Chapter 1200
Taking a breath, Sherman looked at Kingsley and said, "Don't forget about me and Cody. Don't be impulsive."
She stood outside the door. She couldn't hear what they were saying, so she put her ear to the door.
"Anyway, I'd like to say sorry to you for all the wrong things I've done," Luke looked at Kingsley with serious eyes.
At this time, Kingsley wasn't as gentle as usual. His face was full of alienation and indifference, and it was cold as if it was coated with a layer of frost. He said, "If your apology is useful, there will be no law in the world..."
"I know you'll never forgive me, and I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I deserve to pay for my mistakes, but I have one favor to ask of you." Luke said slowly, "I don't have many friends. The only one I can trust is you. When I'm in prison, I hope you can take care of my kid and my company. I don't trust anyone but you..."
Even Luke felt he was asking too much, but there was nothing else he could do.
"I'm sorry, friend," Luke propped himself up on his hands and stood up. As he passed by Kingsley, he reached out his hand and took Kingsley's hand in his. Then he patted Kingsley's chest in the same way he usually did when they greeted each other and said with a smile, "Forgive me. And take care, friend..."
'Friend, you are my forever friend in this life. Even if you don't regard me as a friend, and even if we are like strangers from now on, I will regard you as my friend forever.'
Kingsley slightly moved his eyes and fingers but didn't say anything. After he had left, Kingsley took out his cell phone and made a phone call.
Sherman ran in and asked, "Where did Luke go?"
"He must have gone to the police station..." He said when he untied the tie around his neck.
Sherman was anxious. She looked at Kingsley, grumbled discontentedly and clamoured to stop Luke. She was a little angry and didn't want to talk to him.
Kingsley spread his long and attractive legs slightly and gazed at her. His voice was soft but a little unpleasant, "Honey, are you angry with me right now about someone who doesn't matter?"
Sherman ignored him, thinking that she had failed in completing the important task that the rest of the family had entrusted her with.
She hadn't talked much to Kingsley all day. She held Cody in her arms and coaxed him. Cathy, Aaron and Tonell were packing up, and they were going back to Lanechett tomorrow.
The next night, when they were ready to drive from the villa to the airport, Kingsley asked Cathy, Aaron and Tonell to go first, and he wanted to take Sherman somewhere.
Sherman was confused. She asked him where they would go, but he didn't answer. When they arrived, she learned that he had brought her to the police station.
The policeman at the police station treated them very warmly. Kingsley's attitude was neither distant nor intimate. He shook hands with the policeman indifferently.
As the two of them sat in the office, the policeman made them coffee. They didn't drink the coffee. Kingsley simply told the policeman, "Release him, please."
The policeman knew who Kingsley was talking about, so he asked, "Mr. Wright, are you taking him back to the mental hospital now?"
The mental hospital? Sherman was confused. She didn't know what was going on?
"Here's what happens. Mr. Wright called the police the day before yesterday. He said a friend of his was mentally disturbed and was coming to the police station to confess to kidnapping someone. He told us to keep his friend for a couple of days and then let his friend go when he comes to the police station and say that he wants to take his friend away."
After hearing what the policeman had said, Sherman put all the pieces together. And in an instant, she figured it out. She pinched Kingsley's hand under the table and said with a smile, "You did it on purpose. You have forgiven him."
Kingsley smiled and gently pinched her nose, "I forgave him at the last minute..."
Maybe it was the moment their hands touched. Maybe it was the moment Luke patted him on the chest in their unique way. Or maybe it was the moment he said, 'Take care, friend.'
