Chapter 31 third quarter

Yes, I listened to him. I don't like doing that -- but I still listen to him. But I insisted on being there, and swore to obey orders. So, I went into the house through the opened back door together with Nash and Baggins. Nash and I hid upstairs behind a velvet curtain in the alcove by the window. At two o'clock, Symington's door opened, and he walked into Megan's room through the stairs. I didn't move because I knew Officer Baggins was behind Megan's door, I knew Baggins was a good guy, knew what he was doing, and I knew I couldn't keep quiet and make no noise.

I was waiting to come in with my heart pounding. Simmington came out with Megan in his arms and walked downstairs. Nash and I followed carefully. He carried her into the kitchen and put her head on the gas stove, and as soon as he turned on the gas, Nash and I went into the kitchen and turned on the light. That was the end of Richard Symington, he was completely broken.When I turned off the gas and pulled Megan up, I knew he was broken. He didn't struggle at all, because he knew that he had played the last card, and if he lost, he would lose everything. I took Megan to the upstairs room and waited for her to wake up, swearing at Nash from time to time.

I looked at Megan and said, "It's been so long, she still hasn't woken up." "Didn't you hear what Dr. Griffey said? The heart and pulse are normal—she'll sleep and wake up naturally. He said he often gave patients this medicine." Megan moved and murmured something. Inspector Nash politely left the room. Megan opened his eyes immediately. "Jerry." "Hi honey." "Am I doing well?" "Perhaps you have lived by extortion since you were born?" Megan closed her eyes again, and said in a low voice, "Last night, I was going to write to you—I was afraid in case something happened, but I was too sleepy to finish, and the letter is over there. "

I went to the desk and found Megan's unfinished letter in an old notebook. It says: "My dearest Jerry: I was reading a Shakespeare poem in an old textbook that started like this: "You are to me, Just like life cannot do without food, The land cannot do without sweet rain. " "I found that I still love you after all..."
