However, when she held Phillip's hand and listened to his voice gradually weakening, these suddenly became unimportant. Philip expresses his love and imagines an idyllic future.
Tasia listened, nodded, and shed tears. When he was unable to speak, she followed his previous ideas.
Although there are no ordinary couples in Roboglier's Eden, Tasia does not point out that. What really surprised her was that even though she had not deliberately pursued that kind of lifestyle, when she talked about the daily life of a wife, her expression could be so smooth and natural - isn't that what her mother has been trying to do in her life? The side that appears in front of others?
However, after his father left home, the way his mother cried bitterly late at night, became hysterical after abusing drugs, and talked harshly about other people's stories... were also part of this fantasy, but Philip probably didn't know it, or maybe it was something in the marriage. Men have always been ignorant of this.
Philip seemed to want a daughter very much. He imagined that her daughter would have the same eyes and tenderness as Tasia... Tasia cried and laughed and shook her head. Philip probably thought she was shy, but in fact Tasia There was never a daughter in my plans.
As early as when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, Tasia had already decided on the names of her future children. They were four boy names that evolved from mythology, meaning strength, wisdom, courage and perseverance respectively. She thought that after arriving in Eden, she would never have more than four children, and it would be useless to be more prepared...unless she was unlucky and gave birth to a daughter.
In Philip's dying moments, Tasia was surprised that the dying fantasy of the person in front of her could be so weak and ordinary. The compassion in her heart surged, but she became more and more certain that she would not be with a man like Phillip. The lover who will truly stay with her for a lifetime should be like her father, who puts his personal grand ideals before everything else - whether it is family, wealth, fame...
Tasia gritted her teeth. If such a man appeared, she would immediately pursue him desperately and would never make the same mistake as her mother.
All this turmoil finally ended with Philip's departure. Tasia found a corner alone to collect herself, and then returned to the restaurant. She was thinking about how to announce the news of Philip's death - probably no one cared about this kind of thing now, but she still wanted to hold a moment of silence for Philip. Yes, in fact, everyone who died on the ship should have a moment of silence, even if it is only one minute...
"Tasia!" Meyer ran over quickly, "You are finally back!"
Tasia's vision was still a little blurry. She blinked quickly and recognized the person.
"Meyer...?"
"I have something to ask you about the night banquet!" Meyer spoke quickly, and she looked at Tasia worriedly, "Are you... okay? There's no blood left on your face!"
Tasia shook her head, "I'm fine..."
In order to avoid disturbing others' rest, the two went to the corner of the restaurant where the lights were turned off. This time Meyer asked all the questions that the thorn monk couldn't explain before again, and Tasia answered them one by one. In Tasia's description, the Bishop's restaurant on the mezzanine was not that special, and the entire dinner was just another place to chat and drink, without any danger - at least until the security check.
"This puts me at ease," Meyer let out a long breath. "There was already a security inspection this morning. It's usually only once a day, right?"
"I don't know, but that's what happened before," Tasia replied. "Sometimes there wouldn't be a single check throughout the day."
Meyer breathed a sigh of relief, "So, even if Ige goes alone tonight, it should be fine, right?"
"It's okay," Tasia smiled, "If you are really worried, I can wait with you."
Meyer jumped up from the chair and hugged Tasia tightly, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome……"
The two held hands and returned to the resting place. Meyer helped Tasia lay down the bedding. As soon as the two sat down, two crew members came in from outside.
The passengers who had not yet fallen asleep all sat up in unison and stared at the visitor nervously.
They chatted with the bartender first and then left quickly.
"Everyone, please rest," the waiter said, "It's okay."
There are still people who are curious and come forward to ask: "What happened just now...?"
"Today's second security check will begin soon," the waiter replied with a smile, "but this is a temporary shelter. Just don't go out during this period."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Tasia was startled after hearing this, and turned back to look at Meyer. Meyer's expression almost froze. After a moment, without any hesitation, she ran from her position towards the door of the restaurant like an arrow. The crew guarding the door of the restaurant not only did not stop it, but took the initiative to open the door. Pulled away a position.
"Meyer!!!"
…
Chiba's room.
Hesta and Rico returned here to spend the night again. Rico had just finished taking a bath and when he came out, he found Hesta sitting in front of the phone again.
"Why did you get up?" Rico looked at the wheelchair and the bed, "Did you get up by yourself?"
"A crew member came just now." Hesta replied, "I asked her to help me."
"Who are you calling?"
"Miss Chiba."
"Why are you calling her at this hour?"
The waiting tone on the other end of the phone sounded, and Hesta made a shushing gesture.
Rico walked to Hesta and suddenly discovered that where there were several blank lists of prohibited and restricted items, there was an additional receipt. She glanced at it and found that Hesta had just submitted a new list of prohibited and restricted items.
"Are you here again?" Li Ge took off the receipt and looked at it, "Didn't you just initiate it once in the morning? Is it too frequent?"
Hesta's expression was solemn, and he pushed another stack of paper in front of Rico, "This is the confession written by the thorn monk this morning... take a look."
Rico wiped his wet hands on the hem of his clothes, and she glanced at Hesta suspiciously before taking the densely written confession—it had more than ten pages.
"Not bad, he wrote so many words in one afternoon, he——"
Before she finished her sentence, Rico's joking tone stopped abruptly. She scanned the first page and saw the word "chelate" at the corner of the last line.
The professional sensitivity immediately made her read carefully from the beginning. After only reading the first page, Li Ge's pupils suddenly shrank——
The content of the trial for this Thorn Monk named Ruple was to inject himself into a chelate, and then spread the disease as much as possible and cause panic.
