After a minute or so, the dilapidated wooden door creaked open from the inside.

A face as pale as paper appeared before John's eyes.

"Miss Philip?!"

After seeing this face, John was shocked, and involuntarily took a step back, and then swallowed hard and asked in surprise. Because he was so shocked in his heart, John's voice suddenly rose at the end and became unusually sharp.

This, this is the Miss Philip who taught him music and painting for half a year?

In the past, although Miss Philip's complexion was not healthy enough and too pale, it was far from reaching the level of what it is today, and her already bloodless skin was as if she had just come out of a dungeon that had been locked up for decades, glowing with a palpitating dead gray!

As a former doctor, John certainly knows what that means.

It is not necessarily a pathological reason, maybe it is too tired, or maybe it is too psychological, but it must indicate that Miss Philip's recent condition is very bad and has reached a very dangerous edge!

"John?"

She looked at John with a slightly dull gaze, and after a long while, Miss Philip shook her head slowly, and muttered in a hoarse voice, "You, you shouldn't have come to this place, this is not the place you should have come......"

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling hard, John looked the other party up and down, and then asked in a deep voice, "Miss Philip, what happened?!" Why would you ......"

In my impression, Miss Philip, who was plainly dressed, but always haughty in her demeanor, was long gone, and her pale blue dress was spotted, and everywhere there were traces hidden after being busy; The originally neat and clean hair seems to have been uncared for for a long time, greasy and dirty, and it seems that it can smell embarrassing; And a pair of blue eyes are full of deep helplessness, pain and exhaustion, like ......

Looking through the words in his mind, John could not describe the look in Miss Philip's eyes at this time, no matter what language he had.

"I'm sorry, John."

After a moment of silence, Miss Philip bit her lip vigorously and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm very sorry, I, I've been a little bad lately, so...... I owe you that one hundred dollars......"

As she spoke, Miss Philip's eyes finally fluctuated slightly, and she slowly lowered her head. As a proud lady, she was so embarrassed by her creditors that she didn't even dare to guarantee that she wouldn't have turned around and run away if it weren't for her own cottage behind her.

"No, no, no, I think you're mistaken!"

John sighed in his heart, and quickly shook his head, "Miss Philip, I'm not here to ...... Can I go in first? It's a little inappropriate to stand in the doorway and speak. ”

Seeing that some people around him had begun to pay attention to this place, John was also a little uncomfortable.

At John's request, Miss Philip visibly fell into a strange state again, as if she was hesitating about something, but at last she nodded and leaned sideways to make way for the room to enter.

Turning and nodding at Fett, motioning for him to wait for him outside, John stepped inside.

"Bang!"

As Miss Philip slammed the door behind him, John's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt a little breathless.

The room was just too small.

At most, it is a room of six or seven square meters, cold and cramped, only a window is opened in front of the door, and the sunlight shines in and shines on most of the room, making the room more lively. The room was fairly clean and tidy, with only a small bed, a small cupboard, and a table, and nothing else.

No!

After scanning the room for a moment, John turned his head sharply, his eyes focused on the shadows beneath the table!

"This is my daughter."

Before John could ask, Miss Philip spoke hoarsely, "Serena, come out and say hello to the guests, this is Mr. John Huntelaar." ”

A little girl, who was no more than three years old, came out from under the table.

Wearing a much wider long dress, covering her little hands and feet, only revealing a slightly dry head and dirty little face, in John's eyes it was no different from the other children in the alley outside, the only thing that surprised him a little was that the girl's cute little face was much more beautiful than her mother's.

But......

Just when he saw Serena for the first time, John suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After a brief moment of doubt, John quickly thought that something was wrong, because there was less anger on the child's face! It is the kind of anger that a three-year-old girl should have, whether it is lively, generous, shy, and afraid of life, a child of this age should have the kind of anger! There was no expression on his face, and his eyes were slightly glazed, and he seemed to be very slow to react to John's arrival.

"Hi, hello, Serena."

With doubts in his heart, John tried his best to make his expression gentle, and raised his hand to say hello.

"Hee-hee."

After tilting her head to look at John for a moment, the little girl suddenly grinned.

Seeing this smile, John's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, he smiled slightly and continued: "Serena, I am your mother's friend, I think you can call me John......"

John wanted to continue to talk to the cute little girl, but Miss Philip next to her seemed to be a little nervous, and then stepped forward and stood between him and his daughter, and said a little sternly: "Serena, will you go to bed?" ”

"Uh......"

John was silent for a moment about Miss Philip's attitude, and said nothing. In fact, he had roughly guessed something, and the most reliable conclusion was that Miss Philip's child had some kind of serious illness, and he had lost his job and quarreled with her husband, so John could understand at this time.

But just as Serena tilted her head and staggered to bed at her mother's command, John's eyes fell on one of her small feet that had been accidentally exposed by climbing.

"Huh?!"

The moment he saw this little foot, John's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face suddenly changed!

After being stunned in place for two or three seconds, John came back to his senses, and an irrepressible anger instantly rushed to his heart, making him turn around sharply and glaring at Anna Philip with an extremely angry gaze: "Miss Philip, what have you done to this child?!" ”
