Chapter 24: The Way Home
Perhaps it was a good impression of the couple, but Bishop Lynch actually accompanied Grandma Bertha to the door an hour later.
After checking again, he swore that there was no problem with the child and that there was no need to worry too much.
Although Catherine was skeptical, she could only put away her temper and carefully inquire about Lynch, the most authoritative healing priest she could find at the moment.
"Madame, don't worry, if it's just a simple replenishment of divine power, then even the priests of Luoma Town can do it, it's nothing more than a rude and crude method.
But my magic focuses on subtle probing and subtle manipulation.
During the entire casting process, the frequency of the transmission of divine power has always been consistent with the vibration of Xiao Gongzi's own spiritual power, and it has been adjusted at any time according to the feedback of the condition during the repair, and there have been no accidents.
At this moment, the soul origin of the little boy has returned to calm, the shock is powerful and the rhythm is stable, no different from ordinary children, or even better.
As for the current vision, it is only temporary, and it will get better and better as he grows.
After all, for any disease, we need to patiently give it a recovery process, which is nothing more than a matter of the length of time of this process. ”
Helplessly, Lynch insisted that there was no problem with her judgment, just let her remember her past criticism, and walked away with her hands behind her back, making Catherine so angry that she wanted to scold.
If Phil could open his eyes at this moment, he would be sure that this was a quack doctor and a magic stick, and his appearance was very similar to his race in his previous life.
The child's abnormality can't be hidden, especially the elderly in the family.
It's a pity that both the old Councillor Cohen and the several priests secretly invited by Lord Earl Brad through their connections have also said that the child is okay after the inspection.
And even in a way, the health is a mess.
Let the mood of these adults go up and down, and they are uneasy.
The joyful atmosphere in the house gradually faded, becoming somewhat quiet and depressing, and sighed for the unfortunate and strange fate of the child.
When the winter haze gradually dissipated, I saw that the child was about to be two months old.
Catherine just guards her fat son every day, taking care of her more carefully, and she doesn't even notice that she has lost a lot of weight.
Let the mother Helen and Grandma Bertha see it in their eyes and feel distressed.
The atmosphere at home is weird, and there are inevitably all kinds of speculation and discussion from the outside world.
Even if Old Byrne punished a few servants who loved to chew the root of his tongue, it would be to no avail.
Perhaps because of her mother's strength, Catherine, who was originally a little soft, also underwent some transformations unconsciously, and her face no longer had the misery and self-pity of the past, but calmly and strongly.
After discussing with Matthew, Catherine solemnly announced her decision to her parents and family that she would return to Horse Town with her children.
Although the imperial capital is prosperous, with abundant materials and many priests, the people are too sophisticated.
If she and her children continue to stay here, they will only worry about themselves, their parents will worry, and the whole family will be immersed in the pressure of gossip, which is not conducive to the growth of children.
Although the town of Luoma is small, the interpersonal relationship is simple, and the days on weekdays are more plain and quiet, which is conducive to the body and mind.
What's more, it was closer to the child's father, and she and the child needed that man more than ever, even if he wasn't home at all.
Early one early spring morning, without informing anyone else, Catherine simply boarded the train back to Lok Ma with her two-month-old son in her arms.
It wasn't until the train started slowly and the scenery outside the window slowly retreated that Catherine, who had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her waist, which had been straight, lost a trace of her spirit and bent down slightly.
She didn't know whether she was doing this because she was embarrassed and running away or simply for her son.
But looking at her sleeping son's chubby little face, she felt that she was doing the right thing, and she couldn't help but cheer herself silently in her heart.
You'll be a good mother, Catherine, and be strong.
Mighty steel monsters spewed billowing white smoke and galloped across the vast land of the Wardsman Empire.
Along the way, the beautiful scenery of manors, villages and towns, mountains and lakes exudes a unique rugged and beautiful temperament.
But Catherine in the carriage had no time to appreciate it, and insisted on breastfeeding and taking the and urine herself every day, so that the connection between her and the child became closer and closer.
The closed and long journey home has become a journey of self-inquiry for her.
A woman who is just 29 years old and still retains the heart of an innocent girl gradually begins to transform into a real mother.
Being strong is never born.
And this journey back is also full of suffering and compromise for the other party.
Every time he wakes up from an unconscious coma, Phil experiences a collision of reason and instinct.
Hungry, he wanted to resist, pulled, he wanted to wait.
In short, no matter how much you swear before, you are full of confidence and desire to be reborn.
At this moment, he realized that his thinking was a little simple, and he was not mentally and physically ready to admit that the beautiful woman in front of him, who was much smaller than his previous life, had become his new mother.
He was ashamed to face unreserved intimacy, and he didn't want to express the discomfort of his little body in a faceless way like crying.
In short, every time he woke up, he behaved awkwardly, so awkward that he felt like a masochist, crazy enough to starve himself, suffocate himself, and stink himself to death.
After going through such a tangled dozen reincarnations, one day, when he came to his senses again, he planned to take a good look at this magical, young woman who always kept within his three meters range, and wanted to understand what kind of person she was.
The woman is concentrating on sewing a cylindrical piece of cloth that looks soft and light.
It's just that the woman's craftsmanship looks a little trendy, and she has to prick her fingers from time to time.
Each time, she didn't pay much attention to the condition of her fingers, just put the injured part in her mouth and sucked it a few times, then carefully avoided it so that the blood on her fingertips did not stain the cloth.
His expression was so focused that he didn't notice the small voyeuristic gaze behind him.
The woman looks to be in her early twenties, with a smooth forehead and clear eyes that accentuate the woman's youthfulness.
And the white blonde soft long hair and the high nose and deep eyes indicate that the woman should resemble the Caucasian race on the earth. Having never been abroad, he had no way of discerning the subtle differences between the races of that region.
Phil shook his little head hard, looked at his fleshy little hands and feet, and saw nothing.
Suddenly, his face changed, he remembered something, and reached out to touch it.
Finally relieved, the baby is still there, fortunately.
The woman's complexion is soft and quiet, and the proportion of her facial features is also very good, and she looks very beautiful, which is very in line with Phil's aesthetics of European and American women when they were young.
It's just that the slightly angular chin makes the woman's temperament appear slightly stiff.
The material of the clothes on the body is smooth and delicate, the style is gorgeous but not cumbersome and vulgar, and the milky white knitted top and the lilac wide pleated long skirt are just right, showing the woman's wealthy family background.
Looking more closely, Phil keenly noticed that neither her slender neck nor her slender fingers were wearing any jewelry, and the clothes on her body were mostly soft and delicate, which made him feel a trace of warmth.
Overall, even if he is picky, Phil is very satisfied with this somewhat strange new mother.
It's been more than an hour since he woke up, and he hasn't felt sleepy yet, and Phil notices that the time each time he wakes up is gradually increasing, which seems to be a good sign.
He didn't notice that the woman had stopped what she was doing at some point, turned around, and happened to meet his gaze.
In a panic, he subconsciously wanted to turn his head and close his eyes, but the woman's movements were very fast, and she had already walked over in two steps.
The next moment, Phil felt his perspective rise, facing the woman's face full of joy.
Phil swore that he definitely wasn't trying to express his joy just now, but the moment he was lifted up, a subconscious joy made the corners of his mouth involuntarily curve upward.
"Haha, you laughed. Baby finally smiled with Mom. ”
Catherine cried out with delight for the first time in more than two months that her son had smiled at her, if only for a moment.
But she was sure that her son liked the high-lifting event.
