Chapter 1099 Darkness Lurks
“Luca, it’s not an accident that you left the company for Los Angeles, right?”
Anson’s words came calmly, but slowly and slowly. There was an elusive certainty and speculation in his tone.
With a sudden movement, he grabbed Lucas's heart.
In just a short moment, there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but Lucas remained calm and looked at Anson calmly, "Where did such a guess come from?"
Everything, keep it as normal as possible.
Anson glanced sideways at Lucas and chuckled, "An intuition."
Lucas looked back and remained calm, "If this is family intuition, I I think there is no problem; I am worried that this is the intuition of the Hollywood star, who always thinks that the earth revolves around him, so there may be something to worry about."
Anson was not in a hurry and continued with a smile, "Maybe. , I can’t clearly distinguish it, but I always feel that something is wrong.”
“I know that you care about me, tolerate me, and always understand me. This is what family members should do, right? Then why do you always feel like something is wrong? ”
"After this accident, you were as sensitive as cats with fried fur. Your parents rushed back. You simply lost your job and now you even moved directly to Los Angeles."
"Remember last time? Time?”
“You were worried about me, but you rushed to Los Angeles to convince me to move, buy a house and renovate. You were busy with a lot of things, but I, the client, was idle. "
Lucas remained expressionless, but he did not turn around to look at Anson's expression, lest his eyes or expressions reveal any clues, and carefully concealed himself in the night.
Then, Lucas said, "Who makes you our favorite troublemaker?"
"If something happens to us, I believe you will come over as soon as possible."
Anson shrugged lightly, "Maybe."
"One night in the hospital, my parents thought I fell asleep and heard their conversation. "
"My mother said that she couldn't bear to lose me again."
"So, have you lost me once?"
Anson had always been vaguely aware that something was wrong. The Wood family seemed to be a little... doting, even indulgent, to him; but he never thought much about it. He took it for granted that this was what a family should be like.
However, something was always wrong.
In the depths of his soul, Anson could feel a kind of pain and struggle. It was more than just sadness. It was a kind of coldness mixed with fear, anxiety and despair, deeply rooted in the innermost part of his memory, dragging it with him. He kept falling slowly.
This doesn’t make sense.
Be it sadness, pain, or depression, the root of everything can’t be found.
Anson didn't understand, if his predecessor had such a happy family, why did he always feel the struggle of being suffocated?
Anson has not forgotten how he traveled through time:
The bathroom. White powder.
Of course, there are other explanations for these things. After all, Hollywood is a carnival party. Maybe the predecessor was enjoying his own little party and accidentally ODed. Such things often happen.
But the details, gathered one after another, revealed something unusual.
Even when he heard the conversation between the Woods and his wife in the hospital, he did not break the silence. On the one hand, he suspected that he was half asleep and might not understand it; on the other hand, he did not have definite evidence and facts to raise suspicions, but was worried about exposing his vest. .
However, Anson had no answer.
He thought that maybe he and the original owner's souls were not completely integrated, so he lost part of his memory; but as time went by, those feelings became stronger and stronger, but there was always a gap left unfilled.
A kind of uneasiness, a kind of confusion, lurking like an invisible bomb.
Until now.
Lucas resigned and was heading to Los Angeles.
That intuition is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that it almost swallows up reason.
Anson feels that the Wood family is protective of him, even overly doting on him. No matter what happens, they always react immediately——
Remember? Anson never answered the phone, and Lucas even found Edgar after searching; and later added Noah to stay with him all the time.
These little things, seemingly ordinary, quietly plant a seed.
Take root, sprout.
Finally, Anson spoke up and faced the problem head on.
Words flow calmly in the night.
Lucas did not turn his head, but he could feel Anson's eyes staring at him calmly and intently.
A little panicked.
Lucas swallowed and tried to keep himself calm and steady. Although his fingertips had begun to sweat, he still controlled himself.
Then, turn around.
Lucas met Anson's gaze, "I think you heard wrong."
The eyes collided in the night.
Anson stared at Lucas quietly, and finally raised his chin slightly, "Yes, that's right? I must have heard wrong. I was just worried that something like this would happen. Everything was just my own random imagination, so I didn't ask my mother. .”
Lucas breathed a sigh of relief.
Anson's words did not stop, "Luca, did I tell you? I was close to death once when I was auditioning for 'Friends'."
" Suspected to be OD. "
In an instant, Lucas's breath was cut off. He tried to say something but found that he could not make any sound at all, and his heart exploded in his chest.
No!
Lucas clenched his hands into fists, and the muscles in his whole body were tense to the extreme. All reason and restraint disappeared without a trace at this moment.
But Anson remained calm, holding a cocktail and looking at the stars quietly.
“Should I blame myself?”
“I don’t know what happened, and I don’t know what is lurking in the dark, but something seems to be staring at me eagerly, and I Not sure if it will attack, not sure if it’s my own imagination.”
"I tried to get rid of it, I tried to escape, I tried to go down the rabbit hole, and then silently hoped that the world would quiet down and I could completely ignore the uneasiness."
"But..."
To be honest, Anson didn’t know how to express it.
Then, Anson fell silent——
This was the first time, the first time since time travel.
Anson also thought that since he couldn't remember it, since the Wood family didn't mention it, and since those memories didn't seem to play any role, he would continue to act crazy.
This is to protect your vest and avoid exposing yourself; it is also to protect your mental health. There is no need to uncover some scars.
Some secrets should remain secret forever. The truth does no one any good.
So, Anson kept his mouth shut obediently.
However, things are not that simple.
In the process of getting along, they became closer and more familiar. Unknowingly, they had already broken through the realm of strangers and became an inseparable part of each other's lives; and the uneasiness and sadness hidden deep in their souls , fear and pain are always ready to move.
Perhaps, escaping is not the solution after all.
Perhaps, they need to face the truth calmly one day, not only him, but also Lucas and the others, otherwise the wounds will never heal.
So, Anson broke the silence and at the same time broke the last barrier between them.
