Just then, Officer Christopher returned.

"Let's go check it out, both of you." Officer Christopher said.

Bella and Elena nodded, then followed the officer towards Daniel's room.

This is a delicate and elegant little bedroom, without overly pompous decorations, and without all kinds of curious toys, compared with boys of the same age, there is a clear difference.

Because Daniel is only six or seven years old, he is a little younger than Anna, and now is the most naughty period. However, judging from the furniture and furnishings in the room, it seems that there are no entertainment facilities.

There weren't many other playmates around, and Elena couldn't even imagine how the kid spent his free time.

At this time, Daniel was lying quietly on the bed, covered with a thin velvet quilt, and looked like he was asleep.

"Are there any other symptoms besides lethargy?" Bella asked.

"Hmm...... It doesn't seem to be there yet." Officer Christopher hesitated for a moment, then looked at the nanny who had just come in next to him, "Is it, Miss Merry?"

Merry nodded.

"Oh, yes, strange symbols on the arm." Christopher said, lifting Daniel's left arm and rolling up his sleeve, revealing a row of red characters.

"It's ......," Elena said she had never seen before, "Bella, have you seen it?"

Bella also shook her head, "There are so many words in the world, how can we all know each other?"

"What kind of letter could it be?" Elena couldn't think of it.

"I'm not sure it's words, but it could be some kind of totem or something." Bella said.

At least it can be seen that it was not written in the Latin alphabet.

"Wait!" Bella suddenly said aloud, "This line of symbols ......."

"Do you read the text?" Christopher asked.

"Ah, no, I don't understand. Well......" Bella continued, "I think I can probably guess what's going on."

"Huh? Is it true?" Christopher said excitedly, "Can you save Daniel?"

"Well...... Bella, touching her chin with her hand, "It's not that easy. Could you please go out with Miss Merry for a while?"

"We're going to affect spellcasting here, aren't we?" Christopher asked.

"Uh...... Pretty much." Bella replied.

"That's good." Christopher said, standing up, "The dog is gone."

He bowed deeply.

Bella can feel that this action contains the responsibilities and expectations of a father.

When Officer Christopher and Miss Merry walked out, only Bella and Elena were left in the room, and Daniel was lying on the bed.

Bella walked over to the bed and whispered, "I know you're awake."

Elena was amazed.

But Bella's expression seemed to be very serious.

"Now that there's no one else here, you can get up." Bella continued, "We can help you, but you have to trust us."

After a few seconds of hesitation, Daniel seemed to hesitate, then opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

"——? Elena was really taken aback.

But it's not just Elena, Daniel is also curious.

"Excuse me, how did you find out?" Daniel said, "I think I'm doing a pretty good job."

"Well...... Bella," Bella paused, then continued, "You've done a good job, and I've heard that even the doctor has hidden it. Your father didn't doubt it, but he ......."

"But what?"

"Fake is fake after all, and it can't stand scrutiny." Bella said, "First of all, you may not know about things like spells, and the so-called 'curses' often have a simple purpose and a corresponding purpose, because the focus is on concealment and effectiveness, so they generally don't leave as obvious marks as on your arms. Besides, I heard Miss Mei Li say that you have learned a little bit of painting before and have a certain foundation, so the pattern on your arm should have been drawn by yourself, right? Because I hold the pen in my right hand, I draw on my left arm, and I can see from the position and direction of the pattern that I can draw the brush from the inside."

"I see, I still haven't thought it through enough."

"However, these can actually be faked, but there is one proof that can directly prove that you are not unconscious."

"What evidence?"

"Look at it." Bella pointed to the messy shoes on the floor in front of Daniel's bed.

"This ......"

"If I didn't guess, when Officer Christopher came back, you had a peep in the past, right? I heard him say that he was going to come to see you, so I hurried back to bed. You know, Miss Merry is a very careful person, and if she sees shoes so messy on the floor, she can't help but put them in order. And your shoes are so messy, and it's unlikely that Officer Christopher caused them, so the most plausible explanation is that you just wore them and didn't have time to put them away."

"Well, I don't have anything to say." Daniel seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why are you doing that?" "Did you know that Mr. Christopher is worried about you?"

"I'm ......," Daniel said again.

"I guess he's trying to get his father's attention." "If you do that, Mr. Christopher will have to stay with him."

Daniel was silent.

"I understand your feelings." Bella continued, "With your mother away and your father going out early and coming home late every day, you must be very lonely. In order to get your father's approval, you study so hard that you don't even have free time for ordinary children to play. But even so, if you don't see your father a few times a day, you're going to be very disappointed, right?"

"I...... I know......" Daniel's voice choked up, "Dad is a police officer in Paris, and he works hard to protect everyone. I also admire my father, and every time I hear people praise him, I feel proud, but ...... But ......."

Daniel couldn't hold back, and tears fell down his eyes and hit the velvet quilt in front of him.

"In that case, you should tell him."

"However, I can't be so selfish as to let him give up his duty to protect everyone for my own sake."

"Isn't what you're doing now also selfish?"

"I ......," Daniel clearly regretted it.

"Well, we don't have to tell Mr. Christopher." Bella said, "But you have to promise us to tell him about it yourself, okay?"

"Hmm." Daniel nodded, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes with his arm, "I promise you."

"Also, tell him what you just told us." Bella said, "Tell him how important and great he is in your heart. Got it?"

"Understood." Daniel nodded solemnly again.
