What! Our family is actually the descendant of the evil god?.

The next day, Hela, wearing a beautiful little dress, sat on the steps with a depressed look on her face.

When Mrs. Maria saw little Hela's appearance, she said with a little doting in her tone:

"What happened to my lovely little angel today?"

"Why do you look so unhappy?"

Little Hela pursed her lips and said with a tone full of grievance:

"He said he would come over to celebrate my birthday with me today..."

Maria naturally knew who the "he" that little Hela was referring to, but precisely because she knew it, she fell silent after hearing little Hela's aggrieved words.

Mrs. Maria reached out and took little Hela's petite body into her arms, sighed softly, and looked a little gloomy.

Little Hela buried her face in Mrs. Maria's arms and said in a tender voice with a hint of tears:

"Grandma Dean, did I do something wrong to make him unhappy?"

Otherwise, why didn't he come for two days in a row? He even missed his birthday, which he had promised to do.

Little Hela was very smart. She had realized a few days ago that Mr. Vadim wanted to adopt her.

She is actually willing to do this and is very much looking forward to that day.

In fact, in the past few days, whenever she thought that she would soon have a father, a sweet smile would unconsciously appear on her face.

But now, it seems that things are not developing as she expected.

Am I being abandoned again?

Thinking of this, little Hela could no longer control her emotions. She buried her face in Mrs. Maria's arms and sobbed softly.

Looking down at Hela's trembling shoulders, Mrs. Maria patted Hela's back and comforted her softly:

"My dear, you did nothing wrong!"

"Then why hasn't he come these past two days? He clearly promised to come."

Little Hela raised her tearful face and looked at Mrs. Maria with a wronged look.

Mrs. Maria was silent and hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell little Hela the truth.

Yesterday afternoon, she heard from another gentleman who often came to the welfare home to help that Mr. Vadim had died while fighting a fire.

When she first heard the news, Mrs. Maria thought the gentleman was joking, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that no one would make such a joke.

However, out of concern for Mr. Vadim, Mrs. Maria still asked the gentleman about the details of the matter.

After hearing her question, the gentleman told her the whole process as he knew it with a somewhat sad expression.

After listening to this gentleman's story, Mrs. Maria couldn't help but feel a little sad.

During this period of time, Mr. Vadim came to the welfare home to help whenever he had time, and over time, the two became familiar with each other.

She also knew what Mr. Vadim thought of little Hela, and she was very happy about it, and was happy that little Hela could find a good father.

But why did things suddenly turn out like this? Why did that kind gentleman...

Yesterday she had thought about telling little Hela about this, but she really didn't want to see little Hela's sad look after hearing the news.

At least, let her have a happy birthday tomorrow.

But now, little Hela seemed to mistakenly think that she was abandoned again.

Mrs. Maria knew she could no longer hide it.

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "My dear, Mr. Vadim...he went to a very far place and will never come back."

After hearing this, little Hela was stunned. She was very smart, so she quickly understood the hidden meaning in Mrs. Maria's words.

That's why she felt this matter was a bit absurd.

Suddenly, little Hela screamed and retorted loudly:

"No! This is impossible, Dean, you must be lying to me, right? You must be lying to me, right..."

Seeing the hopeful and pleading eyes in front of her, Mrs. Maria held little Hela tightly in her arms with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice:

"He was a brave hero who sacrificed himself trying to put out the terrible fire the night before."

Little Hela burst into tears and cried, "No, no, he promised to spend my birthday with me."

Mrs. Maria hugged little Hela tightly in her arms and said softly:

"My poor child, he did not deceive you, but fate was very cruel."

"But you have to know that Mr. Vadim will be watching over you in heaven."

Little Hela didn't say anything else, but just threw herself into Mrs. Maria's big arms and cried loudly.

When the other children in the welfare home heard the noise, they also ran over.

Although they didn't know why, seeing little Hela crying so sadly, they somehow started crying too.

For a moment, the entire orphanage was crying.

After a long time, little Hela raised her head from Mrs. Maria's arms and said with a choked voice:

"Grandma Dean, I want to go see Mr. Vadim!"

Mrs. Maria nodded slightly and said softly, "Okay! I'll take you there."

……

In the side hall of Johnton Cathedral, when Father Aligado saw that all the relatives and friends of the deceased had arrived, he looked up at the wall clock hanging on the wall of the side hall.

Seeing that there were still five minutes left, Father Aligado withdrew his gaze and stood there silently waiting.

Just at this moment, footsteps were suddenly heard at the door of the side hall.

An elderly lady suddenly appeared at the gate, leading a group of children dressed in black.

This scene caused the people who were already sitting in their seats to look towards the door.

This also includes Mr. Vadim's mother, old lady Naomi.

The old lady, who already looked a little tired, had a hint of doubt in her eyes when she saw the child at the door.

Seeing this, the gentleman who often went to the welfare home with Mr. Vadim walked up to old lady Naomi, lowered his head and explained in a low voice.

After listening to the gentleman's explanation, old lady Naomi looked towards the group of children.

With just one glance, she saw little Hela with red and swollen eyes from crying.

After seeing little Hela, old lady Naomi's eyes softened instantly.

By the time Mrs. Maria and the children sat down, exactly five minutes had passed.

Seeing that the time had come, Father Aligato, who was standing next to the pulpit, rang the small bell placed on the pulpit.

As the bell rang throughout the hall, the faces of the gentlemen and ladies who had already taken their seats became solemn.

After seeing this scene, Father Aligado solemnly announced the start of the memorial service.

Upon hearing this, the ladies and gentlemen who came to attend the memorial service put their hands together in front of them, closed their eyes and began to pray silently together.

Father Aligado withdrew his gaze from those people, and said in a solemn, steady, and gentle tone:

“Let not your hearts be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me.”

"In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you."

“I go to prepare a place for you.”

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."

“Where I am going, you know; and you know the way.”

……

Two hours passed like this, and with Father Aligado's last words, the memorial service came to an end.

After the memorial service, old lady Naomi came to little Hela. Looking at the little girl who was still twitching, she reached out and rubbed little Hela's head, and said softly in a kind tone:

"Good boy! Stop crying."

Little Hela looked up at the old lady in front of her and said timidly:

"grandmother!"

When she heard this name, old lady Naomi's eyes were dazed for a moment, but she soon came to her senses and responded several times with a loving face.

Eros, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
