It seems that at eight o'clock, Godfather Anderson made an appointment for dinner with himself, saying that he wanted to discuss the management of refugees.

However, this is the first time Aponia invited herself after she became a priest, so...

After struggling for 0.001 second, Fu Li decided to release the pigeon once.

"Of course, sister Nia, I haven't tasted your craft for a long time."

"Well, then you should take a good rest today."

Aponia reached out to pick up the vegetables, and Fu Li took the opportunity to turn on the phone and found the contact information of Godfather Anderson.

From: Tonight's meeting has been postponed for 2 hours.

Anderson: Huh?What happened?

Li: It's nothing, just sister Nia invited me to dinner.

Anderson: ? ? ?You postponed the meal just because of one meal? ?

Li: Any comments?

Anderson: That's right, Father, I'm also your friend, and you're playing it a bit unfair.

Seeing the furious reply, Fu Li was a little speechless.

Some people have started to fight with themselves since they got acquainted, but Fu Li naturally knew that this kind of friendship was just a disguise.

If Anderson didn't have the bomb on his neck, he would have already thought of a way to send someone to assassinate him.

Never underestimate these people who stand firm in the dark.

Fu Li: Come on, it's just a private meeting, it's okay to be late.

Anderson: All right, all right, I see, I wish you a happy time with your little girlfriend, and you are always welcome.

Fu Li: She's not my girlfriend, okay?

Anderson: Ah yes yes yes.

Fu Li: She and I are just friends.

After emphasizing this point, Fu Li took back his mobile phone and quickly followed Aponia.

[You wanted to help in the kitchen, but Aponia forcefully kicked you out on the grounds that you were too tired and needed a good rest. ]

[When you were bored in every possible way, you wandered around the nursing home and secretly gave many children candy. ]

[At this moment, the old dean suddenly appeared and patted you on the shoulder. ]

"Hehe, long time no see, Xiaoli."

"Huh? Old Dean, long time no see."

After giving away the last piece of candy on his body, Fu Li turned around and looked at the old dean who suddenly appeared behind him.

The old dean of the nursing home is over 70 years old, with deep wrinkles on her face, but perhaps because of her out-of-character, she looks like an old urchin.

But as the biggest boss behind Twilight Street, Fu Li naturally knows some things that ordinary people don't.

For example, this kind old man in front of him, when he was young, he fought in underground casinos for more than ten years for the children in the nursing home.

It can be said that he is a truly kind and noble boxer.

but……

Fu Li narrowed his eyes, keenly aware that the old dean actually had other things to look for him.

"Ander, Arnia, good boy, you go play first, brother priest has something to discuss with the dean, next time I come here to bring you candy."

"Oh... well, brother priest, it's a deal."

"Well, that's for sure."

After sending a few children away, Fu Li shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that you have something you want to tell me, old dean?"

"Well, you're right, come with me."

The old dean didn't hide anything, nodded and walked upstairs.

And Fu Li also did not hesitate, and followed the old dean, but he was inexplicably nervous.

Is there something wrong with this nervous feeling like going to meet the woman's parents?

Chapter 44 Heaven

thump.

The old wooden door was slammed shut, the old dean sat on the chair, and stretched out his hand to signal Fu Li to come to the opposite side.

"Xiao Li, the nearest underground force seems to be a bit uneasy."

A cup of hot tea was pushed in front of Fu Li, the old dean said as if pointing.

"It's okay, Dean, the recent actions are indeed a bit big, but please rest assured, everything will subside soon."

After receiving the hot tea, Fu Li blew lightly, not surprised that the old dean knew about it.

After more than ten years of black boxing, the dean naturally has his own connections.

Regarding Fu Li's frankness, the old dean curled his lips, obviously very satisfied with this answer.

"Xiao Li, I don't have any other intentions in asking you here, but I want you to see something."

With that said, the old dean opened the drawer and pushed a medical record in front of Fu Li.

"This is..." Fu Li was taken aback for a moment, then he took over the medical records, feeling a little uneasy.

Looking through the medical records, he was a little startled by the diseases listed above.

Putting aside common diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and arteriosclerosis, Fu Li looked down.

Brain nerve tumor, a disease that was also terminally ill in the last period of pre-civilization.

Unless the gene fusion surgery of a Honkai beast like Shesha is performed.

But not to mention that Shesha has not come out at this point in time, the level of genetic rejection alone is enough to kill the old man.

"Old dean, this..."

Fu Li raised his head and wanted to say something, but the old dean raised his hand to block him.

"Li, I know you are rich now, but there are some diseases that cannot be cured with money. You know what I am most concerned about."

"Li, I watched you and Xiaonia grow up, and I also know that you have people secretly protecting the people in the nursing home."

"The doctor said, I'm only four months old. I have no children in my life. The children in the nursing home are my children, especially Aponia, she is the best one among them."

"So, after I leave, I will hand over the nursing home to Aponia, but she is still young and doesn't know how to communicate with the outside world, so I ask you to take good care of her."

At the end, the old dean took a deep breath, his eyes were a little red.

Seeing that the old dean already had the will to die, Fu Li was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I will protect the nursing home and Alponia, dean."

"Do you want to tell Sister Nia about this?"

"No, I'm an old woman. There's no need to make her feel uncomfortable. Just let me rest for a while."

"ok, I get it."

The tea was already cold, Fu Li drank it in one gulp.

He didn't tell the old dean about Alponia's special ability.

However, when he opened the door and looked into those tired beautiful eyes for an instant, his footsteps froze for a moment.

But in the next second, his actions resumed as before, and he closed the door as if nothing had happened.

Alponia didn't speak, but walked in front silently, and the two of them agreed tacitly without opening their mouths.

It was not until they returned to the somewhat old cafeteria and faced the children that they smiled again.

It's just that even Aponia, in the past, there was a moment of stiffness in the smile from the heart.

Under the good-looking appearance, there is a gloomy, desperate and lifeless soul hidden.

Is there any way to hide from a girl who can feel destiny?

The answer is: that girl makes you think that you can hide it.

[After that day, you lived as usual. ]

[You sent more storybooks, textbooks and exercise books to Aponia, so that the children can experience the joy of learning while having fun. ]

[As usual, Aponia took the children with her, and didn't seem to have any intention of interfering with the fate of the old dean. ]

[The peaceful days were broken one day four months later. ]

[It was a dark rainy night when Alponia knocked on the church door. ]

"Aponia? What's the matter with you?"

Seeing someone coming, Fu Li hurriedly welcomed her in, and took a long black trench coat and draped it over her body.

However, Aponia just sat there, her body trembling slightly, her eyes dull, and her hands firmly grasping the windbreaker draped over her shoulders.

It was as if that windbreaker was her last life-saving straw, even though it had been scratched by her slender fingers, she did not want to let go.

Fu Li also seemed to have guessed something, leaned on the chair next to him, stretched out his hand, and lightly clasped Aponia's hand, silently encouraging.

"The old dean, she just left this world, and the children don't know."

After a long time, a hoarse and crying voice came.

This is the first time for Aponia to watch the death of an important person, and it is also the first time to discover that she is so powerless to change the established destiny.

"It's not your fault. I'll let Vera take care of the child. You should change into clean clothes now and have a good rest."

Seeing Aponiya's haggard appearance, Fu Li comforted softly.

In the first few simulations, he met Alponia for the first time when he came forward to save Alponia after an accident in the nursing home.

Therefore, it was also the first time he knew that Alponia had such a past and such a fragile side.

The golden, wet head leaned on Fu Li's shoulder, Fu Li didn't feel disgusted, stretched out his hand, and carefully removed the wet hair from Aponia's forehead.

"With me here, Sister Nia, you have not lost someone you can rely on."

Alponia didn't speak, but just gently closed her eyes, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

…………

The next day, in the church.

According to the will of the old man, his funeral was kept simple, so not many people participated in the funeral.

Apart from all the members of the nursing home, the only participants were people from the church and a few old friends of the dean.

One of them was also one of the former Twilight Street bigwigs, and it was he who revealed what Fu Li had done recently to the old dean.

It is not difficult to see from his sad expression that he has other emotions for the old dean, but for some reason, he has not said it out.

"Life blooms like a flower, but also fades like a flower..."

"The thread of fate has already been arranged by the invisible hand, leading us through birth and death until it returns to the soil."

"You are a kind mother with noble qualities. Your children are favored by you, and everything about you will be remembered and passed down by them."

"Life decays with time, but your spirit remains immortal."

"I, Li, may Ms. Doris ascend to a heaven where there will be no pain, where there will be no sickness and no hunger."

"May your soul live forever in the kingdom of the Lord, Amen."

Chapter 45 Honkai disease

[You held the funeral for the old dean, and after her burial, Aponia took over the duties of the nursing home. ]

[The next four months later, you heard from Father Anderson that there was a massive catastrophe in several other places and a new type of epidemic. ]

[You know, Anderson was talking about the Honkai disease, but there's nothing you can do about it. ]

[Even after several simulations, you and Mebius still haven't found a solution to the Honkai disease other than becoming a fusion fighter or being born with high adaptability. ]
