45 Chapter 45

Suddenly learning that there might be a Twilight in this world, Winnie has to wonder how complicated the world really is.

Maybe it's actually a cinematic universe?

She silently took out her mobile phone and frantically searched the Internet for "Gotham", "Batman", "Tony Stark", "Bruce Wayne" and so on with a vague sense of excitement, but found nothing.

Winnie:......

I want to swear.

"What's wrong with you?" Dean asked curiously.

Winnie stared at him until Dean began to touch his face before she said faintly, "The Lord God hates me, he gives everything, but he refuses to give me a handsome, golden-headed, and intelligent man." ”

Dean:......

"God won't bother with such a thing." Dean said that the world is full of ghosts, and the demons in hell have run out again and again, and they haven't seen what those guys in heaven do.

"The Lord God I am talking about is not God."

"Who's that?" Dean subconsciously began to think about what sects used "Lord God" as a pronoun.

"An egg that glows." In fact, it wasn't even an egg, and they could only see a virtual light curtain on their watch.

This answer entered Dean's knowledge blind spot, he had never heard of a denomination where the god was an egg.

After dinner, the two went to see a movie, and neither Winnie nor Dean had any interest in romantic literary films, so they chose a sci-fi monster film after discussion.

In a dark movie theater, surrounded by the aroma of popcorn. When the movie was put halfway through, the sound of men and women kissing came from the front and back seats. Soon Winnie felt a hand touching her side.

Winnie stared blankly at the movie screen and slapped it on the back of Dean's hand with a quick and precise "snap".

Dean silently withdrew his hand, racking his brains and began to remember where he had offended her today, and when he came out in the morning, the atmosphere was quite good, and Winnie complained that he was flamboyant. Is it time to buy clothes? No wonder he came out and said that he was old, and said that he was a handsome man with a golden head and a smart head.

Listening to the chirping of the couples around him, Dean regretted it a little, he knew that he was a little more resolute at that time, how did he know that she cared so much about "sovereignty".

Originally, Dean wanted to make up for it while dinner, but after watching the movie, he received a call from Bobby the Witcher, who had a job to solve. There was no way, Dean had to send Winnie home first and then pick up Sam to work.

Dean stood at the door of Winnie's house and said reluctantly, "Goodbye Winnie." He didn't know if they would come here again after this separation.

Winnie, who was sent home, didn't know what Dean had misunderstood, and she waved at Dean, "Goodbye." ”

When she got home, Lisa quickly came over to ask Winnie about today's date and wanted to ask about their progress.

"There's no progress, I don't want to have anything to do with him." Seeing Lisa's disbelief, Winnie reluctantly explained, "He is very good, but the work is too busy and dangerous, and I hope to find someone who can always accompany me." ”

Lisa: "Are you sure?" "Dean is really attractive, can a girl of Winnie's age really resist it?

Winnie raised her hand and swore: "I'm sure!" ”

Seeing that she insisted, Lisa stopped talking about it, and asked about this kind of thing

Too much can be counterproductive.

When it gets dark, families sit down at their tables and prepare for dinner, including the Coleman family, who lives on the edge of town.

Today they have a special guest, Abi Gale, a nun from the orphanage where Esther was staying. From the nun, Kate and John learn that Esther's previous home had been hit by fire, and that no one survived except Esther, and that the arsonist had not yet been found. In addition to this, there have been large and small events in the orphanage, and every time Esther was present.

Although the nun doesn't say it explicitly, Kate also realizes that her adopted daughter, Esther, may really have a problem. Could this well-behaved 9-year-old girl have anything to do with the arson? Was it Esther who killed her family? But this is inevitably too frustrating, even Kate can't believe it.

Kate only felt chills all over her body, but her husband John thought it was a coincidence, after all, Esther was very well-behaved and sensible, and she didn't look like a murderer no matter how she looked at it.

So the atmosphere at the table tonight was a little dull, Kate was sullen, and John pretended to talk to the children once in a while, as usual. Daniel didn't know why, and ate his meal quietly. Esther looked at Kate quietly, talking to John with an innocent smile on her face.

Max, the youngest sister in the family, lowered her big eyes, glanced in Esther's direction with fear in her eyes. The new sister is the devil and a murderer who killed the visiting nun today and dragged the body into the river.

Max is threatened with being involved in the murder process, and Esther threatens to kill herself and her mother if she tells the story.

Max held back her tears, she didn't want to die, she didn't want her parents to die, Esther would definitely set a fire to burn it all down like before.

As if sensing Max's thoughts, Esther turned her head and smiled at her little sister, causing Max to immediately bow his head. Kate's heart sank when she noticed this scene, and she was worried about whether Esther had bullied her daughter when she didn't know it.

My daughter can't speak, and she can't say anything that happens. At this moment, Kate regretted adopting this child incomparably and brought unforeseen troubles to her life.

While she was going to bed at night, Kate told John again that she wanted to take Esther to a psychiatrist.

"There's got to be something wrong with her, believe me John, maybe she's some kind of sociopath?" Kate sat on her knees on the bed, looking at her husband with some chagrin. She realized that she was now a vexatious and suspicious neurotic in the eyes of her husband.

Maybe in his opinion, he is the one who needs to go to the doctor. This situation left Kate with nowhere to plead, and she collapsed and was helpless

What.

John wiped his face helplessly and irritably, and said, "Did you know that doing this would hurt Esther?" She's just a 9 year old! God, how can you believe that a child can kill her parents? ”

"John! I'm here for this home! I can't let my kids get hurt! Kate exclaimed in a low voice, trying to keep her temper in order not to look like a psychopath!

John saw that he was about to quarrel, so he reluctantly put on a gesture of surrender, and said unhappily: "Okay, I will listen to you." He took a deep breath: "If the inspection finds that there is no problem, I hope you can treat your adopted daughter fairly." We brought her back, and we are responsible for her, she calls you Mommy! Kate, I hope you understand. ”

He finally agreed, but Kate wasn't happy about it. She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to spit out the suffocation in her chest, but how could the grievances in her heart be easily resolved?

At the door of the room, Esther put her ear to the door with a blank face, and when she heard John agree to take her to a psychiatrist, she clenched her fists angrily, turned and left the doorway, and walked towards her room with a gloomy face.

The next day, the couple dropped their two children off at school and took Esther alone to the psychoclinic for which they had made an appointment. After the inspection, the three of them returned home in silence.

Looking at Kate's defeated back, Esther smiled vaguely, and when she turned around, she looked uneasy again: "Dad, does Mom not like me?" "She looked very pitiful.

John knew that this would happen, and their behavior of taking Esther to see a psychiatrist today deeply hurt the child's heart. John felt sorry, but had to make amends for his wife.

"How so? She loves you too, but if she cares, you know? John leaned down and put his hand on the girl's shoulder and whispered comfort.

He remembered that the psychiatrist had mentioned that Esther was very sensible and sensitive, so he used her own way to please Kate, and Kate's behavior made her feel stressed.

Thinking of Kate's mental state, John also felt a deep sense of helplessness. Obviously, there is no problem with Esther's psychology, but she lacks some sense of security, and it is Kate who is really problematic.

Esther looked at the man in front of her who patiently comforted her, this man Kate didn't cherish, she couldn't help but stretch out her hands around his neck and put her face on his neck: "I love you, I will make my mother like me." ”

What a sensible and caring child!

John patted Esther on the back with relief: "You're so sweet, Mom, she'll understand." He didn't see the girl in his arms with jealousy and malice on her face.

After today's events, Esther knew that Kate was already an enemy she had to eradicate. If she still wants to stay in this house and still want John, then Kate must disappear in this house.

Divorce or being put in a psychiatric hospital, it's up to you to come first.

When she first joined the family, Esther knew that Kate had lost a child before and adopted her. Kate also named the child who was not born, Jessica. And in the garden, there is a small tombstone engraved with Jessica, on which is planted a white rose, representing the child.

Esther stood in front of the rose with scissors in her hand, she had wanted to off the rose representing "Jessica" to anger Kate, but unfortunately it was winter. But it doesn't matter, Kate will go crazy if you kill this flower.

So while everyone was not looking, Esther poured a pot of boiling water into the roots of the rose. After making sure that enough boiling water had been added, Esther left satisfied.

Two days later, the death of the rose's root system finally reached its leaves, and Kate noticed that something was wrong with the rose that night, and it was at this time that Esther, who had been secretly watching Kate, knew that it was time for him to act.

This morning, Esther noticed that the leaves of the rose were starting to dry and curl, and she bought a bouquet of white roses with John after school to "reconcile" with Kate.

"Mom would love it

Is it? Esther asked John with an expectant look.

John nodded: "Of course, Mom loves roses." He smiled encouragingly at Esther.

In fact, he never imagined that Kate was so stubborn that she needed a child to bow to her.

With John's encouragement, Esther happily ran towards the small garden with a bouquet of white roses in her hand. When she turned her back, there was an undisguised evil smile on her face.

Kate, who found out that the rose died suddenly, is still in a state of collapse, because this is obviously man-made, this piece is not just planted with a rose, but only the rose representing Jessica is dead!

"No, why is that?" In a trance, Kate seemed to see the lost child again.

At this time, a voice sounded next to her: "Mom." ”

Kate turned her head and saw Esther holding a bouquet of white roses and asked her meaningfully, "Do you like it for you?" As he spoke, he smiled maliciously.

"It's you!" Boundless anger rushed into Kate's chest, this scheming and disguised murderer, provoked her again and again, and now dared to kill her Jessica!

"Smack!" Kate slapped Esther hard and shouted angrily, "How dare you?!" ”

Esther's face was slapped to the side, and she looked expressionlessly at Kate, who seemed to be in a madness and wanted to fight with her, and suddenly screamed and cried: "Ah!! I was wrong! Please! Mommy don't hit me! ”

Esther cried bitterly, "Daddy!! Daddy, help me! ”

John, who heard the movement behind him, hurriedly ran over, and when he ran to the scene, he saw Kate as if she was crazy, cursing Esther and beating her, while the poor little girl cried helplessly and cowered at the railing, with the bouquet of white roses under her feet.

Seeing this, a wave of anger swelled up in John's heart, and he rushed over and pushed Kate away, holding Esther in his arms, and yelling at Kate: "Are you crazy?!" ”!
