Chapter 240, cowardice and inferiority

"I accidentally pushed her down. It was she who slammed it on the table. Bennett whispered as he held up Jerry's phone.

"Will she sue me and send me to jail?"

"If you don't call an ambulance, you can hold a funeral for her!" Jerry was so angry that he stood up and grabbed his phone and dialed it.

Bennett stood there and watched Jerry call for an ambulance, not snatching his phone again or helping.

An hour later, the ambulance stopped in front of the house with a shout of 'finished', and several paramedics carried the stretcher into the house, and ten minutes later, carried the old lady into the car.

Behind them, Jerry pulled Bennett and followed. After locking the door, Jerry pushed Bennett into the passenger seat and drove away behind the ambulance.

The commotion outside woke up the next-door neighbor. Dexter had just come out of his daughter's room. He had just told his daughter two stories, and he was about to go to his girlfriend's bedroom, when he heard a commotion outside, and then his girlfriend Rita walked out.

"What happened?" Rita asked in a whisper. Dexter lifted the curtain and looked at it, then lowered it

"The next-door neighbor was injured." With that, he walked over to Rita and walked towards the bedroom with her arms around her.

"Hurt?"

"Well, it's hurt."

"Is it the one who just walked through the wrong door?"

"I don't know."

"I just came back, why did I get hurt?"

"Well, I don't know. Let's sleep. ”………………………… In the hospital, Jerry was busy running back and forth, while Bennett sat in the doorway, looking nervously inside from time to time.

Jerry, who was finally done, came to Bennett and sat down.

"What's going on?" Bennett rubbed his hands awkwardly, looked inside again, made sure his mother hadn't woken up yet, and explained in a whisper

"She came out of the blue, and after learning that I had lost my job, she kept scolding me."

"I was so upset by her scolding that I pushed her and hit the corner of the table."

"I thought she was dead. I was scared. ”

"It's good to have you." After a pause, Bennett's eyes were filled with fear, and his body trembled with it, and he asked in surprise

"What if she's really dead? Am I going to be prosecuted? ”

"They don't think I killed her, do they?"

"What to do, Jerry? I just accidentally pushed her, I didn't want to kill her. ”

"You know, since college, she's always liked to belittle me, she's been calling me a worm, calling me a waste, saying I'm not accomplished, she's saying I'm a waste of air to live, she's ...... I really can't stand it, I just, I just accidentally pushed her. Jerry rolled his eyes and said angrily

"Do you think the prosecutor and the court are so idle?" He knew Bennett, and they had been roommates in their dorm room since college.

Bennett was timid and cowardly, never daring to argue with others, and even dared not fight back when he was bullied. This is because he has a mother with a strong personality.

His mother had been belittling him and undermining his self-confidence, and his mother insisted that Bennett would achieve nothing for the rest of his life.

In the course of a long period of oppression and belittlement, Bennett became less and less confident, and then had low self-esteem. Before Jerry, Bennett didn't even have a friend.

The classmates had always thought that Bennett was mute or deaf. Jerry didn't think much of Bennett either, and if he hadn't really had nowhere to live, he wouldn't have looked for Bennett.

But after living together, he discovers that Bennett hides a soft and kind heart under his cowardice and inferiority.

Bennett would be glad that Jerry had brought his coffee, grateful for the leftovers that Jerry had brought back, and would call Jerry over and over again to confirm Jerry's safety when he went to a bar or opened a room and didn't come home at night.

Jerry sighed at Bennett's expression of joy when he learned that he was moving in with him.

"It's okay, no one will sue you. You accidentally pushed her down. Bennett nodded and muttered

"That's right, I accidentally pushed it down." With that, he looked distractedly at the end of the hallway. Two policemen appear at the end of the hallway.

This is the police officer who called the police after discovering that the patient had suffered an unnatural injury. When Bennett saw the police, his whole body became terrified.

"They're not here to get me, are they?"

"I'm going to jail."

"Will I be sentenced to death?" Bennett's six gods were talking nonsense

"They're here to get me!"

"What should I do!" Jerry sighed again and stood up to meet the officer. He took the initiative to explain the situation to the officers.

Bennett stood still, not daring to approach. He couldn't make out what they were saying, but he nodded vigorously as the officer or Jerry pointed or looked at him, the corners of his mouth trying to curl as much as he could, making sure he had a humble and kind smile on his face.

Jerry explained, and the officers left to look for the doctor.

"It's all right. I've explained it to them. Jerry sat back down next to Bennett and said.

"Thank you! Thank you! Bennett breathed a sigh of relief, bent over, held Jerry's hand with both hands, and thanked him repeatedly

"If it weren't for you, I would be finished. I'm so useless. Thank you so much. Jerry was a little upset by him, but looking at the humble and kind smile on his face, the fire couldn't be released.

Eventually, he sighed resignedly, slumped back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

"I need to rest for a while and I'll have to go to work tomorrow. If she wakes up or something, remember to wake me up. Bennett nodded vigorously and immediately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid to wake Jerry

"I know, you sleep." Jerry waved his hand irritably. …………………… In the haze, Jerry felt as if someone was pushing him.

He shook his head, yawned, and opened his eyes. Really. Bennett was carefully cowering to the side, gently nudging himself with his hand.

That's not even as strong as a three-year-old.

"The doctor just said she might never wake up." Seeing that Jerry was awake, Bennett said. Jerry was startled, stood up and looked at the doctor beside Bennett, and after receiving a nod of confirmation from the doctor, he looked at Bennett again.

"I'm sorry." Jerry said sadly. Bennett was stunned and didn't say anything. The doctor led the two into the ward, stood in front of the bed, and introduced the current situation and the follow-up care to them.

The two stood there listening quietly until the doctor finished briefing and was about to leave when Bennett suddenly spoke.

"I... I'm her only relative, and I... Can I represent her opinion and waive treatment? Under Jerry's incredulous gaze, Bennett craned his neck, his voice getting quieter and quieter, but finally insisted on finishing.

"What did you say?" Jerry pushed Bennett and asked out loud in disbelief

"Are you crazy?"

"No... I didn't. Bennett didn't dare to fight back when he was pushed, but just shook his head like a rattle and explained again and again

"I don't have that much money to get professional care for her. And ......"

"And she's a devout Christian, her soul is gone, and she doesn't want to be disturbed anymore." Jerry's eyes widened and he looked at Bennett in disbelief.

He felt that Bennett was a little strange today.

"Absolutely." The doctor waited for the two to finish arguing before giving professional advice.

"But you need to get permission from the court to prove that the patient has the will to voluntarily give up treatment."

"And I have to warn you that it's possible for her to wake up at any time." Bennett instinctively flinched when he heard the word court.

But in the end, I don't know what supported him, so he made an uncharacteristic choice.

"Jerry." He looked at Jerry pleadingly

"Please. Help me and help my mom, okay? Jerry's gaze wandered back and forth between Bennett and the old lady, and he didn't answer.

β€œplease!!” Bennett pleaded. The doctor shook his head and left quietly.

………………………… Brooklyn can't escape the fate of being drowned in papers. Although he has tried to use various means, threats, inducements, and avoidance...... But Nellie is like an old nun in an ascetic, hard-hearted.

Forced Brooklyn to a chair as he tried to escape, and drowned him in papers.

"These are the economic situation of the court, except for the last page of each book, you can not read it, just sign it at the very end." Like a skilled dealer, Nelly threw out a dozen folders, which happened to fall in front of Brooklyn and spread them out obediently.

"These are bills sent by the court's recognition agency, and I have circled out the important places with a pencil, and you need to confirm them carefully before deciding whether to sign them or not." A thick folder was thrown over and spread out on top.

"These are the appraisal applications of various courts, due to your delay, most of them are supplementary applications, the actual appraisal has been completed, and some of the court trials have been concluded."

"In the future, such applications will be given priority to me." Hearing this, Brooklyn rarely got serious and explained seriously

"All the immediate documents related to the trial must be handed over to me as soon as possible."

"It would be nice to be so active in these things as well." Nelly glanced at Brooklyn with a complicated expression, pointed to the folder on the table with some hatred, and then threw all the documents in her hand to Brooklyn

"See for yourself the rest." Brooklyn dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he obediently took out his pen and opened the folder with a bitter face.

Nelly returned to her place, pulled out a dossier and examined it. Cedric Eucalyptus is Jerry's record, this is the first time he has acted as a clerk independently, Jerry is a little unsure of his achievements, so he finds Nelly to help him check after the recording.

Jerry's trial file will be handed over to Bob, who will inspect it, confirm that it is correct, and then give it to Brooklyn for review, and after Brooklyn signs it, it will be returned to Bob's possession, and Bob will file it with other relevant materials.

Jerry's performance on Cedric's performance is obviously too slow, and his speed will undoubtedly hold the team back when he is replaced by Nelly and Brooklyn's crazy indictment.

Fortunately, this is not the case now, and Brooklyn is not in a hurry to 'swipe orders', and most of his time is spent working on documents, except for fixing two or three cases a day.

He needs to make sure that he has a good understanding of e.. Y's vision is fully realized, and not on some strange fork in the road.

Therefore, Cedric's dossier Brooklyn was in no hurry, and he had forgotten about it even after being inundated with documents.

Bob remembers, but Bob is a warm-hearted man who is willing to give Jerry time to get used to it. Nellie looked at it for a while, picked out a few mistakes, called Jerry, and whispered her experience, how to avoid such mistakes, and how to find similar mistakes during self-inspection.

Jerry had two dark circles under his eyes, and his spirit was a little sluggish, and he listened in a muffled voice and did not speak.

Nelly frowned and didn't ask more. Recently, a sewer newspaper reported that Gov. Reilly Winston and his partner are suspected to be parting ways.

Winston's partner is his ex-wife. Although the two divorced, they became good friends and worked together in the political arena to overcome obstacles and ride the wind and waves.

Nelly doubts that what the sewer newspaper says is true. After all, their sons were so sad that they couldn't sleep at night.

Noon, Mexican restaurant. Courtroom 9's small group still dined here, and thanks to Jerry, they had moved from the window table to the big table in the corner.

Mexican restaurants are popular with court staff and visitors because of their unique location, longer history, and delicious food.

It is said that the owner is in communication with the city government to expand the restaurant. The arrival in Brooklyn made the cacophony of the restaurant louder, with many people getting up to say hello and colleagues in the courthouse raising their glasses.

Brooklyn is in a tough fight against E. Y's transformation is vigorous in this matter, yesterday said to be equipped with a computer, and went to purchase it in the afternoon, and this morning, the computer was sent over.

However, it was not issued immediately, and the court is waiting for the arrival of the Scorpio team. Brooklyn used personal connections to reach out to Walter O'Brien to prepare for the E. Build a tight defense system.

When the defense system is built to ensure that it will not be easily hacked into the court's intranet, the computer will be distributed.

This has increased the court's staff's favorability of Brooklyn. Everyone ordered, and the food came up quickly.

Brooklyn found that Jerry was a little distracted, he used to have a food that was almost comparable to Ray's, but today he didn't perform well, Ray had already killed a plate of tortillas, and Jerry was still holding half a sheet of dough and sending it to his mouth in small bites.

Brooklyn looked at Nelly and asked with her eyes if she had reprimanded Jerry. Nelly rolled her eyes back and elegantly scooped the corn soup and drank it.

So Brooklyn looked at Bob again. Bob had been busy all morning, too tired to notice Jerry's abnormality, and was eating heavily, feeling Brooklyn's inquiring gaze, he looked up blankly and looked around, and continued to eat with his head down.

Brooklyn looked at Ray one last time. In the small team of Court 9, Jerry feared Ray the most, followed by Brooklyn.

Nelly and Bob were more tolerant of him. Ray also noticed Jerry's anomaly, shaking his head as he shoved the tortilla into his mouth and reached over the second plate.

"Jerry." Brooklyn knocked on the table and shouted. Jerry let out an 'ah', a little flustered.

"What's going on?" Brooklyn frowned at Jerry, who had almost spilled the soup. Jerry is very similar to Reilly when it comes to table manners, and he has never been so reckless in the past.
