Dress up as Dior sister and awaken your substitute at the beginning

Wen Qing's deliberately lowered voice came from outside the door.

"Master Dio, those things are ready."

Dio glanced at the sleeping Mia and walked out of the room.

Seeing Dio, Wen Qing and Goudan, who were waiting outside the door, bent down and saluted.

Dio asked Goudan to go to the room and look at Mia, and gave several instructions on how to take care of Mia.

Goudan agreed seriously, walked into the room, and closed the door.

Dio and Wen Qing went to Wen Qing's room.

In the room, Spittwagan and Johnny were sitting on chairs with worried faces.

Spitwagen stood up: "Dior, is what Wen Qing said true?"

Dior rubbed his temples: "Not sure, but Mia's behavior is indeed not normal."

Johnny whispered: "Did you feel that Mia's battle was too bloody and it hurt..."

After the words fell, everyone's expressions were not very good.

Dio clicked his tongue: "Wen Qing, where are the sick animals? Take them out."

"Master Dio, the animals are in cages, that's all." There were three cages covered with black cloth on the ground. Wen Qing walked over and lifted the black cloth.

There were dogs, cats, and parrots in the cages. They were emaciated, listless, and had lost most of their fur.

Especially the parrot, which almost lost all its feathers, like a bald chicken.

Wen Qing explained: "The parrot plucks its hair by itself, which is very similar to the reason why Mia-sama loses her hair."

Dio walked over and looked at the listless animals inside: "What will happen to them in the end?"

Wen Qing murmured and replied: "If the disease is cured, it will naturally return to health. If it never recovers... some will remain as they are now, and some will be picked up by angels."

Dio didn't reply. The emotion in his eyes was dark and unclear, as if he was looking at something through a sick animal.

Spitwagen took out his pipe, hesitated for a moment, then put it back in his pocket: "Do you want to tell Mia about this?"

Dio sighed: "No."

Johnny was walking around in circles: "We have to do something quickly!"

Wen Qing shook his head slightly: "There is currently no effective treatment plan for this disease. Nowadays, patients are usually locked up and tried different treatment methods, including drugs, bloodletting, enemas, electric shock..."

Taking medicine sounds okay, but other feelings are not reliable, and Dio does not agree.

Everyone discussed Mia's illness for a long time, but nothing came out of the discussion. In the end, they could only decide to try to make Mia happy first.

Dior, in particular, was strictly prohibited from losing his temper at Mia, and Johnny clenched his casserole-sized fists as a warning.

After the discussion.

Dio hurried back to Mia's bedroom and sent Goudan away.

Mia was sleeping soundly with her handkerchief in her arms, smacking her lips from time to time, as if she dreamed of delicious food.

With the corner of his mouth curled up, Dio sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed her soft cheek.

Mia has always been optimistic, and Dio never expected that she would get this disease.

Whether it was fighting or living, Mia was cheerful, as if nothing could leave a scar on her heart.

In the fire in Ghoul Street, Mia suffered extremely severe burns. Later, in order to separate the melted clothes, most of her skin was removed...

Afterwards, Mia had no stress reaction to the flames and could cook and use the fireplace normally.

Dio took it for granted that she had gotten through it.

He also thought the same about many things later.

"Should I...should look at you more?"

With a daze in his eyes, Dio carefully got into the quilt and hugged Mia.

The bear is warm and exudes a nice soapy scent, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

Dio looked at Mia, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the days before his mother's death.

Mia thought her mother died of illness, but Dio felt it was more than that.

At that time, my mother was very ill. She was so thin that only her skin was left. She couldn't even get out of bed and walk.

But she would always sit up and look out the window.

Sometimes Dio shouted for a long time, but she remained motionless.

Dior knew that was the direction of his mother’s hometown.

In that place, she was still a noble aristocratic lady, and her biggest worry every day was what to wear to the next dance.

Mom probably regretted it.

Regret eloping with Dalio.

I regret giving birth to him.

I regret wasting my youth in endless work and housework.

In the end, Dio and Mia stole the money to buy medicine for their mother.

But my mother couldn't eat it...

Mia always felt that they came back too late and her mother was too weak to eat.

Dio sometimes thinks.

Even if they come back earlier, mother won't eat them.

"Dior?"

Mia opened her eyes drowsily and wiped the tears from Dio's face.

"What's wrong? Someone bullied you?"

Dio hugged Mia tightly: "No..."

"Are you ok?"

"..."

"Sing to you?"

"I am fine."

"But……"

"Eat chocolate?"

"Ok!"

Dio took a plate of milk chocolate, cut it into small pieces and fed it to Mia.

Mia's cheeks bulged from eating and she was humming an off-key song.

Dio gently touched Mia's head, feeling confused.

Depression.

This is Wen Qing’s diagnosis.

He had watched the light in his mother's eyes go out little by little.

He couldn't let Mia go down this road.

but……

What should he do?

"Dior!"

Mia finished eating the chocolate and wiped the chocolate chips from her mouth.

"Don't you have to work?"

"No need." Dio took a tissue and cleaned the chocolate from her mouth and paws.

"You haven't told me about the ant yet."

"Want to know?"

"Hmm..." Dio's eyes felt weird, and Mia felt a little uncomfortable.

Dio adjusted his expression so that he looked the same as usual: "The ants have been in Ghoul Street for several years. Before, they were just a half-dead small gang. Later, they suddenly became much stronger, and they crazily annexed the forces in Ghoul Street. Calculating the time, it’s probably not long after I returned from the Vampire Castle.”

"So, ants are related to vampires?"

"Sometimes, there will be some very strong guys among the members of the ants. The top hat has also touched several times. According to the description of the survivors, it looks like a zombie."

Mia collapsed on the bed: "Trouble... Why is everything related to the dark night?"

Even though the little bear was lying down, his belly was still round. Dio couldn't help but poke it: "Ghoul Street is a piece of fat. They want to use this to rebuild Britain's power."

With an itchy belly, Mia slapped Dio's fingers away: "Can we win this fight?"
