Chapter 341 Would you leave me alone?
After the chess game was over, Sarah cut off contact with him.
Looking at the phone in her hand, she was hesitating if she should call Grandpa Noth or not. After thinking for a few minutes, she finally put the phone down.
If he called Grandpa Noth now, he might suspect that it was Jason who asked her to do so, which would make the old man feel guilty and uncomfortable. Maybe tomorrow.
It was more reasonable to call Grandpa Noth during the Spring Festival.
After thinking it over, Sarah finally stopped calling the old man and went downstairs instead.
On the second day, they went out for lunch and went back to the old house to have a new year's Eve dinner, all the members of the Yeats family stayed together this day.
However.
Grandpa Yeats didn't scold Sarah this year.
The family had the new year's Eve dinner in a happy and harmonious mood.
After dinner, she called Grandpa Noth to greet him.
When he received her phone call, he was as happy as a child. He said
a lot of wishes to her and talked a lot.
The two of them chatted for almost an hour before Grandpa Noth hung up the phone reluctantly.
It was about eleven o'clock.
Grandpa Yeats had gone to bed. Seeing that Sarah was looking at the bloom of fireworks in the sky, Rita asked, "Sarah, what are you thinking about?" "Nothing."
She just kept looking at the dark sky.
This was the first time that she spent the new year at home after her mother's death. Two years ago, she had spent it in the Noth family. Somehow, Sarah suddenly felt she missed her mother so much. Holding her arm, Rita said, "I know you are missing mom."
Sarah was stunned.
"When you were not here two years ago, dad and I missed you and mom so much." Rita said in a low voice, "We were so worried that you have nowhere to celebrate the new year before."
"Sarah," Rita called her.
"What?" Sarah replied.
"Your birthday will be 20 days later," Rita remembered her sister's birthday very clearly. "Do you have any wish to realize?"
"No." Sarah didn't feel anything about her birthday.
The older she grew, the less she seemed to care about it.
However, Rita wanted to celebrate her birthday.
Rita wanted to say something but was soon interrupted by a call from Andrew.
Seeing Rita and Andrew talking on the phone happily, Sarah stood up and left.
At midnight.
Sarah received four private messages. They all said the same words, "Happy new year to you."
One was from Jason, one was from Will, and the other two were
from Eve and Sivan.
As for the group message.
There were 99+ unread messages in the group.
Sarah replied to their message and sent a few more messages to the
group. At that time, she finally realized that the new year had
officially come.
On the first day of the new year.
When Sarah woke up, she first received the new year's blessing from Jason, and then his question. "When will you pick me up?" When she saw his message, she didn't want to reply to him.
Today was the New Year's Day.
Grandpa Noth hoped that he could stay at home for a few more
days. If she picked him up on the second day of the new year, Grandpa Noth would feel lonely.
But even if she didn't reply to him, it didn't mean that he wouldn't see her again.
At three o'clock in the afternoon.
Jason called her.
"Happy new year, Sarah!"
"Happy new year."
"When will you pick me up?" Without beating around the Bush, he
asked directly, "It will be the second day of the new year tomorrow.
Will you come to pick me up tomorrow morning?"
"Can you stay there for a few more days?" Sarah asked.
Hearing that, he fell silent.
His eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything.
After a while of silence, he replied to her in a soft tone, "Don't you want me anymore?"
"No." Looking at the snow outside, she replied indifferently, "Your grandpa and mother must miss you so much. If you leave so early, they will feel lonely."
"When will you pick me up?" Jason asked.
"Eighth day of the new year, okay?" Sarah made a deal with him at
last. "I'll pick you up on time."
"Then I want a reward!"
"Okay."
After the talk, Sarah breathed a sigh of relief.
But time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the eighth day of the year came.
As Sarah promised, she went to Atlanta to pick him up. When he saw her, he was as happy as a child and threw himself at her. Then
he said, "Sarah!"
But Sarah stepped back before he could touch her.
As a result, he was confused and stood still before her.
"Sarah..." With dissatisfaction on his face, he asked. "What are you
doing?" "It's improper for a man to be intimate with a woman." She stared
at him and said, "You can't hug a woman like that..."
But before she finished her words.
He hugged her at an extremely fast speed.
At that moment.
She wanted to push him away, but before she could do that, he
loosened his grip. With an innocent smile on his face, he said, "That is my reward."
Sarah didn't understand what he said, "What?"
"Didn't you say that you would reward me as long as I stayed at
home until the eighth day of the new year?" Jason said with a kind
smile. "The reward I want is your hug."
For a moment, she didn't know how to react.
She promised him the reward.
But she thought that the reward he said must be something else.
"Let's go back to New York," Jason took her hand and said so.
On their way back.
He kept talking to Sarah about what he had experienced in his
house.
Sarah listened and nodded indifferently.
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Jason asked, "Sarah, don't
you want to talk to me?"
"No." Sarah explained, "I'm thinking about taking you to Serial for treatment?"
Hearing this, Jason narrow his eyes.
Why Sarah wanted him to be cured so much?
While he was thinking.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. Then he asked Sarah, "If I can't
recover for the rest of my life, will you leave me alone?"
"Why do you say that?" She didn't know why he came up with this
idea.
"Everyone will treat me as a burden and leave me alone, right?" the
light in his eyes dimmed. "My mind hasn't fully recovered, and I don't have any memory either. I'm just a burden to you, right?" "Don't think too much." Sarah comforted him and said, "You will soon recover."
After they arrived in New York.
Sarah took Jason to her house, then she called Serial.
When Serial received her phone call, he was in the house with
wounds on his face.
