Jiahuan couldn't tolerate the misunderstandings that happened to her, especially being misunderstood by her lover.

If Si Baining really hated himself for not fighting, then he might as well tell him right now that he cared very much, was very reluctant, and really wanted to elope with him!

Jia Huan clutched her rapidly rising and falling chest, secretly making up her mind.As a last resort, she had to let Thomas down first.After all, it is much better for Daddy to break his promise once in a while than to lose Si Baining for the rest of his life.After this matter subsides, I will come back to plead guilty to my father, and repay him double for his kindness in nurturing.

Jiahuan looked around the bedroom that had been with her for eight years. The thick dark purple velvet curtains were graceful and elegant, the tulle bed curtains were as elegant and light as the wind, the baroque style copper chandelier, the abstract oil painting with golden frame, and the royal style dark brown sofa and ivory white marble fireplace.

Those small exquisite porcelain vases, jewelry ornaments, carved gold-inlaid ornaments on the dressing table, and even the continuous and winding maroon patterns on the wallpaper are all so familiar and friendly to Jia Huan.

This is Thomas's love for her. Whether it is materially or spiritually, Thomas has cared for her meticulously and nurtured her.All of this is a special gift from God after she encountered all kinds of misfortunes.

"I'm sorry Daddy, I really can't live without Si Boning. But I also can't live without you, I hope you can forgive me for this selfish decision when I come back,"

Jiahuan took a deep breath, secretly made up her mind, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom.

The music in the hall had stopped long ago, and the entire Sherlock Castle became quiet and serene.The guests who came today were the same as usual, most of whom lived in northern France not far from the Rhine Falls, and nobles from Schaffhausen, Switzerland.After the banquet, they would be drunk and taken home by the driver to rest, Si Boning didn't need to entertain them too much.

After thinking about it, Jiahuan resolutely walked towards Si Boning's bedroom on the second floor...

"Dang-dang"

Jia Huan tapped three times as usual, and then put her arms around her chest, trying to calm her down.

The corridor was as quiet as usual, and it was even colder than the noise and extravagance in the previous reception.Jiahuan waited patiently for a while, but saw that the door was still closed.

She stared at the dead lock, blinked, her chest pounding.Thinking of Si Baining's indifferent expression when he brought Zhao Nianen to find him before, he didn't even look at himself.Could it be that he was really angry and didn't want to see him? !

No, you can't let him misunderstand like this!Thinking about it, Jiahuan reached out and grabbed the doorknob, twisted it, and pushed the door open with a "huh", and the cold air that was almost still in the corridor waited for an opportunity to rush into the room along the crack of the door.

Jia Huan brushed up her disheveled hair, looked at the empty room and let out a sigh of relief, it turned out that Si Boning hadn't come back yet.The haze in her heart dissipated, and a charming smile gradually bloomed on her cheeks.

"Bang! Pop! Click" a burst of noise suddenly sounded.

Si Boning's bedroom is at the corner of the second floor of the main castle, very claustrophobic.Jia Huan heard the sound was very unusual, hurriedly closed the door of Si Boning's bedroom, and walked towards the center of the corridor.

There is a European-style mural in the center of the corridor on the second floor, and behind the mural is a huge study room.Thomas' bedroom is next to the study on the other side of the castle. There is a movable door between the study and the bedroom, which is convenient for him to come and go freely.

It sounded like it was coming from the study, but Thomas should be resting at this time.What's more, the sound insulation in that study room is very good. As long as the door is closed, even if there is a gun battle inside, people standing outside will not be able to hear any sound.

Jia Huan frowned, her heart beating violently for no reason.She quickly rounded the corner and picked up her pace.From a distance, the door of the study room was slightly opened, and the soft light was sprinkled on the light brown cashmere floral carpet in the corridor like a veil.

Jia Huan caressed his chest, getting closer and closer to the small piece of light, and suddenly hesitated.

Originally, she just wanted to explain her feelings to Si Boning, but Jiahuan believed that as long as she proposed to elope, Si Boning would never have any doubts or objections to her.And tonight, drunk and drunk, is the best time for the two to leave.

Jia Huan vaguely felt a little guilty, if she rushed into Daddy's study rashly, it was hard not to be noticed by Daddy.

While hesitating, another rustling sound came from the study.Jiahuan felt that her position was very unsafe, and once Thomas walked out of the room, her behavior would become even more suspicious.

He didn't know where Si Boning was, but thinking that his father was still awake, it was impossible for him to run away.Now that we're here, we should just see Daddy again. Thinking of this, Jiahuan pursed her lips, gently pushed open the half-closed door of the study and said softly:

"Daddy~ You haven't—"

Before she finished speaking, her voice suddenly stuck in her throat and stagnated. Jia Huan stood at the door with her mouth open, her eyes staring at the study room in horror like dark clouds.

The two-meter-high red coral that was originally placed next to the desk broke into pieces like severed limbs and lay on the floor, which was eye-catching.The desk lamp without the lampshade leaned slantly on the floor by the corner of the table, and the sharp light pierced Jiahuan's eyes like countless silver needles.

pain!In an instant, a thick mist leaked out from his eyes.Jiahuan blinked, and saw that the light cord was wrapped around Thomas' ankle wearing a slipper.

Thomas was lying motionless on the floor in a black nightgown, the slipper on his other foot had long since disappeared, and his pale toe was pointing feebly at the ceiling.Si Boning bent and knelt beside Thomas like a sculpture, motionless.

What's going on here?How could Daddy lie on the floor in such a mess? !What happened? !

"Daddy!" Jia Huan yelled, and Si Boning slowly raised his head when he heard the exclamation.His eyes were turbulent with grief, and there were bleak traces of tears on his cheeks.

Jiahuan looked at him, as if someone had shot him in the chest, and it was hollow.This feeling seems familiar, like when I heard the news of my parents' death from Uncle Wang ten years ago.

"No—" Jiahuan panicked and knelt down on the floor. She supported Thomas' head with trembling hands. Her light golden curly hair was still soft and smooth, and the ends were slightly damp.The golden eyelashes hang down on the eyelids, and the corners of the mouth are slightly curled up to draw a smile.The bridge of the nose stood stubbornly high in the center, but there was no trickle of breathing, calmly and serenely announcing the sad end of a life.

"Daddy, Daddy, look at me! What's wrong with you? What's wrong with Daddy?!"

Jia Huan's last words were directed at Si Boning. Si Boning trembled when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at Jia Huan. The corners of his mouth trembled as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't make any sound.

"Why are you crying! What happened to Daddy?! You are talking!" Jia Huan yelled out of control, tears welling in her eyes.

Holding Thomas' heavy and cold arm and shaking it desperately, his voice was hoarse: "Daddy, open your eyes and look at me, look at me, Daddy—"

"Moy!" Si Boning finally let out a muffled roar, stretched out his arms to wrap around Jia Huan's shoulders, and pressed her wildly shaking head into his chest.

"Don't do this, don't do this, it's useless..." Si Baining said sadly.

"No! Tell me quickly, what happened to Daddy?! He was fine at the reception just now. Was he drunk? Passed out? Did he fall asleep? Why didn't you call the doctor!!"

Jia Huan beat Si Boning's chest desperately, she couldn't face this reality, and she never thought that this long-cherished wish of "seeing Daddy again" turned out to be a life-and-death farewell to Thomas.No!Daddy is not dead, nor can he die.I just blew out the birthday candles and made a wish for Thomas to live a long and healthy life, so how could Daddy...

"Phone, where is the phone?" Jia Huan opened her eyes wide and empty, stood up in a panic and searched around, and finally found the broken ceramic phone behind the sofa chair.With trembling fingers, Jiahuan inserted into the round number hole, and played out Dr. Brown's number from memory.

"Don't!" Si Baining suddenly shouted, as if the order was irresistible.

Jia Huan raised her head and looked at Si Baining in a daze. She was holding on to the receiver of the phone tightly, the busy tone beeped non-stop, like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, beating heavily on her heart.

"Why? Or--what are you afraid of!"

Jia Huan's words were like an ice pick, and Si Boning shuddered all over, avoiding Jia Huan's menacing gaze, and slowly stood up from the floor:

"Things are not as simple as you think, and Thomas is not as simple as you think."

Jia Huan half-understood what he heard, and gritted his teeth in compassion: "What are you talking about?!"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Si Boning actually still played tricks and said such nonsense.If it is confusing, this is not at all like his usual crisp and crisp style.And at this moment, what is more important than finding a doctor and calling the police?What secret is there that I don't know? !

Si Baining still lowered his head, facing Jiahuan's doubts, his expression was tangled and forbearing.After a long time, he took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Jiahuan as if he had made up his mind, with firm eyes:

<(Torranstrom) "<?!" Jiahuan said in surprise.

She kept her gaze fixed on Si Boning's perfect but expressionless face, as if she wanted to find a flaw in the secret, even if it was a clue.

How could Thomas be that vicious commercial spy? !He is a gentleman, refined, generous, and loves himself like his own father.During the eight years of adopting himself, he hardly even left Sherlock Castle, so how could he engage in commercial espionage.

"Impossible?! Thomas can't be that notorious commercial spy, how could he be that Torranstrom who specially adopts orphans to work for him?!"

Jia Huan suddenly opened her eyes wide, a trace of hesitation flashed across her eyes, leaving scars after the truth crossed the border.Si Baining silently lowered his eyes, and nodded affirmatively.Jiahuan looked at him, her eyes gradually lost focus, her hands were trembling and hugging each other, clutching her chest sadly, choking and sobbing silently.
