In the car, after a long day of tossing and turning, she leaned back on the passenger side and closed her eyes to rest. the Gibson family's yard was the same as before, except that the surrounding landscape had been restored over the years.
The pond in the yard was filled in and fruit trees were planted. It was winter and the leaves were falling off the trees and the trees were bare and protruding.
I parked the car outside the yard and watched Shaw go in. She took a few steps and suddenly looked back at me with a serious face and said, "Clara, if, and I mean if, if Mr. George were gone, would you take a back seat to Hank?"
I froze for a moment, looked at her, met her eyes, in the dim street light, shining light, "No!" This answer I gave very sure, "you have said, is if, my world is no if, I am a stubborn person, this life is Dennis, and can only be Dennis, except for him, others for me, are passing."
She looked at me, sighed deeply, for a long time, looked at me and nodded, "Um, okay, I get it!"
This guy's problem, really, is quite sudden.
Watching her go in, I looked at the filled pond slightly froze, everything seems to be unable to return to the old days, the first time I saw Hank, is in the Gibson family, then he said little, the face of the blandness is evident.
I think of the day he picked me up from the Gibson family, and when he got off the bus, he chased me behind him and was accidentally pushed into the pool by me, it was a very cold winter that year, and he got sick the next day, and then his cell phone broke, so I counted the time that has passed for a long time, and it seems to be almost forgotten.
After a long time, I turned around and prepared to go back.
I froze when I saw the black Bentley parked next to my car, and the person standing next to the car was none other than Hank, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
His dark eyes were looking at me motionlessly, a black suit, the whole person looked lonely and indifferent, and the air of rejection in his body became more and more obvious.
He looked at me, probably because of the thin relationship, the bridge of the nose looks more and more high, a pair of black eyes more and more profound, "Clara, I am far from thinking about you because I can not get so simple, do you still remember the first time you came to the Gibson family look? The first time you came to the Gibson family, you didn't like to talk, you were always silent, or smiling, very quiet, my mother said to me privately, a girl like you, very gentle, I thought at that time, a woman, what is the use of gentle? Later you pushed me down into the pool at the pond, now think about it, I have forgotten the cold water of the pool, the only thing I remember, indeed that was your look, open and bright, although angry, but very beautiful. I carried you out of the warehouse when you were covered in blood, you probably forgot, you dragged me to death, stubborn and stubborn, told me that I must save the child, that kind of you is very heartbreaking, I was thinking, Dennis such a person how can deserve you ah, he does not even know how to protect you."
I pursed my lips, slightly bowed my head, too much past, some face is not the same.
He continued to speak, bitter smile, "At that time I thought, no matter what, I must take care of you in the future, the child was born, I have seen, has been deformed, afraid of you hard I sent the child away, do not want you to see hard, later you know that the child is no longer, mental trance, always wake up in the middle of the night by themselves in the room sitting dazed, I did not know at first. Later found out, it was with you all night long, time after time, you will sit by my side, pull me and say, let me close my eyes and sleep, rather like you are coaxing me."
"You probably don't know that those days were my happiest days, you would always wake up in the middle of the night and cover me up, sometimes you would wake up in the morning and go to the kitchen, saying that you wanted to make me breakfast, you were in a trance, from time to time the breakfast you made was either bad or inedible, you would add sugar as salt to the noodles, in fact the sweet noodles were quite delicious, later I always You said there is no if in your world, but Clara, you don't know how cruel this is to me."
I looked at him, the mind hurt through the old days, suddenly some hard feelings, I can not deny the thing, I owe him a lot, can not pay off a lot.
