The Cyanided Heart

"Dr. Gray, why are you idle?" Clems breathed out, "That child named Leia is such a headache, you actually want to adopt her?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Loggers took good care of me before." Gray crossed his arms, "Besides, I have always wanted a daughter, but because I am too busy with work, I haven't even met the woman I like..."

"I said this kind of thing...you should think about it." Clems patted Gray's shoulder. "Also, why don't you just say that it's not good to be single? It's tiring to beat around the bush."

"Well. Anyway... I will take good care of her." Gray adjusted his glasses.

"Really? It's really exciting, hahahaha." Clems laughed loudly.

...

The wipers swiped tirelessly.Gray turned the steering wheel and caught a glimpse of Leia in the passenger seat out of the corner of his eye.She just turned her head sideways, silently watching the rainwater flowing down from the glass.Distant and muffled thunder could be faintly heard outside the car window.

"It's coming soon."

"..."

Leia turned her eyes back and looked forward - among the surrounding trees, a villa appeared in front of her eyes.The car stopped at the door, Gray fumbled in his pocket, and Leia heard the characteristic crisp click of keys.

Will this be my new home?Leia held a big black umbrella and silently looked at Gray who opened the door.

The warm lights are on, and the interior layout is also unobstructed.A plaid tablecloth is spread on a wooden table not far away, fruits are placed in woven baskets, and the sofa beside it looks very comfortable.Surprise covered Leia's clouded face.

"Uncle...does uncle live in such a place alone..."

"Yes." Gray closed the door casually, "Son, if you live with me, I will be very happy."

"Then...will I still be sent to the orphanage?"

This guy is really sharp, but it's only natural that something like that happened.Gray smiled: "Silly boy, don't think about those useless things. Although I feel sorry for your parents, I hope you can continue your normal life, okay?"

"……Um."

It's good being a parent, too, Gray thought.At least... there is a little guy to miss while running around.If it is more specific, it is probably that the cookbook I bought can finally come in handy.If you ask yourself how good your craft is, your brain will definitely flatter you first, and if you share it with your children, it is a kind of happiness no matter whether you praise it or dislike it.

"The bathroom is upstairs." Gray looked at Leia. "Well... your clothes are kind of troublesome. Well, I'll find you a set of mine, although the size may be a lot bigger. We'll go buy new ones tomorrow. of."

"…Um."

"Sit down first. If you're hungry, there are biscuits on the table." Gray hung his white coat on the hanger beside him, "I'll go upstairs to get the clothes."

Leia sat primly on the sofa.As Gray said, there were quite a few biscuits on the table in baskets.Leia took a piece carefully.

A touch of sweetness. Speaking of which, my mother has never made biscuits for herself.Are these all done by Dr. Gray?So amazing, Leia couldn't help but blush.

"Leia, the clothes are in the bathroom." Gray called from upstairs, "Go take a shower when you're ready."

"Okay...Okay!" Leia hurriedly stuffed the remaining biscuits into her mouth, and replied vaguely.

...

"I cleaned it yesterday." Gray pointed to the door in front of him, "This is your bedroom, go and have a look."

Leia nodded and pushed the door open.The light blue curtains reveal the dim light mixed with the sound of rain outside the window. There is a small bed and a small desk in the room. A lot of hardcover books are neatly placed in the bookcase beside it. A furry Thai girl is sitting on the bed dick bear.

"We can come back with more decorations if you want." Gray patted Leia on the shoulder. "have a good dream."

Leia stared out the window with her teddy bear in her arms.Rainwater trickled down the glass, leaving staggered water marks.

The sound of rain overlaps with reality.Leia raised her head suddenly, and the dim inspection lights outside the window reflected her side face.Looking at the messy documents piled on the table, she fell silent.

…Why are you dreaming about these things all of a sudden?It really sucks.

...

Then do your best to get out of here, can you?

The cold air poured into Amy's nasal cavity, and she breathed greedily, trying to clear her mind.This is the last sentence that person left for himself.

Calm down, calm down, if it takes two hours, you have to move faster.Amy covered her trembling chest and looked around.I'm scared, but in order to meet Kate and the others, I must leave here.Amy made up her mind.

There was an old metal cabinet next to the bed.Amy inspected its three drawers and found that only the first drawer would open.The dust in the air dissipated, and what Amy saw was a dilapidated notebook.

Amy carefully opened the first page, and there was a line of delicate handwriting on it——

"I want to know your answer"

Uh... what do you mean?Amy frowned.Then I turned it back, but the paper behind it was blank.

...

The doorbell rang, and Leia trotted to the door and unlocked it.The one at the door is my tutor, Ms. Michelle.Although she is approaching middle-aged and old age, her makeup without losing her temperament is also very suitable.

Leia admits she's not bright.But even if she often makes some mistakes, she will not attract Ms. Michelle's blame.She was such a knowledgeable and patient person, and Leia expressed that she would love to spend time with her.

"Good morning, Leia." Michelle smiled.

"Good morning! Ms. Michelle."

Speaking of which, Gray hired a tutor for himself throughout the process.According to him, one is that Leia is not at ease at school, and the other is that he is busy with work and has no time to pick him up.Probably more of the latter, Leia frowned.Gray also said he wished he could make more friends, so he arranged for him some volunteer work at an orphanage.

"Leia, do you have any other plans for today? Look at your eagerness."

"Yes, I'm going to do volunteer work in the afternoon!" Leia tilted her head, "Although I'm a little tired, but ah...I'm very happy to meet a lot of friends!"

"Of course, whether you read extracurricular books or serious books, you will gain something." Michelle rubbed Leia's short hair, "Today we will continue yesterday's arithmetic lesson."

"Ok!"

...

"See you tomorrow!"

Leia waved goodbye to Michelle, the sun was shining brightly.After watching Michelle leave the garden, Leia closed the door.

Ah, I'm going to prepare for volunteer work, what kind of friends will I meet there?Although Leia was a little nervous, she was more excited.
