old dream

Chapter 319 The person over there
"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have heard your voice."

Bernice rubbed the doll's tiny cheeks, then looked up into her ruby ​​eyes expectantly, encouraging her to open those delicate lips and say something.

But the puppet still just lowered her head quietly, she looked at the woman in front of her who was very kind to her, she didn't have much resistance, but she didn't intend to speak at all.

The maid felt a little strange, turned her head to look at Colin, and asked about it.

"...why hasn't she spoken all the time?"

Colin repeated Bernice's question in a low voice, fell silent, and then explained softly after a while:
"After a high fever when she was a child, she didn't make a sound anymore." Colin said regretfully:
"And..." He pointed to his head:

"There are some problems in this area as well."

"Ah... so that's the case." Bernice subconsciously covered her mouth and let out a small exclamation.

Boyd Elvis didn't know what they were talking about, so he just tilted his head in confusion.This kind of reaction fell into Bernice's eyes, but actually confirmed what Colin said.

"Luckily among misfortunes, at least she is not in pain." Colin continued to make nonsense:

"No madness, no drooling from dementia."

"Instead she became more peaceful than ordinary people, like a child forever, or transformed into some kind of animal more graceful than human beings."

Colin stroked the doll's silky hair gently.Say:

"And her attending doctor said that this situation can be recovered, as long as the family gives more love and support. In fact, now Bobo has changed little by little in a good direction."

After listening to Colin's words, Bernice's motherhood became even more rampant.She hugged Boyd Elvis lovingly, and he gave him a token push before resignedly accepting.

"I don't know why, but she was wary of you at first." Colin looked at this scene and said:
"But now she seems to have accepted you."

"is it?"

"Well, maybe her recent improvement is partly because of you." Colin said.

"That's great." Bernice said contentedly:
"It's great to be able to help her."

The puppet's head was resting on Bernice's shoulder, and it raised its eyes helplessly, looking at Colin who was standing behind Bernice.

I always feel that the goddess is a little speechless at this time.

Colin cleared his throat nonchalantly:

"However, although this child has always been lovable, few people will spoil her like you." Colin looked at them and continued:

"After all, I'm also her guardian, can you tell me why?"

"...Why?" Bernice turned her head and said after thinking about it:
"Because she also reminded me of my previous dreams," she recalled:
"Why did I go to Yago to learn design? Because in a parade, I once saw the Grand Duchess dressed in a float... At that time, I was a child, and she was sitting in the carriage. I just watched from a distance. I glanced at her and didn't even see it too clearly. But I always feel that she is the most beautiful person in the world."

"From then on, I started to make such people look more beautiful. The reason may be that I wanted to get closer to them. That's why I went to Yago. Although I don't have much talent, I have been working hard towards it, and it has been successful. Enter the court."

Bernice withdrew her hand from the puppet, looked at her open palm in confusion, and said in a daze:
"Yeah, so at the beginning, I only entered the Garden Palace for such a simple idea."

"But why did things turn into this step today...?"

She was talking to herself as if in another world.

which step?From a tailor to a female official who manages the whole palace all the way inexplicably?

"Now, I finally have an opportunity in front of me..."

Bernice looked at the doll in front of her again and said:

"I have a vague premonition that life will change completely soon"

"What changes?"

"Maybe in the near future, I won't have to worry about so many troublesome and embarrassing things. I only need to play with a few nice clothes every day, and I can live well." She said in a daze:
"Just like those noble ladies in the palace who don't use their brains, live a life of pampering, peace of mind and happiness."

According to the information that Colin could find, in the Garden Palace, Bernice was from a humble background.But she has gradually grown from a servant to a female official in the garden palace - this requires strength, and besides business strength, it is inevitable that there must be some strength to fight openly and secretly.

Ke Lin had never been in contact with the court of the Principality, but he could somewhat imagine that that place would only be another Shura hell.So he originally thought that Bernice's personality would be stronger. At least, she should not be a person who is willing to live by her husband.Because if she didn't want to prove her worth, she wouldn't have won the brutal competition in the Garden Palace in the first place.If one only wants to live a stable life, it is impossible for a tailor to go to this point.

But now, Colin saw a trace of tiredness in Bernice's eyes.And the longing for another life in the distance, those are some faint lights.

"That sounds like it." Colin said half-jokingly:

"Could it be that some noble person in the palace has taken a fancy to you?"

Just as Bernice withdrew from her trance, she looked away from the doll.But when she heard this sentence, she was taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't expect Colin to think so, but then she laughed again.

"Probably so."

She paused, her gaze became complicated, and she turned to look in the direction of the garden palace:

"That's... a remarkable nobleman."

After saying this, Bernice was silent for a long time.But Colin was less interested in these court gossips.

No matter which big shot Bernice wants to cling to, there may not be any good results in the end.This point does not need to be reminded by others, she should be the most clear.

Through the window facing the street, Colin looked again at Mrs. Tuwana's club opposite the tailor shop.Unsurprisingly, the doors are now closed.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the club opposite?" Colin asked casually.

"Huh?" Bernice thought about what she had seen and heard in the palace a few days ago, and said with a little regret:

"It seems that something happened to the owner of the store. She has returned to Otu, so this club no longer exists."

"Is that so..." Colin nodded, expressing regret.

"Well, so you are also from there."

Bernice said suddenly and abruptly.

"What?" Colin didn't respond for a moment.

"The last time you were in the store, you were always looking in the direction of the Tuwana Club. Then something went wrong there," said Bernice.
"I heard a lot of things in the palace. I know there is still a line in this world. Ordinary people stand on one side ignorantly, and others stand on the other side."

"And you are the one standing on the other side."
