"'Bishop's Miracle'?" Zack knows how to grasp the key points. "Who came up with such a name?"
"Barton Daily~" Fiona was still using chocolate to seduce the Great Dane, "Didn't you read today's newspaper? I'm on camera, 'Bishop's fiancée's grateful hug brings miracles to my friend' me." He tilted his head and said, "I have to find a chance to ask this Miss Riley what perfume she uses. She smells really good~"
Zach is instructing the Great Dane to find the newspaper. This scene is worth seeing.
Fiona looked at the Great Dane squirming away, the chocolate pad in his hand moving. After a while, she narrowed her eyes because the Great Dane came out with the newspaper in its mouth and lay down next to Zach, "It Can you understand what you are saying?"
"Dogs are people's friends, right? They are smart." Zack shrugged, opened the newspaper according to the introduction on the front page, "Wow, this is a good photo."
The one on the far left is Bishop, who is not willing to be photographed and tilts his head, but his hands are on his fiancée's waist, trying to protect his fiancée in front of the surrounding media. The part above Riley's waist is tilted to the right, and Fiona, who is leaning to the right with a grateful face, is raising her hand to try to hold down Bishop who is avoiding the camera, with a smile on her face.
"What are you doing?" Zach asked curiously.
"Everyone goes back to their respective homes. I was just going to tell Bishop that we need to talk, in private, but who knows what happened. As soon as we walked out of the main entrance of the hospital, we were surrounded by reporters. Haha, this smelly Miss Riley, from The reporter walked out and gave me an unexpected hug~" Fior raised his eyebrows, "I thought I missed her when I went to the hospital, but it turns out she is still there~ Haha, she even got so many shots~ Fortunately, I react quickly. I have always been told that the smile on my side is the prettiest~"
Zach smiled and commented, "Smart woman." Riley and Fiona praised together.
"Of course, now that Bishop has recovered, the wedding will be mentioned again. Do you expect me to stand with these two people with a bad face? Haha, as for Riley~" Fiona directly stuffed the chocolate into her mouth "The perfect timing to set off the media ambush almost makes me think that she knew, uh, that her man was going to recover. Which makes me curious, why~ I am definitely not the reason for Bishop's recovery, deliberately staggering and When I met her in the hospital, I would just think that she was a little self-conscious. But now that she has successfully put herself on the front page, I begin to think that this woman is a bit interesting~"
"Is it good or bad?" Still just curious.
"In front of you, of course I have to say yes~" Fiona replied, "because you blocked my mouth in time yesterday. Through this photo, the impression of people in the West End being 'in love with each other' was once again reiterated, The people of the West End have gone through so much, from Quinn at the beginning of the year to Fisher's Martha's Port now. Even the Bishop family, which has declined, the Barton symbols are still as strong as ever. In the city~”
Zach smiled and nodded, accepting, "Then, what do you want to know? Fiona."
Fiona's eyes fell back to the Great Dane, as if she was thinking about something, maybe she was fiddling with the ring on her ring finger out of habit, and said, "How about I tell you an interesting family story?"
"please."
"Last night at dinner, I was telling my dear husband about my wonderful sutra, haha, 'how I healed Bishop with a slap,' my little sweetheart said this sentence." Pause first, and end with Judging from Charlotte's age, it's probably impossible for the little sweetheart, so she should be talking about her younger brother Sherlock. "He said, 'Can Mommy heal Uncle Bishop with her hands? I know an older uncle can also do it, but it's use… '"
Fiona deliberately lengthened the ending, "I didn't hear the last word clearly because my princess," which should be Charlotte, "stopped her brother from continuing."
Zach's expression did not change at all. Among the five third-generation West Enders who knew Zach's identity, Zach had never expected the youngest Sherlock to keep the secret. It's basically the same as telling a child that Santa Claus really exists. Everyone understands reality and doesn't need to explain it.
"Speaking of my Charlotte." Fiona raised her eyebrows, "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, she's starting to look more and more like me, always hanging around in his father's office and our office. .I have discovered more than once that the combination lock on the safe has been tampered with. I wonder when this started, let me think, oh yeah, since the last time you visited my house. Then when I started to seriously think about my two When did this child start to become different from before, for example, he suddenly reconciled with Kepler of the Smith family, right, from the moment he met you."
Zach began to get a little distracted, because in addition to the Bishop's Miracle report on the front page of the newspaper in his hand, there were other noteworthy things in the newspaper. For example, Zach discovered that Kate, a reporter who was active some time ago, did not have any movement. For example, Kozier held a welcome dinner for the newly hired designer Mr. Morelin. For example, in order to ensure the safety of the Port of Marsa, the new security company 'Aix Security' comprehensively upgraded the security measures of the Port of Marsa and invested heavily in building a monitoring network. For example, Liszt issued a statement that he would seek justice for his dead assistant. Also like...
Well, Zach didn't forget the conversation that happened here, "I'm a little confused, Fiona, what do you want to express?"
"Did you make Bishop healed?" Fiona asked.
"Well, if Madam thinks it's impossible for a slap to create a miracle, then I believe that I can't either."
"So when you knew that the 'miracle' wasn't going to happen, you just, what, autonomously sensed, uh, let me think about it, 'God's will' and coincidentally appeared there to prevent me from saying what would make Farr What if Ken and Bishop completely break up?"
"Haha." Zach smiled, "When you describe it like that, I really feel that I am special."
"Describe it, isn't what I said the truth?" Fiona began to pace on the back porch, "You, Riley, my child, when I think about these fragmentary, but extremely coincidental things, I couldn’t help but notice something concerning.”
Fiona sat down directly next to Zach, "You know, before coming to Grande, I went to see Teacher Trisha from Parker Elementary School. Do you know why?"
This time, Zach was really curious and put down the newspaper, "Why?"
"My child knows you, isn't it because Teacher Trisha brought the children from Parker Elementary School to your Grande to play? It was the beginning of Kepler and Charlotte's mutual dislike completely changing." Fiona Shrugging, "The elevator accident, right? Thanks to a reporter some time ago, um, Kate, for bringing this matter out again and using it to describe you as a selfish guy. So it reminded me of , in that accident, our parents in the West District did not get hurt because their children were not injured, so it was you, Grande, who, as a thank you for promoting the charity activities of Park Elementary School, 'blackmailed' the insurance company and let Grande's decoration costs be free. Remember What?"
Zach raised his eyebrows and kept his smile. I already understand why Fiona said those bits and pieces were coincidences.
"'I know a big uncle who can also... '" Fiona was imitating her son, looking at Zach's smile, and continued, "I went to Trisha to ask about the situation at that time, the insurance company According to the report, five people were injured. In fact, no one was injured, but I couldn't find it. She seems to have returned to her hometown in Newton." The atmosphere was changing, and the conversation that had been using voiceover to create a relaxed atmosphere became serious, "So, I want to trouble What, wouldn’t it be better to come to you directly, then Mr. Zachary Grande, my child, is it really not hurt?”
It was just a detail. Fiona held down Zach's hand, which was very strong for a human and a woman who loved swing sports when she was young. "Answer me."
Zach was quiet for a while and nodded to the air, "Charlotte and Sherlock were not injured. This is a fact. Laura and Kepler protected them."
The hand holding Zach loosened, Fiona nodded, "Go on, you know you need to know more." She actually smiled at Zach, "After the motherly protectiveness has passed, I promise, no matter what you say, , I will accept it easily and happily, haha, after all, you seem to be on our side~" The serious atmosphere passed like this, which was easy.
"I am." Zach kept smiling, "So I don't know if I refuse to continue to explain myself, Mrs. Fiona Falcon, would you like to just let it go?" The full name was used to express sincerity.
"No." Answered very simply.
"Okay." Zach nodded, "Do you have more chocolate?"
Fiona raised her eyebrows and handed a piece to Zach.
Zach pulled up his sleeves to signal Fiona to get ready, then raised a finger, stretched it out in front of Fiona's shrinking pupils, and scratched his skin.
Probably due to a premonition, Fiona's eyes twitched, "Please don't dip your blood in chocolate and let me eat it."
"Sorry." Zach handed the chocolate with blood beads back to Fiona and raised his eyebrows, "Have you ever seen such a scene?"
"No, I lied." His eyes were on Zach's wound, which was healing. "My little sweetheart finished the sentence before being stopped, 'blood', 'he used blood'." After saying that , the wound was healed, and his eyes returned to Zach's face, "What are you." Relaxed and happy? Well, it's not quite what she promised. The only thing worth admiring is that she is still sitting here and not running away.
Zach made a sign of please enjoy, "Eat it and you will know."
Fiona looked at the chocolate in her hand, frowned and thought for a while, then opened her mouth and stuffed it in.
The simple sound of chewing lasted for about three seconds.
"Mrs. Quinn knows??" She said this, "Wait a minute, Porky..." Her face was a little twisted, and then she relaxed, "Wow, the door to the new world, the new world..." Fiona's eyes widened again. , "Lydia? Eve? Poor, uh, or lucky Smith?..." narrowed again, "Oh Kyle, Kyle, never thought he had such courage..." widened again, with Angry, "Shel! Evil spirit! This bastard Bishop!!"
Well, Fiona's 'nervousness' will probably last for a while. Zach stood up and was about to go to the basement to give Fiona some time.
"Why did you tell her?" Louise followed behind and asked the questions of all the observers, "Sem has been preparing by the side."
"Mrs. Quinn needs help." Zach answered. "She can't be the only West Ender among the Bartons who knows the truth. Just dealing with Mrs. Barton and the previous threat from the Raging Waves family, Mrs. Quinn had a hard time dealing with it. She could only play the drums. ." Zach glanced back, "I need someone stronger and smarter to influence other families in the West District, and she has proven that she can."
Louise frowned, "Fisher?"
Zach nodded.
The Smiths have Eve and Lydia, the Pattons have Mrs. Quinn as a friend, and the Stones have Blake, who works directly under the mayor. Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the Sabbat crisis faced by people in the West End. Let’s put aside Bishop’s charming demon and talk about Fisher. The Fishers are a family with no defenses in the West End, let alone one that is in deep trouble right now.
That happened to be what the newspapers said, and the new security company Aix Security in Port Marsa upgraded the security measures. Whose is Aix? Who is the Falcon family? Who is the stronger Falcon family? Here are the facts, Fiona.
"But aren't you worried about the 'General'?" Louise was still a little worried, "The 'General's' revenge will ultimately be against the Falcon family."
"Now 'General' finally has a viable prospect of revenge, right?" Zack shrugged, "'General' can never go to Falcon Manor to massacre, right? Now, he has the leverage to get real revenge. , just because someone in the Falcon family knows that vampires exist. The generation of human beings versus the immortal vampires, I gave the 'General' a chance, see if he can seize it. "
Louise stopped talking and watched Zach filling snack jars in the basement. Coming back to see Fiona has never been the main purpose. Remember, Zach came back to replenish food.
"Aren't you going up?" Zach asked after finishing loading what he wanted to pack, and before going up, because Louise and Charlie were sitting together, both of them looking at the two non-human-shaped black shadows in the mirror.
"No." Louise responded, "I just realized that as your descendant, you really need to strengthen yourself. I should master the skills quickly so as not to upset you..."
"Well, Louise, that's not what I meant..."
"It's nothing, I just don't want to be worse than Charlie~" Louise's special power turned around and gave Zach a smile, "Although we have the same status (the third generation of Toledo), I have an advantage over him~ right? ~"We understand that the 'advantage' of Louise's transliteration is the countless frank encounters with Zach... the exchange of blood.
Unable to refute, Zach pursed his lips and went upstairs.
"Jackson is here, right?" Fiona was waiting at the stairs. "Find me someone who can talk to him."
Zach pointed upstairs, where Mo was watching soap operas.
Fiona nodded and faced the air, "Little Jack~ Come up with Auntie~ Auntie wants to chat with you~"
"I hate when she calls me little Jack," Jackson said as he passed by, "but it's weird, it feels so good to hear it."
Zach was too lazy to care. Fiona was still here, which already explained a lot of problems, so there was nothing to worry about. "As long as you are happy." Zach smiled back and ignored her. (..)
