Chapter 13
I don't know what's wrong with my father. Thea felt that the answer was quite in line with his mind. After all, it was just those few questions that were arranged and combined. After thinking about it for a month, the answer should be perfect. As for why his old man Turned his head and ran, maybe to show himself a sense of mystery? I called my family and asked them to come pick me up. By the way, I took away the two bodyguards who were sleeping on the ground. I had to replace them next time. Can I save my life if I don't learn martial arts with such a poor quality!
Thea didn't know that her words had caused at least a thousand points of damage to her father, and ran to the distance to take off the mask. Malcolm gasped heavily, remembering how high-spirited he was when he was young, and how he beat him when his deceased wife was dying. On the phone, tears flowed uncontrollably. At the beginning, I only knew how to make money and thought that money could bring me everything. If there was a conscious wife like Thea in those days, she would not leave me.
I stumbled back to Merlin's old house, locked myself in my room and held my wife's photo album for a night in silence. After dawn, I asked the housekeeper to know that Tommy still hadn't come home, and now I'm too lazy to care about him, let him go for a while. time.
He took out a box from the bedroom safe and kicked it in his arms. He got in the car and told the driver to go to the Quinn Group. all cooked.
Hey, Thea. Malcolm approached and greeted softly.
Thea in the desk was burying her head in writing a document when she heard someone coming in and thought it was a clerk, but didn't care. But he immediately realized that the sound was wrong, and when he looked up, he noticed that the middle-aged man in front of him was looking at him with hot eyes.
You... why are you here? Although he had just met last night, he thought he didn't know, and he had to pretend he didn't know. This should be the first meeting after the exposure that day, at least the first meeting of this vest.
Can you accompany me out for a cup of coffee, I want to have a good chat with you. Malcolm said earnestly.
Thea also wanted to chat with him to see if he could resolve his hatred of the ghetto. Maybe he could solve it a little more so he wouldn't have to fight with Oliver. A brother and a father are all his close relatives.
Nodding at the moment, the two walked out of the building, found a coffee shop and ordered two cups to start a long talk.
You know what, kid, you're very much like my wife, just as smart, young and energetic. It's funny I suspect you're my wife's baby, and Tommy's Moira's, you look so much like She's gone. Malcolm said seriously looking into Thea's eyes.
Thea said in her heart, let's talk, it must be that last night's words had some influence on him, making him feel that his figure and his deceased wife had merged to a certain extent, which is also considered a crooked fight.
That's not what you said in the original book. In the original plot, you said that I am a born warrior. Listen to this, is this a good thing for a father to say to his daughter! This is too unspeakable, no wonder the daughter-in-law has been a bachelor after her death.
Can you tell me about her? I've only seen her photos from Tommy... It must be right to do what she likes. Anyway, Thea is too lazy to go back to work today, and Moira has a lot of eyes and ears. We should know the reason, we have nothing to do, this is all working hours, and there are not many people in the cafe, so let’s chat!
We met on the train, when she was... Malcolm has never said these words since his wife's death. It is rare that someone is willing to listen to him today, and he said it from the first meeting. When he got up, he didn't think too much about discussing with the illegitimate daughter whether there was some logical confusion in the main room.
At that time, she was running a free clinic in a slum, and she was robbed by homeless people on her way from get off work. She didn't have any grudges, just for a few hundred dollars! She fell in a pool of blood and called me three times for help, but unfortunately I was sulking and didn't answer the phone at all. , I planned to pick her up someday! I hate myself so much! Malcolm said while slamming the coffee table,
Obviously, this matter has been holding back in his mind for a long time.
Thea also felt a little empathy at this time. Is Tommy's mother a good person? Good guy for sure, just fate playing a joke on her, if she had the power this wouldn't have happened. Thea is more and more sure that the path she chooses is right. It is too difficult for a woman to live in this chaotic world, and she must have her own strength to protect herself.
Gently patted Malcolm's hand, She is so kind, I believe she will forgive you, Dad... The voice was soft like a mosquito's chirping. But seeing him in so much pain, I still want to comfort him.
Malcolm was also shocked by the word, and the ecstasy on his face lasted for a while and quickly faded, stroking Thea's hair child, I know you're sympathizing with me, it doesn't matter if you admit it, I'm very happy Now, you don't need to recognize me as a father, you will always be Thea Quinn, there are your family, your friends, and everything that belongs to you, I will only support you in silence to protect you, I will not let you Anyone hurt you!
This is exactly what Thea wants. If she changes her surname to Merlin, the Quinn Group will have no inheritance rights, and she has to go to fight with Tommy for the property. It is too troublesome. Now it is best to have two children alone. A promise from a rude parent.
Malcolm took out a box and put it in Thea's hand, This is what I gave to my wife at the beginning, and I give it to you today. I hope its light will continue to lead our way forward. After finishing, he got up and left the coffee shop.
Thea opened the box and found that it was a very delicate necklace. There was a sky blue gem hanging on a silver chain. As the gem swayed, a soft lake light flashed. There were a few inscriptions on the inside of the chain, the word Thea. I don't know, this doesn't seem to be a modern thing?
The original plan to persuade Malcolm to let go of the ghetto left without talking about him at all. He seems to have avoided this topic consciously. This is his heart knot, how can he enlighten him?
Maybe it's time to ask Batman? His experience is also very similar to Malcolm's, except that his parents died when he was a child, and his last mental journey let go of hatred. After thinking about it, he quickly gave up the idea. Batman was too smart and too dark. He is a character who claims to be able to solve 90% of heroes and villains with intelligence and technological weapons. Yes, he is even on guard against righteous heroes. He has a lot of secrets, so stay away from him.
Can you only slowly use affection? It has only been less than six years, and Malcolm at this moment is not a big boss in Thea's heart, but just a poor man who avenged his dead wife.
