"It's so fragrant. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Charles's exaggerated movements and full smile touched Fran even more, she looked at her brother fixedly, her face smiled, but tears rolled down uncontrollably, she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything, and finally could only hug Charles.

"Thank you, sir......"

Charles didn't speak again, just gently stroked the long golden hair under the nurse's hat, and he felt quite a lot in his heart after such a long reunion.

In the cold wind of this hunting, the two of them hugged each other like this, and they hugged each other so tightly that they were filled with a warm breath, as if they were in a greenhouse.

It wasn't until a long time later that the two of them separated.

Charles took a closer look at his sister's haggard appearance, and finally sighed.

"You're so tired, I'm sorry."

"I'm really tired, I was still standing on the night shift last night, and I haven't slept yet." Fran smiled self-deprecatingly, a smile that made her look even more tired and haggard, "But what's so sorry about that?" Coming here was originally my willful request, and I myself should be responsible for my own actions. ”

"Hey......" Charles wanted to say more, but in the end he could only let out a long sigh, "Well, there is really no point in saying sorry now, since you have come here and done this step, you can only do it to the end." Thankfully, though, you've done a great job so far, very well. ”

"Really? That's great," Fran couldn't help but laugh again, "how good is that?" ”

"It's more than I thought it would be." Charles emphatically emphasized, "Although the news here is very closed, you can't know anything about the rear, right?" You have made a name for yourself, and now the people in the rear know about your good deeds, and you also know that you are fighting hard to save the lives of children on the front line...... A lot of people are grateful to you, really, for doing something you've never done before. ”

"I didn't do this alone, there are so many volunteers and doctors here who came with me, and I couldn't have done anything without them." Fran shook her head, "Besides, there's Miss Nightingale, who has also brought a volunteer team with her to fight here with us, and her motives are much purer and nobler than mine......"

"Well, I'm not an outsider, so why do you want to tell me that?" Charles couldn't help but smile and stroke her hair again, "Anyway, your purpose has been achieved, and now that you have a high reputation, maybe a good name that I can't achieve in my lifetime, you deserve to be happy." ”

Fran looked at her brother blankly, although she was indeed a little happy, but it contained other thoughts, and seemed to have mixed feelings.

"If only it didn't have to pay such a big price." After a moment, she said in a daze.

"Huh?" Charles was a little confused.

"At first, I came here just to make a name for myself, and I didn't think about anything else, but over time, I really got into it, because it's really a noble cause." Fran laughed eagerly, then embarrassedly, "I know it's a bit ridiculous for someone like me to say something like 'noble', but when you see so many young people moaning and struggling to survive in front of you, it's hard for a person to be completely indifferent, or even stand idly by. ”

Charles looked at Fran in surprise, it really didn't look like her style.

Fran didn't notice, and just talked to herself. "A young man who was alive a moment ago has become a corpse in the blink of an eye, and scenes that have never appeared in nightmares have suddenly become natural, really, if only you could see that with your own eyes...... Even though I've interned in a hospital before, I think I'm still mentally prepared, but sometimes I still feel terrified of war - humans can so easily let thousands of their own kind die, and take it for granted! Not...... Hmmm......"

Fran suddenly covered her mouth, perhaps because of the sadness of the scene, and tears fell from her eyes again, and by this time, her tears had nothing to do with joy, only sorrow and sympathy for the soldiers who had been sleeping here, and perhaps a little grief for her fate.

Seeing her sister suddenly lose control of her emotions like this, Charles finally understood something.

In the tragic war, veterans who have witnessed corpses strewn with rivers of blood often fall into an extreme mental state, sometimes depressed and sometimes excited, and some even commit suicide for this, this is the so-called war trauma syndrome, even in the 21st century, such mental illness will plague those soldiers who have participated in the war, and Fran may also be used to seeing similar scenes and suffer a serious mental shock.

"Say no more! Stop it! Charles was shocked, then hugged her again, reassuring her in her ear, "Okay, it's okay...... Don't get excited, everything will be okay and it will pass...... We will soon be back in Paris, back home, where we have everything and never have to face these ...... again."

"I'm fine, I can stand it, believe me, I'm strong." Fran whispered, but tears were still welling up, "It's just a moment of weakness, please forgive me for being a little willful." ”

This is indeed the truth, she has been careful to cover up, not to show the trauma she has suffered, this is not only for the sake of work, but also to reassure the hearts of other volunteers, after all, as a funder, she is also the core of this volunteer team, she knows that she can not be discouraged.

But this kind of pressure is also accumulated day by day, making people almost overwhelmed, and coupled with the fatigue of working for a long time, it has become an unbearable torture. Today, she finally met her long-missed brother, this pressure finally got a catharsis, after she was excited and joyful, she no longer had the self-control before, and the accumulated pressure was like a flood that burst the embankment, gushing out with tears.

After all, she was just a young girl in her early twenties, and how could she really be untouched when she saw so many scenes of blood flowing in rivers?

"It's okay, it's okay." Charles continued to hold her in his arms, so much so that tears wet his shirt and chest.

In this cold weather, his chest was soon cold and shivering, but Charles did not show anything unusual and let his sister cry in his arms.

Maybe only a few minutes, maybe a century, Fran's tears finally stopped, she looked up timidly, and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, sir...... I, I'm really just venting by chance, and I promise I won't be so childish again! Please forgive me, I won't be so weak anymore. ”

Charles understands that she is afraid that she will be judged as weak, judged as an unsuitable collaborator, and then abandoned by herself.

But now, how could I still do it?

"I'm glad I was able to help you vent some of your stress...... You don't have to suppress yourself. Charles replied immediately, "As I said, you've exceeded my expectations." I also believe that no one in the world will do so much for me...... No amount of gold, silver, or jewel can repay such loyalty, and from now on, I will never doubt your enthusiasm and will, Miss Treville, you are undoubtedly the person I trust and rely on the most, and from now on, please continue to fight with me to the end. ”

It wasn't something he said on the spur of the moment, it was something he felt from the heart.

And this sentence undoubtedly ignited Fran's heart at the end, and the warm blood rushed to her heart, and she only felt that her steps were weak, and she almost fainted.

That's all she wants, and the price she pays for it is worth it after all.

"Oh my God......" she trembled, "do you see, I still got ...... after all"

"Okay, you're in a bad state of mind right now, let's rest first." Charles also covered her lips, and then looked at her lovingly, "In addition, in the future, you should work less night shifts, I see that you are already tired, you should recuperate and recuperate." As a major investor, you are entitled to a little convenience. ”

"I know, I know." Fran nodded slightly, "I'll listen to you." ”

At this time, Charles tries to separate the two again,

However, he was stunned to find that Fran's feet were weak, and if it weren't for his quick hands, he would almost fall to the ground.

But it's not surprising to think about it, just now she vented the huge pressure accumulated in her heart in front of her, and was shocked by the huge joy, coupled with a long time of overwork, so she has become very fragile mentally, and her body is too consumed, and it is normal to be unable to move for a while.

"Sir, I'm fine, just take a rest." Fran whispered, but her eyelids kept blinking, as if they were weighing a thousand pounds.

"Where's your dorm?" Charles immediately asked.

"Over there......" Fran reluctantly raised her hand, gesturing in a direction to the side.

Charles looked up and saw that it was just a few simple farmhouses, and he didn't know how much he could play in the cold wind.

While she was suffering here, I was still in the capital!

The thought flashed through his mind, and then he became more and more guilty for a moment.

"I'll take you!" He dropped such a sentence, and then suddenly sank down.

Then, at his sister's exclamation, he grabbed Fran's legs, picked her up sideways, and walked in the direction Fran had just pointed out.

"You...... You ......," Fran was shy and anxious, "be careful, there are a lot of people here!" ”

"What's so scary? What is unconscionable about an older brother taking care of his younger sister? Charles replied coldly, "Besides, I'm the one who came to the front on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, do I need to care what others say?" ”

“…… Well, thank you. Fran closed her eyes.

She is also unwilling to push away the sudden happiness.

And so, under the gaze of the people, either surprised or amazed, Charles carried Fran in his arms and walked all the way to the place where she was resting.

Fran's face was a little red, and she closed her eyes slightly, both from exhaustion and shyness, but even more from the immersion in happiness.

"Sir, is it okay to promise me one thing?" At the end, she suddenly asked.

"Ten things will do, just say it!" Charles replied abruptly.

"If you can, I ask you to try not to start a war in the future, because everything I have seen has made me understand how terrible war is." Fran whispered in Charles' ear, perhaps thinking of something, and her tone suddenly took on a little choked up, "The blood, tears, and lives of so many people are too heavy, and if it is to defend their own nation and country, such a price is barely acceptable; If it is for some ethereal glory and to satisfy someone's vanity and fantasies, it is a great sin......"

"I can't promise not to start a war." Charles shook his head. "But I can, I won't go to war for my vanity, I won't squander the lives of my soldiers aimlessly."

"That's enough...... Fran closed her eyes again, enjoying the sleep that was coming, "please remember your promise, and I will help you remember it." ”
