Feeling the guilt coming from her daughter, Jessie's mother turned her head to look, "Jessie, what's wrong?"
Jessie sniffled, then shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine, it's just that I got sand in my eyes."
It was better for her not to talk about her guilt towards them.
Otherwise they would surely have had to reassure her in turn.
Seeing that her daughter was reluctant to talk, Jessie's mother sighed and didn't ask any more questions, pulling her to Jessie's father.
"Robinson." Jessie's mother called out to Jessie's father.
Only then did Jessie's father return to his senses and raised his head from the smoke, barely squeezing out a smile at mother and daughter, "You're here."
Jessie's mother nodded, then glanced over to the ward next to him, "He's in there?"
The smile on Jessie's father's face faded a lot, "Yes."
"How is he now? Has he woken up?" Jessie's mother sat down next to Jessie's father.
Jessie sits next to Jessie's mother.
Thinking that his daughter was a pregnant woman, Jessie's father hurriedly extinguished his cigarette and threw it in the bin to the side before replying, "He's fine, he's fine, but he hasn't woken up yet."
Jessie's mother sighed, "Then it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer."
"Waiting for what?" Jessie's father turned his head to look at her.
Jessie's mother didn't hold back and told her about the concern that George might sue him and put him in jail.
Jessie's father's face stiffened for a moment after hearing this.
It is clear that he himself had not thought that such a thing might be possible.
At that time, he was completely in his anger. George had been bullying Jessie.
Thinking of this, Jessie's father smiled bitterly and said, "He has been beaten and injured like this, there's nothing I can do to regret it, so what I'm thinking is, if he wants to sue me, so be it, I'll just go to jail."
"No." Jessie's mother immediately retorted.
Jessie also nodded her head, "Yes, dad, you can't sit in jail."
"That's right, you should never go to jail." Jessie's mother's expression was unprecedentedly serious.
He is the head of the family, what will happen to the family if he goes to jail?
Who will support the family?
However she's not the head of the family, so the family wii be good without her.
And he need to protect Jessie in the future?
Jessie's father looked at Jessie's mother, who had a serious expression, and his mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but after a moment, he still didn't say anything.
Jessie's mother added, "Robinson, listen to me, you should never sit in jail, and it's best not to have that idea."
"That's right, dad." Jessie nodded seriously.
Jessie's father rubbed his brow, "I know you guys don't want me to go to jail, but whether I go to jail or not, it's not up to us to decide, it's up to George, do you think with his character he'll let me go? No, he'll just hold us down in hell."
"I know." Jessie's mother nodded with red eyes.
