He spoke in a very gentle voice. He faced me and blocked the sunlight from the glass behind.
He was in the shadow.
In the past, his tone and expression made me feel comfortable like summer wind.
But at this time, I just felt cold sweat behind me.
But I didn’t flinch. I looked him in the eye and said, “because I don’t want to marry you and have anything to do with you, but I also want to save Lester.”
“Why are you so greedy?”
He spoke slowly.
His tone was still gentle.
“I’m not greedy.” I sneered. “Daisy said you wanted revenge, but you pestered me.”
“You’re a beneficiary, aren’t you?” He looked at me. “You changed Sean’s AI for yourself, didn’t you?”
“But you stole it! Those things are Sean’s.”
I said firmly.
I had thought about it for a long time.
Those things had always been Sean’s. Even if I later disobeyed my words and left him, I didn’t owe him!
Ming started the car and faced the front and sneered, “business is like a battlefield. Everyone has to admit defeat. Am I the only one who wants to beat him? Definitely not. Whoever defeats him, he fails. Will he complain about unfair competition?”
Ming said slowly.
It sounded reasonable.
I couldn’t find a flaw.
He was right. Enterprises naturally wanted to win a bigger market through various competitions.
If not, the best way was to kill people who already had a large market. Then the market was empty and someone could fill it.
The same was true in the entertainment world.
Ming and I didn’t talk anymore.
We got to the city. He took me right to Sherry’s house. He looked at me and said, “Becky, see you in two weeks.”
His tone was firm.
He knew I would go to him.
The medicine given by Ming was really powerful.
After three pills in three days, Lester really didn’t have a fever anymore. He became alive.
He ate a lot and his eyes were bright. He seemed to have recovered completely.
He hugged me happily and said, “Mom, I’m finally recovered!”
“Yes.” I felt Lester’s soft hair, but I was more worried.
The more effective this medicine was, the more it proved that he would have a fever again in two weeks.
Time flied. Lester didn’t go to kindergarten, but he was normal at home. His temperature was normal and his stool was normal.
I hadn’t been to work these days. I accompanied him and watched him.
Two weeks after Lester took the medicine, he had a fever again.
I touched Lester’s hot body and my tears fell down unconsciously.
Lester was lying in bed and watching me cry. He took me and said, “Mom, don’t cry. I don’t feel bad.”
“OK...” I nodded.
I was very flustered.
I took out my cell phone and called Sean.
But his cell phone was still off.
I took Lester’s hot hand and I was really flustered.
What should I do? Did I really have to marry Ming?
Did I still have to go this way?
