Chapter 23 From Vienna 5
"Should I go take a look at him?"
"Should I go take a look at him?"
"Mom, tell me...please tell me..."
Jerry stared at Jin Yuxiang's tombstone, muttering to himself in a daze, while Pedro Bocanegra stood behind him, holding up his hands and using the black windbreaker he had taken off to create a makeshift canopy over Jerry's head.
More than two hours have passed, and the snow that has been falling in Yokosuka has accumulated a thick layer on this temporarily constructed artificial roof!
But the little guy below still stared motionlessly at Jinyuxiang's tombstone, as if he wouldn't leave until he got an answer today!
Pedro looked at Jerry's face getting more and more unsightly, finally opened his mouth: "Boss~"
"Shut up for a second, can't you see I'm talking to my mom?"
He has fallen into a very serious illusion, Pedro has felt the severity of the situation: "Boss, Ms. Jinyuxiang is dead!"
Jerry suddenly turned his head, holding the serrated dagger in his hand, staring at Pedro Bocanegra's wooden face. "If you dare to say it again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
No one knew what Pedro was thinking behind his sunglasses, this poker-faced guy seemed to not put Jerry's threat in his heart at all. "Miss Jinyuxiang is already dead!"
Jerry gasped suddenly, then swung his dagger and stabbed at Pedro, but unfortunately, his movements were still not fast enough. Pedro, holding the black windbreaker, shook his arms, and the snow that had accumulated on the temporary roof poured down onto Jerry's head. The little guy was stimulated by the cold snow and shivered, his eyes reflexively closed, and at the same time, the black windbreaker wrapped around his arms, then suddenly wrapped around, Pedro followed up with a knee lift, pressed against Jerry's hands, and knocked the serrated dagger out of Jerry's hand. He immediately followed up, his foot kicked, and when Jerry lost his balance, the black windbreaker was pulled back hard, binding Jerry's hands behind his back. In the end, Pedro Bocanegra tied him into a human stick!
Jerry was wriggling his body like an earthworm, shouting in his mouth: "% * ※ (# @ …… You bastard, let me go ~ I want to fire you ~ fire you ~"
Pedro kicked Jerry over with one foot, causing the little guy's mouth to land directly on the cold snow. Then Pedro reached out and removed the hat from the headstone of Jin Yuxiang's grave. He patted the snow off the hat and said, "Sorry, Miss Jin Yuxiang, I couldn't just stand by and watch him get so down. It's my duty to protect his safety. I hope you can forgive my rashness from heaven!"
Pedro made a cross on his chest and then clasped his hands together in front of Jinyuxiang's tombstone!
The poor little guy was punched and fainted after being put into the back seat of Pedro's Mercedes-Benz!
After receiving a call from Yoriko Inoue, Tanaka Nanako handed over the matter to Saito Renko and rushed back home. However, when she picked up the phone to dial Ben's car phone number, no one answered! Billy Swan's letter, if it was true that little guy's father had been found, Tanaka Nanako couldn't imagine how little guy would react to this situation! Why did terrible things always happen to him one after another?!
Will he go to Yokosuka?
Tanaka Nana's anxiety grew as she waited at home, and just as she was about to grab her clothes and head out the door, the phone rang!
"Hello! I'm Tanaka Nana-ko! Is that Pedro?"
"Yes! Kanako-san, I'm Pedro, and the boss is with me right now!"
"How is Jerry?"
"He's fine now! Miss Nakahara, don't worry, we're on a small hill across from Yokosuka Port and will be back soon!"
"Alright! Please hurry up!"
When Pedro Bocanegra handed Jerry over to Tanaka Nana, who was tightly bound, the look of anger on Tanaka's face was unmistakable.
"Pedro, you son of a bitch, how dare you treat Jerry like that! Now get the hell out of my house!"
Pedro still had that wooden expression, not moving at all from Tanaka Kanako's scolding, "I'm just doing my duty as a bodyguard!"
As a bodyguard, he thought he had done nothing wrong!
……
When Jerry woke up, he seemed to have completely forgotten about Billy Swann's letter. As soon as he opened his eyes and jumped out of bed, the first thing he did was raise his hands and shout loudly, "Pedro Bocanegra, damn you, get out! I'm going to duel with you, if I don't knock you down, my surname is not Li!"
Yes, after waking up, he used Chinese!
Tanaka Nana, who was dozing off on the edge of the bed, was startled by Jerry's shouting and her body jerked violently as she immediately woke up from her drowsiness. "Jerry-kun~ Jerry-kun~ lie down quickly~ lie down quickly~"
"Where's Pedro the coward? Get him out here! I'm gonna beat him up badly today!"
"Let me put you down, can you hear? You'll catch a cold like this!"
"I don't..."
"I'm your mom! You have to listen to me!"
"It's not... you're not... my mom is already dead... she's already dead!" When these words were shouted out, Jerry's heart suddenly sank!
"Yes, she's dead! So you have to listen to me. Listen, Jerry, you shouldn't go alone to Ms. Jinyuxiang's grave and ask her if you should see him or not. She can't give you any advice, a dead person, a skull, or a cold tombstone, none of these can give you advice! You have to learn to make your own decisions."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Jerry yelled, his neck stretched out and his face red.
Pedro Bocanegra is right, his situation is very bad, the emotions that have been hidden deep inside him are step by step pushing him to the brink of collapse! If he can't face this alone, the accumulated emotions will likely destroy him directly! It's time for him to wake up! If he doesn't let go now, things will only get worse and worse!
……
Pedro: "When my wife died in my arms, I was just like the boss, refusing to acknowledge the fact! Refusing to admit her death had nothing to do with me! The weight of that responsibility on my heart made me just like him, hiding those things in my own heart, deceiving myself! It wasn't until my daughter died before my eyes that I realized I was just a poor wretch living in past years!"
……
"She can't give you any advice! She's already dead! I'm telling you, she's already dead! Your father's departure has nothing to do with you at all! So please stop blaming yourself, okay? Look at me, Jerry, look at me. Do you know what this is? This is his message, this is his message. Whether or not to go find him, you have to decide for yourself! Don't give me that expression, don't look at me like a poor stray dog. Just like the late Madame Jin Yuxiang, I can't help you! You have to make all these decisions yourself!"
Looking at Jerry's disheartened face, Tanaka Nana was heartbroken. She turned around and secretly wiped away her tears, her voice trembling with emotion. "Ms. Kim has passed away, yes, she's gone! But Jerry, please don't forget that besides Ms. Kim, you still have me, Bob, the company, and all the people who care about you! You shouldn't be stuck in the past like this! You always taught me to look forward, to face a brighter future, to believe in myself, and to trust my abilities as much as any man's. I did it, I fought against Arche Clemens, I moved out of Yokosuka, I founded the New People's Party, I challenged myself, and I won! Why can't you be like me, like a real man, facing your past hardships head-on, challenging them, trampling them, and defeating them?"
"The Jerry I liked was not like this now. He's brave, he's kind, he despises everything... He's the prince in my heart..."
When the door closed again, the whole room fell silent!
Outside the room, Tanaka Kanae leaned against the door, her body slowly sliding down, and her tears also gushed out! She finally steeled herself, but if she didn't do so, what else could she do? Was she supposed to just watch Jerry slide step by step into the abyss of self-blame?
He's still too young!
Suddenly, Tanaka Nana had a feeling of regret. She felt an urge to stand up, unlock the door, rush into the room and hug Jerry tightly in her arms, softly comforting him, just like before!
But can she? No, she cannot!
She can't do that!
No!
No!
Tanaka Nana's fingernails had dug into her flesh, and yet in her heart there was another kind of pain, the kind that made her heartbeat almost stop!
The poor woman sat on the ground with her shoulders hunched, silently weeping!
Time has passed, just like this, one minute and one second at a time!
The snow outside has gotten bigger and bigger, with thick goose feather-like snow reducing visibility by several points!
The Mercedes-Benz was already encased in a thick layer of ice, and Pedro Bocanegra had fallen into a deep sleep inside the car!
The lights still didn't turn on inside the house.
