I’m Someone Else

Tigre had to be killed. As Zoe said, Dominic’s head was still in Tigre’s hands, and Thomas, filled with self-blame, swore that Dominic would die with a whole body. He never expected Tigre to be so cunning. I knew I should’ve killed that b*stard first!

He checked the time. He was to pick up Olivia at 10.30PM, but it was still early. As such, he drove back to the rental house.

“Thomas!” Chloe, who had just returned from work, quickly greeted Thomas when she saw him entering the house.

“Where’s your dad?” Thomas asked with confusion as he glanced around the house.

“Oh, he’s gone out for a stroll.” Chloe smiled happily. Her father had recovered well since being discharged from the hospital. He no longer scavenged for a living and spent his days going to the park to play chess and chat with people. Life couldn’t be happier.

All of this was thanks to Thomas. Without his help and financial support, Adam wouldn’t have received effective treatment in the hospital, and if it weren’t for Thomas, her father would probably be alone and miserable now, considering her cancer, which Thomas had cured.

“I’m making dinner tonight, Thomas. What would you like?” the young woman asked with a smile.

She felt ashamed that she couldn’t help Thomas with anything while the man had done so much for her, and after thinking it over, the only way she could repay Thomas was by doing his laundry and cooking for him.

“I’m good with anything.” Thomas waved his hand.

After eight years in the military, he had become unfastidious about food. All that mattered was a full belly. There were no good dining conditions in the battlefields where bullets flew and resources were scarce, after all.

Chloe nodded, having made up her mind. There was fish and meat in the fridge, and she was determined to show off her cooking skills to Thomas.

In no time, a scrumptious dinner was ready, and Thomas joined the Hahns at the dining table, chatting while eating.

“Why didn’t you come back last night, Thomas?”

“Oh, I had some things to take care of outside, and it was already late by the time I was done, so I didn’t come back.”
