Chapter 182 - Just As Expected



"You always put up with everything ever since you were young," Peter Jung said. Once again, his actions the day before crossed his mind and torment him.

For someone like the Prime Minister who was always blinded by rage, his son and this nephew of his were the only ones who could make him regret his actions. He always tried to hold back himself but... he always failed. This was in his blood.

"What did the doctor say?" Peter Jung asked Mathias after quietly staring at him for a while.

"You don't have to worry, uncle. I will be fine after resting for a few days. You should concentrate more on your work," Mathias calmly said.

He wasn't putting up an act. No matter what his uncle did to him, he was convinced that he would never hold a grudge against him. His uncle had every right and besides, it was his fault this time. If only his uncle knew what he did... he didn't even want to think further.

Peter Jung let out a sigh when he looked at Mathias's face. "Alright. After you recovered, tell me what you want. I will do anything to make up to you."

"There's no need for that. You already did enough for me," Mathias promptly said.

Peter Jung gently patted his hands. "How will I face your father in the afterlife after behaving that way? I should do everything I can to mend my mistake."

His words put Mathias Jung in a daze. He knew that he was one of the very few people whom his uncle truly cared about but... he never expect him to say such words. For the first time, he questioned the decision he made yesterday.

Was it wrong of him to release that woman? He knew that his uncle always placed trust in him.

"Take your time and think about it," Peter Jung said as he rose from his seat. He glanced down at Mathias and gently patted him on the right shoulder. "I have a meeting, so I have to leave now. I will come again once I have the time."

Mathias tried to stand up but the Prime Minister hold him back. "You don't have to see me out. Concentrate on your recuperation."

"I understand," Mathias replied with a nod and Peter Jung walked out of the room right away.

The moment his uncle left, Mathias attention was completely shifted to the bathroom on the right where Cassandra was hiding. He tried to walk there but... the door was opened and Cassandra came out.

When Mathias recalled his conversation with his uncle, he let out a sigh. This woman heard too much!

"You should leave before I change my mind. Don't show your face here again," he firmly said to the Moyan Boss who was walking towards him.

"You regret now?" Cassandra asked. "Then why did you do it?"

"Is that important?" Mathias snapped and let out another sigh. "Shouldn't you just be grateful and live a life far away from me?"

"That's not how I live my life," Cassandra retorted. She bravely met Mathias gaze like she always did before.

He already knew how stubborn this woman was yet it always shook Mathias Jung. Did she really have no fear?

"You already knew my relationship with the Prime Minister," he said, firmly glancing at Cassandra. "My uncle trusts me a lot but I let him down on purpose. I'm regretting a lot right now, so... you should leave if you don't want to put yourself in danger again."

Meeting Mathias's gaze, Cassandra frowned. "I only want to know one thing. If you really want me gone, just answer my question. What is your reason for letting me go?"

Mathias felt helpless. This tenacious woman. Can't she just give up? He will surely die if his uncle was to find out what he did!

"You said that it's tormenting to feel responsible for the crime which you didn't commit. You said that it's hell and if you give in, it will be worse than before. Didn't you say that you have to make up to someone? I just help you to achieve that."

His response was so unexpected and it put Cassandra in a daze. That was his reason? "Why?" she asked. "That has nothing to do with you."

"I've been there and I know how it feels to be in such a situation," Mathias snapped. When he realized what he just said, he let out a breath and shut his eyes. "You know what you want. Leave now," he added in a much lower voice.

The door to his hospital room was opened and Alan just walked inside after seeing off the Prime Minister. When Mathias noticed his friend's presence, he quickly turned to him. "Let her leave. I don't want to see her again."

With that said, Alan grabbed Cassandra's hands and pulled her out of the room. This time, the Moyan Boss didn't protest at all. She was still in a daze as she was too surprised by Mathias response. As such, she quietly followed Alan out.

When Alan returned to the room after a while, she noticed that Mathias was still standing at his place. His gaze was fixated on the floor and he didn't make any movement.

"Are you alright? What happened?" he asked Mathias.

A few seconds passed until Mathias finally lifted his head. "Let someone watch over her room. She shouldn't come here again." He paused and sat on the bed. "My uncle might come again anytime. If he sees her, everything will be a mess."

Alan quietly stared at his friend who didn't seem to be okay at all. However, he knew that he won't answer him even if he decided to be persistent. As such, he nodded. "Alright. Have some rest."

When night arrived, Nicole was in her house with Aston. They were chatting with each other and talked about how they spend the day. As usual. Nicole was busy working while Aston had a rest now that he finally completed filming the project he was working on.

However, their rare peaceful time was interrupted when they heard the sound of the doorbell. Nicole walked to the door and through the video doorbell, she realized that it was Alex Jo. He didn't seem to be well and that made her opened the door immediately.

After a while, Alex Jo walked inside her house. It had been a while since Nicole saw him and she heard that he was taking a leave to look after his sick mother.

When Aston saw the one who entered the house, he quickly walked over to Nicole. Besides, the blood on the man's forehead made him understood that something wasn't right.

"What happened to your head?" Nicole promptly asked her ex-lover as she took a step towards him.

"There isn't time for that," Alex Jo said as he shook his head. "The Minister is abducted. I don't know who they are."

Nicole's eyes grew wide and she quickly shifted her gaze to Aston who was standing beside her. "Peter Jung?"

"I think that's the case," Aston uttered and glanced at his wristwatch. "Just as expected, he makes a move pretty fast."
