Teresa won't starve

The little girl, who couldn't concentrate at all, looked back a little irritatedly, wanting to give that talkative person a break.But when she looked over, she found that the person in her memory was not behind her.

And no one said the words that existed in memory.

Everything is just her hallucination...

Only now did the little girl realize that the lights in the room were a little dim.Another look at the timepiece on the wall clock on the wall, it is exactly pointing to the position of [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

So long has passed?So she had unknowingly missed lunch?Kallen was supposed to ask her to have lunch?Original......

Snapped!

Closing her hands with more than half of the book left, the little girl who felt a little hungry put it down, walked out of the library and walked straight to the dining room.

As expected, I saw a whole table of meals, but unexpectedly, I didn't see the people who should have stayed here to eat.

Some are just a note on the table.

It said: Dad has something tonight, so I can't have dinner with little Teresa, I'm really sorry! ! ! (two-headed body Otto Dogeza. JPG picture)

The little girl didn't pay much attention after reading it.

Picking up the bowl and walking to one side, just as he was about to pour a bowl of hot soup, he shrank his fingers just as his fingertips were about to touch the spoon, and was scalded by the handle of the metal spoon.

It was only then that she remembered that because Karen usually made it for her, she didn't know that the soup spoon was actually hot.

The little girl quickly restrained her instincts.

Enduring the scorching sensation from the spoon, he poured the soup into the bowl with as little trembling as possible; then put the spoon back steadily, and then carefully looked at the palm of his hand.

Although there is still some pain and sensitivity to touch, at least there is no redness and swelling on the surface.

The little girl still went to get some ointment and applied it to the palm of her hand.

This is also the anti-trauma medicine that Karen specially prepared for her.Since the medicinal materials are mild and non-irritating, the feeling after application is only relatively cool.

But thinking of Kallen having to endure the pain every time, she would do all kinds of things for her without authorization, but she still had to act like she was not in the way at all.

The little girl couldn't help but frowned:

"Fool."

1526 "Theresa's Discovery 2"

Looking at the almost unchanged meals on the table, if it was placed before, it could barely be eaten.But there is still a lot left until the little girl fills her belly.

So what to do with the rest?

Just throw it away?Or... put it in the fridge overnight?

But tomorrow morning, Otto will probably cook a fresh meal again.In this way, there is no way to eat up the leftover meals.

The little girl was stumped by this question for a while, even if she was as smart as she was, she could not think of the answer to everything.

I thought about it, but in the end I didn't come to a result.

On the contrary, with the coming of night.The little girl who started to feel drowsy under the influence of her biological clock had no choice but to leave a table of cold food alone, then turned around and walked towards her and Karen's bedroom.

Anyway, according to her understanding——

When Otto sees these leftovers, he will probably know what to do with them.He and Kallen are usually responsible for handling the leftovers, and the little girl can always eat fresh meals just out of the oven.

It should be the same tonight.

......

The little girl, who only wore a vest and boxer shorts, was lying on one side of the double bed with a yellow-skinned rabbit doll in her arms.

Obviously not long ago, she still felt like she would fall asleep when she touched the edge of the bed, but when she could lie down, she found that she was extremely awake, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Simply, the little girl sat up and stretched out her hand to caress the other half of the bed which seemed to still be warm.

I couldn't help asking myself: "Karen, why didn't you come back at night?"

No, specifically.

If the little girl hadn't made a mistake in her judgment, it seemed that she hadn't seen her since last night.When I asked Otto, I always changed the topic and didn't answer directly.

Moreover, he also pretended to avoid her. (Note)

Doesn't she look terrible?

The little girl didn't understand very well, but she didn't choose to ask.

Looking down at the yellow-skinned bunny doll with a funny smile, she couldn't understand why anyone would like such a thing.

But because this is a doll that Kallen sewed for her by herself according to the appearance in the video tape; so whenever the little girl is going to sleep, she will treat it as a pillow and hug her in her arms.

then.

The little girl lay down again, trying to make herself fall asleep.

After some attempts to no avail, he put down the doll, got out of bed, put on his slippers, and left the bedroom.Came to the corridor and walked aimlessly while releasing the boredom caused by Karen's absence.

Right at this time.

Faintly familiar voices came from a certain room in front, and the little girl leaned over to the door to listen.

......

"today--"

Listening to the voice, the person who spoke should be Otto.His tone was full of hesitation and suspicion, as if he didn't know what to say or how to continue.

There was a long silence like this, until after a sigh.

"I, as expected, am not a qualified father. I...I try! I try to care about her, but...but every time I see that face, I can't help but think of you..."

"I don't know, I don't know what I did wrong, and I don't know, I didn't know what I did right..."

"I'm still not good at..."

He is confessing?Who are you talking to?

"She asked me, asked you today...I don't know how to answer, I, I'm a little, scared to see her..."

He said intermittently like this for a long time, until Otto realized that it was already late at night, and it was not suitable to continue disturbing other people's 'rest'.So he decided to leave temporarily.

"I'm sorry to say something you don't understand. But don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of her. This is my promise to you."

"Also, good night, Karen."

— Kallen! ! !

The little girl who was eavesdropping outside the door froze for a moment.

Then there was a sound of 'da da da' footsteps inside, and she hesitated for a moment, then immediately walked to the corner and hid.After Otto came out, he turned to the other side as expected, which was where he usually worked.

It wasn't until his voice was gradually lost that the little girl came out from around the corner.Pushing open the unlocked door, he came to a not very bright room.

The lights on the surrounding walls have not been turned on, only a device in the middle is continuously shining.

It was precisely because of this that the little girl saw the device as soon as she came in.

Walking over, I found a translucent rectangular box slowly releasing cold air; Kallen, who had been missing before, was lying in the box to 'rest' at this time. (breathing)

"Karen."

Seeing that she didn't hear her calling, the little girl stretched out her hand to wake her up.

But at this time-

"Don't go there!!"

When the little girl's hand was about to touch the box, suddenly a person hugged her waist from behind, grabbed her wrist in time and brought her back.

When I looked back, I realized that it was Otto who had gone and returned.

"?"

Otto knew that she had a lot of questions now, but he couldn't tell her directly; because he knew Karen, if Karen came by himself, he definitely didn't want his daughter to know.

So in these very short breaths, I thought of an excuse in my heart: "Your mother is not in good health now and needs to rest more. We'd better not disturb her, understand?"

"are you sick?"

"No, she's just, uh...just too tired."

Otto was afraid that she would reveal her truth if she continued to ask, so he made a cruel promise: "Father promises you, you will be able to see her in a few weeks at most."

As for a few weeks later... let's talk about it when the time comes, let's deal with the present first.

The little girl stared at Otto without saying a word with her big strange-colored eyes.It wasn't until Otto saw that he was about to be overwhelmed that he believed him temporarily.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

In order to increase the credibility, Otto also showed a smile as natural as possible: "Then little Teresa, would you like to stay with Dad and wait for Mom to wake up?"

"......Can."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

1527 "Theresa's Physical Examination 1"

After returning, the little girl did not lie down to sleep immediately.

Instead, holding the funny rabbit doll, the things that happened not long ago were repeatedly reflected in her mind; especially the sleeping beauty-like Karen, which made her unable to fall asleep peacefully no matter what.

Obviously, the little girl didn't fully believe Otto's answer.

But she couldn't think of anything else.

What's more, what reason does that person have to lie to her?

"..."

Listening to the tick-tock sound of the wall clock on the wall, I found the glasses on the table, put them in front of my eyes and pressed the button on the frame, and what appeared in the lenses immediately became much brighter.

It also allowed her to see clearly the time on the wall clock, and before she knew it, it was already midnight. She had never had the experience of staying so late without taking a rest.

If Kallen knows...

The night vision function on the little girl's glasses was turned off, and after putting it on the table, she fell asleep and fell asleep.But at this moment, as she smelled the not-so-good scent on her body, a voice echoed in her ears again in a trance.

"Go take a shower before coming back to sleep, you stink!"

"Oh."

She got up and subconsciously replied, but soon she realized that she was the only one in the empty bedroom.Sitting on the bed, she was silent for a while, then turned her head and said to the air, "I know, you don't need to say it."

However, no one responded to her.

The little girl walked to the bathroom door as usual, and took off the few clothes she had on her body.After opening the bathroom door and turning on the light, it suddenly occurred to her that no one had put hot water in advance for her this time.

Feeling a little cold on her body, the little girl hesitated for a moment before giving up her plan to go back and put on a dress.

Putting on non-slip slippers, I adjusted the bathroom instructions several times according to my memory, and finally adjusted the water temperature to a slightly hot level - but compared with before, it still makes people feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after frowning for a while, she slowly got used to the water temperature.

Moving the plastic stool over, holding the shower gel in one hand and the bath towel in the other, looking at the shampoo in front of him, he hesitated for a while, not knowing which step to take first.

"Do you want mom to wash it for you?"

"Need not!"

The little girl reflexively turned her head to look behind her, and then looked again at the few toiletries in front of her.Recalling bits and pieces of the past in my mind.

Although the feeling is very vague, relying on the sense of touch at that time, I roughly sorted out the most likely order.

"I will come by myself, and in the future, I will come by myself."

......

blink of an eye.

A week passed.

The little girl slowly adapted to the daily life without Kallen, only occasionally having the hallucination that 'she was here all the time'.And I didn't sleep very well, and I often woke up halfway through my sleep for no reason.

No nightmares, no unexpected awakenings.

Simply can't sleep.
