Betty also felt the dramatic change of her son but didn't ask much about it.

She had been lying in the hospital for almost a year, during which it was normal for Francis to change under hardships.

She also didn't inquire about Walter in case Francis would feel sad.

Back to the rented house, Francis paid off the rent and moved out with his mother overnight.

Apart from the harassment from internet loan companies, they needed to evade Donny's retaliation.

Francis had the strength and confidence to protect himself, but his mother was too feeble.

Francis rented a room for his mother as a temporary dwelling in White Shoal, a village within the city.

Although Betty recovered and the pressure on medical expenses was gone, Francis's life wasn't much easier because he borrowed a lot of internet loans.

Moreover, Francis was still anxious to search for his adoptive father, Walter. Whether his old man was alive or dead, he needed a conclusion.

Ding... On the morning of the fifth day after being discharged from the hospital, Betty felt much better and could even take care of herself.

After Francis turned on his cell phone which had been off for five days, a dozen messages flooded in.

Then a call came in.

Francis put on earplugs to answer, and soon a cold female voice came over, "You finally turn on your phone. I thought you fled with the money."

"In the past few days, your phone has been off, and you haven't returned any message. I didn't see you at home. Where have you been?"

"If you don't want to stay with Thompson Family, then go away."

It was Rosie.

Francis hastened to explain, "Sorry, I've been staying with my mom. She just came out of the hospital and needs my care."

"I turned off my phone because of the harassment from debt collection agencies that are constantly calling me. For fear of worrying my mother, I turned it off temporarily."

He asked in a light voice, "What's your deal?"

Although he had been left out in the cold in Thompson's house in the past year, Francis knew that he didn't have the right to lose temper. After all, Thompson Family gave me half a million yuan to save her mother.

As soon as Rosie heard that Francis was taking care of Betty, her voice turned softer, "Send me your location, I'm picking you up."

Francis was a little surprised, "You've come back from the trip?"

A week ago, Thompson Family of five traveled abroad, leaving Francis alone to guard the door.

"You don't understand my words or what? Location."

Rosie hung up impatiently.

Francis had to send her his location.

Zoom... Half an hour later, a flaming BMW pulled off in front of Francis.

The door opened, and a stunning beauty got off.

Dressed in black, the woman had delicate features, fair skin, and reserved yet sexy temperament.

Especially her legs were white, slender, and plump. When she walked, she was very seductive.

Many passers-by immediately widened their eyes, catching for breaths.

Rosie Thompson.

The No. 1 beauty in Sea City and Francis's wife.

"You are such a filial son that you rent such a shabby place for your mother."

Rosie mocked Francis as always but handed him a few bags of bird's nests and ginseng nonetheless, "These tonics are for your mother and beneficial to her health."

"Didn't your mother need surgery? Why did you return the money?"

She threw a bank card to him, "Thompson Family has spent 600, 700 thousand yuan on you, so another 100 thousand is nothing to mention."

Francis hastened to wave his hand, "This won't be necessary. She is much better now and doesn't need the surgery anymore..." "Recovered or not, just take it for her."

Rosie interrupted brusquely, "It's a disgrace for you to borrow around."

"Don't give me that. If you are backboned, you wouldn't have been married into Thompson Family and received my monthly 10,000 yuan to cover the medical expenses."

There was a tinge of contempt in her tone. He just feigned refusal for the sake of his so-called dignity.

Frustrated by her words, Francis still wanted to return the bank card, but Rosie was already in the car.

He had to carry the tonics and bank card, saying, "Thank you, are dad and mom back?"

Rosie's voice remained indifferent, "None of your business."

"Bring them to your mother, I have something to tell you."

Without future ado, Francis took the things to the rented house, informed her mother, and then left.

Whoosh... Francis got into the copilot's seat, and Rosie drove away at a step on the accelerator.

Francis's body shook under the inertia, and his left hand happened to touch Rosie's thigh.

It was smooth and soft.

At the same time, a message appeared in his mind.

Status: Murderous qi erosion, haunted by ill fortune, collateral damage to families, life-threatening... Caused: Buddha amulet obtained from overseas travel was bewitched... Restore or destroy?

Before Francis could select restore with his willpower, Rosie's eyes already turned cold.

Francis hastened to move his hand away.

It required physical contact for him to help Rosie dispel the murderous qi, but she would not allow him to touch her.

Therefore, he had to remind her kindly, "Rosie, your ophryon is dark, and your qi is weak. That's a symbol of bloodshed. You need a master to neutralize it..."

Rosie sneered, "In a couple of days, you become capable and can even practice physiognomy."

Francis said awkwardly, "No, but you are really possessed by murderous qi. During your travel, you were bewitched... Do you have a Buddha amulet with you?"

He told Rosie of her situation in one breath.

"Shut up! You are possessed and shed blood."

Rosie was ashamed and angry, "I'm in perfect health. If you dare to curse me again, get the hell off."

Francis said helplessly, "I really didn't curse you..." "Then shut up."

Rosie's eyes turned fierce, "You don't know anything yet talk nonsense. Since when was a househusband versed in physiognomy?"

Francis sensibly zipped his mouth.

Francis's silence angered Rosie even more. This man was not only incapable but also cowardly. What was he good for?

But a flash of doubt also crossed her mind. How did Francis know she had a Buddha amulet?

She hung it over her chest. Could it be the bastard peeped and then tried to fool her?

It should be like that.

After Rosie made such a judgment, her pretty face showed more disappointment.

Francis was not only incapable but also a pervert.

"Francis, when everything is done this month, I'll divorce you."

Rosie's eyes were firmer than ever, "I don't care if you object or not."

One year ago, Thompson Family was in constant ill fortune, and Rosie was seriously sick. To drive out evil spirits, Francis was needed as a live-in son-in-law.

In the past year, the ill fortune was gone, and Rosie was in good health again. Thompson Family was planning to kick Francis out.

Every member of the Thompson Family disliked him.

Within Rosie, pity gave way to disdain. She couldn't find any value in this man.

Hearing the news, Francis remained in silence, but his eyes went dim.

He felt like he was a public enemy.

"Do you know why mom, dad, and brother-in-law are so disappointed in you?"

"Not because you are poor or marry into our family but because of your cowardice and incompetence."

"In the past year, apart from housework, you haven't done any serious business. You are hopeless and good for nothing."

"I really don't want to spend the rest of my life with a man like you although you are a tool for Thompson Family to expel ill fortune."

"Don't worry, I'll you another 500,000 yuan when we divorce."

"So, you don't have to worry about your mother's medical expenses."

Rosie's tone was emotionless, "We meet and part as friends. Don't make me despise you completely."

Meeting and parting as friends?

A flicker of bitterness flashed across Francis's eyes.

He could still vaguely remember that dusk with heavy snowfall. A little girl with a pigtail dressed in red saved him with a bag of barbecued pork buns.

Although 18 years had passed, Francis could still remember the girl's face and kindness.

This was the main reason why he was willing to marry into the family.

500,000 yuan was important, but more importantly, Francis wanted to repay the kindness then.

Otherwise, he was definitely worth over 500,000.

Francis sighed inwardly. It might be the time to let go... "Did you hear me?"

Noticing Francis's daze, Rosie said disappointedly, "I'll divorce you..." Woosh!

Before her voice died away, the silent man's ear suddenly moved, and he sat upright with a start.

He leaned against Rosie. His strength was so great that Rosie couldn't move.

The next second, he veered the steering wheel with his left hand and pressed her long leg with his right hand.

The BMW about to stop at an intersection in front of a red traffic light suddenly accelerated and darted out.

"Francis!"

Rosie screamed, "Are you crazy?"

Bang!

As soon as the car rushed to the opposite side, a dump truck swept over and ran into six cars. Even the road was crushed.

There was a round of uproars.

Rosie pushed Francis away, stepped on the brake, and then turned back for a glance.

Blood was everywhere.
