"Thank you, Rico..."
"You're welcome." Li Ge said softly, "When will I wake you up?"
"Just let me sleep...until I wake up on my own."
Rico leaned over and hugged Hesta, "Good afternoon."
Hesta closed her eyes, buried her head in the quilt, and held the corner of the pillow tightly with her left hand.
She felt a long-lost sense of relief. She once thought she was facing an enemy, a period of pain that she could not refuse. It is powerful, terrifying, and vague in appearance, lingering in the darkness, wrapped in blood, tears and airtight malice. It was like a gust of wind and rain covering the sky and the earth, with uncontrollable fury, and she herself was exposed from all directions, unable to resist, and could only endure the endless pressure and torture.
But until this moment, Hesta suddenly recognized its true face - it was the destiny she had chiseled for herself with her own hands. Every scratch and every carving was imbued with her own will, but in the end, the armor It turned out to be shackles - it was she who personally called out all the storms, but when the storms came, she was surprised by how gloomy and violent the other party was!
...How can people carry countless lives on their shoulders and lament that it is too heavy?
Hesta took a deep breath.
At this moment she finally recalled that cloudy afternoon clearly. That afternoon, she walked into Sophie's room and saw a girl who had just lost her mother curled up on the bed, waiting in vain.
She recalled her last rainy day in Short Alley. Her mother told her that she had to go out for something, and when she came back, she could take her away from this dirty and cramped backyard to a clean and beautiful place. Every sunny day in the future, they can go for a walk in the park on the street together. On rainy days, they can go back to the house that does not leak and read together...
"But how long, Mom."
"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, someone will pick you up."
"Aren't you coming back?"
"We will meet soon, don't worry, Henrietta..."
Hesta tried her best to remember, but she suddenly found that she could no longer remember her mother's face, only a thin shadow and a gentle voice remained in her mind.
"Just wait at home, don't say anything when others ask, and be smart, okay?"
"Okay mom...I'll wait for you."
The mother left her with a final kiss on her face, put on a cloak and disappeared into the rain.
This was the starting point of her revenge, but Hesta would never have imagined that at the end of her revenge, everything in the past would appear in front of her again in this way. The reincarnation-like reappearance caught her off guard. Before she could figure out how she got to this point, the huge pain had already penetrated her.
…It all started here, right?
should be.
After that, all the scenes became intermittent, and the seasons began to fast forward. Every time you open your eyes, you will see a different person, only she is always lying in the same place...
The body's reaction always seems to be ahead of the mind. This is not the first time Hesta has experienced something like this - just like the gastric ulcer a few years ago. After all the examinations, the doctor said it was caused by excessive mental stress. If you have stomach trouble, you must take a vacation immediately. She didn't feel any pressure at that time, she even felt that it was a necessary state to fight against chelates...but this was just her feeling, and her stomach obviously had different views.
If there's something she can never fight, it's probably her own body. There's really nothing she can do in this regard. She can only close her eyes and frown - so this time, what did I do to make it happen again? Is it something you cannot bear...
Under the covers, Hesta hugged herself gently.
The strong sleepiness was dragging her down, and Hesta felt dizzy, but she did not resist it. The sound of breaking ice came again to her ears, and the echo seemed to vibrate in the valley, appearing deep and melodious.
A voice asked softly: "Who weaves fate?"
it's me.
It's me.
…
On the open deck, Chiba walked alone through an unmanned aisle. The soldiers standing high up quickly spotted her figure, "Ms. Chiba!"
Chiba raised his head, "What's wrong?"
"Wait a minute! We have something very important to tell you!"
Chiba stood there, and after a while, Bernhard and several of his subordinates ran out of the building exit.
"...Where have you been all morning?" Bernhard was sweating, and his tone was a bit dissatisfied, "We searched for you all over the world and made countless phone calls——"
"If you have something to say, I don't need to report my whereabouts to you."
Bernhard's expression was a little stiff, "...We want to call the surveillance, but this requires your authorization. We have asked, and you have to come with us to open the fingerprint lock over there-"
"Look for Si Lei." Chiye interrupted Bernhard directly, "Her fingerprints have also been recorded."
"She's missing!" Bernhard shouted. "She was seen with Bree yesterday evening. The two seemed to be going somewhere together - do you understand, both of them are missing today! This is dangerous! "
"That's none of my business." Qianye blinked, "You go find someone."
"If you find someone, you have to adjust the surveillance, but you must have your authorization to adjust the surveillance -"
"I told you, I don't care about such small things. You go ask Si Lei."
Bernhard couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his voice and repeated word for word: "Don't you understand human language? We just can't find Si Lei——"
"If you yell again, I will throw you out of here right now."
Bernhard choked the second half of the sentence in his throat.
Qianye smiled and said, "If you find Si Lei's body, then I will find another agent. If not, you can continue to find one - there is only one, so don't bother me."
Abandoning these words, Chiba walked straight behind Bernhard. The old general had never been treated with such neglect in many years. He was so annoyed that he drew his gun and aimed it at Chiba's back, but he still didn't respond. Pulling the trigger until Chiba's figure disappeared around the corner, he put down the gun and cursed in a low voice.
"Where is Gobelin now?" Bernhard asked. "We agreed to meet on the deck at this time. Where are the others?"
"He seems to have encountered some emergencies over there, and he is still sorting out documents."
"What documents should be sorted out? What documents should he sort out himself?"
"...I don't know," the subordinate was startled, "but it seems that Rico and Hesta took two people away from him at noon."
"From him, where?"
"He's in his office on the third deck." the subordinate replied.
Bernhard cursed again. He realized some risks and immediately ran towards Gobelin's office without stopping.
