Chapter XXVI
Earlier.
Caroline eventually contacted the lawyer, Caroline, and went with him to visit Nia in the hospital.
Of course, it was the bus that arrived.
Carlo's argument is that last week because he sent a contract to a client, he was too rushed, and the car was later towed away by the traffic police, and recently he can only take a bus, sometimes even a motorcycle.
Carlo kept talking in front of Caroline about how unreasonable the traffic police's behavior was, and then it rose to how rudimentary the justice in this country was.
How to say that?
Eloquent...... But I don't understand? Caroline only felt that she had seen a small-bellied chicken intestine as if she was haggling with a butcher in the vegetable market, and finally failed, like a big aunt who defeated a rooster.
When he got in the car, it was Caro who paid for it, but Caroline didn't think the guy had the so-called gentlemanly demeanor at all - he should have paid the bill when he was in the café.
How much is a one-time fare worth?
"Oh, poor Nia, forgive me for knowing your situation! I should have arrived sooner!"
Carlo saw Nia lying on the hospital bed, and almost without thinking about it, he walked to Nia's side, knelt down in front of the hospital bed, held Nia's dry hand with both hands, pressed it against his forehead, and his voice was hoarse, and he wept sadly, "You used to be such a beautiful person, why did you become like this? God is so unfair......! You should have let me know sooner, why didn't you let me know?"
Nia seemed to be moved by the man's affection, and perhaps she was also recalling the bits and pieces of the past with this man, and her sunken eye sockets began to moisten.
Caroline had thought that Nia's tears had dried up after she was hospitalized.
But in the end, she still moved such a man's almost disgusting words to tears...... Couldn't Nia see at all that Carlo's performance was so hard-working? How could a man who hadn't seen him for a few years, or even more than ten years, be like this?
Or had the disease eaten away at Nia's shrewdness and sanity, making her even more ignorant than any ignorant woman?
Caroline opened her mouth, and even her eyes revealed her disdain for Caro. She wished Nja could see her actions, but Nia's eyes never took off Carlo.
Caroline didn't know if Nia wanted to remember the man's face forever, however, she didn't say anything she wanted to remind her.
She closed the door and sat alone in a chair outside the room, leaving Caro to give Nyoa a chance to behave. God, for the sake of this commission, I hope this man will be gentle to the end.
"What do I care about this kind of thing?"
Caroline shook her head suddenly and self-deprecatingly.
Feeling a little bored, she looked around the corridor of the inpatient department, and found that there were actually quite a few people...... They all have relatives hospitalized here, right?
With a little messy of thoughts, Caroline simply took out her phone and began to spend time scrolling through Moments and Twitter. I wonder what Nia and Carlo talked about in the ward?
She sent a message to Livia, who waited for a while and didn't reply. She made another phone call, and it turned out that Livia had turned off her phone.
Livia said that she would also leave and stay outside for a while, and she should have left by now, right?
Although this guy is in the meat business in the district, Caroline knows very well that Livia has a boyfriend outside without telling her, and it seems that he is still a college student.
Livia, a fool, even quietly leaves a part of the money every month to subsidize the man's tuition and living expenses.
Perhaps, she went to her boyfriend's side.
Caroline thought about it, and fell asleep.
She sat in a dream.
In the dream, she was an angel with wings that were not white as angels in the Bible, but gray.
Her wings folded, wrapped around her body, unable to fly, and her body began to fall from the sky.
But she could never touch the earth, she just kept falling down, and there seemed to be no end in sight.
She couldn't speak, she could only watch as she remained in this descending posture, her body was like a stone statue, and she felt like a soul imprisoned in a statue.
I don't know when, another self appeared in front of Caroline.
has exactly the same appearance, but the other party has no wings, which is no different from the ordinary self.
She's also falling, with the same speed as herself, and her gaze is even on a level in motion with herself forever...... She felt like she was looking in a mirror.
The two of them just like that, their heads downward, falling to the ground, but they were still looking at each other with their eyes open. Caroline still couldn't speak, she had never been in such a hurry for a moment.
But the other person moved—the other person moved. There was a slight smile on her face, a strange smile of horror in Caroline's heart when she glanced at it.
The other party moved.
This guy who is exactly like himself moved. In the middle of the fall, the other party stretched out his palm, slowly stretched out to himself, and finally put his palm under his abdomen.
She opened her mouth, as if she didn't make a sound, but her mouth was constantly changing, and she was clearly saying something.
"I took it. ”
"What?"
The earth below was suddenly swallowed up by darkness, which was like ink dripping on tissues, quickly climbing up into the sky, and finally dyeing the clear sky of light black.
Caroline felt the pain, it hurt, it hurt.
......
The pain was due to the fact that the mobile hospital bed, which was being pushed by the doctors and nurses, was speeding through the narrow corridor, and the wheels at the foot of the hospital bed were running directly over the soles of Caroline's feet...... It's no wonder it doesn't hurt.
Caroline woke up in pain, glanced hatefully at the hospital bed in the distance, and quickly took off her shoes. There was a red mark on her foot, and she didn't know if it hurt her bones.
How is it so unlucky today?
Caroline sighed and slowly rubbed the soles of her feet. At this time, the door of the ward in front of him suddenly opened, and Carol walked out expressionlessly, frowning when he saw Caroline still sitting here.
"What about Nia?" asked Caroline.
Carlo said indifferently: "She finally fell asleep, you better not wake her up...... By the way, do you have time, I want to talk to you about something. ”
Caroline had a hunch that might not be a good thing, but she endured the pain in her feet, put on her shoes, and followed the man to a quiet place - an overhead level of the hospital's inpatient department, a place for patients to breathe.
Caroline limped along, and Carlo didn't bother to help.
The old man, who could still vaguely see a trace of his handsome appearance when he was young, took out a crumpled soft cigarette from the pocket of his suit, picked one and began to smoke.
Caroline said impatiently: "If there is anything, just say it, if it's okay, I'm leaving, it's too late." ”
Evening is the time for her to work, and too late or something is naturally just a prevarication talk. She just didn't like being around this old man, it reminded her of what Nia looked like.
It was completely different from the time of despair, and it was full of strange spirits, as if I saw the appearance of hope.
"You're a prostitute, too. Carlo puffed on her cigarette slowly, "Nia told me something about you. ”
Caroline looked at each other with her chest crossed, frowned, and said, "If you have anything, just say it." ”
Carlo turned around and leaned against the railing, her back to the city's night lights, "Nia has entrusted me to sell her house, and the payment has been negotiated. But she has one more condition. ”
"I'm not involved in property matters. Caroline shook her head...... That kind of thing is too troublesome and thankless, and she has no reason to help.
Carlo said with a smirk at this time: "Are you really not going to participate, even if you can get 10% of the wealth after the property is sold?"
Caroline was stunned.
"Nia did entrust me, but she also entrusted you as her agent. ”
As he spoke, Carlo sneered, "This woman obviously didn't trust me. ”
Thinking of Caro's performance in the ward, Caroline also sneered: "It's strange to believe you, it's really disgusting." ”
"It's just for the money's sake. Carlo shrugged: "If she's willing to give me money, even if I kiss her feet right away." And you, who have been insisting on visiting Nia in the hospital, don't you have some kind of purpose?"
Caroline Yaoyao headed, she didn't want to talk too much with this man. Nia was willing to give her the one percent after the sale, and to be honest, she was greatly surprised.
This...... Is it the reward for visiting all these times?
Perhaps, as the old man had said, she had expected something from the very beginning—because she knew that Nyoa had no children or relatives.
It's just that later, that kind of mind unconsciously became indifferent, and as for when it disappeared, even Caroline herself couldn't say.
"Is that all? If it's okay, I'm leaving. Caroline turned around directly...... Maybe we should wait for Nyoa to wake up and talk to her about it.
Nia slept lightly, and the disease had been tormenting her, so Caroline didn't think she would wait too long.
"I'm too little, but what if it's fifty percent?" came Caro's voice behind him, full of a charm that had never been seen before.
Caroline subconsciously looked back, only to see that the old man was biting the half-smoked cigarette at this time, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and facing her with a smile that Caroline hated very much.
This smile is like the pimp who brought himself into the industry, introduced himself to his first customer, and completed the first business in his life.
"What did you say?"
Caro walked towards Caroline, "I think Nia's condition is so bad, don't you think? Why are we wasting our wealth on such expensive surgeries, and we have surgeries that don't necessarily work? Say, instead of putting money into hospitals, why not put it in my pocket and you?"
Caroline's breath couldn't help but rapidize with every word she spoke.
Caro suddenly reached out and lifted Caroline's chin, "With this money, your life and I will be better, won't it? You know that a house in the West End can be sold for a price you can't imagine. That's the wealth you can't necessarily earn by sleeping with hundreds of men. ”
"Scum!"
Caroline hit Carlo hard in the face and left angrily.
Caro didn't get angry, but raised her voice behind Caroline's back and said, "Think about it, as long as you nod, you can get a fortune." Nia can't live, is it worth it?"
......
Houses in the West End can indeed be sold for sky-high prices, and Caroline doesn't even know how Nia earned the money to buy such a house.
Surgery...... The doctor did say that Nya was in a terrible condition, that surgery was a last-ditch effort, and that the chances of success were not high, and that it was more likely that she would die hastely—or that she would die during the operation.
Why entrust me?
It seems that he is also aware of Carlo's hypocrisy, so he is not at ease...... After all, Nia is already a dying person, and she is suspicious, and it is conceivable that no one will believe it.
Don't...... I'm not afraid I'll ......
A house in the West End, how much can a house sell for......
No matter how much it could sell, it wasn't a luxury villa, and it couldn't be as much as her huge bank card wealth......
But until the situation is clarified, this wealth cannot be misused.
Thinking about it, Caroline didn't know when, came to the door of Nia's hospital room, reached out and put her hand on the door lock, and was about to push it open, in vain.
Hand...... Doesn't seem to want to push this door open.
She felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her behind her back...... It's Caro's eyes. Caroline turned abruptly, but there was nothing behind her, only the walls of the gray-white hospital hallway.
Suddenly there was a crying sound on the right, and a woman was lying on a moving hospital bed, crying and unwilling to come down...... The sheets of the hospital bed had covered the faces of the lying people, and Caroline knew what that meant.
She remembered that it was the mobile hospital bed that had run over her not long ago.
"I'm sorry, the operation failed. "The doctor seems to be able to say nothing but pale and useless things.
It seems that she had heard this phrase many years ago...... When her father was shot in a gang fight.
Death......
Caroline's face was pale and she felt a little difficult to breathe. Her hand suddenly let go of the lock of the door, and as if she were weak, she leaned against the wall of the hallway, just trying to get away from the place.
Whether it's Nia, or the crying woman in front of her, or Carlo who is still smoking a cigarette on the overhead level and hasn't left...... Aloof.
......
......
After a moment of silence in the VIP room, Song Haoran heard footsteps again - he was walking towards the door.
The sound of the door opening the door.
An old man with gray hair and a somewhat scruffy appearance...... I think I'm in my sixties.
The old man was obviously very frightened, maybe he had seen the scene of Song Haoran cutting the throat of the gangster, so he was frightened...... But apparently it was the gangsters who were killed that gave the old man the courage to show up.
"You...... Are you really the one who sent to the rescue?" the old man was extremely suspicious in addition to his horror.
Song Haoran said indifferently: "Let's not talk about these things first, a bomb has been installed here, and I will take you away as soon as possible." ”
"Bomb!" exclaimed the old man.
"It's dangerous enough to destroy this place completely. Song Haoran nodded, "Don't say it yet, I'll take you to the exit, you leave first, and I'll find the remote control of the bomb next." ”
Song Haoran glanced at the old man quickly, but he was searching for his memory...... His memory has always been good, especially after getting the Sun God Badge, and there seems to be a tendency to develop towards a master of memory.
So he wrote down the information of many important people in this country early on, their appearance, and their origins...... As for this old man, he is also in the information he remembers.
Ferranch, National Academy of Sciences, Ph.D. in the field of astronautics...... He is also one of the only remaining researchers in this country who has achieved great results in the explosion of a rocket launch a long time ago.
How could this old man be in such a good mood to come to this place to listen to the concert?
And it's in a VIP room......
