"But don't put on that face, come and sit next to me."

Lin Wen beckoned to David, and David did not resist Lin Wen again this time, but approached Lin Wen with his head down.

Sitting beside Lin Wen in despair, his face was full of grievances and discomfort.

Lin Wen looked at his face, and felt a little emotion in his heart, David is only sixteen years old this year, if you change to Lin Wen's previous life, this is still an age when he is studying, is he studying in the first or second year of high school.

However, just now, his life was almost ruined, and it was normal for David to feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.

Lin Wen actually likes David very much, not just because of Gloria, but because of some of David's qualities that Lin Wen feels appreciated.

In this night city, David is a freak, he seems to be numb, living without dreams, but in fact, in his heart, there is a young man's bloody heart, this guy is actually a stinky little ghost with justice in his heart.

He's actually very kind.

Looking at David's appearance, Lin Wen stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair vigorously, David's hair would be a little prickly after being pressed down, but it felt pretty good.

rubbing David's hair in a mess, in his unhappy expression, Lin Wen said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm here." ”

"I have to apologize to you." David looked at Lin Wen and said suddenly.

"Apologize?"

"I shouldn't have been against you before, Mom was right, if it wasn't for you this time, Mom might have been sent to the hospital in Santo Domingo."

Lin Wen Yile increased his strength, "I told you not to worry about it, even if it is sent to the "hospital" in Santo Domingo, it doesn't matter, I will personally go and bring Gloria back." You damn, you don't think I'm doing this for you, do you? I'm for myself. ”

"Gloria is my woman."

David, who was feeling uncomfortable, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable again.

Although he hasn't seen his biological father, but the stepfather who appears in the middle of the road will always be annoying, not to mention that David and Gloria depend on each other, growing up in this environment, of course he will have a lot of disgust with the word "father".

Therefore, when he heard Lin Wen say "Gloria is my woman", David knew that he couldn't be rejected, but he still felt unhappy in his heart.

Especially after seeing Lin Wen's expression!

He was smirking as if Gloria had made him proud.

However, Lin Wen said these words not to reassure David, not to lighten David's burden, but to tell a fact.

For David, Lin Wen just has an appreciation.

But for Gloria, Lin Wen is rare and loving.

In this world where betrayal is as simple as eating and drinking, a woman like Gloria is not easy to find, and it is because of Gloria that David may have such qualities, he will easily trust a person, and it is easy to give himself to help someone.

It's bad, it's stupid.

After all, to say that Gloria is a good person... No, she's definitely not a good person.

Lin Wen knew what work she was doing in private, and although she didn't hurt innocent people, that work was also illegal and had no morals at all.

But in the face of life, is morality really useful?

Therefore, Lin Wen thinks that this quality of David will not last long, Night City is realistic, David will understand this matter sooner or later, if it is not for Gloria to stop the material problems for him, the cruel place of Night City will make him grow up in a day.

But... Aren't you still there?

In Lin Wen's eyes, Night City is a puddle of rotten mud, no, it should be said that the whole world is like this, it is full of withered flowers and plants, all sick, including Lin Wen himself, also among them. In Lin Wen's eyes, David is a rare touch of green in this muddy field, so he is happy to protect this green.

For Gloria's sake, but also for herself.

Then, the two chatted without saying a word.

Most of the time, David asked Lin Wen, and Lin Wen perfunctory David.

However, Lin Wen also asked David one thing during the period, that is, the reason for Gloria and David's unexpected appearance.

David told Lin Wen about the situation at that time, he was still a little afraid, but he still tried to recall those strong gangsters who didn't talk like that, and described their characteristics to Lin Wen.

Then, Lin Wen smiled, and subconsciously reached out and touched the cigarette case, Lin Wen was about to take out a cigarette, but after noticing David's expression, Lin Wen immediately put away the cigarette case again.

Well, here are the hospitals.

And David really hates the smell of smoke.

"David!"

On the hospital bed, Gloria, who had been sleeping peacefully, suddenly sat up, and she screamed forward in horror.

David was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "I'm here, Mom, I'm here." ”

"David? David! Gloria turned around, and when she saw David, she stretched out her hand in a panic, holding David's face hard, she looked David up and down and said, "Are you okay?" You're not hurt, are you? What happened to your face? ”

Looking at Gloria, who had just woken up in front of him and cared about him, David suddenly wanted to cry.

She's fine, it's so good...

David took a deep breath, held Gloria's hand, shook his head and said, "I'm fine." ”

"Hey, I'm still here..."Lin Wen hugged his chest next to him and muttered.

Gloria looked at Lin Wen and said, "Where is this?" ”

"Hospital in Civic Center, relax, Gloria, you are safe now, all is over. But you're almost going to another hospital. Lin Wen said to Gloria with a smile, blinking.

He just wanted to play a joke with Gloria, but after Gloria listened to Lin Wen's words, her expression was unnatural for a moment, her pupils contracted suddenly, and she seemed to think of something terrifying.

After thinking about it, Lin Wen turned his head to look at David and said, "You go out first, I have something to say to Gloria alone." ”

"Hmm." David nodded.

Gloria watched in surprise as David got up and walked out of the door, looked at Lin Wen and said, "He didn't even refute you?" ”

"He's grown up, and for men, growing up is sometimes just a matter of moments, Gloria, you're almost gone." Lin Wen took out his cigarette case, looked left and right, well, there was no instruction to ban smoking, and after lighting it, he took a hard breath, Lin Wen spit out the smoke backwards, and then said: "In front of him." ”

"I thought I was going to die, too." Gloria smiled bitterly, remembering what happened before, she was still afraid, looked around, and said, "This ward, Lin Wen, my medical expenses must be very expensive, right?" ”

"I've already paid for it, you don't have to worry."

It's very expensive, that's more than 50,000 euros.

Originally, I wanted to take Gloria back, but after thinking about it, Gloria's body was too weak, and the hospital was just right to recuperate for her.

Actually, if there was a doctor she could trust, Gloria would have been cured for a few hundred euros at most, but this is a hospital in Night City.

"I didn't get dragged to the hospital in Santo Domingo," Gloria wrapped her hands around her knees, her body trembling a little.

"I shouldn't have mentioned this just now, it scared you." Lin Wen touched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Of course, you're really..."Gloria looked at Lin Wen angrily, and was taken to another hospital, which of course frightened her!

"My job is an outsourced job in a hospital, and I know very well what those guys are doing to the poor. Especially in remote and poor places..."Gloria smiled bitterly, and after David walked out, she opened her heart and talked to Lin Wen, "Those people gave their souls to the devil, and they cooperated with scavengers, and they didn't break people up and sell them behind their families. ”

As an outsourcer in a hospital, Gloria naturally knows best about some of the methods used by black doctors to treat the poor, and she has not profited from them, but Gloria is also a black hand when carrying the corpse, stealing some of the parts on it, and then selling it to the black market.

The only time she really thought that way was because she had no money, and David's school was pressing for an account, and then she caught up with someone who showed up at the trash can when she got off work... It was a rainy night, and there was no one around, so Gloria, who was at the end of her rope, had a bad idea, although she didn't succeed in the end.

The devil knows why the flesh of the original goods is invulnerable!

In short, if she did get to the hospital in Santo Domingo, Gloria knew exactly what she would face.

Will the doctors who work with scavengers be afraid of you? What if you buy a premium medical package? In the territory where scavengers are rampant, this is a bully clause, death and life are all in my thoughts, as for praying to meet a good doctor with a conscience? Ha, a conscientious doctor doesn't work there.

"It's like you dragged me back and tried to tear me down?" Lin Wen looked at Gloria amusedly.

Her face turned red instantly, Gloria coughed, looked at Lin Wen and said unhappily, "Didn't we say we wouldn't talk about this matter anymore?" Besides, I really thought you were dead, otherwise how would I do such a thing? And think about it yourself, a native goods, slick and fell next to the trash can, and there was such a serious shot in the back of the ass, half of the ass even intestines and body..."

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, let's not talk about the past, okay? Let's forget the past. Lin Wen hurriedly interrupted Gloria, and he interrupted Gloria with gritted teeth.

"Poof—" Gloria laughed with her eyes closed, pressed the back of her hand against her lips.

After laughing, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Lin Wen and said, "Thank you, I'm much more at ease now." ”

"Do you recognize the guys who shot them?"

"It's the Animal Gang." "But they weren't targeting me and David, it was a small company with ... I saw the Nokota icon. ”

"Animal Gang," Lin Wen smiled. Extinguish the smoke.

Gloria was silent for a moment, then said, "Stay safe. ”

"You ask David to take a leave of absence, and then take good care of you in the hospital." Lin Wen stretched, stood up and said.

"I'm fine, I can be discharged from the hospital now." Gloria said immediately.

"Out of what hospital? I've already paid the money, do you think they can get it back? If you don't stay for three days, won't I lose a lot? Lin Wen looked at Gloria, "Nutrients and food can't be wasted, just treat your body here." Also, remember to quit your job after being discharged from the hospital. ”

"I quit my job, what should David do, what should I do?" Gloria raised her head to look at Lin Wen and said with a smile: "Resign from your job, you support me?" ”

"Drip-"

Lin Wen transferred the money directly, and the middleman who was frightened by himself transferred the money to himself, and after paying the medical package, there was more than 50,000 left, and Lin Wenquan transferred it to Gloria.

Gloria: "Ahh

"Yes, I'll raise you."
