"I sent you a letter," she explained quietly, "I didn't mean not to contact you—I sent it twice, but I didn't get a reply."

Sherlock stared at her accurately: "What was written in the letter?"

This is her new home, unlike Baker Street, where there are more traces of her life, anatomical atlases on the table, easels, flowers, mannequins, newspapers, and a riding outfit hanging behind the door.

Now Adlia hesitated a bit: "I said that my family's golden retriever ran away with another man. I know where that man is, but it's not convenient for me to find him."

"The tips you gave me were too stingy." He whispered.

"But I sent a second letter about my recent situation, but you didn't reply." She said in a low voice.

What she didn't say was that it was even a reckless love letter.

She wants to ask what are they now?Is it counted together, or what?But it was hard for her to ask—that would be too embarrassing.

"What happened that day?" he asked her again.

If he asked herself, she would be a little incoherent, but if he was so calm and didn't pursue it, she would be a little flustered.At this moment, some inexplicable uneasiness arose in Adelia's heart. She felt that she might be one of his clients, and at a certain moment, she felt that the other party was a little strange.

Obviously she said she loved him - obviously she loved him.

"After I went, Conceto pointed a gun at me, and then I chatted with him a few words to test his purpose, knocked him over when he was not paying attention, and put him down with a gun , Then I left in his clothes, but as soon as I got out of the hotel, Moran found out, Moran found out that I was not Conceto, so he shot me, and I jumped the Thames in a moment of desperation."

——During the replay with Mycroft, she concluded that Conceto might have been ordered to have a secret signal with Moran, and Moran knew his appearance, so it was easily exposed.

The situation was dangerous at that time, and Adlia narrowly avoided the first shot, and made a bold decision almost instantly after judging that she might not be able to escape—she jumped off the Thames River.

I am grateful that thermal weapons are not so developed in this era, I am grateful that the Thames River is dirty, I am grateful that the eyesight of those who pursued me is not good enough to see her position in the river, I am grateful that she has not completely forgotten swimming—her ears are rumbling A few gunshots were discerned from the sound of the water, and Adlia held her breath and dived down, drifting along the river for an unknown amount of time before she landed smoothly.

Even thinking about all this now, Adelia's hands are still cold.

She sat on the chair and he leaned against the table, so he reached out and held her hand in his again, trying to give her some warmth.His mind almost uncontrollably described the thrilling situation at that time. He didn't know that his hands were also cold at the moment.

"After I went ashore, I didn't dare to be sloppy. I was afraid that Moriarty's eyes and ears were still nearby. I found a farmer at random. The farmer's family had a daughter. I spent some money to ask him to take me in, and asked him not to tell anyone about me. No trace, the farmer kept me overnight and gave me a clean skirt and a veil."

At that time, she considered that the banks of the Thames might not be safe. Although the tracking and searching in this era were not as developed as in later generations, Adlia had a preliminary understanding of Moriarty's power, so she was naturally very cautious.She has been wearing a veil since she resumed her women's clothing.Soaking in the river for a long time made her physically weak, and she even had the mood to lament that she was lucky not to be infected with cholera.

"I just ran around undercover, and then settled in Brighton," she was so sensitive at the time that everyone might turn into a villain. "Molan knew I was not dead, so I didn't dare to contact Baker Street, and later I recall the case of the Greek interpreter."

She sighed in her heart, the goddess of luck still favored her, she had nothing on her, only a gun with a misfire and water, and a sum of cash—thankfully, her cash was enough for her to buy some medicine and rent a small apartment for a short stay.

Speaking of which, Sherlock probably knew about it—Macrof published his address in the newspaper in order to help Melas at that time, and Adelia probably found it from the library during that period of time. The newspaper, and then successfully sent the letter out.

What he didn't know was that she was already sick before McCoff found her, with repeated fever and cough, and this era without antibiotics was too difficult for Adlia, and she almost died during the week of waiting. The last money was spent, but fortunately she didn't wait in vain.

"I was always sick at the beginning, and I didn't have much time to be awake." Her eyes were sore, "I was used to explain Moriarty's information to McCaughey, and then winter came, and my illness procrastinated It's not always good. Mycroft felt that my body might not be able to handle it, so he moved me to Kent. The weather here is better. Sir Brackenstow owes him a favor and is willing to help take care of me. He also knows O. Dr. Sera, I can live more comfortably."

"Later Sir Brackenstadt's son, that is, Leyburn, he always had low blood sugar before meals—"

But his fingers suddenly pressed against her lips, making her stop.

"Adelia, I remember when we were in the car." His voice broke off a little, as if he hadn't prepared the words for the next sentence, "You want to ask for a kiss."

She raised her head and looked at him as if she was staring at the stars.

And why not when he looked at her?The appearance of her changing back into women's clothes was only more beautiful than he imagined. In places he didn't see, she slowly became lively and no longer concealed her brilliance.And he didn't see it, and he missed it all.Her hair was a little longer, and it was tied in a low and cute bun, but it was messed up by that rude young master just now, and it was a bit thorny in his eyes at the moment.

He paused for a long time, so long that his girl became a little uneasy again.

"I heard you enlighten Miss Sutherland this morning," he said with a smile, "You have to break up if you hide it, you have to break up if you are late, you have to break up if you leave without saying goodbye-will you treat me like this?"

She clumsily wanted to explain, but his lips were blocked by him the next moment.

It was the second time they had kissed so deeply - the previous one was too painful for them.His hands unraveled her hair at some point, and his five fingers sank deep into the hair. The two of them closed their eyes almost at the same time, leaving all their senses in the place where they touched.

His breath was full of her smell, he smelled fresh grass, sweet and sour lemon, he tasted slightly drunk wine, delicious candy.So he greedily plundered her everything until she was out of breath, until she completely surrendered herself and melted into his arms.

How could he not love her every reaction.

She pays so much attention to the sense of distance, the contact with others is from point to point, and she tries to avoid physical contact as much as possible, but she allows herself, longing for the largest area of ​​clinging in his arms.

He touched her waist and the back of her neck, which always aroused her to tremble briefly, but she tried her best to restrain her dodge, and boldly moved closer to him.

Let go of the girl who was almost out of breath but didn't take the initiative to retreat, and held her softly in his arms, listening to her soft panting, he let out a muffled laugh, and followed her with his fingers one after another. hair.

"I won't be blinded by the emotion in front of me anymore, Adelia," his chin rubbed against the top of her head, "I can't bear to have you out of my sight."

His two sentences sound unrelated at first glance, but they are just two declarations extracted from his thinking.

Although she seemed to be doing well now, it was not difficult for Sherlock to speculate how much she had suffered. Among other things, just now, holding her in his arms, she could feel that she had lost a lot of weight.How long had she floated ashore in the Thames in autumn, and how did she seek shelter in panic?The guns she carried, the ether handkerchief, the contempt of the people in the country - she almost died where he didn't see, and often suffered where he couldn't see.She tried to easily convey her suffering and panic in a few words, but he could feel the pain in her restrained narrative.

Adelia was so upset that she didn't know what he meant.

"Molan came here this time on his own initiative, but Moriarty will definitely know soon," he still hugged her tenderly, but his words returned to the calm and rational detective, "he will definitely keep an eye on her." You, is this also the purpose of you and Mycroft?"

After a while, Adelia said in a low voice, "You will do the same."

Suddenly, Sherlock remembered Watson's letter to him saying that the doctor he saw had traces of him in his speech and behavior. This sentence made him a little happy at the moment, but because of her arbitrariness, he pushed himself into danger. troubled by it.

"Then, Dr. Hurston, please tell me her plan." If she was not still in his arms, the detective's appearance would be as serious as facing every ordinary client, "I have the right to accept a Entrust—to eradicate danger for my beloved."

Hearing these familiar words, Adelia's face became hot again uncontrollably, and she wanted to push him, but she was captured by his lips as soon as she pushed away.

"Rhea, I heard you—" Osera's voice came, he knocked on the door almost perfunctorily, and pushed it open when he saw that the door was not closed tightly, "Oh my god! Sorry!"

The calm doctor was rarely frightened to close the door vigorously, and the sound of closing the door finally separated the long-lost lovers.

"My image is finished." She muttered - just now she subconsciously hid in his arms.

"Ah, actually," he said slowly, "I can't imagine how Watson would describe you and me in the article."

Looking at Adelia's dumbfounded expression, he added: "After all, I told him not long ago that I hate emotions and I have made up my mind never to fall in love or get married."

After a while, I heard Ossella's soft knock on the door again: "The couple inside, although I don't intend to disturb, but Mr. Melas's letter seems to be very anxious?"

Adelia wanted to tie her hair up, but she was in a hurry and couldn't fix it. He looked down at her in a hurry and didn't help, so she gave her a reproachful look.Adelia didn't know that her lips were slightly swollen from being sucked by someone, and her eyes were still a little red, so she was about to open the door to meet people.

Instead, Sherlock took out a hat with a veil from behind the door, and put it on her head.

Adelia was a little puzzled.

"Understand a little bit, you are not suitable for being seen by others now."
