Chapter 175 Today Would be the Day You Die
Both of them were silent, full of thoughts.
Seeing the tears on Jessie's face, he felt helpless and guilty. He knew she was worried about Daniel, but he just ignored her. He
only wanted to know if she had really forgotten Mark and if she was really willing to start a new life with him.
Just when Jessie was in a coma, he sent someone to investigate Jill on purpose. When he learned that Jill was John's woman,
he couldn't help making all kinds of assumptions.
He asked her what had happened because he wanted to see how Jessie would answer him.
He hoped she would tell him the truth. But he was also afraid that she would lie to him. At the thought of his skepticism and
distrust of Jessie, Lawrence regretted so much.
Suddenly, he stood up and said, "I'm going downstairs to get you something to eat. You can have a rest." Then he turned around
and left.
The moment the door was closed again, her tears fell down again.
She felt that she had slept for a long time as if she had a very long dream.
In her dream, she married Mark and gave birth to a cute baby. The baby had fair skin, round face, black eyes, thick black hair,
plump and cute.
Just as she was immersed in happiness, the picture suddenly turned and her baby disappeared in front of her eyes.
She was frightened, flurried, at a loss.
All she could do was cry, and she felt fear and helplessness. She kept calling Mark's name, hoping he could help her get her
baby back. But what responded to her was the silence in the room, along with her cries of fear and despair.
She lost her baby, so did Mark and everyone else around her.
They abandoned her.
That feeling of loneliness and helplessness, like a sharp blade, pierced Jessie's heart fiercely, and she was overwhelmed with
grief.
When Lawrence went downstairs and told the chef to prepare some rice porridge for Jessie, Joseph, who just came over from
outside, looked at Lawrence in disdain and said sarcastically, "Tut-tut. You are going to be the best lover in the world. You can do
anything for a woman who cheated you. You are really something."
Lawrence didn't want to talk to him anymore. He just glanced at him and bypassed him.
Joseph leaned against the pillar of the dining room, and with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he said, "What a rare world!
You're so happy even after you've devoted yourself to it."
After a pause, Lawrence immediately turned around and glared at him with resentment.
How could Joseph be afraid? He still looked at Lawrence with an evil smile.
"Don't look at me like that. Your expression makes me think I guessed it right."
"Guess what?" Lawrence asked back, hiding the fire in his eyes, "I know more clearly than you what kind of person Jessie is.
Even if she still couldn't forget Mark, she would be mine one day. But you, you always tease her. I'm wondering whether you
have a crush on her or not."
Joseph suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "Why would I like a woman like her?"
"Whether it is possible or not, only you know." Then Lawrence went upstairs with a snort.
Joseph gritted his teeth and glared at Lawrence's back.
'Lawrence, let me see how arrogant you could be! I'll just wait and see!'
"Grandpa, can you let go of Daniel?"
"Shut up! Are you out of your mind?" Ken stared at him and said, "Lawrence, don't you know how important Daniel is to us? His
gene structure is the key to our research. Lawrence, how can you make such a request for Jessie?"
Since Lawrence got a chance to see Jessie, Ken knew that Lawrence would do something excessive for Jessie sooner or later.
Like Daniel.
Although Lawrence was a calm and thoughtful man, the only flaw of him was that he was too emotional and sentimental.
He just wanted to take care of Jessie and only consider for Jessie. He even ignored what Joseph had reminded him.
It was not hard to tell how important Jessie was for him.
Ken was not surprised at all that Lawrence requested to release Daniel. It was as expected. He had hoped that in Lawrence's
mind, he would consider the overall situation, consider MR and him more or less.
But it turned out that he didn't care at all.
Without saying a word, Lawrence stared at Ken quietly.
After more than ten years of getting along with each other, Lawrence knew clearly about Ken's character. And he also knew that
it was impossible for Ken to take the initiative to let go of Daniel. But he didn't bear to let Jessie live in pain and worry. He
couldn't do that.
He clenched his fists, hesitating on about the decision he had come up with.
Looking at Lawrence in silence, who kept silent and had no intention to leave, Ken asked, "Anything else? If you still want to
persuade me to let Daniel go, I advise you to give up. Even if I do, Joseph won't agree." Besides, he didn't want to at all.
"What if I order you?"
"What?" Ken widened his eyes in astonishment. He slapped the table, stood up and said in a low voice, "Lawrence, do you think
you have the ability now, so you can come to order me, right?" Lawrence dared to threaten him for a woman! Ken certainly was
furious.
'He was really out of his mind!'
Lawrence stared at him without any fear.
It should be said that Lawrence had never been afraid. Instead, he felt that Ken was an elder who also saved his life. If it weren't
Ken, he wouldn't have lived.
But all the relations between them had ended yesterday!
Since Lawrence knew that Ken was the murderer who killed the Xiao family, he had no longer treated Ken as his family.
Even the relations between them was gone.
"Ken, you cannot hide the truth for a lifetime. I appreciate your kindness to raise me up over the past ten years. However, I know
clearly the hatred between us. I just want you to let go of Daniel. That's my only request to you. But if you can't do it, then don't
blame me for abandoning our relations which has existed for more than ten years."
"What do you want to do?" Ken asked in a harsh tone, with murderous look on his face. "Lawrence, do you really think you are
powerful enough to do anything you want? I don't know what you've heard. Anyone who dares to act like a tyrant in my place will
have only one end."
As soon as his voice fell, a gun was aimed directly at Ken's forehead.
Ken asked in a cold voice, "Lawrence, is this the way you repay me?"
Lawrence sneered, "Repay you? Why should I repay you? More than ten years ago, you killed ten members of the Xiao family
and made me an orphan. Do you think I want to take revenge or repay you?"
"What...How could you..."
"Do you want to ask me how I got to know that? "Ha-ha, walls have ears. Do you really think that nobody in the world will know
you were a murderer?" Lawrence put the gun to the middle of Ken's eyebrows and threatened in a cold voice, "Let go of Daniel,
or today will be the day you die!"
