Chapter 38. Cute

Scorpion was fast enough. He pushed the devil and took the bullet that was meant for him.

The devil turned and shot the soothing killer right between his eyes before he turned to Scorpion, whose left arm was profusely bleeding from the gunshot.

Everything happened so fast.

Kon slowly opened his eyes.

He half expected to see the soothing killer squatting in front of him, instead, he saw a white ceiling.

He blinked, to be certain he wasn't dreaming.

The last thing he recalled was…

“The devil?”

His voice alerted Toto, who was arranging flowers beside his bed.

“Mom!” She rushed over to his side. “Mom! You are awake.” She jumped on his bed, and hugged him, not minding the IV on his palm and the grimace on his face.

“Mom!”

“Toto!” The devil yelled the moment he rushed into the room.

He was standing outside the door when he heard her shouts, only to rush in to see his daughter almost strangling Kon, in joy.
