Chapter 358 - 358: Pregnancy Hormones (1/2)

And by the looks of it, he wasn't the only one who recognized the amiable nickname.

His little girl wouldn't miss a day mentioning her good friend and neighbor, Doctor Haohao, every time he see or call her.

His beloved wife would laugh heartily and add comments about how 'nice' the doctor was to his wife and daughter.

She would constantly tease him how handsome he was just to spite him for being absent in their life so frequently.

For three years his wife and daughter lives at the Imperial Jade condominium, not once had he ever seen who this Doctor Haohao was.

According to his wife, the doctor rise earlier than the sun, and goes home very late at night, or sometimes not at all. Hence why he had never run into him before, despite living on the same building and floor.

It annoys him greatly how his wife knew so much about another man.

Going home everyday was a luxury that's hard to come by due to his work. He's a Demon, a spy, a double agent, and many more.

He's not a good person. Because of his job, he had ruined lives, caused demise to whoever his employer gave him as a target.

He has multiple enemies, revenge-driven individuals who seeks vengeance or justice. That being said, it wouldn't take a genius to see that he needs to lie low and cover any trails of connection he has with his family.

Lillie Bai was suppose to be his last and final assignment. After that, he'll disconnect completely from the Underworld. He promised his wife that he would leave that life and start anew with her and their daughter.

His employer was extremely generous to pay him a large sum that would last until his grandchildren's college funds, while remaining to live in luxury.

What a cruel joke . . . to think that this crazy doctor who caught him was the same neighbor his daughter adores so much—the same guy who he would get jealous over to sometimes—was actually his target's associate.

That means . . . that means, just outside this place, this unit . . . was their home?

”You mean Little Hawk?” Song Zhihao looked at Lillie, puzzlement written all over his face.

”Yes, Little Hawk.” What a fitting nickname. The little girl has eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

Sadly, not sharp enough to discern the demons hiding inside her two new friends.

Lillie circles the man, like a cat taunting a mouse who's playing dead. ”How about we take up her offer now, and invite her here instead to have snacks with us?”

”And maybe even let her see her dear father again . . . as a gift of 'friendship'.” Ethan suggested, his indifference speaks volume of his ruthlessness; that he couldn't care less if he would place an innocent mother and child into a mess if it benefits him.

True to their moniker, these two are Devils, and they wouldn't shy away to hide their cruel nature.

No one could prove if they have any affiliations with the Underworld. As a result, many try to avoid them as much as possible.

Especially since until recently, there has been rumors of Lillie Bai's relationship with the military that's under the infamous authority of Major General Tang Hejiu.

His comrades tried to persuade him that going after Lillie Bai may not be worth it. Those who tried before were not heard from again.

But he remained stubborn, as you can tell. The offer tempted him. And due to his oversight, he risked not only his life, but his precious wife and daughter as well.

Bitting his lower lip until it drew blood, he weakly said, ”Please . . . I'll tell you everything, but please leave my family alone . . . I beg you.”

Now that's the sight of a man who's willing to give up just to not give up everything he holds dear.

He knows that after he opens his mouth, he will never see his wife and daughter ever again.
