“Drip.”
Tom Paul received a message and perked up, “Ice Blade asks us to meet tonight. ”
Claudius Belles raised an eyebrow, a little surprised, “So soon?”.
Tom Paul said smugly, “That’s right, the three of us were the pillars of the brilliant organization, and now that the three of us have fled, the dark organization will rush to steal people…”
Claudius Belles’ mouth twitched, “… you … you … are too self-centered.”
Claudius Belles asks as he heads for the house, “Where did he ask us to meet?”.
“Ice Blade asked us to meet him in East Limburg. He didn’t know that East Limburg was your territory and that if the deal didn’t go through, you, a woman of your character, would have set him up in East Limburg waiting for him to jump. This Ice Blade has a lot of nerve.”
East Limburg…
Claudius Belles frowned slightly, vaguely uncomfortable, was the damned man reminding him of something?
That confusing, cursed night happened in East Limburg.
But Claudius Belles prefers to think of it as mere coincidence or, rather, Ice Blade’s sincerity.
“How can you be sure that Ice Blade will come to negotiate with us personally?”
Tom Paul was immediately disgusted, “Hey, even if the three of us are apostates now, we’re still big names, okay, and Ice Blade isn’t coming to negotiate in person, but sending a representative to talk to us about such a big deal? I wouldn’t do that.”
“Ice Blade is the supreme boss of the Dark Organization, it’s normal for him not to come, he could have gotten one of the Dark Organization’s men of the same rank as us to come and deal with us. That wouldn’t be disrespectful to us.”
“Anyway, I have a feeling that Ice Blade will see us in person tonight.”
Claudius Belles didn’t bother to argue with him, “Whatever you say is what’s what.”
“Claudius, I’ve suddenly realized that, strangely, you don’t fight with me every time we talk about Ice Blade. ”
Claudius Belles rolled his eyes, “Because if it weren’t for having to find him, I would never want to have contact with this man again in my life.
When this matter is successfully resolved, he’ll punish Ice Blade with his bare hands!
Tom Paul stared at her and asked slyly, “Is it possible that you had a bad night with Ice Blade? Was it your bad technique or was he not up to the task?”
Claudio Belles suddenly stopped dead in his tracks and threw a punch directly at Tom Paul’s handsome face.
“Oh!”
Tom Paul groaned in pain and brought his hand to his nose…. Shit, he’s bleeding from the punch!
This woman, she’s so violent! Who dares to take her, only Ice Blade would dare to sleep with her!
Claudius Belles approached the medical room and looked through that glass at the man inside, his tone increased in seriousness, “Don’t tell Esteban Zaragosa about our negotiations with Ice Blade tonight. ”
“Esteban Zaragosa is not coming with us?”
Claudio Belles glared at him, “Esteban Zaragosa just lost his son to Dulcina Calvo, and with Dulcina Calvo still in a coma, he can’t be bothered to see Ice Blade. It’s enough for both of us to take care of.”
“Besides. When Esteban Zaragosa and I operated on Dulcina Calvo before, they took out a smart chip and that thing was the thing that was manipulating Dulcina Calvo, and Orlondo Marta was very scary.”
Claudio Belles pursed his red lips and said no more.
…
Inside the room, Esteban Zaragosa watched Dulcina Calvo.
The man kissed the back of her hand, his eyes slightly reddened and his gaze locked on his girl’s eyes.
“Dulcina, I’m sorry I was incompetent and didn’t protect you.”
The girl in the hospital bed was pale and bloodless, as if she had been very sick, and Esteban Zaragosa’s chest hurt so much he could barely breathe.
The person in the hospital bed, showing no signs of waking up, Esteban Zaragosa buried his head deeply and lay down beside her, finally pleading, “Dulcina, please, will you wake up?”
Dulcina Calvo’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Esteban Zaragosa’s eyes were even redder when she looked up again, “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t … have let you try on any wedding dress alone, if I had accompanied you to the fitting room I wouldn’t have taken you Orlondo Marta, Bao, I’m sorry … to have been the one who didn’t protect you and the baby.”
Only twice in his life has Esteban Zaragosa been as helpless as he is now.
Once, when he was five years old, he saw his mother die under a gun, but he couldn’t get up to save her, not even to scream.
Before his mother died, those eyes stayed on him, telling him – Esteban, make sure you live, no matter what.
He covered his mouth not to scream, and was hidden by his mother in a protected place, and survived.
He thought he would never again in his life feel that painful hatred for his own incompetence, for his own helplessness.
But now, the only girl he had ever loved in his life lay in a hospital bed, on the verge of death, and he couldn’t seem to do anything but blame himself and beg her to wake up.
He could not afford to lose Dulcina Calvo.
As long as Dulcina Calvo can wake up, make him pay whatever it takes.
“Dulcina, I’ll make sure you wake up and live as healthy as ever.”
He wanted to see his girl, smiling brightly at him, with that vibrant look of red lips and white teeth he would never forget.
He would also have killed Orlondo Marta to avenge his father, his mother and Dulcina.
