Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Chapter 120 Daughter and Son

The little girl Dalia was still terrified, and even though she was free, she still huddled tightly.

Louise smiled and said, "This is your home."

Slowly, Dalia walked out of her fear, saw the kind and beautiful big sister in front of her, and the familiar room, she asked:

"Is Dad really out there?"

"Of course, he has been expecting you to get better!" Louise used her superficial extraordinary ability to help the little girl muster up her courage.

Dalia opened the door, and Bartley outside the door saw this scene, tears filled his eyes, and hugged him in his arms:

"Daughter, you are finally back to normal, praise the goddess, Dad will never ignore you again..."

I should be thanking me... Louise thought amusedly, but she didn't realize that this baron turned out to be a follower of the night.

Dalia also hugged her father affectionately, but she still said sensiblely:

"Father, this beautiful sister cured my illness."

Hey, this little girl didn't tell her about her dream. Louise was a little surprised by this. She even thought about how to answer this question. Now it seems that it doesn't seem to be necessary...

Holding his daughter's hand, Bartley wiped off the tears on his face, and bowed deeply:

"Thank you, thank you, you are my benefactor."

Louise and the serious and lovely little girl Dalia looked at each other, then suddenly smiled, and responded modestly:

"You're welcome, doctors are kind, this is the first lesson my teacher taught me."

"You and your teacher are good people." Bartley said sincerely, "I will not go back on what I promised you. I can immediately find a lawyer to sign the assignment contract."

Louise waved her hand lightly and said, "Don't worry, I have two questions. When did your daughter develop such symptoms?"

Batley glanced at his daughter, turned his head and replied, "Let's go to the living room to talk, and we can have something to drink along the way."

Louise naturally had no reason to refuse.

After taking a sip of the authentic Earl Gray tea, Bartley started his own story. At this time, the little girl Dalia was taken away by the servants to rest.

"About two weeks ago, Dahlia started to have lethargy symptoms, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Until a week ago, she started to go crazy, dance around, and even scratch herself because of it."

"I took her to see many doctors and so-called wizards, but nothing worked until I met you."

Louise smiled politely, and then asked: "Before this, has your daughter, or your family, encountered any strange people or things?"

Bartley thought for a while, and then hesitantly replied: "It seems that there is no, if it is strange, it seems that there is only..."

He glanced at Louise, sighed deeply, and said in a deep voice:

"I used to be a baron and inherited the title of my family, but I didn't think about making progress and was addicted to having fun. Not only did I neglect the company of my family, but I also squandered the family property."

"There is only Dixie's manor left, this ancestral house that has been lived in, and a little investment shares."

Damn, what kind of Versailles speech is this... Louise sighed inwardly, listening to him continue to get to the point.

"A few days ago, I was invited to participate in a gamble." Bartley recalled, "It was normal at first, and there were wins and losses, but it didn't take long before I lost all the gold pounds, and then I borrowed them again." A large loan shark, all lost."

"I lost my mind that day and lost everything like a walking dead. It was only when I walked out of the game that I woke up from a dream."

"It's the strangest thing I've ever seen, and after that, Dalia suffered from that bizarre disease."

It sounds like a scam, but it's enough to cheat money, there's no need to harm the family, do you want to ruin the family? But that curse doesn't seem to want to kill them all... Louise was a little puzzled, she asked:

"Who participates in the game, do you remember?"

Batley fell into memory, and after a while he replied in surprise:

"I actually forgot everything, I just remembered that it was Baron Cliff who invited me to participate in the gamble."

Well, now we can be sure that Extraordinary people are involved. Is this the guidance of the "Snake of Destiny"... Louise smiled and said:

"It's okay, what are your plans next?"

Batley replied quickly: "I will reform my past and plan to take Dalia to live in Dixie, sell the shares in my hand to pay off the debt, and then give this house to you."

"There's no need to give it to me." Louise declined, she didn't intend to take advantage of others' danger: "Let it to me."

"Then lease it to you for ten years, and you only need to pay one gold pound per year." Batley said, his head spinning quickly at this time.

It won't take that long... Louise thought, seeing the other party's insistence, she agreed and said, "Okay, thank you for your generosity."

Bartley hurriedly replied: "I should thank you!"

…………

Queens District, 62 Harrington Street, the residence of Viscount Connor, which is also Thomas' home in Backlund.

When Sophia came to deliver the letter, only Thomas' mother, the Viscountess, was at home.

After she finished reading the letter and sent Sophia away, she stayed in the study until Viscount Connor came home.

"What's the matter, with a serious face, who made you angry?"

The Viscountess said nothing, and pointed to the opened envelope on the table.

"Thomas sent a letter back, it's rare!" Viscount Connor said lightly, picked up the letter, and read it quickly.

His face gradually became as serious as his wife's: "Is this true?"

The Viscountess obviously thought for a long time, and answered in an orderly manner:

"Thomas's handwriting is correct, but the content of the letter is not clear. What is the relationship between this girl and Thomas?"

"Ordinary friends, or a more intimate relationship?"

"If it's an ordinary friend, why did he send this letter on purpose? If it's more intimate, why didn't he explain it in the letter?"

After pondering for half a minute, Viscount Connor asked, "Have you seen that girl?"

"No, her personal maid came to deliver the letter, but I have already invited her to come to my house tomorrow, so you can spare some time to attend," said the Viscountess.

"Definitely." Viscount Connor agreed.

Although Thomas has always been strong, this may be a bit rebellious in the eyes of his parents, but it is not enough to decide for life... let alone the daughter of a commoner, even a commoner in the Southern Continent...

The viscount and the viscountess seemed to be silenced for a long time, until someone knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in," Viscount Connor said.

Mr. Housekeeper opened the door and walked in, holding a telegram, and said respectfully: "Master, madam, a telegram from Bayam."

Viscount Connor reached out to take it and confirmed that it was from Thomas. The content of the telegram was:

"Louise is here, please take care of me."

The husband and wife looked at each other and were speechless.
