[HP] If youth has an ageless face

Always what?

She didn't say anything, but insisted that he sit down and recuperate in the armchair, complaining about Christian's ignorance: he boldly accepted a young healer's proposal and chose to use Muggle rather than wizard medical methods, As a result, two weeks later, he is still walking on crutches.

"I think I made a small contribution to the development of medical care in Denmark—"

"—You are not young anymore, Christian!" Edwin raised his head and glared at him, sternly taught, "A young man will never fall into such a situation after falling in the garden!"

Christian blushed, took the silver tray as if diverting his attention, and began to read the letter inside.He picked up the top card first, looked at it with a frown, and then threw it into the trash can.

This scene did not escape Edwin's eyes.She held up the newspaper in her hand to cover the smile on her lips.Vulgar jealousy will not provoke the relationship between her and Christian, but every wife will inevitably care about her husband's attitude towards his old lover, and she is the same.

"Brace's letter." Christian handed her the second letter, and Edwina couldn't wait to open it, and looked at it at a glance, with a joyful smile on his face while looking at it:

"Thanks Merlin! It's a daughter, they named her Elizabeth." She smiled and raised the photo attached to the letter, "Do you think it looks like me?"

Christian stared at her soft and radiant face like rose petals.No matter which room she steps into, it will be full of brilliance because of her, it was the same ten years ago, and it will be the same ten years later.On the contrary, he could feel that his life was being sliced ​​thinner and thinner year after year.He could see in the mirror the withering of life, the wretchedness of the remaining time, like a melody that was about to end.

"No." He deliberately teased her, "She is more like her mother."

"That's enough." Edwina reluctantly looked away, and continued to read Blaise's letter.Christian knew what she was referring to—after Edwinla came to Denmark, she began to close the door and decline countless invitations.When he asked why, she replied with only one plain sentence:

I've caused enough trouble in my life.

She was right.So they moved to this secluded beach house a few years ago in search of a sense of seclusion.

"What else did Blaise say?"

"Same old thing. Let me go back to England and meet them." She curled her lips. "Why don't they come to see me in Denmark? I know they will always have countless reasons-the children are too young, the children are too noisy, the work is too busy-to count Well, only you can live with me." She kissed him on the cheek, "I'll write a reply."

Christian knew that Blaise had been working on inviting Edwin to live in England.With the efforts of his wife and the lubricating role played by the two grandsons, the relationship between the mother and son has gradually become more harmonious, and they have gradually been able to talk about some family issues that they would not talk about before, and the letters they wrote to each other became more and more harmonious. longer and longer.

But Edwinra has been rejecting their proposals.She also gave many reasons-not acclimatizing to the climate, not wanting to travel long distances, Christian's health is always unstable... In fact, they all knew the real reason.

Since they promised each other that they would let go of the past, how could she easily return to that homeland?Even if there is her only son and last relative on that land.

Thinking of this, Christian rang the bell and called the butler who had been with him for a long time: "Next week, you find time to go to the jewelry store and bring back the things I commissioned them to make." He glanced upstairs and raised his head. Putting a finger on his lips, "Don't let her know."

"Okay, sir." After the butler agreed, he looked at his legs with concern, "Or... why don't you ask the therapist to come to your house?"

Christian waved his hand nonchalantly: "What's the use of coming? After all, I'm no longer a young man, and it must take a lot of time to recover... But this fall made me realize that I am indeed old."

"You are still the same as before..." the butler didn't finish his sentence.Christian isn't actually that old, but his health has always had its ups and downs.The reason is mostly due to the self-styled lifestyle when I was young.

Christian motioned him not to say anymore: "Don't mention the past." He pointed to the card lying in the trash can, "In the future, we must pay special attention to this kind of thing, and don't show up in front of us again."

A few days later, when Edwina took Christian for a walk on the coastal path under the setting sun, she stared at the sky dyed golden red by the rays of the sun, and suddenly said: "I didn't expect Bryce to get married so soon. In a blink of an eye, there are three children."

"Are you surprised?"

"Of course." Edwina saw the clue from Christian's expression of restrained laughter, "Do you know something?"

"Well... just heard about it." He replied slowly.

"Tell me now."

"Okay, I'll tell you if you ask me."

She shook his arm very perfunctorily: "Please."

"This is too insincere!" Christian stared at her with scorching eyes, "At least express something?"

Edwina turned her head and looked not far away. A pair of young people were walking towards each other arm in arm. Her face blushed inexplicably:

"Irregular!"

"I don't think we're getting old, ma'am." Seeing Edwin's eyebrows raised higher and higher, Christian said enough, "Okay, okay, I said it's okay. Blaise didn't say anything, but I guess it's a A story of warming each other and even a two-way secret love."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know the details. You should ask Blaise." Christian asked pretending to be unintentional, "Will the family come to see us this Christmas?"

"No." She sighed deeply, "They are going to travel again."

"So," he asked, "do you want to go back to England?"

Edwin pulls back to look at him, and he looks back at her.The couple walked past them playfully, leaving behind a lot of laughter.

"No need." After a moment of silence, she shook her head and slightly tightened her arm, "I want to be with you."

"Edwina, you can't be with me forever, and I can't be with you forever." I don't know if it's because it's dusk at this time, but Christian feels powerless and sad inexplicably, "If you If you think about it, go back and have a look, after all, that is your home."

"Have you forgotten, I am a person without a home." She reminded blankly, "A long time ago, my home was in Brazil. I have been wandering since then."

"You have also seen the physical examination report sent by the therapist, Edwina." Christian raised his voice slightly, and finally said what he was afraid of, "I have a hunch... I don't have much time."

"Is that why you persuaded me to leave?"

"I don't have the courage to say my last goodbye. And I don't want to see your tears...if you will cry for me."

At this time, several loud and desolate chirping sounds came from afar, and the two followed the sound at the same time, and saw a group of snow-white seagulls circling in the sky, with golden sunsets leaking from their wings.Christian unconsciously looked at Edwina, who was also looking at him, narrowing her eyes slightly due to the harsh light.

"Edwin La, I really hope we can meet sooner."

She silently fell on his shoulder, looking at the birds and the sunset together, as an answer.

The author has something to say:

This volume of Christian has directly entered the final part, and I will leave the ten years in the middle for everyone to make up for.
