The air were tensed..
The instant John heard her voice, his eyes darkened..
"What are you doing here?" That voice suddenly demanded to him..
John aren't as naive as before.. After a few confrontations with this woman, it's pointless to show any sympathy or kindness. Therefore, his eyes shone with determination as he managed to turned around and his gun facing to her face.. "So, you're familiar with this place as well.."
"I asked you first, what purpose you're doing here?"
Hanna once again asked him with cold-stern voice.
Instead of answering, John posed another question to her, "How do you know this place?"
Hanna's face simply unreadable. Without any warning, Hanna asked him this, "What have you done to my parents?"
She suddenly asked a million dollar question!
This shocked John Yun to his core! He stood in stunned silence..
My parents?
Did she meant..
"What could possibly I've done? What do you mean?"
John's tried to know what on earth she's trying to say. Is it the same as he thought it would be?
Nevertheless, Hanna treated him a silent reply.
Little did he know, Hanna also waiting for his response. She's thought the same thing as John has!
"Hanna Li.. what is your relationship with William Hae and Lia Margaret? Are they your biological parents?
"!!"
Hanna was stupefied!
How come he.. knew their name?!
This facts alone enough brings her body to shiver..
Subconsciously, she muttered weakly, "..yes.."
As she heard her own voice murmured, she was shocked to herself.. what just happened to me?
Judging to her changed expression, John now finally understood for one thing..
"So, that's why you took the necklace from me.. It's belong to them.."
Hanna looked up with uncertain looks on her face. Why this man knew it? What kind of relationship do he had between him and her parents?
Without waiting for her to respond, John said his purpose, "I came here to find out about them, because of the necklace..and, my guess was right, you're William and Margaret's biological daughter."
Once again, Hanna was shoved to consternation by John's explanation. So far, his guess was right!
"I found out about your details that mentioned you're from Salt Sins City, same as them. So, it's not hard to guess that you might be one of their close family. With you're here, you've proved me that William and Margaret had a daughter, and that covert child is you.."
Before Hanna even recovered to this, John vehemently continued, by saying, "William Hae and Lia Margaret is my god-father and mother, they adopted me.."
Hanna was stunned!
Not in a world that she would be hearing something unthinkable like this!
She felt her grasp on her gun gradually debilitated. Somehow, she's trembling.."H-How.."
John Yun felt there's a dense melancholic in her voice. He knew, Hanna was frustrated deep inside..
"When I was 10, your father worked at our company as the IT's manager. One day, we met each other in father's office and became close. William asked me if he can be my god-father, I was so excited then and agreed to be his adopted son. From there, he taught me about computer knowledge and trained me to familiarize with it."
Hanna then thought about it too.. She knew that her father used to work in one big technology company before, but the name of the company isn't the same..
Hanna's frowned coldly, "You're lying.."
"What?"
John Yun were stunned. Which part did he tells lies?
"My father never works in The Star Corp company.."
After she said that, John realized it is a misunderstanding. He grinned, "The Star Corp's company is a new name after I took over the company from my father. The previous name was, Lawson Pro's company."
Her eyes bulged in surprised. It's the company that her father had mentioned before!
"The name of the company was to commemorate them in my memory.. so, I named it after the necklace William's gave to me, a jade silver star.." John expressed his grief through his gruff voice..
In contrast, she was in her dissent.. There's no way she'll admit this so easily!
"You're a liar.. You made this whole sh*t up!"
As he heard her crude words, John frowned hard as disappointment became clear on his face, "I'm not made this up. What would made you think I got that necklace if it's not from you father? Isn't that pretty obvious? You and I were already in this mess, therefore, we need each other to see it through!"
"I don't know you, you can make other lie to another lies.." Her voice was staunch as no one could change her beliefs at the moment.
On that note, John became more upset. He caught her gun's barrel with his left hand and looked at her with pair of stern eyes. This shocked Hanna!
"If you don't believe me, at least believe in your father.. He left those necklace to us for a reason!"
John was hoping his words would change her mind. He needs to cooperate with her no matter what!
Alas, the woman's heart was cold as ice!
His hope quickly torn into pieces when Hanna pulled the trigger before him!
Pang! Pang!
His mind froze, the time has stopped..
John stood there beyond disbelief.. She tried to kill him for the third time!
Two bullets was fired but it didn't hit him directly. At the very last moment of his conscious, he managed to evade it..
If it is not for his years of training and plus a good luck on his side, he would be dead..
As he regained his senses, he looked up, alas.. he can't find her anywhere..
Hanna's disappeared again..
His eyes filled with poignant expression and there's lament chocking up his throat..
Now, he regret it.. he wished that he could tell her, that he was sorry for her lost..
He wished, he could comfort her by any means..
He wished, he was there when she's need it the most..
and tells her.. It is okay..
The desire to protect the woman in him became more strong and inevitable..
...
The car drove fast on the highways. Hanna sped up right away after she escaped from the house..
This is insanely absurd..
How could this end up like this?
Then, this thought came to her, reverberating in her mind..
"If you don't believe me, at least believe your father.."
Hanna shook her head frantically in denial. Her mind in absolute mess at the moment..
As she pressed the gas, he drove aimlessly through the city, taken over by her ruffled heart..
For who knows how long, she's been driving on the road like a roller-coaster. Hanna didn't realized, she's been driving around at the same place, again and again..
Eventually.. her car stopped at the same spot, back to where she'd left..
'4th Heaven District'
Her fate seems unmovable, that led her back to this house.. once again..
