Chapter 6: Angels

"By the way, why hasn't your brother come back yet?" Lu Qing hugged Betsy, always feeling a little awkward, so he found a topic at random. "It seems like the plane was delayed. But it's okay, he has already called his mother just now, and he will be home in about two or three hours. Betsy replied.

After the dance was over, it was already about ten o'clock in the evening. In the expectation of everyone, Carol Burke finally spoke: "I think everyone has been looking forward to that mysterious collection very much, and now the time is almost right, please come with me." At this point, Mrs. Anata came out: "Owen is almost home, so I won't go to see it." Ladies and gentlemen, go with my husband. ”

"My brother hasn't been back for a long time, and my mother misses him very much." Betsy looked at Lu Qing and said, "Are you also interested in your father's collection?" "Well, Miss Becky, have you ever seen that treasure?" "I don't know, my father's collection of rare things has gone, and I'm not interested in those things." Betty pursed her lips, she was not interested in these things, but seeing Lu Qing's expectant face, the words changed: "However, I want to see what good things my father has secretly hidden, so I will reluctantly accompany you to see it this time." ”

Carol Burke had drunk a lot of wine today, and not only was his cheeks red, but he also stumbled a little when he walked several times. It can be seen that he is in a very good mood today. After the banquet, he led everyone to his study. Carol Burke's study is so large that it looks like a small museum, and there are many valuable ornamental objects in the study, which is dazzling just to look at.

Carol Burke walked over to a bookshelf and pulled a normal book from the cabinet. Everyone was a little curious, could it be that what he was going to show this time was just this humble book? At this time, Lu Qing found that behind the book, there seemed to be a small ED screen. Carol Burke leaned her face up, only to hear a "drop", and then the whole cabinet suddenly flipped over, revealing a narrow staircase.

"This ......" Everyone didn't expect that there was a hole behind his study, and even Elena and Betsy were shocked, completely unaware that their father was hiding such a hand. Come with me. Carol Burke smiled mysteriously: "There will be even bigger surprises next." After going up the stairs, he pushed open a wooden door. Because of the darkness in the room, everyone's eyes had some difficulty adjusting to the darkness.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?" Charles knew that Elena had always been afraid of the dark, and subconsciously clenched the little hand of the beautiful woman next to him. Elena smiled happily, and at this moment she suddenly felt that the night was not so terrible. "Guys, please don't blink." Carol Burke, who seemed to be accustomed to such scenes, walked into the house in the dark, and then opened the window.

When the moonlight entered the house, everyone could finally see the scene inside the house. "It's coming!" James clenched his fists with some excitement. The area of this room is not large, and everyone's eyes are focused on the wall at the moment. In the light of the moon, Carol Burke uncovered the black cloth on the wall, revealing the true face of the mysterious collection.

"Too ...... It's so beautiful! Lady Beatrice covered her mouth in surprise, and not only her, but also Becky and Elena's eyes widened in surprise. On the wall is an oil painting. The oil painting shows a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl's hair was silvery-white, and her skin was unusually crystal clear, with a faint silver halo in the moonlight. It is worth noting that her eyes turned out to be a faint purple. Those eyes are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them. The girl's lips are like soft flowers, the bridge of her nose is delicate and small, and her whole face reveals a faint sadness. She sat barefoot on the edge of the bed, letting the snow-white gauze skirt drag on the floor, without any ornamentation or fancy scene decoration, her beauty had already shocked everyone present.

It's no wonder that Carol Burke once said that the best time to visit is only at night. Under the baptism of this moonlight, the beauty of this oil painting seems to not exist in this world.

"Oh my God, how can there be such a beautiful person? It's an angel! Catherine, the female model, came back from her shock and asked in disbelief. She had always been extremely proud of her beauty, but after seeing this painting, she suddenly began to doubt her life.

"I didn't expect to see this painting again in my lifetime." James' eyes were a little moist. Daniel stared at the painting for a long time before muttering, "I can't believe it's so beautiful." ”

"Mr. Burke, where did you get this painting?" Charles asked eagerly. "Truth be told, I had someone draw this painting many years ago. And the angel in this painting is my eldest daughter, Daphne. Carol Burke's words shocked everyone again. What the? "At this moment, even Elena and Betsy are completely dumbfounded." Father, what's going on? Betsy stepped forward and asked eagerly.

"The person in the painting is your sister, Carol Daphne." Burke kindly touched his daughter's head, and his eyes drifted into the distance: "Forty years ago, my first lady and I gave birth to Devine. However, what we didn't expect was that she actually had a pair of beautiful purple eyes. ”

There are a total of 5 colors of rainbow touch for ordinary humans, namely brown, blue, green, gray and gold, while the purple iris - there are only 600 pairs of such eyes in the world, and the probability is only 1 in 10 million.

Carol Burke and his wife, Elizabeth, were initially pleasantly surprised by their daughter's beauty, but over time, they discovered that Daphne also had albinism and autism. Due to her physical illness, her hair and skin tone have also become extremely white, and her beautiful face and purple eyes make her look unreal.

"Daphne has never been in good health, and because of her frailty, she has been resting at home, and I have never taken her to any events. My wife was heartbroken for Daphne, but the child was always very autistic, and he didn't want to communicate with people all the time, so he just locked himself in a dark room, and it was useless for my wife and I to dissuade him. Carol Burke's face showed sadness.

"On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, I asked someone to paint this portrait of her. However, not long after, Daphne passed away due to illness. The year after her death, my wife, Elizabeth, also became ill and left me after Daphne. And I named this estate after her daughter in honor of her. Carol Burke explained to Betsy that he was devastated by the death of his wife and daughter, and he had not come out of his grief for a long time. After marrying his second wife, Annata, he came out of the haze.

Ananta understood his feelings very well, so neither of the husband and wife ever mentioned this past, and until now, Burke felt that he had a happy family, and he had seen a lot of those past events.

"Sister, she's so pitiful." After hearing this, Betsy's eyes couldn't help but redden. Everyone stopped and admired for a long time, and then reluctantly left. After being received by the servant, he returned to his room.

This night, Lu Qing had a strange dream.
