Volume 1 The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 97 Difficult Decisions
In a VIP reception room in the "Foggy London" style of the Lenna Hotel, two luxurious and soft black leather sofas sat facing each other, but the arrival time was not a few minutes apart.
"Dr. Q, are they real?" Sydney's red lips opened slightly, and she took a sip of jasmine tea brought over by a well-dressed guard earlier, the aroma was fragrant and warmed to the throat.
Dr. Q remembered the archives that the special staff of the Archives Department of the organization had collected and sent to him for reading yesterday, and nodded, "Foolproof, it is indeed true, I can't imagine that such a family with a long heritage really exists." ”
After receiving Dr. Q's affirmative reply, Sydney lowered her head and looked at the jasmine tea she had rearranged on the tea table, and a beautiful jasmine flower was floating on the tea, which was full of fragrance.
Sydney didn't say a word.
Dr. Q was silent.
But in fact, the two just tacitly agreed.
As for the outcome, Dr. Q already knew it in his heart, Sydney accepted the invitation of the person on the letter to come here for a meeting, which already explained everything, vaguely revealing what she was thinking, and Dr. Q knew what the little girl in front of her valued most.
Dr. Q and Sydney had only a brief conversation, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little cold.
Two gentle knocks hit the heavily soundproofed gold-framed door, and then a gentleman with a bow tie pushed the door in, followed by a noble and elegant lady.
Dr. Q and Sydney stood up to greet the two.
The blonde lady who had come here from far away was a little rude at the first sight of Sydney, and despite the lady's image, she lifted the sides of the light blue dress with her white hands, trotted to Sydney in three steps and two steps, and gave the latter a big hug in surprise.
In the melting mood.
Sydney was slightly stunned, "Aunt?" ”
“Yes, yes!” The blonde lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then stroked Sydney's cheek and nodded, "We finally found you. I'm sorry, because the problems in the family have only been solved now, and because your father married a foreign civilian woman, many elders in the family have already expelled him from the family, so we are not allowed to look for your sisters. Your uncle and I spent a lot of time persuading the old bigots (We have finally found you, sorry, because the things that happened within the family have only now been resolved, and because your father married a foreign commoner woman, many elders in the family have long since expelled him from the family, so we are not allowed to look for your sisters, and it took a lot of effort for your uncle and I to convince those old stubborns)." As she spoke, the blonde woman pointed to the gentleman with a scepter behind her, who bowed his head slightly and smiled.
The lady's accent is the standard queen accent.
"Where's your sister?" The blonde lady raised her eyebrows, showing a puzzled look, and she saw that there was also a bald old man with gray hair in the room, and there was no Sydney sister in this large room.
Sydney bit her lip and looked down a few bites, a sad look on her face, "She's dead."
The blonde lady looked dazed for a moment, then a sad look, "It's our fault that we're late."
"Restrain one's grief and accord with inevitable changes." The gentleman took a few steps forward, "My niece."
The blonde lady was worthy of being the daughter of a high aristocratic etiquette and education, and she quickly put aside the topic, turned her eyes to Dr. Q, and smiled politely: "I think you are the doctor who adopted their sister. Now you look like a real talent."
The self-aware Dr. Q, of course, knew that the other party's "first-class talent" was just a polite word, so he smiled slightly, and then took a few steps forward and raised the lady's right hand and kissed the back of the lady's hand.
"Hello, my lady." The erudite Dr. Q also replied with a Received Pronunciation accent.
The lady was actually inconspicuous about her appearance, not to mention the politeness and temperament shown by the pleasing and pleasing Dr. Q, especially when the other party used the same accent as herself, so she must have a little more in her heart, when she learned from St. Mary's Orphanage that her late brother's daughter was adopted by a Chinese doctor, she was still a little worried, whether the other party could support her nieces well, but from the current situation, her nieces must be doing well after being adopted, I just don't know why the youngest niece died.
"I'm sorry her sister died of incurable disease." Dr. Q said apologetically.
The blonde lady inadvertently glanced at Sydney, and Sydney nodded, so the blonde lady believed Dr. Q's explanation.
“So, it doesn't matter. May she be happy in heaven." As she spoke, the blonde lady drew a cross on her chest, and it turned out that she was still a Christian.
Dr. Q also drew a cross on his chest, and he was also a Christian.
In this way, the blonde lady has a much better impression of Dr. Q.
“Dear lady, I have to go to the bathroom. Please excuse my temporary absence." Dr. Q said apologetically to the blonde lady, who of course knew that this was to avoid suspicion, so that he could have a better conversation with his niece, so he smiled knowingly.
Dr. Q nodded at Sydney, then walked out the door slowly.
The blonde lady took a deep breath, then sat down across from Sydney and started chatting with Sydney.
The gentleman with his scepter stood in the room admiring the layout and all the decorations in the "foggy London" style VIP reception room, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, and was silent from beginning to end, only quietly listening to the conversation between his sister and niece, and only occasionally interjecting a sentence or two at the invitation of his sister to explain the current situation of the family, showing a gentlemanly demeanor.
“Have you thought about it, my dear niece? We hope to bring you back to the family, so that we can do something for the elders and make up for what the family did to your father. We hope to be able to bring you back to the family so that we can do something as an elder and make up for what the family did to your father in the first place)." The blonde lady sat upright on the leather sofa opposite Sydney, her hands folded on her knees, smiling and dignified.
Sydney's eyes are obscure, and her heart is at war, as if she is weighing the pros and cons, she has thought about it a lot, Dr. Q and the organization have taken care of herself and her sister as their own daughters since she was a child, and her meticulous teaching, training, and the grace of dripping water is reciprocated, and this monstrous kindness is not repaid at all, Sydney also thought of the large and small actions she has participated in over the years, including many crises with her life hanging by a thread, as well as Su Ying, who has been released from her previous suspicions and reconciled with her. There is also Liu Mo, the first male god butcher in the history of the world who appeared in J City, as well as Rahu, Judge, Hades and other sisters who get along well...
Time passed minute by minute, Sydney was still thinking carefully, but the blonde lady who sat quietly and the gentleman who visited the room with a scepter in his hand was not in a hurry, but had some faint appreciation for Sydney, generally speaking, normal people must have squeezed their heads and wanted to have some relationship after learning that their family was noble, long and huge, but the only daughter left by the late brother did not show any impatient excitement, but thought carefully and acted cautiously, really inherited one of the few advantages of his brother.
The temperature of a few cups of jasmine tea in the room has cooled down, and the range of aromas is no longer so wide.
After a long time, Sydney nodded, "I agree to go home with you, but I want to give me more time. I want to say goodbye to my friends here."
The blonde lady smiled, "Of course, my dear niece."
At this time, the gentleman who had been looking at the layout and decoration of the room also smiled, and he took the scepter in his hand, which symbolized power, and tapped it lightly on the ground, and said to Sydney, "Welcome back,!" my niece, Lucy Bedivere (Welcome back!) My niece, Lucy Bedwell)."
It turns out that the ancestor of the family of the gentleman and lady is Bedwell, one of the 12 knights of the Round Table in the time of King Arthur, the knight who personally sent King Arthur to Avalon, the holy land that all kings yearn for, and is also the first and last knight.
Then it also means that those characters from Celtic mythology do exist, at least ever existed.
In fact, Dr. Q, who had been standing outside the door after coming back, did not sigh when he heard Sydney's answer, but showed a relieved smile.
Dr. Q gently pushed the door open and sat down next to Sydney.
"Dr. Q, I..." Sydney's face seemed to have a little guilt and apology for the bloated old man who had been raised and cared for for for a long time.
Dr. Q patted Sydney on the shoulder and said earnestly: "It's okay, I respect the decision of every child in the organization, you have also paid so much for the organization, your honor and achievements are enough to repay the debt to the organization and me, don't have the pressure and burden in your heart, since you yearn for freedom and return, then boldly pursue it." ”
Sydney's snow-white face showed a lot of surprise, according to her thoughts and understanding of the organization, although the kind-hearted Dr. Q would not be too embarrassed by himself, but it should not be so easy for him to get out of this secret organization, at least not just such a conversation.
"Really?!" Sydney still couldn't believe it, and almost stood up.
"Of course, after all, life is the most important thing in life, get out of this vortex as soon as possible and live well." Dr. Q pushed the round glasses with thick lenses on the bridge of his nose, and instead of blaming Sydney, he showed that he agreed with the other party's decision.
Dr. Q and Sydney have also been together day and night for several years, and naturally know the deepest thoughts of the other party, this little girl has actually always been a little afraid and jealous of those terrifying enemies, and what she longed for most was just to live well with her sister, but in the actions of the organization, I don't know when she will die in Huangquan, and her sister has died a long time ago, maybe she just wants to live well with her sister's share now.
"You can come back at any time and see that the organization will always be your home, and the members of the organization will always be your relatives." Dr. Q smiled like a warm winter sun, "I will always be a strong supporter for you children. ”
The gentleman and lady on the side naturally couldn't understand the Chinese conversation between the two, but from the expressions they were talking about, they could probably guess that there would be no more obstacles to bringing their niece back to the family.
Sydney stood up abruptly and bowed deeply to Dr. Q amid everyone's surprised looks, a standard ninety-degree bow.
There was a faint sound of sobbing coming from the room.
Thousands of words are in plain sight.
