It never occurred to Kristina that Albert would ever misunderstand her like this. It felt horrible.
The two of them continued to argue relentlessly.
As they fought, Albert felt himself getting a head-splitting headache. He started to get flashbacks of when his mother beat and scolded him as a child. His painful past was like a dark, gloomy cloud hanging over his head.
It felt so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
Albert couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was his mother, who hurt him as a child, or his lover, who had saved him from the misery.
For many years, he hid the pain that he got from his family under lock and key inside his head. However, it was basically like a time bomb. If someone triggered it, the bomb would explode and hurt everyone within the radius.
Albert wanted to murder someone. He glanced at the fruit knife next to him, then looked at Kristina.
As if caught in a trance, Albert grabbed the knife and stabbed Kristina without hesitation.
The sharp blade pierced through the cloth and flesh, eliciting a shocked gasp from Kristina. Albert's eyes widened as if he was just waking up from the trance.
The dark clouds seemed to have dissipated; Albert realized he had done, but it was too late.
ah away," he ordered.
"Yes, sir." Then Ford turned to them and stated, "Mr. and Mrs. Shi, this way, please."
Noah stopped Albert and said, "Didn't you promise me that you will let them leave?"
Albert stood still and replied, "I'm not going abroad. They will stay here for a few more days."
He didn't feel like going abroad.
He just wanted to stay with Kristina.
As for Nina and John, they had to stay. Albert wanted to observe Nina's reaction after taking M.C. and see if would experience any side effects.
When Albert finished that last thing, he would let them go.
John and Nina went to the dark storage room again. Ford forced Noah to leave.
During the night, Nina finally calmed down. She blinked her eyes and looked up at John. She asked shakily, "If there is a misunderstanding between us one day, will you hurt me too?"
"There will be no misunderstanding between us." John wiped the tears on her face.
"What if there is?" Somehow, Nina became sentimental, not like herself in the past.
After all, misunderstandings were scary and could end up hurting their relationship.
Knowing that she lacked a sense of security, John gave her a reassuring embrace and whispered, "If we do have one, it must be my fault."
