Chapter 821

Kensley’s POV: As we were talking, the phone vibrated in my pocket. The phone rang like an explosion. Seeing the name on the phone, I was so shocked that I almost dropped the plate of rice in my hand. I hurriedly put down my plate and walked to a secluded corner to answer the call, “Hi…” Pete’s sinister voice could be heard from the other end, “Doctor Leach, it’s already the fifth day today. How is the progress?” I felt my scalp tingle. I stammered, “Mr. Pete, can you talk to President Yanice on my behalf? Please give me few more days. I have already made a move a few days ago. I was almost discovered. I don’t have any chance for making another move now. Don’t worry, I will think of something better.” Pete hesitated for a few moments before saying, “Alright, I will give you another five days. If you can’t settle it, you know the consequences!” “I know, I know!” I assured Pete. After hanging up, I was covered a layers of sweat. In the afternoon, I was not in the mood to work. I could only take a sick leave and rush back home, uneasy. Now that people around Evan were on high alert. I couldn’t find a chance to kill him. Meanwhile, Marlowe was pressuring me again. “I should just run away with my wife,” I thought. Back home, without a word, I dragged out my suitcase and placed my passport and back card inside. “Hubby, why are you off work so early today? Why are you packing your things?” My wife was stunned and looked at me in confusion. I could not be bothered to explain. I urged my wife anxiously, “Honey, let’s pack up quickly. We will have to leave the city today. Hurry up and put your passport and valuables in! We will go to Pedrana for a while first!” Kensley’s Wife’s POV: I was shocked when she heard that, thinking that there must be something wrong with him. “Hubby, are you running a high fever today? If you leave the city, what will happen to your work? What will happen to our home?” “Let’s not worry about that for now. Right now, our priority is to stay alive.” Kensley said as he packed a few clothes, “Pack your things.” “Honey, what happened?” I continue asking. “Don’t ask anymore. In short, it’s a very tricky matter. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late.” He retorted. Just then, the doorbell rang. “Ding dong, ding dong!” “There is someone at the door. I open it!” I said. Kensley quickly went forward to hold me back, “No, don’t open the door….” “Dear, what was wrong with you? I just ordered food delivery. It must be here!” I replied. With that, I shook my husband's hand and went to open the door. The security door opened. Two tall, well-built men in suits stood outside the door. “Who are you?” My asked. A man chuckled, “Oh, we are friends of Doctor Leach!” “Oh, come on in then!” I invited. Kensley’s POV: I happened to walk out of the room with my suitcase when I saw Pete and the other man stroll in. When our eyes met, I was stunned. “Doctor Leach, where are you going so late at night?” Pete asked. “Oh, nowhere…” I muttered. My wife still didn’t know what happened. She enthusiastically poured glasses of water for them and told the two, “Sit down and have a glass of water.” “Thank you, sister-in-law! You are quite pretty. You are seven months pregnant, right?” Peter smiled sinisterly while asking. “That’s right!” My wife replied! “Congratulations!” Pete responds. “Thank you!” My wife said! “Mr. Logan, why don’t… we talk outside?” I stammered. “No need. We just came to see you and your sister-in-law. I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to be so beautiful.” Pete replied. A trace of fear appeared in my eyes. I was lost for words, “I… I…” “What’s wrong? Is there a problem? Or is it too difficult for you to complete?” Pete said. “No, it’s not! I will do my best!” I tried to assure Pete. “Honey, what are you talking about?” My wife asked. Pete continued to smile sinisterly, “We are discussing surgery with Doctor Leach. Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Doctor Leach’s medical skills are superb. “Go to your room first. I have something to discuss with my friend.” I instructed my wife. “Oh, okay…” My wife said as she quickly went into the room, even though she was at loss. “Doctor Leach, are you trying to play tricks?” Pete hollered. “I think of a way this time! Please believe me and give me another chance. I am begging you. Give me another chance. I will think of a good idea.” I said as I knelt on the ground. “Don’t try any more tricks. We are watching you all the time. We will know if anything happens to you.” Pete warned. “Yes, yes, I understand!” I tried to assure Pete. “Let’s go!” He commanded his man and walked away. Pete has successfully intimidated me into obedience. My wife came out of the room and felt uneasy. She asked, Hubby, who are they? Did you commit a crime? Tell me quickly!” “It’s okay! It’s okay! I can handle it!” I tried to assure my wife. “Really?” My wife asked. I smiled at my wife and comforted me, “Yes, you have to take care of the baby. Don’t think too much about anything else.”
