Nelson immediately said, “I really didn’t cheat you.”
I put the address in my bag, “I’ll go there first. If you didn’t lie to me, I’ll do a bone marrow match when I
come back with him.”
Well, I just wanted to match. I didn’t say to donate bone marrow to him.
Nelson was obviously embarrassed, but he knew he had no right to refuse. He could only nod, “OK,
come back earlier.”
I held my bag like holding a treasure.
I thought of something and turned around and asked Nelson, “President Lewis, I want to ask you a
question. What did Cindy answer the question of bone marrow matching?”
“She’s abroad and doesn’t have time to come back.”
Nelson insisted.
But I got it.
I said nothing. I went to my car and drove away.
I looked in the rearview mirror and made sure Nelson’s car wasn’t following me. I parked on the side of
the road and called Linda. I told her awkwardly that I wanted to ask for leave.
Linda had long been used to it.
She sighed, “Okay, what can I say? Can I refuse?”
“I’m sure I’ll finish the design. I’ll send it to you. I just can’t be on duty.”
Every time I asked for leave, I couldn’t work on duty.
But I finished the work on time.
Linda had to entertain the clients. It was also a problem.
Linda said, “OK. Hurry to pursue your love. If I refuse you, I’m really afraid that you will become a stone
in the studio. Sean will definitely kill me when he comes back.”
I smiled and said, “thank you. I will reward you when I come back.”
“I just want you to stop asking for leave and be able to entertain the clients with me.”
Linda complained.
I hung up and picked up Lester. I went home with him. As soon as I got in, Murray said, “Ming called
me today."
“He?”
When I heard the name, I was really shocked.
I was going to see Sean soon. He called Murray and I was a little worried.
Although his previous attitude proved that he didn’t care, I couldn’t rest assured.
Murray nodded and said, “he said that if Margaret needs further treatment, she can go to Sacred Heart
Hospital at any time. He said we can go straight to the VIP channel and don’t have to worry about
anything else.”
Murray’s words made me nervous.
Did I miscalculate?
I didn’t speak. Murray added, “in fact, Margaret is in an unstable situation. I want to accompany her to
continue the treatment, but something like that happened before. Although Lester is OK now, I don’t
know if we can trust him.”
Murray was as worried as I was.
I looked down and thought for a moment and said, “I think we can trust him. If you want to take Mom for
treatment, go ahead and pay.”
I was mainly afraid Ming wouldn’t take the money.
Murray widened his eyes. “Are you afraid I’ll take advantage of him?”
“No.” I immediately walked over and patted Murray on the back and said, “don’t be angry. I don’t mean
that. I’m afraid Ming won’t take the money. I don’t think it’s good. He’s in business after all.”
“Of course I know!”
Murray crossed his waist and wanted to lose his temper.
Lester just put the bag down and went downstairs. When he saw Murray’s anger, he tilted his head and
asked, “Grandpa Moore, do you know how to play games? Do you need my help?”
Now Lester was good at playing games. He didn’t need help at all.
Murray listened to him and patted him on the forehead, “yes! Come on!”
With that, he turned on the TV. “I played all afternoon yesterday but didn’t win.”
Lester looked at the game on TV and said scornfully, “I’ve already won. I’ve started playing hard mode.”
“Really? Show me your progress.”
Murray said.
I looked at their special way of getting along and found it interesting.
In the kitchen, Margaret was helping Briana cook. Briana said she didn’t need it, but Margaret insisted,
so I agreed.
At dinner, everyone sat down. I said, “I’m going to Country E on business. I will apply for a visa
tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow.”
“You are in a hurry.”
Margaret was a little surprised.
As soon as she spoke, Lester said, “Mom goes there to look for Dad, so she is in such a hurry!” Then
he looked at me triumphantly and asked, “am I right?”
“Yes!” I looked at Lester and was helpless.
He was too clever.
Murray nodded, “go ahead. You don’t have to worry about us.”
In the evening, I watched the weather of Country E. It was not much different from here. I packed some
simple clothes and applied for a visa the next morning.
Country E was a visa free country. I went through the formalities and got my visa in the afternoon.
I bought a ticket and went home to pick up my luggage. I asked Doris to take care of Lester and set
out.
It was almost a 12 hour flight to Country E.
I got on the plane at 7 o’clock in the evening. Because of the time difference, it was still night when I
got there.
The address Nelson gave me was not the capital of Country E, but the capital of another state, City M.
But when I got off the plane, it was more than 11 p.m. I was not familiar with everything here. I couldn’t
go there at once, so I found a hotel to stay in first.
At 6 o’clock the next morning, I got up and had breakfast and went to the railway station.
I got there by the first train to City M.
I got off the train and took a taxi. I gave the driver a copy of the address Nelson gave me. The driver
looked at me and asked, “are you sure you want to go here?”
“Yes.”
I replied.
The driver returned the copy to me and started the car with a smile.
At first, I didn’t pay attention to the driver’s reaction. I was in the car and I was nervous. I was guessing
what would happen when I saw Sean.
But I found a forest outside and it was desolate. We seemed to have entered a no man’s land.
