Chapter 102: Edward's Inquiry
Liqi greeted him warmly with a cane, "Thank you for taking care of my daughter here for one night, and I will definitely come to the door another day to thank you." ”
They got the news of their two daughters' accidents in the middle of the night last night and rushed to the hospital as soon as possible, but by that time Serra had already fallen asleep against Rosehill, and he didn't let anyone bother them.
Mrs. Josie greeted him in the same way as Annahi, who was in a wheelchair, and Ross Hill bowed slightly, glanced at the girl in the wheelchair with very faint eyes, and turned away.
Annahi sat there with a pale face, staring blankly at the prompt that had just popped up in the system.
Roshill's opinion is minus five.
She hadn't had a good impression of him, and the deduction directly became negative.
Why?
She rolled her eyes in a panic and thought about what had happened recently, and after being pushed into the hospital room by Josie, she suddenly understood when she saw Serra's ruddy little face on the hospital bed.
Is it because she abandoned Serra last night and ran away?
But in that situation, in that situation, why couldn't she run away for her own survival! Isn't that a vampire who has done all the bad things, how could he bother with her about such a thing?
Serra looked at Annahi staring at her, her expression changed back and forth, and she was curious, "What's wrong with your face?" Charley horse? ”
"Nope." Annahi brushed her head.
Mrs. Josie put the fruit basket she brought to the bedside and said pityingly, "When we got the news that you were in the hospital last night, we were all crazy. ”
Lizzie sat on the edge of the bed, his face full of apologies, "Something happened to David's family, and I almost lost you." ”
Serra smiled slightly, not much touched by the fatherly love he showed, "Will you take me home later, Dad?" ”
"Well, Mr. Apu is coming over to investigate last night's accident." Lizzie said with a calm face: "There is a murderer in our town, three people including a police officer have been killed, a road has been destroyed, and you and Annahi are the only witnesses. ”
Lady Josie peeled two apples and gave one to each of the two sisters.
She's always admired her superficial skills.
She nibbled on a crisp apple and nodded, "There have been murders around me for two days in a row, and he should investigate me." ”
She didn't want to remember the events of last night for the time being, and Lizzie's conversation took a big turn, "When is Mr. Ross Hill going to get engaged to you?" ”
Annahi choked on a mouthful of apple in her throat and coughed, "Daddy! Isn't it too early for Sierra to get married! ”
Sierra also laughed and agreed, "It's too early, and we haven't decided on a relationship yet." ”
"No definite relationship? You spent the night in the ward, and I saw you sleeping in your arms. "Lady Josie warned her exaggeratedly;" Men are always fresh to women, do you just let him play with you? This is not good, what do people think of you? Don't let yourself fall. ”
There was an indescribable sarcasm in her tone, and Serra retorted, "Why not?" Don't you and your dad sleep in each other's hugs all day? Daddy's affection for you is temporary? Is he just playing with you, for more than ten years? That's not going to work, Mrs. Josie, what do people think of you? ”
Mrs. Josie, who was sitting on the chair next to her, turned white with a brush, and this was a clear ridicule that she had no identity, and she had followed Lizzie for more than ten years.
Annahi also said uncomfortably: "Serra! Don't talk to your mother like that. ”
When it comes to angering people, Sierra always has her own set.
Liqi's distressed expression also succeeded at this moment, he stood up on crutches, and said angrily: "How long do you want to blame me?" Even if I am doing my best to make up for your past and make up for your lack of fatherly love, you are still not satisfied!? ”
Serra laughed and said, "You must have known about the compensation, Leicestershire and Cumbunia are only a week's steamer, why didn't you come to see me?" ”
"It's Crimances who refuses to let me meet with you!" Lizzi argues with reason.
"Really? You can always find a way to give me a call, right? Why wait until the funeral is over to remember to bring me back? ”
It's just that the matter is too big, and the aristocratic scandal is really not good, so Lizzie wants to take her back, and she has always understood it.
Of course, he felt a lot of guilt after seeing her, but compared to Josie and Annahi, who had been with him for more than ten years, everything was insignificant.
The so-called just and pampered Libra will never be biased in her favor.
"You're getting more and more vexatious!" Li Qi's face flushed angrily, "It's like two people who came back to me, and all the etiquette and upbringing were thrown away by you!" ”
Sierra was equally aggressive, "Lady Josie instructed the servant to stumble on me, and I was almost disfigured, and Annahi deliberately killed her own rabbit and told you that I did it, and I drove her away last night in fear of it, and what happened?" ”
She took a deep breath, "As a result, she left me and ran away on her own, without even saying hello and apologies, do you know how desperate I was at that time?" You know the truth of everything, but you never stand up for me in a real sense. ”
"I went back and called for help! I didn't leave you behind! Annahi immediately retorted, tears welling up in her eyes, "You don't have to frame me like this. ”
Serra turned her head and smiled, "I thank you, but it's a pity for your non-talkable mouth." ”
Edward came in at an inopportune time, and the atmosphere in the family was tense.
He still had gauze wrapped around his forehead and a notebook in his hand, "I heard that Miss Sierra is hospitalized, and I came to offer my condolences and talk about the lost mermaid by the way." ”
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Josie got up and pushed her wheelchair daughter away, and Lizzie slowed down for a moment before asking him to sit.
Edward said, "I'd like to talk to Miss Sierra alone. ”
When the door to the ward closed, he sat in Lizzie's place.
"Did you just get out of an argument?"
"Thanks to you, I was interrupted before I could finish the argument."
Edward was silent for three seconds before deciding to get to the point.
"The merfolk escaped after Thomas and I were injured, as far as I know the merfolk can swim by their tails on land, they can't escape far after being dehydrated for too long, and I can't think of any other burglar who is familiar with the environment in Mawson Manor, knows where the mermaid is and takes it away."
This was another suspicion on her head, and Serra asked lightly, "Do you have any suspicions?" ”
"You were so close to the mermaid that it escaped with your help, but you also saved my life at the time, and I didn't tell Master Lizzie about my suspicions." Edward said, "The merfolk are of great research value, and I just want you to tell me where to hide it." ”
Serra touched the arm that held the splint in place, and said calmly, "You have caught mermaids a long time ago, and you know their habits well, what are you trying to find with that mermaid?" ”
