Chapter 339 With Jimmy's shriek piercing the air, I splashed my coffee right in his face.
Jimmy, who had been sitting, leaped up instantly, frantically wiping the coffee off his face and cursing, "What's wrong with you, lady? Acting all crazy?" Holding the now empty coffee cup, I pointed it straight at him. "Try messing withagain, and next tit won't just be coffee.

"A few times," I said, tossing the used wipe into a nearby trash can.
Dustin fell silent, and I didn't dwell on the incident, instead mentioning, "Herschel's probably in the hospital by now, right?" "Yeah, he's in room 812 at Mercy Tower." I nodded, "I'll visit him later then." "Alright, I'll pick up sstuff. You go on ahead," Dustin suggested, lettingleave first.

"Deal," she responded eagerly, and we high-fived on the spot.
Whether Ernest would agree was another matter, but I had said it, so I went along with it.
Susie tried the coffee first. The bitterness made her frown, but she kept at it, commenting, "The aftertaste isn't bad."
"If you don't like it, don't force yourself. The milkshake is sweet," suggested not wanting her to push herself. "I want to try. Life's all about the bitter before the sweet, isn't it?" Despite her young age, Susie profound understanding wol a
Thinking about her future, I sat down beside her, "After the surgery, Your "After thes life will be as sweet as honey." Susie smiled, saying, "Of course, because I have the best brother and sister-in-law in the world."
