[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

Although the colonel didn't ask what Christo was thinking, but seeing that she had relaxed, he didn't ask any more questions.At this time, Christo's face was very pale, her forehead was very hot, and she didn't know how seriously ill she was this time.Why hasn't the doctor come yet?Christophe has been waiting a long time!

In Christophe's eyes, the Colonel also needed a break.His dark circles are heavy, and there is a circle of blue stubble around his mouth. It seems that Eliza made a lot of trouble before. She probably imagined her as that kind of vicious stepmother.How could this little girl be so... Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, she saw the colonel wishing to shrink into the hole, Christo felt that the colonel really felt sorry for her when he saw her pitiful appearance. There is no way to punish her.

"You should also pay attention to rest, Colonel. I think no matter what is important, you should go to sleep first. Otherwise, I may not be the only one who is sick. Eliza is still pregnant, it is best not to approach Me, if she catches a cold from me, that's a big problem."

Christo felt that when she had a fever, she just felt a little uncomfortable and sweated, and her heartbeat was rapid. After lying down for a while, Christo was at least awake.In fact, she is more afraid of catching a cold than having a fever. Every time she catches a cold, she feels that her nose is blocked and she can't breathe.In this day and age, many people are poor and have no money to pay for consultation fees.

During the few days when she was sick, the colonel would deliver a newspaper to her every day, which could be regarded as letting her know what was happening outside.But he doesn't seem to think that letting a girl read newspapers will have a bad influence. This is much better than those so-called gentlemen who wholeheartedly hope that girls are like lace flowers and only depend on men for their lives.For the rest of the time, the colonel did not appear in front of Christo, which probably meant to avoid suspicion. The two of them were not really engaged yet, so keeping a certain distance was an explanation to each other.

Christo's illness came and went quickly this time.On the morning of the third day, she was able to get out of bed and move around, and the fever subsided. Now she just has some nasal congestion.

Eliza was eight months pregnant, so the family became more careful about protecting her.Her room is guarded every night, in case there is no time to respond when there is a problem at night.Now the little girl has settled down and raised her baby with peace of mind.When you have nothing to do, just look at the book list provided by Christo.Books may not be useful all the time, but if you go to the end of the road, sometimes reading books will be rewarding.

After reading the book, Eliza calmed down, and she seemed to be somewhat motherly.But the list of books Christo provided her was not for cultivating her brilliance.She recommended that Elisa read some books on history. It’s better for little girls like literature to stay away. If Elisa hadn’t read too much romance, she wouldn’t be able to do things like elope. Behavior has nothing to do with character, it's just a matter of impulse.

On the evening of the third day, Christo was sitting by a candle reading the books on the Colonel's shelf.These are military, including gun maintenance and united front management. With some blueprints and data, Christophe has returned the science part to the teacher back then, so she just read some theoretical things.

Suddenly there was a 'dong' from upstairs, the sound was not loud, but it hit everyone's hearts.Christo's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried to the second floor.Brandon also seemed to have heard the voice from upstairs. He hurriedly put on a coat and ran upstairs—it must not be that something happened to Elisa!

That night, Blanton House was brightly lit, and several servants hurriedly prepared the things for delivery, and sent pots of hot water to the delivery room.Christo's impression of this night was quite vague. She was still suffering from a cold, so she shouldn't have been in the delivery room.But sometimes when people are in a hurry, many things are forgotten.

She suddenly discovered that she was actually very afraid of death, and her so-called control was only verbal. When she really encountered a problem, she could only repeat to Elisa over and over again: "It's okay, hold on. It's fine···"

She couldn't remember how many times she said this sentence, she didn't dare to look at Eliza's face, but she could always hear Eliza crying in pain, Eliza crying...

She held Elisa in her hand, and both hands were very cold. She even felt that she had taken away the temperature from Elisa's body, and felt that Eliza's life was slowly passing away.Christo was shaking all the time, but she held Elisa very hard.

Eliza is a good girl, and she is very young!She is not willing to succumb to fate, she also wants to live and fulfill the responsibilities of a mother.A few days ago, Elisa was still saying to Christo: "I want to raise this child, raise her with my own hands, and give her the best."

No matter how dark the night is, there will be an end.The night is coming to an end, and the dawn is coming.A final, shrill cry sounded from Eliza's room, and then fell silent. A minute later, the colonel heard a faint, but very powerful cry of a baby outside the door.

—The child is born.

Christo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She sat on the soft floor in the room, slowly returning to consciousness, and she showed a gentle smile to Eliza: "It's okay, the child is healthy, and it's a boy."

The tired pregnant woman showed a warm smile, even though her lips had been bitten by herself, even though sweat made her hair stick together, even though her pale face had no trace of blood.But she is a mother now, a mother who loves her children, it has nothing to do with beauty, it just comes from the heart.

Christo tucked the quilt for Elisa. She has no experience in this area, and the maid who has childbirth experience will provide the necessary help later.Things will go smoother and smoother in the future. Elisa has passed the most difficult stage and will be fine.

The colonel didn't know when he stood behind Christo, and he put a coat on her.It was only then that Christo realized that her clothes were also wet with sweat.It was as if she had gone through a labor herself.Life is so fragile, but also so strong.This is something she has never experienced.

The colonel went to fight in India when he was very young, and he was promoted frequently within a few years. These so-called military ranks are not simple verbal titles, they represent countless fights and struggles in the past few years .All Christo has is just the tip of the pen, and she has realized her biggest problem-lack of connections and lack of power to make a statement.

"It's all over." The colonel comforted softly, and he didn't know whether he was speaking for Christo or comforting Eliza who had already fallen asleep.

Christo accumulated her writing strength, and was pulled up by the colonel.She looked at Eliza's sleeping face, and suddenly said: "She really knew she was wrong. I always think that in this respect, the man who made the bigger mistake should be the man, so Willoughby must pay the price. "

"You don't have to worry about these things, I will find a way to solve them." The colonel comforted.

"No, I definitely want to get involved in this matter. No one can get away with cheating on my sister, my good friend and...Eliza. He must leave something behind, we I know what kind of method you will choose to deal with this problem in the end, and this may not be the best." Christophe said every word, and she sniffed her nose hard while speaking, but it was a gloomy passage. Sen's words came alive.

The colonel was silent for a moment.The solution is usually to let Eliza live a reclusive life, so that her children will always live in the humble and dark.A slightly better way is to let Willoughby marry Elisa, but it also means subsidizing the villain with a large sum of money, which is definitely not a pleasant thing.

Brandon was originally inclined to the latter, which was also an explanation for Elisa.But Christo seems to have a different opinion.Normally, it would be unwise for a lady to come forward and do such a thing.Christo just arrived in London for the first time. Even if she has a few close friends, she has no real rights or contacts. How good will she handle it?

"If you want to contribute, you must at least give me a rough plan. Christo, this kind of thing can't be done in a moment of anger. I think you'd better discuss it with me." I can also do it for you.

Christophe walked out the door silently. She really wanted to have a plan, and she had to think again.

At noon, Christo's carriage left Blanton House, and she left Elisa an address, hoping to maintain a certain frequency of communication with her.She has been away for a long time, and it is time to go back to Mrs. Jennings.

When she was recovering from illness, she heard that Mrs. Jennings had prepared a very good ball on the weekend, which was different from the standards of the country ball.It was Christo's first time attending a London dance, and besides talking on paper, she had to make other preparations.

Mrs. Jennings didn't know about Christo's whereabouts these days, and her two older sisters were also kept in the dark. Of course, they didn't care as much about their sister as Mrs. Jennings, an outsider.Marianne was still in grief, and it is said that she sent several letters afterward, all of which were lost in the end.

Definitely.Aurora's manor does not accept letters from strangers, let alone letters that are obviously girlish.It's a secret that they are doing business in private. If the wealth of the girls' private business exceeds the wealth of many men, think about what kind of censure these girls will face!

The author has something to say: This is all I can write about production. It’s not easy to see Eliza, so I hate her...

And, the dance party will start in the next chapter, and it's finally getting hot again...

I can write several pictures about the prom, but I’m still struggling with how to write it so that it’s not stupid or white… O(∩_∩)O~
