Hospital

"How's her condition, doctor?

" Kevin asked the doctor when they finished bandaging the burns and scratches on his arms and feet.

The doctor looked at Kevin with a frown.

"She's fine. Aside from the wound on her shoulder, she's relatively fine. There's barely any burns on her body. Please rest, Boss.

"

Right now, they were in the hospital owned by Kalin Family, Kevin's family. He rushed over here as fast as possible and asked them to treat Kanae first before himself. Only after they placed the two in adjacent rooms did Kevin allow them to treat his wounds.

Kevin nodded.

"Is she awake?

"

"She's sleeping right now,

" the doctor answered.

Kevin frowned slightly.

"Have you contacted her family about this matter yet?

"

"Her sister should come any minute now.

"

The doctor inspected Kevin's expression with wonder. Every single time this man came here, he would not change his expression easily. He even had the feeling that he was treating a statue rather than a living man. However, this time, he was showing his worry about the girl very clearly.

"I see.

"

"Boss, you should be more concerned about yourself. The burn on your back is not going to heal anytime soon,

" the doctor said worriedly.

Kevin glanced at the doctor but didn't say anything regarding his own wounds. It was just a small burn for him, not worth mentioning at all.

"Focus on treating her.

"

After he said that, Kevin could hear the commotion outside the door. Someone was running towards the room next door, and the voice of a young girl could be heard.

"Where's Sis –I mean, Kanae?

" Laura asked while panting for breath. She practically ran up from the first floor because she was worried about her sister. When she received the news, she was holding a meeting. Without thinking, she postponed the meeting and handed the important matters off to the others as she made her way here.

Her sister's well-being was far more important!

Neo pointed to the door beside him.

"Kanae is inside. Please don't be too loud, she's sleeping right now.

"

Laura nodded.

"How is she?

"

"She's just wounded slightly. It won't threaten her life.

"

"That's good,

" Laura felt her knees turn weak. She leaned on the wall as a smile appeared on her face.

What she worried the most was what if her sister lost her life. They only had each other, she wouldn't be able to handle it if she had to lose her sister. Thankfully, it was not an injury that would threaten her life.

Neo stared at Laura's expression with a complicated feeling. Right now, he could clearly see the reason why his Boss always tried to suppress his own feelings and never tried to get close to Kanae. It was always a fact that she was an ordinary person who lived under the ray of light.

On the other hand, they were people who could only stay in the Underworld. Their actions could never come under the light because of how dangerous they were. Dragging an ordinary person to live this kind of life was unfair as it would only make her life harder and full of danger.

Mike patted Neo's shoulder as he pointed to the door on the other side. Neo saw Kevin walking out slowly.

He frowned. The doctor had warned this man to rest, so why did he come out now when Kanae was sleeping?

"Laura Nali?

" Kevin called.

Laura turned around. Her eyes widened when she saw Kevin walking towards her slowly.

"Is there anything I can help with, Mr. Kevin?

"

"I'm sorry.

"

With that, Kevin bowed down in front of Laura. The surrounding people looked at him in disbelief. As this hospital was owned by the Kalin Family, they were all Kevin's subordinates, so they knew how high this man's position was. Right now, this important man was bowing down to a girl.

A girl!

They felt that the world had turned upside down right now. Why did their Boss bow down?

"Don't,��� Neo gripped Mike's hand as firmly as he could because he could see that Mike wanted to rush to Kevin's side and stop the man's action.

"But…

"

"It's his decision.

"

Laura looked at Kevin with bewilderment. She was flustered as she could sense the other's gaze on her.

"Please stand up, it's not…

"

"Their target was me, but I involved your sister in this matter,

" Kevin answered, still bowing down.

"The wound is not life-threatening,

" Laura forced out a smile. She knew her sister's character and these two's interactions, so she would never blame him.

"I believe that she wouldn't blame you for that.

"

Kevin knew that. He had said it directly to the girl and saw how Kanae still smiled at him. However, when he saw Laura, he was reminded of one more thing that he took from them. A very important thing.

"I also want to apologize for three years ago.

"

"Three years ago?

" Laura frowned in confusion.

"The incident that took your parents' lives three years ago—their real target was also me.

"

At that moment, time seemed to stop, and the temperature dropped several dozen degrees. Laura was looking at Kevin while her mind worked at an unimaginable speed. All this time, she had been trying to find out the one responsible for the incident that took her parents' lives.

However, every single piece of news related to the incident was covered up. As she had only started to search for the truth when she returned back to the city, she didn't have the means to find out anymore.

She never truly gave up as she wanted to teach those people a lesson for taking everything from them. But right now, she felt complicated. Why? Why did the person who took everything from them turn out to be the very same person who loved her sister and whom her sister loved?

'This can't be…'

On the side, Neo narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought that Kevin had already forgotten about this matter as Kevin continued to pursue the girl. However, it turned out this man had never forgotten; he just placed it in the back of his mind. Revealing it now, did he want to incur their wrath?

Laura's body trembled as she felt anger, hatred, sadness, as well as many other various feelings. Her feelings were completely mixed as she stared at the man before her.

"For years I have been trying to find out who killed our parents. It turns out the person is standing in front of me, how foolish of me.

"

"I'm sorry.

"

Laura looked at the man in front of her as tears started to pour down. Her heart was crushed at the thought of what they had to suffer all these years.

"Do you think 'sorry' can turn back time? Can you return what you have taken from us? Can you erase all the pain you have inflicted on us because of that incident? Sorry doesn't change anything!

"

Kevin knew that, but he couldn't do anything aside from saying sorry. He was not sure that he would be able to tell this girl to ask anything of him. Still bending his body, he apologized once more.

"I'm sorry.

"

"Haven't you got enough? After taking my parents, do you want to take my sister away too? She already suffered enough because of you! For years, she's the one who had to bear the brunt as the older one because I couldn't help! You don't understand anything! Because of you… because of you…..

"

By this time, Laura was yelling with tears staining her face. Her breathing was rough, just like she had just sprinted.

"J-Just stay away from me. I don't want to see you again.

"

Laura turned her body around. She wanted nothing more than to kill this man right here, right now, but she couldn't do it. Her sister loved this man and cared for him so much. If she tried to attack him, Kanae would only be hurt again.

She didn't want to make her sister feel sad and hurt again when her sister cared for her so much.

Kevin straightened his body. His eyes studied Laura for a few seconds before turning back to his room. He looked towards Lou by the side.

"Find out who planted the bomb and targeted my life.

"

"Yes, Boss.

"

Lowering his gaze, Kevin laid back on the bed. He truly didn't know what he should do anymore regarding the two sisters.. Right now, things just didn't look right.
