His tone was very gentle when he said that. He faced me and blocked the sunlight coming through the glass behind him.
My whole body was in the shadow.
If it was in the past, his tone and expression would definitely give me the same feeling as the early summer weather. It was neither cold nor hot, and the feeling was just right.
However, when he said so at this moment, I only felt a cold sweat on my back.
But I didn't shrink back. I looked into his eyes and said directly, "Because I don't want to marry you, I don't want to have anything to do with you, but I still want to save Glenn."
"You, are so greedy."
He said slowly.
His tone was still placid.
"Greedy? I'm not greedy." I sneered, "Like Lisa said, it was you that get me involved in your revenge."
"You're also one of the beneficiaries, aren't you?" He looked at me. "Back then, you were the one who traded yourself for what Patrick wanted, weren't you?"
"But you stole them! Those things were originally belong to Patrick."
I said firmly.
I figured it out a long time ago.
Those things had always been Patrick's. Even if I violated my own words later, I didn't owe him anything if I left!
Shelton started the car, faced the front, and sneered. "The business field is like a battlefield. Everyone knows that if you are willing to take the gamble, you have to admit defeat. Is it only me who wants to bring him down? Definitely not, no matter who defeated him, he is going to admit his failure. What? Will he go to cry about others unfair competition?"
Shelton's speed of speaking was unhurried.
But his words sounded flawless.
Making it impossible for me to found his flaws.
Indeed, I also understood this. The market was so big, and the enterprise naturally wanted to win a bigger market through various competitions.
If one couldn't do that, the best way would be to kill the people who had occupied amount of resources. Then, the market would be vacant, and someone would definitely take the place.
This principle was similar to being a star.
I didn't say anything else.
Shelton did not say anything further as well.
The car drove all the way to the downtown, and he accurately sent me to Rosy's home. He looked at me and said, "Janetta, in two weeks, we'll meet again."
He was sure about this.
He knew that I would definitely go to him.
As a matter of fact, the medicine Shelton gave me was really amazing.
After eating three pills for three days, Glenn's fever was really gone, and he was full of energy again.
He had eaten more and his eyes became brighter. It was as if he had recovered completely.
He hugged me happily and said, "Mom, I'm finally cured!"
"Yeah." I touched his soft hair, feeling more and more worried.
The more effective this medicine was, the more likely Glenn would sick two weeks later.
Time passed day by day, and Glenn did not go to kindergarten. At home everything was normal for him. His body temperature was normal, he ate as usual, and there was nothing unusual about his excretory system.
I hadn't gone to work for these days, so that I could accompany him to observe his situation.
All the normal signs lasted until two weeks after taking the medicine.
He started to have a fever again.
Touching his hot body, I couldn't help but cried.
Lying on the bed, watching me cry, Glenn pulled me and said, "Mom, don't cry, I'm fine."
"Okay..." I nodded.
My heart was extremely flustered.
I took out my mobile phone and dialed Patrick's number.
His phone was still powered off.
I held Glenn's hand and it's boiling hot. I was in a panic.
