Chapter 44 Special Wine
Chapter 44 Special Wine
Standing in front of the familiar bar on the familiar street, Jack let out a sigh in his heart, the youth in the past was so dazzling that it made him jealous.
"Why don't I just go to the medical school with you and recollect your past youth? Why are you standing here and feeling sad for the good thing? If you cry, I'm not in the mood to coax you." Cary looked at Jack and gave him such a mocking remark and went straight into the bar.
"Cary, if you can be less sharp tongued, I will definitely kneel down to thank God for his help." Jack shouted at Cary from behind, and finally followed him in reluctantly.
After so many years, the bar remained unchanged, except that its popularity was no longer as it used to be. The cottage was still the same one he had lived in. Jack had been keeping glancing at it since he opened the door, everything had changed, just like he and Bess.
"Hello guys, what would you like to drink?" The voice of Fred came from the bar counter, he carefully mixed some drinks in his hand.
Jack and Cary sat in front of the bar counter, took off their coats casually, and put them on the back of the chair.
"Boss, do you have any specially made wine here?" Jack said experienced.
"Special wine? Is this the favorite drink of all the students in the medical school nearby a few years ago? Are you schoolmates? " When he heard the word of Jack, Fred was surprised and looked up at the two men.
"Yes, but only me, I haven't come here since I graduated, I didn't expect that your bar is still here." Said Jack, looking at the bar counter. The wines in the bar seemed to be very valuable, but here was so
quiet, so he was surprised. "There should be a lot of people right now. But why..." Jack began to look at the man in the bar counter. There was only one person in the bar, not even a waiter?
"The business has been at the worse point for a few years, after something bad happened a few years ago, no student in the medical school was allowed to come to this street. It has been desolate for many years, and I'm used to it now." While he was talking, Fred had made a reservation of two glasses of wine and placed them in front of Cary and Jack. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"If I remember correctly, you are not the boss of this bar before, are you? Are you also a student of the medical school?" Jack asked tentatively.
"I studied medicine for two years, which is not as good as those top students in medical school. I once worked in this bar, and as a tinge student of your school, I knew that I am not good at medicine, so I gave up early. Fortunately, I took over this small bar, thus making a live." Fred wiped his hands with the tablecloth on the bar counter and said to Jack with a self-mockery smile.
"Don't you have other servers?" Jack picked up the glass in front of him and took a sip, sure enough, it was the same taste in his memory.
"I have one, who is not as calm as I am, and she has just gone out for a walk," Said Fred in a careless manner. "Help yourselves to the drink and just take the wine in my counter, then I won't bother you." Then Fred left the bar counter and sat on the sofa, which was next to the window.
Over the years, many sad customers had come to his bar, after listening to those frivolous stories, he felt exhausted. His bar was like a box of memory about his youth, while others only came here occasionally to recall, but he always lived here, as if he had been exhausted and inhabited here.
"Did you and Bess drink this kind of wine before?" Cary tasted it and the pungent taste spread along his tongue, rushing his throat like a fire, he had never drunk such strong alcohol before.
"Yes, she loves to drink and said that there is freedom in the wine. I don't know how she could say such childish and precocious words in the past." Jack held the wine glass as if he has been sunk in memory.
"Why did you ask me out today? What happened again? Did you quarrel with your girlfriend again? Jack finally couldn't help asking Cary.
"We're not having a quarrel, we've already broken up." Cary drank a glass of wine, and his face was a little red. "Besides, I had a five-year-old child, isn't life like a drama?"
Cary took up another bottle and filled the glass, now his angular features were not as cold as before, frowning and sad were all on his face.
"A child? Are you serious, Cary? Did your girlfriend gave you a child? How did it happen? Why didn't you tell me about it before?" Jack couldn't believe Cary's words!
"It's not Yvonne, it's Rae! When I broke up with Rae five years ago, she was pregnant, I didn't know that until recently. Cary frowned again, with no more expression on his face.
"Rae? And when did she appear? Do you forget how much she hurt you five years ago? Will you get back to her?" Jack raised his voice, it's really a stupid thing in Cary's mind!
"But we do have a child. What can I do! I've seen that child, she is very cute, I don't want her to live without father in the future." No one knew better than himself how serious the issue was when Cary had one more glass of wine!
"What about your little girlfriend? "
"She doesn't know yet, but it's over between us." Cary's eyes had become a little hollow because of being a little drunk. The name of Yvonne was still like a thorn in his heart, bleeding every time he mentioned it.
Jack didn't expect that he hadn't seen Cary only for a few days, it seemed that his life had experienced a lot, he couldn't say any comforting words but only put his hand on Cary's shoulder, which gave him some strength intangibly.
Cary, as a business leader, had won numerous power and money at a very young age, but he was still helpless and confused when it came to love. Yvonne was the only person in his heart that could not be mentioned at this moment.
Bess sneaked out of the bar, and finally plucked up the courage to go to the clinic of Jack. However, she did not expect the door to be closed! Bess didn't give up and went to the place where Jack lived, she had waited there for a long time, but did not see him. Was he afraid that she would come to him so he had moved out? Bess knew it might be possible, but she didn't think she would make Jack so afraid of her.
Bess didn't give up until the sun set and nearly fell asleep at the door of Jack's.
