Chapter 351 Why Do People Always Say He’s Wrong?
Not hearing Todd’s response, the girl was a little panicked.
“Sir, are you still there? Did you black out?
“No.” Todd closed his eyes tiredly. He said in a weak voice, “I am very tired. I want to sleep for a while.”
“Don’t. You must not sleep!”
The girl knocked on the wall wildly, trying to keep Todd awake. “You have suffered such a severe injury. If you fall asleep and bleed too much, you may never wake up again!”
Todd was amused.
Todd had been training with Ormand in the army since he was a child. How could he be so weak? He would not die so easily.
But the girl next door was the first stranger who cared so much about Todd besides Ormand and
Viola. Todd still felt warın in his heart.
“Sir, are you really asleep? Are you dying?”
The sound of pounding against the wall came again.
“No…”
Hearing Todd’s response, the girl breathed a sigh of relief. “If you are really sleepy, I can talk to you. I can tell you stories!”
“Can you tell a ghost story?”
“Eh… Isn’t our experience right now a ghost story?”
Todd’s eyelids trembled weakly as he looked around the cell. Then, he smiled.
Indeed, it was quite eerie and scary.
“Sir, I can tell cold jokes!”
“The dungeon is cold enough.”
“My joke is even colder than this!”
“Well.”
The more they talked, the more they got along with each other. They chatted for half an hour.
When the doctor came to treat Todd, tlie chat finally ended. By the way, the doctor was called here by Jerry.
Jerry sent Viola back to the small apartment in the suburbs.
Viola could only stay in her room now. She couldn’t move casually in the entire apartment anymore.
But Viola didn’t complain, nor did she feel dissatisfied. She only asked Jerry for two parenting books to pass these few days of boring time.
In terms of food and drink, Jerry did his best to satisfy Viola’s request.
Viola had only been pregnant for two and a half weeks, but she had already begun to experience nausea, sleepiness, and so on. Thus, Jerry hired a female gynecologist. Every afternoon, the female gynecologist would visit Viola to check her condition and treat her.
At noon, Jerry was called over by Cristina.
“Mom.”
Jerry stood in front of Cristina, and there was a coffee table between them.
Cristina put down the coffee cup in her hand, and her expression was very serious. “Tell me honestly, is the child in Ms. McGraw’s belly yours?”
Jerry was stunned. He stared at the ground and replied, “Yes.”
“You still want to protect her and not tell the truth?”
Cristina was so angry that she threw the coffee cup on the coffee table to the ground. The coffee accidentally splashed on her hand.
There was a carpet under the coffee table, so the sound was not that loud.
When Jerry saw this, he immediately went around the coffee table, squatted beside Cristina’s feet, and wiped her hand with a wet tissue.
Cristina saw Jerry’s obedient and filial behavior, and her anger dissipated a lot.
Cristina sighed and said earnestly, “Jerry, what’s wrong with you? I have already investigated it. She has already been engaged in the United States. Looking at your expression, that child is most likely her and her fiance’s, right?”
