Chapter 217 Suddenly Sad
"Ouch!" Iris covered her head and looked at Jackson. She really forgot that he was alone. But she
didn't want to talk to him anymore when she thought that he came to the party because of Gail.
"I'm most familiar with this kind of game. Why didn't you call me?" Then Jackson took the turntable and
said, "This is too simple. It's common. Let me introduce you a new game software, mobile phone
adventure!"
He took out his phone, opened an application and put it on the table, "Let's click the pointer and know
where it is. The update of the game is more interesting."
"Well, that's good. I'll get one for fun when I get back!" As long as it was about playing, Iris liked it.
"Then let's start. Don't act shamelessly!"
Sitting on the sofa, Gail and James stared at each other. They didn't have fun and seldom played such
a lively game, so they were left behind naturally.
"How about we leave?" James held Gail's hand and laughed. Others were having fun, chatting, singing
and playing. Only they were eating and sitting leisurely.
"What?" That's okay? "Iris must be unhappy if we leave so early. To make up for her mistake, she
chatted with Jim. If I leave, they will scold me."
"It's a good chance for Iris to get with Jackson. To be honest, I feel sorry for your school hunk. It's the
first time I've seen such a good school hunk." James looked at the three people who were playing the
game and shook his head repeatedly.
"What do you mean?" They looked very harmonious?
"Today he is the real cannon fodder. Look at his friend. His friend has a good conversation with Mary.
He has become a spice."
That's true. Gail knew that Iris liked Jackson, but today she just played with Jim and ignored Jackson,
which made Jackson approach her. What's more, Mary was talking with another boy in a quite
harmonious way, as if he knew Sherry, and the four people had a common topic. Naturally, they didn't
care about others.
"Well, it's not my fault." Gail knew what Iris meant. But fortunately, James came with her, or she would
be interrogated again.
The original dinner party turned into a game of their own. Thinking that Nicholas would have an
operation tomorrow, Gail was not in the mood to stay any longer, so she left with James in advance.
But fortunately, when she went there, she saw that Iris, Jackson and Jim were having fun. She didn't
expect that the three of them could still play together, so she was relieved.
Let's get down to business. There were more important things to be done one by one.
"When you go to the hospital tomorrow, if Martha asks you to do something, you must be careful. Don't
be angry and don't be too excited, okay?" Before going to bed in the evening, James worried that Gail
would be too nervous and excited tomorrow, so he couldn't help but remind her.
Gail didn't expect that there was something wrong with Martha, so she wanted to ask, "Do you mean
that my aunt will do something bad to my grandfather? My grandfather was also her father. How could
she do that? Do you think she will force my grandfather to give her some property or let us pay her
some fees?"
He held her in his arms and said, "Don't worry. I just want to remind you in order not to make you too
excited tomorrow. But you look anxious now. You must have guessed that your aunt would not
suddenly find out to take care of your father for no reason. I just want you to be careful. If I were not by
your side, you would not even know how you were sold."
"Make it clear, or I'll go to the hospital to see my grandfather now. If my aunt hurt him, I won't let her off!
She has never helped my grandfather. After my grandmother left, she never came to my house again.
My grandpa sometimes thought of her and would go to her house to see how she was doing when he
was alone! But..." Tears streamed down her face as Gail spoke. She felt sad at the thought of that
scene, for her grandfather's life, and for her own incompetence.
James patted her back gently. He knew that she still wanted to say something. Otherwise, she would
not be able to sleep well since she had held back her resentment for so many years.
"At that time, Martha had heard about it from others, but she didn't come back to visit my grandfather. I
even talked to her child! Although I don't welcome her to come here now, at least I'm still wondering if
she suddenly realized her conscience and was filial to her father, but she… I know it! I know I shouldn't
expect others to be good to us. I know it's all in vain, and we have to rely on ourselves… I can only go
far on my own."
Then she picked up a tissue to wipe her nasal mucus, and continued to cry, "That's why I have to go to
the village to accompany my grandpa. It's not that I don't trust you, I just… I have never received any
care from others since I was a child, except for those strangers. The teachers and classmates who had
nothing to do with me would take care of me, so I was afraid that God would joke with me, bring such a
good person like you to me, and then take you away from me when I love you wholeheartedly..."
"So I'd rather you hadn't been here. What should I do if you leave? You are a bad guy! You are all bad
guys! Everyone is a bad guy..." Gail couldn't stop crying and couldn't control her emotions.
"Gai, how can you say this to me? It's your aunt's fault. Why do you blame me? You are too willful!"
James held her in his arms and coaxed her, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh.
Tears and snot streamed down her cheeks. The papers on the table had been used up for a while, so
James had to carry her to the sofa and coax her carefully.
"That's exactly what I thought. That's why I wanted to leave you at that time. I think God is joking with
me again..."
James quickly took out a piece of paper and wiped her tears, "Don't cry. You look so ugly! Your reason
is so unreasonable. I'm not a boy sent by God to cheat you. Listen, if you say that again, I really don't
care about you."
He also felt wronged. He wondered why the rational Gai became coward in front of love. As long as
they met something, the first thing she thought of was to leave. It turned out that she was afraid of no Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
result. She was afraid that everything would end up like a joke of God. So did he. But he felt relieved
when she cried like this.
