He gritted his teeth and re-dressed himself, regretting that he had listened to Matthew Miller’s orders to go out and collect a debt yesterday, otherwise he would not have been badly injured and now his movements were affected.
As darkness fell, he pushed open the window and looked down. The guest room on the fourth floor was higher than he had expected, and at the moment, with his painful wound and lack of mobility, the chances of a smooth landing were even lower.
But, there was no choice.
After turning out all the sheets, tying the head and tail into a dead-end knot, tying one end to his waist and the other to the end of the bed, and carrying his duffel bag, he mounted the windowsill without rebellion and climbed backwards and downwards.
The surface of the wall was very smooth, he stomped hard, and his freshly wrapped wound bled again. When he reached the second floor, his physical strength gradually reached the limit, although his hands clutching the bed sheet, but his body can not stop swaying.
Not waiting for him to stabilize his body, the bedroom upstairs suddenly came a piercing sound, followed by the other end of the taut sheet lost tension, a strong sense of weightlessness made him forget to think, only instinctively realize that the double bed was not able to withstand his weight!
In a fraction of a second, all he could see was starlight.
“Bang…”
Flesh hit the ground with a dull thud, and after a brief numbness, sharp pains of shattering came from various parts of his body.
Fearing that the sound would alert Matthew Miller, he forced himself up with the support of his mind and limped towards the door.
When he got into the cab, the wound on his body was already bloody, he gritted his teeth and touched the knee of his right leg, as expected, the bone had already deviated from its original position, according to his experience of previous injuries, the fracture of the bone is a minor matter, only to fear the sequelae, this leg will be ruined.
If he wants to save Marisa Miller, he must at least keep himself alive.
He gave the address of a private hospital he often visited and received simple treatment before departing for overseas.
By the time he was in his wheelchair and ready to board the plane, Randall Harrah was already stepping on foreign soil.
After being fitted with a prosthetic leg, Randall Harrah walked with a very strange posture and occasionally forgot to take a step, so he had to take a cane to assist him.
When he arrived at the hospital where Alex Brown was admitted, he heard that Alex Brown had returned home a few days earlier. To make matters worse, Marisa Darcyis in the area and is in the police station for malicious assault.
While the outside world is in turmoil, inside the Wright Family home, there is an outwardly peaceful scene.
Since returning from the Brown Family home that day, Emma Rosy has locked herself away and spends her days with Keira and Master Wright.
However, Master Wright and Joe Wright can see that her smile is not from the heart, and even because of the pain, she forced herself to smile.
The pace of the homicide investigation slows down as no new evidence is found, and Joe Wright gets a few days off.
Eva Taylor is happy to go on a date with him, but she sees that he is often distracted, and only after questioning, she learns about Emma Rosy’s unusual behavior.
A date ended haphazardly, and when she returned home, she told Charles Taylor about Emma Rosy during a conversation, hoping that her big brother could cheer Emma up.
Randall Harrah meant well.
Unbeknownst to him, his actions have turned out to be a mistake.
Marisa Miller, who had overheard his conversation with the nurse, was overjoyed to realize that her earlier judgment had been wrong.
Alex Brown is not dead and is living in this room, she can see whenever she can avoid the medical staff. But… Randall Harrah was a big problem.
Out of an abundance of caution, she decided to leave the hospital first and make a new plan.
She went back to her apartment, took a nice bath, had a nice meal, and went to bed feeling empty.
When she opened her phone, a text message from Matthew Miller popped up first.
–Paul Johnson disobeyed my orders. Tell him he better stay out of the country forever, and if he comes back, I will not forgive him!
Marisa Darcysat up, remembering the days it took Paul Johnson to rescue her, remembering the broken leg, and suddenly, it seemed to understand something.
The hotel room.
Paul Johnson sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the blue sky and clouds in the distance, the bustling city, but the feet are full of cigarette butts.
When the knock on the door, he instinctively extinguished his cigarette, quickly turned his wheelchair to the back of the door, listening for a long time, before pulling the door open a crack.
Marisa Miller, carrying a packed meal, barked at him as if nothing had happened: “Open the door.”
Paul Johnson frowned, still holding a grudge from the morning, but his body preceded him, not only opening the door, but also taking the bag full of lunch boxes.
He came back into the room before asking her in a cold voice what she was doing here, but the anger was not visible in his eyes.
“Why are you hurt?” Marisa Darcyasked instead of answering, clutching her arm as if she was not the one who made the mistake.
Perhaps out of revenge, or perhaps still pathetically trying to gain her sympathy, Paul Johnson told her the full story of his injury.
Finally, he added, “I’m not comfortable with my leg, so I’ll go back home after I get better.
With her eyes suddenly sore, Marisa Darcyturned her back and pretended to look out the window.
So it was all because of her that Paul Johnson had become like this… How stupid… Was there no other way?
Exhaling deeply, she finally whispered, “Stay, I’ll take care of you.”
Paul Johnson’s eyes instantly widened, thinking he had heard wrong: “… what?”
Marisa Darcyturned back around, crouched in front of him, and was about to explain, but finally gave up.
Any words are not as powerful as actual actions.
Raising a hand to his face, she leaned in close, embracing, kissing, and finally sinking into the soft bed…
She thought that this level of reward should be enough.
Domestic, Wright Family old house.
Emma Rosy early in the morning in sportswear to go for a morning run, Master Wright still uneasy, secretly phone contact Charles Taylor, let him rush over to accompany.
Joe Wright walked into the living room just as the phone was put down, “I’ll follow Emma secretly, Charles Taylor will come back when he arrives, don’t worry.”
“Joe…” Master Wright looked up at him, his expression full of heartache.
Not waiting for Master Wright politely refused, Joe Wright generous smile: “I will regulate their own emotions, but Emma is difficult to do, the most important thing right now is to protect her well, you say?”
Thinking about it, Master Wright had to acquiesce.
Emma Rosy turned the corner and ran towards another path less traveled.
Joe Wright, who was following a short distance away, looked grave, thinking that his and his grandfather’s fears had been fulfilled, and hurried to catch up with him.
Rounding a cottage, just about to turn the corner, there was a brisk wind coming from above –
He turned his head to dodge, and a shout rang out around him: “Yah! Get out of the way!”
Emma Rosy slapped her chest in fear, her eyes misting up: “Brother, how is it you, I thought someone was following me, hoo… scared to death.”
The morning run turned into a walk, and They walked side by side along the canal.
“I’m sorry I let you guys down with that look before.”
Emma Rosy stopped in her tracks and held back tears as she apologized to Joe Wright, telling him again about Alex Brown and Tina Everard.
Joe Wright had heard the whole story from outside the tea room when Charles Taylor was talking to Master Wright, but Emma Rosy’s willingness to say it herself still made his heart feel warm and fuzzy.
“Actually, I understand that Alex did it on purpose.” He deliberately treated her coldly, deliberately acquiesced to Tina Everard’s lies, all in order to kill her heart and force her to forget.
He thought Emma Rosy had misunderstood Alex Brown, but he didn’t realize she had already seen everything. joe Wright suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether to confess to her about the emails.
