Ch. 2131..2140

Chapter 2131 The couple did not stay idle, but they took the child to the mall and went nuts on buying clothes, a small bed, and all sorts for the child. When it was time for lunch, they brought the child to a place that was favored by all children. They seemed like a typical family of three. Vireo suddenly felt a sense of happiness in a daze. From then on, he would be the child's father.

He gently and generously served the food to the child and then gently wiped the corners of his mouth for him. However, the child seemed to still resist him very much. On the contrary, the child was not estranged from his newly gotten mother at all and he got close to her very quickly. He kept calling for his mother, which made Vireo jealous.

When he saw the mother and son duo walking in front while laughing and holding hands, Vireo, who was carrying bags of clothes he bought for the child and the woman, also felt very touched. That night, the couple helped the child decorate his room and also make the new bed. In an instant, the house became more lively.

When vireo wanted to bring Mira out of the child's room, the child, who was lying on the bed, suddenly grabbed Mira's hand. " Mom, don't go. Tell me a story...a bedtime story, alright?"

The six-year-old child actually had tears welled up in his eyes just because he wanted to listen to a bedtime story.

When Vireo saw the way the child looked, he felt incomparably heartbroken, vireo was also an adopted child. He had been longing to be loved and to blend into the family.

Before Mira said anything, Vireo touched the child's head in a gentle manner. "Your mother and I will sit on either end beside you to tell you a story and watch you go to sleep, alright? Tell US, what story do you want to listen to?"

He originally thought that after spending a whole afternoon with the child, they would more or less be a little familiar with each other, so the child should also not be defensive of him anymore. However, what he did not expect was that the child still ignored him. The child simply looked at Mira.

Mira smiled. "Vireo, he is a child and he grew up at the orphanage. Maybe he is dependent on me because I am a woman, children at such a young age certainly would be relying on their mother. You can first go to bed. I'll tell him a story and put him to bed. After all, this is his first day in our house. Alright?"

Mira was very gentle with vireo, which had never happened before.

vireo then nodded gently. "Alright."

He thought to himself that everything takes time and could not be rushed. He would be a good father. He would use his love to get through to the child. After that, he would raise the child to be the future of the nation. He had absolute confidence.

Just like that, day after day, Vireo showed his patience and gave the child his fatherly love. He cared for the child very much. It was to the extent that because of this child, even if it was tough and tiring, even if he was only done with his operations at midnight, he always chose to go home. All for the sake of taking another look at the child. 1 However, after half a year, the child's opinion on Vireo still did not change much. From time to time, the child would apologize to Vireo. He still would not call Vireo "Dad". Vireo was disappointed, but once he thought of the fact that the child had grown up at the orphanage, he thought that the child may have already experienced all the difficulties in life at the tender age of six. Therefore, it was not so easy for him to open up to others. Vireo still needed to slowly get through to him.

Besides, there was still some hope for viero. At the very least, the child's hostility towards him had already reduced very much. From time to time, he actually would even look at Vireo with an apologetic gaze. That was already very good. Vireo was very relieved. He was thinking that one day, he certainly would be able to get through to his son. That was simply his loved one for life. 1 In the morning, he still went out of his way to personally drive his child to school. When they were leaving the house, he did not even let the child carry his own bag, but vireo, who was the father, helped the child carry his bag instead. The father and son, who were not quite on the same page, walked through the thick snow towards the parking lot early in the morning. Before they got to their car, they saw a man, who seemed to be in dire straits, standing in front of them.

The man looked at Vireo with hostility. "Payne, are you happy being a father to someone else's child? Don't you think it's shameful?"

Chapter 2132 Vireo was very confused while looking at this uninvited guest. His vision was very good, so he was certain that he did not know the man. They had never met each other, so Vireo did not know how the man knew his name, was able to find this place, and also say why would he say that Vireo was being a father to someone else's child for nothing. What did he mean? Could it be that the man before his eyes was the child's father?

Vireo lowered his head to look at the child. The child immediately hung his head and stomped on the snow with all his might.

Vireo could not see the child's expression, but from his action, vireo could clearly sense that the child was hiding something from him. A sense of foreboding immediately surged through his heart.

Vireo looked defensively at the disheveled man across from him. " You, who the hell are you?"

"Who the hell am I?" the man sneered. His tone was very disdainful. "You're a kept man without dignity and a stinky man from a lowly background! You don't know who I am? Then you have to ask your wife, who am I?" 2 Vireo was speechless.

At that moment, Mira suddenly caught up to them from behind and she was holding a trench coat for children in her hand.

Because it snowed and the weather suddenly became cold, Mira was afraid that the child would catch a cold, so she came out to send the coat to him. She was holding the coat and before she got to the front of Vireo and the child, she saw the man standing not far away. Mira was stunned.

The man sneered. "It's been a long time, Miss Turner! No, I should be calling you Missus Payne."

Mira's voice was also very cold, and there was a sense of despair in that coldness. "You already got out?"

The man looked at Mira with an unruly, cold, and vicious gaze. " That's right! I didn't die inside. How do you feel about it?"

Mira suddenly burst out shouting angrily. "Jake Quillen! You d* mend devil! You didn't die in prison. I should have cursed you more! why didn't you go to hell? I'm asking you, why aren't you dead?"

"If I'm dead, will you be able to sleep without any worries?" Jake asked.

Mira hugged Vireo's arm at once and then boasted to the man named Jake Quillen. "Jake, let me tell you this now. This is my husband, vireo Payne. We've been married for four years. My husband is the youngest and the most talented surgeon in the provincial capital. We're.Jiving a very happy life, and this is our child."

At the end of her sentence, Mira looked at that six-year-old child with great relief.

After he heard what Mira had said, a ferocious gaze appeared on Jake's face. "What did you say? Say it again!"

He was basically saying that while gritted teeth. His hateful expression made vireo even more perplexed, vireo had a lot of confusion. He also had a lot of questions. The first reaction he got was that Mira and this man named Jake should have some complicated connection. Was this the man from seven years ago who had ruined her? vireo's intuition told him that he was the man! He must be the man! Vireo even suspected that this child in front of him had some relations with both Mira and Jake.

Vireo had never been a man who's always suspicious of other people and things. However, at that moment, he simply had such a feeling. Waves after waves of chills that were like the tidal waves surged through vireo from the bottom of his heart. A fit of incomparably strong anger was burning inside his heart, so much so that he wanted to kill again. It was just like that moment from four years ago when he confronted the Payne family back at the county. However, vireo still held himself back.

vireo had been treating patients, holding the surgical scalpel, and witnessing all the stages of life and death every day for a very long time, which led to Vireo having very strong self-control since a long time ago and everything had appeared to be very cold and usual to him. Therefore, vireo did not ask anything. No matter how much turmoil was going on in his heart, he still looked calm and unruffled on the surface. He simply looked very calmly at Mira, the child, as well as the hateful man named Jake who had come to shout at them.

Jake was also looking at Vireo with a murderous gaze.

The stare-down between the two men was interrupted by Mira's angry roar. "Jake, listen to me carefully! Vireo is my man! My man! He is my man! We have a child now!"

Chapter 2133 "We are very happy! Did you hear me clearly?"

Her remark was very angry, but Vireo could tell that she was also saying it out of spite. Vireo then glanced at Mira. Mira got more and more agitated. "Jake! You're in such a down-and-out state right now. How do you, a young master of a noble family, feel about that? I went to your house as a guest and I was scolded by your mother so harshly, and yet, you asked me to apologize to your mother. I have apologized and I was so obedient to you. In the end, you still dumped me just like that. Good! That's very good! You had never expected what happened after that, haven't you, Jake?"

Mira threw her head back and laughed hysterically. "Jake! God is truly fair! Your family was actually into money laundering! Your mother deserved to be on death row! she died so miserably!

There's also you. Weren't you very talented? Weren't you very domineering? A man of your words? You're absolutely nothing after losing your parent's protection!

"You son of a b*tch! I am lucky that you've dumped me and got yourself that woman! She had set you up very miserably, right? In order to cut all ties with you, and also to cheat you of the only few million dollars you had to save your life, she actually sold you off! Haha! she sold you off! Jake! Don't even think of shouting arrogantly in front of me anymore. You're already not the same person as before. I know more about you than you can ever imagine!"

Hearing Mira saying so, Jack was stunned. "How did yo-you know? It Mira sneered. "Three years ago when you had just been sold off by your girlfriend, whom you've dated for three years and was already preparing to marry her, you escaped and also made a distress call, right?"

"Yes, the person I was looking for is you. You loved me so much, so I thought you probably would save me. I was thinking back then that if you have saved me, then I will live my life with you and be good to you for life. However, that call didn't get through,"

Jake said.

"You've gotten through! The person who picked up the call was my father and I was also right in front of him! However, I didn't want to save you. Jake Quillen! Do you know how miserably you've made me? I was pregnant with your child!"

When Mira said that she was pregnant with Jake's child, she was saying it in front of Vireo. she said it so naturally and she did not even glance at vireo.

"But what did you do?" she continued. "You didn't want me anymore. You turned your back and tossed me away. You even asked me to handle my child myself. I had a miscarriage when I was seven months pregnant. Since then, my uterus has been removed, shouldn't you, on the other hand, pay a little price for that?"

"You were...the one who gave me away that time?" Jake asked in shock.

"That's right!" Mira sneered. "I was the one who had personally called the people from the criminal organization and told them your precise location, so they went after you again. It's a pity that you jumped off a cliff and escaped. However, that was great as well. From then on, you've also become like me. You no longer are able to have a child. Haha! Say, is this retribution?"

Jake was so shocked that he could not even say anything anymore. Even Vireo was so shocked that he was speechless, let alone Jake. Vireo had figured out the relationship between Jake and Mira.

However, he did not expect that after being married to his wife for so many years and his wife seemed to have nothing to do every day, she was still paying close attention to Jake behind his back. That was enough to show that Mira's so-called love for him and wholeheartedly wanting to live with him was nothing but a joke. Mira was still immersed in her unbalanced love with Jake in the past.

Right at that moment, Vireo was even more certain that this child could be Mira and Jake's child. She did not have a miscarriage at all back then, she had given birth to the child.

While Vireo was still deep in his thoughts, he already heard Jake suddenly say very dispiritedly, "Mira, come with me. I have nothing left. All I have now is you and our child."

Chapter 2134 As soon as Jake said that, vireo and Mira were both stunned. The man who was still crazily resentful earlier on unexpectedly and suddenly became harmless. Both Mira and Jake could not help but look at Jake at the same time. A burst of helplessness started to show on Jake's face, and there was also a rich sense of compromise in that helplessness.

"Mira, I'm sorry," said Jake. Mira was speechless.

"I have wronged you in the past. I didn't know how to appreciate you at that time. I treated you as something dispensable. I deserved to die for that. I have received my punishment later on, haven't I? My family is broken. My father got the death sentence. My mother was imprisoned. I was also..."

Speaking of that, Jake smiled bitterly. "I was also almost killed. I did not die, but I can no longer have children anymore.

I just barely got to keep my life."

Jake took a long sigh. "Mira, I am hateful. Not only do I hate you for not saving me while I was dying, but also for pushing me over the edge of the cliff, making me no longer be able to be like a normal person. However, when I see you and the child, I instantly have no hatred anymore. It was all because of me! I was too cruel and vicious to you back then! You're right. My evil actions were being punished. All of these are my retribution.

I originally shouldn't be alive, but I have lived on. Not only am I alive, but I even learn that I have a child. That child back then was not miscarried, right? This is our child! Mira, look, you can't have a child anymore, I also can't have a child anymore. Both of US only had a child together. We're a family, aren't we? Let the three of US be together and live the rest of our lives loving each other. I've changed. I will be the servant to you and the child in the future. As long as I can live by you and the child's side, I am willing to kneel. Mira..."

No matter who was listening to Jake's words, they would hear endless remorse in his words. Such words were not sweet nothings, but they made Mira get caught in her memories.

Jake was her first love. Vireo could not compete with Jake's unrestrained attitude, his handsomeness, and his domineering nature. Vireo was too good to her. He was so good to her that he had no personality at all. when Mira thought about it at that moment, the person she loved the most was still Jake. It was just that she hated him too much back then, and he desperately wanted to do everything brutal to him.

However, things were already different from the past. Mira had witnessed vireo protecting that girl. He even secretly gave her money for tuition and asked the girl to study hard and whatnot. Mira was extremely jealous and hateful.

However, for the sake of the bigger picture, she endured it. However, at that moment, Jake has already returned.

Jake was right. This six-year-old was Mira's biological child, she had hidden the child very well for four years. She never had the guts to tell vireo about this child's existence, she was simply looking for a suitable opportunity to bring the child back and let vireo accept this child as the matter of course. That way, she would be able to be with her child and also the man who loves her. She would then have a perfect family of three.

However, never would Mira have expected that Jake would return, and he would come looking for her and the child.

Mira's mind instantly wavered. She had already forgotten how she had begged Vireo to come to the provincial capital with her. she had forgotten how Vireo had taken care of her, loved her, and tolerated her time and time again in the past almost five years. She had forgotten about it.

Chapter 2135 She had never taken all that Vireo had done for her seriously. It was the same as how Jake had treated her back then.

At that moment, Mira held the six-year-old child in her hand, and step by step, she walked towards Jake in an enchanted manner.

" Jake, are you...are you telling the truth? You will love me and my child? You will never...abandon US again?"

Jake nodded solemnly. "Yes! of course! I am already in such bad shape, so of course, I'll keep my word. I also want to tell you that even though my father received the death sentence and my mother is imprisoned, some of my family's properties are still there. Not only that, but my family more or less has some connections. After you married me, I absolutely will not be like your current man, who is obsequious and also a kept man. Mira, I know that you don't like kept men. You just didn't have a choice back then, right, Mira? He..."

When he said that, Jake suddenly pointed at vireo. During that time, Vireo had inquired plenty about Vireo. From what he had understood, Vireo was a wimp who relied on a woman to get into the best private hospital in the provincial capital. He relied on a woman to rise to fame in one fell swoop. He was the youngest and most talented surgeon in name only. Looking at the way he acted like a simp in front of Mira, he was simply a gigolo! It was worse than a gigolo!

"He simply is a bumpkin without any substantial resources! Mira, what exactly do you see in him? Look at his dumb appearance.

He is like a dead man! Mira, don't you feel bored living with such a man like him? When you were in college, you liked to dance, watch art films, travel the world so much and you liked romance so much. Can you still get this kind of life being with this man?"

Without a doubt, everything he said was exactly what was on Mira's mind, vireo indeed could not give her all that. It was not because Vireo was not a romantic, but he had spent most of his energy on treating and saving the lives of others. Also, vireo was a person whose actions speak louder than words. He had never been one to whisper sweet nothings. However, Mira seemed to like honeyed words. That made her have a refreshing sense of comfort.

She gently looked at Jake. "Jake, are you telling the truth? You'll watch movies with me and travel to every corner of the world with me in the future? You'll dance with me? Is that all real?"

"No! There's our child as well. We, a true family of three, will go to the movies together and we'll travel to every corner of the world together. We will forever be together as a family of three," Jake said with deep affection.

Speaking of that, Jake looked at the six-year-old child. "Sonny as well. Look at me, Sonny. Are you willing to call me 'Dad?' I am your biological father. This is your biological mother. From now on, you will no longer be an orphan anymore. You're a child with a father and a mother. Sonny, hurry, come into my arms."

Oddly enough, perhaps this was simply the relationship by blood, when the six-year-old child heard Jake calling for him, he actually really moved towards Jake one step after another. He was mumbling, "Dad...dad...dad...."

"Get over here quickly!" Jake shouted excitedly.

At the same time when the child was moving towards Jake, Mira also could not help but walk towards Jake with one step after another. She did not think about what her legally married husband, Vireo, was feeling at that moment. She had forgotten that she had a husband and was already married, she had forgotten that her husband was by her side. Perhaps in Mira's heart, Vireo would never be worthy enough to lose his temper.

At that moment, vireo went from being silent and in a daze at first to having a blank mind. After that, he went from having a mind that was completely blank to slowly regaining his senses. He just looked coldly at the family of three in front of him.

It was after Mira had gotten to the front of Jake that vireo uttered a few words coldly, "Guess how fast would it take if a surgeon like me were to kill someone?"

Chapter 2136 When the family of three, who was originally immersed in happiness, suddenly heard that cold and eerie voice behind them, the three of them could not help but shudder at once. At the same time, the three of them turned around and looked at vireo, who had a calm expression. They were all stunned. They were too engrossed and too excited, so they had completely forgotten about Vireo. Mira, in particular, had always thought that Vireo had endless tolerance for her.

"Vireo..." Mira had an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, Vireo. I know that you love me, but I..." she did not continue any further, but instead, she changed the topic. "Vireo, you're such a skilled doctor, you're so young and so talented. If you were to find a woman again, it'll still be very easy. That...that college girl really likes you very much. NOW...I agree for you two to be together."

What she said seemed like she was giving a handout to Vireo.

vireo gently shook his head. "Mira, you didn't seem to understand my words."

"Vireo, you..." Mira said.

"I'll repeat the meaning of what I said just now. My hand is used for wielding a surgical scalpel. If I were to kill someone, do you think my movements would be fast?"

Mira suddenly felt a little frightened. "Vireo, what do you want... what do you want to do?"

"We've been a married couple for so many years. Don't you know me?" Vireo asked in return.

"Vireo, I...I have a child. Also, Jake is in front of you..." Mira said.

Vireo sneered, "whoever you had a history with, whoever had a child with, whether your child is alive, dead, torn into a million pieces by a b*tch like you, or missing a limb is all your business!"

"Vireo Payne! How can you be so cruel with your words? You won't even spare a child! Yet, you call yourself a doctor who treats and saves lives! You don't look like it one bit to me! You're just a kept man from a lowly background!"

"So, not only am I a man from a lowly background, but I am also insatiably greedy. Not only am I insatiably greedy, but I will kill as well!"

Upon saying those words, a vicious expression suddenly appeared on his face, with a sudden big stride forward, he rushed straight at that child!

It has already been half a year. That was how long he had loved that child and he had exhausted every way to make that child happy. However, he never would have expected that this child was actually the child his wife had with his former lover. If his wife had told him the truth at the very beginning, he would not have been angry.

Perhaps everything was true in the story that his wife had compiled, but she hid the truth about the child, since she had already hidden it, then she should not have gotten the child back for the rest of her life. However, his wife was so greedy that she wanted to have the child by her side. It was not too much to say that she wanted to have the cake and eat it too. 1 What made vireo even angrier was that his wife got so carried away with her former lover and her child right in front of his face.

Did she think that Vireo was dead?

What was wrong with the world? What has Vireo done wrong? He had already accepted every injustice he faced growing up. He also had repeatedly eased his mind and made himself positive.

However, time and time again, injustice always managed to find its way to him! Was it because he was easily bullied?

Perhaps vireo was not born to be a good person, and he was born to be an evil person who was unforgivable. He should not have deceived himself over and over again and exhausted all ways to make himself a good person. No! He was not a good person! He was the devil. Vireo was simply born to be the devil!

As he approached the child, a scalpel appeared in Vireo's hand, and it was directly poking straight at the child's neck The child was stunned. He had always hated Vireo. That was because his mother had married this man. If his mother had not married this man, then his mother never would have abandoned him. Therefore, the child had always been hostile to Vireo. He knew who his mother and father were because the people who helped look after him had told him everything.

Chapter 2137 Therefore, as soon as the child saw Jake, he knew that his biological father had come looking for him.

The child had suffered too much in the past six years. He had been longing to have his parents. He instinctively was able to become close to Jake and like him, the six-year-old child was contemptuous to his adoptive father who had taken care of him for half a year. This kind of contempt made the remaining bit of compassion for the child in Vireo's heart vanish without a trace as well. Without any hesitation, Vireo drove that scalpel straight towards the child's neck. However, never in vireo's wildest dream would he have expected that Jake's reaction was so fast when it was such a close call.

Ever since his family had fallen, Jake had no other abilities, but his ability to flee for his life was top-notch. Speed was key when it came to fleeing for life. He had to run fast and reach out his arm fast. Therefore, right when the scalpel in vireo's hand was just a millimeter away from poking into the child's neck, Jake pushed the child over. Vireo missed.

He turned his head back and glared at Jake with his eyes as red as the devil's. "I can't get rid of him, then I'll get rid of you first.

It's all the same!"

Upon saying that, vireo raised his scalpel and stabbed straight at Vireo's aorta. He was a surgeon, so Vireo knew better than anyone where the arteries were, which place was most deadly, and which place could be fatal with just a cut. His movements were incomparably fast and accurate. However, Jake moved even faster. Anybody would be able to exhibit superhuman strengths when fleeing for one life. That was the case for Jake. Both of them then started running around with one going after the other in broad daylight. 1 While Jake was running, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Help, help! This kept man, this freeloader, this man from a lowly background is trying to kill me! Help! Call the police quickly!"

vireo, who was behind him, had reddened eyes, disheveled hair, hideous expression, and was holding a scalpel in his hand. He kept shouting crazily, "I'm going to kill you..."

In fact, Vireo also did not know who exactly he was going to kill at that moment. He had always been a calm person. However, he no longer was able to keep calm anymore at that moment. His mind was in utter chaos. He simply wanted to kill. All he wanted to do was to kill.

When he heard a woman's voice behind him shouting sharply, " Murder! My husband has murdered someone! My husband is a lowly man. He had been exploiting my family's wealth for years. He is a pervert! Quickly help me call the police!" Vireo immediately stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and glared at Mira with his bloodshot eyes. This woman! It was all because of this d*mned woman! It was her.

she was the one who had lied to him! She had made him so miserable with her lies, what did it have to do with Jake? what did it have to do with the child? Everything was because of this woman!

"Murder?" Vireo sneered at Mira. "Mira, you're in your early thirties this year. You're still in the prettiest years of your life. If I were to end your life now, you'll be able to remain young forever. Say, don't you think as your husband, I am very good to you?"

"You...vireo, do you...want to kill me?" Mira was so frightened that she turned around and ran like mad.

"Haha! Weren't you the one who called me a murderer?" Vireo chased after Mira like he had gone mad.

After all, it was a man chasing a woman, so with just a few steps, he caught up to Mira. He then grabbed Mira's hair and then pulled with his might. Mira was then brought to the ground.

"No...don't kill me." Mira was hopeless beyond measure.

Vireo, however, did not say anything. He simply sneered. He then quickly raised the scalpel in his hand and then stabbed Mira's aorta.

"Ah..." Mira screamed in despair.

Immediately after that, an authoritative voice said, "Don't move! If you move again, you'll be killed on the spot!"

Chapter 2138 Vireo's hand only hesitated for just a moment. He turned his head back and looked at the police officer, who was aiming at him, then he smiled coldly. "Fine. Kill me then."

The police officer was speechless.

vireo no longer looked at the policeman anymore. He glared at Mira as if he had already been possessed. He had no intention of staying alive. He simply wanted to let this woman receive the harshest punishment possible. He raised his hand and viciously drove it down again. Right when the scalpel was only a centimeter away from Mira's aorta, Vireo was shot. The scalpel instantly slipped off his hand. After Vireo looked at the hole in his chest with his eyes widened, he slowly fell over.

A few seconds later, Mira was saved. Vireo, who was injured, was pinned to the ground by a few police officers and he was instantly captured. Killing someone in public was too terrible of a behavior. It was fortunate that the person who was holding the gun was not an executioner, but was a kindhearted person instead. He did not hit Vireo's vital organs, but it was just a centimeter shy.

Vireo was rushed to the hospital for treatment. At the same time, the onlookers also started to whisper to one another.

"Well, he truly was an ungrateful man from a lowly background. They provided him for his basic needs, gave him a career opportunity, and in the end, he ended up killing people."

"I have also heard that his parents back in the county weather he came from would come to the provincial capital for a raid every now and then."

"They truly have raised an ungrateful jerk."

"I have really learned a lesson. In the future, when my daughter gets a boyfriend, no matter how talented, good looking and how good his job is, as long as he is a man from a lowly and rural background, I absolutely would not accept him! rd rather my daughter not marry anybody than to find such a perverted man! It's too scary."

"It's indeed scary."

"Well..."

"This girl is truly pitiful..."

"I heard that she is the daughter of the director of the best private hospital in our provincial capital, she was a proper young lady.

Just because she got herself an unreliable man..."

While the crowd was having some discussions, the man who was escaping all over the place just now, Jake, also led the child over. Jake was still in shock as he helped Mira up. "Mira, are you alright? Mira, we were almost separated forever just now. Say, what kind of man is this that you've married?"

Mira threw herself into Jake's arms. "Jake, I was scared to death just now. I was so afraid. I didn't expect that Vireo is actually such a pervert. I didn't expect him to hide it so well. He...he is actually a murderous maniac. He is a pervert. Jake..." Mira sobbed.

"Alright. Alright. Don't cry anymore. It'll all be alright in the future. He has already been arrested. In the future, we will live together as a family of three. We will forever be together. Look, this is our child. He is our child. I have been holding his hand." 1 Mira looked at her child and she immediately hugged him while crying. "Oh, baby. My baby. I was scared to death just now. Baby, I will never ever let you leave me again. I will protect you forever from now on."

Jake also put the two of them into his arms. "I'll be around in the future. I will protect both of you. It's alright. It's fine. Let's go home..."

While saying that, he helped Mira up. Just when the family of three was about to go back to Mira and vireo's house, she saw a few people standing across the street. Those people were standing next to a car, which was a Beauick with seven seats, and exactly seven people were standing outside of the car. They were Lucius and his wife, his three daughters, Chloe, Ashnah, Abigail, as well as their grandparents.

Chapter 2139 Because Vireo had adopted a child in the provincial capital during that time, he had not gone back to visit his parents, grandparents, and also his three sisters for half a year. The entire Payne family had plenty to complain about vireo.

when they called him on the phone, vireo would brush them off. Therefore, the Payne family just came straight to the provincial capital in a Beauick without even calling ahead. They came to question him. Not only that, but the Payne family also felt that a huge part of the reason vireo was more and more indifferent to the Payne family was that his wife, Mira, was coming between them. Therefore, the entire Payne family was here to question Mira.

Right when their car arrived at the intersection before going into the house, the Payne family saw both Mira and an unfamiliar man hugging a child. It was easy for anybody to have wild ideas when they saw that scene.

"Mira Turner! You wh*re! You're the daughter-in-law to the Payne family!" Chloe pointed at Mira and shouted angrily at her.

"Mira Turner, do you think just because you're rich and powerful in the provincial capital, we, the Payne family, would be afraid of you? Our family is not somebody that's easy to mess with. You actually dared to have an affair behind my brother's back in broad daylight! Mira, do you want to die?" The second sister, Ashnah, pointed at Mira.

At that moment, Abigail had already taken out her phone and taken a few shots continuously. It was after she had kept her phone that she slowly said to Mira, "Mira, we are not afraid of making a big deal out of the matter. After all, in our opinion, your family's reputation in the provincial capital is immensely important. If you have to believe that if we, the Payne family, want to let your family be crushingly defeated in the provincial capital, we can make it happen! I repeat, the Payne family are not afraid of letting things escalate. We're simply afraid that the matters can't get out of hand!

Now that I have the evidence against you, do you want to have a proper discussion with US?"

Abigail was already very clear with her intentions in her words, she truly was not afraid of making a big deal out of it.

The entire Payne family would never care about Vireo's reputation, much less vireo's marriage. They simply wanted to grab the suitable opportunity for their family to get half of the Turner family's properties. The least they wanted was half.

Only then would the seven members of the Payne family feel it was fair. Therefore, as long as they catch the opportunity, they would certainly make a big deal out of the matter. They would make a huge fuss with all their might until it was well-known to everyone and until Mira and her father were scared, and then obediently give half of the properties!

However, the Payne family had made a miscalculation this time. As soon as Abigail finished her words, a couple of raw eggs landed on top of her head at the same time.

"Smash this freeloading family to death! You still had the cheeks to come here and threaten this girl? You've raised the man from the lowly background! You're the family of the freeloading man! I've finally met the family behind the man from a lowly background today. Gather round and see. They are like this. Look at how greedy they are! Come on everyone, come and have a look."

"Smash her to death with eggs!"

"Smash their family to death!"

Because the incident of Vireo killing people with a scalpel had just happened, the large crowd who had gathered there had not been evacuated yet. There were plenty of women and old ladies among the crowd who had just returned from their grocery run. Every woman had some eggs in their shopping baskets. At that moment, as long as one of them egged the rest on, the rest would also kick up a fuss together.

Suddenly, eggs were flying from all directions and were smashed on the Payne family members. They were then completely soaked in eggs. Also, they truly felt afraid when they were facing condemnation from all directions. At that moment, the seven members of the Payne family, including the elderly grandfather and grandmother, were like convicts and they did not even have a chance to speak at all.

During the process, there were also people who had taken a short video. Of course, the caption to the video was asking people to look at the family behind that strange and perverted murderer who came from a lowly background.

With that, the Payne family, who originally wanted to befoul the Turner family's reputation, got the opposite result instead. Not only did they fail to befoul the Turner family's name, but they got themselves befouled instead. In just one afternoon, the perverted murderer, who was also a greedy man from a lowly background, as well as his strange family were known all over the entire provincial capital.

vireo woke up from a coma three days later. He was surrounded by police officers, who were keeping an eye on him, and also doctors. There were some reporters as well.

"Mister Payne, you've woken up. May I know if you feel guilty about your shameless behavior as a man from a lowly background? " One of the reporters asked straightforwardly.

Chapter 2140 Vireo, who looked very weak, looked incomparably calmly at that reporter in front of him. The reporter's attitude of wanting to make a big deal out of the matter was almost written all over his face. Vireo coldly asked the reporter in return, "Have you ever interviewed a murderer?"

The reporter smiled. "Mister Payne, am I not interviewing you now?"

"That's true..."

After a pause, he asked again, "Have you ever thought about this? You firmly believed that this person is the murderer, and then you reported about him after recklessly exaggerating the truth, he got famous overnight and then he was executed on the spot.

After a long time, you realized that the murderer, who was originally wrongfully accused, was condemned because of your conclusion, which was made with terribly little info. If that were to happen, would you feel guilty?"

"You..." the reporter said.

"No, no, no." Vireo smiled again. "This is already not an issue about guilt. This is about...would you have nightmares? Would you be afraid of dying? You certainly will be afraid. Because you'll be afraid that after you've died, you'll meet that person, who had lost his life as a result of being wronged by you. You'll be afraid that he will bite you to death. No! You'll be afraid that he'll push you into the frying pan and fry you alive. Mm-hmm...perhaps it'll be more vicious than that...because, well, it's hell."

Vireo's remark made the reporter embarrassed and he was trembling all over.

"You...you've gone crazy! You're being unreasonable!"

"Me? I've gone crazy?" Vireo asked the reporter neurotically. After asking that, he even smiled coldly at the reporter. That expression simply was like a ghost when the reporter had seen it.

The reporter was so frightened that he immediately retreated. However, it was already too late. Vireo had already grabbed his wrist. After that, vireo pinched on the needle, which was originally stuck on his hand but somehow ended up in his hand, and then poke it straight towards the report.

"Ah..." The reporter was so frightened that he wet his pants within a second.

Fortunately, there were many medical staff and also people who were supervising vireo in the hospital. Only then did vireo fail to kill him. However, vireo kept shouting angrily, "Didn't you say that I'm a murderer? Since you say that I'm a murderer, I'll just murder you and make my identity as a murderer true. I'll kill you. I'll kill you! Kill you!"

When he was held down on the bed by two supervisors, he was still shouting angrily.

The reporter who interviewed him had already been so frightened that he ran off in a panic.

In the end, it was after Vireo was given a shot of sedative that he suddenly became quiet. He was then wheeled into the emergency room again. This time, those who came to rescue him were his former mentor, who came all the way from South city to visit him, and also some well-known experts in the country. Those experts were all his mentor's closest friends. It was not because of the shot in his chest that the group of experts rushed over to treat him.

Rather, during the examination of his injuries, they actually found out he had a problem with the blood vessels in his brain.

Vireo was only in his early thirties. Logically speaking, it was not the time for cerebrovascular diseases to occur. Also, vireo usually did not smoke or drink. He had been extremely disciplined with his life and he had a very little intake of meat. He had no high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugars. However, the blockage has already started to form in the blood vessels in his brain. That left his mentor, as well as some experts, very puzzled.

Later on, they had visited Vireo's living environment growing up and also looked into his life the last few years. In the end, they had no choice but to come to the conclusion that his condition was caused by having a long-term and pent-up depression, when his mentor saw such a conclusion, he immediately cried.

"This is a good kid with potential. He had been my student for so many years. I knew him more than anyone else. If he was willing to back then, any top hospitals in the South City would have wanted him. However, he said he wanted to benefit the people in his hometown then. He wanted to watch over his adoptive parents and support them for the rest of their life. After all, he was a caring child. It's just a pity that he has such a parasitic family. Never mind about that, but he even met such a wife. Oh, why is his life so miserable?"
