"I just... I’m just scared, I’m afraid... I’m afraid you’ll leave in the end too." She looked at Norman Bennett, speaking each word carefully.
This departure might not be a true departure.
Like how her aunt used to be very good to her, especially good, and now... turned into what it is now.
"I won’t." He spoke earnestly, holding her hand and placing it over his heart.
She could feel his heartbeat, his warmth.
Yes, anyone might leave her, but not Norman Bennett.
In the end, she managed to squeeze out a childish sentence: "Promise ."
After she spoke, her nose was already red, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I promise." His tone was gentle and unique, carrying a resolute certainty.
As soon as those three words were said, her tears burst forth, carrying all her grievances with them.
He wiped away her tears, but couldn’t wipe them all, finally pulling her into his arms, comforting, "It’s okay to cry it out, there there."
Then he gently patted her back.
Tired from crying, she softly lay on his back, murmuring into his ear, "Norman Bennett, I want a child."
She wanted to leave him an heir, perhaps too soon, but she just inexplicably wanted it.
She didn’t know why, just at that mont.
The mont after she said it, she regretted it, she didn’t want to have a child, she was afraid of the pain.
This coquettish remark left the man a bit helpless, gently saying, "Dear, you’re still young, let’s wait a bit longer for a child."
His little girl was only in her early twenties, how could he bear to let her suffer so soon.
Actually, he would rather not, because his little girl feared hardship the most, feared pain the most.
"I’m afraid of pain." She could only weakly moan softly, she was already in pain, excruciatingly so.
Afterwards, Norman Bennett unusually took a week’s leave, spending every day just with her.
Talking with her, watching TV with her, playing with her, accompanying her in everything.
Her personal space was probably only left to the bathroom.
A ssage ca from her aunt, grandma woke up, but she chose not to visit, only making a phone call to greet grandma.
Going there would only be a nuisance, her second aunt’s yelling wouldn’t be good for grandma’s postoperative recovery.
Many things happened over this week, Zane Bennett also ca to "make trouble" once, guiltily revealing that he told Sumr about Shane Southwell and John Walters.
Though she was quite angry at the ti, in the end she didn’t bla Zane Bennett entirely.
The day before yesterday, Galen Collins also got them notes from the laptop, which didn’t have Nancy’s na, and Lily Clarke’s persona had collapsed, facing lawsuits from all sides.
Even though she was ruined, she couldn’t find any happiness, maybe it wasn’t satisfying enough, she really wanted to throw Lily Clarke into the desert!
Today, October 3rd.
The official announcent said three police officers in North City had been suspended and investigated, just a simple notice like that.
Leaving people puzzled.
Four in the morning.
"Norman Bennett, why did you have to make wake up to go to work with you..." Elliana Lyle sat in the car, sleepily complaining.
The man driving just reached out to touch her head, not answering her complaint.
Probably wanting to keep her by his side, close enough to put her in his pocket.
Yet it was quite nice like this, she liked being with Norman Bennett.
Being together allowed her to turn into soone with no intelligence, not having to think about anything.
But she didn’t want to beco like that either.
She was still waiting, waiting for the plan Galen Collins wouldn’t reveal, Luna had already returned to XRB yesterday, ready at any ti.
During this ti, she understood that sotis relying on others was not enough, opportunities are for those who are prepared.
