In the Clock Mountain psychiatric hospital.
There was an old man sitting in the bamboo forest behind Polly. Her heart was heavy. With an exquisite
fishing rod in his hand, he was concentrating on fishing.
Unfortunately, the fish would never bite the bait. Because what beneath his feet was a lawn. The fish
hook was thrown on the green grass leaves, shining with a golden glow in the sunset.
This was her stepfather, Jared Zhou.
Jared was a mild, upright man. He had never done anything that made him feel guilty. He was betrayed
by his partners, his business was at a loss, and he also got the news on the Internet that slandered
him, so the honest man couldn't bear it and became insane.
Polly' s parents had been arranged by Bruce a long time ago, but none of them wanted her to know
about that.
"Doctor, is there any possibility that Mr. Zhou can be cured?" Brian asked his attending doctor, Jared
Zhou.
"Unlike other patients, Mr. Zhou is very quiet and likes to be alone. He is very cooperative during the
treatment. And the doctors have given him a timely treatment, there is eighty percent possibility for him
to recover. "
"How long will it take?"
"About three years."
Polly's eyes were red, and her slender fingers tightly grasped the steel fences. Under her white and
transparent skin, the blue veins, like the veins of leaves, were clear.
Bruce patted her on the back and comforted her, "Dear Polly, everything will be fine. Everything will be
fine."
She was in his arms quietly.
Three years later, Dad, Lily
She hoped that everything would be fine.
Avril put the tray on the table in front of Polly, and said with a sad look on her face, "Dear Polly. I have a
stomachache and want to go to the washroom. Please take the desserts from table three for me."
"Okay," replied Polly without thinking, picking up the tray and putting it on the table.
It was the first time she worked in a coffee shop after she got married. She had asked for several days'
leave before. She thought she would lose this job, but unfortunately, the shop was short of hands, so
they didn't find a suitable job recently. So she easily restarted her work.
Before that, she had asked for Bruce's advice. To this, he only said a word, Dear Polly according to the
idea in the heart to do, as long as think is happy can.
Although she wouldn't change no matter he promised or not, she would inform him in advance.
This was a kind of respect.
The guest at table 3 is a gentleman. He's alone. Normally, it was rare to see a single man and a girl,
who paid attention to romantic affairs, come to the coffee shop.
"Hello, sir! This is what you want... "
"What? sister-in-law? Why are you here? " With the young man's surprised voice, the guest stood up.
His tall and thin figure blocked the light. Sitting in the shadow, Polly took a deep breath.
The man was Abbe Su.
"sister-in-law, please take a seat!" Abbe received the tray from her with great passion and pointed at
the seat opposite to him.
"Abbe..." After hesitating for quite a while, she said with a stiff smile on her face, "Abbe, Aaron, didn't
play with you today?"
In her impression, Abbe should be hanging out with those rich second generation. A young man like
him, where is there a person quietly hiding in the corner, coffee and dessert habit?
Abbe said reluctantly, "I want to play with them, but they don't want to play with me."
"Why don't they take you with them?"
"It's because of our unhappy family rule? My grandfather had suffered too much in the past, so he was
jealous of sons who were well-dressed and had a sweet memory all day. He didn't allow me to be
together with Aaron and my other buddies. He found it before, and it was only my fault. But now he is
getting older and has a bad temper. As long as he capture my friends, they are like dog training. Tell
me, who can stand it? "
Hearing that, Polly burst into laughter.
"sister-in-law, don't you believe me! I mean it! Last time, Aaron invited you and Bruce to dinner. I didn't
go to the dinner party, but my grandfather grounded me. Do you know why he locked me up? "
"I heard about it. It's because of your brother," said Polly
Hearing that, Abbe said seriously, "on the one hand, it's because of bother! On the other hand, I met
you and Bruce at the door of the curtain shop that day. Because of that event, someone told my
grandfather that I was with those Playboys again, "
"But I was born a playboy. What can I do? I'm confident that I can do better than you. If you cultivate
me in the way of my brother, in the end, I'm going to develop in the opposite direction! "
"What are you talking about?". It seemed that Abbe had suffered too much recently. He was constantly
making complaints.
"So, I came here only for coffee." Abbe took a sip of coffee and said, "In this way, I can be strict with
our old man said, the ancients sleep on brushwood and taste gall, I Abbe now drink bitter water
courage."
Polly Han couldn't help laughing.
Avril took two cups of coffee from the window and put them on the tray. Before she took them out, she
asked in confusion, "Dear Polly, what did you say to that man just now? Why are you so happy? "
"Nothing, just a little chitchat. Poor guy was going to be suffocated." "His name is Abbe. You know him
too. He is one of the handsome men who came to see me at the hospital that day. You was mad at him.
"
"Humph!" Avril snorted, "I don't want to know that kind of person!" Then she walked away without
looking back.
A glimmer of doubt crossed Polly's mind. She had a bad feeling about the way Avril talked to him?
"Before you came here, many things had happened in the cafe." Then a female worker beside her
came up to Polly, Ellen. Ellen was about the same age as Polly and Avril. The three of them could get
along well with each other.
"What happened exactly?"
"The handsome guy at table 3 will come here as long as Avril is on duty, and he will ask her to serve for
him! He would lose his temper if it was someone else! Just now, as soon as I looked back, I saw you
carrying a snack. Ah! I was so scared! Fortunately, the handsome guy didn't get mad. "
"Really?"
Ellen nodded seriously, and then a look of gossip bloomed in her eyes, like a sparkling red star. "Wow,
Avril looks so beautiful. Does the handsome man have a crush on her?"
As she knew who Abbe was, she felt the whole thing was quite dubious.
"Dear Polly, what do you mean by that! Let me tell you, Avril's charm cannot be ignored! The man
outside our shop is the most mysterious and cool Lemon. Avril is always connected with him. "
"Lemon?" That was the dessert master Ellen was referring to.
"It's him! I saw Lemon and Nancy talking with each other personally the day before yesterday.
Unfortunately, Lemon was not in the shop today. People heard that he would take part in an
international competition. Alas, it is a once in a century chance for us to meet the hero to save the
beauty. "
"Hey, look, quickly!" "As a handsome man, don't you think he are too ungraceful! Don't judge a book by
its cover! "
Seeing that Avril passed by table 3 with a cup of coffee, Abbe stretched one of his legs out suddenly.
Suddenly, she tripped over by him. The coffee on the tray flew out and spilled on a man.
"Hey, the silver mask! What the hell is that? " Ellen murmured in surprise.
As soon as she saw that man, she felt something wrong. The mask covering the man's forehead and
nose.
In response to the coldness of the silver mask, the man's whole body seemed to be covered by a layer
of ice, which made him so cold that even the soft yellow light in the coffee house gave out a cold
melody.
"Sir, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Avril got up in a hurry and took out napkin to wipe the coffee on his face.
The man was in a handmade, high-end suit, which looked exactly like what Bruce was wearing.
Even though they had worked in this coffee shop for a lifetime, they couldn't afford the price of this suit.
The two cups of coffee were not small, and they were almost all sprinkled on the man's body, a large
part of his chest wet. If this man got angry, what would Avril do?
Avril wiped for a while, but it didn't work. She lowered her voice and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry. How
about this? You leave your clothes here and I'll help you wash them clean. "
The man's eyes through the silver mask, looking at her indifferently. Without saying anything, he
unbuttoned his suit with his slender fingers one by one. As soon as he lifted her arm, the suit was taken
off and thrown casually on Avril.
"No, thanks." Then he turned around and walked towards the door. Tall and thin, cold and mysterious
temperament, instantly attracted the attention of many female customers in the cafe.
"Wow, so handsome!" "But, what do he mean by that?" Ellen asked, wiping her saliva with her hand
"I didn't get it. But fortunately, that man didn't mean to make a fuss about the trifles with Avril.". He took
off his suit. Did it mean that it was dirty?
It's not the right time to guess the reason. Polly walked quickly to them, gave a cold glance at Abbe,
and then pulled Avril back to the kitchen.
"Avril, are you all right?"
Avril bit her lips, the muscles on her face forming angry lines. She did not say a word. Tears turned in
her eyes several times, but she was held back by herself.
"Avril, let me have a good look at you. Did you get hurt?"
Polly had never seen her crying. On the surface, she was not the kind of quiet girl who would
occasionally show her emotions on her face, but those were just superficial injuries and they were not
worth mentioning.
But it was hard to say what was hurt in her heart.
Noticing that Avril's right hand was under her armpit all the time, Polly thought that she stretched out
her hand and asked, "is it broken?"
It seemed that Avril had regained her composure. She shook her head and said in a low voice, "no, it's
not hurt. The cut is here."
Polly bent down and indeed saw a small white bra under her armpit with a length of about 20
centimeters.
She immediately realized that the man threw the clothes to Avril not because he disliked them, but
because he wanted to cover them for her. 'Abbe has gone too far. Why does he still make fun of Avril?
The sound of fingers lightly sliding on the board, accompanied by a few dry coughs, Abbe stood at the
door.
