Chapter 443 - Destiny（1）

**

March came with a big temperature difference between day and night. At this time, many people had caught a cold and coughed, causing a new round of influenza. Radio, broadcast, weather forecasts, and other media were urging people to keep warm. Passersby wearing masks were all over the streets. They were in a hurry, keeping a long distance from others, fearing that they would be infected with this damned influenza.

Probably because he worked in the hospital for a long time, Collin, who had never been ill, also caught a cold. The chief doctor ordered Collin to take two bottles of drips a day. He was worried that Collin would only take medicine when he returned home. He even specially assigned a nurse to watch Collin take the drips before leaving.

As a result, Collin was forced to sit in a crowd of people. But he fell asleep deeply. When he woke up, the people beside him changed. This time, it was a young woman.

Collin didn't want to notice her. It was because she was too eye-catching. Most of the people who came here to take drips had a companion. They either handed over milk tea or poured water or gave hand warmer to warm the patients' hands. At least the patients could rest on their shoulders. Some even peeled sunflower seeds and chatted with them.

Only this woman was holding a computer in front of her. Her one hand was injected, while the other hand typed non-stop on the computer.

Collin tilted his head to look at her. She wore glasses and looked thin. Her fingers were very long and her ring finger was wearing a ring. It was not a diamond ring. Its smooth body had a curved arc, like a Mobius ring.

At this time, her phone rang.

Collin saw this woman take out a dumbphone and said, "Yeah, I know. It's almost time. Wait a moment."

Her voice was not very soft. It was like Jess Glynne's smoky voice. It was rustling and very sexy.

These days, how could such a young woman use a dumbphone?

Collin mentioned this when he replied to Jaquan's message.

Doctor Mueller texted, "I saw a woman using a dumbphone. She was quite young, plain-looking, and her voice was similar to Jess Glynne's."

Jaquan replied, "It's exactly what you want. Hurry up and take her to buy a smartphone."

Doctor Mueller: "Do I look so idle?"

Jaquan replied, "Then why do you looking for me if you're not idle?"

Jaquan sent a middle finger meme.

Collin thought for a moment and found he was indeed idle. He put his phone in his pocket and ignored Jaquan.

On the other side, Jaquan was still in City Y these past few days. He and Emma came for the memorial service of Emily's father, Maury. Later, Stony had a stomach problem and they stayed at City Y for a few days.

During those few days, Allen and Felice followed Stony all day long, leaving Deon and Bernice with nothing to do. Thus, Deon and Bernice returned to the hotel, while Jaquan took Emma out for a few days.

In the past, when he was with Arabella, Jaquan always tried to find a topic. Later, he almost forgot what kind of people and scenery he saw when he strolled with Arabella.

Emma did not like strolling during the day. The environment when she was young made her very unaccustomed to staying in places where there were many people. Only unfamiliar places and dark environments could give her a slight sense of security.

They walked after sunset. Behind them were neon lights flashing. In front of them was a noisy crowd. At the busy intersection, Jaquan held her in his arms and kissed her.

This was their first real date. Jaquan just took her around the streets and stopped when they encountered something interesting. They stared at it together. Although their behavior was very childish, they often smiled at each other.

Emma pointed to the front and pursed her lips, "I bought a roasted sweet potato there. I didn't pay for it and ran away..."

Jaquan was quite surprised, "You actually did this before?"

"I rebelled for one night." Emma lowered her head and walked forward, whispering, "It was that night that I met you."

Behind her, Jaquan froze. Emma waited for a while and turned around a little embarrassedly, "You..."

Before she could finish, Jaquan walked in front of the woman who was selling roasted sweet potatoes. He reached out and took two roasted sweet potatoes. Then, he ran in her direction and shouted, "Run! I didn't pay!"

Emma was shocked. Seeing the woman rushing in her direction, she quickly followed Jaquan. She ran while laughing. Finally, they stopped and leaned against the wall, and gasped for breath.

Jaquan handed the sweet potatoes to her. Because of the strength, the sweet potatoes had been crushed into two halves, and half of them had fallen off halfway.

Emma took a bite, turned her head to the wall, and laughed.

Jaquan also took a bite and couldn't help but laugh as he ate. "It's really exciting."

The sweet potatoes were very sweet. Emma still laughed. Jaquan finished eating and found a tissue to wipe his hands. He then turned her around and said, "Is it so funny? Let's do it again?"

This was probably the first time Emma had laughed so fiercely. Her eyes were red. On this starry night, the red looked attractive under the dim street lights.

Jaquan placed his hands on both sides of her cheeks and lowered his head to kiss her.

The woman who sold roasted sweet potatoes chased after them and finally saw them. She pointed at them and shouted loudly, "That's it! Ten for... two roasted... sweet potatoes...Hurry up and pay!"

Emma was embarrassed.

And Jaquan didn't know what to say.

That night, Emma couldn't stop laughing. Especially when the police criticized and educated Jaquan in public. Jaquan knew more about the law than the police. The police were curious, "How did you know so well?"

Jaquan looked at Emma, and said, "I'm a lawyer."

The policeman looked at him carefully. "Is lawyer so poor? You can't even afford ten for roasted sweet potatoes?"

Jaquan was speechless.

Emma laughed so hard that she fell to the ground.

"It's over. Tomorrow's headline might be that 'the down and out lawyer was caught running ten miles for stealing roasted sweet potatoes'." Jaquan also sat beside her and touched the ground, "Isn't it cold? Get up, I lay my coat on it."

Emma smiled at him, "I want to lie down like this."

Jaquan thought for a moment and then fell down. This was the first time he was lying on the ground in the alley.

After a while, he laughed again.

Under his influence, Emma couldn't help but laugh. She covered his mouth while laughing and said, "My stomach hurts. I can't laugh anymore."

Jaquan kissed her palm and said, "I'm not laughing."

Emma put down her hand and sat up again. "If we lay here, others would think we were crazy."

"We can be a little crazier. What else did you want to do when you rebelled?" Jaquan sat up and asked her.

Emma could tell what he meant, "You'll regret it."

"I won't.." Jaquan didn't mind.
