Although the arrival of people like herself could not restore Tasia's mother to health, Tasia still solemnly expressed her gratitude to everyone for coming to visit.
However, in order not to disturb the aunt, whose condition had not yet improved, they did not rush into the ward and only stayed outside for a while.
Until Tasia sent them out of the Royal Capital Cathedral, the atmosphere among the students was still a little low.
"Tasia is working too hard..." As she spoke, Molly clenched her fists in front of her chest, closed her eyes and prayed: "I hope Auntie's condition will get better soon, and Tasia can resume her normal life soon. "
Gavin on the side was also quite emotional, "Once a disease is encountered, it will be a heavy blow to anyone."
On the contrary, Lawrence always seemed to have something to say to Wayne, but he stopped talking several times.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Wayne finally couldn't help asking Lawrence.
"Ah, no." He immediately denied it subconsciously and averted his eyes in an extremely concealing manner.
Wayne:? ? ?
Do you have any cat disease? Do you think I would find your unintentional behavior cute?
He was speechless about it.
"...In this case, everyone should go back to their respective homes." Wayne muttered, "The church happens to have extra carriages to provide, so Chris and I will not send them away one by one."
Gavin and Molly naturally had no objections. They were indeed a little tired after the day, so they said hello and left immediately.
But Lawrence lingered and refused to leave.
Chris, who was staying next to Wayne, finally realized what he was doing and said angrily: "If you want me to avoid it, just say so. Stop being so pretentious!"
After saying this, she turned around unhappily and walked alone in the direction where the carriage was parked.
When Chrissy walked away, Lawrence complained: "Chrissy's temper is getting worse and worse. Probably only people like you, Wayne, can stand her."
"She just has a straighter temperament."
After arguing for Chris, Wayne changed the topic back to business.
"So, did you encounter something that needed help again?"
Hearing this, Lawrence's expression suddenly became exciting.
"Tsk, what do you mean you need help again?" He said in a dissatisfied tone.
"I admit that you helped me a lot during the concert, but that's not what I meant."
After glancing around for a few times, Lawrence approached Wayne and whispered mysteriously: "Sometimes... the reason why an accident suddenly visits is just because the message it sent in advance was ignored."
Um?
Wayne looked at his face slightly strangely.
What does it mean to suddenly play a riddle?
However, Lawrence was obviously not ready to give any more hints. Instead, he distanced himself and said calmly: "Next, be careful."
…
Even after leaving the church, Wayne was still thinking about Lawrence's words.
It seemed that just to be able to say this to himself, he came to visit Tasia.
The message sent in advance was ignored...Does it mean that there is a major danger hidden somewhere, but I ignored it?
Seeing Wayne's frowning expression along the way, Chris couldn't help asking in a very soft voice: "What did Lawrence tell you?"
Wayne looked at Chris.
She was also worried about her uneasiness, and her eyes were full of concern.
Although Lawrence seems to be avoiding everyone else, it doesn't matter if he tells Chris this, it will make her more vigilant.
Thinking of this, he didn't hide much.
"He told me to be careful next time."
Even though Lawrence has always been an unreliable prince, it does not mean that his news is completely unreliable. Rather, just because he reminded himself so formally, it was extremely unlikely that he did it casually.
Chris and Wayne first became suspicious in exactly the same direction.
"Is it because of the recent rumors about our family?" she asked immediately.
Earl Chapman was imprisoned in the underground prison of the palace. Logically speaking, no news could be conveyed. In fact, the family did not find out anything through hidden channels.
But for some reason, the rumors spreading wildly that the Wenche family was involved in the case have become more and more intense.
Even with the help of newspapers, circumstantial efforts to clear one's name - no, this is not called clearing, it should be said to be self-evident - will not be effective.
People have no interest in factual statements without explosive points. Instead, they are keen to spread conspiracy theories again and again.
"It's possible. My father and I had speculated before that someone should be deliberately guiding public opinion and trying to get our family involved in this matter." Wayne said, "I even specially compiled a document and shared it with that person. Mr Simon."
"It's a pity that after so many days, nothing has been found."
After meeting at the teahouse last time, Simon quickly left on the pretext of pursuing clues.
But, even so, he didn't catch the vendor whom Wayne thought was suspicious.
It is said that when he led people to break into the suspect's home, the small temporary rented house was already empty; and the original landlord did not know anything about it, except that he came to collect rent regularly every month.
After learning the news, Chris was even more stunned.
"Is it possible that this was the reason why you went out with your father before?" She murmured.
"That's right."
"...Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chris complained.
Then you have to be willing to give me a chance to explain, right?
Wayne smiled bitterly.
Probably realizing that she was overreacting, Chris looked away guiltily.
"I always feel that... Mr. Simon seems a bit suspicious."
She rested her chin on the table with one hand, and tapped the table rhythmically with the other hand.
"It's indeed suspicious. I told him the whereabouts of the vendor just to test how he would deal with it." Wayne replied.
"However, this leaves one less witness." She said distressedly, "Now that the rumors have spread a lot, we may not be able to successfully find the person who originally released the news."
Wayne shook his head, "In this case, it's important whether the witness says it's important, or it's not important if he says it's not."
What you have to do is actually to find out the chain of interests behind the other party, and then solve the worries in one go.
But now, he has not been able to find Chapman's real motive for doing this.
Wayne had a strong hunch that there should be a lot of secrets hidden behind this matter, and it was by no means as simple as buying and selling people on the surface.
"There seem to be more and more troubles lately." Chris rubbed her blond hair irritably.
"Why are there so many conspiracies and difficulties? Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to have love and peace?" She whispered to herself in a low voice.
"Huh? What are Chris talking about?"
Wayne pretended to be confused and asked with a puzzled expression.
"nothing!"
Chrissy straightened her back instantly.
