Chapter 104 Promise
"Sit here, I want us to eat together. It's been too long since we've spent time together, and of course, I miss it."
Julia said this with such honesty. She no longer cared what her husband had said before. If there were no feelings between them, this marriage was just a formality, just for revenge. To hell with revenge, she was utterly fed up with everything that might happen, even the worst possible outcome, with words that would make her the most terrible wife in the world. Julia just wanted to know a few things. She felt so weak and so annoyed.
"Is something bothering you?"
Julia was so irritated that she immediately hit her husband for asking that question.
"Do you still not understand who made me like this?"
Julia grew increasingly angry, and Robin could only watch silently as the couple seemed to speed up. The man seemed to understand that the woman he loved so deeply and had to let go of because of his own selfishness had already erased her feelings for him, and now she was in love with another man, her husband. Regardless of whether the marriage was merely for revenge, Robin knew Julia very well and knew that she had fallen deeply in love with her husband.
Kay smiled sweetly. The man tried to understand his wife's feelings, but of course, he couldn't tell her that he was also so afraid of losing her. He had to be firm with his own heart, because no matter what, he didn't want to make a mistake, which would ultimately give everyone a space that was completely inappropriate and would only create serious problems for everyone.
"I hope you can live peacefully without me, and aren't you a police officer? Act and behave like a police officer and uncover all the crimes that exist."
“Do you think I can? Regardless of whether I’m a police officer or not? I’m a woman and I’m your wife, and I’ll never be willing and will never be okay with whatever you’ve done and the consequences that follow. Can I ask you one thing? Stop doing all this and be quiet. I won’t question why you killed some of the people you’ve already killed, but there’s one thing I want to assure you: I’ll help you with all my might to make sure the remaining people get what they deserve. Can you trust me? Can you wait for me? I just need some time from you, and I don’t know how to be okay anymore after what happened, and I’m completely devastated.”
Kay was speechless upon hearing that, and this man couldn’t even say anything else. "I will help your wife uncover this case and will help you get all the criminals to confess. And I also have the same hope as your wife: to stop committing this murder, because after all, from the start, you were the victim, and I don't want the world to know, and then, in the end, the accusations against the suspects no longer apply to those people, but to you. It would be a shame for all your struggles and all your patience while waiting like this, because in the end, you will be the one to blame, and the world will never truly focus on how they killed your parents. This isn't about how you try to be vengeful, but this is about the mentality and prejudice of the entire community. Only then can you clear your name and your parents', and have them ruined in front of so many people before they are punished. Do you understand what I mean? And your wife cares so much about you, do you still not want to care for her?"
Kay's jaw tightened. The man didn't even say anything, but lowered his face deeply, even now, looking utterly speechless. There were many feelings that he was currently thinking about, as a husband and even as a child who had to do their devotion to the two symbols that had to be done so very well but it was absolutely impossible.
"If you ask me if I should do some truly horrific things, of course I can't do them. My feelings will certainly waver if you keep saying this. However, my beliefs from the beginning and my purpose in life are not something that can be underestimated, even by anyone. I don't want to be seen as weak by some just because I remain silent, and ultimately, I will never receive any defense for everything that happened, and that makes me unhappy. Therefore, I only hope that you will not interfere too much in everything that happens because this is my business. Even if one day I end up as a murderer and a suspect in this case, I don't care, and—"
"And you are willing for them all to receive sympathy from all of society? When they should all be insulted by society for their extremely barbaric actions. That is the key, and I hope you will remain calm and then reveal who is the problem in this case because, after all, that is the only thing I expect from you. This isn't about how you kill or how you feel about revenge, but rather naming and making them... "It's ugly, and the whole community knows all the crimes they've committed. Don't you want that to happen?"
Kay remained silent, until Robin finally patted the man's shoulder.
"Give us two weeks, and I'll make sure to make this happen. After that, you can do whatever you want. It's clear that our duty as police officers is to uncover all the crimes they committed while they were alive. And that is also our responsibility, and it serves as atonement for what the entire government of this country has done to be so cowardly. They should be the ones protecting the public, but they did the opposite. Do you still believe us or not? If you do, then you have to prove it to us by staying put and doing nothing for two weeks, and we'll get it done. And if we can't do that within two weeks, we'll completely surrender and follow all your decisions, and we won't bring up anything, as we agreed from the start. What do you think? Do you agree with this agreement?"
Kay was silent for a moment, before finally looking at his wife with a very serious gaze. Julia looked at Kay as if she wanted to make sure that whatever she was doing was for her husband's sake.
"10 days. I'll give you two 10 days, and you must resolve this matter."
