Nelly pushed open the door with a happy expression. ：

"Mother, guess who I met. ”

Rebecca asked with a smile:

"Who did you meet?"

Nelly happily announced:

"Uncle Herwen! I've met him. ”

But to Nelly's surprise, Rebecca didn't show much surprise and had a calm face.

The woman took off her white silk gloves:

"Oh, did you tell him anything?"

Nelly frowned slightly:

"Mother, aren't you excited?"

Rebecca stretched out her hands on Nelly's shoulders and looked at her daughter with serious eyes:

"No, I'm not excited, Nelly, I've already met Herwin. ”

Nelly had a confused look on her face:

"But, but, mother, why didn't you tell me?"

Rebecca shook her head:

"I don't want to see him. ”

Nelly blinked suspiciously, her voice a little hesitant:

"What does that mean?"

Rebecca reached out and held her daughter's cheek, closed her eyes and took a deep breath:

"I saw Herwin, we were less than thirty meters apart, we both saw each other, he didn't stop me, I didn't stop him.

"Do you know what flashed through my mind at the first sight of him?"

Nelly was silent.

Rebecca says:

"It's your father's face, Nelly, I see Ogden. ”

Nelly lowered her head, although she didn't say it, but when she met Hervin, she actually thought of her father deep down.

I remembered my father's laughter, my father's face, and my father's not very good jokes.

I remembered the fact that my father had died.

If she is so uncomfortable, her mother will only suffer more than herself.

Nelly whispered:

"I'm sorry, I ......"

Rebecca touched her daughter's face:

"No, I know you're in pain too, but I can't bear to think of Ogden again, so I didn't stop him, and I didn't plan to stop him, because I didn't want to see Herwin again.

"I don't want to dwell on the pain of the past again, even for a moment. ”

Rebecca said with a serious expression:

"Nelly, tell me, what Herwin told you. ”

Nelly said with a dodge in her eyes:

"I invited him to our house......

"I thought you and Jimmy would welcome him......"

Rebecca shook her head helplessly:

"Are you serious, Nelly, you still want Jimmy to see Herwin, don't you know how much everything that has happened to us has hurt him.

"I managed to paralyze him and bring him out of the shadows of the past, but now he barely talks to his family now, and every day when he comes home he hides in his room and doesn't know what he's thinking.

"Isn't it possible that you want to make Jimmy's situation worse?"

Nelly shook her head.

Rebecca says:

"You're a little too excited, Nelly, I don't know what's going on, but don't you think you're a little weird about Hervin?"

Nelly argued:

"But he saved us. ”

Rebecca replied:

"Yes, so I'm grateful to Herwin, and I want to, and I'm sure to repay him, but that doesn't mean we have to throw him a banquet and announce to the rest of the world that this is the man who killed Ogden.

"Does it have to be like this? My daughter, I really don't want to recall that memory, I want to be willful for once, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit my morals.

"I know better than you what to do with my benefactor, but do you really want to force us to go to Hewen and recall that grief-stricken memory?"

Rebecca asked, looking into Nelly's eyes.

nelly says:

"No, I don't want to. ”

Rebecca nodded:

"Well, the next time he comes to visit us, you go and greet him and make it clear to him that I appreciate him, but unfortunately I can't express my gratitude to my face, and I don't dare to see him again because I'm afraid I'll want to go to the grief of the past.

"Of course, our gratitude is not just words, and I didn't have anything to repay him, but now it's different, and now I'm back home. ”

It occurred to Rebecca that she might be able to tell Nelly something to dispel some of her admiration for Hervin.

She took Nelly's hand and walked over to her chair:

"Sit down, and I'll tell you something, something you'll know as an adult. ”

Nelly sat down and looked at her mother.

Rebecca explains:

"This world has magical powers, such as the original monsters, and Hervin, they are all part of this world, and as nobles, we actually have similar powers in our families, in fact, the owners of Yinglans are more or less aware of the existence of magical powers, and have some of the powers.

"I described Herwin's behavior to the wizard hired by the family, and he told me that Herwin should be an elite demon hunter, and that there are many people in the knights of this level who are as strong as him.

"I know you had a longing for Hervin when you were a child, and the events that may have deepened your feelings for him, but he wasn't a great hero, he saved us, but he wasn't omnipotent, he didn't save everyone.

"You can be grateful to him, more than I am, but you have to realize that he is not your hero, Nelly, and he is also a mortal, a wizard employed by our family, as long as he is not attacked by a sneak attack, he can deal with ten people like Herwin. ”

Nelly exclaimed:

"Mom, what are you talking about, I don't worship him, you don't have to describe it like this at all, your statement makes me feel very uncomfortable, demeaning our benefactor like this......"

Rebecca says:

"Oh, if you didn't have any adoring feelings for him, you wouldn't be so fierce at the moment, wanting to instinctively defend him.

"Nelly, I can understand, I can understand completely, I have suffered so much, I also want to be like you, rely on something, such as a big hero who once saved us, but I can't, in the end, life will not treat you any favorably, I have to survive on my own, only myself.

"You have to recognize that your feelings are because of the impact that happened to you in the first place, and you blindly want to grasp a life-saving straw, which is why you are so eager to meet him, because you need to rely on him to face your past.

"But no, in the end we are on our own. ”

Nelly opened her mouth to refute, but she didn't know how to speak.

Rebecca says:

"I'll have someone give you some gifts that are enough to repay Hervin's kindness, worthy of the gift of life for the daughter of the Marquis of Taylor, and then, you don't have anything to do with him.

"Because that will only hurt your family and yourself. ”

Rebecca stared at Nelly.

Nelly finally nodded with difficulty.

Rebecca smiled kindly:

"I'm sure you can do it, and don't tell Jimmy about it. ”
