"… At 7: 30 tonight, a memorial service will be held at the Municipal Theater."
Some sounds came from the taxi's radio, but the people in the car didn't seem to pay much attention. Big Cousin and Second Cousin sandwiched Caroline in the middle, while Lawyer Carlo sat in the passenger seat.
Originally, Lawyer Carlo's plan was to take the bus.
However, Big Cousin said that if it was a taxi, they would pay for it. Thus, Lawyer Carlo readily agreed.
"Caroline, you and your Second Cousin have a good relationship?" There was some silence in the car. Lawyer Carlo tried to find some topics to talk about. He saw that Caroline and Second Cousin had been holding hands, although it was a little strange that they were covered with clothes.
But who didn't have a strange hobby?
Second Cousin just glanced at Lawyer Carlo coldly, which made Lawyer Carlo shrug. He was so bored that he simply put on his headphones and played with his phone.
Seeing this, Caroline lowered her head and whispered in her 'Second Cousin' 'ear, "Can you untie my handcuffs? It's easy for people to break them in the hospital and cause trouble."
The 'second cousin' only gave Caroline a family-like smile before looking out of the window. He had no plans to do anything.
Caroline leaned against the chair in frustration, feeling more and more uneasy. In fact, after coming out of the simple factory in Boston, she had been trying to find a way to escape.
Including when she said that she would spend money to buy her life in the factory, everything was just to stall for time and find a chance to escape.
However, she didn't expect that 'Big Cousin' and 'Second Cousin' would watch her so closely. They didn't even let her touch anything.
She was just at the bottom of society, not a special elite. She had almost thought of all the ways she could think of, and now it seemed that she could only resign herself to fate.
Right, 'Second Cousin' still has a gun on him.
"Oh! We've arrived at the hospital! " Lawyer Carlo suddenly turned around and smiled happily, revealing a look that said, "There's a good show going on."
To Caroline's surprise, when she was about to get out of the car, she suddenly realized that her handcuffs were gone. 'Second Cousin' pretended not to know anything, but he put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her all the way. 'Big Cousin' followed closely behind, not giving Caroline any chance at all.
…
When Caroline saw Nia again, she seemed to be much weaker, and her complexion was even worse. The ward was bright, but there was a kind of gloominess that could be seen.
The entire ward seemed to darken because of Nia's defeated aura.
Caroline had mixed feelings.
Niya was very tired, which seemed to be due to the side effects of the anti-cancer drug she was taking.
Carlo directly held Nia's withered hand and whispered in her ear the purpose of his visit.
Perhaps it would be a blessing for Nia to have such a person speaking softly in her ear in the last moments of her life, Caroline thought.
Carolyn knew that it would be difficult for her to know what happened to Nia, but there was no doubt that after Carolyn and Carolyn conspired to cheat Nia of her last fortune to fight the disease, what awaited her would be a night without dawn.
I'm sorry, Niya …
With Nia sober and Carlo, who had a legal lawyer's license as witness, Caroline personally signed the power of attorney and several other documents.
"Can I have a few words with Caroline?" Nia said slowly with a tired voice.
Lawyer Carlo nodded and politely stepped aside.
Caroline glanced at 'second cousin' subconsciously, and the other party also nodded. They knew better than Caroline the principle of putting on an act.
"Come here …" Nia tried to raise her hand, but she could only raise it halfway, so she simply gave up.
Caroline quickly took Carlo's place and sat beside Niya, almost leaning over Niya's pillow.
"Nia, speak, I can hear you." Caroline almost pressed her ear to Nia's lips.
"I … I actually made a will …" Nia gently held Caroline's hand. "It's for you …"
Caroline opened her eyes abruptly. "Nia …"
"No matter … whether the operation succeeds or fails in the end, Mr. Carlo … he will give it to you …"
"Nia, I …"
"It's actually not much …" Nia shook her head, "After deducting the treatment fee … it's not much …"
"Why?" Caroline was silent for a while, "Because … because I'm the only one who came to visit you?"
"One of the reasons," Nia said weakly, "Thank you … for being willing to accompany me when I was at my loneliest. Although … although you came less and less, but … but in the past six months, what I looked forward to the most was still your arrival … "
"Nia …"
"In our line of work … most of us have no choice, but since we've chosen this path … we can only continue on, and then try … try to find another way out."
Caroline looked at Nia, and Nia's gaze also fell on her, but Caroline felt that Nia's gaze was somewhere else.
She said, "I thought, I thought … I used to think that I had already found it …"
Memories were very torturous. They were like a flood that was about to break through a dam. A certain point suddenly weakened, and it broke through with the power of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Nia … was a 'senior' who had taken care of her very much.
She had aged early, and her beauty had faded. She dressed up every day and sat on the street. Sometimes, she would smoke a cigarette and sit still until the ash burned out. Only then would she move.
— Do you know how to make a man happy and let him ejaculate faster? There's a little trick …
— You can let a man kiss any part of your body, except for your lips.
— I've lived alone for a long time, so I more or less learned to cook some dishes. After all, it's a waste of money to eat outside every day, isn't it? Actually, I think my culinary skills are not bad.
— You have to learn to protect yourself. Take this thing, and if you meet those who don't pay, spit in their eyes, and then kick their dick.
— I started doing it when I was 15.
— Someone you loved? Have you ever loved someone before?
— Actually, it's not bad to open a cafe by the sea. If there's a guy who can play guitar to sing love songs to me every day, it might be even better.
— Caroline, I think I'm sick …
— Caroline, am I going to die?
"Nia!" Caroline suddenly turned around and grabbed Nia's palm, "You'll be fine, the surgery will be successful … It will be successful!"
Nia smiled slightly, perhaps she felt relieved, "The money in the will isn't much … but … but after you get it, maybe you can try to study … You're much younger than me … There should be a way out …"
"It'll be fine … it'll definitely be fine!" Caroline said sadly.
"Finally …" Nia slowly closed her eyes, as if she had accumulated to the limit, "When it comes to men's words … don't believe them when you can. They're … animals that are good at deceiving … "
"Nia … Nia?" Looking at Nia who suddenly closed her eyes, Caroline suddenly panicked, "Doctor! Call the doctor! Doctor … "
She tried to shake Nia's shoulder, but was stopped by Carlo, who reminded her, "She's just asleep. The medicine she took made her drowsy. Don't wake her up, she's still very weak."
Caroline could only nod.
Outside the ward, the 'Eldest Cousin' suddenly talked to Carlo, while the 'Second Cousin' quickly handcuffed Caroline's hands again at this moment and covered them with her clothes again.
Carlo didn't seem surprised when he saw the two of them holding hands, and he still said enthusiastically, "Okay, gentlemen, it's a pleasure to work with you. I believe we'll be able to get a good amount of extra money in a few days. "
"Lawyer Carlo?" The 'Eldest Cousin' suddenly smiled, "Do you have a card? Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future. "
"Oh! It's my pleasure. "Carlo handed over his card with a smile.
This kind of thing often happened. Those in the underworld and lawyers who regarded professional ethics as bullsh * t were like dry firewood on fire. Caroline wasn't interested in the sudden mutual affection between the two.
A nurse next to them happened to be pushing a cart with all kinds of medicine and medical tools on it. She just took something from it quickly when the 'Eldest Cousin' and 'Second Cousin' weren't paying attention, and then stuffed it into the pocket of her clothes.
Carlo, Carlo, and the other two said goodbye in front of the hospital.
After that, the 'Eldest Cousin' asked the 'Second Cousin' what to do next. The 'Second Cousin' said, "Take this woman back. We'll talk about it after the lawyer gets the money in a few days … You follow this lawyer and see where he lives."
They were still careful in doing things.
The 'Eldest Cousin' nodded and quietly followed Carlo.
The 'Second Cousin' suddenly grabbed Caroline's arm and said coldly, "Let's go. Stay with us for another day. We will take good care of you, Miss Caroline."
"Wait a minute … I want to go to the toilet." Caroline stopped abruptly and covered her stomach, "Really!"
The 'Second Cousin' frowned, then pulled Caroline back to the hospital without saying a word.
He brought Caroline to the ladies' washroom on the first floor. Seeing that there was no one nearby, he quickly pulled Caroline into the washroom. In the washroom, 'Second Cousin' chose a toilet for Caroline that was for the disabled.
The 'Second Cousin' unlocked the handcuff on one side of his hand, then locked it on the handrail next to the toilet, and said indifferently, "I'll give you ten minutes."
The 'Second Cousin' quickly closed the door. After looking at the doors and windows in the ladies' bathroom, he walked out again and leaned against the wall outside the bathroom.
…
…
"Three days ago, we experienced the first despair of our lives here. Some of us have already unfortunately died in this disaster … "
In front of the theater, people wearing black clothes and holding white candles in their hands quietly lined up in rows.
There were many white roses placed around, and the candlelight dyed them yellow and white.
In addition to the emcee's speech, the sound of sobbing could be vaguely heard. It was probably the family or friends who lost their loved ones in the disaster.
In the distance, a black private car was parked. From the back seat of the car, the window was slightly rolled down, and a pair of indifferent eyes swept through the crowd in front of the theater gate.
"Why don't you let these people hold a memorial service in the theater?" Suddenly, there was a voice asking.
It was Ke Sini, who was also sitting in the back seat of the car. Naturally, she was accompanied by Doflamingo, who had become Dr. San Francesco.
The reason for this question was that San Francesco had secretly manipulated this memorial service early on. He asked people to reject the memorial service's request to apply for a venue and only allowed the area in front of the theater to be opened.
In fact, since the end of the hijacking that day, the Security Department and the police searched the scene, and the theater had been closed. After all, there had been a gunfight inside, and many things were damaged.
"Didn't I tell you?" San Francesco said.
"Nuclear bomb?" Ke Sini was taken aback, then frowned. She was still in Sao Paulo with Vita of the 'LK Brotherhood' in the morning, and immediately rushed back here at noon without stopping.
Regarding the reason why San Francesco chose to sponsor the renovation of the theater, Ke Sini only thought it was an unimportant joke.
"Of course it's a joke." San Francesco laughed strangely at this time, "In fact, before Roger died, he hid something very important to me. Nothing was found on his body, and the police should not have found it either. So I suspect that it is still hidden in the theater. "
"What is it?" Ke Sini frowned and asked.
San Francesco said indifferently, "If you can find it, you will know … Well, let people keep a close eye on it. Don't let anyone suspicious enter. I suspect that Roger's men are not all dead. Although Roger is a lunatic, he is not a fool. He should have some remaining men who did not directly participate in the hijacking, but outside to provide support … "
"Then I will stay here." Ke Sini nodded.
"No, you should accompany me to the banquet later." San Francesco shook his head, "Just tell the people below to do it. In addition, hurry up and find Buggy as soon as possible. I have something to ask him. "
"Yes, father."
"Drive." San Francesco ordered the driver in a deep voice.
The car slowly drove out. Almost at the same time, two figures were slowly coming from the side of the car. They were also looking at the memorial service in front of the theater.
One person lowered his voice and said, "Miss You Ye, you brought me here, don't tell me you want me to attend this memorial service?"
The people who came were … Buggy and Miss You Ye, the servant girl of the club.
Miss Maid's eyes inadvertently swept over the black private car that had just driven away, then looked at Buggy and said indifferently, "Not attending, but performing."
"Performing?" Buggy blinked his eyes.
Miss Maid said at this time, "These people are now in a very interesting state, just in time for you to use. Listen, it is a little troublesome for you to develop your own belief. If it is under normal circumstances, it will take a long time, and the effect will be slower. But because of the hijacking incident, you have a good opportunity. "
"I still don't quite understand …" Buggy shook his head.
Miss Maid said indifferently, "They heard some news. At the same time, they are also wondering about one thing … "
"What is it?"
You Ye said indifferently, "My master once made a group deal with these people. My master didn't hide anything … "
"This …" Buggy was stunned, and vaguely, he seemed to think of something.
"Go, show your miraculous power. Let me see how many believers you can get in one night. "You Ye smiled slightly," Let me see how high your potential is. "
"But I …" Buggy still wanted to say something.
But in the blink of an eye, Miss Maid had disappeared out of thin air. Buggy knew that the woman had hidden and was observing him in the dark.
There was no plan in advance, and she didn't clearly explain what needed to be done. She just let him go directly? Buggy smiled bitterly. He gritted his teeth and braced himself to walk into the crowd.
…
On the rooftop opposite the theater building, Miss Maid was holding a street food Pastel in her hand.
It was bought from the stall of the young man who set up a stall on the street.
But last time it was bought by Boss Luo, and he bought two. Tonight it was bought by Miss Maid, and she only bought one.
She ate quietly, and the night wind lifted her hair.
