Chapter 403: "Helping Others"
In order to make up for the regret that Caitlyn didn't speak to her parents the last time she saw them, Jeno arranged for her to sneak into her parents' room.
Yesterday's battle had been moved out of Phi City before nightfall, so the victims in the shelter were able to sleep peacefully last night.
In the early morning, many of the victims were still asleep in their small rooms. But as soon as Caitlin entered her parents' private room, she was immediately discovered.
"Who's coming?!" Caitlyn's mother watched the figure of a maid sneak into her room, and couldn't help but ask in a loud voice, trying to attract the guards, but the guards had already been broken up by Jeno.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”
Caitlin was startled by her mother's questioning, and her mother's questioning caused her to confirm that the maid was a thief who had plotted against them.
After all, the hands of the big family are not very clean, and she has experienced more serious things.
Seeing that Caitlin was a little frightened and didn't know how to speak, Jeno explained through the window outside the door:
"Auntie, I'm Jeno Philos. If you look closely, you can see that this maid lady is actually the daughter you think about day and night, Caitlin. I've fulfilled my promise to bring Catelyn back to you, and you'll have a good talk, and I'll leave if I have something to do. ”
Jano laughed wickedly, took the opportunity to lock the door from the outside, and then turned on the light in the room, exposing Caitlin's face to the fiery gaze of her parents, and then tiptoed away with the keychain.
Without him, Caitlin had been targeting him all kinds of bars all the way just now, how could he not retaliate at this time?
He likes "helping others" the most!
Caitlyn leaned over the railing of the window and watched Jeno swagger away, almost crying behind bars.
At this moment, she can't wait to kill Jeno countless times with her eyes, this guy knows that he is cowardly in his hometown, but he deliberately locked himself up with his parents and forced him to catch up, which almost killed her.
Of course, she also thought about other reasons, such as Xu was going to do something secret, and she didn't want to let herself follow, so she locked herself up.
But no matter how you think about it, it's the first motive that is more in line with Jeno's character.
It's you, Jeno. Wait for the old lady to go out, hehehehe......
She felt that the corners of her clothes were being tugged, which made her swallow saliva unconsciously, and with the embarrassing feeling of being publicly executed, she turned back to meet the hot eyes of the second elder.
"Dad! Mother! Why did you wake up so early? ”
Why dive in, can't you come in openly and say hello?
Because of her professional reasons, Caitlin used to delay until late or go out late at night because of the case, and in order not to wake up her sleeping parents, she secretly left and came back secretly, because once she woke up her mother, she would inevitably give a lecture.
Caitlin, on the other hand, was afraid of her mother's recitation in her ear, she had her own opinions, but her mother always instilled in her different opinions.
She said to teach others, yes; Others say she can't!
So she gradually developed this habit of sneaking home, in fact, she wanted to make herself a little transparent at home, so that her mother would take advantage of her age, job, and marriage as soon as she saw her.
"Your mom said she had a strong premonition that you were coming back, so she was so excited that she didn't sleep much." The middle-aged man hung up his glasses and explained with a smile.
"I see...... Caitlyn's stiff smile softened slightly.
It was her father's words that made her feel a little at ease. But what the hell is this precise hunch? A woman's intuition? Or is it a mother-daughter connection?
"You know what? The danger out there has been lifted, but the damage to Leather City is very serious, and I will have to keep myself busy for the next few minutes......"
Caitlin found a topic to talk to her parents about, but her mother didn't care what had become of her out there, and only had this one daughter in her sights.
"It's okay, it's okay, you can just come back."
Caitlin watched her mother, who was no longer young, pretending to pull her messy and split gray hair behind her ears, so that she was actually wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then touched her cheeks with a pair of weathered hands, leaving a moist trail on it, and couldn't help but feel a sour nose, she had always been sharp and toothy, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only bury her head in her mother's legs and sob.
……
After dealing with her mother's barrage of concerns, Catelyn's dress was noticed.
"Why are you dressed as a maid? At first, I thought it was a thief who came to steal the blueprints of the weapon, but I was really wronged. ”
Before Caitlyn could reply, her mother's hands touched all over her body.
Caitlyn gasped because of the hidden wound, and then her daughter's strange appearance was immediately noticed by the mother, who else knows her daughter better than her?
She knew Caitlin as well as Princess Pea's sensitive body, and she could touch a pea under ten mattresses! Not to mention a ring of bandages under several layers of cloth.
"Oh my God, how did you do it, how did you get hurt so much?!" Her face immediately sank: "What's the matter with that kid Jeno?" I promised us to bring you back unscathed! Her dad, do you see that this is unscathed?! ”
As she spoke, she rolled up Caitlin's sleeve, and a circle with a touch of red bandage immediately appeared in front of the middle-aged man's eyes, and he frowned again and again.
But men are quite sensible, not as pushy as women, soft-spoken comfort:
"There's no way around it, you've seen that monster too, it's really not something that people can defeat."
"Mom, forget it, it's not a big deal."
Caitlyn could only smile awkwardly, and then clamped her skirt with her legs so that more wounds on her thighs would not be turned over by her rampaging mother.
However, to her surprise, Jeno actually reached such an agreement with her parents without her knowledge. Thinking about it this way, that person doesn't seem to be so annoying.
"No, I'm still angry. I'll have to settle accounts with him and hold him accountable! If this leaves a scar, how will our family Caitlyn get married? The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she suddenly stood up, and was about to bang on the door and call the guards to make a big deal and force Jeno out.
"Mom! Don't don't, don't! Caitlin hurriedly grabbed her unreasonable mother and explained, "You can't blame Jeno for this, in fact, he has already sent me back safely, and I caused this injury myself!" ”
"Are you old and confused? Can you fall like this? ”
Catelyn had no choice but to tell her parents what she had seen.
At first, they didn't believe it, because Caitlyn described the battle as if it were a fairy fight, not unlike the legend.
But Caitlyn eventually persuades her mother with her persistence, otherwise Jeno's scumbag design will spread.
