Chapter 220: Angel's Brother
Knock, knock, knock.
Outside the door, heavy wooden crutches tapped the floor in a slow rhythm, making a deep, lonely sound. Ivan was stunned and hurriedly got up.
Cautiously opening the door, Angel stood in the shadow of the hallway, looking up at him.
"I'm sorry, did I bother you?"
Angel's expression was slightly gloomy, and although the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she wanted to squeeze out a polite smile, there was no pleasant curvature at the corners of her eyes. Ivan chuckled in his heart, Angel shouldn't have overheard anything! But after thinking about it, even if he did, it would be fine, and they didn't talk about Angel.
He was just thinking about Angel just now.
"No, are you going to come in?" There were extra wooden chairs in the room. Ivan stared at Angel's soft light dark brown hair that was gently shaking, and stepped aside. Aisha hurried over.
"Hello, Angel. She greeted with concern, "Are you alright?"
Angel fell down the stairs today, and Mr. Grand immediately took her back to her room, but fortunately she was not seriously injured.
"Come and sit down. Aisha held out her hand.
Angel shook her head, lowered her eyes, and stared at the tips of her feet for a moment.
"I ...... I'm here to apologize. Because, Miss Trander said she would come and play with me, but I was moving out......"
Angel's bloodless fingers clenched the cane hard, her long hair hanging down from her face, and even Ivan standing next to her could only see the smiling movement of her lips. Ivan's head was buzzing, Angel was moving out, why? because they were going to live here?
"You, you're moving out?"
Ivan turned his head sideways, staring at her as if trying to make sure she wasn't lying, feeling a little weak. Angel nodded slowly, "Today...... No, it's supposed to be tomorrow, I'm going to move somewhere else. β
She wasn't even sure about the time, where was she going to move? Recently, this time was not like usual, there might be demon soldiers outside the city, and it was inconvenient to travel in a short time.
"Somebody's going to pick me up, though. Angel suddenly smiled, the corners of her mouth crooked innocently, as if she was really happy, "Please don't worry, I'm fine." β
Angel's happy appearance was a little overwhelming.
"Ah, ohβyes, Angel's friend?" Seeing that Angel was suddenly so happy, Aisha couldn't say anything to hold on, so she could only ask with a smiling smile of concern.
"Not a friend. Angel looked up, leaned forward slightly, and held her cane. Those glassy purple eyes actually sparkled a little.
"He's my brother. β
Does Angel have a brother?
Didn't she say she was adopted?
"Wow! Angel has a brother?" said Aisha, too, taken aback.
"It's not my own brother...... Angel smiled shyly and cutely, "I've only been with him for five years, and then I ...... Later, he moved to other places, and I came to the north, in fact, just to ...... See him. β
"So Angel has already made contact with her brother?"
"Hmm...... Today...... Met in person. Angel smiled away from Ashia's gaze, tilting her head slightly, squinting at the clean floor.
"Is there anything you need help with?" although you can't play with Angel, but if there's anything you need help with, please tell us!" At this time, Aisha didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Angel, she didn't know what Carlo called her, but she was sincerely happy that Angel saw her brother. She walked over, bent down, and folded her hands on Angel's crutches. Ivan heard Angel inhale hard.
"Well, okay. Angel nodded a little embarrassedly, "If ......," she said, she lowered her head as if she was embarrassed, "If my brother doesn't come to pick me up, I, I, I can only ask you for help......"
"No problem!" replied Isha briskly.
"Thanks, thanks...... Well, I'll go back to my room and rest. β
"Okay! goodbye Angel!"
Angel went back.
Staring diagonally across from the closed dark brown wooden door, Ivan frowned, not knowing whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or be more worried.
If Carlo told them not to stay in this hotel because of Angel, then after Angel moved out, there was no need for them to leave in a hurry. Did Angel move away because of them? What was her plan, and where was she going to move to carry it out?
She...... Who the hell is she? Does she really have a brother?
Of course, Ivan would not take this opportunity to ask Angel to understand, how could he ask, tell her what Carlo said? Of course not, Carlo said that sentence unintentionally, and Angel knew what she would do. He couldn't discuss it with Aisha, because with Aisha's personality, he might run to Angel's room and ask questions, and then get into a lot of trouble.
Angel seemed unusual, and Ivan didn't know which word he should believe her.
The night in Price City was eerily quiet, and the heavy wooden doors were closed tightly and the thick window guards were drawn to keep the north wind from pouring into their rooms warmed by the fireplace.
The patrol soldier walked with an anxious but unhurried footstep and made a short drum beat on the stone slab of the street, but the people in the room could not hear it clearly. The fireplace beeps and burns the stored charcoal, and the young couple tells stories to the children and urges them to go to bed early, all hoping that the night will be safe and sound, and that the alarm bells of the demons will not be heard.
Ivan's room was next door to Angel's room, and the window also faced the street where the gate was located, which was quite close to Angel's window.
Ivan also chose this room for a reason, he couldn't help but care about Angel's identity, and he could make Carlo show that expression and recklessly reprimand him, Angel definitely had a problem. Even though he felt that it was useless for him to know, he just wanted to know.
Angel's activities are inconvenient, and she shouldn't go out at night. Even though he thought so, Ivan did not rest early, but sat on the bed in his coat and waited quietly.
There wasn't even a table clock in the room, and he looked at his pocket watch and waited until nearly midnight.
...... It's really a lot of heart.
Angel is probably going to postpone her plans, it seems that she will not be doing anything tonight, maybe she really plans to move out tomorrow. Ivan put away his pocket watch and let out a sigh.
I'll talk about it tomorrow morning.
Puff puff -
Coo-goo-goo, goo-goo-goo......
What is this sound?
It was as if a pigeon had been caught, and it was calling desperately and flapping its wings. Ivan bounced out of bed, leaned against the window, and pricked up his ears to listen.
Someone lifted the window guards, and the wooden boards made a screeching sound when they rubbed against the wall. Ivan gasped softly, he didn't lift his window guards, which would undoubtedly be discovered. He just leaned against the wall and eavesdropped.
Alas, eavesdropping must be Na'er's little wildcat's preference...... However, when people are curious and worried, they really can't control themselves.
Someone's coming.
Bang.
Something landed lightly on the floor, and then, again, there was the sound of a pigeon flapping its wings. The voices were not too loud, and when mixed with the sudden sound of the wind, Ivan could not make out what was going on. But there is no doubt that someone jumped into Angel's room through the window.
And then--
All voices seemed to be weakened, and Angel's sweet call and the salutation she used grabbed Ivan's heart like a sharp claw. Suddenly, Ivan forgot to breathe.
"Brother Rey, you've finally come to see me!"
