Chapter 13 The Past Is Like Smoke

I don't know what is wrong with my father, Thea feels that the answer is quite in line with his heart, after all, the arrangement and combination of those few questions, he has been pondering repeatedly for a month, and the answer should be perfect, as for why his old man turned around and ran away, it may be to show himself a sense of mystery, right? I called home, asked them to come and pick him up, and by the way, carried away the two bodyguards sleeping on the ground, and next time I have to change two more, can I save my life if I don't learn martial arts with such a poor quality!

Thea didn't know that her words had caused at least a thousand injuries to her father, and she ran to the distance to take off her mask, Malcolm gasped for breath, remembering his high spirits when he was young, and remembering the phone call he made when his deceased wife was dying, tears flowed uncontrollably. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that he only knew how to make money, thinking that money could bring him everything, and if there was an enlightenment like Thea back then, his wife would not leave him.

Stumbled back to Merlin's old house, locked himself in the room and held his wife's photo album for a silent night, and asked the housekeeper after dawn if Tommy still hadn't come home, and now he didn't bother to pay attention to him, let him go for a while.

took out a box from the bedroom safe and kicked it in his arms, got in the car and told the driver to "go to the Quinn Group" and didn't ask for directions when he arrived at the group.

"Hey, Thea. Malcolm stepped closer and whispered hello.

Thea at the desk was immersed in writing a document when she heard someone come in thinking it was an clerk and didn't care. But he immediately reacted that the voice was wrong, and when he looked up, he noticed that the middle-aged man in front of him was looking at him with hot eyes.

"You... Why are you here?" he thought he didn't know, and he had to pretend he didn't know. This should be the first time they have met since their life was exposed that day, at least the first time this vest has met.

"Can you go out for a coffee with me, I want to have a good chat with you. Malcolm said earnestly.

Thea also wants to talk to him to see if he can resolve his hatred of the slums, maybe he doesn't have to meet Oliver if he explains it more, a brother and a father are his dearest people.

Nodding at the moment, the two went out of the building, found a coffee house, ordered two cups, and began to have a long talk.

"Child, you know what, you are very much like my wife, just as smart, young and energetic. It's funny to say that I suspect that you were born to my wife, and Tommy was born to Moira, and you are too much like her. Malcolm looked into Thea's eyes and said seriously.

Thea said in her heart, you just talk about it, it must have had some impact on him last night, making him feel that his figure and his deceased wife have a certain degree of integration, which can be regarded as crooked.

That's not what you said in the original book, in the original plot you said that I was a born warrior, listen to this, is this a father talking to his daughter? This is too bad to speak, no wonder the daughter-in-law has been beating a bachelor since she died.

"Can you tell me about her? I've only seen pictures of her from Tommy..."It's definitely right to do what she likes, anyway, Thea is too lazy to go back to work today, Moira has a lot of eyes and ears, you should know the reason, we have nothing to do, it's all working hours, and there aren't many people in the café, so let's talk!"

"We met on the train, and she was at the time—" Malcolm hadn't said these words since his wife's death, and it was rare that someone would like to listen to them today, and he didn't think so much about whether there was some logical confusion in talking about the main room with his illegitimate daughter.

"At that time, she was running a free clinic in the slums, and on the way to work, she was robbed by a homeless man, and she didn't have any grudges for a few hundred dollars! She collapsed in a pool of blood and called me three times for help, but unfortunately I didn't answer the phone at all, and I was supposed to pick her up one day! I hate myself so much!" Malcolm said as he slammed the coffee table hard, apparently holding it in his mind for a long time.

Thea also felt a little bit at this time, is Tommy's mother a good person? must be a good person, but fate played a joke on her, if she had the strength, this kind of thing would not have happened. Thea became more and more convinced that the path she had chosen was the right one, that it was too difficult for a woman to live in this chaotic world, and that she had to have her own strength to protect herself.

He patted Malcolm's hand lightly, "She's so kind, I'm sure she'll forgive you, Dad..."

Malcolm was also shocked by this word, the ecstasy on his face lasted for a while and quickly subsided, stroking Thea's hair, "Child, I know you are sympathizing with me, it's okay if you can admit it, I'm very happy, you don't need to recognize me as a father, you will always be Thea Quinn, there are your family and friends, there is everything that belongs to you, I will only support you silently behind your back and protect you, I will not let anyone hurt you!"

This is exactly what Thea wants, if she changes her surname to Merlin, the Quinn Group will have no inheritance, and she has to run to fight with Tommy for the property, which is too troublesome, and now it is best to have two children and one family, and she doesn't know the agreement between the two unscrupulous parents.

Malcolm took out a box and placed it in Thea's hand, "This is what I gave to my wife, and I give it to you today, I hope its light will continue to lead us forward." After that, he got up and left the coffee house.

Thea opened the box and found that it was a very delicate necklace, the silver chain hung a sky blue gem, with the swaying of the gem flashing a soft lake light, and a few inscriptions were written on the inside of the chain, Thea didn't know a word, this doesn't seem to be a modern thing?

The words that had been planned to persuade Malcolm to let go of the slums were not talked about at all and he left, he seemed to have consciously avoided this topic, this was his heart knot, how could he enlighten himself?

Maybe I should ask Batman, whose experience is similar to Malcolm's, except that his parents died when he was a child, and he let go of his hatred in the last mental journey. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly gave up this idea, Batman was too smart and too dark psychologically. He is a character who claims to be able to solve 90% of heroes and villains with intellectual and technological weapons, yes, he is even a righteous hero on guard, and he has a lot of secrets, so stay away from him.

Is it only possible to slowly emotionalize with affection? There are less than six years left, and Malcolm at this moment is not a big boss in Thea's heart, but just a poor man who avenges his dead wife.
