The God's Boy

It was also the same afternoon of tit-for-tat, quarreling and ironic words filled his ears, and Daisy's vacillating attitude made him even more unable to control himself, until finally driving to death with Daisy in the dark night.

Gatsby thought of the figure that suddenly rushed to the car in the dark. The dead innocent woman was the wife of the grocery store owner. Gatsby found out all this in the newspaper afterwards. It was just an accident, and there was only guilt in my heart.

Gatsby, who is caught in the memory, reveals an inextricable melancholy all over his body. This is the Gatsby that Nick has never seen. In his eyes, Gatsby is always a confident and sincere person. He is so humble and polite. , more of a gentleman than the defiant, brutish and wretched Tom.

Nick interrupted Gatsby's contemplation with some worry. Seeing Gatsby returning to normal, Nick breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Gatsby, "It's getting late, we should go back."

Gatsby nodded. They packed themselves up and left the room together. They waited at the door for the waiter to drive over. The waiter drove Gatsby's own yellow sports car. It looked like Daisy and Tom left in his own car, and the three got into it without a second thought.

On the way back, Gatsby saw the store on Fifth Avenue, and suddenly pulled over and stopped the car, letting the two people in the car wait for him and then left. Nick and Baker didn't know what Gatsby was going to do, but they were fine. Curious, quietly waiting for Gatsby to come back.

"Mr. Gatsby's behavior today is very strange. I mean, he doesn't look as affectionate as I thought." Baker put one hand on the car door and turned to look at Nick. It’s like being invited as a guest, but his angry appearance is indeed a bit scary.”

"I said a long time ago that the relationship between Daisy and Jay is not what you think. In fact, this is just Daisy's request." Nick didn't look at Baker, but turned to look in the direction Gatsby left. Thinking of Gatsby's appearance when he was angry, it was indeed terrifying, the deep despair wrapped in the anger from the soul.

"Daisy? What do you mean?" Baker was keenly aware that Nick had changed his address to Gatsby, but another thing she wanted to know more made her ignore this subtle ailment.

"I don't know the details, but according to what Jay told me, probably after Daisy and Jay met, I don't know what they talked about. Jay gave up pursuing Daisy and promised to help Daisy make her come back. Tom changed his mind." Nick naturally found that he had slipped his mouth, and fortunately he never changed it. He has always been called Gatsby Jay in private, but in front of others, he, a bystander, is naturally It's not good to be intimate with Gatsby, so as not to let Tom find out that something is wrong, but now they naturally don't need to cover up anything.

"I don't think Daisy loves Tom so much...I didn't expect her to refuse Mr. Gatsby's pursuit." Baker obviously misunderstood something, but Nick didn't intend to clarify. Silence, seeing that Nick ignored her, Baker could only wait quietly, so as not to make trouble for himself.

But fortunately, Gatsby came back quickly. He first apologized to Nick and Baker, and then started the car and drove forward. They planned to send Baker back to Tom's manor along the way. Nick goes home again.

Gatsby's driving is different from when he came here. He no longer pursues speed and excitement, but drives smoothly. This makes Nick, who has drunk a lot, feel better. At least he doesn't have to worry about vomiting.

Gatsby originally thought that since he was not the one chasing Daisy out, what should have happened had been changed, and that nothing would happen to the innocent woman in his previous life, but the noisy crowd in the distance gave him an ominous premonition.

The police stood in the middle of the road directing the traffic. There was an unusual bustle in front of the grocery store, and a large number of people flocked to the grocery store. These unusual phenomena made Gatsby feel a little worried. He ignored Miss Baker's wishes and insisted on Get out of the car to see the situation, finally they parked the car aside, then got out and walked towards the end of the crowd.

They squeezed through the crowd and walked to the innermost part, only to realize how chaotic the scene was. The first thing Gatsby and Nick noticed was Mr. Wilson who was crying and wailing, while Baker only cared about keeping his distance from the people next to him. They didn't notice the man who was in pain, the man they had only seen this afternoon.

Gatsby knew about the car accident, so he already knew what happened, but he didn't know whether it was related to Daisy, so he didn't wonder anything, just looked at the scene with a frown. A nearly broken man.

Nick who was standing next to Gatsby knew Mr. Wilson. Seeing him in so much pain, coupled with the whispered discussion in the crowd, he quickly understood what happened, as if he had sensed it. Nick turned his head and found Ms. Myrtle's body laid on a table.

The cloth wrapped around the corpse was stained with blood, Nick approached uncontrollably, stretched out his hand tremblingly and opened a corner, the scene presented to him was unacceptable to him.Ms. Myrtle was lying there with her eyes closed, her face was covered with bruises, and a bloody wound on her chest was terrifying. Nick was so stimulated that he could hardly stand upright. Just when he thought he would collapse to the ground, he was supported by a pair of hands. Living.

"Nick, are you okay?" Gatsby had already approached him when he noticed that Nick was moving. When he realized that something was wrong with Nick, he subconsciously supported him. Nick's pale face made him very worried. Gatsby knew what was wrong with Nick when he put the dead body on it. He conveniently covered the cloth on the dead body, and then guided Nick to face himself and back to the dead body.

The police standing at the scene noticed Nick and his anomalies, and he asked Nick, "Do you know her?"

"I don't know each other. We were just passing by." Seeing that Nick hadn't recovered, Gatsby answered for him. He was telling the truth. He probably didn't know the dead lady.

"She is Tom's lover, Ms. Myrtle, and the wife of Mr. Wilson, the owner of the grocer." Gatsby was a little surprised when he heard Nick's answer in a low voice. He really didn't expect that the world would be so small. He "was" It is too coincidental that the innocent passer-by who was hit and killed turned out to be Tom's mysterious lover.

Nick's voice was very low, and the scene was too lively, so no one else heard it except Gatsby. Gatsby didn't struggle too much. He looked down at Nick. Although his face recovered a bit, But it still didn't look very good, so I was a little worried about him, and was about to leave, but was stopped by someone.

"I know it's you! It was the blue car you were driving this afternoon! You killed my baby! My wife!" Mr. Wilson's roar rang in Gatsby's ears, and Gatsby hadn't After reacting, I found that someone grabbed my clothes, and then I was pulled back by a huge force.

Mr. Wilson tried to attack Gatsby, and the one on the side was trying to calm him down. Finally, Wilson and Gatsby were separated. Wilson began to accuse Gatsby of killing his wife. The police on the side listened to Wilson Allegation, asking Gatsby with a serious face, whether it is really what Wilson said.

Gatsby's clothes were ripped out of shape, so he naturally would not admit to Wilson's accusation, he pointed to the conspicuous yellow sports car outside the grocery store, and said to the police: "My car is yellow, the latest modification The car is just outside the door, we have only just arrived here, how could it be that I hit and killed the person?"

"Yes, I saw it. They just arrived here." Before the police could answer, the man standing beside Mr. Wilson spoke. He could indeed see the situation outside from his angle.

"It was indeed a blue coupé that hit and killed Mrs. Wilson, not a yellow one," added a man who was a witness to the police, and his words were indeed convincing.

"Okay, yellow." The policeman saw the yellow sports car on the side of the road, then took a deep look at Gatsby, and finally turned and left.

Gatsby saw that no one was bothering him anymore, and Mr. Wilson finally calmed down. He didn't intend to be dragged into this trouble again, and Nick's situation made him a little worried, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Tell me, who killed my wife!" Although Mr. Wilson calmed down and no longer cried and wailed, his eyes were full of hatred, which made people feel frightened.

"I don't know." Gatsby wasn't covering anyone up. He really didn't know who the culprit was. Although he was sure that the vehicle that caused the accident was Tom's car, he didn't know whether it was Tom or Daisy who was driving. In addition, Gatsby also has concerns.As soon as Gatsby thought of Wilson's act of killing himself and then committing suicide, he knew that the other party was determined to take revenge with a mortal determination. If he revealed any information, this broken husband would definitely make another crazy move.

After Gatsby finished speaking, he didn't miss it. He helped Nick turn around and left. Baker followed them and left. She was the person who didn't want to stay here the last time. Naturally, she left faster than Gates and them. They were in a hurry. When they left, they naturally didn't see the look of Wilson's eyes staring at them behind him.

Nick and Gatsby sent Baker to Tom's manor,
