Chapter 26: Rosehill's Encounter

The Earl of Leach contacted the press on the night of her return, and this morning's newspaper published the news that she had gone from missing to survivor.

She did not give an interview to reporters, and was escorted by Joey into the hospital with a basket of flowers and fruits.

Khaleda and Gigant are in a VIP ward, and both are surprised by Serra's arrival.

"You were told to get on the boat and you ran back again, I thought youβ€”" Khaleda leaned on a large pillow and took the loquat she had handed her a good skin, flattered.

Serra smiled and said, "I forgot to pick up something, thank you for calling me on the boat." ”

"Don't say that, you're reallyβ€”" Caleda waved her hand and thought for a moment before she sighed, "You're the most approachable aristocratic lady I've ever met." ”

Mrs. Gigant agreed, having heard of Serra and knew a little about her, and said, "I have come to the small town of Cumbunia to open a charity hospital, and if you are interested in joining in the future, come to me." ”

Serra pursed her lips, "My pleasure." ”

According to the background of the novel's author, the laziness of the aristocracy will eventually be outlawed by the diligence of the middle class, and the merchants and workers are the mainstream of society, and entrepreneurship is an opportunity to get rich in the early days.

She would not let herself live on the help of the old Earl Lizzie all the time, and it would do her no harm to have a good relationship with them.

After sitting in the hospital room for a while, Serra, who had achieved her goal, walked out with a smile on her face.

"Serra."

A deep, familiar voice with no emotional ups and downs came from the side.

Her smile froze and she turned her head abruptly.

The man was wearing a black coat, standing in the corridor with a slender figure, his short blond hair meticulously combed back, and his pale and deep facial features could never be reproduced.

Here met Roshill, in the unexpected of Serra.

Her eyes moistened in an instant, and her acting skills reached their peak at this moment.

He was five or six meters away from her, but she seemed to run with all her strength.

"You're alive."

Sierra wanted to hug him, but the thought was only in the back of her mind, and she was deeply suppressed.

She forced herself to stop in front of him and keep her distance from him, and carefully looked him up and down, "Did you come to the hospital to be injured?" ”

The girl's trembling and anxious inquiry made Rose Hill slightly startled, he smelled her here, and chose to come here thinking that she was injured.

He said quietly, "No." ”

"That's good." Serra patted her chest, tears in her eyes deflated, "You're here to visit the sick too?" ”

He came to fetch some blood bags that would suit his taste, so that he could eat them when he was hungry.

Rosshill nodded, lowering his eyes to observe Serra.

He heard the thought of her longing to embrace him clearly, and the cold fingers in his pocket moved, the tips of his fingers swept over the women's bracelet underneath.

Serra looked at his cold cheeks, thinking that he didn't want to talk to himself much, pursed his lips and said, "Tonight... Dad invited you over for dinner, will you come? ”

I originally agreed to the invitation letter because I wanted to see her.

"Yes." He whispered.

He was so cold, he didn't like her at all, the thought lingered in his mind, and it was like a virtual megaphone echoing in Roshill's ears.

He frowned, and suddenly wanted to say something, Serra nodded nonchaltly and said quickly: "I'll see Duke Rosehill that night, I'll go back first." ”

She didn't dare to look at the other party's dark eyes again, and hurriedly walked past him with her skirt up, turning and disappearing around the corner.

Rosshill turned, a slight change in his expressionless face.

It was a torture for Sierra to keep her mind alive and not be able to desert.

She had just come out of the hospital to get into Joey's car, when Eric, who was supposed to go back to the jungle, suddenly appeared in front of the car.

He grabbed Serra's arm and looked warily at the entrance of the hospital, as if there was some flood beast inside.

The sudden burst of strength made Serra gasp, "Eric! It hurts. ”

Eric, who reacted, immediately relaxed his hand, "I'm sorry. ”

She grabbed her wrist and rubbed it, "What's wrong?" You didn't go back? ”

"Mind if I take you home?" He looked grim.

Smelling the rancid stench of vampires from afar, Eric couldn't control his worries about Serra.

Serra knew why, and her face was blank, "Of course you can." ”

Joy saw Eric step into his car in his dirt-covered boots, and his heart ached.

Seeing his worried look, Serra wondered, "What's wrong with you?" Why this emoji? ”

"Who did you run into in the hospital?" Eric asked solemnly.

"As for the Duke of Rosehill, Lady Josie has invited him to her house for dinner tonight." Sierra replied.

"Don't eat it." Eric yelled at her anxiously.

"Huh?" Serra's eyes widened, startled by his sudden mania.

Joey kept an eye on the situation in the back row, and warned the rude Orion, "Hey! Pay attention! ”

Realizing that he was too impulsive, facing Serra, who knew nothing, Eric closed his eyes and opened them again, slowed his voice and said, "Don't approach the duke, stay away from him."

Serra was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Duke Rosehill helped me on the ship at that time. ”

"Serra, some things aren't what they seem."

"Of course it's not like it seems, the Duke was arranged for Annahi by Madame Josie, and I will keep my distance from him."

Serra was upset and said, "Do you think I'm going to rob Annahi of someone?" ”

"Not so." Eric gently took her hand, "Anyway, you can keep your distance from him, right?" ”

Looking at the big palm he pressed on the back of his hand, Serra blushed and whispered, "Of course you can." ”

Eric didn't drop her off at the estate, he got off halfway through.

"Serra." He bent over the window.

"Huh?"

He moved his lips, "Remind Annahi that the Duke is not for her." ”

Serra's little face, which was still shy, suddenly drooped, and she said in a low tone, "Oh, I'll convey your meaning to her." ”

Hearing that something was wrong in her tone, Eric was about to open his mouth to explain, when Joey stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly drove away from him.

Feeling as if he had screwed up, Erik's fist swung twice in the air, his boyish face full of chagrin.

β€”β€”

On a remote beach, a whaling ship slowly docks nearby.

In a dark green net on the boat, a beautiful mermaid was tied up and gagged by five flowers.

"What are we going to do with this Kraken? He's rare. ”

"Go and ask the boss of the freak show if he wants it, he's worth a lot of money."

When the whaling ship was trying to catch some small fish near the sea against the wind and waves, the weather above them was rolling thunderclouds, and they wanted to reel in the net and rush back to shore, when a thunderbolt slashed down on the sea a few meters in front of the ship.

As the dazzling thunder passed, they saw the merfolk rise to the surface with its belly flipped.
