Chapter 89: Little Bear messed up... Even though he didn't...
Screwed it...
Although her blood was not being sucked, Mary felt extremely tired.
After being busy all night, Kaz not only did not relax, but became more vigilant.
She was not good at playing with people's hearts, and as expected, she fell flat on her face.
If Fani was by her side, making a plan for her... Stop, don't think about him.
Mary sighed silently, walked back slowly, and bought a pizza for her breakfast.
Holding the steaming food fresh from the oven in her hands, Mary sat casually on a bench on the street and began to eat breakfast. The rich tomato flavor and the shredded cheese effectively relieved her fatigue. Mary felt that her terrible mood was slowly recovering.
Now that things have come to this, there is no need to think too much.
Staring directly at the winter sun, Mary's eyes, which had not been closed for a long time, began to feel sore. She rubbed her increasingly heavy eyelids, and when she returned to the hotel and saw that Kaz was still sitting in the street rest room, she thought for a few seconds, decisively clutched the wallet in her pocket, and fell into a light sleep.
Mary didn't know how long it had been, but she felt something leaning against her, its warm breath spraying on her wrist and licking it gently.
Feeling that the other party had no murderous intent, Mary slowly opened her eyes, only to see Jello's horse Valkyrie blinking her black grape-like eyes and looking at her gently.
Jero stood beside the horse, his eyes red and his hair disheveled, a look that showed he hadn't slept all night. Even so, his appearance didn't diminish in the slightest, instead, it took on a more mature charm.
He looked at Mary with a hesitant expression. He raised the corner of his mouth, then suddenly lowered it, making his face look very strange.
For a moment, the two of them didn't say anything, just looked at each other awkwardly.
"you……"
"you……"
They both spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.
Mary looked at Jero, whose lips were pale, and patted the empty seat beside her: "Sit down first, you look like you need a rest."
"Oh... um." As Jello came over, he smoothed his hair with his hands to make himself look less unkempt.
He sat down beside Mary, pulled her arm over, and touched the torn sleeve, as if he were stroking a wound he hadn't seen. "You're really the one who got hurt... What happened last night? I went looking for you last night, only to find that your room was destroyed and you were nowhere to be found."
Mary pulled her hand back. After realizing that Jello was unwilling to leave with her, she no longer wanted to be so close to Jello, otherwise she would feel very sad after she left.
"Who else can hurt me except Zhu Ren? He is really a troublesome and difficult guy." Mary felt depressed when she thought that all her reasons were blocked by Kaz.
To avoid getting angry again, Mary changed the question: "What happened to you?"
"Hehe..." Jero laughed sinisterly. "Go ask your 'good brother' what's going on. He deliberately took me around in circles last night and made me dizzy. He's such a sticky guy that I can't get rid of him. If I weren't smart, he'd still be chasing me around! If that guy wasn't your...brother, I'd definitely beat him up."
Well done, Blackmoa.
Mary was glad that Jello didn't find her last night, otherwise things would have been more troublesome.
Jello looked at the bruises under Mary's eyes and thought of her sleeping curled up in a chair. He felt so uncomfortable that he made a mental bet. If he hadn't been so stubborn, the situation wouldn't be what it is now.
"And then?" Mary yawned and asked with little interest, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back."
The time she had slept was too short. Not only did it not wake her up, it made her even more sleepy.
Jello grabbed her hand again, and this time, he crossed the line and inserted his fingers between Mary's fingers, and their hands were clasped together.
"Hmm?" Mary felt her fingers getting hot. She wanted to pull away uncomfortably, but stopped when she saw Jello's expression.
"You're right, Mary."
"Um?"
"I thought everything was too simple." Jero took a breath, the depression and irritation still lingering on his face. "I always thought it would be difficult to persuade my father to take my family with him... But when I saw the blood on your bed and wondered if you were dead or alive, I realized that the current difficulties were nothing compared to the real danger."
"Because I've never experienced it before, I'm so clueless and don't know how real your words really were. Your wounds will heal... but what about my family? If they had suffered the same injuries, they'd probably have had their limbs amputated and be disabled for the rest of their lives."
Mary originally thought that things had reached a dead end, but seeing Jello's current appearance, she finally felt that there was a turning point.
She felt a bit confused. Kaz racked her brains, but the other party still refused to fall for her trick. On Jello's side, she did nothing, but the other party just let it go.
"You... decided to leave?" Mary asked cautiously.
"Yes." Jero rubbed his eyes, forcing himself to wake up. "Don't worry about it for now, let's go somewhere else to hide. That guy's ultimate goal is redstone, so he probably won't come to cause trouble for us. It depends on whether it's convenient for him. If we run away, he probably won't waste time looking for us."
After figuring things out, Jello let go of all the considerations and worries in his mind, and his mood became lighter, which also made Mary feel relieved.
The day of departure was approaching, and Jello's escape greatly increased the safety factor and greatly reduced the risk of death. She also fulfilled her promise to Johnny and could return on time.
Yesterday's struggle finally paid off. A smile finally appeared in Mary's eyes. She patted Jero on the shoulder and said, "Wherever your family is, that's your home. Your family's medical skills are so great that you can be successful no matter where you are."
"That's right!" Jero Zeppeli was most proud of his family's iron ball technology and medical skills. When he heard Mary praising him, he accepted the compliment generously and smiled with great satisfaction.
After laughing a few times, they fell silent again.
The next topic would be a bit heavier, and no one wanted to speak first.
They just sat on the bench, watching the people coming and going. For many people, this was just an ordinary day, but in this era of underdeveloped transportation, Mary and Jello were so far apart, it was very likely that this was the last time they would see each other in their lives.
"How long do you plan to be away?" It was Jello who spoke before, but this time Mary chose to break the silence first.
"I don't know," Jello said. "It could be quick or slow, depending on how I convince my dad. If he agrees, we can pack up right away, use our connections to rent a big boat, and leave. If he wants to consider it, then we'll have to wait."
"Why do you listen to your father so much?" Mary frowned. She felt that Jello was not talking about her father, but more like an autocratic king.
Jello scratched the back of his head, unsure how to answer Mary's question. "Because...my father's decisions are basically always correct. Even though I hate this kind of correctness, I know it has to be this way."
Mary was almost confused by this series of correct answers, but Jello, on the other hand, was able to think clearly and speak fluently.
"Actually... I've always wanted to be like my father, but I could never do it. Whether he was an executioner or a doctor, he dedicated himself to his craft, becoming a leader in his field. He could face any crisis calmly and resolve it quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly."
"As a doctor and executioner, he faced countless negative emotions, but he never vented any of his pain on us. It's not that he was emotionless; he simply kept the pain to himself. Because I walked the same path as him, I can understand and admire him."
Mary still didn't quite understand why Jello admired his father, but since Jello said so, she could only nod and pass it over.
"Then... can you tell me now where you're going back to?" Jello asked carefully. Before Mary could say anything, he quickly explained, "You have to believe me. I'm really not trying to trick you or anything like that!"
Where are you going?
Mary really doesn't know
According to the current situation, she would definitely go back to Johnny, but she would definitely not stay for long.
She knew too well what kind of man Fanny Valentine was. He had promised to give her the body, most likely just to give her a map and let her explore it on her own.
If Jello came all the way to find her but found nothing, she would feel so guilty. Or maybe she wouldn't feel guilty because she didn't even know Jello had come to see her.
Jello considered her thoughts as a tactful rejection, but this not only did not make Jello back down from his idea, but made him even more determined.
He suddenly pulled out a colorful little thing from the back of his waist bag and handed it to Mary. Mary looked closely and could barely make out the outline of a little bear.
One of its ears is larger than the other, and its face is so chubby that it looks like it's about to burst with cotton. Its body, on the other hand, looks thin and skinny, like a malnourished mushroom.
There are many pieces of fabric of different colors sewn on its body, making it look so dazzling that people want to look away.
The little bear himself had no idea that he was the strangest and most unique little bear in the world. He was smiling at Mary with his tongue sticking out, and his dark button eyes reminded people of Jello for no reason.
"The fabrics on the little bear...are all from my clothes from childhood to adulthood." Jello stuffed the little bear into Mary's hand without hesitation. "I hope it carries my memories of the past and stays with you forever."
He licked his lips and, at the most inappropriate time, said what he wanted to say most: "I like you, Mary."
