Chapter 55: The Ending

"Well, you love Haidai!" The Count of Monte Cristo couldn't hold back his excitement and asked, his scattered black hair trembling with his body, and the man who had always maintained his nobility and elegance looked a little embarrassed at this time.

With tears in her eyes, Valentina choked up, replied, "Yes! I love her with all my heart. ”

"Listen, Valentina," said the Count in a low tone, "I want to beg you to do something. ”

"If only I could have such an honor."

"You just called Haydai your sister, let her really be your sister, Valentina, give her all your gratitude to me, please protect her with Morel." The earl's face turned bitter, and his lips twitched for a long time before he said, "From now on, she will only be alone in this world." ”

"A lonely man." The calm and melodious voice behind the Count repeated, with a few questions: "Why?" ”

The Count of Monte Cristo stiffened and turned, and Haydai stood there coldly and motionlessly, looking at the Count with a strange expression of surprise, and her bright face turned pale, as if she had heard unacceptable bad news.

The Count tried his best to endure it, his handsome face was as plain as ever, he wanted to stretch out his hand to comfort the girl in front of him but hesitated to put it down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Because from tomorrow you will be free, and you can take your rightful place in society, and you are a princess." You are the daughter of a prince! I will give you all the wealth and honor of your father. ”

Haidai's face turned even paler, and she raised her two white hands to the sky, and stretched out to the Count, who was much taller than her, as if she was longing for a hug, and cried out in a hoarse voice with tears in her eyes, "Then you are leaving me, my lord?" ”

The girl's cry made the Count's heart tremble, and he felt that he had to be ruthless when he thought of his future life, as if to convince himself to exclaim: "Haidai! You are still young, you are beautiful, you should have enjoyed the best years of your life, forget my name, and go for a happy life! It's a right you should have! ”

"Good." Haidai lowered her head so that others could not see her face: "I should obey the orders of my master, I will forget your name and your appearance!" Forget all your past! A person goes to live a happy life. ”

She took a step back, ready to leave.

"Oh my God!" Valentina cried out, and she was now leaning down on Morel who had fallen to the ground, resting his head on her shoulder, and she could not help persuading the Count: "Can't you see how pale her face is? Can't you see how painful she is? ”

Haidai showed a heartbreaking expression but also a little stubborn sarcasm: "My sister, why do you want him to understand my pain? He is my master, and I am his slave, and he has the right not to see this. ”

This was all addressed to the Count, whose stubborn and arrogant nature did not allow her to speak of weakness, but at the moment she wished that the Count would find even the slightest attachment in her words.

The girl's voice tugged at the earl's secret heartstrings, and when his gaze met the girl's, he felt that he could no longer bear the dazzling light, her eyes were so straightforward and strong, but there was a fragility to the earl alone.

The Earl lowered his head but did not dare to look at the girl, and asked in a low voice, "Haidai, do you really feel happy to stay by my side?" ”

"I'm still young." Hayette came to the Count and replied gently, her white hands cupped the Count's cheeks, and the two looked at each other, she made sure that the Count felt the determination she had. She replied in a calm voice: "I love the sweet life you arranged for me, I don't want to die." ”

Die!? The Count never wanted this noble maiden to die, what was she talking about?

The Count was a little stunned: "You mean, if I leave you, Haidai..."

"Yes, I'm going to die, my lord." The girl's calm voice contained an irresistible firmness.

"So do you love me?" The Count's voice finally faltered, he had not been out of that cage for years, Father Faria had let his body out of prison, and now Hydai's voice had made his mind leave there, that dark and small place.

"Valentina! He asked me if I loved him. My sister, tell him if you love Massimilan. ”

The Count felt his heart swell, beating wildly, like the tide of the sea.

He opened his arms, Haidai shouted, and threw herself into his arms with tears of joy: "I love you!" I love you as a father, brother and husband! I love you as I love life and God. Because you are the best and most noble person in the world. ”

"May all things be as you wish, my angel, God inspired me to fight against my enemies, gave me victory and refused to let me end it with a life of asceticism, I wanted to punish myself, but God forgave me! Love me so much, Haidai! Who knows, maybe your love will make me forget all the things I should forget. The Count embraced the girl's petite body, and the heart he had thought had dried up was overflowing with emotion again, and he had tasted happiness for the first time in a long time except revenge.

"What do you mean, sir?" Haidai asked a little shyly, but she had already received a satisfactory answer.

"Haidai, your words have given me more inspiration than twenty years of long experience, I only have you in this world. Because of you, I will start my life again, and I can feel pain and happiness again, but there is no doubt that you will be my only one. ”

Haidai looked into the earl's eyes and swore in a loud voice: "Haidai Teberin, swear here

I have nothing to turn to but you

If fate wants to separate us, then I will overcome it

My body, my heart, everything I have belongs to you

I love you more than my life. ”

Ah, what a wonderful bold declaration! The Count thought quietly for a moment. "Have I discovered the truth?"

He whispered, "But whether this is compensation or punishment, Haidai, you have overcome me!" Conquered my fate! ”

The Count hugged the girl's waist tightly.

······

"My friend." Valentina looked at the distant sky and replied, "Didn't the Count just tell us?" All the wisdom of mankind is contained in these four words: "Wait" and "Hope"! ”

······

"It's crazy! This is crazy! Oh, my God! How can I describe it! How to describe your mood, how to find the words to praise this novel, how to describe all this! Devon Henrietta's mushy thoughts were nothing but surprise with nowhere to vent, he didn't know where his high emotions came from, and he wanted to laugh out loud in celebration but suddenly lost it.

Just now, he was sure that he had finished reading an incomparably good novel, so why did he feel lost?

He touched his eyes, the warmth of his eyes just now was not an illusion, he was moved to tears from the bottom of his heart for a work, it actually made a learned man cry. The Count of Monte Cristo and Haydai went away to make Divin, who was also an Earl, feel envious, how could he not hope to meet a noble woman as Haydai, that incomparably stubborn vow must melt the heart of any man.

After reading the first half of "The Count of Monte Cristo", he only thought that it was an excellent and innovative novel, but the second half of the book made him feel that his soul was sublimated.

He applauded the Count of Monte Cristo for accomplishing his revenge.

He was amazed by what the book said.

He praises every character and every plot in the book.

This novel is easy to understand, simple but beautiful, and the wonderful plot contains rich life truths. A novel that anyone can understand, it is difficult to say that it also has a profound literary nature.

For the first time in many years, Divin Henrietta saw such a peculiar work, and he exclaimed more than once: "This is God's revelation!" It deserves praise! It deserves to be held in the palm of people's hands! ”

He understood why his friend was so eager to send the second half of the book, and he was feeling the same way now.
