Operation Red Book

Tears immediately rushed out of Ivy's eyes and rushed towards her "big beard".

"Christine..."

"Ivy!"

The sky blue hair ran towards Ivy quickly, and the champagne-colored curls swung in the air, as passionate as a spring.

Ivy opened her arms and caught Christine steadily. The two girls hugged each other tightly, like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

"You finally woke up, Ivy! I haven't seen you for a long time! For a long, long time!"

"How are you? Are you okay? Have you found out what caused your illness? Will you faint again in the future? Do you need my help..."

"I……"

Christine held Ivy and rocked her back and forth while crying. Questions bombarded her ears like a cannon and Ivy couldn't get a word in.

"Are you in pain? Are you hungry? Do you want some tea... wuwuwu..."

"Okay, okay, you two siblings are really alike."

Taking advantage of the moment when Christine took a breath, Ivy took the opportunity to cover her chattering mouth.

She took Christine's hand and led her to Joshua, who was standing quietly by.

"This is Joshua, he..."

"He is the elder brother of your reconstructed family. He and Mrs. Hudson took care of you during the time you were in a coma."

"How do you know?" Ivy asked in astonishment.

"Because I have been to your place, you know, after my parents fell asleep, I climbed over the wall secretly..."

"Oh, Christine, you are so nice!" Ivy said in surprise and joy.

Then he changed his tone: "Joshua! Why didn't you tell me!"

"Who knows if she's a liar or not? You two are best friends after only knowing each other for two hours. How is that possible?"

Joshua said in a hurry, with a hint of jealousy in his words.

"Besides, when she came, she was wearing a black cloak and was sneaking around. It was obvious that she was not a good person... Sure enough, one day she left and never came back..."

"That's because my mother found out. Please, I was grounded for a whole week. When I sneaked over again, 221-B Baker Street had already been blocked by the police."

"Alright alright! You two!"

The atmosphere began to become extremely tense. Joshua and Kristen seemed to be at odds with each other, which was not what Ivy had expected.

In any case, this is something that can be resolved later. The dinner has been going on for some time and the next planning process is very urgent.

"Christine..."

Ivy grabbed Kristen's soft hands and coaxed.

"Thank you for your kindness and care. I am really happy to see you again. If I have the chance, I will definitely thank you for your support!"

"It's okay, Ivy!"

"But now, I have to go and have a good talk with Mrs. Emerson. We can talk about our business later, okay?"

"Of course, oh! Oh...are you going to Mrs. Emerson's room dressed like this?"

Christine suddenly raised her tone. She glanced up and down at Ivy's makeup, and inevitably there was a hint of pity and embarrassment in her eyes.

"hold head high……"

Christine pondered for a long time and said, "Well...how about this!"

"Mrs. Emerson will return to her room to rest after receiving the guests in the reception room. You can ambush on the second floor first. The second room on the right side of the corridor is a locker. In about ten minutes, I will send someone to deliver your dress to you. This way, we won't cause too much commotion."

Christine raised a finger and spoke confidently and fluently about the impromptu response plan. Her analysis was so logical that Joshua and Ivy were stunned...

"Great! I owe you another favor, lovely Miss Wisdom!"

Ivy's face suddenly lit up. She gave Christine a warm hug and gave Ben a saliva-covered kiss.

After saying goodbye to Joshua, she lifted the belt under her "big belly" and disappeared around the corner of the corridor, twisting and turning.

The two watched Ivy go away, and the atmosphere became cold and ruthless again.

"Would you mind helping me take Xiaoben back?"

Christine said to Joshua, she smiled gently, took little Ben's hand and walked into the noisy dance floor.

The dance floor was packed with aristocrats in suits and ties, but there were a lot of rare empty spaces around the edges.

Christine walked in front with small steps, her posture elegant and her steps graceful, showing the demeanor of an aristocratic family.

Joshua frowned and followed Christine closely, always keeping a step away from her.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" Joshua asked coldly.

"You smashed that mirror in Ivy's bedroom."

Joshua paused, and from this moment on, he gradually heard the "thump thump" sound of his heart beating violently.

"You must be dreaming."

"I'm sure I'm not."

Kristen stopped, turned around and approached Joshua.

She deliberately lowered her voice and spoke slowly so that only the two of them could hear.

"That night, I hid in the big acacia wood wardrobe next to Ivy's bed and saw the monster in the mirror with my own eyes."

"I don't know whether it's the mirror's problem or your problem, but either way, something must have happened to you."

"So, Mr. Joshua, for Ivy's safety, please stay here and tell me everything that happened."
