章 7: Birthday Party
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the police officer explained the situation, he gave Wayne a red square box.
"Ms. Kesha Collins asked me to pass this to you. She said it's a small gift from her."
Wayne did not refuse and took the red box.
He had just saved Bob, and there was no need for him to reject Kesha Collins' gift.
Lisa was originally planning to bring Wayne over to buy some things, but after this incident, she was no longer in the mood and returned to the car.
Wayne had no choice but to get into the car and leave the scene of the accident.
In the car, Lisa wanted to apologize to Wayne for what had happened just now.
However, before today, she had always been the absolute leader in their relationship.
She couldn't accept the fact that she had to apologize to Wayne all of a sudden.
Therefore, even though she wanted to apologize to Wayne in her heart, the words she said in the end were a reprimand.
"The next time you encounter such a situation, don't make a move so casually. If you make a mistake today and cause an even greater disaster, no one will be able to save you!"
Wayne nodded. He did not argue with Lisa, nor did he mind Lisa's reprimand.
He knew from Lisa's defense of him in front of the police that although she looked angry, she actually cared about him.
Lisa saw that Wayne did not speak, so she focused on driving.
Wayne looked out of the window and thought of poor little Bob.
Although little Bob had been sent to the hospital, the doctor might not be able to cure him.
After all, little Bob's injuries were so serious that even the doctors at the scene thought he was beyond saving.
At the thought of this, Wayne decided to visit little Bob in the hospital that night or the next day, and at the same time, see if he could completely cure little Bob's injury.
The car continued to move forward.
Lisa tilted her head and glanced at Wayne. She felt a little apologetic when she thought about how Wayne didn't do anything wrong just now, yet he was reprimanded by her.
"Wayne, what are your plans for the future?" she asked.
Wayne's mother's health had recovered. Wayne did not need to continue taking care of his mother, so he should find something to do.
Wayne thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet. I'll look for a job first."
Lisa nodded. Just as she was about to introduce Wayne to work...
"Lisa," Wayne suddenly said, "You shouldn't continue wearing that violet gemstone around your neck."
"This violet gemstone, it has..."
Before Wayne could finish his sentence, Lisa immediately frowned and rebuked him angrily.
"Wayne!"
Lisa stopped the car and looked at Wayne with anger. "I'm just wearing a necklace! What could be wrong with a gemstone? Besides, this was given to me by my mother. Do you think my mother will curse me for saying such things?"
Wayne was stunned for a moment before he quickly continued, "I didn't mean it that way. It's just that violet gemstones do have a curse on them! Your mother definitely wouldn't curse you, but she might have been tricked into giving you this cursed gem."
As Wayne spoke, he seemed to have recalled something.
"Look, the incident we encountered today is the cause of the curse."
Lisa sneered when she heard this.
"Wayne, you can even say such things now, huh? The police have already explained to us that this incident was caused by the aging billboard. What does it have to do with the violet gemstones?! I'm warning you, I'm an atheist, and my mother loves me very much. I will never believe in any curse!"
Lisa's expression was furious. She pointed at Wayne and said, "If you continue to say such things, then please get out of the car!"
Of course, Wayne did not want to fall out with Lisa at this time, so he could only remain silent.
He could clearly feel that the violet gemstone on Lisa's chest was the source of today's disaster.
The power of the curse was still surrounding Lisa.
If he didn't find a way to solve it, the power of the curse would soon kill Lisa!
However, since Lisa was so determined on this matter, Wayne had no way of snatching the violet gemstone from her.
Wayne could only decide to stay by Lisa's side and observe the situation.
He would find a suitable opportunity to remove Lisa's curse.
About half an hour later, Lisa's car stopped in front of a grand and gorgeous hotel.
The name of the hotel was written on the door.
Wayne was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted.
That's right!
Wasn't it his father-in-law, Albert Jones', birthday today?
At the thought of this, Wayne suddenly felt a little vexed.
Too many things had happened to him recently, and he had forgotten his father-in-law's birthday.
At the thought of this, Wayne quickly got out of the car and said to Lisa, "I'm sorry, I forgot to buy Albert a birthday present. I'll go get one now."
Lisa frowned and reached out to stop him.
"Wait, I've already prepared it for you."
After saying that, Lisa took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from the car and handed it to Wayne.
