Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 43 Elizabeth the Three Lambs

   "Understood." Diaz packed his luggage neatly, "By the way, Mr. Chris, I have to find another place to settle the money you gave me."

   Just now, all my thoughts were on Nord, but Verac didn't think about the money for a while. Now that Diaz mentioned it, he came and asked with interest: "Where did you settle before?"

   "Here." Diaz moved a stool into the bathroom, stood on the stool and pried open the ceiling, and pulled out a box containing 550,000 gold grams from a very narrow partition.

   "You modified this?" Verak entered the bathroom and asked, pointing to the hidden compartment on the ceiling.

   "Yes, it was made temporarily." Diaz took out the box and jumped off the stool.

   Less than a day had passed since Verac delivered the box to Diaz and arranged for him to keep it. On this day, Diaz helped Verac to check twenty-four hotels, and even made a secret compartment by the way to hide the box in. And judging from his tone, it is estimated that this is only a preliminary arrangement. If there is enough time, it will be hidden more safely and concealed.

   "It's already very good." Verac felt grateful for his decision to buy Diaz.

   No matter how you look at it, Diaz is perfect.

  Loyal, brave, thoughtful.

   It is not easy to account for even one of these three points.

   "It's still not safe enough." Diaz was still not satisfied with hiding here. "I'll find a place to resettle after I move to the Lovid Hotel. It shouldn't take too long."

   "I trust you, just let it go." Verak did not hesitate to trust him.

   "Thank you, Mr. Chris." Diaz still looked a little flattered, and he was very moved by the way "Chris" treated people without any sense of class or distance.

"It will be inconvenient for us to meet when you stay at the Lowid Hotel in the future. So we will be in regular contact. From next week, I will pass by Clayton Garden every day at six o'clock in the afternoon. If there is anything, I will get off and meet you. If you look As long as I don't get out of the car, it's fine." Verak settled for the way of meeting in the future.

  Diaz wrote down seriously: "Understood."

   "Then I'll go first, you all be careful." Verac found out that Nord was still alive, and was satisfied with arranging Diaz's follow-up. He said goodbye to Diaz and went out.

   Walking into the stairwell, Verak didn't rush down, but leaned against the wall, covered his face with his hands, and squatted down slowly.

  Just now Diaz was here, he held back, now that there is no one in the stairwell, he can no longer suppress the joy in his heart, laughing and crying tears, this is the first time he has lost control of his emotions since he came to Laizein for so long.

   Under the intermittent sobs, Verak showed the brightest smile and wiped away the tears.

  He came here again, gained some things, lost some things, and he finally knew where those things were in his heart.

   Nord, more important than half a million gold grams.

   Knowing that Nord is still alive is the best news Verak feels so far.

   "Stinky boy..." The sobbing gradually stopped, Verak wiped his tears, maintained a voice like a whisper, and scolded Nord, "It's good to live..."

After releasing and calming down his emotions for more than ten minutes in a rare environment where he could maintain his true self, Verak finally got up, walked to the window and checked through the blurred reflection that he could not see that he had cried, and then went downstairs easily. Back in the car.

  Daniel felt Veraker's unprecedented joy, and couldn't help asking: "Did you encounter any happy things? Mr. Chris."

   "Yes." Verak leaned back in the chair, grinning, his eyes sparkling.

   "Can you tell me?" Daniel asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Verak wanted to share his joy, so he changed his rhetoric, "I saw a very good story, saying that there were three very good lambs in the past. Worried that there will be no grass, and will not worry about the stormy world, so I took the boss and the third child to search for that world without hesitation. Later, because of some things, on the way to find that world, the boss died, and the life and death of the third child were uncertain. The next child began to question himself. He felt that he had killed the boss and the third child. He felt that such a beautiful world might not exist. Even if it existed, even if he found it, he would not be happy if he was left alone. Second, I feel that I am about to forget who I am and where I came from. It seems that the only meaning of its life is to find that world. As for what will happen after finding that world, even it itself is not very clear. It only knows this way. It will not disappoint the boss and the third who trust it."

  Daniel turned his head and looked quietly at Veraker, who was sitting behind with a smile, as if he was telling a fairy tale.

"At this time, the second child learned that the third child is still alive, and it is far away from the second child. It still trusts the second child, and is still trying to catch up with the second child." Verak said with some tears With his eyes full, he glanced his head and looked out the car window, "The second child has come to life, and all the efforts it has made are more meaningful. It will continue to go down, find that world, and then follow him all the way. The third child, who was not shaken at all, stretched out his hand...isn't that a good story?"

   "That's great." Daniel didn't know whether he was really infected by Verak's story, or simply echoed it.

   But this is not important to Verak, he really wants to tell the world, and even more wants to tell Nord, he will definitely do it, go to the world he yearns for, and then turn around and pull Nord into it.

   It’s just that I can’t say it yet, because now he is not Veraker, but Chris.

   "Okay, let's go back if you want." Verak regained his mood and turned around.

   "Okay, Mr. Chris." Daniel drove the car and began to wander aimlessly.

  For the first time, Verak lay down by the car window and watched the scenery with great interest.

  …

  In the evening, because there was a charity dinner, Verac didn't eat at home. He just went back and changed into a bright dress. After repeated instructions from Fletcher, he set off for the venue of the dinner.

  The charity dinner will be held at eight o'clock sharp.

  Villac arrived at 7:55. At this time, many celebrities had already arrived at the entrance of Baihui Hotel where the dinner was held. Verak led Daniel into the crowd, and showed the invitation letter to the waiter at the door. The waiter took Verak into the hotel and went all the way to the lobby on the second floor.

  Although Veraker in the previous life did not have the opportunity to face the big scene alone, he also attended charity events with the Carmine family, so since entering the scene, he has always been calm and elegant, and politely greeted the dignitaries he met.

   "Chris."

   Just after Verak sat down under the arrangement of the waiter, a gentle whisper came from behind him.

   "Huh?" Verak turned his head and looked, stunned.

   The one who called him was Elizabeth, who Kellerman once said had an unresolved relationship with Chris.
