Chapter 60: Jealousy
Lindsey gently got out of bed and opened the door, stood quietly in the dark, waited for her eyes to adjust to the light, and then looked around.
Her eyesight is excellent, she looked around and found a large vole, frowned, and returned to the house without a sound.
After sleeping until 7:00, Lindsey got up and called Fiona, asking her to use the baby as an excuse to persuade Grandpa to go to the provincial capital for a checkup.
Fiona readily agreed and said she would call immediately.
Lindsey relaxed and made breakfast after the meeting, and sure enough, she heard Grandpa complaining. He agreed to go for a check-up, but not right away, but to finish a course of treatment for Bruce.
The results were already better, and Lindsey didn’t dare to push him too hard.
On the fourth day of treatment, Charlotte called again, this time even more furious than last time.
“Sis, take it easy.” Lindsey said, walked to the courtyard, tilted his head far up and looked at the sky.
At this end, Charlotte’s also irritated tight. She never thought that her aunt would reveal the news and plan to buy the murderer secretly.
Sighing, she changed to a lighter tone and said soothingly, “I’ll probably be at your house at night, remember to prepare a room for me.”
“Conditions here can’t be good, didn’t Old Mr. Grant send Cary over, so you don’t have to come.” Lindsey looked back at the adobe building that hadn’t been renovated and said with a headache, “What are you worried about with me around.”
“It’s different, he’s my brother, the only brother in the world.” Charlotte’s tone sank, and added: “Cary is not going this time, I’ll take two other boys over.”
Lindsey was somewhat moved: “Well, then, those two people are arranged in the dark, you just come over to experience life.”
“Well, I’ll contact you when I get there.” Charlotte let out a long breath and hung up sharply.
Lindsey put away her cell phone and turned around to see Bruce getting off the stone mill by himself, with an awkward smile on his face.
Bruce was unconcerned and slid over to her side, controlling the wheelchair himself and smiling bitterly, “Did the news get out?”
“Well.” Lindsey nodded, “It leaked the day after I got here, it was your great aunt.”
Bruce didn’t say anything, not even the slightest change of emotion could be seen on his face.
Lindsey looked at his bland appearance and felt pity for no reason.
The fact that he grew up in a family like that must have caused him a lot of pain that ordinary people can’t understand.
Silence for a few seconds, she looked up at the sky, turned around and went to the backyard to dig up some earthworms, took the fishing rod and returned to the front yard with great enthusiasm, proudly raised her eyebrows: “Take you fishing, by the way, let you open your eyes.”
“Sure.” The corners of Bruce’s lips rose slightly, and the doting in his eyes could not be hidden.
Lindsey didn’t even notice his eyes, put on the pocket and ran out with the fishing rod.
Bruce then followed, not far out of the way, the mysterious Adem, also with a fishing rod, a look of chance encounter smiling to catch up.
Lindsey turned around and waved at Adem, smiling brightly, and Bruce’s eyes dimmed as he jealously watched Adem and her walk side by side.
The Heard family’s old house is two hundred meters to the left, there is an old pier. The steps down to the riverbank had become potholed due to age and disrepair.
Bruce stopped at the roadside, unable to get down with a lot of fire in his belly, and too embarrassed to ask Lindsey for help.
The steps were a bit steep, and Lindsey and Adem’s figures soon became smaller. Only the sound of joking and laughing, along with the wind into the ears, pins and needles, piercing his heart throbbing.
After staring blankly at the river not far away, Bruce turned his wheelchair around, and within a meter of sliding out, he heard Lindsey yell behind him, “Bruce, wait for me.”
Turning back in amazement, he saw Lindsey climbing up the steps with her fishing rod, panting, her cheeks flushed with sweat, and she was particularly attractive.
Bruce looked a little dazed, flabbergasted for a long time before saying sullenly, “You walk slowly, and not afraid of falling.”
“I’m fine, I was just talking to Adem, I forgot to tell you, the fishing place is not here.” Lindsey gasped, giggled, and patted his shoulder, “Come on, I’ll push you.”
Bruce, who had just hit rock bottom, instantly flew straight to the clouds and nodded his head busily.
“Here, take it.” Lindsey leaned down and shoved the fishing rod over, with a huge smile on her face.
Bruce has not yet reacted, people are pushed by her, speedy down the river path all the way forward.
The hand still seems to carry a trace of cold touch, electric current general tingling leap through the limbs. He quietly clenched his fist, side eyes stared at the two overlapping shadows, thin lips a little curved a nice curve.
“Lindsey, why do you say go!” Before he reached the place, Adem caught up with him again, his gaze swept over Bruce’s legs in an unkind manner, and raised his hand to the handle of the wheelchair: “Let me push it.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Sure.” Lindsey let go of her hand and happily put her hands behind her back, winking at him, “I heard your mom say in the laundry this morning that she’s getting ready to propose to you, which girl is she.”
“Listen to her nonsense.” Adem denied it: “She must be saying that because she wants you to persuade me to go on a blind date.”
“Then you go on a blind date.” Lindsey laughed.
Adem was silent, the smile on his face became a little bitter, and he didn’t answer.
The two of them are in perfect harmony, and their hearts are sour.
Bruce handed the rod back to Lindsey and casually joked, “If you can’t catch one, we won’t have any food to eat tonight.”
“You underestimate me!” Lindsey grunted with her chin up, squatted down to lengthen the rod, and hung bait on it.
Adem didn’t move, but watched Bruce without moving, and after a full half minute, he withdrew his eyes and laughed at himself for thinking too much.
Lindsey said, after graduating from college, the biggest wish is to stay in Xianghuai, to accompany Grandpa Xue to spend his old age. No matter what Bruce’s origin was, his family would definitely not agree to his staying.
When he was cured of his injuries, he had more opportunities to spend time alone with Lindsey. Thinking of this, he suddenly had a more secure way – to confess to Lindsey, to set things down.
As long as she nodded yes, who cares who Bruce is, all stand aside.
Lindsey hung the bait and gave Bruce one of the rods, jokingly saying, “You’re just going to feed the fish for me.”
“Okay.” Bruce simply replied, seeing Adem standing there looking at Lindsey, his heart was quite unhappy.
The two people fishing alone, Adem interfered with a bar what.
Jealousy is jealous, but Bruce actually knows very well in his heart, back to Samuel, Lindsey is no longer the Grant family’s grandson-in-law identity, who she likes is her freedom.
At this point, Adem came back from his reverie and naturally tapped Lindsey on the shoulder: “Lindsey, I have a few words to say to you.”
“Uh …” Lindsey was slightly flabbergasted, put the fishing rod down and nodded with a smile, “Sure.”
Adem smiled back and took his rod and continued down the path.
Bruce looked at the back of the two intimate, dead clenched fists, the bones on the back of the hand, a knuckle convex, as if at any time will poke through the skin.
