Chapter 24 Running Away From Home
"I'm fine." Yvonne walked towards them and handed the wallet to the woman. "Aunt, is there something in your wallet lost?"
The woman took the wallet and checked it. "Well, well, everything is here. thank you very much!" The woman looked at them gratefully.
"It's okay as long as you don't lose your money." Comforted, Yvonne was smiling.
Seeing the wallet was still here, the girl who was taking the skateboard turned around and was about to leave. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Oh, please wait a moment," said Yvonne and she stopped the girl, "My name is Yvonne and I'm a student. Nice to meet you today and your skateboard is very cool."
The girl looked at Yvonne who was friendly, she did want to make more friends after she just came back. In addition, they were in the same boat. So she reached out her hand and said, "Bess, I don't have any work at present, but I'm only interested in playing music and skateboards. "
A musician? It sounded so cool! Yvonne also smiled and reached out her hand. "Bess, then we may meet again!"
"Okay, bye. You are so cute. We will definitely meet again." Bess said with a rare smile, which was so beautiful that her eyes were as curved as crescent moons.
Bess got her skateboard and walked away, and Yvonne turned back to look for Ellie too.
"Ellie, let's go." Yvonne said as she took a bag from Ellie and put it on her back.
"Yvonne, you were so heroic and agile just now. I don't know what happened but you ran out..." Ellie said, blinking her eyes.
"It's just what I should do. Let's get down to select the gift together." Yvonne was a little shy by being praised, it was an outrageous matter, and now she just wanted to buy a gift for Cary.
Bess got her skateboard, when she entered the house, she saw her father, Sampson, was holding his arms and sitting on the sofa. He was staring at her, as if he wanted to beat her.
"Where did you go? Look at you! Don't be so naughty! " Sampson said in disappointment.
"Dad, I'm twenty-five years old now, okay? Don't be so nosy, okay? " Bess got her skateboard near the door and went towards Sampson.
"How long have you been back from the United States? You don't even have a decent job. How could you grow up without my help? " Sampson was a little angry and began to rebuke Bess. "Look at Rae! She is the director of Lin Family at the same age with you. Look at you! A girl dresses up like a boy every day. "
"Does Rae become a director?" Bess was a little surprised, she had studied abroad for only a few years. Did that the beautiful little girl, Rae, become a strong woman now?
"Can you care about your own business? From tomorrow on, you have to go to work in Lin Family." Sampson commanded.
"No way!" Bess refused firmly.
"How dare you not go! I've discussed with Rae and she'll help you arrange your job there. You grew up together with her, so you can learn from her." Sampson stared at Bess.
Bess rolled her eyes and thought, how could Rae be counted as her friend? She was disdainful of the work she arranged for her. "I said I won't go. I'll find a job by myself!"
"Work? Just by using your guitar? A broken keyboard? Or do you want me to provide everything for you all the time? " At the mention of this, Sampson got angry. When Bess was in college, she often fiddled with such stuff. She was sent to study abroad because she didn't do well in studies, and Sampson wanted to let her experience abroad. When she returned, she could help her deal with some business of his. But Bess hadn't learned enough from her college, and he didn't know where this kind of bully-feature came from, she just dressed carelessly every day.
"Dad, why are you acting like an old stubbornness? I used to think you were very open-minded, but now it seems that you are a tyrant. Those guitars are my life, and I don't want to work as a junior in the Lin Family. I have to follow the attitude of Rae every day, do you want to see that I'm bossed around by others? I have a dream, and I will also support you with my dream. "
Bess couldn't understand why her father wanted her to find a decent job so much, but in fact, it was not a very happy job to make profit for others. In her mind, she only liked music and hated business.
"Go to work! Or I'll throw away all those instruments you have as well, and you can move out from here. I won't give you a penny, is it your so-called independent? Aren't you an adult who doesn't need me to discipline you? Let me see how long you can live outside without me! " Sampson knew that it was useless to reason with Bess, so he began to threaten her.
"No way! Don't touch my guitar! I will move out! I will move out! I won't let you take care of me anymore! I will never compromise to politics! " Bess was afraid that Sampson will throw all the musical instruments away as soon as possible, so she run upstairs to protect them.
Bess took a guitar and went downstairs, she took out all the money and bank cards in her pocket and put them on the table, saying, "these are all the money I get from you. I will take only my ID card and the guitar."
Sampson didn't expect that Bess really wanted to run away from home, so he immediately regretted what he said. She must have thought of a chance to leave him long ago, and this was what she wanted!
"You..." He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Bess.
"I... I'll leave now. Please take care of yourself, my dear father. I'll make money for you with my dream, and please don't throw away these instruments upstairs!" Being afraid that Sampson would take back what he had said, Bess took her guitar and ran out of the door.
Looking at the disappearing figure of Bess, Sampson was angry and annoyed, he was so silly to make a mistake. Worrying the little girl, he called several guards, "follow Bess and don't let her get into trouble. Tell me immediately if anything happens."
He could do nothing to persuade her!
Bess finally escaped from her stubborn dad, but she came back home with a guitar and wasn't familiar with home anymore. Where should she go? This turned out to be a big issue!
"I just got the news that Bess ran away from home!" Cary said on the phone while driving, "I told you first, Jack, You know how stubborn Bess is. Don't make her homeless,"
"Why did you tell me? I'm not her father and I'm busy now. I'll hang up if you have nothing else to say. "Said Jack, pretending not to care about Cary's words, but in fact, he really wanted to close the clinic and go out to look for her. But he didn't know why there were so many people in the clinic today, and he really couldn't walk away at this moment.
