Chapter 503 The Strangely Ill Vader
The cold and harsh winter is fading away, but the warm and genial spring has yet to come. Frost and fog still form on the windows of the manor, making the scenery outside the window particularly hazy.
Ada still feeds the pigeons every morning, but what she has in mind is completely different. Ada no longer thinks about Dumbledore and Voldemort, but instead thinks about the Rozier family and the events of more than ten years ago.
Some old things have been put aside for too long, so long that Ada always ignores certain things and certain people.
But ignoring or ignoring does not mean that Ada really forgot. She just didn't take care of it, so she let some clowns keep jumping around in the dark, making them mistakenly think that Ada was cowardly.
After feeding the pigeons as usual, Ada walked back to the room and came to Vida's bed.
In mid-February, Vida fell ill. The illness was sudden, strange, and serious.
Years of prison life made Vader lose his health. The departure and sudden death of his adopted son Louis made Vader like a candle in the wind.
If he hadn't known that he had a granddaughter wandering away, and if he hadn't found Ada, Vida Rozier probably wouldn't be alive today. Vader collapsed due to chronic illness and sudden illness.
Today is the seventh day that Vida has been ill and the third day that she has been in a coma.
Ada sat in front of the bed without any expression. In her hand was a thin booklet, which was the medical advice left by the therapist.
There was a knock on the door and Daniele Dubois entered the room. He is a person that Vader trusts very much, and he is one of the three people Vader wants to leave to Ada.
Ada often sees Sergei and Laura, but Daniel has less contact with them. It's not that Ada or Daniel deliberately didn't contact them, but that Daniel was usually responsible for business matters, which Ada wasn't interested in.
If Vida (Aida) is the boss, Daniel Dubois is the boss.
Looking at the unconscious Vida and her increasingly thin face, Danielle rubbed his eyes sadly. He whispered: "Miss, is the madam still not awake today?"
Since Vida became ill, Daniel came to the manor at least once a day.
"No. I think she is probably too tired and wants to have a good sleep." Ada said softly, "Let's go out and talk. Don't disturb her rest."
With that, Ada left the room. After Ada left, two witches wearing the same green clothes as St. Mungo's came into the room and took care of the unconscious Vader on her behalf.
In the room next to Vida, Ada and Daniel sat on either side of a table with exquisite refreshments placed on the table. But no matter how exquisite the refreshments were, Daniel was not interested in them at all.
Ada broke a piece of pastry into pieces. She had no intention of eating it, so the pastry was broken into pieces and the dregs were all over the small plate.
"Miss, will Madam wake up?" Daniel asked. He was full of gratitude to Vader and devoted all his feelings to the master-servant relationship for so many years.
Although Vida Rozier had an adopted son, Louis, and a granddaughter, Ida, she never married. But Vader prefers to be called Madam instead of Ms. Rozier.
Ada shook her head and said feebly: "The therapist asked me to prepare for the worst. I have had several therapists, and everyone said the same thing. They asked me to prepare for the worst."
"Fils de pute!" Ada swore and continued with a smile, "What preparations are there? Grandma has prepared everything. The coffins have been placed under the manor for a long time. They are all ready-made."
Even when she was cursing, Ada still showed little expression, as if her facial nerves were broken.
Daniel said lonely: "Miss, there is something going on in the family business, and many of our partners are now taking a wait-and-see attitude. If... if Madam doesn't wake up, I'm afraid..."
Ada raised her hand to stop Danielle, she didn't want to hear this. Ada knew this very well. Ever since she appeared in the French magical world, the pure-blood family had not stopped talking about Vader and her, and had been waiting and watching for a long time.
Now people outside are waiting for Vida Rozier to die on the hospital bed, waiting to see the internal fighting in the Rozier family.
When the two or three parties decide the outcome, the winner will continue to represent Rozier and gain all the benefits. If both sides lose, the people waiting around will swarm in and carve up the entire Rozier.
What Rozier, what a pure-blood family, they are nothing but fragrant fat in the face of enviable interests.
Daniel wanted to say something more, he opened his mouth, but swallowed all those words. He knew that it was useless to say anything now. As long as Ada survived the current difficulties, the current problems would be solved.
At this time, Laura knocked on the door and entered. She said: "Mr. Thierry Rozier is here and is visiting Madam. Ada, he wants to have a few words with you alone."
As soon as the words fell, Thierry Rozier appeared at the door.
Thierry looked haggard, his eyes bloodshot. The strange thing is that this time Thierry came alone, without his grandson Henry.
Ada did not show off, she stood up to greet Thierry, and Daniel also said goodbye at the right time.
After sitting down again, Thierry did not speak immediately, but kept looking at Ada's face. Ada let him look at her and broke off another piece of pastry, still breaking it into pieces.
There was a long silence, until the tea in the cup stopped steaming, and then Thierry said, "What are you going to do?"
"Why is everyone asking me what I'm going to do?" Ada said with a smile, "People in the manor ask me what I'm going to do, and you ask me what I'm going to do. What do you think I'm going to do?"
"Don't you have any ideas at all?" Thierry asked, "Did Vader not arrange anything before he fell into a coma?"
Ada picked up the handkerchief on the desk and cleaned her hands, and asked: "From what standpoint did you ask this question? Are you the cousin of Vidal Rozier, or are you just a Rozier?"
Thierry looked at Ada's green eyes, and he found that they were like a bottomless lake, making it difficult to guess and see clearly.
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is still very big. If Rozier comes to ask, I will tell you - my grandmother made all the arrangements before she fell into coma. Anyone who dares to peek into this manor will be doomed."
"What if it is as Vida's cousin?" Thierry continued to ask.
"Then I can only tell you that we are finished." Ada said. "Before she fell into coma, we all thought she just had a cold, including herself. The condition worsened inexplicably, causing her to fall into a coma. This is something that everyone expected Something I didn’t expect.”
Thierry stood up suddenly, lowered his voice and said: "What do you do for food! She is sick, is this your attitude? I feel cold, who can believe this!"
Ada raised her head, looked at the somewhat irritable Thierry, and continued: "If I say that she was unconscious because of poisoning, can you hand over the murderer to me? If not, please sit down."
"Who did it? Alan? No, he doesn't have the courage. If he had the courage, I would still think highly of him."
Thierry sat back on the sofa and seemed to be asking Ada, but also seemed to be talking to himself, "Vincent? No, no, he is just a spendthrift who eats, drinks and has fun. He doesn't have the ability."
Thierry suddenly stopped talking to himself, looked at Ada steadily, and fell silent again.
"You don't think it was me who did it, do you?" Ada asked with a smile. "I couldn't wait to take over the family property, so I poisoned my grandmother. That's what you're thinking at the moment, right?"
There is an ancient saying: Before I get strong, getting strong means changing.
Nowadays, people have something to say: How can there be a prince in the world who has been seventy years old?
Although the wealth accumulated by Vida Rozier cannot be compared to that of the entire world, it is not impossible for someone to have evil intentions. Especially since this person is so bold and his relationship with Vader is not deep.
Thierry observed Ada carefully and found that her clothes were neat, her hands were clean, her long hair was very smooth, and there was no trace of sadness in her brows.
Is this trying to hold on, or does he not care about Vader at all?
"You seem to think that my state is too normal and I don't feel any sadness at all, right?" Ada asked.
Without waiting for Thierry to answer, she continued: "One thing I always can't figure out is why other people are sad when someone dies. Obviously everyone will die, it's just a matter of sooner or later. Tell me, why? ?”
A sudden fear arose in Thierry's heart. He couldn't believe that such indifferent words came from the girl in front of him!
The frightened Thierry Rozier said nothing more. He quickly left the Rose Manor and returned to his courtyard. It was only then that Thierry finally recovered from his shock.
In the room of Rose Manor, Ada rubbed the dull ring on her ring finger and murmured——
"Why run? I'm not a devil."
