A Mysterious Man

Chapter 225 Butler Passed out in Pain

Hearing this, Kelly turns her head to look around, only to find that it is indeed as Ellison said.

The place here is indeed very desolate.

With the surroundings being surrounded by trees, it should be a vibrant scene. However, there isn’t a

single household within a radius of ten kilometers around, making it look very desolate.

Kelly nods with a partial understanding, "It turns out that it is so..."

Although Kelly doesn’t quite understand why Ellison wanted to buy a villa in such a desolate place, she

will disregard it for the time being.

After all, the most important thing now is to finish solving the things on Butler’s side first.

The villa hasn’t been cleaned up for a long time. And a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the

inside of the villa, on the desk, on the fireplace, and so on.

Kelly reaches out and waves her hand in front of her nose as if such an action could make her inhale

less dust.

The dust in the air makes her so uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Ellison quickly opens the dark compartment and then presses the switch. After that, the

fireplace, which originally seems to be embedded in the wall, is slowly moving.

Soon, a deep entrance appears in front of their eyes.

Kelly slightly hesitates and then makes up her mind, walking with Ellison towards the inside.

The corridor is deep and dark. But the good thing is that there are wall lamps on the walls on the side.

So it is not like it is completely pitch-black that they can’t see the way ahead.

Soon, they arrive at the bottom. Passing through an empty corridor, they finally walk to the front of a

closed iron door.

After they knock on the door, someone soon comes over to open it.

The person inside looks through the peephole on the iron door. Only after seeing that the visitors are

Ellison and Kelly does he open the door.

The person who opened the door is Simon, a retired military veteran.

There is a very hideous scar on Simon's face. If the ordinary girl sees his look, they surely will be

startled backward by several steps. But Kelly doesn’t.

On the contrary, with a gentle smile on her face, she looks at Simon without any disdain or fear in her

eyes.

Simon feels that Kelly gets a sense of calmness and solitude accumulated over the years.

Simon greets them both respectfully, "Mr. Ellison, Mrs. Kelly."

Kelly nods and then follows Ellison, walking towards the inside.

"Mr. Ellison, Mrs. Kelly, arrangements have been made according to your request, that is, to find

someone to heal Butler."

Simon follows behind them. Upon seeing them sit down at the table, he stands behind them without

moving as well, explaining to them in a low voice about what happened here over the day.

Ellison nods, "Bring her out."

Hearing that, Simon is stunned. But he nods and goes over there to have Butler, who is in a coma,

brought out.

While Kelly sits there. And it is unknown what is going on in her head. Ellison doesn't say anything after

a glance at her.

Soon, Butler is brought out.

At this time, Butler is in a coma. To be precise, she fainted in pain.

When she was given medicine, no pain relief measures were conducted on her. And the medicine was

applied directly onto the flesh that had been torn off. And even a grown-up man will find the pain

unbearable.

Although someone has already changed Butler's clothes, it is unknown why there are some blood

stains on her clothes again.

There are some blood stains on Butler’s light shirt. And Kelly is stunned after seeing those bloodstains.

Ellison glances at her and purses his lips. Then he doesn’t say anything. Neither does he make any

move to cover her eyes.

In Ellison’s opinion, Kelly will have to face some things sooner or later. And she has to learn how to

face these things calmly.

If Butler alone can scare her out of her wits, then he simply has no idea about how she should face

those things that are more frightening than this one in the future.

Kelly tries her best to calm herself down.

The horrible environment previously didn’t scare her. And now, it is just a little blood on the clothes. She

surely won’t be startled with ease.

She, who understands the purpose of Ellison to bring himself here, doesn’t complain why he didn’t

cover her eyes when she encountered such things.

Because she knows that from the moment she became a member of the Quinn family, she couldn’t

avoid these things.

Instead of constantly running away and living under the protection of Ellison, she should learn to face

them, overcome them, and cope with them.

After calming herself down, Kelly glances at Ellison beside hers and sees that he has no intention of

speaking up. Then she understands roughly what he is waiting for.

Kelly says in a cold voice, "Wake her up."

Seeing that Ellison doesn’t show any signs of opposition, Simon directly fetches a basin of cold water

and then pours it on Butler's body violently.

The temperature in the basement is much lower than that outside. Moreover, the air conditioning is on

the inside. And the pot of water that Simon fetched is fresh-made icy water.

After the bone-chilling water is splashed on Butler's face, Butler, who originally fainted in pain, wakes

up with a jolt of excitement, opens her eyes, and finds herself tied to the pillar, which she finds so scary,

again.

While Kelly is standing opposite her while holding a cell phone in her hands. Staring at her cell phone,

Kelly doesn’t even look at her.

Butler sighs and says, "What… do… you guys...want...to do..."

She weakly looks at Kelly in front of her.

These days of constant torture have almost driven her crazy.

Either kind of the constant torture, including whipping, dripping wax, sharing a tank of water with

piranhas, makes her want to kill herself immediately.

Hearing Butler's voice, Kelly feels a wave of nausea flooding in her heart. However, she still

suppresses the urge to put the cell phone inside her pocket, "Say it. What do you want."

Butler remembers what she said to them last time. It turns out that she hasn’t forgotten the point that

everyone in the Quinn family means what they said.

She smiles weakly and says, "I want to become Kevin's legal wife."

Kelly is suddenly stunned. And she looks at Butler in shock as she doesn't expect her to make such a

request.

Originally, she thought that Butler would ask for something like being together with Ellison at most. But

she doesn’t expect her to ask for so much as to become Ellison's wife!

Kelly refuses without deliberation, “No way that I can promise you this. Even if I can, my dad will never

agree. Moreover, what if Kevin still has Sunny on his mind?”

Kelly voices her questions one by one, luring Butler into her trap step by step.

Hearing her words, Butler ponders on it for a moment and feels that it seems Kelly’s words do make

sense.

So she nods and says, "I am fine with not getting the title of being Kevin’s wife. But I want to be his

fiancee." After saying that, she pauses and adds, "This little request is not too much for you guys,

right?"

Her words infuriate Kelly. And the look on Kelly's face doesn’t look good.

Kelly thinks to herself, “This woman has crossed the line! She can’t be more greedy!”

“First, she asks to be a legal wife registered in the family household account book. And then she

requests to be recognized by all of them as Kevin’s fiancée. She is highly likely to demand to be their

mother later!”

However, seeing that Butler makes her move step by step according to their plan, Kelly is naturally

happy. So she nods, "OK, I agree with you on this condition. But..."

"I want you to help Kevin forget about Sunny."

"Aren't you and Sunny good friends?" When Butler hears this, she is happy, "You actually don't help

her."

Kelly shrugs indifferently, "I am the daughter-in-law of the Quinn family. Kevin is my husband's brother,

that is, he is my brother as well."

"My brother was fooled by a woman to such an extent that she actually ran away when he needed her

the most."

She skims with a disdainful look on her face, "I, Kelly, don’t have a friend like her."

With Kelly's promise, Butler obviously lets her guard down.

After talking with Butler, Kelly follows Ellison and leaves this cold and scary place.

...

While at this moment, Sunny, who is in R City far away, walks in boiling sun and follows a broker with

Annie by her side to check on a house.

The two of them intend to rent a house with two bedrooms, one living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

Although the house isn’t large, the point is that it is cheap! And it simply can accommodate the two of

them, who are two little girls, with ease.

The house is located in Chelsea. The main thing is that it is quite close to the place where Annie works.

And the owner of the house is someone nice. Seeing that Sunny is a single mother with a big belly, he

immediately agrees to give them a discount of three hundred dollars on the housing rent.

That is, each of them will only have to shoulder two hundred dollars of housing rent per month. With the

fees of utilities and others counted in, each of them probably has to shoulder about five hundred dollars

housing rent per month.

But this housing rent has been much cheaper than that Sunny had to pay while renting a house alone

and paying the water, electricity, and gas bills all by herself!

And the house is located in Chelsea. And it is commercial housing inside a residential quarter. Its

decoration and others are exquisite.

The house owner’s family used to live here. And because he made some money out of his business,

he bought a house in Kensington and then moved.

Seeing that the house here was unoccupied, he decided to rent it out.

Annie and Sunny wander around the house for a while. Then Annie asks in a soft voice, "Sunny, what

do you think?"

Annie is always extraordinarily gentle to Sunny. She doesn’t bear to speak loudly to her or let anyone

yell at her. And sometimes, Sunny always feels like she can see Ellison and Annie share some

commonness.

Kevin regards her as if she were a treasure, treating her attentively and fondly.

Sunny wonders if he's woken up yet. However, Kelly hasn't texted her today. So it means Kevin hasn't Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

woken up yet, right?

Sunny thinks that her assumption makes sense. It's only been a short time since Kevin took the

antidote. Even if the medicine can perform its efficacy well and fast, it's impossible for Kevin to wake up

in such a short time.

She wants to call or text Kelly to ask about it. But she is afraid that they will thus find her.

She can only give up, thinking that she can’t face Ellison with dignity.
