Chapter 42: Death by Injury
Xiao Ruo didn't go out, only shook the bell at Alice's bedside, and after a while, several people walked in.
John was slipped in by Qi Qiongti, and was thrown to the ground after entering the door, his face was pale, and his sweat was almost soaking wet, but he still crawled away from Qi Qiong with neat movements, looking at him as if he had seen a ghost. And Joe, although he didn't look very good, still tried to stand up straight, but looked at Alice's eyes full of regret.
"Rachel......" Alice glanced at Xiao Ruo helplessly.
Xiao Ruo turned her head and pretended not to hear, glanced at Qi Qiong, and saw him shaking his head, his heart sank, and a deep sense of powerlessness and heartache swept through her whole body, staying there motionless, just mechanically sending internal force to Alice.
If Qi Qiong didn't know anything about Dan Dao......
If she had broken that big ban a long time ago......
If she had worked a little harder, she would have found Alice's abnormality......
How can there be so many ifs, Alice's poison was planted by Joe a long time ago, because only Joe and Charlie can not be discovered by Alice's "real induction" and poison her daily life, what is missing is just the introduction given by Joe.
"Joe, I'm sorry, rachel her ......"
"Humph!" Qiao still maintained his dissatisfaction with Xiao Ruo at this time, although his voice was weak, it still revealed a thick contempt, "It is worthy of being his descendant, and he is as cunning as him!"
"Joe!" Alice exclaimed.
"Am I wrong?" Although Joe's situation is not good, the momentum of the super-level master is still there, "I said, as long as you give this girl to me, I will give you the antidote, but you have always refused, for the sake of the person who never reassured you, is it worth it?" I've done so much for you, have you ever really looked at me?" At the end, Joe was a little hoarse.
"I'm sorry, Joe, I can't let you hurt rachel. He's just such a granddaughter......"
"Alice......" Qiao's words made Xiao Ruo almost faint, and she said in a trembling voice: "What Joe said, is it true?" It's me...... Did I make you like this?"
"No, Xiu, it's not like that." Qi Qiong came out and explained, "It's not Xiu, the poison in this lady will still attack in the near future, it's this guy who said it." ”
As he spoke, Qi Qiong pointed at the cowering John, and John couldn't help but hit a spirit and moved to a more corner.
"Moreover, even if you are dissatisfied with Xiu, you have hurt Madame after all!" Charlie scolded.
Qiao was obviously struck by Qi Qiong's words: "How is it possible? Those people said it clearly...... John!"
John was shocked again, and said, "Outside...... Grandpa, I'm not ......"
John's performance has said it all, Joe was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face seemed to be a smile, and finally laughed out loud: "Ha, haha, this is my offspring, all of them are the same, ha!" He looked at Xiao Ruo again, "What do I compare with him, what do I compare to?"
"So what?" Joe's expression suddenly became hideous, "What I can't get, I'd rather ruin it!" He looked at Alice, then at the indignant Charlie, and sneered: "Hey, Mr. Viscount Ludwig, what did you get again?" has been a housekeeper all her life, has she ever really cared about you? also hitched a ride on the entire family for this, which was extremely stupid. ”
"What about stupidity?" Charlie looked at Joe, with a hint of pity, and said, "You're crazy, Joe. Your mind is too deep and possessive, and it is impossible for Madame to accept you. Moreover, I don't need your sympathy, I've got the whole world, and the rest, don't force it. ”
"Ahem, Joe, I know I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry......" Alice said with a wry smile as she looked at Joe, who was already crazy.
"Alice, why apologize? Do you owe me anything?" Qiao Wei smiled and slowly walked towards Alice, but was stopped by Xiao Ruo and Charlie, he didn't care, stood there, looked at Alice, and said word by word: "Ariel, I killed it."
"What?" Alice was shocked, and trembled uncontrollably: "She's but, but ......"
"What is it? Is it my own daughter?" Joe laughed and said, "She's a failure!" The same failure as her vain mother! It's strange to me that she could have become yours and then became more and more like her disgusting mother! Luckily, I was able to see her for who she really is. However, she still has some use, at least you have treated me a lot, and almost everything I say is listened to. But it's this stinky girl!" He pointed at Xiao Ruo and roared: "She is that person's cheap seed, I felt wrong as soon as she appeared, and it turned out to be just as I thought, you actually gave her everything!"
"Hehe, hehe, I now understand that whether it is me, my daughter, or my grandson, they all lost. Especially this brute!" Joe slowly approached John and kicked him a few times, "However, he didn't win either, you don't belong to him after all, you don't belong to him!!"
"And, who's to say I'm losing now? At least, when I die, I can be with you. Joe was sometimes crazy and sometimes normal, and everyone looked at him, not knowing what to say. Especially Alice, if Xiao Ruo hadn't increased the output of internal force, she would almost have been unable to hold on. Even so, she had little time left.
Alice looked at Joe in a complicated way, with mixed feelings in her heart, win? He did win, just because of one of them, her childhood playmate, a madman who even killed his own daughter. A man who abandoned his viscount status and became a descendant of Langton Castle for the rest of his life. She has never been married all her life and has been lonely all her life.
Is it really worth it? As she was about to die, Alice felt that her "real sense" had never been so sensitive. She questioned herself seriously, but she couldn't get an answer.
She could feel Xiao Ruo's sadness, Charlie's pain, and Joe's ...... Resolute?
"Don't!" Alice blurted out a stop and before it was too late, everyone only saw Joe's face show a relieved smile and fell down, saying that he was falling, but in fact he knelt down, facing Alice's direction.
"Show Alice, can I really call you by your name? But I'm just a guard!"
"Alice, who is he?"
"Alice, I went to learn Mandarin specifically, 'mud consumption', how do you think I learned?"
"Alice, don't be sad, if I become the guardian of the family, I can always protect you, and I can find him to avenge you!"
"Alice, you don't have to worry, I can bear this suffering, I have to have enough strength, or how can I be considered a protector?"
"Alice ......"
"Joe, you didn't feel sorry for me, I owe you more." Alice's face was full of tears. The guardian of the Langton family is not so easy to be. Joe's qualifications are actually not good, and at the beginning, he could only endure endless mental power oppression and various tortures in the forbidden place of the family day after day. She had to endure the same ordeal again every year, and she didn't know how Jo survived at the time. Later, if she hadn't given him hope again and again for him to survive, so that she hadn't made it clear earlier, they wouldn't have fallen to such a point.
"Rachel, did you say I was wrong?" The brilliance in Alice's eyes faded and almost disappeared.
"Alice! You're not wrong, it's just that he can't think about it. Xiao Ruo had never felt so clumsy, she could only comfort dryly. In fact, in her heart, it was cheaper for him to die like this, after all, what Joe did made her unforgivable.
"yes, I'm right, I'm just...... Falling in love with someone you shouldn't love. Alice muttered, the situation clearly deteriorating, knowing that her life was short, and she said softly, "Rachel, remember what you promised me. Also, give John a good time. Charlie, I'm sorry. ”
"Alice!"
"Madame!"
In the end, what appeared in front of Alice's eyes was the long, jade, gentle and elegant Chinese man. She stared at Xiao Ruo's face, just like the reminiscence look that the two of them showed when they met for the first time in their true faces, reappeared: "Xiao, I don't care how long I wait, I just hope for a result." Oh, it turns out that this is my result, but how can I, not regret it. Alice's voice grew softer and softer until she could no longer be heard. Her eyes slowly closed, and the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed relieved and relieved.
Xiao Ruo covered her mouth with one hand, the tears in her eyes couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, she slowly withdrew her other hand from Alice's back, and instead grabbed her hand that was getting cold, as if she would fly away as soon as she let go.
But she knew very well in her heart that this caring person, who had been by her side almost since she was reborn and had given her great help, had passed away. Although she didn't want to, she once again suffered the pain of the death of her loved ones, and this time, she still couldn't do anything.
