In the evening.
"Mrs. Finch, this is the divorce agreement sent by Mr. Finch. Please make sure Miss Scout wakes up and signs it."
Scouts mother, Calpurnia, looked at the document in front of her and couldnt help but shout, "Does Atticus Finch have a conscience? My Scout has become like this, and does he want to get rid of my Scout so urgently?"
In the ward, as soon as Scout woke up, she heard the lawyer and her mother talking.
She couldnt help but laugh at herself. For Atticus Finch, her life and death were irrelevant, and the only use was to sign her name on that agreement!
Now that Myrtle Wilson has woken up, Atticus must be dreaming of divorcing her!
It turns out that for those who are not loved, one can be so ruthless!
Since thats the case, if he is unkind, why should I still talk about loyalty with him!
Scout slowly reached for her abdomen, and the originally bulging belly was now very flat. She said in her loudest voice, "Mom, let him in! Ill sign."
The lawyer came in and politely placed the divorce agreement and pen in front of her.
"Miss Finch, this is your divorce agreement with Mr. Finch. If you dont have any other questions, just sign your name below."
Scout took the pen and paused on the paper, then suddenly looked up and said, "If you want me to sign, you should call Mr. Finch first."
"This..." The lawyer was a bit hesitant at first, but under Scouts insistence, he took out his mobile phone and called Atticus Finch, while adjusting the pinhole monitor on his chest to facilitate his bosss remote viewing.
Scout took the phone and said, "Atticus Finch, Ive read the divorce agreement, and I have no objections."
"Since there are no objections, why dont you sign?" Atticus said disdainfully.
Scout touched her belly and said in a cold voice, "The thing is, I want to hold a memorial service for the child. As the nominal father, you must attend."
Atticus stared at Scout on the screen, frowned, and said, "A memorial service? What tricks do you want to play this time, you crazy woman?"
"Tricks?" Scout couldnt help but laugh, "Do you think your dead child doesnt even deserve a memorial service?"
"Alright, I agree." After that, Atticus hung up the phone immediately.
After signing, Scout handed the agreement to the lawyer and calmly said, "Please tell Atticus Finch that he must transfer all my property to this account before midnight."
However, in Atticuss eyes, Scout was just a woman with a double face.
Yesterday, she was unwilling to divorce and abort the child; today, she took the money so calmly, which made him extremely disgusted.
Myrtle Wilson looked at the resolute expression of Scout on the screen, and then at Atticuss unhappy expression, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She pursed her lips and defended Scout in a weak voice: "Atticus, dont be angry with her! She just lost her child, its normal for her to be a bit abnormal."
"Abnormal? I think shes very normal!" Atticus turned off the monitor and said in a deep voice.
Myrtle Wilson looked at Atticuss somewhat ferocious face and was a bit unhappy, but she lowered her voice and said, "Atticus, can you take me to see her? Im afraid she wont think it through. The last time I met her was just a brief encounter, and I didnt have time to understand and communicate."
Atticus noticed that his tone was not good just now, so he quickly sat by Myrtles bed and hugged her to comfort her: "Myrtle, your body is not yet recovered. I wont allow you to be hurt again."
"Myrtle, I know your intentions." Myrtle leaned over and pecked Atticus on the lips, then said, "But you know, Im always curious about you. I was thinking, during the time I was in a coma, what kind of woman could stay by your side?"
"You!" Atticus stroked Myrtles nose with his hand and smiled, "I promise you. But you have to promise me not to get close to her."
"Okay."
