The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

Chapter 166 Scars

Eva and Grace sat on the edge of the bed, holding each other's hands tightly, looking at each other for a long time.They all had tears in their eyes, and sometimes they looked sad, and sometimes they laughed all at the same time.The tears in the eyes were shaken, turned into teardrops, and rolled down the cheeks.

Some changes have taken place in their appearance.Eva raised her hand to touch Grace's cropped hair, which was once so long and beautiful; she touched Grace's face, which had lost a lot of flesh, and Grace touched her lips with her fingers.Eva knew those hours in the frozen river took away the healthy color of her lips forever.

She took Grace's hand and kissed it, and asked him with tears, "It's all going to be okay, right?" The pain left indelible scars on their bodies and hearts, but fortunately everything has begun to get better up.

Eva told Grace that it was Master Allen who wrote several letters to the local correspondents, "In the few months I was there, there were four different correspondents, sometimes conservatives, sometimes radicals. Conflicts and struggles have never stopped...the second commissioner is also in prison now...the one who signed my release papers is a Konstantinos supporter, but it may be his own He wants to curry favor with Master Allen."

When she said "Master Allen", Grace lowered her eyes, and when she finished speaking, Grace seriously corrected: "You can't use the old title anymore, you must pay attention to these now."

Eva thought of the good news about Master Allen, and couldn't help laughing, "Should I call 'Colonel Ston'? Or follow the name on the street-'Hero Allen'? When I came, I saw someone It's time for a puppet show, about how the hero Alan kicked the king of Prussia's ass with his left foot and the Russian emperor's ass with his right—”

Grace grinned after her, but didn't smile.

"Grace, what's wrong with you?"

Those pure green eyes looked over, at first there was hope flashing in it, but when the hope was shattered, melancholy emerged.

Eva suddenly remembered that it was obviously inconvenient for Grace herself to receive letters, and Master Allen had written several letters to the special commissioner and himself, but he did not write a letter to Grace to bring it here.

He used to like to write letters to Grace so much, even if it was a small thing like winning a game of billiards, he would write it into the letter: "Dear Anna..."

anna...

It took them three days to be able to talk about Anna.

"Is it painful?" Grace suddenly asked on the fourth day of their reunion, when the sun was about to go down completely.Eva hugged his shoulder and wept bitterly.

"You won't forget her, will you?" she confirmed with Grace. "She always said she envied that girl named Orisa. She said it many times, long ago fantasized about being friends with you, But I was afraid to talk to you... Later you asked her if she would come to the capital with you, and she said that was her happiest day."

Grace said, "I killed Anna."

"It's not like this, Grace, you don't know how happy Anna was when she heard the news of your successful escape before she died... But why did you come back?" Eva couldn't help crying again, "Why? Are you going to risk yourself again?"

She would have liked to live with Grace because Grace seemed in need of care.But Grace disagreed, saying that she was afraid that she would bring disaster to her again.

Grace's landlady found her a place near here, and she paid the rent herself.She had some money that Master Allen had given her, in paper coupons, enclosed in a letter of thanks to the commissioner.

She told Grace about it, and Grace simply replied, "Colonel Ston is very thoughtful."

A doctor named "Durand" came by frequently.Eva mistrusted him, and she mistrusted all radicals.But Grace told her that Dr. Durand had also done a lot to save her.But she always heard the words "correction" and "horror" in their conversation, and she was afraid that this stuttering man would bring danger to Grace.

Grace comforted her, saying that she had a special status and that the new government was trying to make people forget about themselves and would not do anything to him.

Eva tended to trust Grace's judgment, but the huge decapitation machine outside was working continuously all day long, which really disturbed her.

Father Banal's name also appeared in conversations between Grace and Dr. Durand.

When Dr. Durand left, Grace said to Eva: "Father Banal also took a great risk for you. Thanks to the influence of his previous pamphlet and his own wit, otherwise he would have He must have become the ghost of Ji Luoting's sword."

Eva was silent now.

"Eva, some things are not the fault of one person... It's not fair to blame Father Banal for those consequences."

Eva swears she definitely didn't mean to make Grace miserable!She had only meant to reassure Grace, to tell him that maybe Master Allen didn't blame him for that.

She said to Grace: "Then you shouldn't blame yourself for Master William's death, it's not your fault."

But Grace trembled violently all over, and she was so frightened that she quickly hugged Grace tightly.Grace covered her face with her hands and begged her: "Stop talking, please stop talking."
