The God's Boy

They wanted to ask Tom the truth about the car accident, but they were stopped by the butler. The butler only said that it was very late, and Tom and Daisy had already gone to bed, so the two guests, Nick and Gatsby, could not be allowed in. Baker didn't say anything after hearing this, he politely said good night to Nick and Gatsby and left.

Nick and Gatsby looked at each other, and in the end they could only go back, hoping that Tom or Daisy would be willing to see them tomorrow. They really didn't want things to reach an irreparable situation.

On the way back, both Gatsby and Nick fell into silence. Nick looked at the fast-moving roadside scenery and didn't know what he was thinking. Gatsby glanced at him occasionally, as if to confirm that his condition had not changed for the worse .

The journey was not long, and it took less than half an hour. Gatsby parked the car next to Nick's wooden house. Nick opened the door and got out of the car, but Gatsby also got out of the car behind him. Nick was a little confused Looking at Gatsby, seeing that Nick was much better, Gatsby smiled and took out a beautifully wrapped gift from his suit pocket.

"It's a bit late, but it's still in time. Happy birthday to you, Nick." Gatsby was a little embarrassed. He knew it was inappropriate to give Nick a gift now, but if he gave it another day, his heart would inevitably be upset. Not as good as it is now, so he can only hope that Nick doesn't mind.

"Thank you, you bought it specially?" Nick was very surprised by this gift. Now he knew what Gatsby was doing on Fifth Avenue, and he was really flattered to buy a gift specially for him.

Gatsby looked at Nick's pale face, his dazzling smile finally made Nick look not so bad, and his slightly bent eyes shone brightly, like the stars reflected in the sea , the bright stars on the blue sea are shining brightly, Nick really has a pair of eyes that are easy to fall into.

Nick lowered his head slightly, he looked at the gift in his hand, Gatsby looked at Nick's forehead, and after a while began to move.Gatsby gently held Nick's cheeks, making Nick look at him, and then he bowed his head and kissed Nick's forehead.

"Don't worry, it will be fine, trust me."

different life

When the sun shone into the room, Nick almost struggled to get out of bed. His swollen eyes and haggard face made him look a little bad. Too many things happened yesterday, which made Nick almost sleepless all night. If it wasn’t for worrying about Daisy In Tom's case, Nick would never have wanted to get up so early, given that he had already taken several days off.

Looking at the beautifully wrapped gift box on the table, Nick remembered that Gatsby kissed his forehead yesterday, and suddenly felt his head began to hurt. Nick let out a low cry of pain, and almost at the same time, the door There was a knock on the door.

Nick opened the door, and it was indeed Gatsby standing at the door. Seeing that Gatsby was acting as usual, Nick felt that he might be thinking too much last night.

After Gatsby went back last night, he felt that he had gone too far, but after kissing him, it was too late to regret it, so he thought about it all night, and planned to pretend that nothing happened last night, and continue to make pictures in the future.

Nick saw that there was nothing wrong with Gatsby, so he could only try not to worry about Gatsby's kiss last night. Fortunately, there were other more important things to deal with for them now.

"You don't look well, didn't you have a good rest last night?" Gatsby was invited into the room by Nick. He saw that Nick was a little haggard, and he was worried about his state.

"It's okay, I'm just a little worried about Daisy and the others, and I drank some wine yesterday, so I'm a little dizzy." And that kiss you had yesterday, Nick added silently in his heart, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, He frowned slightly, but he didn't take it to heart, it was just a short-term discomfort.

"It looks like you haven't read today's newspaper?" Gatsby knew that Nick had just woke up, so he must have not had time to read today's newspaper, but he still asked. He turned around and saw that something was wrong with Nick, and he seemed to notice When he arrived, he picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water for Nick.

"Newspaper? Is there anything special about today's newspaper?" Nick took the water glass handed over by Gatsby. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Gatsby mentioning the newspaper at this time.

Gatsby took out the folded newspaper from his pocket, and put the headline of the newspaper in front of Nick. He sat aside, observing Nick's expression carefully.Nick took the newspaper casually at first, and when he saw clearly the content of the newspaper headlines, he suddenly became serious, and eagerly flipped through the newspaper.

The content of the headline in the newspaper was the investigation of the car accident last night. After reading it carefully, Nick realized that something was wrong. The content in the newspaper was very different from what Nick and the others knew. This made Nick a little confused. Puzzled, he asked Gatsby, "What does this report mean? Didn't it say that a blue car killed Mrs. Wilson last night? How did it turn into a black car?"

"The report said that the witnesses changed their testimony, and the driver of the car identified in the testimony also voluntarily surrendered. After investigation, the police confirmed that although the black car was driving too fast at the time, the main cause of the accident was the deceased himself. He took the initiative to rush out of the road and caused this tragedy."

Gatsby recalled what he saw, and explained to Nick carefully that he was also very strange when he saw it at first, but soon he guessed the doorway behind it, it must be Tom's manipulation behind it, Sometimes, the role of money is really great, and it can even distort the truth and human nature.

After hearing Gatsby's words, Nick didn't know the unknown secret behind it, but he knew in his heart that something was wrong. Yesterday's chaotic scenes flashed in his mind again. It was changed beyond recognition, which made Nick feel a kind of nausea.

Nick felt an uncontrollable sense of vomiting welling up. He propped his hands on the coffee table, and bent down involuntarily. The dizziness and nausea made him lose his sanity, and his stomach began to twist and ache, a strong The pain made him unable to think, and even a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing that Nick was not in the right state, Gatsby immediately supported Nick's slightly trembling body, and brought the water to Nick's mouth. Nick drank some water from Gatsby's hand, and slightly suppressed the dizziness, but The discomfort in my stomach didn't ease in the slightest.

"What's wrong with you? Do you need to take you to the hospital?" This is Gatsby's question full of concern, but it's a pity that Nick can only wave to him weakly, indicating that there is nothing wrong with him, and now he just wants to find out ,In the end what happened.

Gatsby took some time to boil some hot water, and then forced Nick to drink some, hoping to relieve Nick's discomfort. It didn't take long for Nick to feel better, and he couldn't wait to let Gatsby go with him to Tom's Manor, he wanted to ask Tom and Daisy for an answer, but Gatsby was silent for a while before agreeing to Nick's request.

"Actually, we all know that there is no need to entangle this matter anymore, Nick." Gatsby observed Nick's state while driving. He hesitated for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to persuade Nick. Don't be so persistent, it's not a good thing for Nick.

"I know, but I don't understand. To them, what is human life? A person died last night, and the truth is there, but they ignore the truth and use various means to cover up their crimes , It makes me... feel sick." Nick never expresses his opinion on anything easily, but he doesn't care about this in front of Gatsby, he is willing to reveal all his thoughts in front of Gatsby.

"Maybe, it's just a misunderstanding. After all, everything is just our speculation." Gatsby continued to comfort Nick, he knew what Nick meant, maybe he didn't really want to pursue the truth, he was just venting A deep dissatisfaction with the means Tom and Daisy have used to preserve themselves.

Nick didn't speak, the pain in his stomach was still unabated, he hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon, and the hot water was only temporarily relieving the pain, Gatsby was even more worried when he saw Nick's painful expression, he planned to wait After dealing with everything, send Nick to the hospital as soon as possible.But when they arrived at Tom's manor, they were stopped by the police at the gate of the manor.

"Sir, what happened?" Gatsby stopped the car slowly, and then asked the policeman who was standing aside to evacuate the traffic. The latter glanced at him, and then looked at Nick, as if confirming Their identities were the same, and then they answered Gatsby's question, "The owner of this manor was attacked, and he and his wife were injured, but luckily the attacker committed suicide in the end. You know the owner of this manor ?"

Gatsby and Nick nodded, and answered the policeman's question. They were very surprised, and they didn't expect such a thing to happen. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Nick asked the policeman: "Is the attacker's identity confirmed?"

"Yes, it's Mr. Wilson, the owner of the grocery store, the poor guy who lost his wife last night." The policeman replied casually, as if he was recording something, "I heard that it was because he couldn't accept the investigation results of the car accident and misunderstood the truth about the accident. Mr. Cannan is the one who did it, he came here with a gun
