"This is the 9th time you sabotaged a surgery!" Logan Jin roared the moment he entered Liam Jin's study.
"It's the 8th time," Liam Jin corrected as he took another long drag of the lit cigarette clipped in between his middle and index finger while his feet were languidly placed on his desk.
"DAMON! What are you trying to do? Do you want to destroy our Jin family for medical malpractice?!" Logan Jin's voice raised, dismayed for the fact that his son alter ego took dominance of him for the past three months.
"Uh, no, daddy dear. If I wanted to destroy this family, I already did three months ago." Liam Jin uttered in a matter of factly tone. He was unaffected if his father would die from anger as he doesn't care. After all, if he died, Liam would get all the inheritance and won't hear his nagging. Alas, even though the idea was good, Damon doesn't want to bother and waste his energy.
"I just want my dearest fiance in my arms, why not find her instead and I'll leave your precious hospital alone," Liam added with a sly grin on the side of his lips. Indeed, the Liam Jin before Logan Jin's eyes wasn't his son but a demon -- a pure sadistic devil.
Logan Jin was confounded of the strong reason why Damon took control of his precious son Liam. Is it because he was under too much stress -- pressure? Is it because of Seraphina? Logan Jin was uncertain but what's clear to him was Damon was getting out of hand. Alas, none of them could do anything about it as Damon would do underhanded means and wouldn't let them be put to sleep, again.
God knows what he'd do this time if Logan Jin made a reckless decision. Recalling the past, they paid a huge price to bring Liam back several years ago. What's more, now that Liam is a grown capable man? The outcome would be dire if Logan Jin didn't abide by his condition.
"Seraphina Yue? I'll find her for you if that's what you want." Logan Jin affirmed through his gritted teeth. Though he was disappointed by Seraphina's behavior, Logan Jin understood her reasoning as it was his negligence as the head of the Jin family that nearly fastened the late Sebastian Yue. After all, Seraphina only wished for her grandfather to die a natural death in peace -- nothing more, nothing less.
Moreover, the Jin family owed the great Sebastian Yue a huge debt. Hence, Logan Jin warned Seraphina as he was afraid of this, of her knowing Liam's darkest secret. Alas, now that what he feared has already happened, then, Logan Jin was left with no choice but to save his own family than protect Sebastian Yue's beloved granddaughter.
'Uncle Yue, I must receive my retribution for putting your precious little girl in a complicated situation.' Logan Jin remorsefully apologized as he was reminded of the kind-hearted smiling Sebastian Yue.
"But… why are you obsessing over her?" Logan Jin questioned. Granting that he knew that his son truly love the girl, alas, Damon is a different case.
To simplify, though Damon resides inside Liam's body, alas, both showed different interest. It's like two people lived in the same body which terrifies Logan Jin ever since.
"Ohh, that's because for once, Liam and I, finally had the same interest -- he foolishly loved her for years due to her pure innocence while I'm grateful to her!" Liam Jin gleefully affirmed changing tones from one to another. Yet, as he said his last remarks, a lingering danger went through the lines which weren't overlooked by Logan Jin.
Seeing the face of his son as he bore a maniac look, it instantly sent cold shrill on his spine. In Logan Jin's perspective, he doesn't recognize Liam anymore this time. It gave him the feeling that his filial and kind son would never come back and only this vicious side of him will remain and devour the original Liam.
"Eya~, don't give me that look, I just want Seraphina Yue and not the one you've been throwing at me -- she seemed... tasteless. No challenge at all." Liam tilted his head with a stultify look plastered across his front.
Logan Jin gritted his teeth which caused his jaw to tighten. In his heart, he failed as a father; ever since that incident from years back. Now, not only him but also his son was now paying the price for it.
Just then, a loud notification sound indicating an incoming message broke the stifling atmosphere inside Liam's study.
Liam glanced at the screen and grinned seeing Nathalie's name. "Speaking of that girl, since I'm as filial as ever, I must abide by my father's wishes."
Hearing what Liam just said, Logan Jin's eyes widened in disbelief. He froze that very instant as his heart throb louder than it should be.
"Damon, not that family--"
"I'm just acting just as you wish, what's the fuzz?" Liam abruptly interrupted his father's sentence midway with a sly smirk on the corner of his lips.
He languidly stood and grabbed for his uncreased jacket suit before he began taking a stride towards the door. As he passed by Logan Jin, he muttered.
"No worries, I won't hurt her…" And then Liam resumed taking slow strides, he added when he reached the door;
"... just a bit." Liam then exited leaving Logan Jin in a panic-stricken situation.
