Capítulo 1637: Chapter 1616: Statue Gao Yang pressed the doorbell. Gao Yang held the gun case behind his back. He thought it should be Morgan who came to open the door, but he hadn’t decided whether to give the gun case to Morgan immediately or play a little tease first. Soon, the door opened, but to Gao Yang’s surprise, it was Bob who opened it. Bob was a bit thinner, more muscular, and after spending so much time drifting on the sea around the Gulf of Aden, he had finally achieved his wish of getting a tanned complexion. “Gao! How did you just show up out of nowhere?” “Bob! When did you get back?” Bob spread his arms wide, gave Gao Yang a big hug, and then said with excitement, “So good to see you, brother. I just got back yesterday. I was planning for Lucy to give birth soon. And you? You came back for Lucy too, right?” Gao Yang nodded and smiled, “Yes, Lucy is about to have the baby. I had to come back to see. What about your father, is he back?” Bob laughed, “Yes, he is. He asked me to open the door. I was wondering who it was. Come on in. Wow, and who is this beautiful lady?” Gao Yang turned to look at Karima, smiled, and said, “Karima, my friend, um, also my assistant.” With a big grin, Bob extended his hand toward Karima and loudly said, “Hello, my name is Bob Reeves, just call me Bob.” Gao Yang looked slightly helpless, while Karima shook hands a bit reservedly with Bob, then stood by with a serene expression. Bob didn’t seem to mind at all and, after greeting Little Donnie and Taylor, loudly said, “Come in, come in, everyone, welcome. Hey Gao, what have you been up to lately?” While chatting and laughing, Bob walked with Gao Yang inside and whispered in his ear, “Does she have a boyfriend? You know what I mean.” Gao Yang smiled and said, “Buddy, stop dreaming. Also, you could have a little more ambition.” Follow current novels on novęlfire.net As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yang saw Morgan standing in the living room waiting for him. Morgan was thinner than before, but he looked very spirited. He spread his arms and smiled at Gao Yang, “Gao, I noticed you brought a gun case. Let me guess, did you find something good again?” Gao Yang laughed heartily and loudly said, “Absolutely, found some treasures. I picked one for you. Hope you’ll like it.” Gao Yang held the gun case in one hand and gave Morgan a hug with one arm. After separating, Morgan briskly rubbed his palms together and laughed, “Quick, you always bring surprises. Let me see what good stuff you found this time.” Gao Yang took a step back, offered the gun case with both hands, and smiled, “Luckily, this time I didn’t call to wake you up from bed. Now, please enjoy.” Morgan took the gun case, turned, and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Then he smiled at everyone, “Sit, all of you sit. I must open this gift now. This is a very exciting moment.” Sitting on the sofa, Morgan eagerly opened the gun case, looked at Gao Yang, and smiled, “Even with the gun cover? Though it’s modern, I suppose if you wrapped it, it must be good. You always lack the necessary care for antiques.” Gao Yang shrugged, then remembered something very important, so he immediately said, “Forgot to ask, is your heart okay? I mean, you don’t have heart disease, do you?” Morgan patted his chest and laughed, “My heart is very healthy, always has been.” After speaking, Morgan smiled, “Let me see what treasure it is, making you worry whether my heart could handle it.” While speaking, Morgan opened the gun cover. As soon as the gun stock was revealed, his hand stopped there, looking incredulous. He covered his mouth, said nothing, opened the cover some more, and then looked up, staring fixedly at Gao Yang. Gao Yang made a gesture of invitation, only smiling, saying nothing. Morgan took a deep breath, and with hands trembling violently, he uncovered the gun completely. Then he placed his left hand across his chest, covered his mouth with his right hand, took several deep breaths, and then rubbed his face forcefully with both hands. Bob was looking shocked, while Gao Yang and the others just smiled. For a moment, there was not a sound in the spacious living room. After rubbing his face hard, Morgan put down his hands, covered his heart, then looked up at Gao Yang with a difficult expression and said, “You found it!” Gao Yang nodded, softly saying, “Yes, I found it.” Morgan looked down, staring at the gun right in front of him but didn’t reach out, only holding his heart tightly. Bob asked worriedly, “Dad, are you okay?” Gao Yang also asked with concern, “Morgan, are you alright?” Morgan, staring at the gun in front of him, voiced hoarsely, “I’m fine, don’t worry about my heart.” Gao Yang gestured with encouragement, softly saying, “Pick it up and take a look.” As the one who should pick up the gun the most, Morgan looked tense, just staring at the gun, shaking his head woodenly, “No, no, I can’t pick it up. I know I’m not dreaming, but I’m still afraid that once I pick it up, it will disappear immediately.” When something that carried two generations of a family’s wishes and something both father and son worked for all their lives suddenly appears, any reaction is actually quite normal. Morgan stared at the gun in front of him, too afraid to reach out. Gao Yang went over, picked up the gun, placed it in Morgan’s involuntarily extended hands, and softly said, “Take a good look. You won’t lose it, never again.” Gripping the gun tightly, a hand extended, trembling extremely, lightly stroked it back and forth a few times. Morgan suddenly looked up, nervously at Gao Yang, stammering, “You, you, this, this gun, no, it’s not, you didn’t, it isn’t a replica, right?” Gao Yang smiled and said softly, “I assure you, it’s absolutely not a replica. This is the gun we’ve been looking for, no doubt about it. No need to doubt, no need to worry, it’s in your hands.” As Morgan carefully examined the gun again, he suddenly clutched it to his chest, pressed his face against the barrel, and remained still. After a long while, Morgan still didn’t move. He maintained the same posture for at least five minutes. Gao Yang looked a bit worried, and Bob also looked tense. After exchanging a glance with Gao Yang, Bob swallowed and softly said, “Father, father…” “I’m alright, just let me be quiet for a while, just me and her, please let me be alone with her for a while.” Bob nodded, made a gentle gesture to Gao Yang, then the group quietly left the living room, leaving Morgan alone, still sitting on the sofa, holding the gun tightly, head down, motionless, just like a statue.
