Night, silent again.

At six o'clock in the evening, the large living room of the lakeside villa was bright.

Kellyti, who had rested for a day because of her menstrual period, finally went downstairs and wanted to help Laura make dinner, but Laura refused, and was sitting on the sofa around the large coffee table, playing cards with Christine and several young people.

Laura and John, two old men who have mostly done nothing all day, are preparing dinner for everyone, and Cynthia is helping.

Ba Song, who has been learning English for a few months, is undergoing a language test in Manila, he can already communicate with people simply, and because he has been in the United States since he started learning English, the people around him are also Americans, so his pronunciation is very standard, but the speed of speech is not very fast.

Monica, who was enshrined as a baby because of her pregnancy, was sitting in a remote corner, listening to music with headphones, and the duke, who had grown very big, was squatting next to the sofa where Monica was, biting the dog toy, shaking his head and competing with the dog toy, looking like he wanted to bite the dog toy.

Evan and Kyrie, as usual, didn't hang out with the others, they all hugged their laptops, they were studying something, talking in a low voice from time to time, completely unaffected by their surroundings, both of them were very silent and a little weird, because they were the only ones who could find pleasure in researching design again and again, and what they did seemed to others to be boring.

Today, there were two more spectators in the group of people playing cards around the couch.

Alain and Denzel, the two of them looked uncomfortable sitting in the corner of the sofa, watching others playing cards, and from time to time they would raise their hands and subconsciously touch their arms, there was still some pain, and it was estimated that it would take a few days to get better.

"Okay, okay, stop playing, eat, clean up the coffee table!" Laura suddenly walked over to the coffee table and waved at everyone.

Everyone at the coffee table stood up and began to clean up some of the mess on the coffee table, Denzel and Alain stood up and immediately stepped aside, and soon the same food began to be served, and everyone began to help serve food to the table, mostly cold, but also hot.

"Robbie, Sarah, come down to dinner!" Laura took off the walkie-talkie on her lower waist, called out, then raised her head again, and looked at the people in the room, everyone else had already sat down around the big coffee table, even the duke jumped and ran over, only Denzel and Alain, the two stood unnaturally not far away, giving people a very awkward feeling.

"Come on, come and sit, it's okay, come together!" A hint of helplessness flashed on Laura's face, and she walked over, pulled the arms of the two, patted them on the back, and asked the two to go to the coffee table.

"I'm looking for Don!" Manila got up and spoke, and walked out.

Tang Ji is in the basement, the walkie-talkie is not working, but he can be contacted by the computer, but if no one goes over, only through the computer high-speed Tang Ji eats, Tang Ji usually comes out of the underground laboratory for a long time, and even twice he simply does not come out, and eats casually in it, because he has experience, so in the past two days, someone has gone to the basement to call Tang Ji, so that he can come out earlier.

Manila leaves the living room, and Robbie and Sarah come downstairs.

This afternoon, Robbie was coaxing Sarah, and after coaxing it, the two got tired of being together, until now, Robbie's reason for coaxing Sarah is, of course, Meghan, at that time Meghan was on Robbie, but Robbie didn't push Megan away immediately, Sarah is nothing on the surface, but Robbie is afraid that she has something, and Meghan will live here in the future, and it will inevitably come into contact, and it would be bad if Sarah was suspicious of ghosts, so Robbie didn't do anything serious in the afternoon, and went to do something else......

Manila left, Robbie Sarah went downstairs, Alain and Denzel sat on the sofa next to the coffee table unnaturally, and the two of them woke up not long after, as if there was a shadow in their hearts, and it was difficult to integrate quickly.

"Don't wait for him, I don't know how long it will take, let's go!" Monica glanced at the crowd around the coffee table, picked up her knife and fork and said.

At the beginning of dinner, more than a dozen people gathered around the big coffee table, talking and laughing while eating, this coffee table is really very big, it is wooden, there was a big dining table in the living room, but basically not eating dinner on it, probably because of the habit, I have experienced so much in the past few months, I always gather around the coffee table to eat, everyone is very close, and it feels better.

"Hmm...... Yikes! A grunt, followed by a cry of pain, came from the south side of the living room, on a couch facing the fireplace.

Megan woke up, the effect of anesthetics on everyone is different, some people can even be immune to anesthetics, of course, there are some people who are less resistant to anesthetics, Megan belongs to this kind of person, so she woke up later than Denzel and Alain.

The people who heard the movement at the coffee table turned their heads and saw Megan lying on the sofa, her upper body slightly raised, her left hand covering her right arm, looking at the situation in the living room, looking at her expression, she was still in a very confused state.

"Huh? …… She's awake, I'll check it out! Christine, who was sitting at the very edge of the sofa, said, put down the dishes, picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, and got up and walked to the sofa where Megan was.

"How does it feel?" Christine walked to the couch, pressed her hands to her knees, leaned over to look at Meghan slightly, and asked with a smile.

"It hurts!" Meghan gently touched her right arm with her left hand and whispered, her eyes looked at Christine, but she looked around, she didn't seem to understand the situation yet, and while she was talking, she got up and put her legs down on the sofa, but she made an unnatural hissing sound in her mouth, and covered her abdomen, her abdomen was hit by Monica, and it wasn't a moment and a half to get better.

"We're eating, let's come together!" Christine reached out and helped her, smiling.

"I ...... Why am I here? What about my brother and Denzel? Where are they? As she spoke, Megan seemed to remember that she had a younger brother, and said in a slightly eager tone.

"Here!" Jon's voice came from the coffee table, his tall body leaned back, pointed to the side and said, there was Laura sitting next to him, and Laura was Alain and Denzel next to her, just because of the perspective, Megan couldn't see them.

"Sister!" Alain waved his hand at Meghan.

"We're here!" Denzel also waved his hand at Meghan.

It seems that the movement of the two of them waving their hands is a little unnatural, with a stiff smile on their faces, Kenneng Robbie really shot the two of them, so the shadow in the hearts of the two is not ordinarily heavy.

"Our boss has changed his mind, you can stay, Christine......" Christine stood up and helped Meghan to stand up, said at the right time, and finally introduced herself and extended her hand to Meghan.

"Really?" Megan immediately showed an expression of disbelief, grabbed Christine's arms with both hands, and screamed excitedly.

She didn't know how things were reversed, the last memory in her mind was that after screaming and crying, she was hit by a tranquilizer gun and slowly lost consciousness, according to what Don Guy said before, she should have been left in the dark forest, but the situation changed dramatically, so she even ignored Christine's self-introduction and polite handshake.

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would you be here." Christine looked at Megan's excited appearance and said with certainty.

"Oh God, great, great, thank you!" Megan hugged Christine, screaming excitedly, and jumped up, but didn't jump a few times, and immediately rolled over and fell on the sofa, her body curled up, her arms covered her stomach, her brows and nose were almost wrinkled together, and she quickly spat out the same word: "Pain, pain, pain, pain......"

The injury in her abdomen is not healed, and the sudden jump of her abdominal muscles will be violently forced, so ...... It hurts!

Christine raised her hand to cover her mouth, forced not to laugh, immediately coughed twice, leaned over and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, I'm fine...... You go to dinner, I'll just endure it for a while! Megan raised her hand, spread her fingers apart, and shook it firmly at Christine, holding her stomach with the other hand, listening to the sound as if it was coming out of her throat.

"Oh, then I'll go, remember to come over for dinner when I'm better, and introduce myself again, Christine......" Christine said with a smile as she stretched out her hand to Megan again.

"Megan, nice to meet you!" Megan held one hand on her stomach and reached out with the other hand to shake Christine, with a "I'm fine, I'm fine" expression on her face.

Christine pursed her lips and smiled, it's not that she doesn't have sympathy, it's that Megan pretends to be okay but endures it when she has something, it's really funny for her, and people can't help but want to laugh.

Christine returned to the coffee table alone, sat on the sofa and continued to finish eating, and soon chatted with Hanny next to him in a low voice, and everyone else gradually stopped paying attention to Megan, and began to chat with the people around them again, Denzel and Alain were still eating uncomfortably, and at the same time had weird eye contact, their eyes would always look at some food in the pot or bowl, in fact, the two were talking about whether to take some food to Megan, but there was no exchange result.

Just now Christine said that she should let Megan come over and eat, so the two don't know if there are any special rules when eating here, in fact, there are none, but the two of them can't seem to raise the courage to take the initiative to take the food, mainly Alain, she is the one who cares about Megan the most, but he doesn't dare to do that.

The dinner lasted for about ten minutes, and Meghan almost rested, so she got up from the sofa and walked to the coffee table, gently rubbing her stomach as she walked.

"Sit here!" Christine was sitting on the right side of a couch, and when she saw Meghan coming over, she patted the empty seat on the diagonal sofa and said to Meghan, there was a plate in front of the empty seat, and the food was already in it.

Megan was much more open than Alain and Denzel, there was nothing unnatural on her face, she nodded to the people around the coffee table, sat down in the empty seat, picked up the knife and fork, looked at the food, and ate it, it seems, has a good appetite.

"Is it a habit to eat?" Laura, who was on the other side, looked at Megan and asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh...... It's delicious......" Megan still had food in her mouth, nodded and made a muffled sound, and then quickly swallowed all the unchewed food in her mouth, patted her chest, looked at Laura and praised: "Madame did it?" It's delicious, wow, it's been a long time since so many people have come together to eat hot food, and it feels so good. Meghan gestured around and looked at Laura.

"I'm not a lady, it sounds weird, just call me Laura!" Laura smiled and waved her hand at Meghan and said.

"Laura?"

"Uh-huh."

"Megan, nice to meet you." Megan stood up and smiled and said to Laura.

Laura smiled and reached out to shake Megan, and Megan immediately transferred her hand to Jon's side, nodded at Jon, and said, "Megan! ”

"Jon!" Jon was the oldest person here, smiled kindly, and reached out to shake Megan's hand.

"Megan!" He turned his hand in front of the other person and said with a smile.

"Kellyti!" Kellyti, who was sitting on the other side of John, whispered, timidly raised her hand and shook Meghan, Megan was a complete stranger to her, and Kellyti was still a little scared.

"She's my daughter." On the side, Jon held a knife and fork in both hands, tilted his head at Megan, and smiled.

"Your daughter is so beautiful!" Meghan immediately complimented, moved her hand to the other person, and said, "Megan! ”

"Jason!" Jason, who was sitting on the other side of Kellyti, showed his white teeth, smiled and shook Meghan's hand twice, looking very enthusiastic.

"You're a good match!" Megan's fingers shook between Jason and Kellyti, and said with a smile, just when she was eating, she could see that boys flattering girls are easy to be noticed, and although Kelly has been keeping her head down, the shyness that flashes on her face from time to time can't hide Megan's eyes, so she guessed that the two should be a couple, or are developing in the direction of a couple.

"Oh God, really? Do you see that? I've said it a long time ago...... You see we ......" Jason was suddenly excited, a person who had just met and didn't understand the situation thought that he was a good match for Kellyti, and he loved this sentence to death.

"Ahem!" Jason was just getting excited, but before he could finish his words, there was a sudden dry cough from Jon's side that seemed to have an uncomfortable throat.

Jason immediately lowered his head, picked up his knife and fork, and silently began to eat, he heard the sound of Christine and Hanny snickering.

Megan's eyes swept over several people, and she also raised her hand to cover her mouth, smiled, turned her body to the other side, stretched out her hand and began to introduce herself again: "Megan! ”

"Hanny!"

"Megan!"

"Carey!"

"Megan!"

……

"What is she doing?" Standing at the door of the living room, Don Guy asked, when he and Manila returned to the living room, the first thing he saw was Meghan standing in front of the sofa, half of her body hanging above the coffee table, and stretched out her hand to Monica on the opposite side of the coffee table, and the movement looked very difficult.

"Introduce yourself!" Manila's tone was uncertain.

This side of the coffee table.

"Monica! I'm sorry for the daytime thing! Monica stretched out her hand and shook Meghan's hand, with a loving smile on her face, and said in a light tone.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm at fault too!" Megan's body finally retracted, and she immediately covered her stomach with her hand as she sat in her seat, and hurriedly waved her other hand to Monica.

"It's okay!" Monica said this, then leaned back slightly, looked past Cynthia, and looked in the direction of the door of the living room, she had already heard the movement, and knew that Don Ji was back, and the others at the coffee table also looked over, but immediately withdrew their gaze, because Tang Ji had already come over.

"What's for dinner? Wow...... Rich enough, Laura's craftsmanship is getting better and better, so hungry......" Don Ji walked over to Monica's side and sat down, looked at the food on the table, and said with a slightly exaggerated smile.

"You don't come often, it's like this every time, it's not like this to praise people, you don't have to praise me every time in the future, I'll be happy to come to dinner on time." Laura glanced at Tang Ji, shook her head with a smile and said, every time Tang Ji came late, he would praise Laura's good craftsmanship.

"I'll try my best!" Tang Ji smiled and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and made an OK gesture to Laura.

Laura's face immediately showed a look of "like this again", and Don Ji said every time as much as possible, but never promised.

"Baby, how are you doing in the afternoon?" Tang Ji, who was sitting down, turned around and kissed Monica beside him, quietly touched Monica's stomach with his hand, and asked with a low smile.

"Uh-huh, that's good!" Monica nodded and chuckled.

Dinner continues.

Megan, who was opposite Tang Ji, saw that Tang Ji had already started to eat after saying hello after sitting down, and her body stood up slightly.

"Sit there and don't move!" Tang Ji's voice sounded immediately, first the fork in his hand pointed at Megan, and then Tang Ji slowly raised his head, squeezed out a smile at Megan, and said: "Tang Ji, we have already introduced, this is Manila, this is Megan...... Okay, let's eat, don't lean half of your body over the coffee table, everyone still has to eat. Don Ji looked at Megan, and as he spoke, his fingers swiped and pointed around.

"Oh!" Megan, who was enthusiastic about everyone, finally got cold at Don Quixy, because her behavior was really inappropriate, she seemed a little sullen and answered, and began to eat honestly, but soon, Christine and Hanny, who were sitting on the side, chatted and seemed to be very communicative.

About half an hour into the dinner, Tang Ji suddenly put down the knife in his hand, picked up the cup instead, drank the water in it all at once, and then raised the water glass, and gently tapped the empty glass with a fork on it.

"Bell, bell!" Crisp sound.

Everyone around the coffee table quickly fell silent, and they all looked at Tang Ji, who of course had something to say since he knocked on the cup.

"Whew...... Let me tell you something. Tang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and said, glancing at the people around the coffee table, there was a pause on the faces of Christine and Kellyti, he lowered his head and groaned, looked up and said, "I will take the Duke to the laboratory tomorrow morning!"
