A Mysterious Man

Kevin strokes Sunny's hair to comfort her, saying, "Stop thinking about it. You can't help with...."

He doesn't know what to say anymore, not sure how to describe this thing as a bystander, because he knows better than anyone that only those who have experienced such pain can understand this feeling. So he can only change the topic, "Let's go in and see if there are any new clues."

Only then does Sunny regain her senses. "What, do you think there's something wrong?"

Kevin nods. "The weirdest thing about this is why he committed suicide. Was he afraid of the punishment if he got caught?"

Sunny doesn't dig this deeper. "He just feels guilty, so...."

Kevin rubs his chin and says, "So, let's go in and find out what happened exactly."

Sunny does not say anything and follows him in.

When they enter, they encounter the police officer who handled the case that day. Kevin takes a step forward and grabs him. "Hello, I want to ask about the updates about the murder that happened several days ago. My, my girlfriend came here then." The police officer looks at Sunny and tries to recall who she is. Finally, he remembers her and what happened that day. "Yes, I remember now. A lot came up recently. I'll bring you to him right away."

The police officer is nice. He takes Sunny and Kevin to the one in charge of this case.

"Yes, the murderer has been found."

Hearing Kevin's statement, the police officer nods with a heavy heart.

Kevin glances at Sunny and is not surprised to see her nervous expression; so he holds her hand and pinches it. "However, something doesn't add up. I can't talk about it yet. When we get to the bottom of this, we will let you know."

Kevin nods and says, "Then may I ask if my girlfriend is clean of suspicion?"

Kevin can feel Sunny tightens her grip on him when she hears that.

The police officer shakes his head and replies, "Actually, we all know this has nothing to do with Miss Ellen. It's just that the victim's family were all here that day, so we had to go through the procedures. Miss Ellen, I'm sorry." Sunny is relieved to hear that and says, "It's fine."

Kevin nods. "Then we should leave now. However, we are also concerned about this case. I hope you can keep us updated."

The police officer nods and says, "When the time comes, we'll tell you everything."

"Then thank you first." After Kevin finishes speaking, he pulls Sunny away.

"Actually, we didn't get anything out of him. His lips were sealed."

When Sunny walks out of the police station, she realizes something is wrong. "He tricked us."

Kevin smiles and holds her hand, saying, "Alright, forget about it. We came here to get you out of the suspect list, understand?"

Sunny curls her lips and says, "It's one thing to know, but it's another to accept."

Just as Kevin is about to say something, Sunny's phone rings, so she fumbles around in her bag for the phone.

"Hello?"

Finding it, she picks it up before seeing clearly the caller ID. "This is Sunny."

Hearing the other party talk, she discovers it is Zola, who hasn't been around for long.

"It's me. What can I do for you?"

"My mother is in the hospital. Your husband did this to her. Where are you?"

From the looks of it, Zola is accusing Kevin of something. So, Sunny looks at the gate in front of her and says, "The police station."

...

"My mother is awake now. She has something to ask you. Come to the hospital now."

Before Sunny can refuse, Zola hangs up.

"How weird...."

Sunny looks at her phone and mutters.

"What's the matter?"

"What's wrong with Zola today? Her attitude is completely different from when she asked me to operate on her."

Kevin isn't surprised and says, "Because she wanted something from you then. What did she say?"

Sunny glances at him and says, "She said her mother was awake. She wants me to go to the hospital and explain things."

Kevin looks indifferent and shrugs, saying, "Are you planning on going there?"

Sunny looks at Kevin and says, "Do you want to go? If you won't go, neither will I."

"Let's go and take a look. We have to face it. I want to know what she has to say."

In the hospital, after Zola hangs up the phone, she sits beside Lora's bed.

"Mom, I told Sunny to come over. We can't let her off this time."

Lora just had a near-death experience. Fortunately, she was rescued in time. Otherwise, she would be having tea with the Devil in the Underworld. Because of that, she is extremely weak. "Zola, that's your sister. We can't do this."

Zola says angrily, "How could she take what was ours?"

Lora says, "Why do you hate your sister so much? I remember you guys used to get along."

"It's because Gerry wants to divorce me," Zola says.

While the mother and daughter are talking, Sunny arrives and knocks on the door.

"Come in."

Sunny pushes the door open and enters. She discovers that Zola is looking at her with a hostile gaze. She asks, confused, "What's wrong?"

However, such a short sentence enrages Zola.

"Sunny, how dare you ask that? Look at what you have done to my family."

Sunny looks around and says, "This is the hospital, not your home."

"You!" Zola cannot argue with Sunny, but she knows how to act pitiful.

"Look at my mother. She is bedridden because of your family. How dare you!"

Sunny says, "Your mother jumped off the building herself. We didn't push her."

"Isn't she your mother, too? If your husband hadn't bought her company, why would she jump off the building?"

When Sunny hears Zola talks about Kevin, she gets protective and says, "Alright, then let me ask you. Why did my father suddenly die back then? And was the will forged? Can you explain these two things to me?" She didn't want to bring these up. Her father is dead, and her family property is gone, but it doesn't matter. She is doing well. Nonetheless, she is fed up when Zola repeatedly provokes her.

Zola didn't expect her to say that. Shocked, she doesn't know how to answer, only saying, "We are a family. Why are you questioning me like this?"

At that instant, Sunny realizes that she wouldn't let anyone touch Kevin and her daughter, so she sits down and says slowly, "As you said, we are a family. Then does it matter who is in charge of the company?"

It occurs to Zola that she has been tricked. She is about to say something, but is stopped by Lora who is lying on the bed.

"Zola, get a glass of water for your sister."

However, Sunny stands up and says, "My husband is waiting for me outside. If you are done here, I will leave first."

Zola's eyes are wide open. But before she can say anything, Lora lets Sunny go.

"Mom!"

"Alright, stop talking. Mom has a plan."

Sunny does not hear Lora's last sentence. She thinks Lora wants to start fresh after her attempted suicide.

So when Kevin asks her at the door if anything is wrong, she shakes her head and says, "Apart from Zola's hostility, everything else is fine."

Kevin nods and says, "That's good. I was afraid they would make things difficult for you. Then what are we going to do? Get out of here and grab a bite?"

Hearing that, Sunny looks at her phone, and doesn't say "it's still early" out loud. "Anything in mind?"

"What do you think? I'm not hungry yet," Kevin replies.

Sunny rubs her belly and says, "Me, neither. Why don't we go to Macie's kindergarten to check on her?"

Kevin doesn't want to waste their time alone on that, so he makes another suggestion, "Shall I take you out?" "What?"

"Let's go. I've never taken you out. I'll take you to the amusement park today. It's a date."

Sunny says, "Amusement Park? Should we take Macie?"

Kevin blurts out, "She went there last time."

...

"When did it happen?"

Kevin accidentally speaks out his secret, so he can only explain, "You were on duty. Later that day, I was afraid she would disturb your rest at home, so I took her out." Sunny says, "It is a good thing, but why don't I remember it?"

Kevin hugs her and says, "You were asleep when I took her there."

"Then, let's go. I've never been to an amusement park."

Sunny decides to turn a blind eye on this matter, and they happily go to the amusement park.

"Kevin, I want a ride on that Ferris wheel!"

Kevin looks at Sunny, who is smiling happily, and feels that he made the right call to bring her here. It's the first time that he has taken her out.

Hence, when he sees Sunny's face full of anticipation for the roller coaster, he agrees immediately without thinking.

He sits in his spot, and the staff fastens his seat belt. Because he is handsome, the staff repeatedly checks on him. Then he starts to regret it.

Why did I sit here? What was I thinking? How dangerous this is!

Before Kevin can figure out what is wrong with him, the thing under his butt is suddenly activated. He is so scared that he holds onto Sunny's hand and wouldn't let go.
