Trap me in your love

Chapter 176 Secret of Ken Part One

"The day I die?" Ken grabbed the gun and pressed it on his forehead, he threatened, "Shoot if you dare. Kill me today if you can. Anyway, I am old already. I am not afraid of death. But Lawrence, you'd better think it over. If I'm dead, you won't even be able to see Daniel's dead body, not to mention let go of him!"

"You..."

Lawrence looked at Ken, he really wanted to shoot Ken, but he was afraid that he would really hurt Daniel and Jessie because of his impulse.

He didn't want to expose the truth so soon, but when he saw that Jessie was worried about Daniel every day and felt guilty, he really wanted to do something for her.

Lawrence took back the gun and said, "I don't care how important Daniel is to you. Anyway, I don't want to see Jessie get hurt. If you don't release him, you can at least let Jessie see Daniel."

"Okay! I'll arrange it for you."

Ken's quick reply made Lawrence a little at a loss. After a pause, he said, "Arrange it as soon as possible. If you make fun of me, I will show you what I am capable of."

Ken watched Lawrence leaving. He was angry.

In his life, there were only two people who had threatened him. One was Nelson. And Lawrence was the second!

After thinking for a while, Ken picked up the phone and dialed a number. When it was connected, he ordered, "Speed up the test on Daniel." 'Lawrence, since you didn't care about anything except Jessie, I would let you know the consequence of threatening me.'

When Lawrence entered Jessie's room with porridge, Jessie had got out of bed.

Seeing that Jessie was standing by the window, he put down the porridge, grabbed a blanket on the sofa, and put it on her.

"Jessie, why did you get out of bed so soon? You should have more rest."

"I've been in a coma for so many days and my bones have become stiff, so I want to take a walk." With a faint smile, Jessie said, "Lawrence, don't worry too much. I'm really fine."

"Well, don't push yourself too hard. You need to rest after standing for a while, you know?"

"Yes. I know it."

Lawrence put the porridge on the tea table and said, "I have good news for you. There is some news about Daniel."

"Really?" Hearing that, Jessie was so excited that she wanted to walk forward. However, she hurt her wound so violently that she could not help crying out. Seeing that her wound was pulled again and her face turned red with pain, Lawrence immediately stood up and supported her to sit down on the sofa.

He rebuked in a low voice, "I told you to be careful just now. Look at you. Your wound hurt again in less than two minutes. I shouldn't have told you about it."

"No, please. I'm sorry. I promise I'll be more careful." Jessie held his arm and said sincerely. "Lawrence, you said there is news about Daniel. So where is he now? How is he now?"

Jessie kept asking. She felt so guilty because there wasn't any news about him for such a long time. If he lived a good life, she would feel better, but if not, she would rather suffer instead of him.

She was willing to pay any price as long as he could be safe.

"I know you are worried about him, so I've sent people to investigate as soon as possible." Lawrence held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry. I will inform you as soon as there is any news. Although Daniel is your younger brother, I have treated him as my family member. You just need to take care of yourself. You can't let Daniel see you like this."

Jessie nodded.

Since she had wounds all over her body, if Daniel saw it, he must be very sad. Moreover, since Lawrence said that he would help her look for Daniel, he must have found some clues, maybe it wasn't confirmed yet.

She had to be patient. Daniel would definitely come back.

Holding Lawrence's hand tightly, she leaned her head on his shoulder, "Lawrence, thank you."

－

As time went by, the wound on Jessie's body almost healed. However, there was still no news about Daniel from Lawrence. She rarely saw him.

"Butler."

"Miss Jessie, what can I do for you?"

"Where are Lawrence and grandpa? I haven't seen them for days."

"Mr. Ken went abroad with Mr. Lawrence. He said he would be back in two or three days. I think he should be back in these two days."

Hearing that, Jessie answered and went upstairs alone.

But when Jessie went to the innermost room on the third floor, she found that the door of that room was closed, so she was curious about it.

The door of that room was always closed. She had never seen someone entered that room. Even the servants were not allowed to enter it.

Jessie felt suspicious. What was this room?

Looking around, Jessie found that there was no one around. She quietly approached the room and tiptoed to open the door.

The room was dark inside. Jessie had thought that this was a place where no one lived for a long time, so it must be covered with dust. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the room, a faint fragrance greeted her.

Turning on the light, Jessie was stunned in front of a big oil painting placed in the room.

It's a person! Who was she? NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Jessie walked closer to the woman in the painting and looked at her carefully.

She was a pretty woman with a pair of watery eyes, a delicate nose and rosy lips. She looked elegant and delicate. A red embroidered cheongsam perfectly covered her good figure.

With a smile on her face, the woman shyly looked away. In the quiet atmosphere, people who looked at her would feel an irresistible heartbeat.

The closer Jessie looked at the woman in the painting, the more she felt that the woman in the painting had a strong attraction that no one could resist.

Even Jessie was attracted by her beauty.

'Was she the wife of Ken? Lover? Or mistress?

If she was not the love of his life, how could he be so precious and keep her painting alone in this room?'

Looking at the ornaments in the room, she found that all of them were antiques. There was porcelain, recorder, dresser, and even woman's comb and mirror, all of which were very exquisite. They looked rare.

Moreover, they were all well preserved.

The room was dark, and the thick curtains blocked the sunshine outside. But inside the room, it was spotless and clean.

It could be imagined that how much Ken cared about everything here.

She carefully opened the photos on the dressing table. Every black-and-white picture showed the sweet look of Ken and the woman in the painting. Jessie could feel the strong happiness between them just from their smiles.

Jessie even envied them. How she wished she could have such a love!

However, when she opened the book under the photo album, Jessie was stunned.

Suddenly, the door was opened. Hearing that, Jessie was shocked. Her hand accidentally hit the photo album on the table, and with a bang, the photo album fell to the ground.

"What are you doing here?"
