With the candy still in her mouth, Rosie took a sip and said to Carl, "Then I'm not just an ordinary kid."
Carl choked on Rosie's words, "Alright."
He turned around and met the eyes of Rosie's father. Carl covered his chest with his hands, feeling the
pain. He quietly got up from the ground and asked Leonardo, "Do you still want to fight?"
Leonardo glanced at him and said, "It will have a bad impression on the kid if we fight in front of her,
don't you know that?"
Carl twitched his lips and snorted, "Hypocrite!"
Unconsciously, he saw Jessica lying on the railing not far away and looking this way. He didn't know
how long she had been watching them.
Carl thought about himself lying on the ground while pretending to be dead just now. No matter what he
thought, it didn't look so good. Thinking of this, Carl's expression became even uglier, and he even
boldly turned around and glared at Leonardo.
Leonardo was walking towards Rosie, but when he sensed Carl's gaze, he turned around and looked
at Carl. Seeing Leonardo turn around, Carl immediately ran away.
After running for a while, he raised his head to look towards Jessica, but he did not see her again.
Carl sped up his pace and ran towards Jessica. When he walked in the door, he saw Jessica coming
down from upstairs.
Jessica glanced at him and was about to leave, Carl covered his chest with his hand and pretended to
be in pain, and peeked at Jessica.
Although he had never acted in a TV or film, nor was he a film school graduate, he had actors at his
disposal. Of course he knew how to act, and it was simply too easy to fake pain.
Jessica turned around to look at him when she heard his voice. Carl pretended to be calm and said,
"I'm fine."
Jessica snorted coldly, "Did I ask you anything?"
"No." Carl seemed to be good-tempered and even smiled at her.
After getting to know Jessica for so many years, Carl had gradually found a way to get along with her.
In the past, he had acted in front of Jessica as if he was injured or uncomfortable. However, his acting
was too exaggerated with clear intention, so Jessica would not even look at him. Later on, he learned
to hold it back.
Seeing him like this, Jessica was not sure if anything happened to him. Just now, when she saw
Leonardo and Carl fighting outside the corridor, she got really anxious.
Although Carl had some fight training when he was young, he rarely had the chance to fight with
others. Leonardo had fought with others and had actual combat experience. Carl was definitely no
match for Leonardo.
Therefore, Jessica let Rosie go. With Rosie going over, they would definitely stop the fight.
What happened there was exactly what she thought. However, she wasn't sure whether Carl was
injured or not.
Before Jessica was wondering whether she should ask him about it, Carl had turned around and
walked upstairs.
He was holding the guardrail with one hand, and clenched to the dangling at his side with the other
hand. His walking seemed to be normal, but it looked weird somehow.
Jessica couldn't help but ask him. Anyway, she called him, "Carl."
Carl was walking upstairs, his back facing her. He felt her sound was like that of an angel and turned
around.
Before he turned around, he had changed the expression on his face, "What's wrong? Is there anything
wrong?"
Jessica asked him, "Are you injured or not? Come over and let me have a look."
Carl shook his head. He looked very calm and said, "I'm fine, really."
