The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

The little girl Dalia was still very scared. Even though she was free again, she still huddled up tightly.

Louise smiled and said, "This is your home."

Slowly, Dalia walked out of her fear and saw the kind and beautiful elder sister in front of her and the familiar room. She asked:

"Is dad really out there?"

"Of course, he has been waiting for you to get better!" Louise used Shallow's extraordinary ability to help the little girl muster up the courage.

Dalia opened the door, and Bartley outside the door saw this scene, tears filled her eyes, and she hugged him in her arms:

"Daughter, you are finally back to normal. Praise the goddess. Dad will never ignore you again..."

You should be thanking me... Louise thought funny, not realizing that this baron was actually a believer in the night.

Dalia also hugged her father affectionately, but still said sensibly:

"Dad, it was this beautiful sister who cured my illness."

Hey, this little girl didn't tell her dream. Louise was a little surprised by this. She had even thought of how to answer this question, but now it seems that it doesn't work...

Holding his daughter's hand, Bartley wiped away the tears on his face and bowed deeply:

"Thank you, thank you, you are my benefactor."

Louise and the serious and cute little girl Dalia looked at each other, suddenly smiled, and responded modestly:

"You're welcome, doctors are kind. This is the first lesson my teacher taught me."

"You and your teacher are both good people." Bartley said with sincere gratitude: "I will not go back on my promise to you. I can immediately find a lawyer to sign the transfer contract."

Louise waved her hand gently and said, "Don't worry, I have two questions. When did your daughter develop such symptoms?"

Bartley glanced at his daughter, turned around and replied, "Let's go to the living room to chat, and we can have a drink by the way."

Louise naturally had no reason to refuse.

After tasting the authentic Earl Gray tea, Bartley began his story. At this time, the little girl Dalia had been taken to rest by the servant.

"About two weeks ago, Dalia started to have symptoms of lethargy, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Until a week ago, she started to become crazy, dance around, and even scratch herself."

"I took her to see many doctors and so-called wizards, but nothing worked until I met you."

Louise smiled politely and then asked: "Have your daughter, or your family, encountered any strange people or things before this?"

Bartley thought for a while, then hesitantly replied: "It seems not. If it's strange, it seems only..."

He glanced at Louise, sighed deeply, and said to himself in a low voice:

"I was once a baron and inherited the title from my family. However, I was not enterprising and indulged in fun. I not only neglected to accompany my family, but also squandered my family property to the limit."

"Only a manor in Dixi is left, the ancestral home where I have always lived, and a few investment shares."

Damn, what kind of Versailles remarks are these... Louise sighed inwardly, listening to him continue to talk about the key points.

"A few days ago, I was invited to participate in a gambling game." Bartley recalled: "It was normal at first, I lost and won, but it didn't take long before I lost all the gold pounds, and then I borrowed more

A large amount of loan sharking, all lost."

"I felt like I had lost my mind that day, losing everything like a walking zombie. When I walked out of the gambling game, I felt like I had just woken up from a big dream."

"It was the weirdest thing that ever happened to me, and right after that, Dalia got this weird illness."

It sounds like a trap, but it's just a money scam. There's no need to harm the family. Is it necessary to destroy the family? But the curse doesn't seem to be about killing everyone... Louise is a little confused, she

ask:

"Who participated in the bet, do you remember?"

Bartley fell into memories, and after a while he answered in surprise:

"I actually forgot everything. I only remembered that the person who invited me to participate in the gambling game was Baron Cliff."

Okay, now we can be sure that there are extraordinary people involved. Is this the guidance of the "Snake of Destiny"... Louise smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter, what are your plans next?"

Bartley answered quickly: "I will change my ways, plan to take Dalia to live in Disi, sell the shares in my hand to pay off the debt, and then give this house to you."

"There's no need to give it to me." Louise declined. She didn't intend to take advantage of others' danger: "Rent it to me."

"Then I'll rent it to you for ten years, and you only have to pay one pound a year." Bartley said, his head spinning very quickly at this time.

It won't take that long... Louise thought, seeing the other party's insistence, she agreed and said, "Okay, thank you for your generosity."

Bartley hurriedly replied: "It's my turn to thank you!"

…………

Queens, No. 62 Harrington Street, the residence of Viscount Connor, which is Thomas's home in Backlund.

When Sophia came to deliver the letter, only Thomas's mother, the Viscountess, was at home.

After she read the letter and sent Sophia away, she stayed in the study until Viscount Connor came home.

"What's wrong? You look serious. Who made you angry?"

The Viscountess was speechless and pointed at the opened envelope on the table.

"Thomas has sent a letter back, which is rare!" Viscount Connor said easily, picked up the letter and read it quickly.

His face slowly became as serious as the lady's: "Is this true?"

The Viscountess obviously thought about it for a long time and answered in a logical manner:

"It is Thomas's handwriting, but the content of the letter is not clear. What is the relationship between this girl and Thomas?"

"Just friends, or a more intimate relationship?"

"If they were ordinary friends, why did he specifically ask someone to send this letter? If they were more intimate, why didn't he explain it clearly in the letter?"

After Viscount Connor pondered for half a minute, he asked: "Have you seen that girl?"

"No, it's a letter sent by her personal maid, but I have invited her to come to my home tomorrow. Please make time to attend," the Viscountess said.

"Absolutely." Viscount Connor promised.

Although Thomas has always been strong, which may be a bit rebellious in the eyes of his parents, he is not determined to be a private person for life... let alone the daughter of a commoner, even a commoner in the Southern Continent...

The Viscount and Viscountess seemed to have been silenced and did not speak for a long time until someone knocked on the study door.

"Come in." Viscount Connor said.

Mr. Butler opened the door and walked in. He held a telegram and said respectfully: "Sir, madam, this is a telegram from Bayam."

Viscount Connor reached out and took it, confirming that it was from Thomas. The content of the telegram was:

"Louise is here, please take care of me."

The couple looked at each other and were speechless.
