The surprise Bruce mentioned was Lily, which was really a big surprise to Polly.
In the past, she was afraid that those who chased money would target at her sister who knew nothing. It was not 100 percent safe even if she lived in aunt's house. She was thinking about taking her to her side.
Good. As she thought, Bruce had done what he should have done for her.
She was half relieved.
She said to him gratefully, "thank you."
"How are you going to thank me?"
His words brought a warm flush to her face. "What do you want me to thank you for?"
A bright smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He said quickly, "well, I haven't decided yet. I will tell you when I think of it. By then, do you will cheat me? "
She muttered, "You cheat me always."
Bruce was a smart boy. He heard what she said in a low voice. He moved closer to her and said, "you said that, which makes me feel that you have a deeper understanding of me."
The woman with Lily was Autism specialist he hired for her. She is a Chinese half of the country and her father is Chinese. She used her father's surname and her Chinese name is Carmen Dong.
"Mr. He and Miss Han, I have observed Miss Lily for a whole day, and I think that she's better now. However, special treatment was required. It required experts in the hospital to make a special treatment for her. Besides, she must change the treatment according to the condition. Obviously, it is inappropriate for you to stay at home. "
Carmen Dong put forward her suggestion seriously.
"The earlier the treatment, the better the effect would be. Miss Lily s about sixteen years old. Even if the treatment is too late, if the delay is delayed, she may end up like this for her whole life."
As a matter of fact, she had her own reason for her worry about Lily. A few years ago, a doctor persuaded her parents to take Lily away for treatment. But after one and a half years of treatment, not only did her family's money wasted, but her condition was not as good as before.
Perhaps she had noticed the hesitation of Polly, so she didn't insist, "Mr. He, Miss Han, please take your time to think about it. If you have decided, you can tell me at any time. But, the sooner the better. "
After Carmen left, Bruce asked, "Polly, are you reluctant to send Lily abroad?"
"Yes. Lily has never been so far away so I'm afraid that she will be afraid. If I and my parents weren't here, she would be scared. But she didn't tell us. She won't tell us. Only we know her fear! " Even though she got autism and closed the door to feel the outside world, she still felt scared.
"If this is the case, you don't have to worry too much. We have found some clues about your parents." When Bruce noticed the surprised look in Polly's eyes, he gently patted her on the back to comfort her. "By that time, they can go together with Lily."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Polly received a call from Selina.
"Mom, where are you and dad now? Are you okay? " "Could you please tell me?".
"Dear Polly, your father and I are good. Don't worry." Selina's voice choked with sobs, "how about you? Did those people cause you any trouble? "
"No, I'm not!"
If it weren't for Bruce who had dealt with the matter in time, none of those men would have made any response.
"And, mom, I'll bring Lily here. We are fine now! "
"You picked up Lily? From aunt? "
"Yes! Lily was fine at aunt's home, but aunt is getting old and even has to take care of grandson, so it's not convenient for her to live in aunt's house, so I picked her up! Now, both of us are good. "
It was Bruce who picked up Lily, but she didn't know where she picked her up. She couldn't tell anyone about this, or her parents would be worried.
"I was really surprised to receive her call that day. However, later, something happened about liver. At that time, we was blinded and couldn't think whether it was true or not. Now when I think about it, even if it's really Henry who is lying in the ICU, he may not necessarily want your liver. "
That was true.
"Dear Polly, you must be careful and sinister. And don't blame me for speaking too much. People at your age are easily fooled by men. Mr. he whom we met last time is really nice. Don't think that I'm too old to fall behind in love. You are smart. You know clearly who treats you well. "
All of a sudden, their topic shifted to Bruce and her.
"Dear Polly. Although there are many people in our country, it's not easy to meet a good man. I know what you are thinking, but we are ordinary people. Those wonderful things are just like the sun. We can only look at far away, and get hurt if we are too close. So many years have passed, but you have been chasing the sun all the time. You are too tired. Good boy, listen to me. It's time to put it down. Don't think about what you shouldn't have anymore. "
She knew that long ago, but she just couldn't forget him.
"Dear Polly!" Bruce was holding a glass of freshly made lemon juice, the light gold in the transparent glass swayed with his movements, like a full moon reflected in the cold lake at night.
"I heard that you like drinking lemonade, so I made it for you. Do you want to have a taste?"
Polly took over the cup that still kept his temperature, and the light flavor of lemon floated out. After she was lost in thought for a while, she suddenly shook her head and pushed the glass to his hand. She smiled, "actually, I like orange juice most. I will never drink lemonade again. "
She liked lemon, once for a person.
Bruce was stunned for a moment, and then his dark eyes were like grassland, bright and pure. He immediately picked up the cup and said to her with a smile, "I just bought a lemon today and some oranges by the way. Do you mind waiting a little longer? "
"I don't mind." Polly stood up and walked to him, "I'll go with you. What would you like to drink, Bruce? "
The cup in his hand fell to the ground, and the lemon sweet spread in the air.
Polly smiled bitterly. That was the taste of life.
