"Mom..."
Chris wanted to explain it, but Susan didn't even give him a chance. She turned around and left.
John looked at Chris and sighed.
He also wanted a capable son-in-law like Alfred. Then they would live a good life.
But John knew it was impossible.
Thinking of this, John shook his head and left.
After John and Susan left, Chris, Esther, and Hope went back to the basement.
There was only one bed in the basement, and it was very small, so Chris had to sleep on the floor.
Thinking of the sufferings today, Esther couldn't help weeping on the bed.
Chris heard her weeping. He felt sorry and comforted her, "Sorry, Esther. I know I shamed you today. I promise..."
Before Chris could finish his words, Esther interrupted him, "Forget it. I don't care if you are really mad. Anyway, you are my husband and my daughter's father. I don't care about anything else, as long as we are together."
Chris was moved by her words.
"Esther, don't worry. I will ensure you live a good life. Oh, by the way, I've found a good doctor at East Coast Hospital. Our daughter can have surgery tomorrow."
Esther was delighted, "Really? East Coast Hospital is the best hospital in this city. How did you make it?"
Chris smiled, "I have a good friend here. He's quite powerful in East Coast, so I asked him for help."
Chris didn't tell Esther his real identity. After all, even if he spoke the truth, Esther wouldn't believe it.
Esther didn't doubt Chris's words.
Chris had worked for the military for five years. Definitely, he should have some powerful friends there.
Now that her dear daughter could finally have surgery, Esther felt relieved.
The night was quiet.
The next day, they got up early.
"Esther, my friend is waiting for us."
"OK. I'm coming!"
Esther hurriedly washed her face and took Hope out.
When she came out, she was shocked by the scene.
There were about ten military vehicles parked on the road. Every one of them was filled with armed soldiers.
Tiger, who wore the combat uniform, came over and said respectfully to Chris, "Master, please!"
Chris nodded. Obviously, he was used to Tiger's respectful attitude.
When they got in the car, Esther whispered to Chris, "Chris, you have a powerful friend. He can even order so many soldiers."
Chris just smiled and didn't speak. He would have called a helicopter here if he were not afraid that it would scare Esther.
Even so, Esther was very surprised.
Esther looked at Tiger on the passenger's seat and asked, "Hello, are you Chris's friend?"
Friend?
Tiger turned around and was confused.
Nobody was qualified to be Chris's friend all over the country.
Tiger looked at Chris and saw Chris wink at him.
Tiger knew his meaning. He smiled, "Yeah. I'm Master's friend."
Esther asked curiously, "Why do you call him Master? What is Master?"
Tiger scratched his head and said, "It is a very long story..."
Tiger didn't know how to explain it. Chris smiled, "Esther, Master means the master of all the armed forces."
Chris was the Primus, and also the master of the navy, the air force, and the ground forces.
Well!
Esther didn't know what it meant, but she nodded and didn't ask more.
