At this stage, how Javier reacted only raised their concerns.
While Ellen had given Ryan a side glance, both of them knew that speaking to Javier on this topic was urgent.
But guessing the mood of Javier appeared out of nowhere that he wasnât interested.
In fact, to them, he looked to be absolutely distant, who was least interested to raise a single doubt about what he is going to do in his life.
âJavier, we know that you donât want to talk about this but we canât ignore it like thin air.â
âYou met your wife, fair enough. But...all you had said was that you didnât wish to meet her and give her punishment for disobeying you and not hearing what you had asked her to do. Now..how come this changed?â It was Ellen who asked, trying to convey the hidden message along with his words.
He doesnât want Javier to regret what he has done.
.....
Surely, in the back of his mind, Ellen knew he wouldnât but on top of that, the chances that Jennifer will now try to find every single thing out are at a higher pace.
At the same time, Javier who was currently sitting in the back seat had rarely had any clue about these two.
His mind was currently fixed in another direction to even spare them his glances.
However, since he knew that they would continue to pester him if he didnât reply, he had simply raised his word, âI wanted to see her. I missed her, so I asked the people to kidnap and bring her near the hotels which are near the borders.â
âI didnât go to the center of Lucasâs state. It was near the borders only. What was wrong with that?â Javierâs words made a deep sigh escape both the manâs lips.
âIt isnât how far you went but where you went that is the main concern. Moreover, how do you describe your own firm stand that you will not meet Jennifer?ââ Ryan had asked with great worry.
Since he knows this very well, how does it feel to miss a loved one, he canât even understand why his friend was so much interested in putting life in danger?
Initially, Javier had kept his mouth shut on this.
But then, he gave a reply, âI...I...Iâm still angry with her. But this time, my pain to meet her raised. So..I ended up doing this. There is no more explanation for my actions.â
âAt the risk of putting your life and health in danger.â Ellen had intentionally added these words, as he glanced at the hollow-filled Javier from the rear mirror.
As he saw Javier looking out from the window with the mixed gazes and the unspoken questions, unraised answers to give.
There was no scope for them to even question anymore.
Since they had simply thought about letting this thought go away, Ellen had driven the car back to another base.
It was the drive for a few hours and after he had spent the night with Jennifer in the room, they had shifted Jenifer into another room which was near the trade center of the state.
Moreover, it was Javierâs plan to book the room under Lucasâs name to confuse her and twirl her mind into these doubts.
To not raise questions, he had relayed information to her parents that she will be spending the night with her friend.
Along with the time, Jennifer was made to smell and inhale the fragrance to make her sleep for a much longer time.
Because of this, they had been able to successfully carry out their plan and that was to shift Jennifer..
As they reached the base in Johnsonâs state, Ellen had parked the car just in front of it. From the back, Javier had stepped out of the car before he looked in Ryanâs direction, âArrange the doctor as soon as possible.â
âWhy?â Ryan questioned back with the raised brows.
Instead of replying, Javier simply removed his hand from his shirt, where the entire shirt was soaked with blood.
The sight was horrifying, which even made Ryanâs face pale, âThis...you were specially told to take care of this wound!â
âJAVIER!? Was meeting with Jennifer at the risk of your own life worth it?!â
Ryan had slightly raised his voice but in return, a deep frown had curved his forehead. To avoid the same, he had helped Javier to walk on the other side of the base, since Javierâs blood loss had made him slightly dizzy.
Making him sit on the couch, Ellen urgently called for a doctor, who had also arrived the next few minutes.
Until now, Javier had already removed his shirt. There was the bandage, which was entirely covered with blood.
The redness was dripping from the wound and it wasnât a sight to watch for sure.
The doctor had simply made Javier lay down on the couch before he had treated the wound again. âI had warned you, Mr. Johnson.â
âYour wounds are deep. You shouldnât do any extensive things..but you didnât listen to me..â The doctor expressed his displeasure.
But the words brought a scoff from Javierâs lips, âWhat else can happen to me, doctor? Arenât you here to save me?â
âYou should take your life more seriously, Mr. Johnson. This isnât a game to be played.â
But Javier didnât pay attention. His eye was intact in the ceilings above while the doctor did the procedures.
Whereas, Ryan and Ellen stood at the corner when they witnessed how much blood occurs. Even the doctor was surprised by his carelessness of Javier this time.
Despite not knowing what happened last night for the wound to reopen, he could imagine that the young stubborn man must have taken up some active task.
As the doctor had done the process, he had prescribed some medicine to Javier.
Taking their leave, Javier simply lay on the couch with his eyes shut completely.
But Ryan was more annoyed than the normal fact, âHappy now? Javier. You seriously need to ensure your mind. She is your wife, we understand. But how can you act like this?â
âDonât press my nerves, Ryan...â Javierâs soft mumble didnât make sense. âShe is my wife. And I can do whatever I can to see her. None can stop me and mark this in your brains..â
âBut when are you planning to meet her again?â This time, Ellen stepped ahead with his crossed hands.
Javier blurted it out straight away, to once again stay quiet.
But that silence didnât remain for longer, âWhen the right time will come. When she needs me..for real..â
