Chapter 573: Terminal Illness
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking care of you all over the year, and I feel very happy to be with all of you. ”
Luna's tone was tinged with a hint of sadness, and her eyes were a little melancholy.
The maids were stunned, looked at each other one by one, and asked hesitantly, "President, what's wrong with you?"
Luna glanced at everyone and spoke cautiously, "I'm afraid, it's time for me to say goodbye to everyone. ”
"No, President!"
"President, you can't leave us behind!"
"If there is anything we did wrong, please correct and punish it, but don't leave!"
......
The maids looked like the end of the world was coming, and they were nervous and said all kinds of words.
After a commotion, Betsy slowly stood up and said very calmly, "President, you should know that we are now running smoothly, our business is thriving, our reputation is outstanding, and our future is bright. ”
Luna nodded, "Not bad." ”
"So, why did you leave in such a good situation?"
"It's just because the situation is so good, it doesn't matter if I leave. ”
"Not really!"
Betsy shouted excitedly, "The reason why we have this good situation is because of your hard work in organizing, working hard, and supporting you, so that we have everything we have today." If you leave, our association will be like an edifice on the beach, and it will collapse and collapse immediately!"
"It's not that serious, is it?" said Luna, slightly stunned, "Our association has formed alliances with international charities, and we have backers behind it. Moreover, I will invite Miss Flory to take my place, and she will be loving and loving. To be enthusiastic and enthusiastic, to have a background and to have resources, I will be more suitable than me to lead the Maid Association forward. ”
"You're not right at all!" Alice couldn't help but get up, "I've been in contact with Miss Flory, and she's a very good person. But after all, she is from an aristocratic background, no matter how she is with us, there will be a certain estrangement, no one can compare to you!"
"You have to try to accept people. Luna sighed, "It's unfair to look at people by their origins. ”
"We don't believe that a nobleman would genuinely help us. ”
Betsy said stubbornly, and the maids nodded in agreement.
"That-" Luna hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "I'm also from a noble family. ”
"What?"
Everyone was shocked to hear the elder say this.
"I should have known. Should have known it a long time ago. Alice was the first to react, and muttered, "The president is so knowledgeable, so know-it-all, so rich-skilled, and almost omnipotent, how can a poor family raise such an all-knowing and all-powerful girl?"
"yes. When Betsy heard this, she suddenly woke up. "The president is so young, and his knowledge and temperament are so outstanding. How many nobles we have served, no one has ever been able to compare with her, and if it is not cultivated by the aristocratic demeanor since childhood, there is no other possibility. ”
Luna shook her head, "Whether it's a commoner or an aristocratic family doesn't mean anything......"
"So you're going back to your aristocratic circle. You don't want to be with us, do you?"
An older maid suddenly interrupted her, rushed over and grabbed the clothes on her chest, and shouted angrily, "Since you are the eldest lady, why do you want to be a maid?" Why should we think that the laborer is nobler than the one who does not work, and why should we crush our faith when we are full of hope?"
Everyone exclaimed, "Linda!"
"Say, are you playing with us?" cried Linda hoarsely, "why would you make me think that I had hurt a poor poor girl, that I confessed my sins to God every night, and now you tell it was just a joke?"
"I didn't lie to you. Luna looked her in the eye motionlessly, "Laborers are indeed the noblest, and those who do things in a down-to-earth manner deserve more respect than those who inherit the shadows." ”
"Lies, all you say are lies!"
"When I was a maid, I was really just a maid. "In the beginning, I had a lot of setbacks, such as not being able to eat a bite of food for a week, and being innocently arrested at the police station several times. But I never asked my old family for help, nor did I borrow a bit of their fame. I just used my best to persevere, get to know sisters like me, and then come together with everyone. ”
"Yes, yes, the president has always been using her own strength and the power to unite us to help us. Alice said, "Linda, the president has never had much to do with her old family, she is a real maid. ”
Betsy immediately said, "I also think that the president is a real maid, although I have always found her very elegant and elegant, but it is because she is a better peer, not because she has some aristocratic atmosphere." ”
The other maids chimed in, "Yes, yes, we all feel this way, and we never think that the president is a nobleman." ”
"Thank you. Luna's eyes heat up a little, "I really found the meaning of my life, I found my favorite career, which was after being a maid, and it had nothing to do with what family I came from." ”
“...... Even then, you're not going to leave us now?"
Linda still said reluctantly, "Finally, you're tired of having fun, aren't you bored with us?" When you go back, you can marry a rich young master, be a happy noble lady for the rest of your life, and then enjoy the careful service of your former companions." ”
Luna sighed, "Why do you think I'm going back to get married?"
"Otherwise, why would you want to go, what reason do you have to go, isn't that where the value of your life lies?" Linda said loudly, "What you just said to everyone is all a lie, isn't it?"
"I really don't want to leave everyone. ”
Luna paused, biting her lip and struggling. "But I don't have much time before I leave this world. ”
"What!"
In an instant, the maids in the room were petrified.
After a while, Alice mustered up the courage to ask, "President, this is what you said about leaving the world." What does that mean exactly?"
Luna closed her eyes, "That said, I don't exist anymore." ”
"Impossible, why is this happening?" called Becky's voice, "Is it, is it...... What terminal illness do you have?"
"Terminally ill? Luna nodded slightly, thinking that this was a good reason to explain.
"What kind of illness is that?" said Betsy in a hurry, "and we will cure you at a great cost." ”
Luna shook her head slightly. "If it can be cured well, can it still be called a terminal illness?"
"Then we have to try!" cried Becky, "even if it is a loan to treat you, we will all bear it together! Besides, can't we contact the Red Cross, they are still willing to do a little good deed, and this can help you." ”
"It really doesn't have to. Luna hardened, "I've seen the best doctors in England." There is really no way to cure this. ”
"Then find another doctor!" Alice said, "anyway." We cannot afford to give up hope until the last moment. ”
Luna took a breath and said helplessly, "Everyone, I have a wish. ”
This sentence caused everyone to fall silent.
"I'm still young and there are still many places I haven't visited. In the last days of my life, I don't want to lie on the sickbed and waste it needlessly. Luna looked up, her eyes lit up, and said in a yearning tone, "The world is so big. I want to check it out. ”
"Why you? Why you?"
Linda let go of the hand that had been grasping Luna's clothes, and repeated the same words in a dejected voice, "Why are you suffering this fate?"
"Fate cannot be chosen, and each of us must be honest with it. Luna had just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly realized something was wrong, "Linda?"
The maid, who had been questioning the president, held her head and wept bitterly, "Lord Almighty, I pray that you will bless this child and please transfer all her misfortunes to me. ”
Luna pressed her shoulder and whispered, "Linda, don't do this. ”
"I was just a selfish and narrow-minded old woman who framed you behind her back in order to keep her job. But I took it upon myself and lost the trust of my employer. It was you who took me in without any hesitation, it was you who taught me more skills without partiality, it was you who helped me find a job again without reservation. Since then, you have been my beacon, my angel. ”
Linda's tears flowed, "So as soon as I heard that you were leaving us, I panicked and didn't know what to do, and I wanted to stop you...... But I never imagined that you had encountered such a disaster, why didn't this kind of thing happen to me!"
As he spoke, there was already a sound of sobbing all around.
Every maid here is the president who has reached out to her in the most difficult times. Then, everyone hugged together, helped each other, knew how to rely on their own strength, guaranteed their own lives, guaranteed their dignity, and the days full of hope seemed to be so happy forever.
But no one thought that she would have to say goodbye to this world so soon, what a cruel thing it was.
Alice's eyes were red and she wanted to say something, but her throat was so hoarse that she couldn't say a word, so she walked over and hugged the president tightly, tears streaming down Luna's clothes.
"Alice ......"
"Don't leave us, don't leave us!" Alice tried her best to squeeze out a cry, as if Luna would fly away as soon as she let go, "Please tell me, you can't be cured, really not!"
"I'm sorry, Alice, no one wants to die, and I wouldn't be willing to tell you about it if I wasn't completely sure it was incurable. Everyone, please accept my departure. ”
Luna suddenly felt her heart twitch violently, and when she turned her head, she saw Betsy's eyes wide open and staring at her, two fingers in her mouth and biting hard, wisps of blood falling down, and she was still unconscious.
It was as if something had suddenly penetrated the elder, and a strong desire to survive suddenly rose in his heart.
-- I am their president, their spiritual support, and each of them wants me to live, and even wants to be my own person.
――I also like them, and I like the feeling of working hard and working with them as their president.
- I really don't want to leave.
- Yes, with such a true mind, Luna is also a living being, because of them.
......
In Luna's mind, somehow she remembered a previous conversation:
"Luna is your virtual personality, but it doesn't necessarily mean that she doesn't have the opportunity to become more stable and real. ”
"And under what conditions does Luna become more realistic?"
"If you play Luna, the more you experience it, the more you achieve it, the more you feel more satisfied with who you are, and the more you like what it feels like to be a character, Luna's realism will naturally increase. ”
"It's scary, it's scary......"
This is actually not terrible at all, it is terrible!
At this moment, Luna truly feels that she is alive, but at the same time, she must face her destined fate after she lived.
I can't exist alone from that person, so I have to die before I go home.
Is this the ruthlessness of the Great Dao, is it considered to be self-defeating enlightenment?
This is what the third sister really intended to let me enter the world of maids? )
