After that, Chris had fewer and fewer opportunities to go home for dinner. Anyway, he was not going to see Jack, or he had a new job, or he was going to have dinner with Watson again.Her life has returned to colorful.

This is also normal, a beautiful person with youth will never be lonely for too long, but Amy has no information about Amid.

Colin's reply said that Amid is in a very important place now, and the communication in that place is not working well, so she can't contact the outside world. She told Amy not to worry.As soon as Amid comes back, he will notify her immediately.

Amy knows that Amid is a capable man, so she is not very worried.She was more worried about Mary, who was getting thinner by the day.

But God is always merciful, and things finally turned around.It's just that such a turnaround is kind of bad and unexpected.

Amy got a call from Ken, Mary's youngest brother.

He told Amy on the phone that everything was over for him, he lost the lawsuit again, and his son didn't want to live with him.He is desperate now, and no one can tell.

Amy judged from his tone that he must be drunk, and he seemed to be crying and confiding.He seemed vulnerable and needed help.

Ken just made a celebratory phone call on the day Mary was released from prison, and he hasn't been in touch with Mary since then.I don't know why I called Amy.

Amy felt that he must have found a random phone call when his consciousness was relatively vague. Perhaps the stranger the person, the more suitable to listen to a person's distress.

People are like this, they are more willing to tell the stories in their hearts to strangers.Because they will listen without any prejudice and will not make unreasonable comments.

Amy felt that this matter should be told to Mary, although Ken had asked them not to disclose his current situation to Mary.He didn't want Mary to know his predicament.This may be due to his self-esteem as a man.

But he didn't understand that Mary was a person who urgently needed family affection, and her mental state was getting worse and worse.Amy was really afraid that one day she would lose control and do something stupid.

So she took the phone and went to find Mary.Mary was peeling chestnuts by hand on the balcony at that time, preparing to make a delicious chestnut soup for the evening.

"Mary, I have something very important to tell you."

Amy's expression was very serious, and Mary was a little surprised.

She said with concern: "What's the matter? Are you in any trouble? "

Amy shook her head, and she said, "It's not me, but your brother Ken is in trouble."

Amy told Mary everything she knew about Ken.After Mary heard it, she immediately wanted to meet Ken, even though he was far away in Texas.

"Oh, my poor Ken. He used to be a cheerful and lively child. He was a man of affection. I can imagine how wronged he must be. He could only lean against the fireplace and weep silently. He It's a little fragile."

Mary was very worried about Ken, and wished she could go to America to find him and comfort him.

Amy said she was willing to go with Mary, but she needed to tell Chris first.Then they set off.

Chris is now Mary's boss, because she hired Mary to be the housekeeper of the house, and she often needs to go out.She needs someone who can take care of the family at all times.And her salary is also very good.

At least Mary has no financial pressure, but as a housekeeper, there is basically no time for rest.Need to ask for leave to go out.

At night, Chris saw Amy and Mary sitting in the living room waiting for her.

She was a little taken aback.

"Honey, what are you doing here? You haven't slept so late? Do you want to come to a party with me? Not today, I have an important interview tomorrow morning."

Chris smiled and stepped forward to give them a kiss.

Amy said, "Mary may be taking a long vacation with you. She wants to go to her brother Ken."

Chris looked at them in surprise.

Amy told her too.Chris hesitated for a while and said: "I have no opinion. But I don't know if it's safe for you to go like this? Ken is a grown man. He was just drunk for a while, maybe he can figure it out the next day Yes. After all, his children are already so old, even if he asks for custody, he can only manage his son for a few years."

Chris felt that they had gone so far in the past just because Ken got drunk once, so it was a bit of a fuss.

"I've decided, Chris, I really want to go. I'm leaving tomorrow. Goodnight."

After Mary returned to the room, Amy took Chris to her room to talk.

"You should support her, Chris."

Chris took off his coat, she looked puzzled.It's not a big deal, what is there to worry about when a grown man is drunk?
"You don't know, during this period of time, Mary's mental state is very poor. I often see that she needs to take sleeping pills to sleep. During the day, she is in a daze except for doing things. There is not much pleasant atmosphere on her. Don't you see Won't you come out?"

"Really? Why do I think she seems to be okay."

Chris was surprised, because every day when she went out, Mary said goodbye to her happily.When returning home, Mary also prepared delicious food.

"That's because you don't have time to stay at home and get along with her. She needs a relative, she needs a blood relationship. The matter between you and Watson has stimulated her, making her think that she will never have any in her life. With a partner, she is doomed to die alone. She becomes very depressed. Once the desire to survive weakens, she may do some stupid things."

Amy's words enlightened Chris.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, then I will drive you to the airport tomorrow, and it doesn't matter how long you stay with Ken."

The next morning, Chris sent Mary a bouquet of flowers.

"Good luck to you and Ken."

"Thanks, Chris." Mary hugged her.

Amy and Mary flew to America and went to Ken's house.

Amy still remembered Ken's address, looked for it directly, and knocked on the door.

After 1 minute, there was no movement in the room.

Mary was a little nervous, but also a little hopeful.

After the door opened, a sleepy face appeared in front of them.

"Miss Amy? Mary? Are you Mary?"

Mary stepped forward and hugged Ken.

After not seeing him for many years, she found that Ken had also matured, wrinkles began to appear on his face, and there were signs of aging.

Mary sat in the room. She observed the environment and saw the scattered clothes in the room, the leftover bread on the table, and the dust on the furniture at home.She knew that the younger brother's life was really not very good.

Ken poured them coffee.

Mary got up and started cleaning.

"Mary, what are you doing?" Ken immediately stepped forward to stop her.

Mary didn't stop what she was doing, she told Ken that as his older sister, she must now start to perform what a older sister needs to do.

She's going to take care of Ken and help him through.

After this, Mary spent a month living with Ken exclusively, taking care of his diet and daily life, and even began to help him how to deal with the relationship with the children.

Because of Mary's arrival, Ken's ex-wife also came out to have a meal with her.

They had visited Mary when they got married, and Mary had their wedding picture.

"It's been many years, it really happened many years ago." The ex-wife said with emotion.When she met Mary, it brought back many memories of her past.

She had heard from Ken that Mary was his closest sister, but because of an accident, she unfortunately went to jail.

"Are you okay?" Mary looked at Ken's ex-wife, and she smiled and said, "You are still so beautiful, and you haven't changed much in all these years."

"Thank you, Sister Mary, we have let you down. I haven't seen you often for so many years." The ex-wife is a kind woman. She used to be a weak wife and mother, but after so many years, she has become strong and knows How to choose your own life.

For Ken, she no longer has feelings, and the trivialities of life have erased a lot of things. Even if some memories are still good, they are old and can never go back.She has a new life, a new family, and a new baby.

Ken was just a part of her life, a past.Now she loves her husband and enjoys the warmth of her family.Although she can also understand Ken's obsession and love for children.

But she has a very clear mind that children are not suitable to live with Ken, at least when they were young.Now that the children have grown up, what they think about all day long is not to choose a father at all, but to want to be independent and live on their own.

They are not ignorant children now, but Ken always thought they were still children.

The three chatted with each other about some topics, as well as some recent news.

It's just that no one mentioned the lawsuit that Ken fought with his ex-wife a few days ago, because no one wanted to destroy the peace of all this.

After dinner, everyone hugged each other and said goodbye.

Ken watched his ex-wife leave, his reluctant eyes were always on his ex-wife's car.Knowing that the car disappeared at the end of the field of vision.

Mary patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ken, the most important thing for a person is to learn to let go. And control your emotions."

"But I can't do it. I haven't been able to enter a real relationship for so many years. I have been in love several times before, but I can't go through it once."

Ken was lying on the steering wheel with a lonely expression.

Mary hugged him and said, "Don't be discouraged, it's because you haven't met the right person yet. Besides, you need to make a little effort yourself. Waiting can't change your life. You need courage to make a change. Instead of Blame God and others."

Ken shook his head and said, "What else do I need to change. I can't change anything in my life. I have no youth and no chance."
