XM-0022 Katherine Pride
Matthew had already rushed to the entrance of the alley, and just wanted to go in to save the little girl's family, but suddenly stopped, and a suspicious voice came out of his mouth: "Huh? ”
The little girl who was trembling in her mother's arms suddenly let out a miserable cry, holding her head with both hands, and kept swaying, as if she had suffered a great deal of pain! An invisible wave that ordinary people could not detect emanated from the little girl, becoming more and more intense.
Matthew's spirit shrouded all around, and he immediately discovered this, and his heart moved, and instead of going up immediately, he concentrated on observing the changes in the little girl.
The little girl's mother was startled by the little girl's movements, looked up at several black gangsters and said, "Gentlemen, please, my daughter is sick again, and now she must be sent to the hospital immediately for rescue, otherwise her life will be in danger!" ”
Mark, the black man who originally forced forward, looked at the black Jim when he heard this, Jim also scratched his head a little, and it was okay to say that once the little girl died, then the police would definitely pursue them with all their might, and their good days would come to an end, but let them go like this, I was still a little unwilling, after all, the little girl's mother was a stunning beauty, and she was the most beautiful woman Jim had ever met, which made Jim's heart itch.
After hesitating for a moment, he saw that the little girl's body began to tremble, not like pretending, and scolded secretly, and beckoned to his companion: "It's really unlucky, Mark, let's go!" ”
After saying that, he turned to leave, Mark glanced at the beautiful woman regretfully, and followed Jim, and the other black man seemed to want to go up to help, but hesitated, and walked away quickly with his head down.
The beautiful woman hugged her daughter who was screaming in pain, looked at her husband who passed out next to her, and couldn't help crying bitterly.
Seeing this, Matthew also gave up his plan to continue to observe the changes of the little girl, ran over quickly, and asked, "Madam, do you need help?" ”
"Sir, please call the police for us, we have been robbed, and my husband is injured and my daughter is sick!" The beautiful woman said with tears in her eyes, her heart was so flustered at the moment that she didn't recognize Matthew at all.
Matthew didn't want to contact the police, so he walked up to her husband, checked it, and said, "Your husband is fine, but he passed out in a coma, I think it's better to take you to the hospital first!" ”
After the beautiful woman nodded in agreement, she picked up her husband and walked outside, while the beautiful woman held her daughter, who had gradually calmed down, followed behind Matthew, stopped a taxi, and drove in the direction of the hospital.
After handing over the unconscious man to the doctor, Matthew looked curiously at the beautiful woman who was still holding his daughter in his arms, and asked, "Doesn't your daughter need to be checked?" ”
"No, she has this problem since she was a child, she has a headache when she is stimulated, and it will be fine after a while, we are all used to it, I have been to the hospital many times and nothing has been detected, as I get older, the number of headaches is becoming more and more frequent!" The beautiful woman lovingly stroked the little girl who had fallen asleep and explained.
"Oh!" Matthew nodded, not asking any more.
Ten minutes later, the doctor came out and said, "The patient has come to his senses, and the family can go in and visit!" ”
"Thank you, doctor!" The beautiful woman hugged her daughter, said with a happy and grateful face, and then walked quickly into the ward.
Matthew also walked in, only to see the beautiful woman's husband lying on the hospital bed, shaking his head gently, looking uncomfortable, and when he saw his wife come in, he was pleasantly surprised: "Theresa, are you okay?" ”
The beautiful woman shook her head and said with concern, "Carmen, how are you feeling?" ”
"My head still hurts a little, it's not a big deal! What happened to Katie? Carmen smiled wryly.
"I'm sick again, and now I'm asleep!" Theresa said softly.
Carmen breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she notice Matthew next to her and asked, "Hey, are you?" ”
"This gentleman happened to be passing by and helped us!" Theresa hurriedly introduced.
"We met at the gates of Harvard!" Matthew saw the meaning of Carmen's words and took the initiative to remind.
"Yes, yes, what do you call you?" Carmen asked.
At this time, the beautiful woman Theresa looked at Matthew seriously, and suddenly said, "Ah, it's you!" ”
Matthew smiled slightly: "You can call me Matthew!" I'm a tourist from China! ”
"Oh, Matthew, thanks to your help this time, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened!" Carmen said gratefully.
"I didn't help much!" Matthew said politely.
"My name is Carmen Pryde, this is my wife Theresa Pride and daughter Catherine Pryde, we are from Deerfield, and this time I took Katie to visit our alma mater, I didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing!" Carmen explained.
The doctor suddenly pushed the door in and said, "Mr. Carmen is fine, he can be discharged!" ”
At this time, the little girl Catherine woke up faintly, saw her father and mother beside her, and asked in confusion, "Mom, where are we?" ”
Theresa smiled and rubbed her daughter's little face, and said with a smile, "Katie, we're in the hospital now!" ”
"Ah, Dad, are you alright?" Catherine suddenly remembered what had happened before, and anxiously inquired about her father's situation.
"Katie, Daddy's okay!" Carmen got out of bed, stood up and walked around, and said with a smile on her face.
"Great!" Catherine cheered, then noticed Matthew's presence, stared at Matthew with big eyes, and said, "Hey, I've seen you!" ”
"Yes, little sister, we've met!" Matthew smiled.
"This big brother helped us, Katie, thank you big brother yet!" Theresa said.
"Thank you, big brother, are you traveling from China?" Catherine asked, tilting her head.
"yes!" Matthew nodded.
"Then you will come to our house as a guest, right? Okay, Dad, Mommy? Catherine rolled her eyes and invited in a coquettish voice.
Matthew hadn't spoken yet, Carmen and Theresa next to him immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Matthew, although Deerfield is just a small town, the scenery is still good, you are traveling anyway, why don't you go back with us and let us entertain you?" ”
"Then excuse me!" Matthew had something on his mind, and he didn't refuse, nodding his head in agreement.
"Oh, that's great!" Catherine cheered.
Carmen's cash and mobile phones were robbed by black gangsters, but fortunately, the driver's license was still there, after Matthew slightly revealed that he was afraid of trouble and didn't want to contact the police, Carmen didn't insist on calling the police, anyway, he just lost some cash, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, everyone was sleepy, so it was agreed to meet at the hospital at eight o'clock in the morning the next day, so Matthew said goodbye and left.
Walking to the alley, mentally scanning the hotel, I found that the suite I entered during the day was already occupied, so I had to find another one, teleported over, took a hot bath, and lay comfortably on the big bed.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Matthew got into Carmen's car with a travel bag on his back and headed for Carmen's hometown of Deerfield.
On the way, Catherine became very interested in Matthew, and kept asking this and that, and Matthew also liked this delicate-looking and eccentric little girl, and answered her questions one by one, and bursts of laughter continued to sound in the car.
Carmen drove the car, Theresa sat in the passenger seat, looking at the big and small chatting in the back seat, the two looked at each other and smiled, this time out, although they were robbed, but God forbid, in the end, there was no danger, and now they have met a good friend, which is really an unexpected joy.
"Catherine, how do you feel when you have a headache?" Matthew got acquainted with the two and then led the conversation.
"Matthew, you can call me Katie, my friends call me that!" Catherine smiled slightly, and then thought with a bitter face: "Well, I don't know what to say, anyway, I just feel like my head is bulging, sometimes it looks like something wants to pop out!" ”
"Katie, do you have any other sensations or discoveries besides a headache?" Matthew asked, feigning curiosity.
Catherine was silent for a moment, then shook her head.
Matthew saw that she was a little depressed, so he had to divert the topic and chat with her about other things, but he didn't expect that this little girl liked computer things very much, and could say a lot of hacking knowledge that Matthew didn't understand, Matthew teased: "Katie, you don't want to be a hacker when you grow up, do you?" ”
"Yes! I think that's cool, the Internet will definitely become an indispensable thing for people in the future, and as a hacker, you can see all kinds of strange things in the world in the Internet, and understand many things that ordinary people can't access in their lifetime! Catherine said expectantly.
"Ahem, you don't have to be a hacker, you can also be a cybersecurity expert!" Carmen corrected when she heard Catherine say this, fearing to offend Matthew.
"Hehe, I also think it's cool to be a hacker, but it's illegal to do this, or listen to Carmen, and become a cybersecurity expert in the future!" Matthew said, winking at Catherine.
"Giggles!" Catherine instantly understood what Matthew meant, and couldn't help but giggle.
Three hours later, the car stopped in front of a country house, and Carmen beckoned Matthew to get out of the car.
Matthew exclaimed, "Your house is so nice! ”
"Thank you!" Theresa smiled slightly, saw that Carmen had already opened the door, and said to Catherine, "Katie, you take Matthew to the guest room first!" ”
"Okay, Mom!" When Catherine heard this, she immediately pulled Matthew, jumped towards the villa, bypassed the living room, and came to a very beautifully decorated room, and said with a smile: "Matthew, this is the guest room at home, you put down your luggage first!" I'll take you out for a walk! ”
Matthew looked around, put down the backpack on his back, and then followed Catherine back to the living room, it was already noon, Theresa began to cook a Western-style lunch in the open kitchen, saw Matthew and them come out, and said with a smile: "Matthew, there is still a little time for lunch, you and Katie can watch TV!" ”
"No, I'm going to introduce my friend to Matthew!" Catherine pulled Matthew and walked out.
Matthew made a helpless look at Theresa, causing Theresa to laugh and follow Catherine out.
