Daddy, don't flirt

When he sees her interaction with Dan, he feels surprisingly bitter.
He is probably envious of Dan who is able to be loved by her and hug her at such close proximity. On the other hand, he can
only hide himself and steal glances at her secretly
The Gilbert family has passed down a saying that prevents them from becoming another person’s weakness, including their
closest relatives.
There is a reason Jack can use his unknown younger sister to threaten him.
This is because all he ever wanted is freedom, the right to stand under the sunlight, the right to be seen by her. It doesn’t matter
if he can only be one of her friends.
Ryan has always known that he’s not as harmless as seen in the eyes of Jamie.
He’s selfish, cold-blooded, and in order to reach his goals he will use any means necessary.
“You were adorable when you were young.” After remaining silent for some time, Ryan comments on her while looking at Jamie
without hiding his tenderness.
Jamie is stunned by his stare, she twitches her mouth but no words are coming.
“Your mother’s last mission for me is to protect you at all cost. But in the end, I have betrayed her trust, and let you experience
harm again and again.”
“When you were in England, it was my doing by targeting bunny and you, especially that close call on the road, that’s also
because of me sending someone to do that.”
“After returning to the country, I have turned into Hooson. I can see the sense of familiarity in your eyes. Actually, I am quite
happy that you’ve discovered my true identity. Indeed, there are similarities between Hooson and me, but about me bumping into
you, I have done that purposely.”
Jamie is so shell shocked that she can’t say anything at the moment as images flood her mind. So it turns out that everything
has been planned beforehand.
“Do you still remember when you fell from the hanging wire and it was me who had saved you?” Ryan’s voice is very soft like a
feather lightly brushes through the air, but for Jamie it is as heavy as the lead.

Jamie could never forget that time. She has been feeling sorry for him and not knowing how to repay his kindness. She owes
him her life now because he was willing to put himself in danger when saving her.
She never doubts that it is all a well-planned conspiracy, an unbelievable fraud.
“That was all my doing, to put on a show in front of you. It was all to gain your trust, so that there would be no room for
distrust...”
Slap—
He is still in the middle of his sentence, but suddenly his face cocks to one side, his hair is slightly messy now, and a red imprint
is slowly forming on his pale cheeks.
Jamie is biting her lips hard, as if this can lessen her sadness and suffering. Her hand that has just slapped Ryan is hanging in
midair, before slowly falling down. Her eyes are full of anger and disappointment.
“You have done so much, and you even used your life to gain my trust, do you think this is funny?” Her tone is no longer gentle,
and it is tinged with ice and fury.
Ryan is not surprised at her hitting him. He calmly turns his head towards her, and maintains his smile while looking at her,
“Being angry is not good for your pregnancy.”
“If you don’t want to see me angry, you can get lost now.” Jamie glares at him coldly while handing down the ultimatum.
“You must have never guessed what I have done to you all along using the identities of Ryan and Hooson. Every move by me is
purposeful. You would never have guessed that this was all planned meticulously. I always ask myself, why things would come to
this, when I am the one who doesn’t want to hurt you the most; when I am the one who wants to protect you the most.”
“But every time, I have some part to play in your pain and sufferings.”
He smiles like usual, as smooth as the jade, but there is a hint of sadness mixed within the smile.
“How could I hurt you? Things shouldn’t come to this. You are the last person I would have hurt in this world.” When he comes to
this, he can’t help but cover his face with his palms, his shoulders slightly shuddering now.
Then, Jamie sees a stream of tears flowing down his cheeks, and they end up on the clean and tiny bed sheet.

It would be lie to say that she’s not stunned. In Jamie’s memory, she has never seen him crying, as if he is always the gentle and
calm person he used to be.
This is the first time that she has seen him losing control like this.
Her pink lips are pressed into a line, then Jamie slowly replies him, “There is no way to reverse the suffering, what’s done is
done. Even if you regret your actions, even if you feel sorry for me.”
“The pain and scars inflicted on my body will never cease to exist.”
Ryan trembles violently, as if he’s being given a wake-up call.
“I used to think that you are my best friend in the world. It’s been my pleasure to know you, not only because you have helped
me, but more importantly I can feel your sincerity towards me.”
“I never imagine that this friendship is also a conspiracy by you, this friendship was never real.” Jamie’s eyes darken, and a cold
breeze is sweeping through her empty heart.
She looks up and sees Ryan who is petrified by her and says with clarity, “Ryan, nobody ever forces you to do all of these, as
well as hurting me, it was all you’re doing, yours alone.”
“Jack will never send someone to hurt me even if he wants to get the Myth ring from me. He would gain nothing if something has
happened to me.” Jamie continues.
“Even if he wants to do something to me, he can just cancel my credit card, and leave me powerless in a foreign country. As for
you, I don’t think Jack knows that you have done all of these either.”
When she saw the documents from Dan, she naturally doubt the credibility of it. But now that she has given it a careful thought,
and connects the sea jump incident and what happened in B country, suddenly everything seems possible to her.
Ryan’s flabbergasted face slowly returns to his normal expression as he listens quietly to her while clenching his fists.
“And what are you aiming for by doing all of these? You are not by any means controlled by Jack, but you are willing to act as his
pawn, watching him hurt me, my loved ones and my family.”
As she continues, Jamie’s eyes are full of melancholy, and her gaze slowly transforms into a stranger’s eyes, “Ryan, admit it.
You have become a twisted man. You are no longer that kind big brother who would always try to make me laugh and stop me

from crying. You heart is even more wicked than Jack’s.”
“That big brother in my memory always carries himself with maturity, with eyes so pure and clear. Now, your eyes are beyond
muddy.”
Both of them should be the same person, and each personality could be identified easily, but Jamie would never have thought
that they are the same person.
One is in the light, while the other has sunken into darkness. It is hard to believe they are both the same person.
Ryan is no longer the Night. 9, the Night. 9 that she knows has become part of her irretrievable memories.
