American drama of life

Chapter 61 Flying Knife Sees Flying Knife Again
Luke felt that Emma was also connoting him, and was speechless.

Fortunately, Monica and their apartment are not far away.

It will be there in a while.

"You are back."

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and Monica heard the sound of the door opening, and immediately opened the door in her clothes: "You must be Emma, ​​I'm Monica, Luke's friend."

"I remember you."

Emma nodded: "You are Phoebe's good friend."

"Correct."

Phoebe said happily, "She's a good friend of mine."

After speaking, he glanced at her proudly.

"..."

Monica rolled her eyes directly.

She just wanted to bypass Phoebe and directly introduce her relationship with Luke, without making a difference for Phoebe as a middleman. What's wrong?
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? I'll make it for you."

Monica suppressed her displeasure and rubbed her hands together.

"Emma?"

Luke looked at Emma.

"I'm not hungry."

Emma shook her head.

"Monica, go back to sleep."

Seeing this, Luke smiled at Monica and said, "I'll just get something to eat myself later."

He is also tired by now, and he is indeed hungry.

"I'll do it for you."

Monica immediately felt relieved and went straight to the kitchen to get food.

"Phoebe, take Emma to wash and go to bed early."

Luke suggested.

"Emma, ​​I'll take you to the bathroom."

Phoebe nodded and took Emma to wash up.

"Monica, I'm going to sleep on your sofa tonight."

Luke looked at the sofa and asked, "Is your sofa a sofa bed?"

"Yes."

While making food, Monica promised, "Don't be too busy. I'll help you make the bed while you're eating."

"I'm so sorry."

Luke said so, but also took advantage of the situation and sat down.

The former is a poor child who was in charge of the house early. Not only can he cook well, but he can also do sewing and sewing. He is almost an all-rounder in housework and is very diligent.

Luke was also a child of a poor family in his previous life, but because he lived in a happy family in the East, his parents doted on him so much that his limbs were not working and he could not distinguish grains.

Therefore, although Luke has inherited the body and skills of his predecessor, the lazy soul cultivated for more than 20 years in his previous life still affects him.

After being polite, it would be best if you don't do anything.

"Give!"

Monica quickly made a sandwich and a cup of hot milk and handed them to Luke, and then let Luke go to the dining table to eat, while she began to turn the sofa into a sofa bed, and brought sheets, bedding and pillows from the bedroom, Make Luke's bed.

"Monica, you will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future."

Luke ate a sandwich and drank milk, watching Monica busy, couldn't help but praise.

"Thank you."

Monica was very happy to hear it: "As long as I am not a good wife and mother like my mother, I will say thank you."

"You won't be your mother's."

Luke laughed.

Emmm.

This is yet another daughter who has a problem with her mom.

Monica's parents are very patriarchal, especially Monica's mother, who is very harsh on Monica. No matter what Monica does, she will find fault with her, which is the source of Monica's obsessive-compulsive disorder and nightmares.

"OMG!"

At this time, Phoebe exclaimed from the bathroom.

"what happened?"

Luke quickly put down the food, walked over, and asked through the door.

"It's nothing."

Emma's flat voice came out.

When Phoebe came out first, both Luke and Monica stared at her, waiting for her explanation.

"Emma is hurt."

Phoebe said angrily: "My mother is indeed the best mother of the year in the calf dealer!"

"is it serious?"

Luke's face darkened.

"It's some old injuries, back, shoulders, legs."

Phoebe shook her head and said, "They all left scars on Emma's body. It's so dazzling and distressing!"

Luke's face became even uglier.

Children's resilience is very strong, unless it is a very serious injury, or if it is not treated well, it will generally not leave scars.

And now I heard from Phoebe that there are many old scars on Emma's body, one can imagine what Emma has experienced.

At this time, Emma also came out after washing.

"Emma, ​​let me see."

Luke said to her.

"no big deal."

Emma frowned, but seeing Luke's insistence, she walked over and exposed her shoulders. There was a scar about two centimeters near the joints on the shoulders.

It was hidden by the clothes before, but now it is exposed, so dazzling on the snow-white shoulders!
"How did this come about?"

Luke took a deep breath.

"You know Bonnie, too."

Emma covered her clothes and said calmly: "I was irritable in the first place, but my mood fluctuated even more after being drunk and high. Once I got angry, I threw a fruit knife over and left this scar after random bandaging."

"OMG!"

Both Phoebe and Monica covered their mouths and exclaimed, "She won't take you to the hospital?"

"If you go to the hospital, you will definitely be questioned, and then you will attract child protection organizations."

Luke's face was livid.

He really thought too well of Bonnie.

It's a pity that these scars are invisible under the clothes, otherwise if he sees them, even if Emma gets angry with him again, he will forcefully send Bonnie to prison.

"What about the other scars?"

Luke asked.

"You still want to watch?"

Emma looked at him in surprise.

"……sorry."

Only then did Luke react from his anger and self-blame. The injury on his shoulder was okay, but the other places were too private, so he really didn't want to look at it again, so he quickly apologized.

After saying that, thinking that if the predecessor took her away, although it might not be better than now, but he would not be hurt like this by his relatives, he apologized again for the predecessor and Emma: "I'm sorry..."

"It's nothing."

Emma shook her head: "What can I do when I meet such parents? Compared with my sister, to a certain extent, I have indeed done well."

Seeing that Luke and the other three were still in a bad mood, she yawned and said, "I'm sleepy."

"I'll take you to sleep."

Phoebe pulled Emma into the bedroom pitifully.

"My God, there are still such parents."

Monica murmured: "In this way, my mother is not bad..."

"..."

Luke was speechless.

This sentence is too familiar.

Anyone who has seen Bonnie and heard how she treats her daughter will suddenly feel less estranged and conflicted with their own mother. They feel that their mother is too kind, and it is simply a panacea for improving the relationship between mother and daughter in the world of American dramas.

What a black joke.

After Phoebe settled Emma, ​​Luke changed his expression, walked in, and said to Emma who was lying on the bed: "Everything will be fine."

Speaking of this, he touched Emma's forehead with his finger, and said silently in his heart: "System, exchange for 1 longevity seed! Pass the longevity seed to Emma along my finger!"

The system responded silently.

This 1-year long-lived seed is a 1-day reward he got after saving Emma. After being exchanged, it can be used on himself or on others who come into contact with him.

Although the one-year increase in lifespan is nothing, the corresponding increase in all attributes can enhance Emma's physique and resilience, and perhaps make those ugly scars disappear.

Now he is willing to take it from her and use it to her.
