Chapter 238 Secret Talk
Chapter 238 Secret Talk
After dinner, the group took a short walk around the area.
Mrs. Seaforth had to get up early to accompany her daughter to the crew tomorrow, so the family left early. Fearing that her good friend would be lonely, she asked Meilin to stay with her. Adjutant Qiu had nothing to do tomorrow, so the four of them continued to travel together.
Xu Weiwei was afraid that she would not be able to get up tomorrow, so she washed up early and lay down on the bed to try to fall asleep.
Mrs. Seaforth dressed quietly and got out of bed.
Siphos was confused, so he put his arm around his lover's waist and asked, "Where are we going?"
Mrs. Seaforth pried his hands apart and said, "Go across the street and look for McQueen. He's been here longer and knows more. I haven't been here for a long time, so he knows some things better."
Sifos was confused: "What's the matter? Just ask me, what if I know?"
Mrs. Seaforth sighed. "About Ver, you forgot her...her...ah—"
"Have you forgotten what we talked about on the starship?"
Seaforth suddenly realized: "Oh - she has psychological problems, right?"
"But she has always behaved normally, except for her overly strong heart. Could it be that we are too concerned? Wei'er doesn't look like a problematic child."
"Are you her biological father? The illustrations in those books horrify me. There are people with their heads and bodies torn apart, people who are crushed in half, people with large areas of burns, and people whose skin on their backs has been peeled off..."
"The cross-section of the wound and the muscle tissue are so clear. Even as an adult, I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it now. What normal girl would look at this kind of thing every day?!" Mrs. Sivers couldn't help but raise her voice, becoming more and more excited as she spoke.
Seaforth held her hand, "Shhh - calm down, keep your voice down dear."
Mrs. Seaforth realized that she was overly emotional, so she slowly exhaled, adjusted herself, and said in a calm tone: "I know you have seen many casualties, and the tragic conditions of some corpses may be even more difficult to describe, so you think this is just child's play."
"But you have to know that Wei'er is still a child."
"I haven't been able to find an opportunity to act alone during the day. Now, while Wei'er is sleeping, I have to ask McQueen if there is a psychiatric or psychological hospital here."
"I'll go with you," said Siphos, pushing up his upper body.
Mrs. Seaforth placed both her hands on his chest and pushed him down again. "There are women on the other side, so it's not convenient for you to go there at night. I can do it alone, and I'll tell you when I get back."
"It's inconvenient for anyone to go there at night, right? Aren't you afraid of disturbing the couple's love?" Sifos raised his eyebrows.
Mrs. Seaforth rolled her eyes at him. "You are just as inconsiderate as me. I just sent a message to McQueen to remind him."
"Oh, it has to be my wife. She is so thoughtful and everything is so clean!" Sifos showed his big white teeth and gave a thumbs up.
Mrs. Seaforth was so angry that she threw the quilt over his face, stood up and walked out.
"That's watertight!"
I rang the doorbell outside the room and McQueen quickly came over and opened the door.
"I'm here, sister. What's the matter with you coming here so late? Just tell me on your computer."
"It's definitely not convenient to talk about this online when I come to you in person," Mrs. Seaforth said as she walked inside.
"Hmm?" McQueen's expression turned serious. "What's going on? Is it serious?"
When I walked into the living room, Jiang Linlin was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a script in her hand. She stood up and greeted me, "Sister."
Mrs. Seaforth paused, "Well, Linlin hasn't slept yet."
"No, um - is it inconvenient for me to listen? Then I'll go back to the bedroom first." Seeing that Mrs. Sifos seemed to have something to hide, Jiang Linlin said tactfully.
"No, no need. There's nothing to be shy about. Sit down and listen. It's about Wei'er..."
Mrs. Seaforth told them the whole story. Then she asked them, "You two have been here for quite a long time. Do you know anyone in this field?"
McQueen and Jiang Linlin both frowned. Jiang Linlin immediately remembered a police thriller film she had participated in before. The murderer in one of the cases was a little boy about ten years old.
The other party was addicted to holographic games and enjoyed the thrill of killing people in the game. Later, he began to feel unsatisfied. When his father was disciplining him, he stabbed his father's heart with a hidden knife. Fearing that his mother would find out, he ambushed her at the entrance and killed her when she entered the house.
Afterwards, he was able to clean up the scene and hide the body well. When facing the police's questioning, he calmly lied and fabricated the facts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Linlin couldn't help but shiver.
McQueen thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the three hospitals in the main city mainly treat external and internal injuries. I'm not sure if there are any psychiatric departments. I've never heard of a psychologist here."
"I see..." Mrs. Seaforth was a little disappointed.
"Don't be discouraged, sister. I'll ask someone tomorrow. Maybe there's a surgeon who understands psychology."
"I'll ask around in the crew tomorrow as well," Jiang Linlin also said.
"Okay, thank you in advance."
"What are you thanking me for? I am your brother, and Wei'er is my niece."
After the matter was said, Mrs. Seaforth was about to say goodbye and leave, and the two men sent her to the door. Mrs. Seaforth suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "By the way, this matter is hidden from Wei'er. She doesn't know yet, and I don't want to cause her psychological pressure."
The couple nodded: "Yes, I understand."
The next morning, Xu Weiwei struggled to get out of bed. She had set the alarm for five o'clock, but getting up so early made her feel extremely sleepy.
It wasn't until a handful of water was poured on my face that I forced myself to turn on the phone.
Just after changing clothes, Kane knocked on the door: "Weier, are you awake?"
Xu Weiwei quickly put on her bag and went out: "Wake up, everything is packed."
Kane smiled and patted her head: "It's rare that you can get up so early on your own. I was worried that you would stay in bed."
Xu Weiwei raised her head and said seriously, "We can't delay my aunt's work."
"Good girl, let's go downstairs. We'll drive over today and have breakfast in the car." Kane took her hand.
Several people were riding in Jiang Linlin's nanny car. After getting in the car, Xu Weiwei only saw her mother, Aunt Meilin, uncle and aunt, and her eldest brother Kane who was holding her hand.
"What about the rest?"
"Ryan can't get up, and Ryan is worried that too many people going there will get in the way, so Dad stays to take care of them." Mrs. Seaforth said as she beckoned the two to come over and sit down for breakfast.
Xu Weiwei woke up too early and had no appetite, so she only drank a glass of blueberry juice. Seeing that she ate so little, Mrs. Sivers gave her a fried egg and a sausage and asked her to eat more.
McQueen said partially, "Forget it if you don't want to eat. Linlin has a private kitchen on the set. She can make whatever you want anytime."
Xu smiled and pushed the plate to his brother.
Kane took it without even looking up and finished it in two or three bites.
Mrs. Seaforth said helplessly: "You guys..."
