The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 699

With the last name of Drizzt and the name of Jessica, she still loved them, but she didn't remember anything.

When Jessica heard Ada read out her name, she was obviously stunned and kept muttering "Esmeralda".

Her brows were furrowed, as if she remembered something, but also as if she couldn't remember anything.

"What's wrong, Ms. Drizzt?" Fred asked softly.

"Ah?" Jessica came back to her senses and apologized again, "I'm sorry, I was distracted again. I'm so sorry, I just..."

"Do you like "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" too? My parents like this novel very much, so they gave me this name." Ada lowered her eyes and held the coffee cup with both hands, as if the whole world was in the cup.

"They must hope that you can be as kind and beautiful as Esmeralda in the book." Jessica said thoughtfully, "Ah... Sorry, I think I said too much."

After that, Jessica left.

It was obvious that Jessica really wanted to continue chatting with Ada, but she didn't dare to go on because she was worried that she would annoy Ada.

Both his distraction twice and his expression of opinion on Ada's name were extremely rude behaviors.

When Jessica returned to the bar and stood there in a daze, the twins started talking again.

Fred tapped his knuckles on the table. "She may not remember you, but she remembers the name 'Drizzt.'"

George hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why not remove the forgetfulness spell on your father? You can do it. She still loves you, even though she has 'forgotten' you."

Resting her elbows on the table again, Ada put her hands together and pressed them against her forehead. She whispered, "Why let her remember? Why let her remember that her husband is dead?"

That's cruel.

Although she was cast under the spell of forgetfulness and had forgotten everything, Jessica still remembered the last name "Drizzt". She didn't remember it, but the feeling was still affecting her.

Ada didn't want to remove the Oblivion Charm, even though she had the urge to do so at one point.

She didn't want Jessica to recall the past, didn't want Jessica to think about her dead husband, and didn't want Jessica to feel guilty about herself.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have come today." Ada murmured, "It's better to miss her than to meet her. Knowing that she is still alive is enough."

Picking up the coffee cup with a round belly, Ada took a sip of the café au lait in the cup.

This is a kind of latte that can be considered as French style. Half of the coffee is poured into half of the boiling milk, and the rich aroma instantly spreads out pure warmth.

Just then, the bell hanging on the door of the store rang crisply, and a little girl who looked about ten years old walked in.

The girl's long flaxen hair was tied into a braid at the back of her head, swinging playfully as she danced. The porcelain doll-like girl ran straight to the bar while shouting "Mom".

The childish voice awakened the dazed Jessica. She leaned over and gently held the little girl in her arms.

Sitting by the window, before the twins could ask, Ada took the initiative to say, "That's her current daughter, Cameo, which means a colored gem relief."

Hearing this, George sighed softly: "It's similar to your name, both mean gemstone."

"Let's go!" Fred suggested.

The two brothers knew Ada's mind very well. Once she made up her mind to do something, it would be difficult for others to persuade her.

The three men stood up and walked towards the bar.

The little girl named Cameo sat alone, eating bread in small bites, as if the bread in her hand was the most delicious food in the world. Jessica was still standing at the bar, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Cameo.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Drizzt," said Fred, handing the banknotes to Jessica.

But Jessica didn't want to accept it. She said, "I have been rude again and again. The coffee is my apology!"

One insisted on giving it, the other insisted on not taking it, and Fred and Jessica pushed the bills back and forth at the bar.

"Well, I see there's a guitar there, I'd like to borrow it." Ada said, "This money will be used as the fee for borrowing the guitar."

With that, Ada walked straight to the guitar in the corner without giving Jessica any chance to refute.

George walked towards the well-behaved Cameo and sat next to the little girl. Fred also walked towards the little girl after putting down the coins and talked to the doll-like Cameo.

"What's your name, little boy?" Fred asked, taking out a piece of ordinary chocolate from his pocket.

"My name is Cameo Drizzt, big brother." Cameo said in a baby voice, not shy at all. But although the little girl was not shy, she did not take the chocolate from Fred.

"So how old are you this year?" Fred asked again, and he took out another small bag of candy from his pocket.

Cameo was still not tempted by Fred's advances. She said, "I'm ten years old. I'm not a kid anymore."

When Fred was talking to little Cameo, George's eyes stayed on Cameo for a while, and then on Jessica and Ida. George was sure that Cameo should be Jessica's adopted child.

Because there is nothing alike between these two people.

Even if the child looks like the father, how strong must the father's genes be to make the child look nothing like his mother!

In fact, little Cameo was indeed adopted by Jessica.

Because of the forgetfulness spell, Jessica didn't remember anything, but she always had the same dream for many years - in the dream, she had a handsome husband and a lovely daughter.

Every time she woke up from a dream, Jessica would forget her husband's name and her daughter's name, but she remembered the last name "Trest".

So she changed her last name to Drizzt and adopted little Cameo from the orphanage.

Some feelings are engraved in the bones and souls, and even magic cannot erase them completely.

"Is that big sister pretty?" Fred pointed at Ada who was plucking the strings of the guitar.

"It looks good!" Cameo answered crisply.

"How about giving it to you as a sister?" George also joined in teasing Cameo.

The cute Cameo tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "Okay!"

"This sister is so beautiful, but she will take away mom's love. Is that a good thing?" George asked again.

"Okay!" Cameo said firmly, "This way there will be two people to take care of Mom in the future! Cameo is still too young now, and Cameo can't take care of Mom alone."

Fred and George looked at each other. This child was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. They recalled the time when they first met Ada on the platform.

At this time, the sound of piano rang out in the small cafe.

Then, a beautiful, ancient, dreamy melody and touching lyrics come, as if a siren is singing softly in your ear -

Are you going to Scarborough Fair~ (Are you going to Scarborough Fair?)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there~ (Say hello to a girl there for me)
She once was a true love of mine~ (She was once my love)
