Chapter 901 Her Eyes Showed Too Much Grieve

While Rae felt shocked, at the same time she also heaved a sigh of relief. She was scared out of her wits, she thought it was some bad guy!

She hurried and walked over, Kane had already turned and went into the house, so Rae followed inside. There was nothing in the house, this tiny yard seemed to be an abandoned house for protecting the forest against fire. It was located at the middle of the mountain and was very quiet, weeds have already grown all over the place inside.

After she went in, she walked over beside Kane and called out lightly, “Dad!”

When Rae had not been able to react, her face already took a slap!

Rae was shocked as her eyes widened.

Again, another slap came.

Rae only felt that her ears were ringing, and her eyes then saw darkness.

She did not know what was going on, she was suddenly slapped again. Of course, in the past five years she had a fair share of being slapped. But this time was more serious, there were two slaps, one on each side and was right on point. Rae felt that her cheek had swell up as well.

“Dad!” After Rae was hit, she still called out, her tone guilty. “I’m sorry, did I do something wrong again?”

Kane stared at Rae coldly, his aged eyes showed the coldness inside. It was a look that seemed to have came from hell, as if he was not looking at his own daughter but an enemy.

Rae took a step back on instinct under his gaze.

Yet Kane stepped forward suddenly, followed with another slap coming over.

“Hiding?” Kane finally spoke, but his tone sounded so cold.

Rae stood and did not dare to move, she merely felt very wronged. She called out in a low voice once again, “Dad!”

Kane still remained silent.

This time, Rae could not help but spoke, “Dad, I don’t know what I’ve done wrong. We haven’t seen each other for more than a month, and once we met you gave me three slaps. I really can’t accept this!”

Kane suddenly squinted, his voice containing danger. “Are you questioning me?”

Rae pursed her lips and replied quietly, “I don’t dare to!”

“You don’t dare to?” Kane laughed coldly. “I see that you are getting bolder and bolder. You have no organisation and no discipline now, and you didn’t carry out the task that was passed to you, you even dare to move out of the Baxter family home quietly. Nat, you surely are bold!”

Once Rae heard this she was instantly silent.

Indeed, she did not notify Kane before she moved out from the Baxter family home. That was because she could not bring herself to keep speaking harshly towards Leonard and Minnie, and she also could not bring herself to slowly poison Leonard. Thus, she moved away!

Although she promised to take revenge, but she could not disregard the right from the wrong and ignore the law!

“Why did you stop talking?” Kane asked coldly.

Then only Rae raised her eyes slowly, meeting Kane’s eyes. She tried to seek from that pair of eyes some calmness, reason, or even wisdom! Yet, she was disappointed. Those pair of eyes were now left only with darkness, left only with coldness. It was a pair of eyes that were shielded with hatred.

Rae sighed silently, for her to be born in this sort of family, it was likely a tragedy!

She began to feel a bit lost now, she already did not know whether promising her father to take revenge was a wrong or right thing to do! Was a person supposed to live in the shadows of vengeance for their entire life?

She did not dare to say so, as she was afraid once she said so it would provoke her father!

She could only resist with silence like this.

Yet Kane still persisted, he took out the medicine and passed it to Natalie. “Move back to the Baxter family home now and put this medicine into Leonard’s tea every morning and night. Stop being enemies with them for now, and treat them with a nicer attitude!” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Rae looked at the medicine he passed over, this had been the third time that she took this medicine from Kane, yet she had not used it even once on Leonard. This was because she despised using this sort of method, and she had seen way too many incidents in the Baxter family for these five years, Leonard seemed to not be as evil as how Kane had said! He was in fact a good father, at least he was extremely good towards his daughter and his staff!

Rae did not take the medicine, she looked at Kane for a long time before she asked in reply, “Dad, do we really have to use this method?”

Kane raised an eyebrow, being obviously angry at Rae. “Are you questioning my type of method?”

“Yes!” Rae did not deny it, she tried to calm herself down. Even though at this moment her face was heating up as if it was about to catch fire, but she still tried to calm herself down. She replied calmly to Kane, “This is against our original cause, dad. You’re a policeman, how could you break the law while knowing it?”

“Bastard!” Kane suddenly scolded. “Who do you think you are? Daring to talk like this to your father?”

“I’m just seeing things as they are!” Rae went out of her way as well, it was the first time she had resisted Kane in this way. “We were supposed to investigate Leonard’s illegal affairs at the beginning. Now that we can’t find anything, we begin to take the wrong path, this itself is against our original intent!”

Kane smiled coldly, “I don’t care, I just want to avenge your mother and your brother. Since the law couldn’t govern Leonard, then I’ll take over! Do you want to do it or not?!”

Rae tried to convince him again, “We can try to use legal means!”

“Shut up!” Kane suddenly roared and stopped Rae from speaking.

Rae stopped and did not continue. She felt that Kane was already beyond saving, and she had no way to convince him again.

“At the end of the day you’re still hungry for this materialistic world, and has become more and more attracted to fame and riches. You’re starting to want to live the good life in the Baxter family, you want to fly on solo as you’re now independent!” Kane’s words were filled with chide.

Rae was speechless, what more could she say? It seemed that she was wrong no matter what she said!

“I’m sorry, dad!” Rae apologised, she said to Kane, “I know that I’ve made you sad, I didn’t reach what you’re expecting, I’m no good! I just don’t want to use this sort of method, no matter if you want me to go down together with the Baxter family in public, it was better than this despicable way at their backs. I feel that taking revenge in this way was a humiliation towards my mother and my brother! But if you really want me to do so, I will go do so as well!”

She was thinking that she would merely take the medicine but not give it to Leonard, and Kane would never know!

Maybe it was because of seeing Rae apologising like this, Kane’s expression seemed to have softened. He suddenly shifted his tone and became more loving. “Nat, I was wrong, I had been a bit too anxious! I know also that you don’t like this method, but what else can we do? If I had another way, I wouldn’t need you to do so!”

Rae still took the medicine in the end. “I know, I understand, dad!”

“Then you can go back first! Remember to move back to the Baxter family home immediately!” Kane reminded Rae once more.

Rae nodded, “You can be assured, I’ll give him the medicine, but you must take care of yourself as well!”

Rae turned and was going to leave.

But Kane suddenly called out to her, “Nat!”

Rae turned and saw that Kane had another bottle of medicine in his hand.

“This is a medicated oil, I know that your foot was hurt!”

Rae was surprised, “You knew?”

“I saw that day!”

Rae was taken aback, “You saw what that rascal was doing to me…”

She suddenly felt very sad. Since he had seen it, at that very urgent moment he actually did not came out, was he still a father? If it was not for Marcel, would she still have her innocence? She looked at Kane complicatedly!

Kane could see and understand as well the emotions that were hidden in her eyes, as he said, “I wanted to do something, but I saw that leader of yours!”

Rae did not speak.

Kane asked again, “Was that your new leader?”

Rae nodded in the end, feeling that her heart went cold. “I have to leave, dad. Keep the medicine, I still have a lot there and couldn’t finish it!”

Saying this, she walked outside.

Kane watch behind her back and did not run after her, but his eyes were filled with coldness!

When Rae returned to her residence it was already ten o’clock at night. She took a few turns and went a few rounds, before she returned to where she lived!

Walking with heavy footsteps, she limped step by step to the downstairs of the condominium. There was a familiar car parked there before her eyes, Rae stunned.

Then she saw as Marcel came down off the car, his long legs striding, coming in her direction. She paused and stood, and did not speak.

After Marcel came over, he saw her face. Beneath the street lights, her face was already heavily swollen, the handprints were clear as day.

Marcel frowned, as he asked caringly, “Who hit you?”

Looking at Marcel’s deep, bottomless pupils that were so deep and filled with a genuine and caring look, at one instant Rae had the wrong impression that he was actually a person that would care for her!

Rae only felt that her heart slowly spilled a slight warmness, and in an instant her eyes actually moistened. But the next second she suddenly lowered her head, concealing her vulnerability at this moment.

Rae shook her head, her voice hoarse, “No one!”

“Rae!” He merely said her name, but his tone was filled with a strong and undeniable stance.

Rae sighed silently.

She did not want tell. These things, she could not tell!

She could not say it out loud, she was clear about the consequences of saying them out!

This was the darkest part of herself deep inside her heart, how could she possibly expose herself like that to the man she had a crush on for five years?

“I asked, who hit you!” Marcel’s tone lowered down this time, his voice seductive and hoarse.

“No one really, stop asking!” Rae was almost softened by Marcel’s caring tone, and got mesmerised by it. How could she forget how he had humiliated her before, and she did not know why!

“Looks like you have done something wrong, for a policewoman to get slapped but dare not tell.” Marcel concluded affirmatively.

Rae stunned and raised her head instantly.

Marcel happened to lower his head and looked at her, the two were face to face at an instant. Rae’s eyes were moist, that moistness containing too much of grieve.

A secret she could not tell, a method of revenge that she did not agreed on, it all became a laughable helplessness in the end. She clearly disagreed, yet she had not think of her father’s feelings.

At this moment, she really did not know how to tell about this!

She could only hold in her grieve on her own.

Yet Marcel suddenly said something like this now.

Rae realised that she was actually so vulnerable that it was helpless, her tears were actually accumulating bit by bit in her eyes and overflowed in an instant.

The words that Marcel was about to say were swallowed due to Rae’s grieve and woeful look at this instant.

The surroundings were so quiet.

They faced each other, Rae raised her head slightly. He was too tall, she could only raise her head.

Marcel stood and look at her, he did not move.

His vision landed on her exquisite face without any makeup, her face was slightly red and swollen from the marks of slapping. It was showing a vulnerable paleness, the redness and swelling intertwined. Such a fragile scene touched his heart slightly.
