He literally teared up.
Ethan couldn't control his emotions any longer so he allowed the tears to flow freely from his eyes. Having a full conversation with the couples who have taken cared of Aisha have wrecked his heart.
They have lost their own daughter and their grandson 3 years ago. And that was after they have found the floating woman. They took her without any reservations.
"We didn't want to give up on her that time. Cause whenever we look at Miracle, we felt as if our conscience is eating us. We have already lost our daughter and our grandson... We don't want to lose anyone anymore." Mr. Kersey uttered while holding his wife's hand.
"That's why even if we knew we'll have a hard time paying the money, we still decided to push through with the loan sharks. Anyway, Clement said he will help us." The old man continued.
"I'm sorry Sir.. But did you mean Clement knew about the loan sharks as well?" He suddenly asked with suspicion.
"Yes. He was actually the one who introduce them to us."
"Wait, what? It was clement who told you to borrow money from the loan shark? But I thought he's been helping the woman since you found her?'' He was filled with suspicions.
The two coupes stared at each other and gulped. Then Mrs. Kersey tighten her hold on her husband's hand.
'' Y-yes...H-he's been helping Alex since then. Especially with her medications. But during the time that Alex went into comma, we couldn't ask for any help any longer since we took the responsibility to adopt the two. Though we tried borrowing money from him but then he doesn't have some savings left that time so he introduce us to Zoren.'' The old man replied.
Ethan was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe what he just heard. He might understand if Clement didn't have the money that time but to push these old gals to borrow money from those hungry loan sharks is totally a risk. Especially knowing that they only have fishing as they're source of money.

'' He did. But we did it anyway. I just couldn't bear to let Alex die especially knowing that she has a chance to live. Even if it's just one percent, I am still willing to risk all the things that I have.'' The old man beamed.
'' But why did you do that? Why did you decided to help a total stranger?''
'' I don't know as well.'' Then Mr. Kersey glanced at his wife who smiled at him. ''Guess because I could see my late daughter in her.'' He smiled to Ethan.
Ethan's eyes suddenly dropped on the floor. He coudn't believe that there are a few good samaritans this days, who would do anything to help a stranger without asking for anything in return.
'' That's so kind of you, Mr and Mrs.Kersey.'' he smiled genuinely.
Though he was smiling on the outside, the truth is, he is already filled with a lot of questions and now he is doubting Clement's real identity. Who is that guy?and what was his intentions? Why did he tell these old folks to borrow money? Why not him? He was in daze.
Also, Aisha thought she owed her life to Clement, To what level of certainty was that? She should be repaying these two instead of that crooked man! He scoffed.
He dried up his wet eyes when a thought suddenly crossed his mind. Something isn't right. That Clement guy... He's... hmmm. He traces his jaw with his finger.
'' Mr. Kersey, have you seen Zoren's face before?''
'' Unfortunately, I am an unknown man to expect an audience from him. The big boss doesn't meet with people who's of no value to him.''
'' Eh? So how did you approach him then?how were you able to borrow money from him?''
'' That... It was through Clement. He said he knew someone who could help me on it. And true enough, after a day, we were able to get a hold of the money already.''
That Clement guy, he is surely hiding and doing something in the dark. Ethan thought.
After a few more minutes of conversation, Ethan bid farewell to the couples but he didn't fail to thank them and give them an amount that they could use for the time being. But he must admit that the amount of money he gave was not enough to compensate for what they've done to Aisha and the baby.
The couples stared at each other in awe. Puzzlement was written all over their faces. Why is the man helping them? What's with the gifts?
'' Mr and Mrs Kersey, I know this isn't enough to compensate you for all of your help and sacrifices but I hope this will somehow how.''
'' But you don't have to do this, Mister!' The old man yelped.
''No believe me, I mean it.'' He smiled at them and was about to bid goodbye when he recalled something. '' Uhm, Mr. Kersey, I forgot to ask you something.'' He voiced.
'' What was that?''
'' It's about the payment... hoow are you paying it?''
'' ah that? Alex had already decided to pay for it instead of us. We told her we will help but she refused.''
'' But how about the first months? Who paid it?''
''Oh that... we were actually surprise when the colllectors didn't come for three months. They only came on the fourth month, after Alex woke up from coma. guess they have considered our situation back then.'' The old man explained.
Ethan was in deep thought after a few minutes. Seems like he is trying to process everything in his mind right now. However,no matter what angle he looks into it, he still couldn't get it. Something is not right. Something is not included or perhaps ommited on the original story. And that Clement... he is very suspicious in his eyes right now!
He then bid farewell to the old couples and went back to Estrella city.
He was on his way to Estrella using his private jet. His mind is in a muddle while thinking about the things he heard from those two. But what he was thinking the most was Clement.
Clement was the one who introduce the loan sharks to them. But why? Did he knew about them since the start? Wait... Something is definitely not right. But he can only confirm it as soon as he receive his friend's report. That guy.... He creased his brow in qualms.
Thirty minutes has passed when Ethan arrived at his hotel suite. The cars in the garage shows him that Shawn and the others have already arrived. Therefore, he went directy to his suite.
He glanced at his wristwatch, ah it's already 8pm. Is Aisha already up? Now his mind was thinking how to explain everything to the woman. She needs to know the truth as soon as possible.
He walked inside the house and found Shawn and the men sitting on the couch, drinking scotch while watching an action packed movie. He scowled upon seeing his beloved scotch being feisted by Shawn and the others.
"Really? Shawn?" He was wearing an almost murderous aura. Shawn should know that what he was drinking was one of Ethan's drink collections, so he chuckled teasingly.
"We couldn't find anything to satiate our tiredness that's why." Shawn answered. '' Sorry!''
Ethan rolled his eyes. Shawn did not change at all. His reasoning is to vague. Ah, such a liar! If this man isn't his friend then probably he had already terminated him a long time ago! Haist!
"Tsk... Your old lies and reasonings.. It needs to be change. That maybe the reason why all your girlfriends dump you." Ethan growled.
"Ha-ha! Well, I don't need women who couldn't keep up with my attitude. I better choose to stay single until I die!" Shawn continued laughing while Ethan sat on the couch next him emotionlessly.
He looks so tired. His face paints it all. So Shawn became serious all of a sudden.
"Care to tell me what's happening here?" Shawn look at the exhausted man. "Its been a long time since we used our class C members... What kind of war is it this time?"
"An all-out-war.... I guess." He sighed.
Shawn creased his brow and was about to speak when a beauty suddenly appeared next to Ethan. He got mesmerized!
"Ysabelle, is she awake now?" Ethan asked.
"Sir, she's still sleeping." She responded.
Shawn's eyes suddenly got stuck on the beauty in front of him. The woman has a slender figure, guess her height is somewhere 5'4 or 5'5... She got potrouded pinkish lips and round brown eyes and a fair skin too. She's definitely his type! He smirked within.
Shawn's reaction was not hidden from his friend Ethan therefore he introduced them both.
"By the way, Ysabelle, I want you to meet my friend, Shawn. I want you to train under him starting tomorrow. Shawn, this is Ysabelle. She will be under your care moving forward." Ethan jokingly glared at Shawn but his friend smiled sheepishly as if he was planning something.
Shawn stood up immediately and smiled the widest as he raised his hand to shake hers.
"Hi Ysabelle, nice meeting you."
The woman instantly kowtowed after shaking the man's hands. ''Pleasure to meet you, Sir Shawn.''
The man, on the other hand, is gleaming with joy. Though he wouldn't say it, his eyes speaks it all.
"Ahem!" A voice from someone interrupted his moment. Therefore, he glared at Ethan who was raising his brow.
"by the way, where's Mira?" Ethan asked the woman but she suddenly went pale.
"S-sir... Young Miss is with Master Omni right now..." She lowered her head.
"Oh is that so... Where are they?"
"T-they're... T-they went out..."
''What?'' Ethan suddenly yelled and was about to take out his phone to dial his grandpa's number but then the door suddenly opened.
Shawn, Ysabelle and Ethan suddenly glanced at the doorway. However, Ethan's eyes widened in disbelief!
