"Jonathan, you're not dead!" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed when her old friend Jonathan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, appeared in front of her.
Jonathan frowned and asked, pretending to be displeased: "What, you still expect me to die?"
Tangning waved her hands and said, "No, no, how could I expect you to die! It's just that the two relatives and friends around me who participated in the war died in the war, so when I saw you..."
Before Tangning could finish her words, Jonathan interrupted: "Tony, I understand how you feel. In fact, I have seen more life and death than you in the past few years. War is really cruel!"
Tangning echoed: "Yes, it would be great if there was no war. To be honest, Jonathan, I really didn't expect you to join the army and go to the battlefield!"
Jonathan smiled bitterly and replied: "Don't tell me about you. In fact, even I didn't expect it at the beginning. I don't know how it happened that day. Suddenly, I was so impulsive that I wanted to join the army. Wait until the energy passed.
Afterwards, it’s too late to regret it!”
Then he changed the topic and said: "But now it seems that this is not a bad thing, because this experience is really valuable and taught me a lot of skills and principles. The only pity is our former hometown, the once wonderful New Orleans
It will never go back to the way it was before!”
"Did you participate in the defense of New Orleans?" Tangning asked curiously.
Jonathan shook his head and replied: "No, actually I have been in Richmond, but I also know most of the situation in New Orleans. Although it is luckier than Atlanta, it was also very badly damaged! I can guarantee you, Tony
When you go back, you won’t believe it’s the New Orleans where you grew up!”
At this point, Jonathan looked around, and then whispered to Tangning: "By the way, Tony, I joined your Ku Klux Klan!"
"What do you mean by my Ku Klux Klan? This matter has nothing to do with me!" Tang Ning quickly explained.
Jonathan retorted: "How could it have nothing to do with you? Even the name of the Ku Klux Klan was invented by you, and it is said that you approved it when it was founded!"
"I admit that I invented the Ku Klux Klan, but it didn't get my approval at all. I only learned about it from the newspapers!" Tang Ning defended.
"Ah?! Tony, are you telling the truth?" Jonathan asked in disbelief.
Tangning nodded vigorously and replied, "Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?"
"Then this will be interesting!" Jonathan murmured to himself.
At this time, Morgan came over with a drink and interjected: "Okay, let's not talk about partisan issues. Let's celebrate Jonathan's safe return from the battlefield! Come on, drink!"
After drinking a few drinks, Morgan asked Jonathan: "What are your future plans? Are you going to return to New Orleans and open a manor?"
Jonathan shook his head and replied: "I don't know yet, but I plan to take a good rest for a while, because I have been really tired in the past few years!"
Tangning and Morgan both understood this very well. After all, the life-and-death environment on the battlefield is really too torture for a person's spirit, and relaxation is the best treatment method, so they both recommended several scenery.
It was a very nice place and she persuaded Jonathan to check it out. Although Jonathan nodded and agreed, Tangning could tell that his thoughts didn't seem to be there...
While the three of them were drinking and chatting, Nadine said to Keira anxiously: "Keira, can you lend me some money?"
"Nadine, how much do you want to borrow?" Keira asked casually.
Nadine hesitated, then raised a finger and replied, "A thousand dollars!"
"A thousand dollars? Why do you want so much money?" Kayla couldn't help but exclaimed.
Nadine explained: "Thomson is in the hospital, and he can't live without this thousand dollars, so Kayla, you must help me!"
"Thomson? Is that the little guy who helped you escape from New Orleans?" Kayla asked.
Nadine nodded and replied: "Yes, that's him! Without him, it would have been impossible for me to escape from Old Hurd intact, let alone come to New York, so I must save him!"
Although Nadine does have a thousand dollars on hand, if she borrows it, she won't have much left, and with Kayla's income, she won't be able to come up with such a large amount of money in the short term or even within a few years.
, as a good friend it is not convenient for me to urge her. Thinking of this, Keira suddenly had an idea in her mind.
Then he asked Nadine: "Nadine, are you sure that one thousand dollars is enough? Are there no follow-up expenses?"
As expected, Nadine nodded and replied: "The doctor did say that there will be follow-up medical and recovery expenses, but I can't think about that much for the time being. Let's save him first and then talk about it!"
"Nadine, let me tell you the truth. I only have more than five hundred dollars on hand right now. Although I can lend it to you, have you figured out who to borrow the rest of the money from? And you can't pay for the subsequent treatment either.
Don’t think about it at all.”
Seeing Nadine's worried look, Keira changed the topic and said, "But, I do have a way to solve your problem in one go!"
"Oh? What can I do?" Nadine asked quickly.
Kayla replied: "This thousand dollars is a lot of money to you and me, but it is nothing to Tony, and Tony has always liked you..."
Before Kayla could finish her words, Nadine's expression changed and she asked: "Kaila, you, you asked me to be Mr. Tangning..."
This time it was Kayla who interrupted her, nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, you are Tony's lover just like me. You have also seen that Tony has always been very generous to his women!"
"But doesn't this mean I'm trying to steal a man from you?" Nadine asked in confusion.
Kayla retorted: "How can this be called robbing me of a man? Tony's wife is not me, but with your help, Tony can come to my place a few more times a month!"
"You mean you will accompany Mr. Tangning with me?" Nadine asked tentatively.
"Yes, why are you unwilling, Nadine?" Keira asked.
Nadine waved her hands and said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I have never tried to be with another woman!"
"Then give it a try. Tony especially likes two women to accompany him. I have never found a suitable helper before. If you are willing, Nadine, that would be the best!" Keira advised.
