Chapter 53: Guilt
Thinking of lying on the carpet near the window this morning, she thought it was quite likely that the expert was saying.
She raised her arm and smelled a strange smell on her sleeve, not fishy, just the smell of sea water that could not be described in words.
And the touch of the fine fish scales wrapped around her skin, she can remember it vividly to this day.
Could it be that Losheed tried to run away with her yesterday?
"Miss Serra, what's wrong with your neck?" Edward asked suddenly.
"What?" Serra touched her neck, but didn't feel any pain there.
"Some erythema, what have you been eating lately?"
The mermaid with his tail and arms tagged violently, his light gray eyelashes trembled violently.
Taking in his mood changes, Serra covered her neck and thought for two seconds, "Being bitten by a stinky mosquito doesn't matter." ”
The bottom of the tank was simply cleaned, and most of the water level was drained, and the people slowly put the mermaid through the broken fence gate.
"It won't take a while for the water to arrive, so let him bubble his tail first." Edward walked over to the table, where the scales the servant had just collected were placed.
Sierra looked at Losheed with his head hanging in the tank, his thick tail quickly regaining his luster under the moisture of the sea, his chin lowered, his fingers gently paddling at the bottom of the tank.
"Tear up."
With an inaudible sound, Sierra saw a series of air bubbles spit out from where his fingers had scratched, and he quickly withdrew his hand, clear sea water seeping from the bottom of the tank and slowly flowing past her feet.
"Lossyd." She frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "You did something wrong and still lost your temper?" ”
The named mermaid flicked its tail and swam into the water and grass pile, and the exposed half-cut large fan-shaped tail fin was impartially covered in the leaky water and bubbles.
"He understands what you're saying and knows what he's doing wrong, and he doesn't seem to have the lowest IQ Miss Sierra describes." Thomas said in amazement, and like Edward, he found a notebook to write and draw on.
"At least a mermaid with no IQ to reach an adult." Serra had no choice but to help her forehead, but if she was a little smarter, she couldn't escape through the tank.
Annahi stood beside her, her hands on her lower abdomen, and her lips sarcastic, "Then you can really do it." ”
Hearing the meaning of her words, Serra replied to her lightly, "The wallpaper outside was scratched by you when you peeped?" The nails are quite sharp. ”
"It turned out that Miss Annahi scratched it, and I thought it was a servant who broke the wallpaper with his hands and feet." The housekeeper in the back suddenly realized.
Lizzie frowned and grasped the point, "What do you see?" ”
Anna Xi, who was suppressed to death, was heartbroken, and her mouth was no longer covered, "I saw Serra kissing that fish yesterday, and I was so shocked that I broke the wallpaper. ”
"Serra!?" Mrs. Josie covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Thinking of the mermaid's special to her, everyone thought about it a little, and they all felt that they would kiss each other as if... It's pretty normal.
Who can resist the beauty of a mermaid?
Edward even looked at the tank and said, "If it's willing to ask for my friendly kiss, I think I'll give it." ”
Serra's face was calm, her eyes turned slightly, and she looked at Lizzi fixedly, "Do you also think that Annahi is telling the truth?" Father. ”
The servant in charge of collecting the newspaper rushed in and shouted, "Oh my God! Big news! More than a dozen gangsters died at Walker's Racecourse yesterday, and Chief Whitman at the police station died this morning! Duke Rosehill was wounded in the rescue, and I think you'll have to go over right away! ”
Lizzie looked at the girl's emotionless face, and her eyes were indescribably complicated.
Her daughter really almost died yesterday, and she didn't plan to say it to worry him.
It dawned on him that he had never really given much thought to this daughter since Serra arrived home, and that he had been berating Annahi for her tears almost every time.
"Sir?" Josie touched his arm, which was quickly waved away.
"Everyone is out except Annahi and Serra."
As Lizzie finished speaking, servants and experts swarmed out.
He looked at Annahi and said in a stern tone: "Your sister almost died in the betting house yesterday, did you come back and only know to complain to your mother that she isolated you?" Still slandering her for kissing a fish today? Why, exactly? Are you jealous too much?! ”
"I don't know what's going on." Annahi lowered her arms and hurriedly explained, she really didn't understand how this fire had inexplicably burned to her.
"You don't know? Why didn't you take her home when you came back from the race? Lizzie questioned sternly, slamming the newspaper that the servant had just brought at her feet.
"I," said Annahi impatiently, "I thought she would come back with Mira." ”
Lizzie turned his head and yelled outside the door, "Go call Joey in and ask him why he didn't bring Serra with him yesterday!" ”
"Master, don't be so angry with the child." Josie hugged his arm and whispered comfort.
Serra, who was watching the family ethics drama again, was relishing, and the mermaid in the tank also showed half of her side face, staring at her quietly.
Joey ran in, he was first startled by the big black tail of the mermaid in the tank, and then stepped on the stagnant water leaking from the floor and almost slipped, and finally stabilized his body, before he hurriedly spoke, "Miss Annahi was going to have cake with Mr. Eric, and she didn't let me take Miss Serra, but Mr. Eric found out that something had happened at the racecourse and rushed back. ”
In other words, Annahi was not unaware of Serra's accident, and even Eric got out of the car to save people, and she didn't look back.
Liqi was angry and wanted to speak again, but Qiao Qian beside him took the first step and sharply reprimanded, "Go and eat cake with a hunter?" What do you think, Annahi? You've got a bad brain! How many times have I reminded you!? ”
"I just wanted to bring two pieces back with me on the way! It's Sierra who wants to eat cake with Eric! ”
Sierra was about to hold back the calm expression on her face, and she tugged at the flesh of her arm, barely holding back the corners of her lips that wanted to turn up.
Faced with the anger of both parents scolding and about to start, Annahi once again used her crying skills to run away.
Joey was also frightened by this atmosphere and hurriedly retreated.
Lizzie took a few deep breaths before he looked at Serra, who was standing in front of the tank silently, and softened his tone and said, "Serra, I have to tell my father about anything in the future." ”
"Can I trust you?" Sierra asked softly.
"You are the daughter of the Climans, my daughter, and I will always be on your side." Lizzie assured her.
As soon as Josie heard Crimans' name, her heart was pounded like a hammer, and the pain was extremely uncomfortable.
Serra finally showed a faint joy and nodded obediently, "Thank you, Dad." ”
After everyone had left the lab, she turned back to Losheed in the tank and whispered, "I'm going to go back and take a shower and eat something now, and if someone comes to fix the tank, will you be nice?" ”
