14. Nelly's decision
Nelly exclaimed:
"Who is it?"
It couldn't be that the two "detectives" found here, the girl subconsciously looked around the room and looked at an axe that was contained in a glass case.
"Rebecca, Nelly, Jimmy, Herwin, are you here?" said a familiar man's voice from outside the door.
The empty eyes of the woman sitting on the wicker chair gradually brightened.
Jimmy was the first to turn and rush to the door.
Nelly's heart was filled with surprise, but she suddenly thought of something and grabbed Jimmy:
"Wait a minute!"
Jimmy's face was furious:
"What are you doing!"
Nelly was not carried away by the surprise and remained calm:
"What if this is a trap for the bad guys, what if they have a way to pretend to be the father? Worse likely, what if the bad guys catch the father and control him in some way?"
The boy looked at his mother, hoping for her support.
Rebecca was silent for a while, and to their surprise, she didn't ask Nelly to open the door immediately:
"Your sister has a point, I can't afford to lose any more family members. ”
The man outside the door also spoke:
"Nelie is doing the right thing, Jimmy, how many times have I told you to study hard with my sister?"
Hearing his father's words, Jimmy lowered his head with some shame:
"I'm sorry, Dad. ”
Nelly stood just a door away from her father, brewing emotions.
"I'll do it. Rebecca stood beside her daughter, looking tired and hopeful.
"Where did we first meet?"
The person outside the door did not hesitate in the slightest:
"If the first time we met, it was outside your father's garden, and I was just a stupid lad, and I stammered a few words with you, and I remember my face completely red just by looking at you. ”
Rebecca didn't speak.
Ogden went on to recall:
"And even earlier, do you remember that I was in the team when you were hunting with the Count, and when I first saw you, I made up my mind that I would marry this woman for the rest of my life. ”
Nelie and Jimmy looked at their mother, Rebecca's eyes were red, she covered her mouth, and choked up:
"It's him, it's him, it's your father, he's alive. ”
Nelly patted her mother on the back and asked the next question for her:
"How did you get out of that man's hands, he didn't use any strange abilities. ”
This time Ogden was silent for a few seconds, then replied:
"Rebecca, he knocked me down and caught me at first, but they seemed to have encountered a strange creature, and when they got into a fight, I took the opportunity to slip away. ”
Jimmy hurriedly asked:
"What do strange creatures look like?"
"It seemed to be a white-skinned humanoid creature with sharp claws, and the monster was completely pressed against the two detectives, but fortunately he didn't seem to have much interest in me, so I was able to escape. ”
Jimmy laughed and said:
"I've seen that monster, and Hewen knows it! That monster really exists! What he said is true, Nelly hurry up and open the door. ”
Rebecca also looked at her daughter.
Nelly hesitated, glanced at Hara, and seeing that she didn't have any opinions, she gently opened the door.
Standing outside the door was an embarrassed Ogden.
Rebecca lunged at her husband and hugged him tightly.
Ogden patted Rebecca on the back and comforted:
"Alright, alright, it's okay, I'm back. ”
Jimmy took advantage of this time to walk up to his sister and whispered:
"Sorry, I was a little ...... just now"
Nelly shook her head and said with a smile:
"It's okay, I know. ”
Isn't Nelly angry? Of course not.
But after all, if she hadn't calmed down just now and had to deal with her family, how could they continue to keep their composure?
Besides, now that the father is back, everything is back on track, and soon they will be able to return to a peaceful and happy life, now they just need to wait for Herwin to come back.
Ogden says:
"I want to go to Wharton. ”
And all the people looked at him.
Holding Rebecca, Ogden explained:
"This happened, this place can only bring me Rebecca pain, and Nelie is also going to Wharton to go to college, in that case, why not change places and still avoid the limelight,"
Nelly has no opinion:
"Of course, when this is over, we'll leave for Wharton. ”
Ogden refused:
"No, we'll go now. ”
Everyone looked at him with amazement.
Ogden says:
"Their target seems to be that monster, and they're at a disadvantage, they won't care about us anytime soon, it's the best time to go, and there's no way they could have thought we'd leave Dawn Town. ”
Nelly's face was embarrassed:
"But, but Hewen went out to look for you, and he hasn't come back yet, what if we go away like this and he can't find us?"
Ogden looked at his daughter and said meaningfully:
"You're my family, and he doesn't need us to worry, let's just leave him a note, besides, isn't Hola here too?"
"Shall we leave this underage girl here, then?"
"Isn't it safe here? If you can't accept it, we can take her with us. ”
Hola spoke:
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting for Hewen here. ”
Ogden looked back at his daughter again:
"What are you thinking about? I know Hewen is important to you, but you have to think about your brother and your mother. ”
Jimmy suddenly proposed:
"Sister, she doesn't worry about Hewen's words, she can stay here first, if her sister leaves now, she will definitely regret it for the rest of her life. ”
Nelly didn't expect Jimmy to say what she really thought, but she still looked away:
"We can wait until Hervin comes back and have him escort us out with us. ”
Ogden said helplessly:
"Then it looks like I'm going to have to be rough with my daughter. ”
Then, the man walked up to Nelly and tried to knock her unconscious, but it was Hora who stood between the two and stopped:
"You can't fight, or Hewen will be unhappy. ”
Ogden laughed:
"I don't usually do anything to children, but it's my family, so I can only ask you to rest for a while. ”
Ogden reached out and was about to push Hara away, but Nelly said:
"Wait, Ogden, I can come with you, but you have a few questions to answer me. ”
Ogden agreed:
"Good. ”
"You're just a normal human, and you don't have any weird magic items. ”
"Of course not, and I won't hide it from you. ”
"And do you like Hara?"
"Hara, she is indeed a beautiful little girl, and although I don't hate her, she is far from liking. ”
Nelly's face gradually sank:
"There's no dislike of Hara, and you just said it, it's safe here, but how do you know it's safe, and why do you want to leave if it's safe.
"Are you really my father?"
