Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 171 Inside the House

"I...I..." Facing her brother, Margaret hesitated and didn't know what to say.

Seeing her expression, Jack pushed his sister away and broke into the bathroom.

When he saw the bearded man with disheveled hair in the bathtub, his eyes widened involuntarily.

He thought about all kinds of situations, but he really didn't think of this situation.

"What is this?" Jack said with a frown, and was about to use his hands to brush the hair that fell down Charles' face.

Margaret rushed in, hurriedly knocked off her brother's hand, and opened her hands to block him. "no!"

She wondered what her brother would do if he found out who Charles was, but it sure wasn't a good thing.

Looking at his nervous sister, Jack spread his hands and shrugged. "In this case, I can only tell my father about it. You also know his character. If you let him know..."

"Brother, I beg you, don't tell him about this."

"Then you first tell me who this man is, I can't let an unknown person stay in our house."

"He's a good man. I've known him for a long time. Just do me a favor this time and help me keep his secret, okay? And as you said, you're on my side. "

Looking at his sister's red eyes, Jack stroked the beard on his face, and after a final sigh, he turned around and waved his hand lightly, "Take that man and follow me."

"Where are you going??"

"You'll know when you go. Of course, you don't have to go. I'm looking forward to what kind of expression my father will have if he finds him out."

Margaret quickly helped Charles up, and said to the maid next to her, "Gina, quickly bring the towel."

After the two brothers and sisters came out of the Governor's Mansion and walked around the bustling island center area for a few minutes, the car stopped in front of a quiet two-story building with a garden.

Jack, who was sitting in the co-pilot, closed the door and walked straight in. "This place is not bad. No one usually comes here. It's just suitable for you."

"Brother, where did this come from?" Margaret helped Charles, who was in a daze, and walked in.

The decoration of the whole room is simple and elegant, with a unique style. Black marble floor tiles, milk-colored leather sofas.

The interior is dominated by black and white, and a small amount of blue is used as a blend during the period, giving people a clean, clear and refreshing feeling

"I originally used this to hide women, but now I'm letting you hide men. Isn't my brother competent and generous? I used to think that our personalities are not like brothers and sisters, but now it seems that our personalities are really similar." .”

Margaret pursed her lips, and finally held back the words of rebuttal. She helped Charles sit down on the sofa beside her.

"Brother, can I trouble you to find another doctor? Check... He has some injuries."

"Yeah, got it. I'll look for it later." Jack kept looking at the two of them.

"Brother, go quickly, I beg you, his injury is really serious."

"This is my house, what if I stay for a while?"

Finally, under Margaret's repeated persuasion, Jack stood up helplessly and walked towards the door next to him. "Oh, I'm such a tool, I throw it away when I'm done using it."

When Jack walked out the door, there were only two people left in the room.

Looking at the faces so close, Margaret's heart beat fast.

After looking out the door with some guilt, Margaret stretched out her arms and hugged it a little stiffly. After warming for a while, she raised her head and looked at Charles' face.

"Mr. Charles, don't worry, I will cure you no matter what."

Charles' eyes were slightly dull, and he didn't respond to what Margaret said.

Looking at that familiar but unfamiliar face, all the past flashed in Margaret's mind.

Suddenly, she stretched her body forward and kissed her directly. For a moment, she felt that the whole world was quiet, and her heart felt dizzy as if she had drunk wine, but it was very comfortable.

Jack stood outside the residence with a frown, smoking a cigar, and when he was about to finish his second cigarette, he said to the empty left side: "Dig out his details as soon as possible, I want to know who he is Who, and how did you meet Margaret?"

The breeze blew past his ears, and no one answered.

"Also." Jack threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and stepped on it. "Send a few people in to watch him. If he does anything to hurt my sister, kill him and throw him into the sea."

Early the next morning, a smiling Margaret trotted out of the Governor's Mansion with a small box of things.

But as soon as she came out, she had a face-to-face with Daniel who had just got out of the car.

"My little princess, where are you going?" The smiling Governor He Fangdao opened his hands towards his daughter.

Taking the opportunity of hugging, Margaret thought of an excuse, and immediately said with a smile on her face: "Father, Mary asked me to watch a new play. I won't go home for dinner at noon today."

Daniel looked at his departed daughter with some doubts. He always felt that today's daughter was a bit weird.

Margaret came to the two-story building with her things, and as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw the head maid Gina with a tired face.

"Well, was he okay last night?"

Gina yawned and shook her head. "No, he's very quiet at night, but he just says some incomprehensible words from time to time."

"That's good, you go back and rest, I have asked the housekeeper for leave for you."

"Miss, if you are with him alone, will you..."

"It's okay, you can go and rest quickly." Margaret pushed her to go outside.

After seeing the maid leave, Margaret carefully helped Charles up, and then took out the food she made by herself in the box.

Watching him eat it bite by bite, a gratified smile appeared on Margaret's face. She was talking while feeding.

"Mr. Charles, the doctor told me yesterday that the wound on your shoulder is fine, but the injury on the brain is a bit complicated, but it doesn't matter. There is still hope for healing. If you can—"

Margaret stopped talking halfway through, her face was a little red and she continued to feed.

When all the food was finished, she fidgeted for a few minutes with a blush on her face, and hung her body on Charles again.

Listening to the heartbeat, a faint smile appeared on Margaret's face.

After a few seconds, she simply took off her shoes and lay her whole body on Charles.

At this time, in the governor's mansion, Jack was sitting behind the desk with a serious face, dealing with some things.

At this moment, a deep voice rang in his ear: "The information about the one-armed man has been found. He is Charles, the governor of Hope Island who disappeared."

Jack's face was stunned for a moment, and then ecstasy appeared on his face. "you sure?"

"Today, the lady cut his hair and beard. His appearance is exactly the same as the picture posted by Hope Island."

"Haha, my dear sister, you are so amazing that you actually picked him up."
