"You want to talk to me, my grandson said?" Trigger turned to the small hut when he heard the old man's voice there.
He bowed slightly because of the stature. "I'm Trigger Knights. I wanted to ask you about something."
The old man laughed awkwardly. "It's a good thing I understand English, ijo. Come on, go ahead, sit down first. What are you going to ask?"
They both sat down on the wooden chair as Trigger observed the old woman.
"Do you still remember Miracle Heaven? I heard you are her favorite maid," she began.
There was a look of joy on the old man's face when he heard that name. "Oh of course, ijo! He's also my favorite pet. That boy is so kind and so beautiful, I really wonder where he has been since he got married. I've never seen him again."
"I'm actually her husband," he said.
The old man seemed even more surprised by what he announced. "Is that so? My pet's wife is so handsome, you're a real thing! Where is he? Do you two have a child?" It's a fun question.
He shook his head. "I'm actually here to ask about her relationship with her parents. Were her parents hurting her then?"
Seeing the sudden passing of sadness in the old man's eyes Trigger confirmed the suspicion.
"It's good that you asked that, ijo. Even though I don't want to go back to the cruelty of my bosses back then, I still can't help but worry about what effect that had on Miracle. To answer your question, yes, many times. By the simple mistake of my pet, they would immediately lock him in a room without a bed and not feed him for a day. I do everything to sneak in and give Miracle food and I do. I feel sorry for that child. so I loved him so much. Even though his parents hurt him, he was still a very happy child. "
He can feel the anger that's building up inside him while listening to the old woman. He felt like he wanted to snatch the two out of jail and strangle them to death.
"There was one more time. A few months before she married you, Miracle raised her voice to the couple because she didn't want to marry someone she didn't know and loved. Suddenly her parents locked her in a room for a week without being fed. Anything I do to smuggle to feed Miracle I can't do because ma'am Olivia catches me. Because of my attempt to help my pet I got fired. But every night, I hear Miracle cry out of hunger, tiredness and fear. "
The old man smiled bitterly at him. "So I want you to take care of that child because he has been through a lot. All the pain he experienced at the hands of his parents is too much so please don't lay a hand on him."
He never did, and he will never do that. He can't do that.
Trigger took a deep breath before taking the picture from his pocket. He handed it to the old woman.
"Have you ever seen Miracle holding that stuffed toy?"
The woman nodded excitedly. "I remember it, it was very important to Miracle because her childhood gave it to her. Wait, ijo."
It turned to the hut. "Rojan! Ijo! Please get the red box under my bed."
Moments later the young man came out of the hut and handed the red box to the old man.
Smiling, the old woman opened it. "This, ijo. I really put this stuffed toy aside because I know it's important to Miracle."
Trigger couldn't believe it with his own eyes. Unbelievably he touched the toy presented by the old man.
It looks exactly the same way when he gave it to Racle back then.
All this time, his first love, Racle, is also his wife, Miracle Heaven.
After talking to the old man and confirming everything he needed to hear, he immediately went straight to the jail where the Fortalejos were.
He already filed a case against them for killing an innocent child and for faking his signature in that waver he never signed.
He sat on the table as he patiently waited for those ass holes to arrive.
When he saw the two walking closer, he immediately clenched his fists.
Olivia smiled at him sweetly. "Are you here because you thought of dropping the case? When are we going out again?" its insolent promise.
"We can help you with your business, Trigger to pay back to your kindness," added a thick -faced Benedict.
Trigger clenched his jaw before placing the papers he's holding on the table. Those are Miracle's medical records.
"I'm not planning to let you live a good life outside the jail. I went here to fucking tell you that you'll never have the chance to see the outside world. Those are Miracle's medical records and I found out that she developed a fucking disorder because of trauma. A trauma that you fucking caused to her. Do you think after what I found out I will let you see that you are breathing peacefully? "He said angrily.
He slammed the table before looking at them with his sharp eyes. But no matter how sharp and brave his eyes were. The tears still did not escape there.
He looked at them with anger, while crying, as he remembered what Miracle had to experience in the arms of these two.
"Because of the two of you, Miracle sees me as a horrible monster. Because of you that's why we both broke up. If it wasn't because of your evil act, I hope until now I'm still with my wife and I took care of her. I hope our two children are still alive! "
He clenched his fists. "Because of the two of you, I failed to protect the child I promised to protect when we grew up. I failed to protect the woman I love most. Because of you, I can't be happy now to think that the woman I love most hates me. I still do! "
He stood up from his seat to look at them for the last time. "I don't know what I would do right now without Miracle by my side. She's my life but you took her away from me. And in return for all that, I'll do everything to witness the two of you crying and suffering. "
