Chapter 46 Fear Of Losing


    Fred knew that Bess''s behavior was not serious again. He put the tablecloth on the bar counter and


    walked out, ignoring Bess.


    "Haha! Hahaha! You are so cute, Fred! " Bess''sughter rang behind him.


    When Fred entered his bedroom, he walked straight to the bathroom. In the mirror, looking at himself


    and touching his whiskers which were not as thick as Bess had imagined, and he couldn''t help but


    wonder, ''Well, it''s indeed not as bad as I''ve imagined!''! He was just as young as he was several years


    ago, and didn''t look old at all! If Bess said he was old all the time, he would definitely be oldter!


    "Fred! Fred! Fred !" Bess knocked on Fred''s door again.


    ''The annoying girl again!'' When Fred was about to go to bed, hey prone on the bed and reluctantly


    got up, afraid that the door would be damaged if she knocked again!


    "What''s up? What time is it now? " With a yawn, Fred opened the door and looked at Bess.


    "Can you lend me a shirt?" With a pitiful look on her face, Bess held the door tightly, fearing that Fred


    would drive her away.


    "A shirt?" Fred looked at Bess up and down in confusion.


    "Look at the clothes, I wore it when I ran away from home, now they are almost torn. Look, there''s a


    hole in it!" Bess didn''t get shy, she pointed at the hem of her shirt and showed it to Fred.


    "Okay, I see." Fred immediately turned around and went back to the room to take a white T-shirt for


    Bess and threw it to her. "Take your clothes and go away quickly."


    "Hey, Fred, you''re so nice to me!" Said Bess, looking at Fred, she almost cried, she only knew Fred for


    a few days since she left home, and she thought he had done the utmost.


    "I''m not used to you like this. Go back to your bedroom and sleep." Fred closed the door impatiently


    and returned to bed, with a smile on his face.


    When Bess returned to her room in the attic prepared by Fred several days ago, she took a shower


    and put on the shirt of Fred. She didn''t get used to the strange man''s scent, but it tasted good.


    She slept soundly and had a good dream. In her dream, Bess seemed to have returned to the time six


    years ago, when she had been sitting on the horizontal bar in the school yground with her legs


    swinging, many people were running on the yground. When Jack''s voice came from downstairs, she


    was frightened and fell down from the horizontal bar. The pain she had imagined did not appear, but


    the feeling was warm and soft. Bess tried to get up, but she looked up into a pair of deep eyes, the jaw


    was clean, the lips were slightly thick, and the nose was straight.

    "Fred?" Bess took a closer look at the man lying under her, it was Fred!


    "Bess! Why do youe to my school again? Didn''t I tell you to meet at the bar?" Jackughed and


    tried to pull her up.


    Bess''s eyes narrowed in the sun''s light and put her hand in Jack''s, they walked away smilingly. Fred


    was still lying on the track, he stood up and said to Bess, "You owe me 388 dors!"


    "Hey, Fred! I''ll pay you back! " Bess woke up from her dream and jerked up.


    After waking up, Bess looked at the small attic where she lived, she rubbed her sore neck and said,


    "Fortunately, it''s just a dream!" But why did her neck hurt so much as if she had fallen down.


    Bess got out of bed, rubbed her neck and walked out of the bar counter. Then she poured arge ss


    of water and gulped it down.


    "Is there any arrangement today?" Fred''s voice came from the bar counter.


    "Ouch, you scared me!" Bess put her hand over her heart, she was really frightened by what had


    happened in the morning. She asked, "Why are you lying on the bar counter so early? Didn''t you sleep


    in your room at night? " She was so scared that she almost spit out the foul words.


    "I''m asking you, have you arranged it today?" Fred got up from the lounge chair in the bar counter,


    ignoring Bess''s series of questions.


    "Of course not. Don''t you know how idle we are every day? I couldn''t even see a figure in the bar. Will


    you open one door to attract customers for once and support you for half a year? "Bess was confused.


    "Hey, what''s wrong with you? Why are you always wearing my T-shirt? We should go out to buy you


    some new clothes." Fred said.


    Looking at Fred''s suit on her, Bess also felt embarrassed.


    "Ahem, then I, I will wash my face first." Finishing her words, Bess walked away in embarrassment.


    ''Does Fred treat me like his own daughter? Why is he so nice to me?'' Bess thought.


    Fred felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility but he didn''t know why, he just wanted to take good


    care of Bess, who was still a poor and homeless girl.


    Jack didn''t sleep well the whole night, and the only thought in his mind was Bess. The next day, he


    went out without waiting for Cary to wake up, he didn''t even go to the clinic, but went directly to the bar


    where Bess was yesterday.


    "Is it necessary to lock the door?" Ask Bess to Fred at the door of the bar.


    "No, I don''t have many valuable things here"


    "You said thatst time, when we came back, there were many people in the bar. Do you also rent the


    bar today?" Bess didn''t believe Fred anymore.


    "No, I don''t."


    "How can we go there? Do you have a car? "Bess got the point.


    "I... I don''t know how to drive," Fred stammered in embarrassment, he ought to be an experienced


    driver at his age.


    "You are so cute, Fred"


    "Bess! "When Jack parked his car in front of the bar, he saw the two people talking at the door.


    Jack''s voice interrupted their talk, but Bess didn''t expect that he woulde here again. "Why are you


    here?" Bess walked up to Jack''s car and spoke to him through the car window, "What''s up? Do you


    miss me so soon? "


    "What are you wearing?" Jack had noticed that the T-shirt on Bess was loose, so it was obviously not


    hers.


    "I ran away from home without any clothes. Well, Dr. Jack, did you want to buy me some clothes?"


    Bess was still in a joking tone.


    "Come on, let me take you to buy clothes." Jack was so generous.


    In fact, Bess didn''t really want to ask Jack to buy her clothes, but she change her mind when he said


    yes. She thought she''d better take advantage of Jack rather than trouble Fred, since it made her feel


    better and morefortable, not to mention Jack hadn''t paid for the wine yesterday.


    Bess thought about it and said, "Okay, wait a minute."
