Chapter 217 Call Him (Part One)
Polly asked Owen to drive her to Bruce's apartment, where she could get some of her own clothes. There were only men's clothes and no women's clothes in Owen's place. Thus, Alice must change her clothes. She was in no mood to go shopping after the incident tonight.
"Dear Polly. You don't have to do it yourself. I can let my secretary do it." "Both of you are my sisters. It's normal that brother gives clothes to his sister."
"No need!" This was exactly the problem that Polly was worried about. In fact, she didn't want him to buy clothes for them. Although it sounded reasonable, she felt a little uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the apartment, Owen looked up at the dark building and said to her, "Dear Polly, let me go upstairs with you."
Even the clothes were rejected, so she felt more uncomfortable to take him to Bruce's apartment, to be exact, it used to be her and Bruce's home.
She walked into the elevator. When she thought of the house which was going to be over, she could not help but feel bitter and depressed. There were many sweet and warm memories with him.
Where was Bruce now? Did she drink with Gabe and hurt those flower like girls as well? 'When did he become such a depraved man?'?
He had just come back from abroad because he wanted to deal with the mess concerning Jean. How could he have the time to hang out with those people?
Polly gradually calmed down and became clear minded.
Even if he wanted to go out and hunt for women, he would not be with a low class guy like Gabe because of his high status. The rest of them were super rich. But judging from their clothes, she could see that they were all just common wage earners.
Even if Bruce was from an ordinary family, he couldn't get involved in this family business. Then, there was only one possibility. From NôvelDrama.Org.
She took out her cell phone and searched online for the latest news. The guard team worker who had a quarrel with Jean and got infuriated to death. His family were all ordinary wage earners!
Did he eat with those people just because he wanted to help Jean? He was willing to sacrifice his own dignity for the sake of his beloved woman.
Her heart was freezing.
She input the unlock code to the third time. After entering, she turned on the light. The bright and warm yellow light lit up the whole room. At first glance, it was still the familiar home, the sofa, TV and so on were still placed in the original place. The curtains were still the same. She picked them for him when she was playing tricks.
She was overcome with mixed feelings. How could they get to this point.
Opening the door of the bedroom, the air was cold and empty, as if no one had lived here for a long time. She walked to the bedside and sat down. Looking at the tidy quilt, she imagined the pictures that they used to sit together on this bed.
She couldn't help touching his pillow, which used to be full of his smell.
She was tangled by the gowns picked by the cupboard. It was the same as the time she left. It seemed that he had not been here for a long time.
She opened the drawer and took all the underwear away. For the time being, she took two sets of clothes with her, and she planned to come back to take them when she had chance. When she was about to leave, she saw a folds on the place where she had just Sat. she walked over to tidy it up with
her hands. But sometimes people just did things in a different way. When they handled things in a reasonable way, they would finally find that everything was different from before.
Polly simply folded the quilt one more time, and sorted out the bed sheet from head to toe. Finally, she felt that the position of the pillow was strange. When she was about to place it back, her phone rang.
It was Owen's name on the screen. She looked at the time. It had been more than ten minutes. She almost forgot that there were two other people waiting for her downstairs.
"Dear Polly? Why is she still upstairs?" There was a trace of eagerness in Owen's voice. "Do you need me to go upstairs?"
"No need! I'll be right down! "
"Then hurry up! Alice said that she was hungry. Let's take her to eat something! "
"Ok!". It was all her fault. It could have been done within a few minutes, but now it had been delayed for nearly twenty minutes.
She went out in a hurry.
As soon as she entered the elevator and went downstairs, the door of the other elevator opened. It was Richie. He pushed Bruce and walked out of the elevator.
"Bruce, I really don't understand why you came here tonight? It's already half finished! " "I really don't understand what you are thinking. What else is more important than your own body?"
"Although we are halfway through the journey, we can still come back faster." "Don't you want to save time? Come here is the best choice. "
"Don't quibble. The only thing you're afraid of is that you'll make grandpa worry about you if you go back like this. But what if your leg can't recover after a long time? Then Grandpa will be more worried. "
"How could my legs hurt for such a long time with you around? I trust you more than I trust myself! "
"Come on! And stop flattering me! Do you take me as a God? My medical skills are far from that! If I had been that capable, Ellie wouldn't have... "
The conversation began to get worse and worse. At the moment, he realized it and immediately changed the topic. "You just said that you haven't come to the apartment for a long time. I don't know how it is dirty inside! Let me tell you, I'm your doctor, not your hourly employee. Don't expect me to do the cleaning for you later. And I'm afraid of spiders, cockroaches and all kinds of bugs that are crawling around in the house. "
