To Four Thousand Years Later

The heavy wooden door] was pushed open, and the morning sun shone like light rain. A gentle voice sounded from outside, it was a very young and polite nobleman. He looked to be in his early fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure and fair skin that was somewhat transparent. He has shoulder-length black curly hair, a beautiful and delicate neutral face, and emerald-like clear and bright green pupils.

He wears a gray tuxedo flacquer with light checks. And tight-fitting jacquard cropped trousers, leaning on a man in a green long trench coat with a serious and indifferent face, he pushed the door of the Welfare Hospital to both sides. The young man leaned on the palm tree in front of his body with both hands, and said in a warm voice: "I am Leonardo, the investor of this welfare hospital. His voice is warm enough to melt people's hearts. When his soft words sounded, he spit out softly. His breath was transpiring in the morning air-conditioning.

He looked gently at the surprised dean: "Aren't you going to invite me in, dean?"

...No, please come in. grown ups! "

The dean quickly gathered himself together, and greeted Leonardo in a respectful and almost humble way.

she knows this person

Or rather, she knew the name.

In the North District, there are not many people who care about current affairs. Even if their own life is so difficult, who would care about other people's lives without doing anything?

But she is different... When she was young, she was a maid in a small noble family in the West End. Reading was out of the question—they weren't even allowed to flip the pages.

But after all, she is literate and eager to learn. She can read newspapers while cleaning the table every day, and also learn some knowledge secretly.

Then, while going to pick up the paper one day, she read a piece of bad news on the way home. It was the entertainment news of her master's public taunting at a ball of one of the Patsy heirs. The heir and her master happened to be considered colleagues, and the previous relationship was not very good. This time it was a concentrated explosion of contradictions.

She immediately realized that something was wrong, packed her things all night, and fled the main house with some cash and books stolen by Ruo, and hid in the North District.

Sure enough, three days later, the gas pipe in the little noble's house exploded, killing seven and injuring three. All the servants died, only the nobleman, his wife, and daughter suffered burns all over their bodies and were rushed to the hospital for treatment. Soon the three nobles also died of wound infections. The only one who survived was her.

Therefore, even if the dean lives in the North District, he still chooses to work in the printing factory in the city during the day. Even if there is not much left in her wages after deducting the fare of the round-trip steam bus, she is still willing to read the day's newspaper because she is working as a printer. This allows her to never be eliminated by the tide of the times. By the way, she also learned the word "era" from newspapers. Metro North Railway. It is said that it is going to be named "Leonardo Metro". And a new, extremely expensive new textile machine, also called the "Leonardo machine". It is said that he also discovered what "Leonardo's law", the most important thing the society decided to award him the honorary title of the university. He is a student of the same teacher as Lord Lorenzo! In other words, he is the most trusted support of the new Grand Duke - it is almost certain that with this big man as a backer, their welfare hospital can really be maintained this time! The eye sockets of the old dean suddenly became moist. Looking at the familiar figure at the door, Katie was first surprised, and then pleasantly surprised—her eye sockets were also moist for a while. Not because of anything else, but nostalgia and excitement.

Yes, she's seen this...she remembers it!

- This is the adult who gave her the dignity and soul of an ordinary person, allowing her to become a human being again!

"Master Leonardo, long time no see!"

Katie squeezed over, but there was a trace of uneasiness hidden in her eagerness and gratitude: "Do you still...remember me?"

"Of course I remember you, Katie."

Leonardo replied easily.

Even if he didn't look at her name, with Leonardo's memory, he wouldn't easily forget other people's names. Not to mention, less than four months have passed since Leonardo saw her.

Seeing that Katie actually knew this lord, the dean and the nurses looked over in surprise.

For a while, the surroundings were suddenly quiet. Only then, under the reminder of the atmosphere, did Katie realize how impolite she had just done, and she was at a loss for what to do.

Even though she had met Master Leonardo herself, this thought appeared in her mind at this moment.

After all, her previous "that" job was really not decent. If it is said that he knows Lord Leonardo, outsiders may only understand that he saw him there.

not like this! Lord Leonardo is by no means a frivolous person, but a kind and upright good person!

She wanted to greet the questioning eyes of the people around her and shout out loudly, telling everyone about this.

But she didn't have that courage—she didn't have the willpower to stand up to those around her.

Katie began to feel guilty for her inappropriate timidity.

"I was looking for you the other day, Katie. At the address you gave me."

Leonardo stared at himself with clear eyes. Make Katie's face a little hot, find you. The new resident said you moved out. but don't tell me where you are. Katie still remembers it. Leonardo said before that when he needed information on the North District, he would come to Katie's house to find her, and would pay some interview money as "compensation for disturbing her work." But her dirty and lowly job... Is there really a need for compensation? Leonardo told her there was. But Katie took it only as a benevolent consolation.

She never thought that Leonardo would really look for her...

"I'm sorry, my lord. I was here at that time. She felt Leonardo's gaze, and a drunken dizziness rose in her head for a while.

Katie whispered: "My sister has already gone to school, and I can live anywhere by myself. I'm very sorry... for wasting your time.

"It's okay. It didn't take long."

Leonardo paused his cane indifferently, and said casually, "You can still live now?"

"Very well, my lord. I am quite satisfied."

"That's fine."

Leonardo responded simply: "I remember you, because you are still gentle and kind in your painful life. Maybe I am talking too much, but if possible, I hope you can still try your best to maintain this kindness. ...although it won't do you any good."

Afterwards, he smiled and nodded gently to the people around him, followed the dean and left to inspect the interior of the Welfare Hospital.

It wasn't until Leonardo's figure disappeared that the surrounding soil nurses and female doctors gathered around, chattering and chattering.

"Katie, do you know that grown-up? He said you were gentle and kind!"

"That adult is really beautiful and elegant! Sister Katie, where did you know him?"

"Is he a foreign nobleman? I think he has a royal accent..."

"Except for looking a little short."

"That's cute!"

Seeing her colleagues who were alienated from her, Katie, who was alienated because of her past occupation, felt for the first time that she was the center of the topic.

She felt momentarily at a loss. But then there was a rush of pride.

She wants these people to know how great Leonardo is! To the girls who gathered together to fish in groups, Katie whispered her own story. In her eyes, there was a light of innocence like a girl's.
