The Gallagher House.
Frank, who had indeed been beaten severely before and had been completely ignored by Fiona and the others for the past two days, saw Monica at a glance. He was instantly beside himself with excitement. Immediately after, he decisively wailed and called out to Monica, putting on an act as if he were about to die. "Monica, help me, help me quickly..."
The fact is, no matter what was going on between this husband and wife pair, Frank and Monica, when they were being affectionate, there was love between them, and quite a lot of it.
Case in point.
Hearing Frank wail like this, Monica didn't waste a second. She immediately rushed to Frank's side in a panic, her face full of nervousness. "Oh! Frank, what happened to you..."
Before long.
The crazy couple, Frank and Monica, started being nauseatingly affectionate right there.
Fiona watched for a few seconds and couldn't help but feel nauseated too, wanting to vomit. She hurriedly looked away and smiled at Jimmy. "Go upstairs and rest for a while?"
"Rest" certainly didn't mean actually resting. Jimmy understood instantly and nodded with a smile.
Fiona then turned to Ian and Carl, taking out over ten dollars from her pocket. "You two buy something to eat outside for lunch. I'm tired."
Just then.
A thought flashed through Fiona's mind.
Is Lip, who indeed brought a lot of trouble to this family in the past year, that burden?
Fiona knew the answer, it's just, how to put it... Fiona wasn't willing to face it.
Actually, in this moment, not only did Fiona not feel tired at all, but she felt very relaxed... as if a heavy burden on her shoulders had suddenly vanished.
Ian took the money; Carl had money and didn't take it.
The two didn't say much more, simply said goodbye to Fiona, and left nimbly.
Fiona didn't pay much attention to them either. Feeling relaxed, she went upstairs with Jimmy and entered the room.
Fiona closed the door casually, then with a face full of flirtation, reached out and pushed Jimmy onto the bed, smiling. "I have to thank you properly."
The phone rang once. Jimmy took out his phone a bit impatiently. Taking a look, his brows instantly furrowed slightly, and he subconsciously shifted his gaze to look at Fiona.
Fiona had already knelt down and didn't notice the change in Jimmy's expression.
Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the phone again with annoyance.
On the phone was a text message, sent by Tony.
The content of the text wasn't complicated, just one sentence, telling Jimmy to take photos and videos of fxxking Fiona.
Ding.
Jimmy naturally knew what Tony wanted these things for...
The internet is a very scary thing...
But prison is even scarier!!!
So, even though he knew doing this was really bad, Jimmy gritted his teeth and chose to comply.
Jimmy understood. He smiled brilliantly. "I'm waiting."

ITC Company.
Eddie was truly very happy.
This was very interesting.
His colleague clearly sensed the change in Eddie and asked curiously, "Eddie, what's wrong with you today? Did something good happen?"
Hope is indeed a very powerful thing.
"Yeah, something good," Eddie replied with a smile. "My wife Sheila walked out of the house today."
The colleague was surprised. "Oh? Doesn't she have agoraphobia? She's cured?"
Eddie nodded. "Looks like it. This kind of thing can happen. Back then, she also suddenly got agoraphobia... However, we can't celebrate too early yet. Maybe it's just a coincidence, and she'll revert in two days."
The colleague smiled. "Anyway, congratulations... So, you're happy because you can get your life back?"
The two had worked together for so many years and knew each other well. The colleague guessed this was the case.
Eddie didn't hide it either. "Back then, we drifted apart gradually because she hid at home and dared not go out. Now, if she can recover, I indeed want to try hard to make our family normal again."
"Wish you success," the colleague said sincerely.
"Thanks," Eddie smiled back.
Soon, the two ended their chat and started working.
While working, Eddie, who really hadn't seen hope in life for many years and had almost given up, couldn't help but think of home again.
Maybe I can buy a bouquet of flowers, oh no, buy two bouquets to take back, Eddie suddenly thought of this, feeling that Sheila and Karen should be happy to receive flowers.

The South Side is a big place, but regarding the spread of information, it is a very small place.
Karen had long heard about Lip's arrest and guessed there would be a result today. After thinking about it, she sent a text to Jimmy: [Has Lip been released?]
Jimmy, who had finished the battle with Fiona and was driving towards Estefania's place, saw the text, grinned, and nimbly replied, briefly explaining the result.
Karen saw it and was instantly amused.
Can't help it.
How long has it been? That idiot Lip got himself back into juvie again.
More importantly, it was basically history repeating itself...
Last time Lip was in juvie, she visited and told him the news of her pregnancy. Afterward, Lip got beaten up quite a bit in juvie.
This time, she was pregnant again. Haha, go tell Lip again?
Karen found it incredibly amusing just thinking about it. Immediately, without hesitation, she texted Dexter, asking if she should do it.
Dexter was busy in the restaurant while pondering how to deal with those scumbags.
In the past two days, the number of people on the purge list had increased to fifteen.
Enough, time to play.
Hearing his phone ring, Dexter took it out to look. Then, after pondering for a moment, he replied: [Mind marrying another man?]
Karen saw it and froze slightly.
Mind?
Doesn't mind... provided Dexter pays.
[Sure, with whom?] Karen texted back with a smile.
[Go check out the nearby Sex Addicts Anonymous group. Find a middle-aged man named Jody. Try to get in touch with him,] Dexter replied.
Karen saw this and was very curious who this Jody was, but she didn't ask more. [Okay.]
[Get in touch with Jody for a few days, become boyfriend and girlfriend, then go visit Lip in juvie. Take Jody with you and tell Lip that Jody will be the father of the child,] Dexter said again.
[No problem!] Karen saw this and instantly got excited, feeling that doing this would be truly goddamn stimulating.
[Talk later,] Dexter replied.
Karen didn't waste words. She put away her phone, rolled her eyes, didn't waste time, got straight into her car, and went to find the Sex Addicts Anonymous group Dexter mentioned.

The Gallagher House.
Fiona got her period. As a result, there were no tampons left at home.
Thinking about it, Fiona went to find Monica to see if Monica had any.
"I don't have any right now either. Wait a moment, I'll go buy some for you immediately," Monica said very excitedly, happy that Fiona was willing to seek her help.
"Thanks," Fiona knew Monica had no money, so she took money out of her pocket, handed it to Monica, and thanked her.
Monica chuckled, didn't dawdle, and walked quickly out of the Gallagher house very happily.
