Sania's body trembled in fear as the wall behind her was slightly hollowed out due to the shot deliberately released by Lean. The woman releases Caitlyn and moves away, but Nathan quickly changes his position to keep Caitlyn hostage.
“You think I'm afraid of you? Try shooting again and you will see that not only is your wife injured this time, but you will also lose your baby that you did not admit to and you doubted before,” challenge Nathan bravely.
Lean's heart flinched hearing the words that were true. However, he did not want to show a sense of regret that would only look weak in front of Nathan. The man clucked as he stepped closer towards Caitlyn.
“Do it! I want to see it,” said Lean relaxed once.
The man now stands about a meter in front of Caitlyn and Nathan.
“Lean! Aren't you sane?” sergeant Hadya.
He was furious at Lean's reply which seemed to be unconcerned about Caitlyn and her son's condition.
“For now, anyone can say that, Pa. And I do not mind at all because I am not sane at this time,” said Lean to her father.
His father was just about to reply to him, but Lean had already given the code by calling someone in. Everyone fell silent and saw what Lean was doing.
From the door, two strangers appeared who looked like they were holding a woman hostage. Nathan and Sania panic.
“Lean! What the hell are you doing? She's your sister too!” sentak Sania who then hysterically.
The handsome man smiled demonically and turned to face the hostage victim who was none other than Cecilia. Revolver who was still in his hands, now he pointed right at Cecilia's head.
“I don't care! Give me back my wife and son, and you take your son.”
What a handsome face that was intermittently flat, intermittently smiling, intermittently laughing that was, it was very hard to read. One thing's for sure, he's out of his mind tonight and whatever he's gonna do.
Nathan still didn't falter and kept Caitlyn.
“Do you have the heart to kill a man of one blood with you for another woman? Stop your madness, Bang!” snapped Nathan.
“I'm not here to listen to you still advice from you, asshole! I'm here to pick up my wife and son.” Lean began to growl. It seems like the limit of his patience is running out.
Deep down, he could not bear to see Caitlyn's condition being so broken and clearly frightened. From earlier the handsome man avoided his gaze so as not to be fixed on the beautiful eyes that always thrilling his heart.
“You still don't want to change your mind and still want to hold my wife? What if this thing explodes in your sister's head?” ask Lean.
“No, no, Lean! Mama please don't do that!” Sania begged her stepson, then turned to her biological son again. “Let him go, Nathan!” he asked with both hands pleading.
“No going, Ma!” Nathan firmly.
“Alright, meaning you prefer to end your sister's life.” Lean pulled the trigger.
The gesture did not hesitate it actually gave a threat to Nathan who had insisted that he did not want to release Caitlyn. With a single move he immediately pushed Caitlyn's body just like that.
Meanwhile, Cecilia's body just bounced away as Lean pushed her hard. Nathan, angry and feeling defeated, was about to throw the knife he was holding. However, Lean saw that quickly and immediately fired a precise shot at Nathan's arm.
Nathan groaned in pain but Lean did not care in the slightest. He was busy scanning his wife's body.
“Are you okay?” ask him lowly.
For some reason, Caitlyn could not answer that simple question. He was only able to stare in the face that a few days ago made him so stressed, as well as the one he loved so much.
“Sh*it! He hurt you.” Angry at the sight of a scratch on Caitlyn's neck.
Lean took her hug off Caitlyn's body and was about to turn to Nathan, but Caitlyn held him back weakly at the end of the hoodie she was wearing.
“Enough, Al! I'm not okay-why.” Just wanted to talk.
Caitlyn raised her hand which was still in a bound state. Realizing that, Lean quickly opened the rope and also the bond on the foot. Her heart was hot to see the scars that left blisters on Caitlyn's smooth skin.
“Under already there is an ambulance, directly to the hospital, well.” Lean spoke with great attention.
“Whose name?” ask Caitlyn.
Not immediately answering, Lean turned to her father who now seemed busy taking care of Sania, Nathan, Tamara, and Cecilia. The middle-aged man was helped by Jerry and some of their men, so the four men could do nothing.
“Sama papa, well,” replied Lean briefly.
Caitlyn was silent for quite a while then said then, “Why aren't you the same?” his gaze was implied with hope.
“Kan used to be the same papa? I have not finished their business, ” replied Lean as it is and it is like that.
“If this time want to be with you how?” His attitude that once appeared again.
But this time it was different. If he used to do just to make Lean angry and annoyed at him, this time he did because indeed he wanted to be like that and what is.
Lean who saw that also smiled a little because it was as if she had regained the once annoying Caitlyn in her eyes. But this time he really liked to see it. He looked at his father again.
“Pa, I want anterin Caitlyn to the hospital. But after that I came back here because my business is the same they're not done yet. Besides, there's something extraordinary that I want to show you all. So make sure they stay here until I get back.”
Caitlyn was suddenly happy but also curious.
Extraordinary thing?
