Toby was the first to scream, "Ms. Crystal, is that true? "
Crystal smiled, "Of course, you are willing to come with me to this dangerous place. Of course, I have treated you as my family."
Douglas didn't finish his words or scream, but his lips trembled, which had betrayed his excitement.
Douglas had never had a brother or sister. In his eyes, the two words "family" were very strange, but it didn't mean that Douglas didn't want to have them. Every new year, he would always be free and unrestrained in the bar with a group of old men who had no family, but that was not what Douglas wanted. He really hoped that during the New Year's Eve, he could have a family dinner together.
However, these were always extravagant hopes. Now someone wanted to be his brother and sister, which meant that Douglas had a family. During the Spring Festival, Douglas could call his sister seriously to send his blessings, and he didn't need to be teased by his family anymore.
Splendid!
And so did Toby. However, when it came to the matter of being brother and sister with Crystal, he was more inclined to silently stay behind Crystal and watch her being happy.
"What? You don't want to do that?"
Crystal interrupted Douglas's and Toby's thoughts.
"No, I do!" Douglas said calmly.
"I'm willing to, too. I've always wanted to have a sister, but my mother failed. It's a pity that she didn't give me a sister when she remarried. Toby said to Crystal.
Toby had a poor family background. His parents divorced when he was very young, and his mother remarried less than a year ago. It was said that he died in a car accident.
After his mother left, his father always drank too much. In the end, he had an accident because of alcohol. He grew up with his grandmother. But his grandmother got uremia when he was five years old and couldn't raise Toby, so she had to send him to an orphanage.
The director of the orphanage told Toby that when he came back to his hometown, his grandmother had already died.
Toby withdrew his thoughts and looked at Douglas. They
en will we arrive?"
Sweat dripped from Lord Albert's forehead. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it off. Then he turned to Crystal and said, "No hurry. Let's go inside."
Crystal frowned and asked, "Grandfather, have you forgotten where the Empire is?"
Lord Albert turned to knock on Crystal's shoulder and said, "Have you forgotten? Do you think your grandfather has Alzheimer's disease?"
Crystal rubbed her chin and thought for a while. Then she said, "It's possible. After all, you are old."
Crack!
A crack appeared on Lord Albert's smiling face.
"What did you say? Senile dementia? How dare you! You You!"
Lord Albert stretched out his hand to tweak Crystal's ear and was about to teach her a lesson, but he didn't expect that Crystal would react quickly. When Lord Albert stretched out his hand, she quickly ran to the back of the evil man, tilted her head and smiled, "I If Grandpa hadn't suffered from Alzheimer's disease, how couldn't you remember where your hometown, the Empire was? We have been walking in the desert for a long time, but we haven't seen the trace of the Empire. You must have forgotten it."
Lord Albert pointed at himself and then at Crystal. "I I..."
Lord Albert really didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't tell Crystal that the Empire would appear when you were most desperate. Who would believe such an explanation?
