Chapter 344 The Secret of the Precious Flower (Part 1)

As Lyon wavered, the carriage carrying Lyon's family passed the roadblock, entered the Redwood Avenue, and drove all the way to the depths.

When the two little guys leaned on the edge of the car window and looked at the two huge redwood trees that were a hundred meters high in amazement, Lyon also saw the familiar figure of Senior Emma at the door of Baohua Manor.

Holding a little guy in one hand, after taking William and Melanie off the carriage, Lyon looked at Senior Emma, ​​who was wearing a plain woolen skirt with almost no decorations, holding a little girl's hand, and smiling at him quietly on the street, and his heart was inexplicably calmed down a lot.

"Sorry, we are a little late."

"It's not late, Ellie and I just came out not long ago."

Looking at the two little guys holding Lyon's hands on the left and right, and curiously looking at her daughter, Emma couldn't help but smile, and then gently pinched the small palm in her palm, which was about to make a fist nervously.

"Ellie, say hello to Uncle Leon."

After nodding obediently, the little girl, who was wearing a wide-brimmed children's soft hat on her head and a woolen skirt of the same color, timidly said:

"Hello Uncle Leon, hello Aunt Anna, and... hello to you too."

The little girl's voice was very pleasant, not only as crisp and pleasant as the wind chimes under the eaves in summer, but also with a little soft and glutinous baby voice at the end of her words. Just listening to her voice, it feels like she is a very gentle child.

However, compared with the warm and soft voice, the little girl's outfit is a little "not easy to approach". The cuffs and hem of the woolen skirt seem to have been specially lengthened, covering her wrists and small shoes tightly.

Even the collar embroidered with a few small flowers was erected, hiding the tip of the chubby chin firmly behind it. The face that was already blocked by the wide brim of the hat was also wearing a pair of large glasses that were not very transparent, and the fair little face was almost hidden.

This child...seems to be a little afraid of light?

After looking at the little girl's hand held by Senior Emma, ​​and finding that she was also wearing a pair of delicate little gloves, Leon raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, then let go of her hand and squatted down, smiling and said:

"Hello to you, Ellie, happy birthday to you."

"Thank you, Uncle Leon..."

When Leon squatted down and looked at her level, the little girl, who seemed to rarely communicate with others, instinctively took a step back, and half of her body was hidden behind Emma's skirt.

But after hearing Leon's powerful but not tough voice and seeing his gentle eyes with a hint of love, the fear in Ellie's heart suddenly dissipated, and she unconsciously took another half step forward.

This?

When she found that the little hand held in her palm was no longer tight, and even pulled out a little, as if she wanted to take herself closer to Leon, Emma couldn't help but show a touch of surprise in her eyes.

Ellie didn't seem to resist contact with Leon?

...

[Trustworthy Brother (Bronze): Since your parents died early, you took on the responsibility very early... and are deeply loved by your younger siblings]

[Effect of wearing: When talking to minors younger than you, the other party will easily trust you, and when they are emotionally excited, they will easily trigger the special state "Open Heart" to confide their inner distress and secrets to you]

Sure enough, Emma's daughter has too little contact with others and is indeed a little shy. It was right for me to switch out the badge in advance.

After looking at little Ellie's eyes through the lens and confirming that most of the timidity and strangeness in them had disappeared, Leon couldn't help but smile slightly, then waved to William and Melanie, and asked them to say hello to "Sister Ellie".

On the one hand, with the foundation of [Trustworthy Brother], the tension and timidity in my heart were eliminated, and on the other hand, I met two socially anxious fans of the same age at once, and my mood was quickly brought to life.

Little Ellie, who was not good at dealing with others, quickly overcame the unfamiliarity between them and played with the two devils of the Lyon family. She even took off her glasses and lent them to the curious Melanie to try on.

I guessed correctly that the daughter of senior Emma was "problematic".

Although the two children did not notice it, after little Ellie took off her glasses, Lyon, who had been paying attention to her, keenly noticed that when more sunlight fell on her skin, her body became slightly transparent.

Even if the degree of change was not great, it was only equivalent to changing from a completely opaque real body to a 99.9% opaque degree, but that kind of illusory and erratic feeling could not be faked. She was definitely not a "normal" child.

Before Ellie took off her glasses, Emma, ​​who was chatting with Anna, bit her lower lip slightly, as if she wanted to stop her, but she didn't say anything in the end, letting her daughter's abnormality be exposed to Leon. She only reached out and gently supported Ellie's soft hat when it was tilted during play and was about to be exposed to the sun.

"Miss Anna, can you please do me a favor?"

Looking at her daughter who was laughing and dancing happily in the sun, Emma, ​​who had never been so "lively" before, was half loving and half guilty in her eyes. She was reluctant to move her eyes away for a moment, but finally tried to turn back and asked Anna:

"Can you please help look after them? I have something to say to Leon, please."

"Sister Emma, ​​you don't have to be so polite."

Faced with her lifesaver, Anna naturally would not refuse. She took the three children who were playing and walked far away from the execution platform next to the redwood tree, and entered the Baohua Manor along the main road.

Emma, ​​who had something to say, fell behind half a step and walked to Leon, who also had something to ask, and said softly with drooping eyebrows:

"I'm sorry... Leon, I didn't tell you about Ellie's situation before."

"It doesn't matter."

After shaking his head slightly, Leon replied softly:

"Senior Emma, ​​in addition to ordering gifts for little Ellie yesterday, I also went to find a friend in the police department and asked her to help me check the household registration records of the Baohua family and some of the files of that year.

So I can roughly understand your feelings. It's not that you don't want to tell me, but every time you want to mention the past, too many things will be turned out from the bottom of your heart again, making you unable to speak."

Looking at Emma, ​​who was pursing her lips tightly and looking extremely complicated, Leon thought about it, and then took her slightly cold palm and pressed it hard He shook hands with Ellie, and then explained sincerely:

"Senior Emma, ​​the reason why I did these investigations is not because I suspect you will harm me, but because I feel that you and the director seem to be hiding something from me, and it is a very bad thing for you.

But unlike the director, I am willing to respect your ideas. If you are still not mentally prepared, you don't have to tell me the reason, and I will stop investigating.

But on the other hand, I also hope that you can promise me that before you can't help but do something, you must think about Ellie before making a decision, don't let yourself regret it, okay?"

"Thank you..."

Feeling the warmth from Leon's hand, Emma bit her lip and gently withdrew her palm, then took out a sharp knife, cut her palm with force, and then took the initiative to grab Leon's left hand.
