"What's on your mind?" Looking at his daughter's guilt-filled face, Jessie's father knew what she was thinking, and after sighing inwardly, he flicked her forehead.
Jessie covered her forehead which was painfully bounced, "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Don’t think too much about it." Jessie's father said.
Jessie bit her lip, "I don't think much of it."
"If you didn't, then what were you just fuming about? Well, tie the gauze." Jessie's father pointed to the gauze and changed the subject.
Jessie picked up the unopened gauze and unwrapped it, then used scissors to cut it into small strips one by one.
The latter step was to wrap the gauze, so Jessie didn't need George's teaching.
George also just sat quietly on the hospital bed and watched, his head lowered.
After a while, Jessie came to hold the wound well for her father and was packing the medical kit.
Jessie's father stood up, walked towards George, went to the hospital bed and then looked at him with cold old eyes.
George also lifted his head, his gaze calmly locked with Jessie's father.
To Jessie's father's surprise, this time, he actually did not see any hatred in George's eyes.
He knew how much this boy hated their Robinson family, and every time they met, the way he looked at them, he hated their Robinson family to death.
But now, he did not see the hatred in George's eyes, not even anger, only calmness.
It was as if, they, the Robinson family, were not his so-called enemies, but strangers with no connection at all.
What was this all about?
Jessie's father stared at George for a moment, not understanding why George suddenly lost his hatred for their Robinson family, but he did not have the intention to ask.
In his opinion, although George did not look at them with hatred anymore, in his heart, he was definitely still like that.
So what was he asking so much for? There was no point.
"Kid!" Jessie's father spoke in a deep voice, "Just now you taught Jessie to dress my wounds, don't expect me to thank you."
George raised his eyes and said in a light tone, "I didn't expect you to thank me."
This honorific address once again stunned Jessie's father.
"You ......" His eyes stared at George in amazement for a long time before his mouth opened and he made a sound, "You kid, you don't have a brain fever, do you?"
George frowned, "I'm fine!"
"If you're so fine, why are you saying that?" Jessie's father questioned, "This is definitely not how you should address me, say it, do you have some kind of conspiracy?"
George snorted, "I'm in this state, what kind of conspiracy can I have?"
"Hmph, you're like this, and you still haven't dispelled your intention to let Jessie abort the baby either, haven't you?" Jessie's father sneered.
George pursed his lips and was about to say something, but Jessie, who had finished packing the medical kit, came over.
She first looked at her father before finally dropping her gaze to George, "Don't worry, I will promise you to get rid of the baby."
These words not only stunned Jessie's father, but also caused George's face to change slightly, his pupils suddenly contracting for a moment.
Jessie's father grabbed Jessie's shoulder with an unprecedentedly serious expression, "Jessie, do you know what you're talking about? Get rid of the baby? Why would you do that? Isn't this the child you've been waiting for? For his sake, our family hid from home to abroad, and you even went to the extent of hypnotizing yourself to forget about George for his sake, so that you could better regulate your mind, get well and give birth to this child, and now you want to take away this child that you have worked so hard to protect for my sake?”
Jessie bit her lip.
