Chapter 400 - Gray

Kennedy was very much stressed. He glared at Gray who only shrugged. He grabbed the drive from his hand. 

"I am so fucking done with you!" He exclaimed. 

"Wait~ Our relationship just started!" Gray said. "I'm sorry. I can't say no to your grandfather. I apologize." He looked at Kennedy with full sincerity. "But, I saw something. I don't know if you want to watch it." 

"No. Not now! I had seen enough." Kennedy's blood kept rushing up to his head. He was furious at Gray. Now, the old man had a heart attack after seeing how his dear granddaughter died. He left, leaving Gray speechless. He was about to release the most exciting news but somehow, Kennedy wasn't even interested. 

So, he went to his bed and dropped his body. Gray stared at the ceiling as he grinned while thinking of the woman from the video. She's a badass. A dangerous woman and he loves danger so much. Maybe if the Serpent would start capturing people from the Rossie Empire, they might have taken her. He will have her by himself. 

"Okay, I will work this out then." He wasn't just a Psychiatrist of The Serpent but he's indeed connected to Lefebure. He might not be an actual Lefebure but his ancestor was once a noble from the Paradis Evergarden. 

He sat up and went to the Facility by himself. He looked around and went down to the children's room. They are currently reading a few things. But since he brought something for them, he's sure that they will be happy. 

Somehow, their attitude became grimmer than yesterday. 

"What's wrong?" He asked them. They were lively before Victor became a fully controlled assassin of this Empire. 

The children didn't answer. But the youngest among them was pouting, his lips even wobbled trying to conceal his emotions. 

He felt bad for these children. They were orphans and when they thought that they would have a fantastic life. But in the end, they become lab rats. People here are surely heartless. 

"How about I take you out to the park?" he suggested. 

"I apologize to Doctor Gray, but they can't leave now." The nurse attending them said. 

"Just two hours." He said. " I will speak to the commander." 

He left the pastries and candies for them. Then, he went out directly to the training area. Seeing Victor's poker face made him cringe. He bet that Victor was tired physically and mentally. 

"Doctor Gray, you need to step back." One of the agents said. 

"Victor," He called the poor guy who looked at him with those blank eyes. "Hannah Grace." He said, however, there's no trace of any emotions. "I'm taking out the kids so they can have fresh air." He didn't ask but simply stated his words. 

He then left. 

"You can't!" 

"I am not asking for permission. If you want those kids to do something you wanted, you need to give them a little happiness." 

He went back to the kid's room. 

"Alright, get up guys." He said cheerfully. "We are going somewhere today!" 

They didn't look excited and the nurse who was attending them frowned. 

"Come on. Let's go to the park and buy everything you like." 

"Yay!" The little guy exclaimed as some only followed him. 

"Go and change your clothes into something better." He smiled at them.

Johanna was done pumping all of the milk from her breast. She needs to leave soon. It's been days now and although she will miss her little one, she needs to go. 

"Milk?" Kal asked her while Connor was busy collecting all of the packs of milk. Sooner or later, Quinn needs to stick with formula milk. 

"Yup. It is for Quinn." 

Kal looked at Quinn who was busy smiling at her mother. Quinn even held Johanna's face as Johanna shoved her face to her tummy and kissed it. Quinn giggled as her little hand grabbed her mother's hair. She giggled again when Johanna blew on her tummy. 

"Okay, that's it. You are heavy." Johanna carefully placed Quinn over her lap and hugged her. She gave a lot of kisses to Quinn as Violet shortly came and hugged Kal and kissed his head. 

"Come on, we are leaving," Violet said. 

Johanna sighed and looked at her adorable baby. 

"I'm sorry, baby girl." She kissed Quinn's lips. "Mommy has to work." 

Quinn stared at her for a long time. 

"Daddy will be with you. Okay?" 

Violet then caressed Kal's hair. 

"You take care of Quinn, right baby?" 

"Kay!" Kal bounced his head. 

Connor left with the milk and came back shortly. That's when Johanna gave Quinn to him. Their little Princess started crying. Although it hurt Johanna to leave her baby Princess, she must go. 

"I will be back. Soon enough." Johanna kissed Quinn as the baby's hand quickly grabbed her hair. "Okay!" Johanna winced. Connor quickly held Quinn's hand as Johanna tried to open her strong fist. Quinn continued to wail, tears rolled down her cheeks. After Johanna had let go from her baby's grasp, she wiped Quinn's tears. 

"Baby, I'm sorry. Mommy will be back soon enough." 

"I got it," Connor mumbled and carefully coaxed Quinn. 

Johanna rushed to the nearest bathroom to wash up before leaving. This is more frustrating than before. She didn't know if she would go back. But since she promised him that she will come back no matter what, she will do it for the sake of her love and their baby. 

"Jo, we have to go," Violet called her. 

Johanna fixed her hair and quickly opened the door. Then, they hopped into the car and Violet drove it back to the main city. It was an hour's drive. She's tired from all of the breast pumping so she fell asleep. She also has a blanket over her so she won't get a fever. Her nutrients were already in her baby's stock milk and she felt a little chilly. 

They finally arrived at the mall where they were going to pick some stocks. She's also starving. 

"I want yogurt or whatever. A lot of calories." She said as she took her purse. 

"You look messy," Violet said. 

She carefully pulled the mirror and checked her face. She sighed and put something on the light. Then, she put on black Rayban sunglasses and opened the car door. The two went inside the mall. They already have the list of food to buy since both of them need a big amount of calories. They got in and took out the food that they wanted.

"This yogurt is amazing," Violet told her. They are like an instant sister since they are indeed sisters-in-law after Violet married her sister. 

They waited for their orders and she was chilling while sipping on her lemonade. 

"This is good." She told Violet who was already sipping on a different flavor. 

"Yeah." 

"But why am I drinking cold?" Johanna mumbled, still groggy. Then suddenly a little boy in blue and green stripes of a polo shirt. He smiled and extended a flower to her. She tilted her head and stared down at the little creature. The little boy looked too familiar. "What?" She asked coldly. 

"Well, Mr. Gray said that you are beautiful. So, I am giving you a flower because he liked you." 

"Gray?" Johanna scoffed and bent down to the little guy. "Tell him that I am not interested. But you are adorable." 

The little boy looked to his right and she also followed the boy. The man, wearing casual clothes, was grinning and waved at her. From Johanna's point of view, he's not bad at all. From one look, she knew that he was a little similar to Connor's personality. Yet it happened. But she wasn't attracted to him. 

"Well," Johanna smiled down at the little boy. "I can accept that flower if it came from you. But not that guy. I don't know him. And you shouldn't talk to strangers." 

"You are pretty." The little boy said and looked at Violet. "She was pretty too." 

"I know." Violet even flipped her wig-ombre hair. "Boy, tell that guy that this beautiful woman is married. Okay?" 

The boy looked down at the flower. 

"Then, I am giving this to you because I picked it." 

Johanna smiled and accepted the flower. Then, she kissed the boy's left cheeks and whispered. 

"Tell Victor that I am coming for him." She whispered. 

The boy turned his head to his left with wide eyes. Johanna smiled and patted his head. 

"Thank you. Now, it's a secret." 

He nodded his head and stared at her for a long time. Then, he ran back to his group. Gray knelt one knee to speak to him while the girls with him were giggling. 

"She's married." The boy told him. Gray wasn't shocked at all. 

"It's fine." He said and walked past the boy and still waved at Johanna. 

Johanna only raised her left ring finger, turned back, and took their food. The little boy covered his mouth and giggled. 

"What?" Gray asked him as the boy shook his head. 

"Why are you after a married woman? Besides, she's too pretty." 

"Hmm," Gray crossed his arms. "Do you want ice cream or not?" He asked him.. "Anyway, let's go and get that ice cream."
