Chapter 113 - The Fisherman (1/2)
There were more secrets left to be uncovered between the past. If you ask Jackson, he wouldn't have done that to her. But it wasn't his choice. It was either he took her under his wings or his supervisor would. A 40 year old man against a 10 year old child, wouldn't that be disgusting? So he did it. He would take this blame and responsibility to his grave.
”Little girl, please forgive me. I could only protect you this much. I'm too weak and powerless. If only they haven't found you, then you would probably have a much better life now.” He murmured inside his heart, as he watched her sleep. It was already the break of dawn and she fell asleep. Tired from their vigorous exercises.

”Why there aren't new still?! The world is goddamn small! What's the used of being the top organization in the world, when you can't even find one woman?!”
Cefei was mad. He was inside the headquarters of the Black Dragon Club. Although his father was still the Master of the Club, it doesn't mean that he didn't have any control over it. Due to his father's failing health, he was allowed to handle the club for some experience.
Just that, he never felt so helpless until now. His heart was torn apart, the moment April was taken away. Even the Hawthorne's hired them for information. If they can't find her, what should he do? She was one weak woman. How much suffering much she endure to be able to live a happy life?!
Cefei couldn't take it anymore and have unfortunately taken it out on his subordinates. Tommie rubbed his neck, he too was surprised about the results of the Black Dragon Club. It had been a month already of endless search.
Tommie gaze at his boss and sigh. Cefei was beyond himself lately. He was like a walking time bomb. His temper was always hot.
”The Golden Triad must've been holding all the information. Even though they had a falling out with Jackson, he still was a key member of the Jewel Drug Operation. They would rather find him themselves than us. So they are all suppressing all sorts of news about him.” Tommie gave his ideas to his boss.
”There must be some sort of conspiracy! They hate him yet they are still protecting him.” Cefei walked back and forth.
He was considered as smart as a person. Although he was a laid-back person and loves to do pranks on others, but once he gets serious, he meant business. As his thoughts wander to a certain direction, his footsteps slowed down. Until it finally stopped.
”They aren't protecting him but the product of the operation. Drug... Jewel Drug... April...” Cefei's brows furrowed. ”Tommie! Get all April's medical information here within two hours! Especially during the time where she was recently found. Any sort of findings and observation! Anything! Go!
Tommie was confused but still nodded and went to find that information. If what Cefei is thinking about, April must be the clue. He just hopes that he wasn't too late.
”April, please wait for me. I'll definitely save you!” Cefei clenched his fist.

Jessica stretched her sore body. She smiled when she remembered what happened last night. Finally, she was able to break Jackson's restraints.
She got up and went to shower. Jessica noticed the red marks all over her body. As if she had some skin disease. Still, she didn't regret angering her monstrous husband.
After taking a shower, she had put on some jeans and a shirt. Luckily, she didn't have any love marks on her arms. The ones on her neck can be covered by her hair. She nodded to herself when she was finally satisfied with her look.
When Jessica got out of the bedroom, breakfast was already set on the table. Jackson was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. He was also wearing an apron, looking like a domesticated husband. Unfortunately, his thick muscles don't blend in and it made it look s.e.xy.
”If you're done admiring the view, go ahead and sit. Do you want some orange juice or tea?” Jackson looked at his little girl, her hair was still damp. He smiled when he saw a slight red mark on her neck.
