Chapter 1269: Too Kind

"Is that her?" Standing outside the door of the ward, Aiden watched a good show in the room.

A plainly dressed woman was standing in front of the hospital bed and kept yelling; 'The room fee here is refundable, they paid for 2 months, do you know how much it is? That money can be used to buy clothes for your younger brothers and sisters, pay utility bills... and go to school for you...'

The woman's mouth sounded more powerful than the 'Chicago Typewriter', talking endlessly, but Christina on the bed just lay on her side and did not speak.

"Yes, because I blocked that blow for you, the doctor said that I need to rest for a while." Farandi stood beside him.

Aiden's confinement is not over yet. Mary will release him today only when she learns that he is coming to thank the benefactor who saved her. The condition is that Farland must be by her side.

"Let's go in!" The woman inside seemed unlikely to stop by herself, and Aiden had no time to wait any longer.

"Excuse me..." Aiden knocked on the door and walked into the ward, interrupting the chatter.

"Who are you?" The woman asked curiously.

"Miss Christina, I'm Aiden..." Aiden bowed and smiled slightly, and walked around the hospital bed to stand in front of Christina.

"You are...that drunk guy." Christina propped herself up with one hand, struggling to sit up.

"It's me." Aiden smiled awkwardly.

The other party was injured because of himself, and getting drunk is not something worth showing off. Whether someone got hurt because of it, or the atmosphere at home was extremely dull during this time, Aiden tried his best to restrain his desire to indulge.

"Did Tina get hurt because of you?" The woman found a new topic.

"You are?" Aiden didn't understand why he answered her question.

"I'm Tina's mother, Peggy." Peggy finished speaking and continued: "She has been unable to work because of you, and our whole family has become poor because of it. Shouldn't you?"

"Responsible?" Aiden said incredulously: "If I remember correctly, my father has already given the check."

"Of course..." Peggy said awkwardly; "But, you must know that Tina is the main labor force in our family, and everyone needs to rely on her to live..."

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. If it's okay, I want to talk to Miss Christina alone." Aiden looked at Farland.

"Ma'am, this way please." Farandi invited her.

Peggy looked at Aiden with some reluctance, but still followed Farland out of the ward. The other party was not someone like her who could be provoked.

"What do you want? If it's thanks, you've done enough." Christina didn't think the other party owed herself anything.

The cost of this ward for two months is more than 6,000 dollars, plus private care and meals, it may have far exceeded tens of thousands of dollars.

For three meals a day, Christina can eat a lot of food that she has never eaten or even heard of. The taste of food makes her taste buds picky.

If this continues, she may not be able to swallow simple meals after she is discharged from the hospital.

"I just want to express my thanks in person. By the way... If Miss Tina needs any help, you can also tell me." For the sake of saving his life, Aiden will not refuse any of her conditions.

Of course, within the scope of reason and ability,

If she wanted the stars in the sky, Aiden really couldn't do it.

"If it's my father, maybe I can invest in the aerospace industry and send her to the stars sooner or later..." Aiden thought funny.

"No, thank you...you can go." Christina said firmly.

Seeing that the other party was serious, Aiden didn't insist anymore, and he left the ward after the gentleman's bow. After Peggy outside the door saw him, he offered compensation again unwillingly.

Seeing that Aiden just walked forward, the bodyguard consciously separated him from Peggy, using their strong and powerful arms to keep the other from getting closer.

"Well, what does Peggy do?" Sitting in the car, looking at Peggy who was still unwilling in front of the hospital, Aiden really admired her thick skin.

"I don't know, do you need to investigate?" Farandi asked in a low voice.

"No need." Thinking that it would be difficult for them to meet again in the future, Aiden gave up the idea of ​​investigating.

In fact, if he pressed on, Farrand would tell him about the bloody, chaotic, squalid life of the Peggy family.

Peggy has 5 children, and Christina is the eldest sister. She lives in the 26th block of Brooklyn, a neighborhood full of assholes and scum.

These 5 children were born to Peggy and different men, and some of them didn't even know the father of the children. And without exception, they left their children to Peggy and disappeared by themselves.

Peggy has a serious alcohol problem. She is immersed in her tragic relationship and tragic life every day, and she only knows to stay at home or eat and drink everywhere.

The 4 little guys go to school in a chaotic community school. It is better to say that they are going to school than to pass the time, learn something by the way, pick up girls, and find some ways to make money.

For them, the most important concern from childhood to adulthood is how to live, to live more comfortably, more comfortably...

Petty theft is commonplace for them, but nothing serious.

The same is true for Christina, who has been charged with theft, injury, and debt evasion several times. She worked very hard, and she committed several crimes when she was forced to go nowhere.

According to the survey, she is not bad in nature, she is strong, independent, and kind.

It's just that she was a little too kind, and the burden of the whole family was on her body, as if she was going to drain her blood from the inside out until she died...

It was also because she was a kind person that Mary agreed to Aiden's personal thanks. Now her trust in her son has dropped to freezing point.

Credit needs to be accumulated little by little, but it only takes a moment to destroy it.

Aiden had lost that trust by choosing to indulge in drunkenness, putting his own safety at risk.

Now, he has to regain his mother's trust, and it is more difficult than before.

"Forget it, let's go collect the rent first." Looking at the registration book in hand, Aiden scratched his head in distress.

Why can't these houses be together? Although the apartment manager received him in advance, Aiden still has to go to more than 20 different places.

Another thing that bothered him was that Riley had an awkward relationship, and the apartment was still working with her uncle, Lardy's agency.

Although personal feelings and life are separated, that is just a saying. Besides, seeing Lardy now would embarrass him.

The relationship between him and Riley has not been clarified, and Aiden doesn't know what to do, and where their relationship will go.

But, so far... things don't seem to be turning around.

Neither he nor Riley intends to show weakness and turn around?
