A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 123

"I don't know."

Kevin signs as he knows that he can only get the answer like this, "I know. Just forget it. I’m going to investigate it."

As Kevin is about to leave, Jonathan remembers that there is one more thing to do. "They don't care what happens to you and that’s okay," he says,"If I don't care about your body, your brother will kill me."

Kevin takes a seat, "Jonathan, I haven't asked you seriously what my brother used to be like. And I accidentally saw a different version of him today."

Ellison is always gentle or cold in front of Kevin who has never gotten chance to see Ellison acting like that.

When Jonathan hears that, he pauses in his hand, "Is he exposed now?"

Kevin nods, it should be exposed.

Jonathan sighs, "Your brother..."

Then he sits down as he speaks, seeming to have a long conversation.

"Your brother had a hard time, as you might have known about his early days, and It was not till then that I came to him. He was a little better then."

Kevin's heart suddenly begins to beat very fast, "Yes, I understand."

Jonathan gives him a meaningful look, "No, you don't understand. You don't understand at all. At that time someone quietly told me that he didn't treat everyone like this."

Kevin raises his eyebrows and says, "As far as I know, he didn't have a girlfriend at that time, right?"

Jonathan nods. "No, but..."

He stops, as if he realizes that he slips his tongue. He takes a quick sip of his cigarette, slowly exhaling it and continuing to say, "He can suppress his anger well around that person. It is simply because that the person doesn't like his rascally manner."

Kevin nods as he were listening to the story of someone else. "That person must be special to my brother, right?"

Jonathan gives him a strange look in his eyes,"Maybe."

Kevin says to himself, "I don't know there is anyone who can be special to my brother."

So he asks excitedly, "Jonathan, do you know who that one is?"

Jonathan shakes his head, "Don't talk about it any more. It is not so polite to gossip the departed."

"This person reminds me of my mother. She often says that she doesn't like the way my eldest brother acts. I didn't expect anyone else to have the same views as my mother."

Jonathan opens his mouth, as if he wants to say something, but at last he simply sighs and takes a smoke.

If someone can keep naive, just let him be naive all his life.

Kevin is still talking to himself. Noticing the change of the expressions on Jonathan's face, he finally stops that topic and says, "Please help me check my body, I have to go back."

Jonathan gives him a look of disgust, "Why do you need to have a good body if you can't even protect your wife?"

Kevin freezes like choking in his throat.

"By the way, my daughter's birthday is on the day after tomorrow. Would you like to come for dinner?"

Jonathan gets shocked, "When did you have a daughter?"

...

"Haven’t I told you?"

...

"My fault. Will you come?"

"Why not? I want to see the little girl."

"I warn you, do not lay hands on my daughter. Or I'll hit you so hard that even my brother won't recognize you."

Tory standing on the side can not hold back his laughing out.

Jonathan looks at Tory and says, "That's my type."

Tory is so scared that he gives a belch, "Well, my heart belongs to someone else."

Jonathan laughs and says, "I’m just kidding."

Tory breaths a sigh of relief. He can’t get used to the jokes like this one.

"Ha ha, are you frightened?"

Kevin laughs and looks at him from the side, "You are really timid."

Tory rolls his eyes, turning around and leaning on the body of Kevin, "oh, My Kevin."

...

Kevin is so frightened that he pushes Tory to the ground, "Stay away from me!"

Tory laughs on the ground and shakes uncontrollably, "You have no right to criticize me."

Kevin dusts himself down, "Fuck off, what a..."

Tory smiles as he feels enough, then he gets up from the floor and says seriously, "Jonathan, you can send me the prescription after the examination. I will go to study it then."

Jonathan nods his head.

"Put your hand out."

He says to Kevin, "I'll feel your pulse first. Tomorrow I'll ask someone to take a blood test for you. Then I'll give you a detailed analysis."

Kevin nods, obediently stretches out his arm, "Go ahead."

Jonathan begins to touch the pulse, "your body is a little bit weak."

Kevin feels Jonathan’s eyes are a little bit wretched, so he replies, "I’m not weak."
