Chapter 68 A Big Short's Prisoner

• After lunch, Cherry Dewey went out to exercise with her grandfather. It had been six months since she could spare some time to do this so that she would enjoy it. On their way jogging, she saw a young man squatting on the side of the road, smoking a cigarette. There were many unfortunate people, and Cherry had met many of them. From the kindness of her heart, she sympathizes with them. But she didn’t expect this guy to take out his unfortunate life experience on her grandfather by cursing him to die. Immediately, she became angry, glared at Leonard, and said, “What’s wrong with you? My grandfather didn’t provoke you to deserve such a vicious curse. “If you don’t give a good reason for that today, don’t blame me for giving you a lesson.” Cherry held her fists tight and stared straight at him as she said that. Although she looked tame, she had a black belt in Taekwondo. Leonard realized the other party had misunderstood him and immediately said, “Look, young lady, your grandfather has a brain disease and should not be exercising strenuously. It must be treated as soon as possible before it’s too late, or he could die.” “That is nonsense.” Cherry Dewey gritted her teeth angrily. “Forget it, Cherry. People who are unhappy and take out their grievances on others, like this guy is doing. They fill themselves with negative energy. So there is no point in arguing with him.” The old man said to his granddaughter.
• Afterward, they continued their jogging. Leonard kept on saying, “What I said is true. If you continue to run, you may pass out after three minutes and die in ten. “That’s all I can tell you, believe it or not.” And then, Leonard put out the cigarette, got up, and left. After Leonard left, Cherry grumbled, “Grandpa, why don’t you let me teach him a lesson? Da mn, this guy.” The old man smiled. “This kind of rotten person is useless. He only knows about complaints and being harmful to society. Haggling with him will only lower our level. Okay, let’s keep running.” After speaking, the old man took the lead in running. After about 30 feet, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell straight to the ground. His whole face had turned blue-purple. All of a sudden, he was having trouble breathing. At that moment, Cherry turned pale with shock, “Grandpa, what’s wrong with you? Grandpa…” The old man was non-responsive.
• With Leonard’s words still fresh in mind, Cherry put aside her pride, quickly got up, and chased after him. Fortunately, Leonard didn’t go far, and she quickly caught up with him. Blocking Leonard’s way, “Please, Sir. I was wrong. My grandfather has passed out. Please save him.” Leonard pouted. “I’m just trashy man, and I can only talk nonsense. I can’t save people.” With that said, he was about to leave. Seeing that, Cherry quickly went down with both knees in front of Leonard with a plop, “I was wrong. Sir, I have mistaken you. Please save my grandpa.” She was about to kowtow to Leonard. What Leonard said was just some angry outburst. He was not going to stand by and watch someone die. So he reached down and helped the woman up, “Okay, take me back and have a look.”
