My brother is so fierce

Everything about Maggie is handled by Meredith himself, such as eating and wiping her face, and he will also put a small mole on the tip of her nose. The already straight nose becomes more lovely because of the mole. He didn't want to see Maggie's red eyes—because they were completely different from Minian, and he needed to cover up this obvious difference in order to concentrate on getting along with her as Minian.

He solved the problem by covering her eyes with a silk scarf.

But Minian will not listen to him so obediently like Maggie, Minian...his Minian will always stay in her innocent world, she will not dress and eat by herself, these are in Vito's rich It was not a problem in her family, she would suddenly yell, would suddenly slap him for his approach without warning, and then innocently laugh at her brother.

These, Meredith can bear.

If it wasn't for his cousin's visit, he took off Minian's clothes and teased her when he didn't pay attention, causing her to be frightened and running around in disheveled clothes, and even ran to the street, letting the group of civilians see such absurdity This scene... Maybe his good father would not poison Minian to death just because he cared about his cousin and his own face.

He personally went to the garden to pick her favorite sunflower for Minian. Her smile was always facing the sun like this sunflower, without any haze. In the past, when he was suppressed by his father to learn the knowledge that he had to learn, as long as he was with Honey Ni'an can dissipate the exhaustion in her body and heart after being with her for a while.

She was the gift left to him by his mother after her death, the only gift that belonged to Meredith.

When Meredith was away, Maggie would remove the scarf from her eyes. She found a painting spatula from the gap between the bed and the template. Prying the dead window open, ignoring her strength, and needing to stay undetected by Meredith was a bit difficult.

But it's better than doing nothing.

Although she didn't know what Meredith was going to do, she couldn't keep her here as a pet. The way he looked at Maggie from the satisfaction at the beginning to the anxiety now was not a good idea. omen.

The window was nailed shut, and there was only a small gap exposed. Maggie tried to push it, but she couldn't move it. She could barely stretch out a few fingers, which was not enough.She would put that small shovel under her pillow when she slept at night, and no one knew if Meredith would hurt her. Although it was unlikely to cause much damage, it was still more useful than bare hands.

She lifted the heavy floor-to-ceiling curtains and opened a little to see Meredith squatting in the garden cutting flowers. Maggie had heard him say that tomorrow would be his sister's birthday, so now he was busy getting ready and doing her best. It's not so strict anymore.

She had just put down the curtains, and William, who was wearing a hat, was walking in the corridor in the garden. He avoided Meredith, who was focused on cutting flowers, and looked up at the rooms on the second floor. The curtains were drawn, and he couldn't see The situation inside.

For William, this increased the difficulty of finding.

He didn't have much time to stay here. Fortunately, the people around him were not familiar with the dirty boys working in the stables. Even if William met them, it didn't arouse much suspicion.

William looked at the thickly carved door, and just as he took a step, he caught a glimpse of the butler walking out of the corner of his eye.He moved quickly against the wall, and Douglas glanced sharply in his direction. The corridor was curved, and he silently approached and looked around, but he didn't see anyone.

William was not far away from him, and before he lifted his footsteps, a maid's voice came from behind him: "Douglas, butler Douglas! The Earl calls you over!"

The shout caught Meredith's attention, and he looked back in Douglas' direction. The butler saluted him with etiquette, then turned and walked back into the hall.

Earl Vito was leaning on the sofa, he seemed to like this position to smoke, the smoke was lingering, and he could vaguely see the coldness in the man's green eyes.

Douglas closed the door tactfully, turned around and bowed his head: "Earl..."

"Didn't I ask you to dispose of her?" He seemed to be talking about how to dispose of a rabbit, as simple and casual as he crushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and exhaled the last puff of white smoke, "The heir of the Vito family is absolutely Don't get what you're not supposed to get, you know that, Douglas."

Douglas wanted to say something, but finally turned into a sentence: "It's my fault, Lord Earl."

"The last one was not dealt with cleanly, do you know how much I spent in the police station?" He stared at Douglas and warned word by word, "I only have such a son, and the life and death of civilians has nothing to do with me, but it must not be with Douglas. The Vito family has a relationship..."

"There is also a group of policemen who have been keeping a close eye on Vito's house recently. You must follow him closely."

"It must not be discovered..."

"That's my only heir."

Douglas moved his fingers, staring at the dark red carpet under his feet, and replied yes.

William didn't get the result he wanted on the first day. He squatted in the haystack of the stable without giving up. Even if someone passed by, he would not pay more attention to the pile of hay in the stable that smelled bad.

Not too far away would be nice.

Maggie was lying on the bed in her nightgown and quietly listening to his story. She was more sleepy than usual at this point, her eyelids could hardly be opened, her body limp, and she closed slowly in the voice of Meredith eyes.In the middle of reading, Meredith pulled his hand away from her hair when she finally fell asleep.

Today's story was shorter than the one he had read to Maggie yesterday, and Meredith had a stone in his heart that couldn't let it go.He stood pacing in the room, and when he opened the door to go out, the butler stood silently at the door, startling him.

Meredith vented his anger without hesitation, "What are you doing standing here?!"

The butler cast a glance into the room from the corner of his eye, and said in a steady voice, "Master Meredith, I'm here to help."

Noticing his gaze, Meredith, who didn't trust him, slammed the door shut and cut off his visit: "I don't need it."

"I can still do some physical work, and I can also set up a carriage."

"The groom is fine too," Meredith didn't agree with him, because the last time the housekeeper violated his orders and locked Maggie alone, it left seeds of doubt in Meredith's heart. But now, he obviously doesn't trust him anymore, "If you don't leave, I will kick you down."

Douglas paused, and took the initiative to go downstairs.

Minian was abandoned by Earl Vito at a place farther away from this town. Meredith was going to celebrate Minian's birthday at twelve o'clock tonight, so he had to take a carriage there.

When the horses in the stable were led out, William, who was hiding in the hay, noticed it and opened a small mouth to look over.

He dared not act rashly.

Meredith carried the flowers and cake into the carriage. William waited quietly until he saw the little blonde girl being carried into the carriage. That said, in fact, those who haven't responded after such a big commotion...may have been drugged.

Maybe it was because she was worried that she would run away.

William's face remained unchanged, and his hands on his knees clenched into fists.

The groom climbed into the carriage and pulled the reins. It was already late at this point. William slowly stepped out of the hay, and he followed silently. The speed of the carriage was not fast, but he was also panting after chasing. Need to avoid the groom looking back at any time.

William could find a better way to catch up with the carriage, but it would take too much time. If it was someone else, maybe he could calmly think of the safest and safest way for him, but that was Ma. Ji, he can’t relax for a moment.

His sister was still alive and dead in that carriage, maybe he would be in danger if he didn't pay attention to Maggie, and what he did would be meaningless.

Because it was not too late, and there were still many people wandering on the street, William avoided the scantily clad woman's hand trying to touch his cheek, and did not look back when she heard the woman's playful low smile.

There was also a drunken man who walked swaggeringly and almost ran into William, but he nimbly avoided a possible dispute, grabbed the ox cart driven by a farmer and borrowed a section of the road, and jumped off when the road was different. Car, continue to follow.

After the moon above his head had shifted position, he finally reached his destination.

It was a sparsely populated small high-rise building, standing pointedly like a tower standing in the deep sea. William was blowing the hot wind at night, but it was much more comfortable than during the day.There is a river next to the house, which is the Thames. At this moment, there is the sound of rushing water, sometimes gently and sometimes rapidly slapping the bank, making a burst of sound, which just covers the sound of William approaching and pushing the door.

He saw that the light on the top floor was always on, and he was holding a self-defense dagger that was already on his waist. For him, this was a sharp weapon that could quickly attack the opponent.

He looked up at the surrounding stone staircase. The decoration here was much simpler than that of the Earl's house. Weeds even grew in the gaps in the walls. It was green, just like the appearance of ordinary people struggling under the rule of the nobles.

He walked lightly, the sound of water outside the house well covered up all his movements, even the vigilant character of the housekeeper did not notice the existence of William.

Meredith stood in the center. He took off his coat and only wore a brand new white shirt and overalls. He rolled up his sleeves and bent down to look at the little girl soaked in formalin. It was a big glass tank , the yellowish liquid looked a little cloudy under the bright light above his head, Meredith's fingers stroked the pale skin of the blonde girl with closed eyes, he didn't seem to be able to smell those pungent smells, and looked intimately and satisfied Looking at Minian, congratulated her on her happy birthday in a low voice.

The girl didn't respond to him, but when Meredith touched her hair, she easily pulled a bunch of it off. He pursed his lips and comforted her in a warm voice: "Brother brought you new hair, my Minnie Ann will always be beautiful..."

The cake was placed aside, candles were lit, and the sunflowers he picked during the day were also placed outside the glass jar. The butler stood aside with a blank expression, holding Maggie with her eyes closed, pinching her secretly. Hit her twice.

After William sang Happy Birthday, he blew out the candles.He stood up and finally set his eyes on Maggie.

He had already made preparations, and took out the razor he had prepared from his pocket, flicked his wrist, and the sharp tip of the knife gleamed under the light.

Douglas stepped back, as if in a last-ditch effort.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the figure passing by downstairs, and Douglas made up his mind and did not confess William.

When Meredith's dangerous eyes fell on his face, the middle-aged man whispered: "Let me come, master, I can shave her hair to make it more suitable for Miss."

Meredith looked at him suspiciously, and finally handed him the razor in trust.

He put Maggie on the stool, the position was just opposite to Minian who was soaked in formalin, they were all about the same age, but they still had to suffer such hardships, Douglas remembered that Miss Minian died at the beginning After falling, Meredith shuddered at what she had done after her eyes rotted, and he couldn't do it after all.

At this time, his hesitant action naturally fell into Meredith's hands. When he impatiently wanted to snatch the razor in his hand, William, who was pressing his body and hiding only a few steps away, suddenly burst into a fit. Rushing forward, he wanted to drag Maggie over, but Meredith quickly snatched the razor from the butler's hand, and swiped at the back of William's hand——

The red-haired boy just frowned, and his outstretched hand did not flinch.

Maggie gradually woke up from the dream. Her eyes were blurred, as if someone had strangled her neck and she was retreating. Her legs were weak, causing her to stagger. She seemed to see William, opened her mouth, and called out in a weak voice. Looking at him: "Brother William!"

William, who was not in a favorable position, smiled gently at her, and stretched out his arms to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, brother is here."

Maggie just turned her head, and Meredith laid the razor across her aorta, for making him more impulsive about Minian, and Meredith leaned against the open window, which was A small window, even if Maggie did not reach her waist position, at this moment, the brown-haired boy stared at William and shouted: "Throw away the dagger!"

William threw away the dagger without hesitation, but his expression did not look like a threatened person. His expression was calm, and his eyes quickly flicked across Minian in the glass jar, and such eyes made Meredith Feeling uneasy, his knife moved closer to Maggie, as if grabbing the last weight, he broke down and growled violently: "I just want her hair, Minian only wants her hair!"

Dead Bertha only wanted eyes, so why did she still die?

Only four members of Earl Vito's family knew the answer, and the butler was one of them.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he could recall how Bertha fell down the stairs after being forced to have an eye removal operation. It was in this place that a naive child passed away.

He couldn't bear it, and finally sent Bertha's body into the water in the most pious way, so that she could go to heaven.Earl Vito is the object of his lifelong service. Whether it is the previous or the next, he will always be the housekeeper of the Vito family. He is the third generation of the hereditary housekeeper. This is the belief that has been in his bones since he was a child. Vito This name can always command him to do anything.

He is very conflicted, or she is in the contradictory whirlpool of her own doubts and her allegiance to Vito, and she cannot extricate herself.

He didn't know which side he should help now, the Thames River was flowing outside the window as high as a lighthouse, and when he squinted in the past, he saw a police car coming not far away.

Although he knew that the sheriff had been watching them recently, he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Meredith's head was hurting, and Minian's laughter seemed to be heard in his ears, and when he looked down, the little girl with blond hair seemed to be Minian's face, facing him Showing his small white teeth, he made an unconscious "da da da" sound.

She is so pretty.

Same as mother.

Maggie noticed that Meredith slowly let go of her, and finally threw the razor in his hand aside, hugged her tightly, and kept calling Minian, William restrained his smile and approached step by step , he knew that the young man in front of him was not far from going crazy. William could understand this feeling because he was going crazy too.

As he slowly approached, Maggie broke free from Meredith's arms and held out her white pinky finger to him.

That kind of action was almost asking him for help, the young man's slender fingers almost grabbed his sister's fingers, and just a little bit, Meredith suddenly woke up, he was furious at the fact that he had admitted the wrong person, He was angry with himself, and blamed part of the responsibility on Maggie. He glanced back at Minian in a panic, as if he had betrayed her, and pushed Maggie hard in a panic, and then moved towards Minian. Nian ran over.

just a little bit...

He was close to grabbing Maggie.

William almost rushed over to grab Maggie's hand. She was pushed by Meredith and fell out of the window. The upper half of her body had already fallen out on her back. William's heart stopped beating, and he grabbed Maggie. A piece of fabric, the heart has not completely fallen, but that piece of fabric is too fragile to bear the weight of Maggie. With the sound of tearing, William stretched out half of his body to quickly grab other fabrics on her body, but finally caught nothing. .

Maggie was so frightened that she cried and called her brother. William breathed heavily with trembling fingers, and watched her disappear into the water with empty eyes. With the last bit of conscience, he pulled him up with a hoarse voice: "You will die..."

William was forcibly pulled up by him, his angry appearance seemed to be the same as usual, his red pupils seemed to be bleeding, he clenched his trembling fists and approached the unresponsive Meredith lying beside the glass tank, and suddenly stretched out He picked up the corpse soaked in formalin, and felt a tingling sensation from the contact between the medicine and the skin on his arm, but he didn't seem to feel anything, and threw the corpse out of the window in front of Meredith.

Regardless of how the boy was screaming in the tall building, William strode downstairs. He remembered the place where Maggie fell into the water, and breathed heavily, he stepped into the river to look for her. His clothes were all wet, and his hair was wet against his cheeks. Bloodless kept calling Maggie's name, expecting her to respond to him, but only the monotonous beating sound of the river gave him a little response.

William searched for many days, and finally he found in despair——

His Maggie, was stolen by the water.
