"If someone told you that the person you saw was actually dead and didn't exist, would you believe it?"

"There are only two possibilities, either I'm crazy, or someone else is lying to me."

"So, I think everyone has this talent."

"There's something I've always wanted to tell you, Foley."

"Actually, I have something I want to tell you, maybe I already said it."

"We're definitely not going to say the same thing."

Representative Foley laughs as he watches Belus and thinks to himself, "Of course it won't be a thing, you shouldn't be as unlucky as I am." ”

Belus stopped behind a Toyota, much larger than Beverly was used to.

Anyone who has been involved in a car accident has always had some scruples about driving, and this seemingly large distance is an exaggeration, and Representative Foley can't help but worry about how terrible the car accident that left Belus unable to perform surgery again.

"What I'm going to tell you is part of my investigation over the years, but it just so happened that I saw a case called Eugene Soder."

"The name is the same as my mother's. Eugene Soder is not very common. ”

"Yes, it's your mother."

"Anesthesia accidents?"

"Anesthesia accidents in robotic surgery, to be exact."

"Yes."

"The matter was later resolved through compensation?"

"Yes."

"Was there any difference between your mother before and after the operation?"

"Belus, I don't know how to answer this question, sometimes I suspect that the memories of these two years are all confused, I suspect that those things are becoming more and more unreal, what I hope will not be known, what I want to be understood, all hung from the ceiling, like a strip of color that is torn apart and thrown into the air at a college prom."

"You don't look very good, Foley, you sweated a lot in my house that day, and your clothes were soaked."

"I had nightmares."

"Repeated nightmares?"

"Yes, there have been more dreams of the same kind lately."

"I don't understand something, and I haven't figured it out until now, but I have some eyebrows."

"Is it related to these cases that you are looking for Karen?"

Belus paused, and Representative turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the car, which he felt a little cold, and there was a slight chill in his back because the seat was a little hard.

Maybe he should have told Belus that he was sick before he said anything about him.

Representative Foley felt like he couldn't take it anymore, and the secret danced like a ghost who could break through the door at any moment, between his tongue and teeth.

I should have spoken out about it, and maybe that would get everything back on track.

Everyone should be born, die, fall in love, and solve problems according to certain rules.

The way we behave in accordance with the Bible's instructions and that is understood and accepted by the masses not only ensures that we can face our misfortunes safely, but also keeps us from being isolated, and it is through these rule-based ways of doing things that humanity has prospered to this day.

If you insist on going your own way and not living in a way that is generally acceptable to everyone because of conceit or satisfying your own selfish desires, then you will always face everything alone, and even face the final departure alone.

If you are really alone, it may be simple to have nothing to do with people, but who in the world today can live independently without people?

"I think I should tell you something."

"Say, Foley, I'll listen."

"I found out more than a month ago..."

The data machine emits Merry Christmas music, which is John's favorite song, repeating "Merry Christmas", "Merry Christmas".

"I'm sorry, I'll have to take a look first, it's John's school."

"Okay."

"I'm Forlì Soder."

"Hey, I'm John's teacher, Jelena, excuse me, are you here to pick up John today?"

"No, it's supposed to be his mother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Foley felt a strong sense of unease, how stupid he was, apparently Jelena meant that John was still in school.

Foley has a good impression of Jelena, with a tall figure of 173 cm, not a pretty face, but the makeup is kind and lovely, with long light yellow hair tied into a strand, and a gentle and patient speech.

John was still at school, and Representative Foley's brain was spinning, five or six possible scenarios spinning in his brain. He cursed, "Damn." ”

"Is it still there?" Jerina's voice didn't tremble with anxiety, and it still sounded gentle and moving. But maybe it's just her professional habits, and her voice won't change even if the situation is urgent.

"Where's John, teacher?"

"He's drawing in the classroom."

"Drawing?"

"Well, I'm sorry to ask you because we can't get in touch with your wife."

"She should have picked it up, she didn't tell me that she couldn't pick up John on time today."

"Do you need me to send him back?"

"No, how can I trouble you?"

Belus glanced sideways at Foley, and continued to concentrate on driving, in the rearview mirror, he had seen a Tesla driverless car when he had just taken Highway 110, and now 20 minutes have passed, and the car is still behind them, and the feeling of being peeped at home a few days ago has surged back to his heart.

Maybe it's too much.

Belus comforted himself.

He turned his face to look at Forlì, his lilac shirt soaked with sweat, and he turned the air conditioner back up.

Tell Forley about it as soon as possible, in case, he thinks of the car accident a few years ago, in case, people are likely to die at any time, that catastrophe did not make him feel that life is good, should be enjoyed, on the contrary, his original optimistic mood became heavier and heavier, he did not have time to rejoice in the joy of life but worried that death would come at any time.

Representative Foley has a right to know what happened to his mother, and perhaps he will think that it is just nonsense, a scientific fantasy, a clumsy science fiction, and perhaps it will add additional troubles to his peaceful life; But these are all maybes, and if he doesn't tell him the truth, Berus can't do it, which seems to mean that he made the decision for his friend on his own initiative.

"We may have something to do."

"To school?"

"Well, all the way south, you've got to see John. He'll make you like it, maybe we can take him for a burger. ”

"Hamburg? Good idea. I want two copies. ”

"What the hell."

Representative Foley twists the data into a half-U-shaped twist like a towel and stuffs it into his pocket.

"It's troublesome to get married."

Berus didn't speak, but he was more sure of his worries, he stepped on the gas pedal hard, the dark blue Tesla behind him was still in the rearview mirror, Belus turned on the music, his heart was beating heavily and uneasily, he was familiar with this feeling, this uneasiness would not go away easily, Representative closed his eyes tightly, and Berus's Subaru drove faster and faster.

As soon as Berus's car stopped outside the school gate, Representative Foley opened the door and ran straight for the school, running as fast as if he were attending an important basketball game.
