Chapter 8 Prison Cell 03
"My lord will find a way to get you out."
Duncan didn't want to hear Priscilla's confession, it made him feel as if... denied.
Priscilla rolled over, and Duncan picked him up and let him lean into his arms. Priscilla was thin, very thin, his cheekbones were prominent, and the bony knots in his shoulders and arms were also obvious.Duncan was afraid that if he tried hard, the person in his arms would shatter.
"Puscilla, did they do anything to you?" Duncan was afraid that Puscilla would be treated unfairly in prison. Because of the low crime rate in society and the low utilization rate of prison cells, almost no one knew what "being in prison" looked like. Duncan was very worried. .
"This will absorb my strength." Pushella showed off the orange bracelet on her wrist, and Duncan took the skinny hand and rubbed it gently.
"Can't you take it off?"
Even though their cells are clean, with food, lighting, and cushions, the design seems to be very humane, but have you ever seen a prison cell with handcuffs? ——They have developed too extreme, this race is too powerful, there are no guarded cells, and it is impossible to detain people.
"Puscilla, you have to be strong, and things will pass." Duncan could only comfort Priscilla in this way, he was the first and only visitor since Priscilla was imprisoned, "By the way, our child is a boy. "
"Male?" Pushila's tone became a little more energetic.
"Yes, don't you go to see the embryos every day? If you are not here, I will go for you."
"You still go for me..."
"For the sake of the child, you cannot fall down here."
Priscilla's eyes regained a little focus at first, but immediately dimmed again, "Why..."
"what why?"
"Why would you do that for me? You can leave me alone!"
"I won't leave you, no more."
Pushila closed her eyes, sniffing the good smell, "I'm sorry, Duncan, I have troubled you."
"do not talk……"
"If I hadn't hacked the system, if I had followed the rules, none of this would have happened, I... I would still visit you at the barracks, maybe we could be friends, introduce our kids to each other...you could get a match too A good partner, a partner who won't get you into trouble, won't embarrass you."
"What are you talking about...Puscilla...you are my best mate!" Otherwise he wouldn't have come to see him!
Duncan hugged Priscilla tightly, regardless of whether the other's body could bear it or not.
He doesn't care what outsiders say, look at, or suggest.
He knew that the "right" thing to do now was to stay away from Pushila—just like staying away from germs and scourges—because Pushila made him unable to match him with the most suitable partner, and he should protest to the parliament, but he didn't want to do that at all. Doing it, he felt that it was meaningless, and it was not what he really wanted.
Getting along during this time was not in vain, not in vain.
The emotional connection couldn't be more real.
"Am I?" Priscilla asked in disbelief, after he had made so many "mistakes", this man was still willing to be by his side?Oh, he's starting to worry about Duncan's safety...
"Yes you are!"
"I am infinitely grateful." Priscilla forced a smile, and Duncan kissed his chapped lips. This kiss made Priscilla very sad, because he knew that they could not go back to their old life.This kiss is like a parting, he should make a "plan", just like he has always been used to, "Duncan, promise me, you will protect our child and let him be born smoothly."
"He will be born! Priscilla, you need to eat and conserve your strength, or you will collapse before you see the baby born!"
"No..." Pushila thought of something, her eyes widened suddenly, "They won't allow it..."
"Who?"
"They!" Pushila grabbed Duncan almost with all his strength, like a drowning man grabbing driftwood. He clasped Duncan's neck with both hands, and leaned into Duncan's ear, "Promise me, you won't let them Unplug it!"
"them?"
Pushila put one hand on Duncan's cheek, their eyes were eye to eye, their foreheads were close together, even at this moment, they still wanted to stick to each other, "They...the council won't let the baby live, once they pull out the Remove the plug, stop the supply of electricity and nutrients, and the embryo will die."
Like aborting a pregnancy.
"Why is the council—"
