After a while, Jack heard a knocking outside the door.
Then came the voice of the security guard.
"Jack, this is the security guard. Are you at home?"
He habitually glanced outside through the surveillance camera.
But soon Jack frowned.
Because there was not only the security guard standing at the door, but also a woman holding a child.
Although she was wrapped in a thick down jacket, Jack knew she must be the Mom X.
"What is she doing here?"
Jack still had a good impression of the security guard, but he didn't have much friendship with Mom X.
Moreover, due to his previous experience and judgment, he always felt that this woman was not simple.
Jack stood up from his chair and walked to the door.
Janice only glanced at it, but did nothing. Jack was the master of this house.
Jack came to the door but didn't open it. 'Is that the security guard?'
He knew the reason and asked.
The security guard said, "Yes, it's me."
At this moment, Mom X behind him preemptively said, "Jack, our sugar treasure has a high fever that hasn't subsided. Can you help her?"
Her voice had a crying tone.
Jack took out a box of acetaminophen suspension drops and a box of Cold Spirit that had been prepared long ago, and threw them out from the shooting hole on top. "Hurry up and take the medicine to give to the child! Being sick is not a small matter at this time."
The security guard quickly picked up the medicine on the ground, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Jack, thank you, thank you so much!"
Mom X took the medicine over.
The security guard intended to walk with her, but a strange light flashed in her eyes.
She spoke up, 'Jack, I beg you something. Can you let the baby stay at your house for a while?'
"I know you have a heater at home, which is relatively warm. But our house is quite cold."
"The baby is sick now, and I'm worried she might freeze. Can you help us with this?"
The security guard next to her paused for a moment.
When she came, Mom X didn't tell him about this.
He felt a bit embarrassed in his heart, as he had not communicated with Jack before coming.
Now Mom X suddenly proposed to put him in the middle, which was very embarrassing.
But seeing Mom X's sorrowful gaze, he didn't know what to say.
In the room, Jack's mouth curled slightly when she heard Mom X's words.
Was insatiable?
"Is that Mom X? I'm sorry, but at this critical moment, I can't let anyone in. And our coal is almost burned out, to be honest, the temperature isn't much higher than outside."
Jack would not be moved by her words.
Mom X said it was for the sake of the child.
But neither he nor Janice had experience in taking care of children, and even if they did, he was too lazy to do such a useless thing.
So once the child was released, Mom X can also follow in under the guise of taking care of the child.
It's easy to ask God, but difficult to send God away. If she had some malicious intentions, wouldn't Jack have to be on guard 24 hours a day?
He didn't have to put in that effort!
Upon hearing Jack's words, the security guard also whispered to Mom X, "Jack is good enough to us. He even sent medicine to the child. Let's go back and cover ourselves with more clothes, we won't be able to freeze."
Mom X wiped away her tears and cried, "What do you know as a man? Babies are so small and very fragile."
She said to Jack inside the door again, "Jack, I know this request is a bit inappropriate. But I really have no choice."
"I know you have a kind heart, that's why I shamelessly made this request."
"Please, for the sake of the baby and for the sake of The security guard's face, let the baby stay at your house for a while."
At this point, even the security guard next to her was implicated.
Generally speaking, if it's not someone with a particularly strong heart, they would relax.
When you made a big request to someone, it's best to start with a small one.
So after the other party agreed to the small request, they felt embarrassed not to agree to the big request later on.
It can be seen that this woman was not simple.
Mom X deliberately did not communicate with the security guard in advance, but waited for Jack to deliver the medicine before proposing to let the baby stay at Jack's house.
But she underestimated how hard Jack's heart was.
Jack stood by the door with his arm in his arms. " Mom X, if this request were made before the end of the world, I would definitely agree," he said
"Now you know, everyone in this building wants to rob my house and take my life."
"I'm really scared, I dare not let strangers in."
'I believe you can understand me too, right? The security guard, you should understand, right?"
The security guard nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, he felt very awkward in the middle, but his gratitude towards Jack made him unwilling to continue bothering him.
"Yes, Jack is already good enough to us! Otherwise, who would be willing to give us medicine? Do you know how difficult it is to get medicine now? "Mom X bit her lip and didn't argue with the security guard, just with teary eyes and a pitiful look on her face.
"But didn't he let Janice live in their house?"
Jack sneered and said, "Janice is my girlfriend. Is there any problem?"
Upon hearing this play, although Janice knew in her heart that Jack was just perfunctory, the corners of her mouth still curved slightly.
Compared to the truth, women were more concerned about men's sweet words.
Even if she knew it was fake, she would self-hypnotize and believe it was true.
Mom X furrowed her brows slightly, as if thinking about her words.
But the security guard didn't have as thick skin as her!
Jack had helped him several times, he can't afford to lose face as a gentleman!
So he pulled Mom X and said with a somewhat serious expression, 'Let's go, don't cause trouble for them. Jack is good enough to us, don't go too far!'
Seeing that the security guard was really angry, Mom X immediately changed her expression of grievance.
"I know, I don't want to do that either. It's all for the sake of the child."
The security guard said to the room, "I'm sorry, Jack. Don't argue with her like that. Thank you very much for this matter."
Jack also said, "It's okay, everyone can understand this feeling. Let's support each other."
Through surveillance, Jack saw the security guard taking Mom X and the child downstairs.
He returned to the dining table and said to Janice, 'This woman is a bit troublesome!'
Janice said disapprovingly, "Isn't there a lot of people like this?"
Jack shrugged and said, 'That's true, but I have a good relationship with the security guard. I'm afraid she will interfere with our relationship in the future.' The security guard was the ideal worker that Jack had chosen.
Jack didn't want a woman to be by the security guard's side, blowing some improper wind in his ear.
Jack's heart was a little more wary of Mom X.
At the very least, she had ambitions for the house and resources of the Jack family in her heart.
