The days passed quickly, and when An Ning was almost used to Chris's presence, the day of parting came.
"You're leaving for Phillips' house tomorrow, so take care."
An Ning put down the homework at hand, and said to Chris, these days are really thanks to him, otherwise, with her English level, it would be really difficult to keep up with the progress of the textbook.
"Is there anything you want me to bring?"
Chris didn't seem to regard this mission as a dangerous thing, and asked An Ning what he wanted to bring.
It's more like going on a trip than completing a tricky task.
"I have nothing to bring, I just want you to come back safely."
An Ning looked at Chris seriously, he saw the worry in An Ning's eyes, smiled and comforted, "Okay, I promise you."
"Be sure to come back safely. I have already put the course content for the next few days in this ipad. Just remember to do a test paper every day."
She nodded, with reluctance pouring out of her heart.
But she was still stubborn and didn't show this emotion.
Chris knew that An Ning was in a bad mood, but he didn't say much, and when he left at night, he gave her a sweet goodnight kiss.
"wait me back."
An Ning felt sore in her heart. For some reason, when she felt that this annoying guy was about to leave her, she couldn't calm down. She even had the idea of going with him, entangled in her heart.
This night, she slept very restlessly, she clearly knew that Chris's strength was definitely not simple, in short, he was not a weak exorcist, but judging from some things he did to her recently, maybe, It wasn't just the Phillips family that bothered him.
There are also some bad things that she doesn't know about, hidden in the dark.
He didn't want to tell himself, and it was inconvenient for her to ask, but, as his girlfriend, he concealed too many things about himself, and he was responsible for all of them, which made An Ning feel a little guilty.
"Miss An Ning, get up."
Anna used to wake her up every morning. This weekend passed quickly. In just two days, it passed in the blink of an eye. By Monday, Chris had already taken the early morning flight to the continent where Phillips' home was located.
At the breakfast table in the morning, there was a familiar figure missing beside her, making An Ning keep distracting herself while eating breakfast.
"Ning? Ning?"
Jenny kept calling An Ning's name, and it took a long while before she came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I was distracted."
Both Henry and Jenny have experience in this field. They are veterans, and they can tell at a glance why An Ning is distracted by something, with a gentle smile on his face: "Child Chris, don't look at his weak and weak appearance, his exorcism ability Stronger than me as a father."
Literally weak
An Ning almost spit out the milk in her mouth, she shook her hand holding the fork and knife, and couldn't help complaining in her heart.
Where did they see that Chris Wenwen was weak? It seems that when Chris faced his parents, he also kept a hand and did not show his true side.
In An Ning's words, Chris is a wolf wearing a gentleman's appearance, referred to as a gentleman wolf. He is friendly to others, but he treats her very differently.
Cunning, black-bellied, and a difficult man to deal with, he likes to tease her every time.
However, he only teased her.
Judging from the fact that he was able to hold her on his shoulder with one hand and press her on the bed so that she couldn't move, he was not weak at all.
And his muscular body, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to match the word "weak". What a terrifying man, a side of him that even his parents have never seen.
Laura didn't handle the knife and fork very skillfully, and seeing An Ning's absent-minded look, she pursed her lips.
She picked up the buttered bread on her plate, and wanted to give An Ning: "Don't be sad, Chris is not as weak as you think, and he is not the kind of man who cares."
Erin was amused by her sister's words: "Where did you learn the word? Huaxin? I don't remember the teacher teaching you such a word."
Henry and Jenny were very surprised by Laura's behavior. This youngest daughter was the most difficult existence in the family. When she started to make a fuss, the whole family had to revolve around her. She was very possessive. She once said that she wanted to marry Ke Reese is a wife.
It can be seen that Chris's position in her heart is inferior to both Henry and Jenny.
But now, she actually treats An Ning so kindly? Give her bread to comfort her
Jenny looked at An Ning with satisfaction, and she knew at a glance that the woman her son had chosen was quite capable, and she must have her unique personal charm to be able to handle this little troublemaker Laura.
Henry finished his breakfast and was wiping his mouth with a napkin. He glanced at An Ning who was sitting on the smear of jam, and said, "Why don't you go too."
"ah?"
An Ning didn't expect Henry to say that, and spoke in surprise.
Jenny agreed with her husband's words: "Yeah, you go too, seeing that you miss Chris so much, you must really want to be with him."
She shook her head: "But, I just started class..."
"Lessons and so on can be made up later, and according to your current state, even if you go to the lectures, I'm afraid you won't be able to listen to anything."
An Ning lowered her head, Henry asked Anna to take out a piece of paper from her file bag, and handed it over.
"I've prepared the plane ticket for you a long time ago, and there are three thousand dollars left. Go find him and give him a surprise."
The actions of Henry and his wife shocked An Ning, not so much as shocked, but as moved.
They really, already regarded her as a member of their own family, including Laura, who had always been hostile to him before. She looked down at the sliced bread from Laura on her plate, and her eyes were a little wet.
"Mr. Henry, I can't accept the money. For the air ticket... I will definitely return the money for the air ticket to you."
As soon as the words came out, Henry pulled his face and said indifferently: "Let's talk about the next thing later. This is the plane at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Let Jack take you to the airport after breakfast."
An Ning nodded vigorously, Irene also smiled and looked at her friendly, while Laura tapped the plate with a fork and said, "Bring me a donut from Cindy Queen's, I don't know what his boss is doing. Think about it, just open one store, I want to eat chocolate and vanilla strawberry flavor!"
After Abel heard it, he also yelled: "I want a latte with hazelnut flavor, preferably the donut with toffee filling."
"Laura, Abel, you really are."
Jenny shook her head helplessly.
An Ning now understands that the habit of Chris asking me what to bring was formed from here.
Indeed, ghost exorcists take on missions from every corner of the country, and often go to other cities to do missions. It is normal for family members to want to bring some special products.
"Well, I won't forget."
An Ning replied with a smile.
…
Chris was sitting in a somewhat dim room, the room was very British style, some furniture and paintings on the wall could show the long history and financial resources of the Phillips family.
A man with dark blond hair was sitting in a wheelchair, his legs were covered with a red patterned blanket, his entire body had shrunk due to an unknown disease.
The arms and legs are like old people, the skin is wrinkled, the face is gray and wrinkled, and the oxygen tube is inserted in the nose.
With Alan's appearance, no one would think that he and Chris were the same age, but would think that he was an old man who was over half a century old.
A man who looked somewhat similar to Alan stood beside him, his face was full of worry, and his eyes were already full of despair.
After traveling all over the country M and seeking medical treatment without success, at this moment, he can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, otherwise why would he ask the David family for help, hoping that they can help
Chris crouched on the ground, watching him. If it weren't for Alan's chest still rising and falling, no one would treat him as a living person.
He was as thin as a mummy and lifeless.
"His energy and vitality have been sucked away, and now there is only one breath hanging in his throat."
Chris narrowed his eyes and looked around.
In this room, he didn't notice any ghosts, so what exactly was sucking his energy
"Chris, what's going on, why did he become like this?" Sean asked nervously. Seeing Chris' serious expression, he knew that things must not be simple.
Chris raised his head and glanced at the tower outside the window. Mottled spots appeared on the gray outer wall, and a small black window was near the top.
"I thought, I need to go and have a look in that tower."
As soon as these words came out, Allen reacted immediately, and his body began to shake excitedly, as if trying to stand up from the chair.
"Alan!"
Sean grabbed his shoulder and stopped letting him move freely.
Chris narrowed his long and narrow eyes, as if he had noticed something, and asked, "Mr. Sean, you just told me that Allen often goes to that tower?"
Sean nodded.
"I know what the problem is, I need someone to go into the tower at night."
"This..." Obviously, Sean hesitated a little, as if he didn't want to let Chris into the tower.
"Do you have any concerns?" Chris asked, completely ignoring Allen, who was trying his best to protest.
"Ellen won't let us into that tower."
Not allowed in
Chris hooked his mouth and said, "He can't stop me now, Mr. Sean."
"If you want your son to get better quickly, you must let me go to see him tonight."
"Now is not the time to reject me. No matter how unwilling Allen is, I have to save his life first."
