Chapter 266 Miracle
Time seemed to have frozen in the silent living room. The former banner of the family, the former head of the family, said such words, and a sense of shock and betrayal arose spontaneously.
The Roziers didn't want to believe this threat, but they had to believe it. Human beings can do anything when they are desperate, let alone a dying old man, especially this old man who once followed Grindelwald.
They could tell that Vader's words were more than just words. If they dared to touch a hair of Esmeralda Drizzt, Vader would really choose to fight to the death and bury Drizzt with the whole Rozier. .
After a long time, Thierry Rozier broke the silence in the living room and said: "I think you all understand what Vida means. She just wants her granddaughter to go home. You...you see Let’s do it.”
The old man sighed deeply. He felt that life was very tiring, and being born into the Rozier family was even more tiring. Not everyone is Dumbledore. This era no longer belongs to Vader, and it is also not Thierry's era.
Neither Alain Rozier nor his son Vincent Rozier took a stand. They neither agreed nor had any intention to call back those sent to England.
No one knew what the father and son were thinking, whether they were calmed down by Vader's words or had other thoughts.
People on both sides of the long table also remained silent. It was the lesser of two evils, between getting that kid back or dying, they chose to get that kid back.
Of course, they are just letting the child come back. They will not accept the child's surname being Rozier. This is their bottom line.
Unlike the dead silence in the living room of a luxurious manor, the seaside in Calais is full of laughter. Vida Rozier stood on the coast, looking at England on the other side.
That is the England that the first Dark Lord never set foot in. It is the England where Ada lives now, and it is the England where Louise died.
There was some noise on the beach, and the house elf Agnes waved her hand and cast a spell to block out the laughter of the Muggles. The salty sea breeze blew gently, and the only sound left in my ears was the sound of waves.
"You shouldn't blow the sea breeze for so long at such an old age." The white-haired old man Thierry Rozier walked over slowly, "You are no longer the girl you used to be."
"It's just that I haven't seen the sea for a long time." Vida said softly, "Thierry, talking about age with a lady is a very ungentlemanly thing. Even if the lady is your cousin."
Thierry came over and stood next to Vader. He chuckled and continued to ask: "Then how long has it been since my cousin has been to the other side?"
"No matter how old Ada is this year, she hasn't been there for many years," Vida said. Her last trip to England was to bring Louis' bones home. Louis' death was so sudden that he couldn't even leave a single word, and all that was found was his cold body.
Thierry also knew that he had brought up Vida's sadness, but he still wanted to ask. He asked: "Louis didn't leave any clues at the beginning. How did you find the child?"
"A coincidence," Vader said, "or an accident."
"Accident?" Thierry was a little in disbelief.
If Louis hadn't sent a letter to Vida when the child was born, Vida wouldn't have known she was a grandmother. A child who had not been heard from for so many years and had no clues was found just because of an accident?
"Yes, it's such a coincidence." Vida said with a smile, and the old face could vaguely see the beauty of the French Rose.
She continued: "At first, I only heard about her from a pure-blood family. At that time, I just thought it was strange that Dumbledore would actually speak for a child."
"Then what?" Thierry asked. He is now like a child who is curious about the development of the story, just like when he was a child listening to stories beside his cousin.
"Then I learned her name, Esmeralda." Vader said, "I began to have an impression of this girl from the orphanage."
Thierry didn't understand why a name caught Vader's attention, or was it because of Dumbledore? After all, Vader didn't like Dumbledore.
"The name comes from a Muggle novel that Louis loved very much before he left home." Vida explained, "The heroine in the book is called Esmeralda."
Thierry nodded and continued to ask: "But you can't make such a judgment based on just a name, right?" Thierry didn't know why Louis liked a Muggle novel, but he knew the name of a book. It doesn’t represent either.
"Yes, the name doesn't mean anything, and I didn't pay much attention to this child. Later, an old friend of mine happened to see a photo of a girl from her friend." Vida continued, "She didn't say anything. , but wrote to tell me that she saw a child with facial features similar to Louis."
"This child with eyebrows that look like Louis happens to be Esmeralda, right?" Thierry suddenly realized.
The two pieces of information were superimposed, allowing Vader to find the child. Without any of these pieces of information, Vader might miss this child. Is there such a coincidence in this world?
Vida turned to look at Thierry and said, "Isn't it unbelievable? There is such a coincidence in this world?" Seeing his cousin nodding, Vida continued: "I can't believe it either, for fear of hoping Behind it is deep despair.”
In the autumn of 1977, Ada was born, but now it is 1993. If you want to find a child whose name and face you don't know in the vast sea of people, you can think of the hardships you will go through with your toes.
After searching for so many years without finding it, this child miraculously appeared. Vader even felt that he was having a dream.
"You know, Thierry, people like me still have some friends who help each other. With their help, I finally confirmed that she is Louis' child." Vida said excitedly, with this joy She always remembered.
"This is not a dream, it happened in real life. God cruelly took away everything from me, but in the last few years of my life, gave me the most precious treasure back." Vida continued, her turbid expression Tears flowed from the eyes.
Thierry took out a handkerchief and handed it to his cousin. He gently stroked Vida's back and asked, "What are you going to do? Are you going to take her back in person?"
"I'm not allowed to leave France at will, and I also have other things to do." Vida said, "Thierry, I can trust you, right?"
If you want to ask the current Rozier family who Vader cares about the most, the answer must be Thierry in front of you; if you want to ask the current Rozier family who Vader can trust, the answer is still Thierry in front of you.
Today's family meeting in Calais was what Thierry revealed to Vida.
"I'm happy to help. I also want to see this kid who is even better than Louis." Thierry bowed very gentlemanly, "But you must not be jealous of me, because I will get to know the kid before you." Ada.”
===Dividing line===
On the other side of the strait, Ada was walking aimlessly on the streets of Charing Cross Street. She had just finished a tiring day and got rid of the dilemma of being watched like a monkey.
At this time, a strange woman was quietly following Ada, following her through the long street, around the corner, and finally stopped in a small alley. The strange woman had to stop because she was tied up by Ada.
Seeing that Ada's wand was still pointing at her, the strange woman hurriedly said: "Hey! Calm down, calm down, Drizzt! I am Tonks, Tonks of Hufflepuff!"
While speaking, the strange woman's face changed, and Ada finally recognized the witch in front of her - Nymphadora Tonks.
"What are you doing here? And why are you following me?" Ada did not put down her wand. She did not trust Tonks.
"Of course it's for you." Tonks struggled for a while, but found that she couldn't get away. "Didn't you realize that someone was following you again?"
