[Comprehensive British and American dramas] No.1 is called non-plural

Isaac really wanted to nod and tell her that none of this was true, but, as someone who had witnessed Mrs. Jully's body, he couldn't fool himself.

"Emma..." He could only pat Emma on the back lightly again, "I'm sorry."

There was despair and sadness in Emma's eyes, and the crying sounded again.

This period of time was a nightmare for her. First, she was caught off guard by a flu attack, so she had to let the private detective who was introduced come to Baltimore alone to find out the news. While recovering, Hugh returned with someone who claimed to be her grandmother.

Also brought back another bad news.

Emma instinctively didn't want to believe it.Obviously, they were on vacation together before, discussing future plans together, and thought that it was a beautiful dream that could definitely be realized.As a result, in less than half a month, everything disappeared.

"I can't let a child like you claim your own mother's body," Hugh explained. "It's too cruel, so I went to May. I think you need your loved ones at this time."

Emma has grown up so much, and she has never heard that there are other relatives in her family, and this person is her mother's mother, which makes her feel a little unacceptable.She is no longer the ignorant child she was back then, so she can naturally see that May's living conditions are good.If this is really my mother's mother, how could my mother still take herself to persevere in such a down-and-out situation, instead of going home?

Emma felt that something she didn't know must have happened. The relationship between her mother and May was obviously not a normal mother-daughter relationship.

Like Emma's suspicion of May, May is not so satisfied with the existence of this small oil bottle. May's hobbies are only shopping, and in between shopping, she has a boyfriend who still makes her feel young. No matter how famous Emma is, she doesn't know it.And Hugh, who came back with her all the way, didn't mention it at all.

In fact, Hugh felt a little regretful, thinking that he probably made a bad decision.

There was nothing wrong with finding a guardian for a motherless child, but his expectations were clearly off, and May did not seem like a qualified guardian.

For the next few days, he tried his best to get a good relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren, but with little success.

Emma did not see Mrs. Jully's body, so she refused to accept the news of Mrs. Jully's death, and did not welcome May's existence; May also seemed to be unhappy with Emma's attitude. In the name of respect, she dragged her to discuss how to deal with Mrs. Jully's funeral.

From the most common burial in the cemetery, to the high-tech cremation to make diamonds, the environmentally friendly one is to plant a tree on the ashes, and the free one is to scatter the ashes directly into the sea at that time.

The relationship between May and Emma is deteriorating day by day, and it seems that the angry eyes on Emma are extremely beneficial.

However, Emma is not as fragile as Hugh imagined. Every time Hugh felt that Emma was about to break down and cry or hit him directly, Emma controlled herself. Even from the day when she learned of Jully's death, Emma never cried , as time passed, he felt that this was May's special comfort method.

After another quarrel, Emma secretly found the assistant lady, booked a direct flight to Baltimore, and flew directly over by herself.

She didn't want to believe Hugh, let alone May who appeared out of nowhere, she needed to see it with her own eyes, the fact she was told by others.

Emma knew in her heart that there was no need for others to make up a bad news to deceive her, but she still stubbornly wanted to prove it with her own eyes.

But when she got off the plane and got into a taxi to the police station, she flinched.Caught off guard by this retreat, she stopped moving forward, and finally got out of the car halfway, and walked over step by step.She wants to know the facts, but is afraid of knowing the facts. She has thought a lot along the way, but she seems to have thought of nothing. She has a destination, but she hopes that she will never reach it.

Just like this, she walked forward in a trance, until she was suddenly grabbed by the arm and staggered back a few steps, only to realize that she was at a crossroads, and there were vehicles whizzing by in front of her.

And the person holding him back is Isaac.

Emma couldn't control it anymore. Others might lie to her, but Isaac had no reason to lie.

"I should have known." She choked up and said, "I can convince myself that I was deceived by their cooperation, but you are here, and I only believe in you."

Isaac, who was regarded as a mourning bird, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.However, they need to get out of here as a matter of urgency. An obviously underage girl hugged a man and cried loudly in the street.

"I...Issac?" Reid, who was as physically weak as ever, finally rushed over. He bent down, put his hands on his knees, and kept panting heavily. That face, "Miss Emma?"

"Dr...Reid?" Emma was a little uncertain.Unlike Issac who often had the opportunity to meet or contact in the past, although Emma was impressed by Reid who had helped her, she was not so impressed.Moreover, compared with a few years ago, Reid's image has really changed a lot. Emma could guess it was him, or because his voice was very special and impressed her.

"It's me." Reid straightened up, trying to breathe calmly, "Why are you here? Isn't your grandmother with you?"

"You know her?" Emma rubbed her eyes, which became red and swollen every time she cried, and felt very uncomfortable. "Is BAU responsible for Mom's case?"

"Yes." Reid nodded.

"Then have you found the bad guy who killed my mother?" Emma asked hopefully.

A simple question made the two men silent at the same time.

Emma looked at Reid, then at Isaac, and found the answer from this unusual silence, "It's okay, you are so good, you will definitely catch the murderer." She recalled when she first met BAU when she was young During that encounter, he nodded very positively, "You will definitely."

To be honest, at this time, the hysterical disappointment and anger of the victim's family members feels better than the current empathy. Too much understanding will always make people feel distressed and guilty.

"We will, I promise." Reid looked into Emma's eyes very seriously and made a promise.

"Let's go to the coffee shop for a while." Issac suggested that the street is not a good place to chat.He wondered how Emma came here alone.

That's a nice proposition.

Emma doesn't need to think about what to do next, she just needs to be held by Isaac, walk into a coffee shop, find a seat, and when the waiters in the shop bring their coffee and snacks, Her stomach growled.

"How long has it been since you ate?" Isaac pushed the plate of cake in front of Emma.

Emma shook her head, "I have no appetite."

"But you need to replenish your energy." Isaac said disapprovingly, "Your body has sent a signal. If you ignore it, you will suffer one day. I know you are very sad, but even for Mrs. Jully, You also have to take care of yourself and cheer yourself up."

Emma could feel her eyes becoming sore again, she lowered her head, blinked a few times quickly, picked up the spoon and reached for the cake, as if the insistence of the previous few days was fake.Of course she knew that her previous behavior of refusing to eat because of lack of appetite was a kind of willfulness, but the people around her accepted her employment, except for a few times of persuasion, they gave up after no effect.As for May, who was not in an employment relationship with her, she didn't want to understand Emma's mind at all, and even made sarcastic remarks when others comforted her, saying that Emma would naturally eat when she was hungry, and she didn't eat now because she was not hungry.

From this point of view, it is not without reason that Emma is not close to her, or even worse.

Even strangers would not sneer at her in front of a child who just lost her mother. May also lost her daughter, but her unsad attitude pushed Emma farther and farther, and made Emma let herself go.

Anyway, no one cares about her, no one really cares about her, right?

But when Isaac pushed the cake in front of her and gently told her to take good care of herself, she realized that what she had been looking forward to was someone who didn't show concern because of interests, but only for herself as an independent individual .

Emma dug the cake with a spoon, she still didn't feel hungry, even her stomach protested to her and refused to accept the food, but she still finished the not-so-big piece of cake spoon by spoon.That sweet taste relaxed her tense and even tangled nerves a lot.

Emma held a cup of hot milk in her hand and sipped it in small sips.

"I want to go see Mom," Emma whispered. "Can you help me?"

Isaac put down his glass, didn't answer, but asked another question, "Did you come here alone?"

Emma nodded, "I want to see her, they can't just tell me that my mother is gone, and I can only live with May from now on." She looked at Isaac, "You know what? I started I thought it was my mother's trick to get rid of me completely."

"Get rid of it?" Isaac frowned slightly, "Why?"

"That's not important anymore." Emma didn't say much, "I was wrong, I shouldn't object to her, if not for my objection, maybe she is still alive and well."

"It's not your fault." Isaac recalled Dr. Lecter's words. Among the reasons he said for dismissing Mrs. Jully, one of them was about Emma, ​​but the main reason was not her. "Even without you, Dr. On the premise that Lecter has no intention of developing a closer relationship with Mrs. Jully, the dismissal is inevitable."

"Emma, ​​why do you object to Mrs. Jully's work at Dr. Lecter's?" Reid suddenly asked, "Is it just because you discovered Mrs. Jully's admiration for Dr. Lecter?"
