latent syndrome

Chapter 89 88. Garden
Santa Maria District, a relatively quiet community, well-maintained old-fashioned Mediterranean-style buildings, blue and white paint, as sunny and pleasant as the sky and the sea, covers a relatively large area, with many activity areas, including children's play areas .

In the backyard garden, a variety of fragrant ornamental herbs are planted in beautiful flower beds stacked with glass stones.

Eugene pushed the wheelchair and took the former dean out to relax. Although the weather is not ideal, the garden has a glass sun shed, so that these delicate flowers will not be destroyed by the rain. Even if the sky is dark and heavy rain is coming, it can also block the rain.

This elderly woman has already suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Colin heard from Eugene that this old man grew up here when she was a child. Many years have passed, and the times have changed. She still lives here and regards it as a He left home and never left from the beginning to the end. He is a very remarkable person.

But now she is unable to move or speak, and only occasionally speaks gibberish of unknown meaning.

The funds for such public facilities basically come from the city council’s appropriation, and occasionally there is assistance from charitable foundations. However, it is far from enough to realize the closed-loop structure of the internal circulation of the society, and more of it is one of the promises made by the mayor’s campaign participants. One wins popular votes to win votes, providing proof of ability to adopt generous tax breaks for families who adopt children.

Only in this way can a complete closed loop be formed.

In view of the fact that this orphanage has had a very warm atmosphere since the old director, and has never been rich in private pockets, and life has not been too bad, but that's all, except for the period before and after the election, all the funds are barely enough day.

It’s just that Eugene has used the salary of the Countermeasures Bureau to carry out a lot of repairs and renovations in the past few months. Colin saw that the level of luxury here is comparable to some sanatoriums for rich children to detoxify, but it still lacks a yoga club. The modern deconstructed architectural style of the swimming pool fountain has a high-level sense, but it is also extremely good.

Colin could guess that Eugene invested most of the prize money from the Bilever Hills and White Rock incidents at the stock exchange.

Just now I saw a child playing with a brand of genuine building blocks, which are expensive, which Colin did not expect. It seems that Eugene has indeed spent a lot of thought on this place, not only in terms of money.

"No wonder no one adopted you. If I walk around here, I'll feel disgusted when I see a young lady with smoky makeup."

Colin dropped a flower with his hand, sniffed it and found it boring, saw the ground was clean and didn't know where to throw it, so he secretly stuffed it into the soil when Eugene wasn't paying attention, buried it, and patted the dirt on his hands, pretending Nothing happened.

"You're really good at socializing, Colin."

Eugene's eyelids twitched.

"Do you know the sheriff of Baishi Town?"

Colin could never forget that man.

"what happened?"

When Liszt took the photo from the observation post, she glanced at it, wondering why Colin mentioned this, the sheriff was not dead?
"He's a... very tenacious man, I sold my medal, the stock exchange at that time."

"You actually sold it?"

"Why, do you still keep it?"

"sold."

"...In short, I redeemed it again. Through the information network of the Countermeasures Bureau, I found the daughter of the sheriff. Their relationship seems not to be harmonious. Even after seeing the relevant news, they didn't react too much. His daughter is a The frontman of Metallica, when I found her, there was another naked woman in the room."

"It goes without saying, okay?"

"I gave that medal to his daughter."

"That doesn't sound like your style."

"Because it wasn't on the news and no one knew what the man had done, I told her I've never seen anyone cry so hard."

"So what the hell did that sheriff do?"

Eugene was speechless, and when Colin didn't speak riddles, he still didn't speak riddles.

"Sometimes, you will find that the will of a person...maybe really be comparable to a god."

"Don't want to say it, don't say it."

The weather outside turned cold, and Eugene pushed the wheelchair back indoors.

A group of innocent children were playing around indoors, and Colin couldn't help but imagine the scene where Eugene was mischievous and troubled here when he was a child.

Because of work, Eugene doesn't come here often, and there is no happy scene where a group of children are clamoring for her to play with. I am not very familiar with it, but they are all extremely polite. , I will still greet her very warmly.

It was mainly because of the companion brought by Eugene, whose appearance was really not suitable for children.

"Are you leaving again so soon?"

A care worker grew up with Eugene since he was a child. Seeing that Eugene has a successful career and the money transferred to the orphanage account can last for many years, she is still very worried because they all carry guns. What kind of dangerous work does the functional department do? Recently, Los Angeles has become more and more uneasy, and it is related to some crazy organizations with indecent names. I don't want any accidents to happen to a kind-hearted person like Eugene.

"Yeah, let's stop cooking tonight. I'll treat the kids to pizza and order something. They should like the children's meal with toys. The promotion on TV, the children should love it."

Eugene bought dinner with his mobile phone, and was about to leave with Colin.

"The old dean spoke late the day before yesterday."

The nurse said suddenly.

"Say something."

Eugene stopped.

"She asked where you were and said you used to play the part of the bride when you were a kid and make wedding dresses out of tissue paper."

The nurse smiled slightly when she said this.

Because Colin was beside him, Eugene was a little embarrassed, holding his forehead and not knowing what to say.

Colin gave her a thumbs up, not knowing whether it was teasing or admiring.

Just deal with a few words in the past.

The two returned to the pickup truck and left.

Today, Colin finally understands why a woman in her golden age drives a pickup truck, so that she can transport some books or toys, as well as some heavy items.

A few kilometers away from the orphanage.

Colin is not very good at dealing with this kind of scene, because Eugene's red eyes have been suppressed all the time. Although he didn't make the slightest cry, even if it was a decibel sobbing sound, he could still feel the faint sadness in the air.

"I have something urgent to get out of the car. Just stop at the intersection ahead. Let's meet after the rest."

Colin unbuckled his seat belt, made a gesture to get out of the car, and prepared to "escape".

Eugene didn't say anything, and stopped the car near the side of the road.

The engine of the pickup truck did not turn off, because the hazy sky already had signs of rain, and with a few rolling thunders, a torrential rain poured down without warning.

It seemed to be giving Colin some kind of hint.

However, Ke Lin ignored it, pulled the handle and opened the car door, and the sound of dripping raindrops quickly poured into the car, but he hesitated.

"There's an umbrella in the cargo compartment."

Eugene said calmly.

boom……

However, Colin closed the car door and sat in the car without saying a word.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and both of them just sat there without saying anything.

"you……"

Before Eugene finished speaking.

"Don't you still have coupons at Montgomery's barbecue restaurant, let's go together and forget it."

He said so.

Just as Colin expected.

Whether it was his wife, or the sheriff's daughter, maybe all the women in the world.

When you cry, it's the same heartbreak.
