After hesitating for a while, Hal grinned and said, "of course I'm in the hospital. You know, I'm in poor
health. I have to be put on IV frequently. "
"Then tell me which hospital you are in. You have been sick for so many days. As a good friend, I
should go to see you."
"No, thanks! It's not my first time to get sick. I have learned to deal. It's not a big deal. "
"It's different this time. I heard that your holiday came to an end, and then the next one was a vacation.
I must go to see you. Otherwise, how can I rest assured? "
"You really don't have to go now..."
"Cut the crap! Tell me, which hospital are you in!"
"Well, are you at school now? I'll pick you up. "
"Hal!" The man on the other end of the line hung up before Polly could say anything else. She was a
little angry and sad at the same time. This person was not really very frank. If it was an IV drip, why
would he come to pick her up? He once again worked together with Avril to deceive her.
Ten minutes later, Polly got in Hal's car. She couldn't help getting angry at the sight of the fresh, young
man.
But before she could say anything, Hal had already guessed what she was going to say. He smirked
and teased, "Dear Polly, you are so lovely! People always say that A University is good at nourishing
people, which is true. Hahaha... "
No matter how much Hal was laughing, Polly just sat there without any expression on her face or eye
contact with him. He couldn't bear his dry atmosphere any longer. "Hey, Dear Polly, you said you were
going to see me in the hospital. Now that you've already seen me, I'm very energetic, aren't I! Then
what should I do next? Would you like to go back to the dormitory or go shopping with me. My driving
skill is not good. I just got the driver's license... "
Polly was still calm, face forward, eyes staring in front intently. It made Hal misunderstand that
something interesting was happening on the road. He couldn't help but turn his head.
Of course, there was nothing else except a black oily Road on which a few people walked occasionally.
"Dear Polly! What do you want? Say something to me. If you don't tell me, how can I know! " He had no
choice but to beg for mercy. He observed the expression on Polly's face carefully.
There was a suffocating and dull silence in the car. The sound was so quiet that Hal could even hear
his own heartbeat. A sense of embarrassment and uneasiness quickly spread around him, and even a
chatterbox like him had nothing to say.
"Have you finished?" Polly asked in a low voice after keeping silent for about a minute
Hal nodded in a daze, with an innocent and adorable expression on his face.
"Now that you have finished your words, it's my turn to continue," "Before I say anything, get your face
back to normal first," she ordered, glaring at him
"I'm in my normal state, and I'm always fine..." Hal complained
"Yeah, I think so! Well, let's wait here. " Polly tucked a wisp of hair behind her ear and said, "I have
plenty of time. I want to see if you can stay here as if nothing has happened."
"Dear Polly!" "Just say it. No need to be so serious." said Hal, blinking with bright eyes and fluttering
eyelashes
"Hal, you are still unwilling to tell me the truth, aren't you? I have given you many chances to confess to
me voluntarily ever since we got into the car! Since you don't give in, don't blame me for being rude to
you! "
"Hehe, Dear Polly, what are you talking about? We are not gangsters. Why do we follow the Mafia
path? Hahaha... "
"Hal Xia, I warn you. Don't bullshit me, or I'll break off all ties with you!"
With both of his arms on the steering wheel, he turned his head to look at Polly. His handsome face
was wearing a pair of thick eyebrows slightly twisted. His thin lips slightly opened, as if he wanted to
say something, but finally he held back himself.
"From now on, answer my questions. As long as you answer yes or no, you are not allowed to say
anything else, understand? "
"Dear Polly, you're too serious. You look like a lawyer, aren't you? I..."
"No more nonsense! That's it! I find that I can't be kind to you at all! " "Tell me, is Avril's grandpa dead?"
His eyes fluttered, and the fan-shaped shadow on his eyelashes disappeared, leaving dazzling and
interlaced shadows on his face.
"Who told you that? I just knew it. Avril's grandpa is... "
"Please answer me, yes or no?"
Hal mumbled for a while. He wanted to struggle, but finally gave up. He replied honestly, "yes."
"You didn't ask for leave for your disease. You went to the hospital to help Avril, didn't you?"
"Yes." Frustrated, Hal said in a low voice, "Why are you asking me now? You already know it."
"Yes! I know everything! If I didn't know, would you dare to conceal it from me! '! Haven't we reached an
agreement with each other that we should face together no matter what happens? I treat you as my
best friend. Why do you always treat me as an outsider? "
Polly got more and more emotional as she talked. Her face turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
At this moment, she had mixed feelings. She was worried about Avril, sad for the death of her only
family member, and she was angry with Hal.
"Dear Polly, don't cry." He took out a facial tissue and wanted to wipe her tears. It was the first time that
he had seen her crying so hysterically.
She took the tissue from his hand and wiped her tears away.
"I'm sorry Dear Polly. It's my fault. I never thought about it. Avril and I both know that you are not in a
good mood these days, so we haven't told you about it. "
Clenching the paper into a ball and throwing it away, she yelled, "Hal, you are lying to me! Do you think
I'm stupid, innocent and easily fooled? "
"Dear Polly, I didn't..." Compared with the arrogance in the beginning, he was lack of confidence.
Clenching her lips, she looked at him with her big and bright eyes, reflecting his struggle and hesitation.
"I'll give you the last chance to tell the truth. If you say something ambiguous again, I think we really
don't have to be friends in the future. "
"No way!" Hal sat up straight and grabbed her by the arm. "Dear Polly, I just think it might not be a good
thing for you if you know it. I can do these things by myself. Just let me do them myself... "
His voice became lower and lower. In the end, he let out a long sigh and looked desolate. "Dear Polly.
Avril's grandfather died the day before yesterday. Avril, I've been unable to get in touch with her. She
hasn't had the last chance to see her grandpa. "
This matter in Polly expected, she did not show too big surprise, but at the moment is covered with
thick tear fog, can only hear the sad voice of Hal but how can also not see the expression on his face.
"Grandpa won't close his eyes until the end. He kept talking about Avril, Avril..." "I comforted him that
Avril would come soon. Later, I had no choice but to find a nurse whose voice was similar to Avril's, and
then grandpa went. "
Expressionless, Polly listened to his words quietly. Her thin eyelids could no longer bear the weight of
tears. The hot liquid dropped from her eyes all of a sudden.
"When grandfather left..." Tears welled up in her eyes as she said this. She felt a shiver run down her
spine as she failed to finish her words.
Holding her hands, Hal said in a low voice, "he's good. He thought it was because that Avril had come
back, so he left in peace with a smile on his face. But, Avril doesn't know about it yet. If she knows, I
can't imagine. "
Polly didn't dare to imagine that.
That's Avril's only Grandpa. They had lived with each other for so many years and had a deep
relationship with each other. Avril once said to her the biggest wish of her life was to make a lot of
money in the future, so that Grandpa could enjoy a comfortable and relaxed old age life like the old
people in big cities.
This was the most common wish, but why was it so difficult to realize it? Avril had never done anything
bad to achieve her goal. Even if she was so tired and got sick, she would grit her teeth and hold on,
never giving herself a chance to relax.
Wasn't a woman like her supposed to get what she wanted?
It was Simon! If he hadn't imprisoned Avril on the island, such a thing wouldn't have happened. No
matter how sad Avril was, she would still accept the death of her families.
He could never make it up to her! The regret of not seeing her grandpa the last one.
Polly's heart was like being ground by a blunt knife. She asked in a low voice, "where is Grandpa
now?"
"I'm settled. It just ended when I received your call." "Don't worry. I've chosen a good place for
Grandpa. He will lead a happy and peaceful life there," said Hal, with a smile
Polly couldn't help crying. Hal held her in his arms and patted her on the back, "don't be sad. Everyone
has a day. Believe me, the one who died is definitely not the most painful. If I die one day, you can't cry
like this. "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Polly grabbed hold of his thin arm and sadness poured over
her like flood. Tears rushed out of her eyes and wet her T-shirt.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I put my foot in my mouth. I just want to tell you that life should be examined with life and
death. "
"Stop it!" "It's all my fault. She knew that Hal suffered a lot from illness, but he still kept his optimistic
mind. Even so, wouldn't it be a choice to be indifferent to life and death? At such a wonderful age,
everyone wished to live well?
Hal drove Polly to the cemetery. The car ran on the green road in the suburb. After keeping silent for a
long time, Polly suddenly asked, "Hal, do you know where is Avril?"
Hal shook his head and said in a low voice, "before she left, she told me that she was going to her
boyfriend's place and would be back soon. However, she hadn't come back for so many days. I called
her more than once, but she never answered. I've sent people to investigate, but there's no news yet.
My heart is hanging here every day. "
"Do you think Avril will be in trouble?"
"I know where she is." That was all he could say, because she didn't know anything about Avril either.
"You know?" asked Hal surprisingly
"She is in the JC Island."
"Hal, you said the other day that you would tell me something about Avril's boyfriend. Now tell me
about it."
