Chapter three hundred and seventy-eight visiting family
“Woo--!”
Even though there was a long muffled sound in James' mouth through the strip of cloth on his mouth, his body twisted like a snake, and made a clanging sound with the iron bed.
“Meow~”
Hold on!
Persistence is victory!
Awakened Ron stood up, looked at James' blood-red face and eyes, patted his forehead and comforted him, but from James' eyes, Ron could see the manic beast nature and the tenacious human nature alternated back and forth - it can even be said that the manic beast nature occupied most of the time.
"Bang! Bang!"
James's body was twisting violently, and even jumping in the bedroom with an iron bed. He was eager to break free from the constraints and then look for something that would make him feel comfortable.
However, Betty was tied up quite strongly. No matter how hard James struggled, the rope was not loose, making him unable to do what he wanted.
So, as time goes by, the tenacious human nature returns little by little, and even if the manic beast nature is still coming, for James, everything is developing in a better direction.
Do you know how long it took, the blood red in James' eyes slowly faded away, and a trace of dawn appeared outside the window.
He stopped struggling, opened his eyes tiredly, looked at Ron, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a soft voice swayed in his hoarse voice cords - the strip of cloth stuffed in his mouth had fallen in the violent struggle, but now James, who had woken up, would no longer do stupid things to bite his tongue.
"Thank you, Bob."
"Thank you for being with me."
“Cruff!”
When the sky was completely lit up, James's welfare room door opened after a creaking sound, and Betty came in.
She did not stop at the door and rushed straight into James' bedroom. She immediately covered her mouth with one hand and her chest with the other - on the iron rack bed in the middle of the bedroom, James, who had been struggling for a night, lay tiredly on the sweat-soaked quilt and looked at her with a smile.
Next to James' head was the round orange cat Bob, with a light of joy in his eyes.
"James, have you survived?"
"You succeeded!"
Billing tears rolled down from his eyes. Betty didn't bother to wipe it. He smiled and untied the rope for James. The rope was covered with blood and flesh, all of which were rubbed against it when he struggled violently last night.
And these are the medals that James struggled with drug addiction.
"Thank you, Betty."
"I can't do it without you."
After untiing the rope, James sat up and hugged Betty in his arms, and the two leaned gently together.
…………
"Bob, let's go!"
With the first one, you can resist the second one.
In the subsequent drug addiction attacks, James' tenacity gained the upper hand faster than once. Until now, when drug addiction attacks, James no longer needs to tie his hands and feet.
With Betty's company, he just had to grit his teeth and persevere for a while and he could get through it.
As for James' success, Var, a doctor at the drug rehabilitation hospital, also gave him a hug with a smile - every drug addict who has successfully rehabilitated is a victory in the war against the drug.
Sometimes, Val would think how wonderful the world would be if every drug addict could be like James.
“Meow~”
OK, I'll keep up~
Following James out of the welfare houses and saying goodbye to Betty next door, Ron and James got on the bus together.
He has been living with James for more than half a month. Thanks to the special effects on James, Ron has been practicing burrow stakes frequently and has fully recovered. He has made a decision and it is time to rush back to the United States when he takes this trip with James.
As for where James is going this time, Ron knows.
The bus stopped quickly, James walked slowly in his arms with Ron and walked to the front of a house - a typical British middle-class house. Through the bright windows, Ron could see a middle-aged man with gray hair playing with a lovely twin.
Without saying anything, James stepped forward and tapped the window with his fingers.
"Dad, my elder brother knocked on the window last time."
Ron pricked up his ears and heard the twin sisters in it speak in unison, and then the middle-aged man turned his head and saw James - but his face changed the moment he saw James.
"Be good, you guys play by yourself. Dad goes and chat with your brother."
The middle-aged man turned around and said something to the twin sisters, then hurriedly left the living room, and soon Ron saw him walking out of the door with a bad expression.
"What are you doing here?"
"I……"
"Do you want money?"
"I'll give you this money, don't find it again."
The aggressive middle-aged man spoke without giving James a chance to speak. He took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a stack of money from it, turned his head and looked at the door, and handed it to James.
There was no result in the same money as before, James raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man, and spoke slowly.
"I... have completely quit."
"What did you say?"
It seemed that he thought he had heard it wrong, and the middle-aged man opened his mouth and couldn't help but repeat it.
"I've quit completely."
"I have my own job. This time I came here, I didn't ask you for money, I just wanted to see you again and say something."
"Dad, I'm sorry."
James smiled and replied that the middle-aged man in front of him was James's personal father Nigel. However, after his parents divorced and James ran away from home, these two words have never been spit out of James' mouth until today.
When facing James's words, Nigel did not say anything, but just looked at him - he was already middle-aged, and his rich social experience made Nigel see through James' clear eyes that he was not lying.
So, after a long sigh, Nigel stood in front of James and pressed his shoulder with his palm.
"Son, it's me who should be sorry."
"Since I divorced your mother, I started a new family, but I completely abandoned you."
“I can’t even help when you get addicted.”
"But, you're strong."
"I'm proud of you."
While Nigel talked to James, a woman's voice came from the door - this was his newlywed wife and the mother of the cute twins.
"Nigel, who are you talking to?"
In the past, James came to him, but he never let her discover it.
But today, slapped James on the shoulder, Nigel turned his head and said to the door.
"I'm talking to my son!"
Whether it is James or Luo, you can hear it from Nigel's tone, which contains a sense of pride.
And when he said this, Nigel's face was full of smiles, exactly the same as James's face.
