Mystery: Lucky One

These words were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished Renette's anger. She realized that it was pointless to lose her temper with Miss Destiny. She was not someone she could communicate with in a normal way. Instead of talking to her, it would be better to talk to someone who could control her.

Then Renette looked at Alice deeply, her figure became lighter and was about to disappear from the spot. Alice was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly unfolded a silver river while Renette had not completely disappeared.

In the river that connected end to end, the objects blown by the strong wind were restored. Alice gave Reinette an apologetic smile and blinked her eyes as she said:
"I'm just packing up...it would be troublesome to put it back together after you leave."

……

At night, on the passenger ship heading from the South Continent to Dixie.

Encountering the "Black Emperor" on the return ferry was undoubtedly bad news, but as a newly promoted "Weird Mage", Klein felt that this was a good opportunity to act.

In the past few days, Klein has begun looking for opportunities to try out role-playing, mainly to scare people. For example, now he has made a cardboard puppet that is slightly thicker than a piece of paper. When this puppet stood on the "Black Emperor", Klein couldn't help but mutter to himself:
“Actually, this doesn’t really look like a sign…”

It was at this time that Renette Tinicole appeared. She emerged in the guest room carrying four heads. The air in the room instantly became chilly. Klein looked at the source of the chill, only to see one of the heads open its mouth and spit out a gold coin.

Klein was somewhat bewildered. He glanced at Reinette, then at the gold coins that had fallen to the ground. He could not understand the purpose of this action, so Reinette explained it to him with good intentions:

“Your…” “daughter…” “threw…” “this…” “gold coin…” “into…” “my…” “mouth.”

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, but he didn't have a good solution for this, so he gave Reinette a reliable suggestion:

"I think at least under normal circumstances, she listens more to the Goddess of Night."

Renette stared at him coldly without saying a word.

Klein realized that this suggestion was not very popular. He smiled awkwardly again and said tactfully:
"I'm sorry, but I think her attitude towards you may be very respectful, at least within the scope of angels or even true gods."

As he said this, Klein thought of the images of Amon in Alice's mind, as well as her desire to touch the magic wolf's fur.

At least she doesn't treat you as a big rag doll... Maybe she doesn't like playing with dolls?
Klein took a look at Renette Tinicole's appearance and thought that Alice might just not like the exotic dolls.

The big, bizarre-style doll seemed to have read something from his eyes, and said in a tone that was hard to tell whether it was praise or sarcasm:

“As expected…” “Yes…” “Fate…” “Miss.”

The expression on Klein's face became even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, it seemed that Renette Tinicole only intended to bully this poor father or mother to vent her anger. After saying this, she disappeared silently.

Looking at the place where Renette's figure faded away, Klein rubbed his throbbing brows, and after the secret doll left, he headed above the gray fog.

……

"Always feeling sick? Loss of appetite?" In the office, after listening to Ms. Liana's description, Allen looked at Hazel Macht thoughtfully, "It sounds like a gastrointestinal problem...Are there any other symptoms?"

"Uh..." Hazel hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to be honest in front of the doctor, "I've been a little listless and sleepy lately."

Alan nodded. He didn't have too many thoughts. After all, he was just a professional doctor. He stood up and said to Ms. Liana who looked worried:

"I'll take you to find my colleague."

"Okay..." Ms. Liana, distracted, pulled Hazel up and followed Alan.

Alan quickly led them into an office. The name on the sign at the door read Jonathan Green. Hazel saw that he was an internist.

She sat down obediently and repeated to Dr. Jonathan exactly what she had said to Dr. Allen. The doctor listened to the whole thing, frowned, looked her up and down, and smiled at her nervous look:

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal... I might have to do some tests to make sure."

Ms. Liana nodded in understanding, but Dr. Jonathan's next words made her frown:

"Judging from her age, your daughter should not be married yet?"

"Of course not," Liana answered without hesitation.

Jonathan nodded, then asked, "Are there any boys you're dating?"

Liana was less quick to answer this time. She asked directly, "What does this have to do with the diagnosis?"

"I noticed that you and your daughter were both very nervous," Jonathan smiled. "This examination requires the patient to be relaxed... so I'm just chatting with you."

Ms. Liana heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and answered the previous question:
"No...Hazel doesn't like those young boys. She prefers mature gentlemen. Her father and I have always been troubled by this..."

I like mature gentlemen... Jonathan paused for a moment, his eyes swept over Hazel, and asked in a slightly serious tone:

"Ma'am, could you please step out for a moment?"

Ms. Liana frowned and looked at Allen. Allen also looked at this colleague and friend inquiringly, but Jonathan just smiled and said to Allen:

"You can stay for a while if you're worried."

"Can I ask what test you want to have?" Ms. Liana looked at the male doctor and asked in a cold tone.

After Jonathan paused for two seconds, he turned to Alan and said:
"Well, Alan, go get Sandy."

"Sandy...?" Ms. Liana's eyes were confused for a moment.

Alan paused. He knew that the Sandy Jonathan was talking about was a female doctor specializing in gynecology. Jonathan probably saw that Liana was worried, so he asked a female doctor to accompany her, but...

Some things can obviously be done by nurses, and Sandy is not the only female doctor in the hospital. Jonathan specifically asked for her, could it be...

Alan frowned and looked at Hazel.

Gynecological problems, lethargy, nausea...

Alan, whose wife had been pregnant with three children and successfully gave birth to two of them, frowned, and after a moment of calmness, he got up and walked out.

He returned with the doctor named Sandy soon. Then, Jonathan called Sandy aside and whispered something to her. When he turned around, Sandy persuaded Ms. Liana:
"Ma'am, please step out for a moment... I need to do some checks on this young lady."

After a pause, Sandy turned to Alan and Jonathan and said mercilessly:

"You guys also get out."

Liana finally couldn't help it, she asked anxiously: "Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?"

"I need to check to confirm," Sandy replied easily, "but don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Liana opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself, but Allen, feeling something in his heart, walked up to her and whispered:

"Let's go out first."

The three doctors present all said so, and even though Ms. Liana was still worried, she still followed him out, but her expression was full of worry and uneasiness.

After watching the three people leave and close the door, Sandy looked at the young girl and smiled softly:
"Don't worry, I just have a few questions I want to ask you alone. But if your mother is here, some things may not be convenient to talk about... Your name is Hazel, right?"

Hazel nodded.

Sandy smiled and said, "It's a good name... I guess your parents must love you very much?"

Hazel uttered a very short "hmm".

"Why are you so nervous?" Sandy shook his head with a smile. "I heard that you don't like young boys, but prefer elegant gentlemen? So, have you met any gentlemen who impressed you recently?"

Hazel paused for a moment, and the face of Dwayne Dantès appeared in her mind.

Sandy noticed this subtle change and continued with a smile:

"It seems like you have it? Do you mind telling me about it?"

Hazel didn't respond. She asked rather sharply:
"What does this have to do with what you said about not being able to talk about topics when my mother is around?"

"It doesn't matter," Sandy spread her hands, "I'm just a little curious... I always feel that listening to the stories of girls of this age can make me younger."

Hazel paused for a moment, then said in silence:

"He is old enough to be my father..."

This was undoubtedly a shocking beginning. Sandy reached out and pinched his eyebrows to hide his slightly stiff expression.

Hazel didn't notice this abnormality. She recalled and narrated:

"I have met him several times at banquets. He is a very mysterious gentleman. He has experienced a lot in his youth and has many secrets...

"He seems to have had a lot of adventures. I have heard many of his adventure stories. They are wonderful, very wonderful. Sometimes I want to go and see them myself after listening to them..."

The target of these words was undoubtedly Dwayne Dantès. Hazel picked and chose and said something very positive. The more Sandy listened, the stiffer her expression became. It was not until Hazel finished speaking that she smiled and asked:

"It seems like you guys talked about a lot of things... Did you just talk about it at the party? I thought such rich content would take at least a few letters or even a few dates to discuss!
"Now it seems that I am really old and conservative in my thinking."

The word "date" finally made Hazel realize that something was wrong. She frowned and directly retorted:
"We're not that kind of relationship...we're just friends who have met a few times!"

"Really?" Sandy asked with a smile.

Hazel said without hesitation: "Of course! How could I possibly..."

She paused and didn't say the following words, because that was not suitable for ordinary people to know, so she changed the topic:
"…In short, what I pursue is not love."

"I see," Sandy sighed, "You're looking for a great adventure, the mystery of the unknown... Is that right?"

Hazel looked at Sandy in surprise. Since what she said was right, she didn't refute it. Instead, she nodded with some arrogance as a response to Sandy.

This is even worse. Sandy, who had a preconceived idea, thought about it carefully and was terrified. She lowered her eyes and asked with a smile:

"In that case, have you ever explored some unknown mysteries together? Have you ever done anything to take your relationship a step further? For example, some shared secrets, or a more intimate communication between the soul and the body..."

Hazel's dull nerves finally received the signal from Sandy. It took her some time to react. The other party suspected that she and Dwayne Dantes had some kind of private intimate relationship, and perhaps something more intimate had happened between them.

Loen was not a country that avoided such things, and Backlund was a relatively open-minded area, but the atmosphere was definitely not as open as that of Trier, the capital of Intis. Such speculation was undoubtedly extremely offensive to an unmarried lady.

"We are not in that kind of relationship!" Hazel retorted angrily, "None of those things have ever happened! We have never met in private!"

Sandy's angry attitude did not seem fake. She frowned and looked at Hazel with a little suspicion, and whispered:

"But... never mind, since you already understand, then...

"How long has it been since you had your period?"

Hazel was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, she said without hesitation:

"According to my calculations, it should have happened in the past few days... This doesn't mean anything, and besides, those things really didn't happen to us!"

"Never?" Sandy said seriously.

"Never." Hazel said firmly.

Sandy frowned, she looked Hazel up and down, and asked carefully:

"What about the others?"

"?" Hazel frowned again. She looked at Sandy angrily and was about to argue.

Seeing this, Sandy naturally got the answer. She raised her hand to stop Hazel from speaking and said in a deep voice:

"I apologize for my colleagues and I's speculation...but I hope you understand that the symptoms you describe are very similar to those in early pregnancy, and a girl of your age...you know, we are just worried that you might hurt yourself out of ignorance, so we can't help but overthink it."

This explanation was very polite. Hazel was not an unreasonable girl. She calmed down her anger and said firmly:

"I know."

Sandy exhaled and said sincerely: "It seems that you are not sick. These are just normal phenomena. I will prescribe some herbal medicine for you later..."

Hazel nodded, and soon the three people outside the door were called in again. Sandy smiled and explained to Ms. Liana:
"It's nothing, it's just normal. I'll prescribe some herbal medicine for her later. She should get enough rest and eat small and frequent meals these days. It's best to eat something that's easy to digest..." (End of this chapter)
