Prologue XIV
Prologue XIV is redundant
Siegel walked slowly to the nursing bed, and when he stood still, he fell on me, his eyes were a little curious, but he was not in a hurry to speak, but just looked at me fixedly, as if he was examining something, and after a while, Siegel finally stopped looking at me with serious eyes, he turned his gaze to look at Lux who was sitting next to me, and his golden beard turned to the side with his smile, which made people feel amiable at first sight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lux, is this the boy who saved your life?" said this, and the condescending Siegel saw my hand being held by Lux's hand, which surprised him a little, and the smile on his face became even thicker, and said: "It seems that the two of you get along well, even the little hands are held." Siegel's teasing words made Lux blush--Originally, Lux only inadvertently took the boy's hand, but inexplicably, the memories that emerged from the boy made Lux only care about watching and appreciating, so that he forgot to let go of the boy's little hand.
It wasn't until the boy woke up that Lux remembered that he hadn't let go of the boy's little hand, but Lux, who had the ability to know the other person's emotions after physical contact, felt the shock that the boy had when he woke up. When the joy was emotional, Lux also seemed to be infected by the joyful emotion, and forgot to let go of the boy's little hand for a while, and the subsequent bursts of wonderful emotions made it difficult for Lux to let go, so at this time, although he was teased a little by Siegel under this excuse, but Lux did not let go of the boy's little hand, but sneered at Siegel: "Father, how can you say that?"
"Hehe......"
Siegel just smiled and didn't answer, but the strange meaning in his light blue eyes made Lux's face even redder.
"I'm Lux's father, Siegel Klein, and thank you so much for saving Lux's life. ”
Although seriously speaking, Lux was just hurt by me, and Siegel was naturally clear about this, but it is also an irrefutable fact that Lux was saved by me, so Siegel did not look so embarrassed when he thanked me, but looked at me with appreciation in his eyes.
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency, and allow me to introduce myself, because of my amnesia, I have given myself a word, and you can just call me 'qi'. ”
Naturally, I also saw the appreciation in Siegel's eyes, but as I said the words, Siegel was obviously stunned, and he didn't seem to expect that I would explain his life history with 'amnesia', which made him frown, and his originally amiable expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes with appreciation gradually turned into sharp like a sword, piercing people's hearts.
Lux, who had planned for this for a long time, appropriately showed a shy and hidden determined expression at this time, and said to Siegel, who was still stunned by my excuse: "Father, can you let Kiki join the Klein family? ...... as someone's 'fiancé'" Lux also slightly accentuated her tone when mentioning her fiancé.
Lux's sudden words were like a bolt of lightning that instantly slashed into the minds of Siegel, Reed, and Li Yalin, and the earth-shattering sound shook their hearts and couldn't extricate themselves, even with Siegel's old calculations, they didn't expect that Lux would suddenly say such an amazing thing, so when he heard Lux's proposal, Siegel's eyes widened in shock, his face was full of incredulity, and he muttered and asked: "Lux, you, what did you just say?"
Seeing that Siegel, Reed, and Li Yalin all looked incredible, Lux looked secretly amused, but also found that his face was a little hot, but now is obviously not the time to think about it, for the smooth progress of the plan, so Lux replied shyly: "Father is really, why do you want people to repeat it?" People just said, 'Can you let Kiki join the Klein family?' As someone's 'fiancé'......, 'Oh, so shy.' ”
If she only said it once, Lux would not be shy, but when she repeated it again, the words 'fiancé' were like a flame with magical powers, and instantly ignited a raging flame in the depths of Lux's heart, which made Lux recall the sweetness called 'love' that she tasted from the boy before Siegel's arrival, and the sweetness like glue was like the sweetest pastry in the world, so that Lux who tasted such a delicious taste for the first time instantly indulged in it and couldn't extricate herself. Fiancé', three simple words contain not simple meanings, especially for Lux at this time.
After repeating it twice, Lux deeply understood the deep meaning of the word fiancé, but Lux did not resist her, because this is what she wants, and when he becomes her fiancé, she will no longer have to live a lonely, lonely, sad life alone, and even live a better life than now...... Thinking back to the taste of honey, no, even sweeter than honey, Lux couldn't help but be distracted for a while: "Tomorrow, it will definitely be better than today......" Thinking about it, Lux unconsciously bent her eyes and the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile that looked like 'happiness' to others.
When Siegel came back to his senses from Lux's reply, what caught his eye was Lux's sweet smile that was completely immersed in 'happiness', this scene was not only seen by Siegel, but even Reed and Li Yalin, who had returned to God, also saw this scene, which made Li Yalin can't help muttering in a low voice: "Lux's charm is unmatched, but this little boy's charm doesn't look bad, at least he has won Lux's love - should the hero save the beauty really perform such a bloody drama?" Li Yalin's unfinished words made Reed, who heard him mumble in a low voice, couldn't help but squint at him, and then Reed also whispered: "Isn't this good? At least His Highness Lux will have a companion who can play with her." ”
Li Yalin naturally couldn't say no, although he wanted to match Aslan and Lux more, but just looking at the happy look that Lux unintentionally showed at this time, Li Yalin knew that unless the boy in front of him did something that violated Lux's concept and disgusted Lux, his careful thinking might not be able to start.
When Siegel saw Lux's expression at this time, he knew that Luxes was not just talking, because her expression Siegel had not seen it for a long time, which made Siegel a little sentimental when he recalled all kinds of things before, but more cautious; The boy named 'Qi' in front of him may have amnesia, or he may not have amnesia at all, but these cannot deny the fact that his origin and life experience are 'question marks'.
Thinking that the boy was chased and killed by ninjas sent by the Japanese family in the East Asian Republic, from this consideration, his background must be unusual, and he should have been born in the East Asian Republic, and in the East Asian Republic, although there are many families with grudges with the Japanese family, there are really not many that can really make the Japanese family break the agreement and kill him, as far as Siegel knows, there is only the next generation heir of the He family, 'He Rui', and the Li family, which is closer to the Japanese family, is not in Siegel's consideration.
"But...... Two years ago, the Lu family and the Japanese family fought to the death, and the reason seems to be because the heir was killed by the Japanese family, right? The Japanese family is really bold enough, but unfortunately the final strength is not good, if it is not for the participation of the Li family, I am afraid that at least one of the Japanese families will fall, but with the strength of the Japanese family now, my Klein family is not afraid, let alone the Sara family to help on the side? Well, although the identity of this boy is not known for the time being, as long as I don't fall, Lux will not be affected by the trouble he has caused...... But he still needs to be tested, and I don't want Lux's future husband to be a gentleman of bad character. ”
Lux, who doesn't have much contact with outside information, naturally can't guess the boy's life experience, but Siegel, who always pays attention to politics, combined with Li Yalin's early report (referring to the fact that Li Yalin killed the ninja gang on the way here), and then Reed's related report, it was easy to conclude that the boy had the value of being killed by the Japanese family at any cost, and the characters who had this value, except for the heirs of the five major families, almost didn't think about it, but this was the reason for Siegel's confusion, and Siegel, who had dealings with the five major families of the East Asian Republic, was naturally no stranger to him, and the information about the heirs of his family was even clearer, but apparently no one among them fits the boy in front of him.
Siegel, who had already made a decision, naturally didn't bother with the life experience of the boy in front of him, as long as his identity would not bring ruin to Lux and the Klein family, although it was almost impossible, after all, the Klein family was also one of the top forces in the earth circle.
"Your name is 'Qi', isn't it?"
The serious face gradually eased as Siegel thought about it, and the silence was broken by Siegel's words that followed.
"Yes, you can call me 'Qi'. ”
Siegel's gradual softening of expression made it clear to me that Siegel had made a decision, and it was a decision in a favorable direction, which was undoubtedly a very fortunate thing for me and Lux, because Siegel did not ask any more questions about my background.
"It seems that Lux does like you very much (Speaking of which, Siegel glanced at Lux who was still in a happy state), and although I still have some doubts about your origin and background, I believe that with the energy of my Klein family, it can only be called trouble at best......"
Siegel's words are really domineering, of course, the facts are as Siegel said, he has such a domineering capital, and the incomparable confidence in his words is even more difficult to refute, and the temperament of the leader of the Zodiac Alliance is even more revealed at this time!
"Whether it's because of the hero's rescue of beauty, or for some other reason, at least Lux is willing to hold your hand, willing to let you accompany her, and even give her own lifelong happiness, although I don't know why, but I obviously can't decide Lux's future partner for life so casually, therefore, although I will not veto this proposal, it will require you to make a corresponding performance to gain my approval - to prove that you have the right to marry Lux. ”
"Father's ......"
As Siegel was gushing about her thoughts, Lux, who came back to her senses, couldn't help but become more shy when she heard what Siegel said, she knew that her plan had been successfully implemented, no, to be more precise, the results of the plan had completely exceeded Lux's expectations, and the imaginary resistance did not even exist at all, but it was also thought that with Siegel's insight and ability, what seemed to be troublesome and difficult in Casel was just a trivial matter in Siegel's eyes. For example, the question of the boy's life experience.
Of course, Siegel is not concerned about that, for him, it is the things related to Lux that he needs to pay attention to, after all, Lux is his heart.
Seeing Lux's rare shy blush, Siegel was happy, so he teased again: "Hehe, Lux, have you changed your mind now?"
"Hehe......"
Seegal couldn't help but chuckle out loud when he hurriedly shook his head, he rarely saw Lux's behavior in such a hurry, but Lux's behavior at this time also let Siegel know that Luxe attaches great importance to this boy, thinking of the happy look that Lux inadvertently showed just now, Siegel silently blessed him, and then said: "Since you haven't changed your mind, then you can sit aside and watch, and the rest of the matter will naturally be discussed by your father and Qi." Solution, after all, as a father, you can't let others kidnap your daughter like this. After that, Siegel had a little humor, but we all had a laughing and crying expression when we heard his words—it was better to say that Lux had been abducted, but that the boy had been abducted home by Lux.
"Since Lux hasn't changed his original intention, then naturally I won't change my position at will. With that, Siegel turned his gaze back to me, and then added, "I don't want to let Lux's ideas end up being wishful thinking, and while I'm confident in Lux's charisma, people are different...... So I solemnly ask you now, Qi, are you willing to give up your former family name and family and join my Klein family?"
After a pause, Siegel's expression became serious again, and said: "You must clearly know that once you join the Klein family, your surname will become 'Klein', instead of the original surname, and after joining the Klein family, you may not have the status you imagined, and there are even many rules and regulations as restrictions, so are you still willing to join the Klein family for the sake of Lux?" Siegel's inquiry is definitely difficult for ordinary people to be strong, after all, it has only been long since the two sides met, even if it is love at first sight, in the case of needing to give up their surname, I am afraid that there will not be too many people who agree.
Of course, Siegel doesn't want to disappoint Lux, but the things that must be made clear must be made clear, after all, the Klein family is not a small family, although it does not have a long heritage, but its energy is not small, and Siegel, who does not trust the boy yet, naturally cannot let the boy influence the family's decision-making, at least until the boy does not show the ability to make him agree or even admire, it is impossible for Siegel to let go of power- Although Siegel also doubted that the young boy had enough experience and means to gain the rights of the family.
"I do. ”
In Siegel's scrutinizing gaze, in Lux's expectant gaze, in Reed's and Li Yalin's complicated gaze, the boy answered without any hesitation.
The past life has long been a thing of the past, and now that I have no memory of the past, I naturally will not have the slightest burden on giving up my former surname, although it is the name given to me by the director of the orphanage, but these can only be used as nostalgia for me now; The new society, and the existence of my favorite Lux, naturally I will not be able to give up this low-hanging fruit, although it may not have power, but I believe that with my ability, as long as I have enough time, I will be able to obtain the rights I want, not to mention that the rights are not important to me at this time, after all, I was once under one man, above ten thousand, so what I want at this time is only to grasp the happiness at my fingertips- What you didn't get in the previous life, let this life make up for it.
"What a crisp answer......
Siegel was not surprised by the boy's answer, because he had already seen his will in the boy's pure dark eyes in front of him, an incomparably firm and persistent will! But Siegel still admired the boy's simple and powerful answer, and he believed that as long as the boy could study hard and adapt, the future ruler of the family would definitely have a place for him - not to mention, the boy himself was an alien with powerful abilities.
"How's your health, and while it might be rude to ask about this now, you may be able to understand how much I love Lux as a father. ”
Siegel had a faint smile on his face when he got the answer, and the golden beard also rose and fell with the movement of Siegel's mouth opening and closing as he spoke, which was very gratifying, and since the boy had already given a satisfactory answer to Siegel and Lux, Siegel naturally no longer hesitated to be a little gentle and comforting, although he still had some doubts about the boy in front of him.
"It's fine, Lord Siegel. ”
Hearing my answer, Siegel immediately frowned, and Lux was even more direct, only to see her stretch out her jade onion finger and point on the tip of my nose, her ruddy cherry lips pursed, and her dark blue eyes stared at me with dissatisfaction, and said coquettishly: "Since Qiqi has agreed to join the Klein family, how can he still call his father 'Your Excellency'?" Qiqi should be more direct!" As she spoke, as if to vent her frustration, Lux moved her jade fingers and poked my chest through the white quilt...... Lux's gesture as a little girl fully showed her charm, which made me stunned, but there was also a bit of a loving smile in my eyes.
"I see, Lux...... Father, my body is fine, and the reason why I'm in a coma is only because of the side effects of overusing my abilities. ”
I saw Siegel's frown, and Lux's expression of displeasure made me wake up to my gaffe, although a little embarrassing, but considering that I am already in the Klein family, it is obviously necessary to call Siegel 'father', and I have no resistance to this, because deep down, I also longed for a 'father'.
Although the current relationship with Siegel can only be called dull, I believe that as long as I show my ability, with the help of Lux, I will eventually be able to gain Siegel's approval, and the difference is only the length of time.
"Hmm. ”
Hearing my more detailed explanation, Siegel let go of his frowning brows with satisfaction, although he inexplicably had an extra 'son-in-law', but seeing Lux's also satisfied look, Siegel knew that compared to his own 'inexplicable', Lux was definitely 'very satisfied' with such a husband, just look at her more intimate attitude with the boy just now.
"So, let's talk about your position in the clan and the corresponding restrictions. ”
Although he intended to keep Lux happy for a little longer, considering that he would have to rush back to participate in the discussion later, Siegel thought about it for a while and threw out the topic.
This topic is undoubtedly very serious, because it will affect my future position and power in the Klein family, and of course, Lux and I have reason to believe that since Siegel is willing to let me join the Klein family, he will certainly not put forward conditions that make me too embarrassed, and it is true, just listen to Siegel: " I've heard from Reed that you have abilities, and you've affirmed that just now, you're a powerful Inhuman now, and you're going to be even more powerful in the future, but abilities don't represent everything, and you may not understand it yet, but I must tell you that even the most powerful Inhumans will bow their heads in the face of a huge force!"
As he spoke, Siegel turned his head to look at Li Yalin, who was expressionless, and said with a faint smile: "Of course, Inhumans also have feelings, so some Inhumans are willing to join a certain force, and while giving this force protection, he will also get what he wants...... Of course, there are limitations, such as Li Yalin, who was raised by Pakrit, although I don't know where he got the ability called 'Qigong', but his relationship with Pakrit is like father and son, so his status in the Sara family is only in Pakrit, Renoa, Aslan, and his personal relationship with Aslan is also very good, of course, Li Yalin's personal relationship with Lux is no worse than Aslan, otherwise Li Yalin would not have immediately led his spy team to protect Lux when Lux arrived in December. ”
Siegel's words eased Li Yalin's somewhat tense expression, and in fact, there was nothing wrong with Siegel's words, because the most powerful Inhumans known in the world still can't resist the power of technology, maybe he can resist the attack of an ordinary pistol, maybe he can resist the attack of a sniper rifle, but he can't resist the bombardment of missiles and the main guns of battleships, and a force will more or less have some weapons, let alone a top force? Although the Klein family has not made any achievements in military affairs, the Klein family's security system is not dry, it is not as good as the top secret forces, but against ordinary strangers, as long as they are willing to pay a certain price, they can still be killed.
So as Siegel said, Inhumans are just a 'person' after all in the face of huge forces.
"The reason I'm telling you this is because I want you to understand that having abilities is wonderful, but it's nothing compared to actual power...... And I, the Klein family, is one of the families with this kind of power, and in the future, once you can get the approval of Lux and my approval, you will inherit everything from the Klein family as the husband of Lux!"
A beautiful fantasy appeared in front of everyone with Siegel's narration, and listening to Siegel's impassioned words, Reed and Li Yalin seemed to see the future of the boy, who could decide the life and death of hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people with just one order, and the power and power that the boy had to do was to show his ability to control the Klein family......
Of course, fantasy is beautiful, reality is skinny, and although Siegel said it impassionedly, it had no effect at all on me, for I was once under one man, above ten thousand, and the whole world would tremble at my command, compared to which the Klein family was nothing more than that.
Lux, who learned my memory, is naturally quite clear about this, although Siegel's impassioned speech is beautiful, but Lux knows better that Siegel will not delegate power to the boy in front of him so easily, not to mention, Siegel is only in his prime now, even if he wants to retire, it will be ten or twenty years later, when the Klein family may be stronger than now, or even weaker than now, everything, is still unknown.
Lux still clearly remembers the scenes about the future of the Klein family in the boy's memory, although she does not agree with this ending, but if she does not make changes, the ending may be the same as that scene, and she may be able to change the ending, but Lux prefers to believe in the boy in front of him, because his rich experience can definitely do better than herself.
“……”
After saying some blood-boiling words, Siegel was surprised to find that his beloved daughter and the boy she liked quite a little indifferent, but he turned his head and thought that telling the child that this was a bit of a cow playing the piano, so he smiled self-deprecatingly and then changed the subject: "Of course, if you want to inherit everything from the Klein family, you need to work hard enough for it." ”
"First of all, since you are willing to join the Klein family as Lux's fiancé, you need to have an engagement dinner, of course, not now, but next year. ”
The first thing that was mentioned by Siegel was still related to his beloved daughter, and since he had decided to accept this future son-in-law, Siegel naturally considered the engagement dinner, but how to make a decision, Siegel also asked Lux for his opinion.
"Well, let's hold an engagement ceremony next year, people have no opinion, but people don't want to make a big splash, it's best to complete a simple engagement ceremony with Qiqi under the witness of my father. ”
Naturally, Lux agrees with Siegel's mention of the engagement, and I have no problem with it, although it is only February 5th, and there are at least ten months left before next year's definition, but in those ten months, I may be able to do some of the things I can do now.
"As for the completion of the marriage, there is no need to discuss it in a hurry for the time being, after all, you are still young now, and when you grow up in the future, you can specify the time of the marriage. ”
When Siegel mentioned getting married, Lux and I couldn't help but blush, although we knew that it was impossible to get married in the near future, and it was unlikely that we would even get married in ten years, after all, we would still be fifteen years old in ten years, but this kind of topic that is easy to make people shy should not be mentioned.
"Since Lux doesn't want to have a big engagement dinner, then I'm just going to make a limit on getting married here, strange, you have to have a certain social status before you can marry Lux, I don't have a high demand, just have a certain amount of prestige and influence within the plant - of course, this is in the case of putting aside the name of the Klein family. ”
The meaning of Siegel's words can be understood by both me and Lux, after all, with Lux's status, if my social status is similar to that of ordinary people, then the marriage with Lux is as incredible as a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and when the time comes, not only Siegel will be embarrassed, but even Lux's face will be completely lost by me, and the personnel under the Klein family will be even less likely to be convinced, after all, the Klein family is one of the twelve major families of the plant, and it is also the top existence among them。
For example, if you become a researcher in the future, you only need to enjoy a certain reputation in your professional field, for example, if you become a musician in the future, then you only need to gain a certain degree of recognition in your professional field, for example, if you become a powerful Inhuman in the future, then you only need to enjoy a certain reputation in the Inhuman circle。 ”
Siegel is indeed not very demanding, just listening to it makes me completely uninterested, if I were to ask myself, I will definitely marry Lux in the most glamorous capacity, such as a political dignitary of a country or a major general of a country, etc., if Siegel can know what I am thinking at this time, he will definitely give a small discount to my impression, after all, it is not a good character to be ambitious.
Of course, this is because Siegel doesn't know who I am in my past life, and if he had known my past life, I don't think Siegel would have made such a 'simple' request.
"You won't have the right to inherit the Klein family, of course, you will still be one of the heirs of the Klein family on the surface, but until you marry Lux, you will just be an heir with no reputation and no substance, which may make you a little sad, but this is a matter that needs to be taken seriously, I hope you can understand...... If I have an accident, all the power of the family will fall on Lux, of course, with my current physical condition, as long as it is not a natural disaster, it is unlikely to knock me down, and if it is a man-made disaster, I naturally have a way to deal with it. ”
When Siegel mentions 'if I have an accident', Lux softly "snorts", which makes Siegel a little embarrassed, after all, it is not a good habit to curse himself.
"As for all matters in the family, I will leave it to Lux to explain to you, for the time being, even if you join the Klein family, you still do not have any decision-making power, and when you need to influence the affairs of the family, you must also get my consent, of course, if you want to do something you want to do, and you need financial support, you can get it from me." Pocket money, or negotiate with Lux to give you a share, or apply to me, as long as it suits, I will not be stingy with this amount of money. ”
Siegel's terms and restrictions are undoubtedly very lenient, and although I am a little curious about the amount of 'pocket money' that Siegel is talking about, now is obviously not the time to ask about this, and as for other matters, since Siegel has indicated that he can apply to him, I naturally have no objection; Become a person with a certain social status.
"I admired my father's tolerance. ”
I was really taken aback when Siegel explained his so-called rules and restrictions, I didn't expect Siegel to be so tolerant, these conditions are almost the same as nothing, if I want, I can even borrow the name of the Klein family and one of the heirs on the surface to do whatever I want, which undoubtedly gave me the foundation to develop and put down roots in the family.
Although I don't understand the situation of the Klein family at the moment, considering the situation of the Klein family in the original book, I suspect that I only need to show a certain military talent and get Seagal's approval, and Seagal may be able to promote me to the status of major general, after all, the future Seagal is the speaker of the entire plant.
"Hehe, you're Lux's husband, and if I limit myself too much, I'm afraid the first person to trouble me will be my dear Lux. ”
Seeing that the boy calmly accepted the conditions and restrictions he gave, Seagel couldn't help nodding secretly, as for the so-called 'tolerance' in the boy's mouth, in Siegel's view, it may not be really 'tolerant'; Patience is still impossible to achieve, and it will even make him lose even worse, after all, he has a title of 'Klein' on his head, so an excellent foundation is often accompanied by huge risks, and a small fight cannot get into the eyes of the big guys.
For Siegel's words, Lux did not deny it at all, only to see her staring at Siegel with wide beautiful eyes, and while nodding, a pleasant voice sounded: "If Father really restricts Kiki too much, people will really be angry, it is rare for people to find a confidant...... Boyfriend, friend ......" said the last three words, and the meaning contained in them made Lux's face gradually regain his pale face and turn red again, and the stammering words made the listeners all smile knowingly.
"yes, yes, Lux has finally found a 'boyfriend' so that her father won't have to worry about being unaccompanied by Lux anymore...... Father suddenly found out that the decision to let Qi join the Klein family was simply too wise, haha......"
The two mustaches like Santa Claus on Siegel's lips shook with Siegel's laughter, looking cute and funny, but as the object of ridicule, Lux couldn't see this scene anymore; when she heard Siegel highlight the word 'boyfriend', Lux, who was flushed with shame, had already covered her hot face with her hands, and her shy appearance revealed indescribable cuteness and innocence.
And I naturally can't laugh or cry about this, I don't deny the identity of being Lux's boyfriend now, but being used by Siegel to tease Lux but not being able to fight back makes me a little aggrieved, but if you think about it carefully, Siegel is actually just teasing Lux, and it can be seen from this that Siegel is still in a very good mood at this time.
"Now that I've said that's all I have to say, I should hurry back to discuss the unfinished business with Pakrit, goodbye, Lux, Strange, Reed, and Li Yalin. ”
Siegel looked at the embarrassed Lux, and was happy for Lux, Siegel knew better than anyone that Lux was lonely, lonely, and sad when he lived alone, but when the boy successfully won the approval of Lux and joined the Klein family, the loneliness, loneliness, and sadness of living alone would no longer exist.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Siegel turned around and left the ward, although he unexpectedly gained a 'future son-in-law', but the reaction of the Sara family had to be considered, thinking of this, Siegel stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, but when he thought that Lux was finally accompanied by someone in the future, Siegel couldn't help but show a hint of peace of mind and a gentle smile.
"Karina, I hope that your child and I can regain the happiness we have lost......"
