Before leaving, Sally stroked the prosthetic leg given to her by the doctor who had saved her. She is now wearing a brand-new prosthetic leg that her sister kept in her large suitcase, which is soft and flexible, and is very easy to use. The old prosthesis is much inferior in comparison.

She took off the old one not because she wanted to put on the new one, but because she wanted to put the old one on the doctor's grave.

She whispered to the doctor's tombstone, "I hope the angels will take my thoughts of you far away." The prosthetic leg you gave me is the most beautiful thing in my life, and I can't let the place I am about to go to pollute it, so I will leave it with you for the time being, and you will return it to me when I go underground to find you. ”

With that, Sally wept bitterly, dug through the undried dirt with her soft hands, dug a small pit, and put the prosthetic leg in.

The doctor died a month ago, and he died after delaying his rest in order to see a patient, infected by an unknown virus. When he died, he was only about eighty pounds. On weekdays, he often sees the poor for free, and his nutrition has not kept up.

The doctor never accepted her confession, not because he had other sweethearts, but because he never liked Sally, and he loved all his patients, and it was that kind of selfless and equal love that made Sally fascinated by him.

Sally was full of worries, wearing the uniform of the aristocratic school she usually wears, and got on the ship to Gemie Village alone. She didn't have any luggage, and since she was going to another place, she had to start all over again until the day she died, and then she would come back to the doctor.

The journey was very smooth, there were no encounters she had subconsciously expected, and there was no trouble. When most of the passengers saw her inconvenient legs, they would try their best to help, and it was also very warm.

The person who picked her up appeared in front of her like this. Looking at the familiar face with a cheerful smile, the man held a sign that read: The housekeeper of Abbey Manor greets the beautiful Madame Robles and the lovely Miss Sally.

Seeing this sturdy man, Sally's memories of being five years old flooded back in her heart, and she stepped forward and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Gottland, you have become my sister's housekeeper......"

Gotland stared at Sally in a daze, and soon his smile widened: "You are Sally, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to remember me." ”

Sally smiled, "Your performance is one of the best memories of my life, how can I not remember." My sister and I mentioned that the housekeeper has contributed a lot to my life and my sister's life, and my heart is full of gratitude to you. ”

It was as if something had been struck in Gotland's heart, and he knew it was genuinely moving. It's just that after going through so many things, he can no longer give up all his current life to pick up acrobatics again. His face unconsciously flowed into a lonely expression.

Sally was keenly aware of something, and she immediately changed the topic: "Mr. Gottland, I didn't expect you to recognize me~"

"Of course, you look the same as you did when you were a child, you just become mature. However, I remember that you used to be lively and naïve, but now you are so melancholy. Gotland looked at Sally with sympathetic eyes.

Sally smiled faintly, and the calmness and sadness in her smile were intertwined: "After so many things, my smile is getting less and less, and the happiness in my eyes is gradually dissipating. Moreover, seeing the changes in my sister's temperament and heart also made me feel sad. ”

"Don't blame your sister for the change." Gotland suddenly said, "Your sister did a great job

Everything is for you. ”

"I know." Sally's smile vanished, "But if she hadn't accepted Mr. Dahl in the first place, I'm afraid nothing like this would have happened to me." She looked sadly at her long dress.

Gottland was stunned for a moment, and then it dawned on him that Sally had been amputated.

"Sally, for your legs...... I also feel sad. Thankfully, that abominable Darson is dead, and now the entire Rosewood Manor is ours. ”

Sally ignored the topic of the manor, and instead found a topic: "Mr. Gotland, are you happy now?" ”

"Huh?" Gottland was a little shocked, because he suddenly felt that this little girl had an unusually mature heart.

He thought for a moment and said, "Happy, I can't say it. It's just that you have chosen this path, and you must go on seriously. Besides, even if I am not happy, I will continue to walk for the sake of your sister, your sister is the hope of my life, and I can't leave her alone. ”

"So that's the case, my sister is so happy, to have someone like you who really loves her by your side......" Sally smiled faintly, this smile was no longer an expression made for the sake of politeness, it was a relief from the bottom of my heart.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Hey, where's your sister? Gotland looked around, "It's been so long and you haven't gotten off the boat?" ”

"My sister she ......" Sally bit her lip and her voice was low, "I got food poisoning on the way to Modo City, and I didn't get timely medical treatment, which caused serious damage to my stomach and intestines, so I stayed in the hospital in Modo City for treatment, and it will take at least a month to be discharged." ”

After hearing this, Gotland's heart was shocked, and he unconsciously took a few steps back, looked blankly and vacantly at the direction of the sea, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, hehe, why didn't I give her poisoned potato powder earlier, so that she would get sick earlier?" It will be years before we meet again. ”

Sally couldn't hear what Gotland was saying, but looking at his dejected appearance, she couldn't help but feel sympathy.

The two were silent for a while, and Gottland said, "Miss Sally, don't worry, I will send Roberts's money regularly." Let's take a carriage to the Magnificent Manor. Presumably your sister told you that His Royal Highness will live there for the time being, and you must try to attract the prince and fight for your sister, so that she will no longer feel afraid of the future. Don't worry, the general and I will help you. ”

Sally smiled bitterly: "Only when you are open in your heart and indifferent to the world, you will not have a feeling of fear." If my sister does this, she will only become more and more afraid, knowing that she will be forced into a dead end and will never be able to get out of the labyrinthine abyss again. ”

Gotland was confused: "What do you say, Sally?" You must not behave so strangely in front of the prince, or your sister's hard work will be in vain. ”

Sally nodded reluctantly, limping behind like a ghost until she got into the pink carriage.

The winter landscape of Gemie Village remains the same, with the pale blue sky and the silvery white earth intertwining in the air, creating a strange magic that makes the air feel as if the aurora has melted into it.

Standing in the snow, Rayla looked at the snow stains on her cotton shoes and covered up some of the small holes in them. She blushed slightly and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince beside her, pursed her lips and smiled, and the moisture on her eyelashes rendered her moving eyes a gentle beauty.

The prince stared blankly at Rayla, he had never seen such a simple and beautiful scene, and the girl's melancholy expression was full of yearning for nature, delicate

It seems to contain powerful energy in its body.

He thought to himself: I really want to know more about Rayla's inner world.

Rayla noticed the prince's tactful gaze, a little embarrassed, bowed her head slightly, and whispered: "Your Royal Highness, it would be nice if stepmother didn't come back today." ”

"Why do you say that, is there anything you're unhappy about?" The prince seemed to sense the fear in Rayla's eyes, stepped forward, lowered his head, and looked at Rayla with affection.

"I'm not happy, yes, I hate my stepmom." Pure and straightforward, Rayla didn't hesitate to speak her mind.

The prince frowned: "How is your stepmother treating you badly?" ”

Rayla pouted and told the prince all the grievances she had suffered.

"Enough!" Before he could finish listening to Rayla, the prince suddenly spoke. Although the prince's tone was gentle, there was anger that could not be hidden.

Rayla noticed this, and her heart trembled slightly: "Your Royal Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Hmph, I thought you were a tolerant and generous, pure girl like a lotus. However, I didn't expect you to have such a deep hatred in your heart! The prince put his hands behind his back, and disappointment and anger crept up on his face.

This situation caught Rayla off guard, you know, she really likes the prince, and the prince is the only bargaining chip she has to turn over now, she can't miss the opportunity, she can't let the prince misunderstand herself.

She hurriedly explained: "Your Royal Highness, what I said is true, without the slightest exaggeration or fiction. My stepmother asked my sister to marry the poorest shoemaker in the village and not give her a dowry. ”

"You look down on shoemakers?" The prince squinted his eyes, "The shoemaker also eats by his craft. ”

"I don't look down on Mr. Shoemaker, I just don't think he's a good match for my sister."

"But I've seen a picture of your sister, and it's really ugly, and it's enough for a shoemaker." The prince turned, his tone mixed with anger.

"How can you say that? After all, my sister is the daughter of the lord of the manor, and she is a noble lady! Rayla was a little anxious, and her tone quickened slightly.

"Miss Noble?" The prince looked Rayla up and down with a mocking smile, "I don't think you look like a noble lady, and I'm afraid your sister is not a noble lady either." ”

"The reason why my sister and I are downcast is because of my stepmother, who used stratagms to take away my family's assets and killed my father!" Rayla's voice trembled as she was about to get out.

"Oh my God." The prince gave her a blank look, "How can you slander your stepmother like this, she is the guardian of you and your sister for many years, and she married your sister off!" I thought you were a kind and pure girl, but I didn't expect your heart to be so vicious. With that, the prince turned and walked away, leaving poor Rayla alone shivering in the snow.

More precisely, Rayla's whole body trembled, crying.

Rayla was a little angry and scolded the prince behind his back, "You idiot! What a prince! You don't even understand normal words, you don't deserve to be the heir to the throne of this country! Although she felt extremely regretful after saying these disrespectful words, she really couldn't help herself, because the prince was really excessive.

The prince stopped, turned around, and shouted at Rayla, "I tell you, this is the first and last time, and if you scold me like this again, I will definitely let my men take you to prison!" With that, he left, a decisive figure that made Rayla feel desperate.
