Ming looked at me. His eyes were cold.
He was rejecting me.
For Lester, I couldn’t care so much. I took him by the arm and said, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I won’t go to the bar again. Please forgive me.”
Ming looked at me and didn’t speak.
I didn’t know what he meant.
I stared at him quietly and didn’t know what to do.
What else did he want me to do?
Was he going to have sex with me?
OK, I could do anything for Lester.
I was fully prepared.
After a while, Ming put the ring in his pocket. He stood up and said to me, “let’s go.”
“OK!”
I thought he forgave me, so I followed him immediately.
I followed him out.
We sat in his car together.
Now there was a smell of wine in his car that hadn’t gone away.
I was a little embarrassed.
But I didn’t speak.
Ming started the car and drove it out of the community. I didn’t speak.
After a while, I noticed that we didn't seem to be driving to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I suddenly got nervous again and looked at Ming. “Where are we going?”
“Pick up Lester.”
He looked ahead and didn’t look at me as he spoke.
“Pick up Lester?”
What did he mean?
Ming was driving attentively. After a while, he replied, “treatment.”
“Treatment?”
“Are you stupid because of drinking? Why do you repeat me?”
At this moment, Ming’s tone, expression and eyes were not as gentle as ever.
Maybe because he didn’t wear glasses, his expression was terrible.
I immediately shook my head. “You said we had to...”
We had to get married before he treated Lester.
Before I finished, Ming sneered at himself, “why should I marry a woman who is drunk and cries in front of me and says she doesn’t want to marry me? My life has not failed so much.”
What?
I sat in the passenger seat and looked at Ming. I had been thinking about what he just said. I opened my mouth and said nothing!
What did he mean? Was he treating Lester without marring me?
I couldn’t believe my ears. I asked, “really? Would you like to treat Lester without marring me?”
He didn’t speak.
I looked at Ming. At this moment, I couldn’t describe my mood. What I had been looking forward to for a long time had finally become a reality!
Ming drove and soon arrived at Sherry’s house.
“Go ahead. Take him downstairs. Let’s go to the hospital now. I’ll treat him.”
Ming sat in the driver’s seat and didn’t even untie his seat belt.
He didn’t want to get off with me.
At this moment, he was totally different from what he used to be.
But I was more at ease!
And I was excited!
I untied my seat belt and quickly went into the house. As soon as I got in, Doris said to me, “madam, the young master has a fever again.”
“It’s okay. He will be all right soon!”
