Jamie rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know."
"Jamie, you really don't know?" Sally grabbed Jamie's wrist.
Jamie shook off Sally's hand and shouted, "I don't know! A bomb and a gun battle? I don't have the ability or the connections to make such a big scene. Who knows who he offended?"
Jamie added in her mind, 'This person did so many things. But why is Caleb still alive?'
Sally heaved a sigh of relief.
'Jamie is right. She wasn't able to do this. But who wanted to kill Caleb?'
In the hospital.
Ceres and Caleb were still arguing about whether Ceres could be Caleb's goddaughter.
Caleb had already considered himself as her godfather, but Ceres still kept correcting him and even said that he should not flatter himself.
"I used to have no sons or daughters. How many people wanted to climb up to be my kids? What are you feeling awkward about? Isn't it good to have one more person to protect you?"
Caleb got anxious.
"No!"
Ceres answered crisply.
"You" Caleb raised his hand but did not let it fall. He really wanted to shake her awake. 'This girl doesn't even know what is good for her!'
"Then tell me, what exactly do you care about?"
Ceres chewed on an apple and mumbled, "Alright, then I'll tell you. Have you ever heard of a saying that what you can't get is the best and those who are favored are fearless?"
Roy tried to suppress his smile. He had heard of it before. It came from the lyrics, but Caleb probably did not know about it.
"No."
"You don't even know this? Then follow the literal meaning and understand this sentence."
Caleb thought about it and smiled.
"It makes sense. People always fight for what they can't get. And those who are favored will never need to suffer this."
"But I don't want to be hooked. Neither do I want to see the smug smile of those favored people. That makes me feel disgusted!"
Ceres put on a straight face.
She had enough of the days living with Jamie. Jamie was always Mother's favorite child. She had enough of being bullied by Jamie.
So how could she accept Jamie's biological father as her godfather? Between the biological daughter and the goddaughter, of course, the biological daughter was the best.
If there was an argument between her and Jamie, she knew Caleb would stand by Jamie.
Ceres no longer wanted to see Jamie's smug look!
Hearing that, Caleb's smile disappeared.
He knew Ceres said this pointedly.
"Ceres, no matter what, you and Jamie are half-sisters. You are brought up by the same mother. Do you have any deep hatred?"
"Since you are willing to listen, I will tell you. Have you seen the red spot on my face? Let me tell you the story of it."
Roy did not interrupt. He also wanted to know why she had this red spot.
"Go ahead. If Jamie did something wrong, I will get justice for you," Caleb vowed.
