chapter 8 give him a light

The night is like ink and the lights are like beans.

As the Qiao family left, the clinic returned to quiet, with only Pealine and Lachlan Patel, mother and son, remaining on the second floor.

Lachlan Patel cleared the dining table, washed the dishes, and then came to the living room with a basin of hot water.

In the living room, Pealine was waiting to chat with Lachlan Patel. When she saw Lachlan Patel's behavior, she was a little confused:

"Lachlan, what are you doing with a basin of hot water?"

"I'll soak your feet."

Lachlan Patel said with a smile, and then placed the basin at the feet of his mother Pealine.

"You kid, why are you soaking your feet in the hot weather?"

Pealine eyes heated up when she heard this, but she didn't stop him and allowed her son to put her feet into the basin.

"Mom, you have worked hard these years."

Chen Ye helped his mother Pealine rub her feet and said softly.

"Silly boy, mom is not working hard."

Pealine shook his head slightly, but his eyes were slightly red.

But she was not a hypocritical person. She quickly adjusted her mood and asked:

"Lachlan, although you accidentally saved master Carmichael life in prison, the Carmichael family has already helped us once. Is it inappropriate to ask the Carmichael family to help me solve my work and provide housing?"

"In this world, there are people who repay kindness with hatred, and there are people who repay kindness with drops of water. Since old Carmichael is kind and righteous, there is no need for us to refuse. After all, these things are not worth mentioning to the Carmichael family."

Lachlan Patel wrote lightly.

Before, when Branner Carmichael was eating dumplings, he said that the area where the clinic was located was about to be demolished and that the clinic would not be able to open in the future, so he gave two suggestions.

The first is to arrange for Pealine to work in a private hospital under the Carmichael's Group, and she can choose any department or position.

The second is to reopen a clinic in the city for Pealine.

At that time, after listening to Branner Carmichael's words, Pealine subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Lachlan Patel directly helped her mother choose the first option.

Because he knew that his mother loved the profession of doctor very much. When she was young, she even went to remote mountainous areas for free clinics.

And working in a hospital is much easier than running your own clinic.

When his mother brought him to Jiangzhou, she did not choose to work in a hospital, not because he was not good enough, but because he was worried about working in a hospital to take care of himself flawlessly. At the same time, he was also afraid that people in the hospital would gossip about having a child out of wedlock, which would be detrimental to his growth. Influence.

"Lachlan, I know the Carmichael family somewhat, but I always feel that things are not that simple."Pealine was still worried.

"Mom, stop thinking so much!"

Lachlan Patel smiled bitterly, his heart like a mirror.

If the Carmichael family didn't have other small thoughts, they wouldn't have tried their best last night, especially Branner Carmichael wouldn't have called those two heavyweight disciples!

After the words fell, Chen Yeye was afraid that his mother would continue to refuse, so he changed the topic and said:

"Mom, should we go to aunt Laing house tomorrow? aunt Laing helped me a lot after my accident, so I should go and thank her."

"Lachlan, there is something that mom has never told you. Now it's time to tell you."Pealine answered the question.

"Mom, is this about my dad?"

Chen Zhiyi was moved. He once used the intelligence network of the prisoners in the prison to investigate his father, but found nothing.

This shocked him and made him full of curiosity about his father in this world!

After all, any one of those people in the Heavenly Prison is an extraordinary person, and it is very easy to check someone out.

"no."

Hearing Lachlan Patel's words, Pealine expression changed, and then she shook her head, "It has something to do with your aunt Laing."

"You say."

Lachlan Patel nodded.

Liora is her mother Pealine only best friend.

After his accident four years ago, Liora not only inquired about the situation through the police-station relationship, but also found a well-known lawyer in Jiangzhou to file a lawsuit for him.

After the case was decided, Liora took the initiative to lend money to Pealine to compensate Saurix Kingsley.

In addition, when Pealine came to Jiangzhou with a pregnant belly, it was Liora who helped them settle down and took care of them both mother and son for so many years.

"I've told you before, your Aunt Liora and I are college classmates. Before graduating from her senior year, her mother got seriously ill and had to go to Donghai to see a doctor. The doctor I helped her find cured her mother's disease. I am grateful for this, and I have made an agreement because of it."Pealine continued.

Lachlan Patel was stunned: "Promise?"

"We have agreed that if the children born in the future are of different genders, the two children will be together. In other words, the so-called baby kiss - you and your aunt Laing's daughter Fayra Dean have a marriage contract!"

Pealine explained.

engagement?

Lachlan Patel was immediately dumbfounded!

In that parallel world, Fayra Dean and he were childhood sweethearts, and they had obeyed his advice since childhood. The two were engaged, but they were not actually married!

Because after he left home at the age of eighteen, he only went back once.

When he was twenty years old, his mother passed away. When he rushed back, her mother had already been buried.

Fayra Dean's parents helped organize the funeral. Fayra Dean wore mourning and died as her daughter-in-law.

However, his situation at that time was very special and he could not marry Fayra Dean, so he could only let Fayra Dean wait for him.

As a result, the wait lasted seven years.

Neither of them married until his soul came to this world.

But now, his mother Pealine told him that he and Fayra Dean also have a marriage contract in this world!

How could this... not shock him? !

"Lachlan, after you were born, your father was not around. I once mentioned to your Aunt Liora that the original engagement was cancelled. But as her name suggests, she values ​​love and righteousness, and she disagrees with her life and death. In desperation, I Just tell her not to mention it when you and Fayra were young, but to talk about it after you go to college.

Four years ago, something happened to you, and Fayra was admitted to the British Fashion College, the best fashion college in the world. Moreover, during her internship, she served as an assistant to the chief designer of the world-famous brand Armani.

After graduation, she returned to Jiangzhou and started her own business, establishing a clothing company. "

When Pealine said this, he paused, then sighed softly and said:

"Originally, there is a big gap between our family and your aunt Laing family. What happened four years ago again. You didn't go to college and spent four years in jail. Fayra can be said to be the proud daughter of heaven. The gap between you two is too big. .

In this situation, even if aunt Laing continues to insist, we cannot delay Fayra.

Tomorrow, go to aunt Laing house by yourself, thank her for everything she has done for you, and find an opportunity to propose to Fayra to cancel the engagement. "

"good."

Lachlan Patel smiled bitterly and nodded.

Although he felt guilty towards Fayra Dean because of what happened in the parallel world, Fayra Dean in the two worlds may not be the same.

According to his memory, he and Fayra Dean in this world were barely childhood sweethearts, but they had no emotional foundation.

In this case, he could only listen to his mother's advice first, and then make the next step depending on the situation.

But no matter what the final result is, he will give Fayra Dean everything she wants in this world!

Seeing that her son had no objection, Pealine secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then she took out her cell phone and called her best friend Liora to inform Lachlan Patel that he was out of prison and was going to visit him.

After Liora ended the call, she went directly to the study and saw her husband Grendar Dean tinkering with antiques. She got straight to the point:

"Lachlan is out of prison and will come to see us tomorrow. You can go shopping with me tomorrow afternoon."

"He's out of jail."

Grendar Dean was startled for a moment, and then said: "I don't have any objection if I accompany you to buy groceries, cook, or even if you want to help Lachlan Patel. I have only one request. He must terminate his engagement with Fayra, or in other words, directly become the This engagement does not exist!"

"Grendar Dean, what do you mean?"Liora became anxious after hearing this.

Grendar Dean put down the antiques in his hands and said in a deep voice:

"My point is very clear, Lachlan Patel is not worthy of our daughter! In terms of themselves, Lachlan Patel and Fayra are worlds apart now! What's more, getting married requires a well-matched match!"

"We are well matched. Are you, the Dean family, worthy of being well matched with the Donghai Fang family?"Liora was furious.

"I admit that our the Dean family can only barely gain prominence in Jiangzhou, and it cannot compare with a big family like the Fang family in Donghai! But, what is the relationship between Lachlan Patel and the Fang family? Can the Fang family recognize him? Impossible. ! The Fang family doesn’t even recognize Pealine!”

When Grendar Dean said this, he seemed to have guessed what his wife was going to say next, and continued without giving his wife a chance to speak:

"Don't tell me that it's because Pealine doesn't want to go back. I believe that she doesn't want to go back for one or two years. But after more than 20 years, even if she doesn't want to go back, if the Fang family still recognizes her, they will take the initiative Looking for her. But have you ever seen the Fang family looking for their mother and son?"

"Grendar Dean, you are so snobbish!"Liora suddenly became angry.

Grendar Dean said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with me being snobbish? I'm doing this all for my daughter's good!"

"Dad, Mom, stop arguing!"

At this moment, Fayra Dean, wearing pajamas, came to the study and stopped her parents' quarrel. "I have my own plans regarding my engagement with Lachlan Patel."

"What's the plan?"

Grendar Dean and Liora quickly stopped arguing and asked in unison.

Fayra Dean gave a very clear answer:

"I will not take the initiative to terminate the engagement!"

"Okay, Fayra, mom supports you!"

Hearing this, Liora burst into laughter and clapped her hands in support.

Grendar Dean stood up in shock and said with excitement:

"Fayra, why are you as confused as your mother? Putting aside family background, Chen Ye has just been released from prison and is a reform-through-labor prisoner. How can he be worthy of you?"

"Dad, since you know that Chen Ye has just been released from prison, have you ever thought about the impact that you or I would have on him if you proposed to terminate the engagement at this time? How cruel it would be?"Fayra Dean asked. .

"this……"

Grendar Dean was speechless. He could think with his toes that this would give Lachlan Patel a fatal blow and even affect Lachlan Patel future destiny.

"aunt Pealine saved grandma and was kind to our family. Even if our family has repaid aunt Pealine and Lachlan Patel over the years, my mother has always valued love and righteousness throughout her life. Do you want her to lose her best friend in the future? ?"Fayra Dean continued.

Grendar Dean retorted:

"Fayra, even if this is the case, you can't sacrifice your personal happiness? Lachlan Patel is a reform-through-labor prisoner with a bad reputation. Moreover, he has been in prison for four years and is out of touch with society. You and him are completely different worlds. !”

"Dad, you should know very well that Lachlan Patel, like aunt Pealine, has a kind and upright personality, and he was framed and sent to prison because of his bravery. In terms of character alone, I think Chen Ye is better than the blind dates that my family plans to introduce to me. The object is much better!”

Fayra Dean said righteously:

"Besides, I don't want to marry him directly!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"I want to temporarily accompany him through the darkest time in the name of my fiancée, so that he can get familiar with and adapt to this society as soon as possible."

Fayra Dean tone softened.

this day.

She just wanted to give the once righteous young man a ray of light so that he could crawl out of the abyss of darkness, but she didn't expect that in exchange for the glory that other women dreamed of in their lives!
