A Mysterious Man

Chapter 98 Do you Understand Everything Now?

In any case she is still a doctor and therefore knows what she is doing.

“Go to the living room and look through the TV cabinet, inside should have my medical emergency kit.”

Following her instructions Kevin goes to look for it and not long after comes back with a small box.

He looks through it casually until he finds asthma and heart disease medicine.

“Are these yours?”

Sunny takes a slight glance over, “They’re Macie’s.”

Hearing this Kevin inspects the items more carefully and realises they really are all children’s medicine.

“Then what do you take?” When Kevin asks this question he suddenly feels a little ashamed.

Because like Macie said, although they have known each other for so long however Kevin seems to

have never seriously cared about Sunny before.

However Sunny doesn’t have any of these thoughts, instead she glances casually towards Kevin and

then uses her finger to point to which one, “That yellow box.”

Kevin picks it up and looks at it, “Anti-fever medicine?”

“Yes, I’m getting older now and not so finicky anymore, even with no water I’ll just take the medicine

directly.”

However Kevin still goes out to find water. Unlike before, in the past he would always get Irene to do

things for him. However this time in order to look after Sunny he willingly does what is needed for her.

After boiling the water and then letting it cool down, Sunny swallows the medicine in one gulp. But the

medicine melts directly in her throat, and the bitter taste makes her frown.

“Does it not taste nice? How about you eat something now?”

Kevin remembers that his porridge had been thrown on the ground when he was passing through the

door to see what was going on. He is about to sit up and pick up the porridge, but he is stopped by

Sunny.

“Don’t worry, I’m not hungry. You can go take a shower and rest early, tomorrow I have some things I

need to do.”

Sunny does not say exactly what she needs to do, but he vaguely understands what it could be.

“Do you want to go see Andrei?”

“I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

“Okay, then I’ll go take a shower. You should rest early too.”

While Kevin leaves the room he turns off the main light in Sunny’s room, but leaves the bedside table

lamp on.

Sunny looks at the warm-coloured bedside lamp and eventually feels so tired that her eyes slowly

begin to close.

However Kevin who is at the door, once he hears Sunny breathing evenly he breathes a sigh of relief

and then begins to look around the room.

He knows this room, before Troy moved in it originally was their secret base.

He looks at all the furnishings in the room; many of them were picked out by them at the building

materials market.

“This is my first ever independent space, therefore Kevin, as my best friend I grant you the permission

to have a look inside.”

At the time his reaction, although on the outside he seemed unimpressed, however his hands could not

stop touching everything and he could hardly tear himself away from this room.

Kevin cannot help but think of how Troy was just now, and although Kevin was in front of him it seemed

that Troy didn’t recognise him. This makes him feel unbearably sad.

Before Baron said that the state they are in now was caused by Bella and perhaps the reason why

something is wrong with Troy now has something to do with the phone call he had with Andrei.

All the evidence points towards the Hawkins family, and therefore Kevin quietly makes up his mind that

he will go with Sunny tomorrow.

For the sake of his good friend he must clear up this matter.

Now that he has made up his mind he thinks that things will be much easier to solve now. Kevin then

goes to the bathroom to take a bath, but after his bath he realises he made a mistake; he didn't bring

any clothes with him.

As a result he has no other alternative but to put back on his old clothes and then goes to knock on the

apartment next door.

Fortunately the people that lived there haven’t slept yet and Baron asks, “Who is it?”

“It’s me; I’m looking to borrow something from Troy.”

“He’s asleep.” Then in the next second the door opens and Baron’s cold face appears in front of Kevin,

“If you need something then you can tell me.”

Kevin swallows some salvia, “Do you have any clothes I can wear?”

?

Baron feels that this request is a little strange and therefore looks behind Kevin to see if he can see

something but instead sees nothing and a slight disappointment passes in his eyes.

“What are you looking at? I’m asking you to borrow something. Wait no, I’m asking to borrow clothes

from Troy.”

“To keep?”

“Yes.”

Their conversation is seemingly a little mysterious.

“Alright, come on in and choose something for yourself.”

Hence Kevin walks inside and then looks at the door tightly shut and asks, “How is he doing?”

“He’s taken some medicine and is now sleeping. Macie is showering now.”

Kevin takes a glance at Troy and after seeing him still neatly dressed he can’t help but breathe a sigh

of relief, “Alright, then I’ll just take my clothes and leave.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Baron raises his chin up, “His clothes are in my wardrobe, go get them yourself and be quick. I will go

to sleep soon.”

Kevin has no choice but to follow his orders and quickly chooses something that isn’t too unattractive

and then leaves.

Hesitating, he says his final words, “Thank you.”

Regardless of his treatment towards Sunny, Macie and Troy, Kevin feels he needs to say thank you.

However who knew that Baron would just disregard what Kevin said and instead with an

expressionless face pats the invisible dust on him and says, “It’s late at night, don’t disgust me.”

…

Kevin has passed on his regards and that is enough, so then Kevin shrugs and says, “I’m leaving.”

“Be quick.”

Baron is still as impatient as always however Kevin at this moment feels that his impatience is different

from how he was before.

After Kevin closes the door with a bang, Macie opens the bathroom door slightly and then pokes her

head out to look at Baron, "Baron, did my father leave?”

“What father? Don’t say random things, come on out once you’ve finished washing, I can still see your

face needs to be washed.”

Macie obediently tip toes out of the bathroom and says, “Baron, do you think there is any hope that my

mother and father will live together again?”

Baron gives her a condescending look, “No, now quickly get into bed and lie down.”

Macie pouts while getting into bed. Kevin on the other hand is uncomfortably lying on the sofa covered

by a small blanket however is consoling himself that this is progress, this is progress.

Some people are awakened from their dreams while some are awoken by loud banging on the door.

Early in the morning Kevin is on the sofa having a pleasant dream when suddenly he is awoken by a

loud noise banging the door.

“What is all this noise, don’t you know I’m sleeping?”

Kevin has no other choice since Sunny is unwell and therefore must sleep, so he pitifully gets up and

sacrifices his own sleep to see who it is.

When he opens the door and sees it is Troy who was banging on the door, all traces of empathy are

gone.

This bastard didn't make enough noise yesterday so now he'll do something again to bother him early

in the morning.

However as soon as Troy sees the disarrayed Kevin he stops moving his hand.

“You, you and her, you both…”

He is completely unable to coherently finish his sentence.

“What is going on that you have come here so early in the morning, did you even look at the time?”

Troy lowers his head humbly after being criticised like this, “I, this, I just came to thank Sunny for

yesterday.”

“Oh, yes, yesterday was certainly very interesting.”

Kevin calmly says this and is successful at making Troy’s head dip down even lower.

“I came here to say thank you.” He seems to be rambling slightly.

“You already said this, can I continue sleeping now?”

At this moment the only thing Kevin wants to do is sleep, even if it was just on the sofa, he is starting to

feel the sofa is just as comfortable as a bed. But no, Troy doesn’t intend to let him sleep at all.

“Kevin, I have always had a complicated relationship with you before, you know, I just, kind of, uh..."

He awkwardly looks towards the ground, “I want to apologise to you.”

“Alright I accept your apology. Can I go back to sleep now?”

“Won’t you listen to everything I’ve got to say?”

Troy really wants to confess everything to Kevin; however Kevin whose eyelids are beginning to droop

down really doesn’t seem interested in this right now and thus is not in the mood for this kind of sincere

conversation.

“Troy please, I really am so tired, just look at the time!”

Kevin looks down at his watch and points at the watch showing 5 o’clock, and once he sees this he

completely collapses.

“Oh my bad, then please go back to sleep and I’ll stay here and watch you sleep.”

“Get lost.”

After seeing Troy obediently return to his own house, Kevin then shuts his door.

“What’s wrong, who came here so early in the morning?”

After he closes the door he then sees Sunny standing by her door rubbing her tired eyes.

…

“It was nothing, just a crazy fool, he’s already gone now.”

“Was it Troy?”

“You saw?”

“I guessed who. He does this every time. When he wakes up he will feel that he has let everyone down

and then says thank you one by one to us all, including Macie."

… How is it possible that he has become like this?

“Alright don’t think about it anymore.” Sunny looks at him, “Take the time now to sleep since later he will

come back again and give us breakfast.”

Kevin feels that this is indeed something he would do, so he then takes a deep long look at Sunny and

falls back down onto the sofa.

“Alright, you should also continue sleeping a little while longer. Has your fever gone down?”

“Yes.”

Sunny closes her door again and lies back down on the bed; however she doesn’t feel sleepy anymore.

Her mind fills up with thoughts regarding Andrei. What on earth did Troy and him talk about that caused

him to become how he was yesterday?

You know, he hasn’t been like this for a long time now.

“What on earth happened…?”

She looks outside the window at the sky that is slowly getting brighter; however despite the clearness

outside she is still feeling so lost and confused.

When will she be able to make sense of everything again and when will she be able to break free from

this darkness.

“Very soon, very soon.”

She tells herself this quietly.

Surely enough Sunny is right, Kevin hasn’t been lying on the sofa for long when suddenly he hears

someone knocking on the door once again.

“Kevin, Kevin, are you awake?”

Listening to the cautious voice at the door, no matter how hard it is to get up Kevin must keep trying.

“Wait for me.” He impatiently says this and then goes over to open the door.

“What’s wrong?”

Kevin’s head hurts slightly, he really wants to sleep.

“I… I have brought over some breakfast. You don’t need to eat it straight away, I will just leave it here

and then you can eat it later.”
