2/3 Chapter 4 I stood inside the bedroom door , my heart suddenly racing for no reason . Could Brennan possibly know that I was planning to sneak away ? Taking a deep breath , I eventually walked up to him and timidly said with my head down , Uncle , did you call for me ? Brennans face was flushed , indicating that he had a high fever . He frowned at me and took a moment before speaking , Why have you been so well behaved these past few days ? Did Brittany say something to you privately ? She is innocent minded and straightforward . Whatever she says , she must have your best interests at heart . She doesnt have any ill intentions towards you . I nodded gently and replied lightly , Uncle , I understood everything . Brennan was stunned for a few seconds and snorted coldly , Rare to see you return to your sensible self , and its even harder to hear you respectfully call me Uncle again! Marlene , you have grown up now , and I cant spoil you like I did when you were a child anymore ! The tone I used when scolding you last time was too harsh , and its understandable that you feel resentful ! But if you can be as well behaved in the future as you have been these past few days , I promise I wont shout at you any more ! So , please dont be mad at me anymore , okay ? I nodded obediently again . He stared at my eyes without saying a word , as if he wanted to see through me . I felt a little guilty and avoided his gaze . When my eyes fell on a delivery document and package on the sofa , I was startled . I urgently applied for a replacement of my ID card and it has been mailed ! But I clearly left my own phone number , how could Brennan have signed for it ? He seemed to have noticed my doubts and said with a heavy nasal voice , I happened to see the delivery arrive when I came back , so I helped you collect it . Brennan looked at me seriously and asked , Is this a document delivery ? Whats inside ? He picked up the file bag and handed it to me , indicating that I should open it in front of him . My hands were trembling with nervousness , and my mind was quickly thinking of the words to Chapter A 1/4 respond . At that moment , my phone rang , and it was a message from my best friend . She had only sent me a question mark . This is our commonly used opening phrase . I had a sudden inspiration and handed the phone to Brennan in front of his eyes , then quickly took it back . This is a bank credit card issued by my friend . She couldnt receive it conveniently while working part time to earn tuition fees , so she mailed it to me . You see , she just sent me a message asking if I could help her sign for it . Brennan was skeptical , so I had no choice but to fold the paper envelope in my hand a few times along the edges of the ID card inside . Believe it or not , its the bank card ! I sent a voice message to my sister in front of him . Your credit card was just signed for by Uncle a moment ago . You have a day off the day after tomorrow , so I will deliver it to you . The day after tomorrow happens to be the day I leave . My mentor has booked a flight for me on the morning of the day after tomorrow . My best friend knew my situation and also knew that I was going to leave . I sent a random tone message , and she instantly got my meaning and replied , You help me keep it safe , I mainly rely on it for next semesters living expenses ! Come to the dormitory to find me the day after tomorrow , lets have lunch together ! I responded with an OK hand gesture . Brennan finally believed me and got up , to go back to the bedroom to rest . I returned to the bedroom and realized that both of my legs had become weak . Fortunately , Brennan didnt come to me again . He seemed to be badly burned , and Brittany took him to the hospital at night . He did not come back until the next day . In the evening , I symbolically set him a message , inquiring about his health . But it was Brittany who replied with her phones voice message , Marlene , your uncle is fine , he concern ! will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow . He asked me to thank you for your 2/4 I slept particularly soundly that night because I was really going to leave here early tomorrow morning ! I had breakfast and then carried a bulging backpack on my shoulders , heading straight to the airport . As soon as I arrived at the airport , I saw my good sister who came to see me off , and we both burst into tears . Marlene , although I find it absurd that you would leave because of a terrible nightmare , I will support you unconditionally as long as you feel its right ! My mentor and senior colleagues were already waiting for me at the boarding gate when my phone rang . It was Brennan calling . I handed my phone to my sister and said , Its Uncles phone . Can you handle it for me ? I will contact you later with a new number . Ten minutes later , I finally boarded the plane .
