Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Anyway, whoever wants funding can do it, but it cannot exceed US$200,000.

Beyond this bottom line, Chen Zhao became anxious.

My office has not been decorated yet.

You want some funding, I want some funding.

Five million US dollars seems like a lot, but it can't withstand the devouring of this group of jackals, tigers and leopards.

You must know that although there are few people in the Supernatural Association, there are really many places where money is used.

For example, the budget for building a training ground needs to be hundreds of thousands of dollars larger.

Chen Zhao and West conducted an evaluation to build a training ground for association members.

The initial estimate was $800,000, which was due to lack of money.

Now that he has money, Chen Zhao wants to build a training ground first.

Of course, if they apply for some weapons or equipment, Chen Zhao can approve it.

Chen Zhao Chen Zhao returned home and found that Fali had been holding his mobile phone and sitting on the sofa in a daze.

Chen Zhao stepped forward and hugged Fali: "Fali, what are you thinking about?"

Fali sat there and didn't speak, just silent.

Chen Zhao was confused: "Fali, what's wrong?"

After five minutes of silence, Fali finally spoke.

"Chen, we just got a call from Santa Maria Hospital in San Francisco." Fali said.

"San Francisco? St. Mary's Hospital?" Chen Zhao was a little confused.

"You can call him yourself. The person on the other end of the line is Dr. John."

Chen Zhao hesitated for a moment, San Francisco?

Among the people I know, Ge Lin seems to be the only one.

Did something happen to Ge Lin?

If it was Ge Lin, no wonder Fali had such a jealous expression.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Chen. Are you Dr. John?"

"Hello, I am Dr. John, and you are Miss Green's ex-boyfriend, right?"

Chen Zhao hesitated and replied, "Yes."

"Miss Gelin gave birth to a baby girl in our hospital on August 15th."

Chen Zhao was stunned, his expression completely frozen, and he turned his head to look at Fali in astonishment.

Chen Zhao started to count the time again. He came to the United States after the National Day last year.

Then it was around October that I slept with Ge Lin.

It seems that he and Ge Lin did not have an established relationship at that time.

In fact, he and Ge Lin never had an established relationship from beginning to end.

So they paid more attention to that aspect at that time.

Ge Lin takes birth control pills.

How could there be a child?

Okay, it sounds a bit ugly to think so.

But Chen Zhao couldn't help but wonder if this child was his.

"Excuse me, where is Gelin?"

"Miss Greene is dead."

"died?"

Chen Zhao was confused again, dead?

How did you die? It’s unlikely that you’ll die in childbirth in this era, right?

"Ms. Gelin was shot when she gave birth. Although we performed rescue operations, we only had time to rescue the child because the injuries were too severe."

Dr. John said: "Because Miss Gelin has only registered that you are the father of the child, and also left your contact information, our hospital can only call you. Of course, legally you have no such obligation. If you refuse to adopt the child, we will send the child to an orphanage."

"Wait a moment, I will go to San Francisco tomorrow. Can we have an interview then?"

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhao looked at Fali.

"Fali, I'm sorry...me."

Fali suddenly pounced on Chen Zhao: "Chen, let's have a baby too, right?"

"ah?"

"I also want to have a baby with you." Fali said.

Chen Zhao didn't know what a woman's thinking was like.

But now he can't even say, I don't want to have a child so early.

In fact, Chen Zhao had no intention of having a child so early.

He wants to continue to live happily for a few more years.

But now, another woman has given birth to a child for him, what can Chen Zhao say?

"I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow." Chen Zhao said.

"Well, bring her back." Fali said.

Early in the morning, Chen Zhao went out and headed straight to the airport.

Chen Zhao's mood was very complicated.

joy? nervous? doubt?

A woman sitting next to Chen Zhao saw that Chen Zhao was sweating profusely and in a trance.

"Sir, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Ah? I'm fine." Chen Zhao came back to his senses: "I'm fine."

The woman looked at Chen Zhao's nervous look. Could it be that he was a terrorist?

Well, this woman is overthinking.

The plane landed safely. Although Chen Zhao was nervous and hesitant, he did not do anything drastic on the plane.

"Sir, the exit is over there." The woman followed Chen Zhao and found that Chen Zhao didn't seem to know the way.

"Oh, thank you……"

The woman followed Chen Zhao and saw that Chen Zhao was still in a daze. She almost walked to the motorway and was hit by a car.

A moment later, after the woman drove up her car parked at the airport, she saw Chen Zhao still waiting for the car on the side of the road.

"Sir, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a ride?"

"convenient?"

"As long as you don't ask me to send you to the suburbs."

"St. Mary's Hospital."

"Okay, come up." The woman looked at Chen Zhao who looked nervous: "Are you sick?"

"No, I just suddenly learned that I have an extra daughter." Chen Zhao replied.

"Your wife?"

"No, it's my ex-girlfriend."

"All right."

When he arrived at the door of the hospital, Chen Zhao looked back at the woman in the car: "Thank you, may I know your name?"

"Maria."

"My name is Chen. By the way, I also know someone named Maria, but you are nothing like that Maria. Goodbye."

Chen Zhao entered the hospital and found Dr. John.

"Hello Dr. John, can I see my daughter?"

"You need to do a blood type comparison first. If you are not the father of the child, we cannot give the child to you."

The protection of children in the United States has reached a very strict level.

Everything becomes complicated when it comes to children.

Of course, the results of the blood type comparison are still available very quickly.

Dr. John held up a blood comparison report: "Mr. Chen, after blood type matching and paternity testing, we have determined that you are the biological father of the child."

Chen Zhao was completely stunned. It was really his own child.

He actually became a father?

"Mr. Chen, do you want to adopt a child?"

"Of course, of course." Chen Zhao nodded.

"Our hospital will help you issue a certificate and also help you contact a child adoption agency. I wonder what Mr. Chen does?"

"I'm a professor at the University of Los Angeles."

A good job can definitely make the adoption process smoother.

"Okay." Dr. John nodded.

No matter whether a person has professional discrimination or not, when faced with the choice of adopting a child, he will definitely choose a university professor instead of a person with a higher income and position than ordinary people.
