Chapter 123 - 38: I’ve started to like this woman_3
Looking at the time, it was already early morning, Lin Miao originally planned to wait until daylight tomorrow to make a decision.
Unexpectedly, the target mission came knocking on the door.
Knock knock knock...
The door was knocked.
Unforeseen, it was Gloria outside the door, still wearing that yellow company jacket. Lin Miao invited her in, and the two sat on the sofa. Gloria once again thanked Lin Miao.
"Mr. Lin, I’ve heard from David about today’s events. Really, this child’s matters have troubled you again."
This time, Lin Miao didn’t pour her a drink but rather a glass of purified water. After all, late at night, being drunk makes things hard to explain. Deepening the relationship without adequate mental preparation on either side would only make matters worse.
"It’s just a small matter between adults and the kid having a heart-to-heart. David has high talents that shouldn’t be wasted on meaningless things."
Gloria held the water cup in her hand without drinking and solemnly said,
"No, this matter is very important to me. David’s admiration for those mercenary lone wolves truly scares me. In my rescue work at REO, almost every day I have to treat or collect bodies of these lone wolves or gang members. Some are around David’s age, yet I have to dismantle their cybernetic bodies. Many kids die without ever seeing their parents again...."
"Back then... haha... I was pregnant with David for 277 days, going to work with a big belly as usual. In that emergency rescue, I connected a gang member’s severed arm, but just then, my water broke, ending with me on a stretcher giving birth to David, that gang thug used a mantis blade to cut the umbilical cord for me....."
"I am really scared, scared that one day on an ambulance I’ll see David again, lying bloody on a folding stretcher. Ensuring this child studies well, has a prosperous life in the company, and makes a name for himself in the future is my greatest hope to keep living, no matter how hard or tired I am willing to endure...."
