Flora’s POV
I was sent back to the house, so I sat by the window staring blankly, then the next morning, I finally saw my father go back home.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, I was curious and asked, “Dad, why are you so happy?”
“Of course you have to be happy. Once I tell you, you will surely be happy,” he whispered forward in a voice only two people could hear. “That cup, I stole it back.”
As soon as he said those words, I understood what he meant.
I was pleasantly surprised and said, “Really? And there won’t be any flaws in taking it? There are lots of monitoring cameras on the way.”
“I have lived here in the Fischer’s mansion for 30 years. I know all the cameras like the back of my hand. It is easy to avoid them. No one will know how the cup disappeared.”
I was relieved. “Dad, you are too powerful. You know, I didn’t sleep all night last night. I was really worried about death.”
“It’s okay, even if you take 10, 000 steps back, if something really goes wrong, Dad won’t let you take responsibility,” he patted me on the shoulder. “And Dad is here.”
I sipped my lips and nodded. “You must have a way.”
“It’s just that in the future, you must remember that you can’t do this again. Romeo is one of the Fischer family, and the Fischer family is kind to me. We only target those enemies who need to be dealt with.”
“But it’s hard to deal with Krista. She’s smart and now she has Cheney behind her.”
Dad poked my eyebrows. “You’re not just thinking.”
“Otherwise, if you have any good ideas, help me with the tricks.”
“There are only two points, it is enough for you to remember. First, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. You should learn to observe and see who is as hostile to Krista as you are. Second, sow dissension and let those who trust her slowly alienate her and finally leave her, so that you can have an opportunity. This matter cannot be done fast and stable.”
I sighed, “Dad, just look at my age.”
“No matter how old you are, bear it. As long as the young master doesn’t want to get rid of Krista, you won’t have an opportunity, do you understand?”
I thought about it and nodded. “By the way, where did you put the cup?”
“The children’s cup, where else can I put it? Of course, it was smashed and destroyed.”
I paused for a second, “Children’s cup?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Dad…” My eyebrows flinched, “The poison was in a glass, not in a children’s cup.”
When my voice fell, my father froze. After half a ring, he asked, “Are you sure?”
“Yes,” I nodded. “I’m pretty sure.”
“I was tricked.”
“Dad, what do you mean?”
He got up, walked up to me and held my hand tightly. “Flora, listen, from now on, Dad will take all the responsibilities. You only need to do one thing, play dumb and don’t believe Dad will do anything wrong. That’s enough.”
“Dad, what are you talking about? Don’t scare me.”
He despaired, “I was too impatient to forget the young master’s ability. How smart he is. Even if there is physical evidence, it is impossible to put it in the Snow Court and wait for others to move. Last night, the young master should have already known something, so he deliberately put words to me and wanted to lure the snake out of the hole.”
“Dad, what can I do?”
He gradually closed his eyes, then opened them a moment later, and looked at me firmly. “Just remember what I just told you. You have nothing to do with this matter. It is not your turn to take responsibility with Dad.”
Recalling all this, I covered my eyes with my hands, and I was in great pain.
It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t touched Romeo, Dad wouldn’t have taken the fall for himself.
If something really happened to Dad, who can help me get back everything that should have belonged to me?
How can I get Cheney back?
Cheney’s POV
When I got back to the hospital, Romeo had just fallen asleep.
Seeing that Krista was not here, I asked my uncle, “Where is Krista?”
My uncle whispered, “When Krista saw Romeo sleeping, she said was going to relax on the rooftop.”
“I’ll go and see her.”
“Okay.”
I just turned around and thought of something. “Uncle, these years… my wife and son have lived a difficult life.”
My uncle smiled at me. “There is no living person in this world who is not bitter. Krista is a good mother and knows how to take her children to have fun.”
I sighed, “I always feel that I owe her a lot.”
“There is a debt to prove that you have love for her. Keep this debt in mind, and don’t always think about making up for it. When two people live, there is such a balanced thing. Besides, once the debt is made up, some feelings may not be so precious.”
Cheney smiled at me. “I can’t make up for this debt. I will be good to them all my life.”
Uncle smiled and said, “Hurry up and go.”
I finally opened the door to go upstairs, and came to the rooftop.
She was there, standing alone on the roof, holding her hands and looking at the distance.
When I just suddenly appeared beside her, she looked at me with a crooked head and smiled.
“So, you’ve come back, how is everything going?”
“We intend to handle it according to law, but… Uncle Jacob made a small request and hoped to attend to the law after the end of next Wednesday.”
“Next Wednesday?”
“Next Wednesday is Flora’s birthday.”
She nodded. “This is the Fischer family’s last goodwill towards them.”
I looked at her. “What are you thinking?”
Krista heaved a sigh of relief. “Thinking about Uncle Jacob and Flora.”
“Oh? Have you thought of anything yet?”
“If Uncle Jacob accepted the law, would you still let Flora continue to live in the Fischer’s mansion after that?”
“Do you want her to leave?”
“I really don’t care, but after hearing her conversation with Uncle Jacob, I thought… staying in the Fischer’s mansion was not necessarily a good thing for her.”
I nodded. “After her birthday, I will ask Grandma to talk to Flora. Grandpa has already bought her a house outside. Even if she moves out, she has a place to live.”
She said, “You don’t think I’m driving Flora away, do you?”
I raised my hand and rubbed her head. “I don’t think so. Besides, in case you really want that to happen, you are qualified.”
“Are you willing?” Her eyebrows are slightly raised.
I leaned sideways and pulled her into my arms. “Willing to give up.”
Krista stuck herself into my arms then sipped her lips.
I’m willing to give up anything but her now.
