell me," Evan got up, went closer to the President and picked up the extra pillow on the bed.
"Did you give the money you withdrew to Roman Lee?"
"I told you I didn"t," the president said.
Evan smirked a bitter smile and without warning, he pinned the pillow on the president"s face.
He bent down, moved closer to the president"s ear, "Look, tell me the truth, someone is out there waiting to kill you. You don"t know when she will strike but I do so you better tell me the truth because right now, I am the only person who can save you and your family," saying that, he withdrew the pillow, letting the president breath.
Limuel gasped for air, eyes widening with shock.
"I gave the money to Roman Lee to supply his laboratory, but it was a sham!" the president cough, lightly caressing his chest.
"Laboratory for what?"
After filling his lungs with air, the president spoke, "People, he experimented with people that have a rare kind of disease."
Evan"s hands balled until fists, everything now makes sense to him, the scars on Daniella"s body, and the thirst she had for revenge.
Rare disease? Evan"s snapped his brows, (did they lock her up because of her eyes?)
He got up, now that he got his answer, there"s no reason for him to stay.
Without saying goodbye, he left the room, in the hallway, he met the military General Arnold Bing which happened to be his friend.
It was General Bing who removed the people guarding the president, and it was by Evan"s request.
Evan smiled, for the first time since he arrived in the hospital, " How are you Bing?" he asked, extending a hand to greet him.
"I am good Su, I heard from my wife that you are having some hallucination," Bing laughed, accepting Evan"s hand and later patted his shoulder.
Evan shrugged both shoulders, "yeah, I just dropped by to her clinic to say hi."
Bring rose an eyebrow, "Evan, my wife is a psychologist, you don"t drop by and starts nagging about your hallucinations."
Evan withdrew his hand, and started walking towards the elevator with Bing tailing him, " Did she say anything about it? She said she will try to research it."
Evan indeed visited Bing"s wife shortly after he realized that the images he saw every time he kisses Daniella were real, that it was not his imagination.
"She"s not sure but, she read a book from a neurologist named Arthur Schmidt, his book might explain what"s happening to you."
The door of the elevator opened, the two men walked in while Mark stayed in the hallway.
(Schmidt) Evan"s eyes narrowed, he felt as if he had heard it somewhere.
"My wife will fly to New York to meet him next week. I tried to stop her but, she said you requested it so," Bing smiled, "You owe me one Su, we were supposed to spend our wedding anniversary next week in the Maldives," saying that, Bing pumped a fist on Evan"s arm.
"Shut up Bing, if you remember, I was Amy"s first choice," Evan chuckled
"Well, she married me so I guess I am the winner," saying that, Bing pushed Evan out of the elevator after it opened.
Evan waved a hand to Bing, as he turned to leave, his phone rang and the number of Selena"s princ.i.p.al flashed on the screen.
He walked back to his car and answered the call.
"Evan Su," he said coldly.
"Mr. Su, could you please come to my office? Your niece was involved in the fight and she"s in my office with Ms. Chen."
"Is she alright?" Evan asked with worried, he sat at the backseat and asked Kirby to drive to Selena"s school.
"Selena is alright but-"
"No, I mean Ms. Chen, is she alright?"
The other line went silent and that"s when Evan realized what he just said.
"Are they both alright?" Evan corrected.
"Yes but, Selena injured another student and the parents are on the way."
Evan hung up the phone after rea.s.suring that he will come, he shut his eyes and leaned his head against the chair.
His heart pounded, suddenly remembered the scars on Daniella"s back.
