"Good afternoon. Apex 23S. Fastest update." Louise stood at the door with her lunch and looked at James sitting up from the bed.
"What time is it?" James' face was a little swollen, not because he had slept well.
"Twelve o'clock." Louise answered, putting her lunch on the bedside table, "Don't worry, you have a day off today."
"Who gave me a holiday?" Although James asked, he had already thrown away his half-dressed clothes, took the lunch next to him, leaned against the bedside, and took a big gulp of hot milk.
"Director Darcy." Louise patted James who almost choked. It wasn't because James heard this answer, it was just that the mouth of the James can was too big, and he just realized that the taste of the milk was a bit, well, special...
"What the hell!" James stared at the half-cup of hot milk left.
"Goat milk." Louise smiled, "Why, haven't you ever drank it?"
"Goats have milk??" Looking at James' expression, this is a question from the bottom of his heart.
Louise opened her mouth, unable to hide the curling of the corners of her mouth. Just stop hiding it, "No, sheep don't have it, only cows have milk~"
James actually reacted for a while before he realized that he was being laughed at. He glanced at Louise and said, "Laugh." Then he drank the remaining goat's milk in the cup in one gulp. "I like this, please refill."
"No more~" Louise shrugged, "Old Hank is already very impatient with me taking away the necessary supplies from their living area. I don't want to go there again."
James held the empty glass and looked at Louise for a moment. Since Louise was not prepared to take the initiative to explain, she could only twitch the corner of her eye and asked, "Store necessary supplies?"
Louise sat down next to James with an interested expression, "Lai Boken~" and winking, "The Lai Boken you and Zach met on the way to the west is here~"
James was obviously not used to Louise's sudden approach, and stared at Louise warily, "What are you doing!"
"Relax~~" Louise rolled her eyes, "I'm just curious~ Zach didn't tell you much in detail about your going to the West. I can only get some bits and pieces from the blood exchange~ Tell me about it. ~"
James' face twitched, of course he knew what the blood exchange really represented. He really didn't want to continue this topic with Louise, "Where's Zach? Ask him."
"He's out." Louise also realized it, knowing that James didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't force it, "I'm going to find someone who can do things in the middle of the country for you ~ Nophele, fallen angel, wizard, or something like that. "
"Tsk." Tsk first and then say, "He won't help me."
Oh yeah, that’s Zach’s response to James’ request at four in the morning: “Your girlfriend, your problem.”
"Don't be so naive." Louise waved her hands and glanced at James who was already dealing with lunch, "James." Her tone was suddenly serious, "Sometimes, you really need to distinguish who is you. true friend."
James frowned, not knowing what he suddenly thought of. His eyes fell on the empty goat's milk cup, and his face began to look strange, "This is..." There were milky white milk stains on the rim of the cup, "The milk of your food." ?”
"Of course." Louise just thought that James was deliberately changing the subject. Hmm, it's quite typical. Louise didn't know what she was expecting. This was James' disappointment that he constantly proved. Therefore, Louise's tone was not very friendly, "Why, do you feel sick, eating the same ingredients as Zach and me?"
James frowned and glanced at Louise, "No, just curious." He continued to put lunch in his mouth, and actually pushed the topic of 'friends', "In addition to Darcy, there are also my 'friends', Huh, are you looking for me?"
Louise squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, "No, Wes also called and said he would come to see you in the afternoon."
These words contained a special meaning. Wes was very relieved that James was resting in Grandry.
Whether James will receive it or not, let’s take a guess.
"Ms. Miley List also called." Louise said with a mocking look on her face, "She said your bathroom was clogged and asked you when you would go back to fix it."
The corner of James's eye also twitched, "Tell her to call a plumber."
Louise raised her eyebrows and looked at James without saying anything.
"Watch what I'm doing!" James was worried.
"Nothing~" Louise turned away. Things like the relationship between men and women can be understood once and for all. It's boring to say it clearly. But what James should be reminded of is, "Be careful about this Miss Lister." Louise was not prepared. Sorry to disturb James, get up and leave the room.
James, however, didn't seem very happy to be reminded like this. He looked at Louise's back as she went out and said, "What is this, a warning from a friend?"
"Yes." Louise looked back once and closed the door.
James sat on the bed for a while, then continued to deal with lunch with his lips drawn.
After a full meal, it was not James' fault that he felt sleepy again. He had not rested yesterday. After Grande and Zach talked a lot about Dale, he came home and faced Miley who was crying like a frozen pear tree. While making up for what happened to Barton while he was away, he listened to this 'roommate' who didn't pay the rent cry about how pitiful, lonely, lonely, and cold he had been during this time...
James didn't care. When Kate emerged from Miley's mouth, James actually stopped caring about everything Miley said about herself.
This was the reason why James was wandering around outside with only his coat on in the middle of the night. He really didn't want to go home and listen to Miley crying about something he didn't care about.
But of course, after meeting Zach, James used to express his anger that Miley would only cry in front of him on Zach, but more importantly, Kate.
If James had a choice, he wouldn't want to come to Zach for help. You don’t have to show off your failed relationship in front of Zach again, right
But Kate is in the middle. The middle, the middle that makes both James and Dale experience nightmares, James really has no choice unless he wants his Kate to go the way of Georgina. die. Can you imagine how the concept of a man who constantly kills his girlfriend feels to James
James snuggled back into the quilt, but his eyes were still open. Look at the room you are in.
This is Charlie's old room. How do you know? The bedside table James stared at had the inscription 'Charlie, here'.
James could only imagine that Charlie made this mark when he had no choice but to adapt to resting day and night after moving in here, and wasted time in bed out of boredom.
James stretched out his hand, touched the mark, and retracted his hand. reason? The nick was too deep. James couldn't help but think that Charlie had dug it out with his sharp fingers.
James turned over and lay in another direction. He didn't lie down for long and turned over helplessly. Everyone should be able to understand this. Everyone has their own sleeping position. Some people are used to lying on their stomachs, some are used to lying on the right side, some are used to lying on the left side, some are used to sleeping... James happens to be used to lying against the notches made with his fingers.
Drowsiness has a magical effect. It is that people cannot control the direction of the dream-carrying thoughts at this stage. James' eyelids came closer and closer, and when they finally closed, his mind entered a strange state
James was in a luxurious restaurant, resplendent, so to speak. But what's special is that there is only a dining table and seats in four directions, where he, Kate, Charlie, and Louise sit respectively.
On the table was a sheep, alive.
The first to take action was Dell. Kate used a table knife to shave the sheep and said, "I'm a vegetarian." Then Charlie threw away the knife, scratched the words "Charlie, eat it" on the bald skin of the sheep with his fingers and then licked it. Blood gushing from broken skin. The last one to take action was Louise. Louise patted herself (James) helplessly, "Are you a child? Do you want me to feed you? You are such a careless fellow." Then she took the cup and started Milk the goat.
Whoops! James jumped out of bed. While sweating all over his head, James knew that it was not a dream. To clarify this thing, he was sure that it was not a dream anyway. It was the preparation before the dream, and the strange things produced by random combinations of his own thoughts after losing control.
James' sleepiness was gone. He quickly dressed up and rushed out of the room.
"Hi~" Louise sat on the back porch, holding her thermos. Looking sideways at James who rushed out, "Aren't you going to sleep?" Louise moved her body to make room for James, "It just so happens that the sun is nice today, how about some sunshine?"
James' face was twitching, he sat down and looked in the direction Louise was looking, "What are you doing over there?" The living area.
"The sewers are being repaired." Louise took a sip from the thermos bottle, "Didn't you see it yesterday?"
James frowned and looked at the noise in the living area, "Is that...Austin?"
"Do you know him?" Louise was quite surprised, and then remembered, "Oh, I remembered it~ When you arrested Zach once, Austin was working in Grande~"
James looked at Louise with a gloomy expression. Well, you can actually guess the reason, "Are you serious?" He said completely maliciously, "Are you still trying to hide it from me now?"
Louise kept a smile on her face, "What did you expect? James." Louise shook her head slightly, "I said, I'm sorry, it was me who erased the memory of Georgina's death that Austin witnessed." Looking at James Ms., when you get back, take a sip from the thermos cup.
Have you thought of it? The path of the relationship between Austin and James is not that Austin was present when James arrested Zach. But Austin was present when Georgina died.
Louise isn't hiding it, but doesn't want to mention it? Doesn't it make sense? In this present moment where James' current girlfriend, Kate, might be in deep danger in the middle of nowhere
snort. Louise was thinking about James.
James's face twitched continuously, and he took a deep breath, "Just tell me, at least at that time, you felt that... that was not a good thing to do (erase Austin's memory and cover up the fact of Georgina's death)."
"Okay." Louise said in a calm tone, "I did feel bad at the time. Are you feeling better?"
James said nothing and looked at the living area quietly.
Louise suddenly spoke, "James, I think Zach and I are about to leave here."
James frowned and did not respond. He didn't know how to respond. I don’t know if you remember, on the way to the West, to be specific, in the middle of the road trip, the car broke down in the snow, and when Zach went to the front to find help, what happened between Dale, James, and Wes in the car .
At that time, James named Wes, and one day Zach would disappear, and no one would do anything to help James anymore. James fell into silence like this.
Louise glanced at James and smiled, "Don't worry, I don't know when, it's just a feeling." Louise tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I can feel Zach's psychology It’s changing, his attitude towards various things is changing.”
"Good change or bad change?" James asked.
Louise did roll her eyes, "When will you grow up? Not everything is good or bad."
James curled his lips and would not refute.
Louise shook her head, "James." Suddenly a new topic came up, "Do you know what your father is doing?"
"Father?" There was a moment of disgust on James's face, "I don't know."
Louise raised her eyebrows, "You have no idea why your father suddenly had a heart transplant?"
"How do I know? I probably just had a heart attack and the old guy was scared." James was cracking his fingers.
Louise looked at James, "Are you kidding me? Don't you know about the organ donation farce that happened in front of Barton Hospital when you and Zach didn't go to the West?"
"I know, so what's wrong?" James was a little impatient, "Donation is donation, right? They signed the contract, and this is the result. It's their business if the families don't accept it."
Louise frowned, "Didn't you see the comparison photos of the donors? What about the news from that period?"
"What are you doing?" James frowned and looked at Louise, "Why are you mentioning this all of a sudden?"
"Oh." Louise looked at James, "I know, Miley lived at your place during that time, and it is said that things in your house often broke, so you didn't notice, I can understand."
"Tsk, what are you talking about?" James became impatient, "I don't need you to understand anything! What on earth do you want to say?! Just say it!"
Louise was quiet for a while, "James, do you really not know what I am doing? I am helping you explain why you are unconscious of the incident. I don't want to think that you are so naive and stupid..." In front of James With a face that was getting worse and worse, Louise didn't flinch at all, "and all the derogatory words I can think of."
"Tsk. Just say it!" James could only request this.
"Your father is the man behind the scenes. James, your father is stealing human organs, James."
