At four in the afternoon, after a heavy rain, Scout Finch was kneeling in front of the tightly closed door of a villa, drenched and looking as miserable as could be. Despite her dizziness, she kept knocking on the door, pleading, "Atticus, please help the child, I beg you..."
Even though her mind was foggy, she knocked on the door again, and suddenly the villa door was opened. Scout immediately stiffened, nervously looking up.
Two people who were about to go out also saw Scout kneeling at the door.
"Hey, playing the victim, huh? With such heavy rain, Atticus and I thought you had left long ago!" Scout looked at the woman with delicate makeup and fashionable latest style clothing, Myrtle Wilson, the woman who had kicked her and her three-year-old sick son out of the house a month ago.
Scout knew how much Atticus hated her. Although the incident three years ago was really a misunderstanding, Atticus believed she was malicious, and she must be malicious. She had endured such a life, not quite human nor ghost, for three years, especially when Atticus always brought different women back to humiliate her, shattering her heart that loved him unconditionally.
The greatest sorrow is more than heart death. She probably didnt want to argue anymore, took her son and left the house with nothing, and life became a bit easier.
If possible, she would rather never step in here!
Scout averted her gaze and looked at Atticus, biting her pale lips, hoarsely speaking: "Atticus, the babys illness has worsened, the doctor said he must have surgery..."
Before she could finish, Atticus interrupted mercilessly.
"Surgery has nothing to do with me, you should beg the doctor, not me!" Atticus stared at her, his eyes too sharp, too sharp, radiating a light that wanted to tear her into pieces and grind her bones.
Scout felt a little scalp numbness, a flash of panic in her heart but it passed in an instant, after all, she was bullied and it was okay, as long as she could save the babys life.
"Atticus, the baby needs a bone marrow transplant, mine is not compatible, you are his father, now only you can save the baby!"
As soon as Atticus heard the words "you are his father," his eyes instantly burst into anger, gritting his teeth and saying: "Thats the child you designed to be alone, not mine! Scout Finch, you should know that if it werent for my mother, that child would have died long ago!"
Scouts heart trembled, full of sorrow.
How harsh the words were, like a blunt knife cutting her heart.
"Atticus, please..."
Scout begged humbly, just wanting to move and realized that her knees were already numb, the pain made her unable to stand up, she gritted her teeth and tried to hold on.
Atticuss deep eyes stared at Scout, seeing her painful look, suddenly feeling a bit uncomfortable in his heart, he snorted coldly, and the cold voice rang again.
"Well, if I save your child, its okay!"
Scout immediately looked up at Atticuss cold eyes and immediately asked, "What conditions?"
She grew up together, she understood Atticus too well, even a glance, a movement, she could know what he was going to do next, what he was thinking.
She was like this, loving a person to the bone, and also humble to the dust.
Myrtle Wilson, who was on the side, saw that Atticus seemed to have softened, and felt uncomfortable in her heart, and quickly stepped forward and took his arm and coaxed: "Atticus, why do you promise her, anyway, you dont like her and hate her to the bone, dont forget that she was the culprit who made Myrtle Wilson disappear from now on!"
In an instant, Atticuss face was gloomy, his face was very ugly, and his eyes were sharp and looked at Myrtle Wilson.
Myrtle Wilsons heart shivered, scared and immediately let go and stepped back two steps: "Atticus, dont look at me like this, I just tell the truth, Im afraid you forgot!"
Atticus didnt speak, his whole body was surging with a cold air, like a hellish demon, terrifying and terrifying.
He walked to the black Rolls-Royce, sat directly into the drivers seat, and then looked back at Scout: "If you want to save your child, get in the car quickly!"
