"Are you okay?" Kevin asked softly, and carefully handed the cup of steaming water in his hand to the wizard lady.

Oh, I almost forgot, now there is no need to call her Miss Wizard. Just now, Kevin had politely asked her name - Patricia.

"Thank you, sir." Although she expressed her gratitude, Patricia looked a little dazed, and it was obvious that she had not yet fully recovered from the series of events that had just happened. Her beautiful and deep eyes seemed to have lost their focus at this moment, staring blankly ahead. Even the glass of water that Kevin held high in front of her did not seem to attract enough attention from her. It was not until she was stunned for a while that she realized that she should take the glass of water.

At this moment, Patricia is in Jose Baden's warm and comfortable home. After all, there is no other place more suitable for Patricia to be alone for a while.

Recalling the performance that was originally arranged casually to pass the time, Jose Badem could not help but feel stunned and surprised. Who could have expected that such a seemingly ordinary performance would cause such an uproar?

However, facing this sudden change, Jose Baden did not have the slightest intention of blaming Patricia, because he knew very well that among all the people present at the time, the most innocent and blameless person was Patricia herself.

Patricia blew gently on the hot water in the cup and took a sip. The warm feeling gradually spread throughout her body and her thoughts gradually became clearer.

"I'm much better, thank you." She raised her head and looked at Kevin and Jose Badem with gratitude.

"So where are you going next?" Jose Badem looked at Patricia with concern and asked softly.

After all, after experiencing such things, Patricia obviously could no longer live here peacefully.

Although Jose Badem and Kevin tried their best to protect her for a while, it was ultimately difficult for them to protect her for the rest of her life.

You know, those endless rumors and insults are like a surging tide, which will definitely drown her completely.

Faced with this cruel reality, Patricia couldn't help feeling at a loss, muttering to herself: "I don't know either..." At this moment, she seemed to be lost in the vast crowd, completely unable to find the direction to move forward, let alone where she could go.

At this moment, Kevin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Maybe I have a good idea." He paused for a moment, and then said to Patricia solemnly, "You should go home, Patricia."

"But... do I still have a home?" Patricia herself wasn't sure if she could still find a place to return to. Could she still find a place that could be called home?

"Of course." Kevin patted his chest and assured, "Just trust me, I will find a way for you."

"Oh, just believe him." Jose Badem also laughed and joked, "He will definitely find a way."

.........................................................

This was indeed an easy thing for Kevin and Jose Badem because one of them had connections and the other had money.

To be precise, Kevin only needed to write a letter to Angelina in North America and explain the situation to her, and then Jose Baden could arrange a ship ticket for Patricia to go to North America. (In fact, all he needed to do was to let the merchant ship under Jose Baden take Patricia there.)

.................................................. .....

"Are you sure? I... I really don't know what to do! I... I don't have any confidence in myself." Patricia bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of confusion and anxiety. She really couldn't be sure whether she should go to faraway North America.

The things that happened in the past kept flashing in her mind like scenes from a movie. Every detail was so clear that it frightened her. She was worried that once she got there, people would still not accept her father, who was of Caucasian descent. This worry weighed on her like a heavy yoke, making her breathless.

"Don't worry, dear Patricia, everything will be fine." Kevin patted Patricia's shoulder gently and comforted her softly, "Believe me, Angelina and the others are very kind and friendly people. They will definitely understand your situation and feelings."

Jose Baden also nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Kevin's statement. He knew that this journey was of great significance to Patricia, but it was also a huge challenge.

Moreover, there is another important factor that makes everyone believe that Patricia can gain the recognition of North American Indians - that is Kevin's hat that is now firmly worn on her head.

I don't know about other Indian tribes, but the Cherokees will definitely accept Patricia.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing." Jose Baden took out something and said, "I asked someone to find this for you. This is your mother's, isn't it?"

It was a very crude monkey head, made for Patricia by her mother.

“…Thank you.” After a long silence, Patricia opened her lips and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Why do you want to help me?” Her beautiful eyes flashed with doubt and confusion, as if she was trying to find the truth behind it.

For a complete stranger, he actually tried his best and used all his relationships to help her... This was really unbelievable for Patricia. After all, in the life she had experienced, not everything was full of kindness and beauty. The complexity of human nature made her always have a little vigilance towards the motives of others.

However, facing Patricia's question, Kevin seemed unusually calm. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Actually, I don't know the specific reason. But I firmly believe that sometimes just a moment of kindness can completely change a person's life trajectory." This sentence was not only said to Patricia, but also expressed his true feelings deep in his heart.

Thinking back to his past, Kevin couldn't help but feel deeply moved. If it weren't for Norton's momentary kindness, perhaps he would still not be able to meet Angelina again. It was that inadvertent warmth that became the key link connecting their destiny.

Now, when Kevin saw Patricia, who was confused and helpless, he chose without hesitation to pass on this kind idea.

Perhaps this is an invisible force - it can cross the boundaries of time and space and quietly come when people need it most; it does not need fancy words to be embellished, but only a sincere heart can shine brightly. At this moment, Kevin is interpreting the great significance of this force with practical actions.

.................................................

"Goodbye, and good luck to you." Kevin stood at the harbor, watching the ship that Patricia was on sail away into the distance.

"So...what are we going to do next?"

The people have been sent away, and what will happen to Patricia next? But Kevin believes that he can live well there. After all, Angelina is a good girl, and Patricia is also a good girl, isn't she?

"Come with me somewhere... After all, I went somewhere with you, and you go somewhere with me, it's only fair, isn't it?"

Kevin boarded Jose Baden's slightly old but dignified carriage with a swift movement. With the creaking sound of the wheels, they embarked on this unknown journey together.

Kevin, sitting in the spacious carriage, could not help but look at the empty left sleeve of Jose Baden beside him. He felt pity and could not help asking, "Speaking of which, you are really unfortunate! You lost an arm at such a young age. What kind of accident led to this result?" His words revealed his concern and curiosity about the experience of this new friend.

In response to Kevin's question, a trace of sadness flashed across Jose Baden's weather-beaten face, but he quickly regained his composure. He slowly raised his head and stared into the distance, as if his thoughts had drifted back to the past that he could not bear to look back on.

After a moment's silence, he narrated in a low and hoarse voice: "In fact, there was nothing particularly thrilling. I was sailing on the vast ocean at that time, and suddenly a strong wind blew up, causing huge waves. However, misfortunes never come alone. At this moment, a group of vicious pirates attacked like ghosts, trying to plunder the property on our ship. A fierce battle is inevitable..." At this point, Jose Badem paused slightly, as if he found it difficult to let go of the bloody scene in the life-and-death struggle.

After taking a deep breath, he continued, "Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, an extremely huge wave suddenly rushed towards us. In an instant, the sky was dark and the whole world was submerged in the surging waves. When I woke up from my coma, I was horrified to find that my left arm was missing........."

At the end, José Badem still narrated the incident in a playful manner, as if he was just telling a story from a book rather than a real thing that happened to him.

After all, things have already happened, and no matter how scared you are, it won't change. You might as well try to live each day to the fullest.

"Okay, so where are you going next?" Since Jose Baden himself doesn't care about this kind of thing, why should Kevin worry about it? He should care more about where the carriage should go next?

"I can tell you, but then..."

............................................................

"Knock knock knock--" Kevin knocked on the watchmaker's door.

This was the condition on which José Baden told Kevin what had happened. He asked Caimen to knock on the door for him, and he did not want to get out of the carriage again.

But what neither Kevin nor Jose Badem expected was that the person who answered the door was a little girl.

"Good afternoon, sir. Do you have a pocket watch that needs repairing?"

"Uh............." Kevin didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, Mark Reznik came out not long after.

.................................................. ..

"Oh, come on, sir, please try it!" Mark Reznik's lovely little daughter Tracy jumped like a lively little rabbit, and happily took out Jose Badem's repaired prosthesis and presented it to him.

Jose Badem received the prosthesis with gratitude and expectation, and carefully installed it on his missing limb. When he finished the assembly and began to try to move, he showed an expression of astonishment that he could not hide - the damaged prosthesis was miraculously restored to its original state!

Phew… He couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, secretly rejoicing in his heart: Thank God! Although his right hand was still very dexterous, losing an arm did bring many inconveniences in daily life. However, at this moment, this trouble seemed to be about to disappear.

Not only that, José Badem continued to play with his new prosthesis curiously. He shook his arm repeatedly, feeling the subtle changes brought about by each movement; then, he slowly opened his palm, then quickly closed it, and repeated this several times. Surprisingly, this prosthesis showed unimaginable flexibility, as if it had become a part of the body, perfectly integrated with itself.

"Oh, of course, sir! You see, I spent a lot of time on this prosthesis! After careful improvement, it not only has better performance, but also looks more fashionable and cool. Speaking of which... @/6:-7(v$|78(《&$*_......." Tracy said while gesturing at the prosthesis in his hand, his face filled with pride and excitement. However, the words he said next were like a mystery, leaving Jose Badem and Kevin beside him confused and unable to understand what he was saying.

Although the two tried hard to understand Tracy's meaning, those strange symbols, numbers and professional terms were like an insurmountable gap in front of them.

Eventually, José Badem had to give up trying to decipher the obscure words and focus his attention elsewhere.

However, through this communication, Jose Badem confirmed one thing with certainty - that is, Lucas and Tracy must have many common topics.

After all, from the brief contact just now, it seems that these two people have a strong interest in and in-depth research in the field of mechanical manufacturing. Perhaps it is because of this that they can appreciate and inspire each other?

Thinking of this, Jose Badem couldn't help but smile, secretly looking forward to seeing more wonderful results of their cooperation in the future.
