Chapter 332: SHE IS AWAKE

Ramon looked at the man in front of him with an expressionless face, but his whole body naturally emitted a different aura.

Anger, danger… were not the words to describe Ramon Tordoff's current mood, although for now, he said nothing and stood facing the half-living man before him silently.

Axcel.

The man looked like someone who had just gone through all the bad things possible in his life at once and seemed unable to say anything but curled up like a patient.

"Wake him up," said Ramon coldly. He then sat on the sofa opposite Axcel, while David brought a bucket of cold water before splashing Axcel, who immediately screamed and howled in fear.

David deftly used a nearby rag to gag Axcel's mouth. He then pull him into a sitting position.

However, the moment Axcel tried to sit up, he immediately screamed in agony, as if the sofa he was sitting on was made of sharp spikes that hurt him.

Tears flowed from his soulless eyes and streamed down his haggard face.

Axcel had indeed changed into better clothes from before, but now his mental stability was not at all good.

Something had happened to him and it was the worst nightmare he ever had in his life. No. He never even thought that something like that would happen to him, not even in his nightmares.

"Tell him to be quiet," Ramon massaged the bridge of his nose because he felt like his head was being poked with sharp needles. His headache wouldn't subside and the sound of Axcel's screams only added to the pain in his head.

David then whispered something into Axcel's ear, which made him widen his eyes in surprise while fear could be clearly seen on his face.

Axcel immediately nodded and tried to stop his wails, while still trying to tilt his body, because he couldn't sit up properly.

After Axcel nodded fiercely and David was sure that Axcel wouldn't scream again, he removed the rag blocking Axcel's mouth and allowed him to ask Ramon a question.

"Ramon… you…" Axcel stammered. He was afraid to show his anger at Ramon, but on the other hand, he couldn't contain that suffocating thing either. It almost drove him crazy. Axcel felt himself going crazy. "How could you… do that… to me…"

As Axcel said that, the image of what had happened to him until a few moments ago flashed back into his eyes and he shuddered unconsciously. His body was shaking violently from the pain, anger and humiliation he was feeling.

"Of course I can..." Ramon replied casually. "You made my wife lose our first baby, what do you think I can't do?"

The sentence had such a strong effect on Axcel, that it instantly silenced him leaving him speechless.

He had made Ramon lose their first baby, of course it was a big problem. So big that Axcel couldn't imagine what else Ramon would do to him after this.

He was even more afraid of what Ramon just said; what can't he do?

Of course, Ramon's anger was much bigger and his wrath would come very horribly for what Axcel did to Hailee.

Now, it's not impossible that Axcel will never see the outside world again.

However, as before, Ramon was extremely difficult to predict. "If you agree to help me, I'll let you go."

That promise again.

Ramon promised Axcel freedom before, but here he was, experiencing the worst thing of his life.

"You didn't keep your promise..." Axcel said in a trembling voice. "You didn't keep it..."

Ramon just tilted his head when he heard the accusation.

"A good man will keep his word," Axcel started giggling and this made Ramon smile, a thin line that only made his facial expression even more terrifying.

"Too bad I'm not a good man," he said. "But, if you don't want this opportunity, then I won't force it."

Seeing Ramon about to get up from his seat, made Axcel panicky.

"You're really going to forgive me?" he asked in a trembling voice. "You're going to free me?"

"Yes," answered Ramon lightly, as if the word meant nothing to him.

"You'll forget that I hurt your wife and…" Axcel didn't want to bring up this topic, because he could see the change in Ramon's facial expression, but he had to make sure what Ramon promised was true. "Making your wife miscarry… you're going to set me free?"

"Yes," replied Ramon, but this time, the word seemed to be spoken with emphasis. "If you're not sure, you can spend another night here," said Ramon.

Spent another night here?!

Of course, what sane person would be happy with the offer? And Axcel still wasn't crazy to risk the safety of his soul by being in this damned place for another night.

"What… what do you want me to do?" asked Axel. He didn't want to be in that place even for a second longer. "I will do anything, as long as you will free me… and don't look for me anymore…"

David snorted when he heard that, while Ramon readily agreed.

"I just need you to do one thing..." said Ramon.

================ 

Ramon had finished his business with Axcel and was about to go to the office to take care of some problems due to the news of his involvement with Leon Dawson's captivity.

It seemed, at this point, Ramon didn't mind killing himself by making himself work timelessly.

Some people have their own way of dealing with grief and despair and this is Ramon's way of numbing himself to grief that is so great and so foreign to him.

But, before Ramon dived too deep into his work and plans for revenge, David gave him some news.

"Mrs. Tordoff has come to her senses," said David with a beaming face.

And immediately they rushed to the hospital, while Ramon monitored Hailee, who had regained consciousness and was being treated by several doctors there.

Hailee's face wasn't very clear on the screen of his phone, and also because of the several doctors around her, but Ramon was pretty sure that his wife had opened her eyes. He could even see Hailee moving her hand as if to hint at something…

And when he saw that, Ramon felt the knot in his chest loosen a bit. The pain in his chest didn't bother him too much...
