089 Recuperation
Under the arrangement of the bearded sheriff, Jonathan was directly hospitalized for treatment.
Ethan, after treating his wounds, insisted on being discharged from the hospital despite the doctor's dissuasion.
After all, my healing speed is not the same, and I will inevitably have to talk more when the time comes.
Blake doesn't want to stay here any longer because of what happened, and she asks Jonathan to leave with Ethan.
Jonathan himself was injured, and in desperation, he had to agree that Blake would follow Ethan back to Banshee Town.
After saying goodbye to Jonathan's family, the two set out on their way back together.
It's only been half a day now, and when I get home, the sun hasn't set yet.
As soon as he entered the living room, before the suitcase was set, Black went straight to the wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of whiskey, took a sip, and then pressed Ethan down on the couch.
"Hey, you're bullying the wounded."
"Shut up."
After three or two movements, Blake's whole body has become smooth and slippery, revealing her proud curves.
。。。。
Although Blake had been smiling on the way back, Ethan knew that the fear in her heart had not gone away.
After all, being imprisoned in a freezer full of fragments of limbs by a perverted serial murderer is not something that can be dispelled in a moment.
Ethan got up and turned on the lights in the room and found a blanket to cover her.
When he took out his phone and walked outside, he was grabbed by Blake.
"You don't go out, just be here."
Ethan hurriedly whispered, "No problem, I'll just make a call." ”
Blake, with his eyes closed, let go of his hand, and Ethan walked to the kitchen and dialed the phone.
"Sheriff, I'm back."
Hood's voice came from the phone, "Okay, how is your friend?" ”
"I'm fine, but I'm a little injured and need to take a few days off."
Hu De's tone became nervous: "Is it serious? ”
Ethan touched the bandage on his thigh with his hand, and there was no new blood oozing from it.
"It's not a big problem, just rest for a few days."
"Okay, then you have a good rest, and I will arrange your work."
After hanging up the phone, Ethan put the phone on the table, opened the refrigerator and took out half a bottle of mineral water to fill his stomach, then returned to the sofa to pick up the blanket and lie down.
Blake hugged Ethan and pressed it to his chest, his brow finally relaxed, and the two of them fell asleep together.
At night.
Ethan's eyelashes twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you awake?"
Blake propped himself up on the couch, and the fingers of his other hand were playfully crawling the lattice on the muscles of his lower abdomen.
"Hmm," Ethan said in a dull nasal voice.
"What time is it?"
In order not to make Blake afraid, he turned on the lights before going to bed, and for a while he couldn't tell whether it was day or night.
Blake pressed his face to Ethan, listened to his strong heartbeat, and whispered:
"It's nine o'clock in the evening, and I'm hungry."
Ethan grabbed the cigarette case on the table and lit it, "I don't want to go out, you can go and see what's in the refrigerator." ”
Blake kissed him, then stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Ethan's gaze followed her round buttocks until Blake bent down to open the door under the refrigerator, and Ethan slowly exhaled a column of smoke.
He struggled to his feet and walked over with a straight body.
"What are you doing, I'm hungry." Blake bit his lip and held on to the refrigerator door, and the next moment, the refrigerator shook violently.
After the two stayed at home for several days, Ethan's comfortable life of recuperation was shattered by an unexpected guest.
Ethan opened the remote gate, and a moment later, a pickup truck pulled up to the front of the house and stopped.
"Beautiful house."
"Thank you."
Ethan smiled and slowly stepped forward to shake Jonathan's hand, in fact, the injury on his leg was almost healed.
But in order not to be so shocking, he still had to pretend in front of people who knew the situation.
Jonathan, who also had bandages on his arms, raised his hand and hugged Blake, then pulled out a stack of newspaper-wrapped items after a few hard strokes from behind his seat.
"Here's what the sheriff asked me to bring you."
Ethan nodded, and the group returned to the house.
After finishing in the living room, Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief after putting his things on the table.
"You have no idea how nervous I was carrying these things along the way."
Blake took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Jonathan, "What is this?" ”
"You can take it apart and take a look."
Jonathan unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip of water, smiling at her.
"Secretly, this is the money your sheriff promised to give, right?" Blake's eyes rolled and he guessed the answer in an instant.
Ethan also grabbed the bundle of newspapers and opened the outside package in a few clicks.
The 100,000 pieces inside were tied together and neatly tied.
Seeing the thick stack of money, both Jonathan and Blake's snorts became heavy.
Jonathan is a small farmer and has a net worth, but he can't help it if he gets 100,000 yuan out at once.
As for Blake, not to mention, he's still in college.
In fact, if Ethan hadn't seen a bigger scene, he would definitely feel excited.
Ethan didn't hesitate, reached out and divided the money into three parts, and then pushed two of them forward.
"Hey, what are you doing, I can't ask for this."
Jonathan hurriedly stood up, and Blake quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"Listen to me, it's the hush money he gave us, okay."
Ethan took the lead in picking up one of the coins and continued: "So this money has a share, don't have a psychological burden, and don't feel guilty. ”
Under his persuasion, Jonathan just accepted 10,000 of them and stuffed the rest of the money to Black.
Looking at her smiling face, there is no problem now, Ethan had treated her thoroughly, and now she has no shadow at all.
In the end, Blake still gave Jonathan all the money and asked him to transfer it directly to him when the time came.
Jonathan had no choice but to put his wallet in the newspaper again, and after seeing that they had taken care of it, Ethan asked:
"How's that going now?"
Jonathan hurriedly said: "There have been a lot of reporters in the town these days, and the sheriff said that he was about to go crazy, but I saw how he looked, and I enjoyed it." ”
"When he handed me the money, let me tell you that the matter has been taken care of."
Ethan also breathed a sigh of relief, he was the most reluctant person to be exposed, it would be inconvenient to do anything in the future, and the bearded sheriff liked it, so let him enjoy it slowly.
Blake's vacation was soon over, and before leaving, Blake went to town to dye his hair tan, giving Ethan a different kind of experience.
Looking at Uber in the distance, Ethan immediately walked back to the house, picked up the scissors and cut off the straps on his thighs, and then walked to the dressing mirror and turned around to take a look.
On the back of the thigh, a scar a few centimeters wide is as bright red as a centipede, and I don't know if it can be erased in the future.
Changing his clothes and putting the money back in the drawer back into the space, Ethan drove the Dodge Challenger towards Davis's Bar
Thanks to Gu Chenxing and the inquisitor of hell for the reward.
