Chapter 42: Motherhood

The two sisters tore each other apart, completely unaware of the fact that they had invariably miscalculated the time to take a shower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A woman's bath is a very laborious thing. Just washing hair, there are many processes such as rinsing *** wiping shampoo, rubbing and scratching, rinsing foam, applying conditioner, rinsing foam, wiping and drying, not to mention women's care for their own skin, procedures will only be more than hair maintenance. As a result, both Lydia and Hannah have been in the bathroom for a long time. I didn't realize that a rough man like Zongheng would only take a few minutes to take a shower. When Zongheng puts on clean clothes and walks to the corner of the stairs, he hears Hannah's declaration that he will take everything from his sister.

Zongheng never thought that he would one day become a prop for two women to compete, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. But he didn't say anything, just stood quietly at the corner of the stairs, waiting to hear what the two women would say.

Lydia said, "You're crazy! Nemo is only twelve years old! What the hell are you thinking?! ”

Hannah pushed back unrelentingly: "I'm cranky? Let's see what you say to Nemo? It's clear that you deliberately teased him first! Think about your attitude towards you! Do you really think of him as a twelve-year-old in your heart? ”

Hannah's words, like a needle, pierced the most secret place in Lydia's heart at once. Despite her best efforts to hide it, how could Hannah, as her own sister, not notice her inner wavering?

Hannah sneered, "I got the job on my mind, right?" You yourself treat him as a man, but let me treat him as a child, why? Don't forget, you're a full seven years older than me! ”

Lydia retorted, "Nemo is an important object of protection designated by the FBI General Administration!" I am his protector! ”

Hannah said disdainfully, "Protector? What a high-sounding statement! ”

"What do you mean by being so yin and yang? If not a protector, what else can it be? Lydia immediately retorted. But her tone fell on Zongheng's ears, and there was always a taste of weakness.

Could it be that Lydia is really hiding something from me? Zongheng's heart moved, and his ears couldn't help but stretch a little longer.

Hannah snorted coldly: "What it is, you know it in your heart. Don't forget, my mentor was an advisor to the FBI. I can't say I know all about the things that you FBI are doing behind the scenes, but I do know a rough idea. Over the years, all the high-IQ geniuses who came to the United States, which one has not been put on your watch list? Spying, persuading, or rathering rebellion, trying to get these people to stay in the United States and work for the United States. What's more, Nemo, a genius who can write and martial arts? Can you say that what you've done to Nemo these days doesn't mean to let him stay in the U.S. and play for the U.S.? ”

Lydia was silent for a moment and asked, "How much did you just hear my conversation with Nemo?" ”

Hannah said proudly: "I know everything I need to know." ”

Lydia was stunned again, and after a moment, she said weakly, "You know too much......"

"So what? Do you want to arrest me? Or kill me? Hannah said coldly.

Lydia muttered weakly, "What's going on in your head?" ”

Seeing her like this, Hannah smirked: "You say, what would happen to Nemo if I told Nemo your true purpose?" ”

"Don't!" Lydia exclaimed.

"It's okay not to say it. But you have to do a couple of things. If I could, I'd keep my mouth shut. ”

“…… What's up? ”

"Get down on your knees! Apologize! Please! ”

"What?"

"If I don't tell Nemo, that's fine. Apologize to me and say you shouldn't have hit me. Get down on your knees and beg me! Please don't tell Nemo about this. And promise that no matter what I do in the future, it will not hinder me! Hannah said.

"You ......"

The dialogue between the two sisters made Zongheng's heart continue to sink. Although he understood early on that it was difficult for people to have a purely adulterated relationship with each other, in his heart, Lydia had always been different. He had a hard time believing that Lydia would have any bad intentions for a twelve-year-old. But Hannah's words undoubtedly pierced the beautiful fantasy of Zongheng. It turned out that everything was a scam. No wonder Lydia would be so nice to him...... No wonder Lydia would take the initiative to sleep with him in bed...... No wonder Lydia always instills in him, consciously or unconsciously, the goodness of the United States, and always uses China as a negative teaching material to compare with the United States......

In an instant, countless strange wonders surged into his heart.

He couldn't take it anymore, so he walked back to the second floor lightly, deliberately opened and closed the bathroom door hard, and walked down the stairs with heavy hands.

By the time he got back to the first floor, Lydia and Hannah were already sitting back in the dining room as if nothing had happened. Hannah was still covering her face with a sick towel, while Lydia had a first-aid kit in front of her.

"You're done? Hurry up and I'll take care of your wounds. Lydia beckoned to Zongheng.

"Good!" Pretending not to know anything, he sat down next to Lydia and took off his shirt, revealing his wounds.

Lydia carefully examined his wound and frowned, "You spent so much time taking a shower just now, why didn't you rinse your wound properly?" There are still so many pollutants. ”

Zongheng knew that if he didn't answer this question well, it would expose the fact that he was eavesdropping. He put on a bitter face and said, "It's not convenient to clean it yourself." And the water rushed against the wound, it was too painful. ”

Lydia was amused by the expression on her face, and she said, "You killed people so fiercely, I thought you wouldn't be afraid of pain!" ”

As she said this, Lydia deliberately glanced at Hannah,

Zongheng smiled bitterly: "You think too highly of me, and I'm not a monster, how can I not be afraid of pain?" ”

Lydia thinks about it, no matter how ferocious the killer is, he is fierce to others and very weak to himself. Think the same goes for Nemo.

How did she know that the reason why Zongheng said this was completely overheard from the conversation between her and Hannah earlier. With the natural endowment of Zongheng, such a wound is no different from the mouth ulcers that ordinary people occasionally suffer from, no matter how dirty the wound is, it can be scabbed and healed within two days, and there is no need to apply medicine.

She opened the first aid kit, took out a large bottle of alcohol cotton balls, and said, "Bear with it!" I'll clean your wound first, it will hurt a little. ”

As she spoke, she held a large ball of alcohol cotton ball with tweezers and wiped vigorously on the vertical and horizontal wounds.

Zongheng only felt that his shoulders hurt hotly, and even if he gritted his teeth, he couldn't help but let out a snort and moan.

But Lydia was unmoved, and was preoccupied with his treatment.

Hannah, who was standing on the sidelines, watched carefully. Although it wasn't her who hurt, her face was pale as if she was empathetic. She couldn't help but reach out and take the hand that was vertical and horizontal, as if it would help him resist the pain.

And what shocked her the most was the old scars of all sizes all over her body.

What happened to this child? How can there be so many scars? Hannah was terrified.

She didn't know much about Zongheng, except from James and Marilyn that he was a genius with a particularly strong memory, and she learned how ruthless he was when dealing with his enemies by eavesdropping on his conversation with Lydia. But at this time, when she saw the cobweb-like scars on Zongheng's body, she suddenly had no intention of competing with Lydia, only care and distress for Zongheng.

If it weren't for all kinds of hardships, how could this boy use such great ability at the age of twelve?

Somehow, Hannah, who was in her early twenties and had never been a mother, suddenly understood what motherhood was.

……

The next morning, when Zongheng came to the Li family's restaurant for breakfast as usual, he found that the haze that shrouded the faces of the four members of the Li family yesterday suddenly disappeared.

Sitting at the dining table, looking at James, who kept clicking on the trackpad of his laptop and smiling, he asked Lydia quietly, "What's wrong with James today?" Looking at his beaming appearance, has the Zhao family's problem been solved? ”

Lydia leaned into his ear and said, "Do you need to talk about it?" You asked Zhao to help you yesterday, and you really found the right person. When I woke up early this morning, the posts on the Internet against James and me had been deleted by the original poster. The original poster also posted an apology letter on the two BBS in Midwood, publicly admitting that they were spreading rumors and apologizing for it. ”

Zongheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

This breakfast, the Li family ate happily and happily. Zongheng received a call from Zhao Li at breakfast and understood the whole thing.

But compared with the cheerful atmosphere of the Li family, the Zhao family was gloomy and bleak on this day.

In the early hours of that day, the wires in their home were cut, so that all the surveillance equipment installed in the house after the robbery was blind. A group of masked black-clad strongmen broke into the second floor of Zhao Ji's Chinese restaurant and arrested everyone in the Zhao family except Zhao Luo, who was still hospitalized. After some coercion and temptation, the Zhao family quickly said that they would eliminate the bad influence on the James family as soon as possible, and explained the mastermind behind the support behind them.

Catherine Ruth Moretti and her partner Roger Probert fell into the spotlight of the uncollected Peace Hotel. And Zongheng and Lydia have long known that Moretti is a woman who will not give up easily in order to achieve her goals.

The two easily guessed that the reason why Moretti instructed the Zhao family to bite Lydia's family was precisely to ruin Lydia's reputation so that she could take over the protection of Zongheng.
