death of hope

Chapter 273 "Corporate Warrior" (189) Heart Disease

In the afternoon on a sunny day, the breeze is accompanied by the sound of insects, which is a good weather for sunbathing.
Sigurdlifa is wearing a swimsuit and sunglasses, lying flat on a cute yellow duck inflatable boat,
The water in the light blue swimming pool is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the disinfectant tablets at the bottom of the pool.

The light passes through the lush branches and shines on the beautiful and strong body. The fair skin has been tanned to a wheat color, and the muscle lines that have been tempered are like chiseled and axed.
She is not the kind of lady who is close to others, exuding a mature and wild charm.

By the pool, Condell, a dedicated old gardener, is cutting weeds with a long, sharp scythe,

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound from behind the fence covering the roses:
"Boom! Whoops!"

Sigurdriefa pushed down his sunglasses: "What's that sound? Mr. Condell."

"The ladder fell down, and some kid who was climbing fell down." The old gardener said with a smile, "It's the third time today. You didn't hear it when you wore earphones the first two times."

"Someone peeping?"

"Yes, but don't worry, it's not adults, it's boys who have just entered puberty." The gardener put down his scythe and wiped his sweat: "A group of young and ignorant little fools are looking for female hormones everywhere. Mom taught them a lesson."

"Forget it, don't tell their parents, I love fighting since I was a child, and I don't like sneaking up on teachers to complain."

"Ma'am, you are really bold and carefree."

"Don't call me madam, we're not married yet."

"In my opinion, it's a certainty. It's okay to call earlier." The old gardener squatted down and continued to cut weeds.

There was a crackling sound, the sound of shoes stepping on the gravel, the boys who peeked outside the fence seemed to have withdrawn, and it was unknown when the next wave of visits would come. This house will not stop until the end of the school summer vacation.

(Everyone's children know how to peek, and they brought it to their mouths, but you don't want me!)
Sigdrifa was sullen. She took off her sunglasses, plunged into the water and began to dive. She swam to the shore and boarded the stainless steel escalator. She brushed away her wet blond hair, just in time to see Lynch crossing his legs. sitting.

The weight of the fiancé makes the wooden recliner creak dangerously,
He held the letter in one hand and the brochure in the other, reading it over and over again, occasionally staring at the clouds in the sky.

(What's wrong with him? He's been in a daze lately?)
Sigurdriefa frowned, and the sullenness in her heart turned into worry. She felt that she was stupid, and it was ridiculous to be jealous of a book and a letter.

But the fact is that her fiancé hasn't touched her for three whole days, and besides his poor cooking skills, he hasn't done anything wrong, and he's full of grievances.

"Hey! Mr. Captain! Are you asleep or awake?"

"Huh?" Lynch put down the booklet and put the letter inside: "Call me?"

"Someone peeping on a ladder doesn't know, you! Why don't you just marry that booklet as your wife. That letter is your second aunt."

"What's the big deal for me, isn't it just being peeked at by the boy? It's no big deal, and I won't lose a piece of meat."

"Bah! You're a human being!"

"Basking in the sun in such revealing swimsuits, it's no surprise that no one is peeping."

"Indeed, I, a good-for-nothing old man, can't help but take a sneak peek." The old gardener patted the soil on his body after trimming the weeds: "It's time to get off work, Mr. Lynch."

"Thank you for your hard work, old man, the reward will be paid to you next week."

"Come on! We will be neighbors on the same street in the future. If you need help, just call!"

The old gardener carried his sickle and left humming a little tune.

"There are no outsiders now," Sigurdlifa sat down across the table: "To be honest, I am very worried about you."

"I'm sorry... I know... I've been a little restless recently... I always ignore you." Lynch lowered his head, looking very ashamed: "I will adjust my mentality so that I won't let these negative emotions affect me." to our plan."

"You really plan to marry me?"

"Don't be kidding! There can still be fakes! You see, the house and car are all ready, and there are so many enthusiastic neighbors to help, the wedding will not be a problem."

"Why look away, look into my eyes, honey, look into my eyes."

Lynch looked into those silver-gray pupils, his lover was close at hand, but he uncontrollably glanced at the letters and brochures on the table from the corner of his eye, like a distracted child with ADHD.

"It's annoying... I can't concentrate! Could it be PTSD?" He sighed: "Maybe, I should see a psychiatrist."

"No." Sigdrifa walked behind him, hugged the ugly face full of scars to his chest, and hugged her tightly: "No, you are not sick, you are just not ready yet."

"Ready for what?"

"Forget the past and face the future."

Lynch clenched his fists irritably, and gave a light hammer to the table: "I've tried not to think about the past."

"Obviously you couldn't. Last night you were talking in your sleep. You were calling for Bess, your sister."

"Talking in sleep again? How embarrassing!" Lynch grabbed his hair with both hands and closed his eyes hard:
"I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me recently. I can't sleep well at night, my mind is lax during the day, and no amount of antidepressants have any effect."

"Don't eat blindly, it will hurt your body, just say what you have, and we will bear it together."

"Thank you, Seager..." Lynch held her hand: "I try hard...try to let go of everything in the past, try to come out of the shadows, life must go on, just like what the pastor said during the service , Bury the memory and look forward to the future.”

"You failed to let go, but got deeper and deeper. This is what I am worried about. Now you are talking in your sleep, and you will be sleepwalking in the future. What will happen next? Some things must be cut off, and I will help you You get rid of the heart disease!"

"It's none of your business, Sig, don't get involved."

"Now it has something to do with me. I know it even if you don't tell me. I have read that pamphlet, that letter, and your babble in your dream. You suspect that the tragedy in your family is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. You I want to investigate, I want to clear the fog."

Lynch knew that he couldn't hide it any longer, so he had no choice but to tell the truth:

"It's too suspicious, everything is too strange, the death of my father, the destruction of my hometown Pandora, the death of my mother and sister..."

"You suspect that high-level federal officials were involved."

"Hush! Keep your voice down!"

"How long will your contract with the company expire?"

"Why do you ask this? Half a year."

"Then we must hurry up and use the resources of McMillan to investigate this matter,

With your status in the company and your contacts, you can choose missions. I heard that the star field where Pandora is located has not been peaceful recently, and there are alien pirates infesting it.

Come on, your old chief, Major Ron, will surely find a reason to go. "

"If I have to go, I will go by myself. I don't want to implicate anyone, and put others in danger because of my random guesses."

"Others?" Sigdrifa's eyes were wild and fiery, like a crusader female knight about to participate in a holy war:

"Lynch, look at me, do you think I am a person who is afraid of danger? Am I a coward?"
