A Mysterious Man

Chapter 216 Can Not Wait Any Longer

However, at least they find these things first so there is still room for redemption between Sunny and

Kevin!

After keeping those things well, Kelly quickly exits the room and steps into the guestroom that has been

cleaned up by Lora.

She takes out her mobile phone and dials Ellison’s number.

“Hello? Ellison, Butler really left something at their house.”

Kelly opens the Kraft paper bag and places the divorce agreement and the note written by Butler

replacing Sunny on the bed.

Looking at the two things on the bed, Kelly looks grim, “Butler directly drafted the divorce agreement in

place of Sunny, and...a note.”

She originally thinks that Ellison will focus on the divorce agreement, but he says unexpectedly, “Read

the note for me.”

Kelly blinks and doesn’t understand why Ellison thinks that way, but still obediently reads, “Kevin, I

have been thinking a lot these days. I’m going to leave you because I have to make plans for myself in

the future. Seeing your body getting weaker and weaker day by day, I really can’t bear to leave you but

I have to make plans for myself and the child in my belly. I don’t want my child to be born without a

father. Don’t worry, I won’t take away any of the Quinn family’s property. If you really come through, I

hope you can treat yourself well, and forget me, just as if I have never been in your world. Don’t

disturb.”

“Damn it!”

Wade’s angry voice comes from the other end of the phone, and it is obvious that Ellison has just

turned on the hands-free and let Wade hear the note written by Butler in place of Sunny.

“We have always been scrupulous about our past affections!” Wade is obviously very angry.

He never expects that Butler is such a person.

Seeing that his goal is achieved, Ellison turns off the hands-free of his mobile phone, and after

comforting Wade with a few simple words, he begins to tell Kelly the next plan.

“Kelly, take away the divorce agreement and Butler’s note. Don’t let Kevin see these things after he is

discharged from the hospital.” Ellison calmly instructs the next thing.

Kelly nods and says, “What are you going to do with Butler?”

Thinking of Butler still locked in the basement, Kelly can’t help feeling a little worried.

Intuition tells her that Butler is not satisfied with the simplicity of driving Sunny away.

Ellison sneers, “Didn’t she want to replace Sunny and become Mrs. Quinn of the Quinn family?”

“You mean...”

“How about beating her at her own game?”

She wants to become the wife of Kevin, then they will take advantage of Butler’s plan to get the Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

antidote first.

As for the latter...

Who can promise?

After understanding the next plan, Kelly is also relieved, “Okay, just do as you say. I will continue to find

the whereabouts of Sunny tomorrow. China is large enough so there is always a place where Sunny

can go.”

Ellison smiles slightly, “Are you not afraid that Sunny has gone abroad?”

“Don’t worry.” Kelly says triumphantly, “According to Butler’s current economic strength, she can’t

arrange for Sunny to go abroad. She can only let Sunny go to another city at most.”

As long as Sunny is still in China, they will be able to find her one day.

Now Sunny is pregnant with a child so she can’t do a very tiring job. However, an easy job usually

requires registration of ID, so as long as Sunny uses her identity card, they can find her easily.

The plan is settled so Kelly is relieved. After speaking a few words with Ellison, she goes to sleep.

She has to look for the whereabouts of Sunny tomorrow so she needs to refresh herself.

...

Not long after Ellison hangs up the phone, the red light on the operating room finally goes out.

Ellison and Wade stand up, looking nervously at the closed operating room.

After a while, the door is opened.

Kevin who lies on the bed is pushed out by many nurses, and Troy follows him.

Ellison and Wade hurriedly step forward, and after confirming that Kevin has temporarily stabilized,

they surround Troy who has a tired look.

“Troy.”

“Ellison.”

They speak at the same time. Troy is stunned for a moment and then he continues, “Kevin can’t wait

any longer.”

He licks his dry lips and continues the bad news, “If we continue to postpone it, I am afraid that Kevin

will not be able to survive the last twenty-four hours.”

“Is there no way to postpone it?”

Troy shakes his head. His eyebrows and eyes are full of melancholy, “We have tried our best, but the

toxins have spread all over Kevin’s body long ago, and now...”

“The toxins have reached his heart and brain. Twenty-four hours is already the last time for Kevin.”

Troy and the best doctors in the country have gathered here to find an antidote and a way to delay time

for Kevin, but as time passes, Kevin’s life has also faded bit by bit.

Ellison nods. He also understands the stakes.

Troy sighs, “We will also hurry up to develop an antidote.” He raises his hand and pats Ellison on the

shoulder, “You should quickly find a way to let Butler speak out the whereabouts of the antidote,

otherwise...”

“We will never see Kevin again.”

Compared with the bad news of Kevin’s death, everyone still wants to get the antidote quickly, and then

help Kevin out of danger.

After explaining these things, Troy looks at Wade who is standing aside, and says to Ellison, “Well,

don’t just stand here.”

“Hurry up and take Wade to have a rest. Kevin still needs someone to look after. You’d better arrange a

person here to guard Kevin 24 hours. If he has any reaction, you must notify the doctor in time.”

After speaking, Troy looks at Wade next to him and says, “Wade, don't worry, we will definitely not let

Kevin die.”

These words are to comfort Wade and also to warn them themselves.

Wade smiles, “Troy, I’m not stupid. Just do your best.”

Wade seems to get older overnight. He nearly accepts the news of Kevin’s poisoning and almost

prepares for Kevin’s rescue being invalid.

Returning to Kevin’s ward, watching him lie on the hospital bed with many tubes on his body and an

oxygen mask on his face, Ellison feels very uncomfortable.

It is also this discomfort that makes Ellison hate Bella and Butler more.

Ellison closes his eyes, takes another look at his lifeless brother who is lying on the hospital bed, and

then turns around and goes out.

Wade has been sent back to the old house, and he plans to take Macie back to the old house tomorrow

morning.

Now Kevin is poisoned and unconscious. Sunny is threatened by Butler so her whereabouts are

unknown. And Kelly is busy looking for her whereabouts...

It is the best arrangement for Macie to be taken back.

...

After leaving the hospital, Ellison drives directly to the basement where Butler is locked up.

The basement is located under a villa in the suburbs. The villa is Ellison’s property in the early years.

There has been no one to live in these years, and the yard has not been cleaned. The yard full of dead

leaves looks a little desolate.

In addition, there is no house around here. There is only this villa in a radius of tens of miles, and it is

mostly surrounded by trees.

The yard was planted with flowers before, but those flowers have already withered by this time.

Besides, no one has cleaned the yard during these years so those blooming flowers now become a few

bleak tree stumps.

The trees planted in the yard are growing well because of the summer. The tall trees form a natural

barrier, and it is so cold that the moonlight falls on the ground through the gaps between the branches.

The dead leaves that have accumulated over the years now turn into a thick carpet. When you step on

it with one foot, the sound of the dead leaves being crushed can be heard.

The entire yard looks particularly desolate. When a gust of wind blows, the cicadas among the trees

scream more cheerfully, making the desolate yard even more desolate.

Ellison strides inward. After opening the door of the villa, he takes a quick glance at the surrounding

area before knocking on the door of the secret compartment.

The wall slowly moves away, and a dark passage is revealed in front of Ellison.

Ellison doesn’t fear at all. He takes out the phone from his pocket, turns on the flashlight, and walks

inside.

The long corridor is very quiet. There is no sound at all, but the sound of Ellison’s leather shoes landing

at this moment is exceptionally loud.

Finally, passing through the long corridor, Ellison knocks on the basement door.

The one who opens the door for him is the Scar Man who helped Ellison interrogate Butler last night.

After opening the door and seeing that it is Ellison, he is obviously taken aback.

He seems not to expect that Ellison will come here at the midnight.

After entering inside, he sees Butler who is hung in the air. Her body is covered with blood, and below

her, there is a pool of dried blood.

Ellison raises his eyebrows, takes the cold water that Scar Man hands him, and pours it all on Butler’s

body without mercy.

Butler, who has fallen asleep, is awakened by cold water.

The experience of being placed in a piranha fish tank before makes her very scared of water now.

“No...no!” She twists her body frantically but unexpectedly pulls the wound on her leg. She draws a

deep breath because of the pain, “No...no...”

She begs for mercy in a low voice. Her tears stream out a little bit, slide down the blood-stained face,

and finally fall to the ground under her feet.

Obviously, spending the time with the piranha has given her a great psychological shadow.

There are biting wounds all over her body. There is no meat on those large and small wounds. They

are pitted, and any touch will be enough to make Butler pass out in pain.
