Chapter 155: Hacking
Chapter 155: HackingMaverick retracted his steps and returned to his sorrowful wife.
Seeing her like this tugs at his heartstring. "It’s just a dream," he said while pulling her to rest on him. He only wanted her to take it easy but who would have thought that it would make things worse?
"No, it’s not," Jeslyn shook her head as tears gushed out of her red and swollen eyes. "It was too real to be a dream. Maverick," she looked at him and slowly took his hand then placed it on her chest. "It hurts here," she said.
"My heart... hurts, Plum. It feels like... like... I’m dying. My baby, I didn’t see my baby."
Maverick flattened his lips. He only does that when he is stressed or feeling emotional.
"I’ll find out what happened. Trust me," he wiped her tears with his index finger and kissed her on the head before hugging her.
Jeslyn cried even more before falling asleep in Maverick’s arms again.
After a while, Maverick laid her to bed before getting up to head to the sitting room. He didn’t stay long knowing Jeslyn might stir awake any moment and if she can’t find him, with that broken state she was in, she might start to panic.
Maverick returned to the room with a laptop and sat on the bed, making sure to be close enough so Jeslyn would feel that he was there.
He unblocked his laptop and opened a suspicious-looking app. After a while of accessing its features, a dark-themed blank space popped up and a moment later, a stream of code appeared. Maverick started to type away on his laptop.
Good thing the keyboard wasn’t making clicking sounds. The longer Maverick stayed on the laptop, the faster his fingers moved.
Soon his fingers started to blur due to how insanely fast he was going.
To the general public, CCTV cameras are just a means of protection and they can delete or destroy the images whenever they want to. Unbeknownst to them, every single thing captured on CCTV, no matter how relevant or irrelevant the things are, are being saved by some humans at the top watching every step the people take.
People might think their lives are safe and they have their privacy all to themselves, but these people controlling the world have nothing like ’privacy’ and ’human rights’ in their dictionaries.
Whenever they target someone and want to ruin them, all they need to do is pass out an order for the person to be taken out and before they know it, ’rumors’ will suddenly start to spread from ’nowhere’ and then, when the person starts to defend themselves, evidence about him is suddenly ’dug’ out from the internet to nail the person down.
Sometimes the people would be wondering where those evidence came from because they rightly destroyed those evidence.
How would they have known that the organization had its eyes set on all humans?
Even though the CCTV footage of that night was ’intact’ and didn’t look fishy, now that Maverick had started to doubt the credibility of what he knew back then, he wanted to find the real CCTV footage that might have been deleted.
However, the more Maverick went deeper into ’those people’s’ system, he realized that the particular video he was
Jeslyn’s eyes lit up in flames of happiness but they dimmed again and her enthusiasm dampened. "You said he’s been sent to–"
"Rex will send him back."
"Can that be done?"
"Mn," he took off her apron and wore it. "I’ll make the food."
"But I–"
He shut Jeslyn up with a kiss which she readily returned.
Jeslyn was excited that she would be going back to see Valen again. Although the matter of her child was still at the back of her mind, she chose to make Maverick happy too.
She realized while watching him cook their meal that she was being unfair to her husband.
Firstly, the child, even though she existed, was not Maverick’s. Yet, while she was mourning the loss of an imaginary child, he was patient with her.
