Chapter 203: Resolute

On the rocking ship, Marshal Treville, who was already very tired, fell into a drowsy state again, and since he had come here, he had almost become accustomed to this state, and knew in his heart that it was a symptom of exhaustion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When people are old, they like to remember the past and worry about their children and grandchildren, but in a daze, his mind keeps thinking about his previous life, his grandchildren, and his great-grandchildren who will inherit his family business in the future.

So, after opening his eyes and seeing his granddaughter, he couldn't believe the reality, at first he suspected that he was thinking about it, so he was dazzled, but after a short period of distraction, he finally confirmed that he was not dreaming, and his granddaughter was really by his side.

When he is sick and tired, being able to be accompanied by his granddaughter is an unimaginable happiness for an old man who is in his last years, but after the initial joy, the old man can only keep a straight face. "Silly boy, what are you doing here?"

"I'm too worried about you......" Fran wasn't angry at Grandpa's reprimand, she just hugged him in pain and almost cried, "I'm ...... when you're in such a tormented state I can't stand by and watch! So I can only ask my brother to send me over as well......"

"Is the Charr crazy, how can he do such a thing?!" Marshal Trevier frowned, "Doesn't he know?" Now that we are so noble, how many people are staring at us, how can we easily do something unreliable and let others secretly watch the jokes? Why are you taking him with you to be willful? Miss Treville, I appreciate your filial piety, but please go back quickly, I have people here who take care of me, and they take good care of me. ”

His tone grew harsh, almost like he was reprimanding his granddaughter.

Fran lowered her gaze, trying not to be affected by the reprimand.

Obviously, in his grandfather's heart, the elder brother who inherits the family and all his expectations is the person he values the most. She already knew it in her heart.

"It's not our willful move, Grandpa." It wasn't until the old man had lost his temper that Fran carefully explained to him, "I'...... I didn't come in the name of taking care of you, but in the name of a medical volunteer. ”

"Healthcare volunteers?" The old man was a little strange.

"Yes, I recruited a team of female volunteers and brought them with me to the front line to work with the medics to care for the wounded and sick of the coalition forces." Fran nodded, "You have repeatedly reported to the country that the epidemic on the front line is serious, and a large number of officers and soldiers have been reduced, so my brother is very worried about this, and has been urging the country to send more experienced doctors to the front line as soon as possible, and through his efforts, we have recruited a group of people." However, having a doctor was not enough, and nursing work had to be done by someone, so I volunteered and recruited some people to come with the doctors...... So, you can see that this is an allegiance to the Empire, not that we are acting willfully. ”

Marshal Trevel frowned, quietly listening to his granddaughter's statement, and now he finally understood what was going on.

"So, you're bringing volunteers with you to take care of the sick and wounded?"

"Yes, I'm here to take care of the soldiers, and you're also a member of the military, aren't you?" Fran laughed, a smile so bright that the marshal's frowning brow couldn't help but stretch, "When I think of being able to serve my country and help you, I ...... I felt a great honor. ”

She only talked about the most glamorous side of the trip, bringing a volunteer team to take care of the sick and wounded with the military doctors, but she deliberately concealed from her grandfather the fact that they were doing various experiments in the laboratory in Giverny in order to treat cholera typhoid fever and other epidemics.

This is not a very glorious thing after all, she thinks there is no need to tell her grandfather, and more importantly, this is a laboratory that the Tréville family has invested and operated with all their heart, and it will be treated cautiously as the core asset of the family in the future, and it is really not suitable to be exposed to the world.

In addition to taking care of her grandfather and serving the empire, she also has a very important purpose of establishing her glorious image in front of the world, so she can't be involved in anything tainted.

"Now that our volunteer team has come with the transport ship, they are preparing to go ashore with the medics, I ...... I want to come over and see you first. ”

Under her explanation, Marshal Trever finally accepted the approach of the Charles siblings.

"Well, now that you're here, I can't drive you all back, so let's do what you planned." After thinking about it for a while, he finally approved of his granddaughter's approach, "However, since you have made a decision, you must stick to the end, you hurry ashore, set up the hospital as soon as possible, do things like doing things, and don't make others laugh at us!" ”

For the marshal, if he could really control the spread of the disease among the Allied troops as soon as possible, it would be the best news for him, even better than sending one or two divisions of reinforcements from home, after all, the wounded and sick were now veterans who had already fought in battle, and it would be an unbearable loss to lose them.

If he could do this, he wouldn't care if his granddaughter came over.

"I understand, grandpa...... Rest assured, we will get to work as quickly as possible. Fran immediately replied, "I'm here to see you today, and I'll be with them tomorrow." ”

Looking at her serious appearance, the old man's mind was in a trance again.

He recalled the bits and pieces of his ancestors and grandchildren getting along before, and the fragments flashed in front of him in every detail, until finally, frozen in that night.

That very night, he lost his daughter-in-law, sad and angry, and angry at his son's absurd behavior, and that very night the unsuccessful guy brought a baby over.

"Dad, don't be too sad, you have a granddaughter!" As if to please his father, he handed the baby in swaddling clothes to him like a treasure, and he didn't see the pain of losing his wife just now.

The baby's skin was as white as milk, with sparse blonde hair, while her eyes were as blue as seawater.

The moment he saw her, he decided to take the child, and he has not regretted this decision until now.

What a sweet child she was when she was a child.

And Edgar ...... has become a ghost.

Son, are you doing over there?

The old man forcibly interrupted his thoughts.

"You've grown up." He said to his granddaughter firmly.

"Hmmm! I'm an adult. Fran, of course, couldn't figure out what was going on in the old man's heart, and she just responded happily

Then, suddenly, she stood up again, and then ostentatiously spun around in front of her grandfather, and the hem of the white gauze skirt fluttered with it. "It's the uniform he designed for us, what do you think?"

"I just praised you for growing up, why are you like a child again?" The old man was a little laughed and cried at this childish behavior.

Then, his smile froze suddenly, and his eyes widened slightly.

"After I'm gone, you're ...... Didn't do anything? He became stern again, questioning Fran. You're not going to do that kind of thing, are you?! ”

Fran was stunned for a moment, she didn't know whether to answer the question head-on.

"Answer me!" The old man raised his voice, and he became weaker and weaker because of it.

In the face of such questioning, Fran realized that she could not tell a lie at all.

"The last step hasn't been reached yet." In the end, she answered honestly, "But we have an appointment...... Wait until this war is over......"

The old man only felt the blood surging up his head, he was so dizzy that he could barely hear anything clearly.

"Charles...... Charles ...... "He whispered his grandson's name, both concerned and bitter in hatred of iron and steel.

Why can't he figure things out like that?!

"Are you alright?" Fran was frightened by her grandfather's expression, and hurriedly walked to the head of the bed and hugged him, "I'm sorry......"

"I'm sorry...... What are you sorry for me? The old man sneered and stared at Fran sternly, "You are so worthy of me!" Especially you...... Especially you ......"

Why did such a cute child come to this point? He couldn't figure it out.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry," Fran burst into tears, apologizing one after another.

However, even though he has been apologizing, he still has not backed down from his position.

This made the old man more painful.

They have already agreed...... And who will be able to stop them then?

Will I be able to go back and stop them?

"You're just waiting for me to die, aren't you?" "Then you can live as you like." ”

"We've never thought of it that way, but here's the only thing you can believe in...... Please! Fran sobbed and replied, "No one in the world loves you more than we do!" All I want is your blessing, otherwise how terrible it would be! ”

"Forget it." The old man waved his hand. "If you really want me to live, how can you do that?"

"Please!" Fran cried even harder, begging for forgiveness.

"Then you just give up this obsession and live the life you deserve." The old man cheered up and said.

However, all he got was a cry.

What a stubborn child, the old man thought bitterly.

Have they made up their minds?

"I can't forgive you even if I die."

This sentence rushed to the old man's mouth, but in the end, he found that he couldn't say anything.

He was reluctant to say that.

How can a grandfather be ruthless in cursing his grandson and granddaughter?

He only felt weak all over.

"When I die, let it be as you please, but don't think I'll forgive you while I'm alive!" He shouted with what little strength he had left.
