Chris's execution ability made me speechless. I didn't expect that in just a few days, he had already found Catherine's residence.
However, what surprised me the most was not this, but the meaning of his words.
Is Catherine really alive as I thought
Chris didn't seem flustered at all. He reached out and picked up the teapot on the table naturally, poured some tea into the teacup in front of him, hooked his fingers around the handle of the small teacup, and drank the tea.
I was distracted because of Catherine's affairs, and when I saw his actions, I was taken aback.
"Someone drank this cup..." I quickly stretched out my hand, trying to snatch the cup from his hand, but he raised his hand nimbly, avoiding my movement, and pressed his lips on the side of An Ning just now. After drinking, he drank the tea in the cup.
My face became extremely red with a "bass", my hands froze in mid-air, and I stared blankly at him after drinking the water. I didn't know how to react for a long time. Chris put down the glass with a look of indifference. Before, the other hand handed over the file bag and said, "Open it and have a look."
He drank the whole thing and touched the cups. No matter what I did, I couldn't change this fact, so I had to pretend to be calm, glanced at the direction of the bathroom, blushed, and brought the file bag over.
"Why does Miss Rong look nervous?"
Chris looked at me with a smile on his face. I glanced at the cup in his hand, and then at him again. There was a sly light in his beautiful light green eyes.
This is the gaze only an old fox would have, I pouted secretly. I really don't like to deal with this kind of people. I'm not a scheming person, and I don't have any capital. In front of Chris, I feel like I have been stripped naked, and he has seen it through.
He knew everything, but he was still pretending to be stupid.
Could it be that this is his true face that has been hiding under his gentlemanly appearance
One of the two file bags contained the original materials in English. I stared at the two lines, and my eyes were so sore. There were all kinds of long, unfamiliar and difficult words in it, which really made things difficult for me, a four-year-old. A person who can pass the sixth grade.
Chris chuckled and pointed to another bag on the table.
"It's translated here, you can read it."
A sense of embarrassment came quickly, and I unnaturally opened another file bag, flipped through it quickly, and finally solved some doubts in my heart!
Catherine is really alive!
The information on Catherine is clearly marked on the document, including her current family status. As I expected, she is not married, but she has adopted many children. These children have grown up now and have their own family. career and family, they expressed surprise and shock that their adoptive mother hadn't aged, but they didn't reveal it.
Seeing the photos of her and her children, I can't help but sigh with emotion.
In that memory of Emily, Catherine told her that she wanted to adopt Emily as her daughter, but she didn't know what happened to her!
Seeing the smiling faces in the photos at this moment, I feel very uncomfortable.
If Emily hadn't died then, would she have grown up healthily and happily under Catherine's care
no, I can not.
My brain gave me an answer very quickly. Even though Emily looks very young, her eyes see and her heart understands more than anyone else.
Brown did those inhumane things, and the pain will eventually converge on Emily.
Her physical defects, coupled with the influence Brown left on her, I think, on the contrary, this tragedy relieved Emily.
As she wishes, go to heaven and become a little angel.
"We haven't contacted Ms. Catherine yet, so it's inconvenient to visit her. We'll go to her residence later, but I think, after reading these materials, you should have already got some answers."
I recovered, frowned, and continued to read.
"Miss Rong, your guess should be correct. Ms. Catherine may really be the host of the Nether Crystal."
My fingers rubbed against the smooth surface of the photo, and I heard Chris talking there calmly, and I had an accurate answer in my heart.
I closed my eyes, trying to forget what I saw in Emily's memory, and shook my head.
Everything has passed, and that incident is a thing of the past. It is definitely not a good thing to let it affect one's mood and thinking too much.
"If it is true, I think the problem of the yin and yang realms here should be resolved soon, and you should be happy, Chris, why, I see your expression, it doesn't look like you are relieved."
Chris crossed his arms and leaned back in the chair without answering. His two slender legs were crossed and overlapped. He kept staring at the teacup An Ning had used, as if hesitating for something.
The relaxed smile on his face was also wiped away, as if he had never appeared before, and a cloud of dark clouds hung over his head, making his face very gloomy and ugly.
The room was quiet for a while, and I couldn't even sit still. Just as I was about to ask, he showed a troubled expression, and said to me: "To tell you the truth, Miss Rong, Patriarch An and An Xuan came from the front line. information."
"Troublesome evil spirits appeared again in several very dark places, so I hope that we can find Catherine as soon as possible, find the Nether Crystal, put it back in its place, and stabilize the balance between the two worlds."
Just when Chris finished speaking, I clearly heard a sound from the bathroom, like something falling to the ground, Chris sat up straight and looked towards the bathroom: "Huh? "
I gritted my teeth and knew that An Ning had heard what we had exchanged. Both Grandpa An and An Xuan were her most important people, the last two people closest to her in the world. Now that such news is coming from the front line, how could it not be true? What about making her nervous and scared
"Miss Rong, is there someone in the bathroom?"
Chris asked, and I quickly waved my hand: "No, you heard it wrong, maybe the bed in the bathroom was not closed, and the jar of facial cleanser was blown to the floor."
"Tell me about the situation in detail. How are Grandpa An and An Xuan doing now?"
I managed to divert his attention, his expression was complicated, and his eyes were full of embarrassment.
When I saw this expression, my heart sank suddenly!
"We received news about the bad situation on the frontline three days ago, but before they finished reporting, our contact was cut off for unknown reasons. Until now, we have not received any news."
"What did you say?!"
Two voices sounded at the same time! I stood up abruptly from my seat, and slapped my hand on the table fiercely, but An Ning couldn't hold back anymore, rushed out of the bathroom, yelling nervously and frightenedly!
"peaceful!"
When I saw her come out, embarrassment flooded my face, and I heard Chris's calm voice next to my ear: "You are hiding here."
An Ning rushed to Chris in three steps at a time, stretched out her hand in an unladylike manner, and grabbed his collar. Her eyes were so big and round that I could even see the whites of her eyes covered with Red bloodshot.
"Clarify to me, Chris, what do you mean you haven't received any more messages? You mean they lost contact with us? Why didn't you tell me earlier, why! I don't care, I'm going to find them! You hurry up Tell me where their mission is!"
Chris stood up, hugged her body with his strong arms, and comforted her: "Don't be impatient, don't worry, I've already sent someone there."
"Let me go! Let me go! Tell me where they are, or I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"
An Ning was completely dazzled by the impulse, her eyes were wide open and her face was ferocious.
"Calm down first..."
"Calm down? It doesn't exist. Don't tell me. If you don't say it, I'll ask Patriarch David. I just want to know the exact answer today!" An Ning's speech was like a bead chain shell, crackling and crackling.
Without waiting for Chris to speak again, she pushed Chris away, ran towards the door, slammed the door open with a "bang", and left quickly.
Chris stood there stupidly, looking at the empty doorway and the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, he lowered his hands.
"You know peace is with me."
I stood behind him, I glanced at the cup of tea, and narrowed my eyes.
"From the moment you see this teacup, you know that An Ning is here."
"No, she was an accident. I should have told you about the frontline affairs without telling her. At first, I wasn't sure if she was still with you. The sound just now made me think of this possibility."
"Then you should stop this topic, or tell me in a more tactful way, instead of being as direct as you were just now."
I looked at him with dissatisfaction. I think Chris couldn't be more clear about the status of Grandpa An and An Xuan in her heart.
He could tell me at another time, who knew he was so straightforward, without any concealment.
"Sooner or later she will know."
I covered my forehead, rubbed my forehead with my fingers, and looked at the documents on the table: "Do you know how the battle is going?"
Chris shook his head.
"Damn it!" I hammered down the table and didn't even know the situation of the battle. Doesn't that mean that the front line has completely lost contact with the aid party behind us? In this case, if something unexpected happens on the front line, we have no time at all. To prepare and respond.
Now, there are only two things we can do.
Wait for the news from the front line, and contact Catherine to find the Nether Crystal as soon as possible. In this way, as long as it returns to its place, those areas that have fluctuated will naturally be restored.
"Please also contact Catherine as soon as possible. If possible, I hope I can go with you."
Chris looked at me.
"Because I know what she's been through, I have a way of convincing her to work with us."
