"Seen what doctor?" Jack furrowed his brows as he looked at the bald doctor in front of him, he couldn't understand what the doctor meant by his words.
The doctor looked at the reports again and smiled. "Don't worry, it's good news." He said and stood up from his chair.
"Good news?" Seeing the smile on the doctor's face, Jack's nerves calmed down a bit, however, he was still curious about the good news.
The doctor nodded at him and placed the reports on the table and soon enough stood in front of him.
He then touched Jack's injured shoulder with his fingers. "Do you feel any pain?" the doctor asked.
Jack moved his head from left to right, "No, I don't." he hadn't been feeling any pain for the past few days, he thought it was because of all the painkillers he had been taking.
The doctor smiled at his words and then moved back a bit. "Your injury is already healed. Even your bones are relocated." The doctor said with a complicated expression on his face.
This was the first time he had seen a gun wound healing so quickly. According to his calculations, it should have taken about two months just for the wound to pack up.
However, Jack's wound was already completely healed and even his bones relocated themselves.
"Is that really the case?" Jack asked with his brows raised. He was pleasantly surprised by the doctor's words.
He thought that it would take a long time before he could use his hand again, however now listening to the doctor and seeing his expressions it was evident that he could use his hand again.
He had an inkling of why he healed so quickly. 'It must be because of the Ero Meter.'
Jack remembered that his stamina was pretty good, and he wasn't sure if it was because of Ero Meter, however now he healed so quickly that even the doctor was surprised.
Jack only had one explanation for this strange event and it was his Ero Meter.
'So the meter also has these hidden features. I wonder what more features it has?' Jack wondered and looked at the doctor again.
The doctor also looked at him and nodded. "Yes, you are completely healed."
"So can I move my hand now? And remove these bandages." Jack asked. He wanted to use his right hand again as it was very difficult for him to do everything with his left one.
And one of the other difficulties was that he had to face many strange people like Mr Wang and Vieva, and his right hand could help him a lot.
"I will tell a nurse to remove the bandages for you." The doctor nodded with a smile. Jack was a premium customer and a strange one at that, so the doctor treated him as politely as he could.
The doctor then moved towards a dialer phone on his table, however before he could dial any number, Nicole suddenly barged into the cabin.
"Jack..." She looked at Jack with her eyes wide, and her breathing unstable as sweat covered her forehead.
The doctor turned around and looked at Nicole, confused.
Jack on the other hand also looked at Nicole with his brows furrowed. "What happened?" He asked while taking a step closer to her.
Just by her expression, he could tell that it was bad news, otherwise, Nicole would never have reacted like this.
"Cassie..." Nicole said and took in a deep breath.
Jack heard Cassie's name and saw the expression on Nicole's face, his pupils dilated and he quickly ran outside the cabin and towards the car.
Just by seeing Nicole's expression, he could tell that something bad might have happened to her.
Nicole on the other hand also ran behind him with full force, soon enough Both of them reached the parking and Nicole started the car.
Soon enough their car zoomed towards the mansion.
Jack sat in his seat and took the phone from Nicole and dialled Cassie.
'Please... Please...' He waited for the call to be picked as his heart started beating out of his chest.
"Hello...." Suddenly a voice came from the other side of the phone.
Just as Jack heard the voice his body suddenly calmed down and his heartbeat which was beating at a rapid pace started to slow down.
"Cassie... What happened?" He asked with a pause.
"It's nothing, I just overreacted earlier to Nicole," Cassie said.
By now she calmed down and knew that Jack would come to her as fast as possible and that might cause them to drive at high speeds.
Cassie didn't want him to get in any sort of trouble because of that. She wanted him to reach home safe and sound.
"Don't lie to me, tell me what happened?" Jack asked again, he couldn't wait to reach home to find out what happened, his heart wouldn't stay calm till then, he wanted to make sure that Cassie was safe.
"I am not lying. It's nothing important. Just come home and I will tell you face to face." She replied.
Jack listened to her and let out a sigh. He then looked at the way in front and found out that they were about to reach the mansion road.
"Ok, I am coming..." He said.
"Drive safe," Cassie said and hung up the phone.
Soon enough both Jack and Nicole reached the house and looked at Cassie and Susan sitting on the sofa, they were talking to each other quietly.
When they heard the door opening, both Cassie and Susan turned their heads around and looked at Jack.
A relieved expression appeared on their faces.
Cassie quickly stood up from her seat and ran towards him, Soon enough she was in his embrace hugging Jack as tightly as she could.
It was as if she would lose him if she let go even a bit.
Jack placed a hand on the back of her head, he could feel her heartbeat through his chest and could tell that she was distressed.
Nicole on the other hand surveyed the living area and then moved towards Susan.
"What exactly happened?" She asked. Nicole was also relieved that both Cassie and Susan were safe and without any injuries.
When previously Nicole picked up Cassie's call, she heard that someone tried to attack them and Cassie killed the person.
Nicole didn't know the details of the event that happened here.
Jack also looked towards Susan when Nicole asked the question, he was curious about what happened.
Susan looked at both of them and then her eyes landed on Cassie, who was tightly hugging Jack and a pang of jealousy moved through her chest.
She also wanted to get a hug from Jack after the whole ordeal, however, she refused to do so now, as she might come across as needy in front of Jack.
Susan then looked at Jack's face again. "It was Ron. The shadow Ron, I told you about previously."
Jack listened to her and furrowed his brows. "Did he come here?"
"Yes, he tried to kill me, but Cassie saved me in the end." Susan nodded at Jack.
"Who is this shadow, Ron?" Nicole asked suddenly as she had no idea of who Ron was.
"It wasn't a human." Cassie moved out of Jack's embrace and looked at Nicole.
"Not human?" Nicole furrowed her brows.
"Yes, it was some kind of puppet with Ron's face..." Cassie explained the whole event to both Jack and Nicole.
When Nicole heard the whole story she took in a deep breath and closed her eyes for a few seconds to contemplate something.
"Well, where is the dead body." She looked at Cassie in the eyes.
"Upstairs, in Susan's room." Cassie pointed her finger at the stairs.
Jack looked at Nicole and nodded, he then moved towards the stairs, and soon enough all four of them were on the second floor with the puppet in front of them.
Jack looked at the puppet carefully from all sides and soon enough he found out what he was looking for.
Anger appeared on his face, as he saw a strange but familiar blood mark on the back of the statue.
He has seen the same mark on the puppet he killed previously, although it was somewhat different, it was ninty per cent the same.
Nicole on the other hand couldn't believe her eyes, as how could a puppet be so coordinated and powerful to try and kill Susan?
Even most of the robots weren't capable of doing such things in the current time.
However, she soon calmed down as she had previously seen the red-dressed woman and she performed magic in front of Jack.
"What do you think? Who could have done it?" Nicole moved her head and looked Susan in the eyes.
She wanted to know if Susan had any suspects in mind.
Although she wanted to tell the police about this matter, they were sure that the police would never believe in them.
"I don't know anyone that could have done this," Susan said while biting her lip.
She really had no idea of would could have done this. "It might be Ron..." She said suddenly.
"Ron? Is he your friend?" Nicole asked as she was curious about the Ron guy.
Jack on the other hand listened to them and quietly took a photo of the blood mark.
He then stood up and moved outside the room, he knew that there was no point in trying to find the culprit as he already knew who it was.
"I will deal with him today." He murmured under his breath and took out a scissor from Cassie's room, he then cut his badges apart.
