Chapter 217

“Those friends need money, too.

If I don’t have money, they won’t necessarily be my friends, just like you, you know?”

The patient babbled.

"I see."

Paradise answered.

"Is there anything else you need my help with? Feel free to tell me. I have nothing to do anyway, so it's good for my other friends to help each other."

The patient asked.

"I want to find out about someone who is my friend. Can you help me with that?"

Paradise asked.

"Okay, tell me. What's the person's name and where is he? At least give me a rough estimate, otherwise I won't be able to find him no matter how hard I try."

The patient asked.

"He's probably crazy too. He's in another mental hospital, probably some distance away from me. He looks like a young man approaching middle age, and his family is fairly wealthy."

Leyuan told all the information he knew.

"If that's the case, I'll have someone look for it, but is there anything else?"

The patient asked.

"That man had been on the same ship as me, and it was because of an accident on that ship that we were hospitalized.

So you can help me find out about the cruise ship accident and where the survivors on the ship went after the accident, and maybe we can find him."

Paradise analysis answers.

"So that's how it is. I see. I'll go look for it. I'll have someone look for it later. Do you have anything else to say?"

The patient asked.

"Remember to eat, go to bed early, don't play too long, check your money when you're online, and if you don't have enough balance, you can call me and I might answer.

But I may have more things to do than you. I am looking for a job recently, but the job may not be for me, so I don’t know where to wander around, or how long to wander around.

If I were down and out, I would ask you for money. And I don't know where my money went. I remember that I still had some money before.

But when I went to look for it, it was gone. I didn't know if it was stolen or robbed. I also thought about following the money trail to find out who transferred the money, but I couldn't find it.

I thought, forget it, at worst I can find some new money, money is something you can’t take with you when you die, if something goes wrong again, I will lose the money I worked so hard to earn, I will collapse.”

Paradise said.

"I didn't realize you cared about me so much. You have a lot on your plate. I will understand you.

I will also call you when I have time. If you don't answer, I will remember the number. If you answer, I will ask someone else to remember the number. Let's continue to be good friends in the future, okay?

I have many good friends outside the hospital. Congratulations on becoming one of them."

The patient said.

"Good."

Paradise smiled.

Then they talked about other things, such as what you ate today, when you are going to bed, what games you played, what videos you saw, etc.

The call was disconnected.

Suddenly, the whole world in the park had the illusion of falling into silence.

He stood in front of the phone for a moment, then turned and left.

He looked for a job everywhere, but no one wanted him. One reason was that he did not have a high level of education, and the other was that they saw his medical records after he was discharged from a mental hospital.

He didn't force it. He just felt that those people didn't want him to work but kept talking nonsense in front of him, which was annoying and a waste of his time.

There are also some recruiters who, although they didn't say a bunch of nonsense to him and waste his time, would ask him to write various personal information, and after reading it, they would ask him a few questions and then tell him to get out.

That's quite annoying. It feels like someone is just picking on you because they have nothing better to do. It's quite unpleasant.

At such times, Paradise will try to make a phone call to find the patient.

The patient would tell him a few jokes on the phone and then say, "I have some money here that I can lend you. Take it and tell me if it's not enough."

The amusement park sometimes spends a lot of money, so the money it gets is quickly used up. He will then call the patients, and the patients will complain that he has spent too much while giving him some more money.

"If you continue like this, I won't be able to support you anymore. I have so many friends to support."

Patients sometimes complain about Paradise over the phone.

"Then I won't call you or ask you for money anymore, okay?"

Paradise asked with a laugh.

"Forget it then. I don't mind if you keep calling me and asking me for money. I think there has been some progress in your case. Do you remember the friend you asked me to find last time?"

The patient asked.

"Remember, you found him?"

Paradise asked.

"My friend has found news about him. You can follow the news and see if he is there."

The patient replied.

"Then tell me the news and I'll go find him. I hope he's not as poor as I am. Otherwise, we might all starve to death. But I have a friend like you, so I won't starve to death for the time being.

It's not certain for him, how pitiful."

Paradise muttered.

“It’s quite funny.

You can also let him be my friend, so that it will be legitimate for me to give him money.

But if he is also your friend, I don't think he would be willing to accept my money in front of you.

Because he might think that he gets my money because of your relationship. No matter it is family, love or friendship, three people are always a bit crowded, especially when we are so close.

You two are closer than I am. If you have any jokes, tell me so I can tell them to my other friends.”

The patient said.

"knew."

Paradise answered.

"Then I wish you to find him as soon as possible."

The patient was in high spirits, and his tone revealed the excitement of waiting to see a good show.

After Leyuan got the information about the car owner from the patient, he responded and hung up the phone.

He went to look for someone according to the news and found the owner of the car, who was withdrawing money.

Paradise sat on a public bench not far from the bank entrance.

People passing by looked at him strangely.

The car owner finally came out of the bank.

"I thought I would never see you again.

When I was in the hospital, they all said that my condition was more serious than mine, and I always wanted to get out as soon as possible.

I didn't expect that after I came out, I heard that you got the news earlier than me. That means your condition should be milder than mine.

They lied to me again, it's disgusting."

The car owner waved to Paradise. Although they had not seen each other for a long time, his attitude seemed familiar, as if they had only separated for lunch.

"I thought you were going to say that I showed up when you were collecting your money because I was trying to steal it."

Rakuen stood up and answered.

"I have nothing to gain except money. Besides, we were at least friends before, and you were admitted to the hospital because of me.

Even if you ask me for money, I won’t say no, okay.”

The car owner put his arm around Leyuan's shoulder and led him to the restaurant next door.

"Let's go eat something. It's too cold if we eat alone. Maybe it will be warmer if we eat with two people. Even the food will be hot."

The owner was not polite.

Rakuen nodded.

The car owner ordered the meal and handed the menu to Leyuan. Leyuan took a look at it, ordered a set meal, and returned the menu to the waiter.

"I thought you would be very hungry, but you didn't look hungry for long. You even ate a lot. Who gave you the money?"

The car owner asked curiously.

"I have a friend in the hospital, and I was able to find you because of the information he gave me."

Paradise answered.

"Then you really have to thank your friend."

The car owner nodded, thanked the waiter who brought the food, moved the food to the table, and divided it into two portions, one for himself and one for Paradise.

"Did he figure it out?"

The car owner asked about the paradise.

"He said he didn't want to."

Paradise answered.

"Is there anything we can do for him?"

The car owner asked.

"He would be happy if you were willing to be his friend."

Paradise answered.

"So he likes making friends. That's great. I'll call him some other day."

The car owner unwrapped the burger, nodded, and took a sip of Coke.

The ice cubes in the Coke cup collided with each other, making a refreshing sound.

"I don't know if you like the smell here, but do you remember the school you went to before you went on the cruise? They called me after I got out and said your leave was about to expire.

Ask me if you still want to go back?

If you want to go back, they will reserve your study qualifications. You can study for a while and then take the exam. After the exam, you can get the certificate and go to work.

In theory or according to regulations, schools will provide jobs for students who graduate and obtain certificates, but this is all theoretical. There is always a difference between theory and reality, and it is hard to say for sure.

If they can't give you a job, I can give you a job.

After all, I was in the hospital, not in prison."

The car owner was crunching the meat patty in his burger.

The bread crumbs on the surface of the meat pie are golden yellow, full of the aroma of fat, and a little crispy. The inside is covered with overflowing gravy, which is tempting and very delicious.

“If I get a job after I get the certificate, I can go, but I can’t guarantee that I will stay in the job for a long time.

You know it's impossible for me to stay anywhere for a long time in my situation. For example, the sudden situation before was not something you and I could predict, so it's not my fault.

Yes or no?"

Paradise asked.

He gulped down a sip of the drink in the cup beside him and found that it was orange, similar to Fanta sparkling water.

And there are also ice cubes.

Part of the ice cube melted, and the tiny ice cube quickly rose from the straw, broke into pieces with a snap between his teeth, and then slid into his throat, like mint ice flakes, very refreshing.

A gust of wind blew over and the park shivered. It felt like the temperature had dropped drastically compared to before, a sign that winter was about to come.

The owner smiled and said, “I know.”

He paused, distractedly poking the chicken nuggets with a toothpick.
