Erlina Lee then realized that she had lost her tongue, her face faintly stiffened, but her enthusiasm did not diminish.
“Yes, being pregnant is a bit more tiring than usual, then you go and rest first, Farren you accompany Amelia to rest, I will take care of this place.”
Amelia Bright said nothing more and was accompanied by Farren Austin to go upstairs to rest.
After the door was closed, the noise from downstairs was cut off, and the ears were finally quiet.
The room was heated, creating a temperature differential with the silvery atmosphere outside the windows, covering them with a thin layer of moisture.
She took a seat on the room’s sofa, her face half unhappy.
In fact, Erlina Lee brought up the Bright family she begged for, to have a legitimate reason to blacken her face so she could get rid of that chatter.
Farren Austin poured her a cup of hot tea and sat down on the single couch diagonally across from her.
“The Bright family over there should be coming over to see you now that they know, if you don’t want to see them then don’t, I’ll take care of it.”
“It’s okay, let them come.”
Amelia Bright looked calm, “A long time not to communicate with the mother’s family, it is not so good to say out, it is not good for your reputation, besides Kaydee Bright is getting married, I received the invitation several days ago, just take this opportunity to tell them clearly that I do not go.”
“That’s good.”
Farren Austin gave a thoughtful nod.
“I will ask Adjutant Xun to check the identities of the maids that Mom has arranged to come over, and then you can choose the ones you like, and if you have any problems, you can tell me directly.
“Hmm.”
She heard the worry in his tone and had long reconciled with him in her mind, her mood swings after pregnancy were so great that a little bit of hardness could make her suffer and a little bit of warmth could move her.
Looking at Farren Austin’s preoccupied look, she whispered.
“Farren, what happened before was that I misunderstood you, I won’t gamble with you in the future.”
He was slightly stunned, a rare tender look to show, a low response.
“Good.”
The two of them are actually right, but they are considering things from different angles.
It was snowing again outside, and Farren Austin took Amelia Bright into his arms, ignoring all the noise downstairs, as they hadn’t sat and talked so quietly in a long time.
—
The south of the city a bad building site, the snow is printed with a fresh set of footprints, dressed in black man in the snow in a hurry, from time to time around Chambers a circle to confirm that no one behind.
Until seven turns into the depths of the rotten building, he untied his hat, revealing a face, there is a clear crescent-shaped scar under the left corner of the eye, when talking with the muscle shaking, some horrible.
The rotten building stood two figures in black raincoats, one tall and one short, both covered by the wide raincoat, not to identify men and women.
The scarred man generates water stains under his feet, nervously glanced at the two, and finally his eyes fell on the taller one, and exhaled white air from his mouth as he spoke.
“People have been dealt with clean.”
“No traces left, right?” The man’s voice was somewhat gloomy.
“Don’t worry, absolutely nothing.”
“That’s good.”
The man in the raincoat waved his hand, and the man with the scar left.
When he left, the man in the raincoat suddenly turned around, raised his hand and slapped the man behind him on the face with a ‘pop’, hitting her so hard that the blood came out of the corner of her mouth.
“Kneel down.”
Under the beaten raincoat is a woman, sniffed directly down on his knees, lowered his head muffled voice, said
“Brother.”
“Don’t call me brother,” the man looked at her coldly.
“Say, who told you to take it upon yourself to let someone do it?”
“I also wanted to share my master’s worries, Farren Austin’s weakness is that woman, and only if something happens to that woman will he be distracted.”
“Is that so?”
The man sneered, and caught her off guard with a vicious kick that knocked her to the ground.
“Do you know what Farren Austin’s weakness is? You dare to say that you are doing it for the master, you can’t even fool me, do you think the master will believe you when you hear this?”
“I’m telling the truth, believe it or not.”
Even after being kicked to the ground, the woman still had a cold as ice look on her face.
“Enough backbone,” the man stared at her, “no wonder the master values you so much, but this time the mission, do you know why the master did not send others, had to send you? Because of your soft spot.”
The woman’s face changed slightly.
“The master and I know exactly what your soft spot is, so this mission is a chance for you and a test for you, if you fail, do you know what will happen to you? A dead end.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t fail.”
The man did not believe that
“But you’re jealous, and because of jealousy you almost spoiled something big.”
“I’m not.”
“You’re still tough, my good sister.”
A ‘sister’, instead, made the woman shiver.
The man squatted down and lifted her chin, wiped a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth on his fingertips, and watched with interest.
“You can’t forget him, but you mustn’t forget that your positions are different, from birth onwards, and from the beginning, he has never considered you as one of his own, you are just a pawn in his eyes.”
“That’s enough.”
“What? I’ve said what’s on my mind, can’t listen to it anymore?”
The man suddenly grabbed her neck, his face suddenly gloomy, and his voice was terribly cold.
“This time it’s over for me, if there’s another time, if it reaches the master’s ears, my good sister, even I can’t protect you.”
The man licked the woman’s neck after he said this, with an evil and gloomy look, as if he was an evil ghost from hell.
The woman seems to be accustomed to his behavior, numb as not to do any resistance, only the bottom of the eyes sprouted a strong hatred, is to him, but also to the world.
“Hate me?”
The man seems to be like a roundworm in her stomach, understand the meaning of her every expression, under the hands of the force does not reduce, straight pinch her gasping for air.
“Yes, that’s the look, I want you to hate me, but you can’t leave me.”
As he spoke, he fished out a syringe from behind him and injected a tube full of medicine through her neck.
The woman gave a muffled grunt of pain, but soon as the medicine took effect, her pain faded and a psychedelic look appeared on her face, revealing a satisfied and eerie smile.
The man slowly let go of the hand that was pinching her neck, his gaze sizzling as he tore open the clothes on her chest and buried his head down.
The cold, rotten building, only the rising and falling gasps remain.
Some people, although born as human beings, but born but already doomed to sin, once the veil covering their original identity is torn away, will instantly fall into hell, all doomed.
