The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

He sold his lifeblood.

Chapter 33

Raymond looked at the cramped hut,

Suddenly feeling a little emotional.

The predecessor was originally an orphan,

Here are his memories of nearly 20 years.

Even if it is Raymond who passed through,

Hearing this suddenly,

Also a little overwhelmed.

"I heard from Susan next door that your college is going to have an annual competition... I heard that the casualty rate is very high in that competition... Dad doesn't want you to participate in that kind of cruel competition... It doesn't matter if we are poor, As long as it's safe and sound..."

Old Mark looked at Raymond who was lost in thought, fearing that he would be burdened, so he spoke again.

"Dad knows that you don't want to be a boiler worker for the rest of your life, but don't put too much pressure on yourself... This potion will be your coming-of-age gift from Dad, and it will also be the last gift from Dad. Dad is incompetent, he can't buy you better potions, and he can't keep Bella, their mother and daughter..."

Those turbid eyes shone on the vicissitudes of old Mark's face, as if there were waves of light surging.

Working in coal piles and boilers for many years, the sallow skin seems to be soaked in a layer of ink, the oil is shiny, and it looks a little older.

This is an ordinary old boiler worker whose life is coming to an end.

He wants to seize the few good things in this world that he misses.

His only concern.

......

Only then did Raymond finally understand why Papa Mark still endured Bella being so mean.

After being a bachelor for most of his life, he was too lonely.

He is also afraid of being alone.

Raymond thought for a while and asked, "Father, are you planning to sell the house and hide? Because of the usury 'Tea Beard'?"

Old Mark acquiesced,

He couldn't pay that debt, and he didn't intend to.

"In the future, you will stay in the academy more. Although the tea beard is powerful, he dare not put his hand in the academy."

Hearing this, Raymond couldn't help but feel sour.

Old Mark had not only sold his house, but he might have given up his boiler job, which he had worked his entire life on.

He didn't intend to keep the money from selling the house, but used it to buy the last potion for Raymond.

He didn't want his son to be like himself, a boiler worker all his life, and live in the poor neighborhood of District 23 forever.

Old Mark cut off all his escape routes,

Probably next time I will be caught by someone with a tea beard.

His old life is not so lucky, and he can stay.

He didn't leave a way out for himself,

In exchange for giving his son Raymond the last chance to advance to the extraordinary.

He wants his son...

To succeed.

......

Hear this,

Raymond suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

"Papa Mark, I forgot to tell you something..."

He smiled a bit forcedly, and told a white lie, and said in relief: "Didn't I save Princess Irene last time? Later, she gave me a lot of money to reward me. I originally planned to go to tea beard tomorrow The money was returned..."

Old Mark's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Like a gleam of hope rising from the ashes of despair,

His whole body came alive,

The depression was swept away, and suddenly I became energetic.

Raymond said half-truth again: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Bella, she got 15 quarks!"

"Bella..."

When Bella was mentioned, Mark's expression darkened immediately.

Raymond comforted: "Papa Mark, don't be sad. I will find you a better one when I make money!"

"She probably stole money that was supposed to be yours."

Old Mark let out a long sigh,

He knows his wife too well,

Oh no, it's the ex-wife now.

Lei Meng didn't pursue the meaning of the money at first, but instead said: "I heard that they are living a good life, and they are planning to move to the [-]th district."

"That prodigal girl, even if she has a little money, she doesn't know how to save it."

Old Mark cursed angrily.

The mean old boiler man is back.

Raymond smiled and said: "It's okay. I, Princess Irene, have a very good relationship now, so you don't have to worry about money...the house doesn't need to be sold, I will bring some money back tomorrow and let you redeem the house .”

"Oh~ the little princess is really a beautiful and kind angel!"

Old Mark praised, with joy in his eyes.
