Pursing her lips, Viviana looked at Russell speechlessly.

"I was indeed inconsiderate in this matter. I will apologize to Talina."

"I will no longer use Talina's happiness as compensation. You can rest assured about this."

Russell, showing rare submissiveness, bent down to pull Viviana up from the ground and brushed the dust off Viviana's skirt.

Viviana is now as tall as Russell. Once upon a time, the girl in front of her was still a timid little girl, pulling her trouser legs and looking at her blankly and helplessly.

Russell stroked Viviana's cheek with his palm, and wiped the tears of excitement with his rough thumb. He sighed helplessly.

"Let's talk about what you just said tonight. Call Talina over tonight and we can discuss it together."

"Mom, do you agree?!"

There was no refusal in Russell's words. In Viviana's view, this was another way of agreeing to her request.

She was so ecstatic that she didn't care about the dust on her body. She opened her arms and was about to hug Russell's neck, but was pushed away by Russell.

"I didn't agree. All of this has to wait until Talina wakes up. Before that, you are not allowed to see her!"

Linguang Residence

In the living room, Sofia looked at the registration form in her hand, checked it carefully, and signed her name. Mainna sat on the side reading the newspaper.

After seeing her cousin resolutely choose to participate in the so-called knight competition, Mainna turned her attention back to the newspaper.

I can’t persuade him, I really can’t persuade him!!!

His cousin's stubbornness was beyond his imagination.

Even though he told Zofia all the tricks of knight competition, he tried to make her give up.

But Sofia still decided to dive into this bottomless pit.

During the years he lived in the Great Knight Territory, Mainna had already seen through this game of capital.

The so-called champions are nothing more than spokespeople created by those companies. Once they lose their value, they will be abandoned immediately.

Given Sofia's temper, she probably won't bow down and give way to those guys.

It's time to prepare!

After sending the text message that had been edited long ago on the phone, Mainna looked at the recipient with the Sarkaz avatar on the phone and sent him an OK emoticon.

"The things are already there. Arrange a place for us to stay and we'll bring them to you when the time comes!"

Sarkaz's avatar lit up, and a long string of text messages was sent, along with a picture.

In the picture, a black-haired Sarkaz man is standing not far away, with two short handles exposed behind his back, which look like some kind of weapon, but the photo is a bit blurry and not very clear.

"Although we're friends, I still have a bunch of brothers to support, so I have to pay you!"

"How many?"

Counting the deposits in his account, Mainna calculated the expenses of this operation in his mind.

Mainna, who had traveled with them before, certainly knew their abilities. After calculating her own savings, Mainna felt a little troubled.

With his current savings, he can afford it, but after this incident, he will basically have to spend all his savings as he still has to support his family.

"Well, for the sake of our friendship, how about I give you a discount?"

There was no reply from Mainna for a long time, and Sarkaz might have guessed something.

"Play a few off?"

"How about one gold coin? That's a good deal!"

Seeing these somewhat funny words, Mainna put down the newspaper in her hand.

His fingers hovered over the keyboard for a long time before pressing anything.

"it is good!"

I think I understand that instead of being wasted by others, it is better to follow my own rhythm. We can't ignore the majority of people because of one or two people. Let it be ooc, let it be.

Volume 2: Chapter 54: Sorry

What hurts more than the body is the soul.

Curled up in the quilt, Talina hugged herself tightly, clutching her shoulders helplessly with her hands.

In her dream, countless dark shadows surrounded her, their shrill howls frightened her, and the boundless darkness drowned her, pulling her into the bottomless abyss.

Struggling, crying, it's all in vain.

She is the only one here.

Just when she was about to be completely buried, a ray of sunlight broke through the darkness and illuminated her vision.

A slender but powerful hand grabbed her wrist and brought her out of the abyss.

Before she could say thank you, the hand holding Talina suddenly turned into an iron chain, locking her tightly and making her unable to move.

The darkness flowing around her rose from the ground and transformed into solid iron rods, imprisoning her.

The iron rods bend, fold, and finally intersect with the dome, forming a huge birdcage that imprisons the bird inside.

A golden figure appeared outside the cage. Looking at the familiar figure, Talina stretched out her arms expectantly, hoping that she would be taken out of the cage.

The figure raised his hand horizontally, passed through the gap between the cages, and touched Talina.

The moment their fingertips touched, the figure dissipated like foam, turned into nothingness, and disappeared before Talina's eyes.

With her only salvation cut off, Talina fell into despair again. The shackles on her body became more and more numerous and heavier, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Someone...save me! Anyone...can..."

As Talina cried out, familiar figures appeared in her mind one by one.

Just when Talina thought she was about to be redeemed, she was horrified to find that chains were spreading out from under the feet of these figures.

Those shackles on my body were imposed by them!

The chains dragged on the ground, making a rattling sound. Talina stepped back in fear, avoiding the approaching figures.

"Don't come over here! You, don't come over here!"

Having retreated to the border, Talina had nowhere to retreat. Desperately, she looked at the figures stretching their arms towards her and hugged her legs in fear.

Wow!

The figure twitched the chains, like a demon seeking revenge, pulling Talina towards them.

The irresistible force of the chains made her resistance look like a joke. Her fingers desperately scratched the ground. Now she was like a bird fallen into the water.

Scared, but helpless.

A cold touch hit her body, and the figure behind her couldn't wait to pounce on her and tear her to pieces.

This feeling is not pleasant, and can even be said to be a torture.

I watched helplessly as I was possessed bit by bit, eaten up, drained of my blood, and then treasured by them as a treasure in their hearts.

"don't want!!!"

Waking up from the nightmare again, Talinlinna sat up from the bed, clutching the quilt with her fingers, and looked at everything in the room in fear.

Cold sweat had soaked her back, and the thin fabric stuck to her skin, allowing her to experience some reality.

Heavy breathing came from her mouth, and the strange and terrifying nightmare deeply entangled her.

Looking at her wrists, even though those were just illusions, Talina felt that the chains were still wrapped around her body.

"Huh! Why would I have such a nightmare? Could it be that I've been through too much recently?"

After a moment's pause, Talina looked out the window, and the gradually setting sun told her the current time.

goo~

A groan came from her stomach, and only then did Talina feel the weakness and powerlessness.

After sleeping for a whole day, she managed to recover somewhat, but she also missed her meal time.

She lifted the quilt, put on her slippers and got out of bed. Talina casually washed her face with a towel, and the warm water washed away her confusion.

"Like... Viviana likes me?"

The girl in the mirror showed a distressed expression. Her slender fingers touched the warm water in the sink, and a ripple spread out, shattering the girl's reflection.

Viviana's unreasonable "confession" really dealt a heavy blow to Talina.

She never thought that her family, whom she lived with day and night, would have such thoughts about her. She thought that the intimacy they had before was just the affection between relatives.

But the result is...

"How are we going to get along in the future?"

The girl's fingers drew circles in the pool, and her mood was just like the warm water, with endless waves disrupting her emotions.

After knowing Viviana's thoughts, Talina would never be able to get along with her as defenselessly as before.

The gap between sisters and lovers is like a chasm, they are not even the same concept at all.

Even though she and Viviana were both Russell's adopted daughters and had no blood relationship, legally they could be together.

But Talina couldn't accept this emotion, it made her feel like a... thief?

Russell took her in from Patsy and raised her. She should have been grateful to Russell and repay this kind "mother".

But the reality was the opposite. Not only did she fail to repay the favor, but this kind of thing happened instead.

Everything that happened last night was still fresh in her mind. Viviana's explicit confession made her wake up from a dream. Only then did she realize that everything Viviana did was full of ulterior motives.

"Forget it! Just pretend it never happened!"

The upset Talina decided to cut the Gordian knot and keep all of this in her heart. From then on, she would still be Russell's good daughter and Viviana's good sister.

After opening the door, Talina was about to step out when something placed at the door caught her attention.

"This is..."

A portion of food was placed at the door. Perhaps the person who placed it there didn't want the food to get dusty, so he covered it with plastic wrap.

It’s just that because it was left for too long, the food had cooled completely and the oil stains floating on the surface had solidified into lumps, making it no longer edible.

"Did Viviana put it there?"

Taking the food, Talina went downstairs to heat it up and fill her hungry stomach.

The sound of Talina coming downstairs attracted the people sitting in the living room. Russell turned around and saw Talina in her pajamas and the plate of food in her hand.

"woke up?"

Russell smiled from the bottom of his heart and waved to Talina, "Come, come here for a moment."

Following Russell's call, Talinna gave up her original goal and turned to walk towards Russell.

Putting the plate in her hand on the table, Talina sat down next to Russell, but Russell directly picked her up and put her on his lap.

"Mother?"

Looking up in confusion, Talina looked at her aging family member.

The mottled wrinkles on her face make Russell look no longer so young, but they also give her a kindness that has been accumulated over the years.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm so selfish."
