Jack said unwillingly, trying to remind him. "Please recall. When I was saving people, my right leg was cut by a big piece of glass. The blood soaked my trouser leg. You…

If it really worked, why go to work? If it didn't, at most she'd be late and lose three dollars in salary. Norma opened the box, took out the key from…
