She had never taken all that Vireo had done for her seriously. It was the same as how Jake had treated her back then.
At that moment, Mira held the six-year-old child in her hand, and step by step, she walked towards Jake i n an enchanted manner. "Jake, are you...are you telling the truth? You will love me and my child? You will never...abandon us again?"
Jake nodded solemnly. "Yes! Of course! I am already in such bad shape, so of course, I'll keep my word. I also want to tell you that even though my father received the death sentence and my mother is imprisoned, some of my family's properties are still there. Not only that, but my family more or less has some connections. After you married me, I absolutely will not be like your current man, who is obsequious and also a kept man. Mira, I know that you don't like kept men. You just didn't have a choice back then, right, Mira? He..."
When he said that, Jake suddenly pointed at Vireo. During that time, Vireo had inquired plenty about Vireo. From what he had understood, Vireo was a wimp who relied on a woman to get into the best private hospital in the provincial capital. He relied on a woman to rise to fame in one fell swoop. He was the youngest and most talented surgeon in name only. Looking at the way he acted like a simp in front of
Mira, he was simply a gigolo! It was worse than a gigolo!
"He simply is a bumpkin without any substantial resources! Mira, what exactly do you see in him? Look at his dumb appearance. He is like a dead man! Mira, don't you feel bored living with such a man like him? When you were in college, you liked to dance, watch art films, travel the world so much and you liked romance so much. Can you still get this kind of life being with this man?"
Without a doubt, everything he said was exactly what was on Mira's mind. Vireo indeed could not give her all that. It was not because Vireo was not a romantic, but he had spent most of his energy on treating and saving the lives of others. Also, Vireo was a person whose actions speak louder than words. He had never been one to whisper sweet nothings. However, Mira seemed to like honeyed words. That made her have a refreshing sense of comfort.
She gently looked at Jake. "Jake, are you telling the truth? You'll watch movies with me and travel to every corner of the world with me in the future? You'll dance with me? Is that all real?"
"No! There's our child as well. We, a true family of three, will go to the movies together and we'll travel to every corner of the world together. We will forever be together as a family of three," Jake said with deep affection.
Speaking of that, Jake looked at the six-year-old child.
"Sonny as well. Look at me, Sonny. Are you willing to call me 'Dad?' I am your biological father. This is your biological mother. From now on, you will no longer be an orphan anymore. You're a child with a father and a mother. Sonny, hurry, come into my arms."
Oddly enough, perhaps this was simply the relationship by blood, when the six-year-old child heard Jake calling for him, he actually really moved towards Jake one step after another. He was mumbling, "Dad...dad...dad...."
"Get over here quickly!" Jake shouted excitedly.
At the same time when the child was moving towards Jake, Mira also could not help but walk towards Jake with one step after another. She did not think about what her legally married husband, Vireo, was feeling a t that moment. She had forgotten that she had a husband and was already married. She had forgotten that her husband was by her side. Perhaps in Mira's heart, Vireo would never be worthy enough to lose his temper.
At that moment, Vireo went from being silent and in a daze at first to having a blank mind. After that, he went from having a mind that was completely blank t o slowly regaining his senses. He just looked coldly at the family of three in front of him.
It was after Mira had gotten to the front of Jake that Vireo uttered a few words coldly, "Guess how fast would it take if a surgeon like me were to kill someone?"
