Chapter 685 Sister, I'm Sorry (35)

When Dane sent the scarred Froze to Bai Wu, she was practicing flower arrangement in the room at that time.

At first, Froze didn't mention the injury to her, but handed her the flower basket in his arms with eyes full of excitement, and his clear eyes became even brighter.

"Sister, look, what did I find?"

He tilted the flower basket so that Bai Wu could see the whole picture better.

There are all kinds of flowers in there, even if it is a white rose that does not belong to this season, the soft petals are covered with a few pieces of snow, and the beauty is like it has just been taken out of a painting.

Bai Wu clapped her hands happily.

"What a beautiful flower, where did you get it?"

On the contrary, Froze scratched his head in embarrassment: "I just bought it from a little girl selling flowers."

"Thank you Froze, I like it very much."

Bai Wu stretched out her hand to take the flower basket, but at the moment she withdrew it, she heard Froze gasp.

She looked over subconsciously, and found that there was a bruise on his arm at the slightly rolled up cuff.

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Wu frowned.

Froze quickly put his hands behind his back: "No, no sister."

Bai Wu put down the flower basket, and pulled his arm with a solemn face.

Flipping up the sleeves, the dense wounds and bruises inside were exposed, which looked particularly shocking on the boy's originally snow-white skin.

She let out a low cry, and then looked at Dane with displeasure: "What's going on? Your Excellency Dane, did you do it?"

Just as Dane wanted to defend himself, Froze quickly waved his hands and said:

"No, that's not the case. I accidentally bumped into it myself. It has nothing to do with Your Excellency Dane."

Bai Wu pretended to be angry: "Froze, you know, I don't like people who lie, you were obviously beaten."

Froze lowered his head, looking a little flustered.

Dane took a deep look at him, then coughed lightly and explained the whole process to Bai Wu.

After Bai Wu heard this, her two eyebrows were already knit together.

"It's too much, Your Excellency Dane, please find out the origin of those people and why they hurt Froze? I will deal with it later."

Dane laughed and joked: "Miss Miriam really deserves to be Duke Redick's daughter, it's very similar to what the Duke would say."

"But don't worry." He then tightened his sword and said, "Since you have already spoken, miss, I won't just sit idly by. The Knights still have something to do, so I'll leave first. "

After speaking, he put his right hand on his chest, performed a standard gentleman's salute, and took another deep look at Froze before leaving.

Bai Wu called Sema, asked her for some ointment, then pulled Froze to sit by the bed, and treated his wound.

Her movements were careful, but when the cotton cloth brushed against the boy's wound, it still caused him to shiver slightly.

Bai Wu's eyes were full of distress: "Froze, you can call out if it hurts, I won't laugh at you."

Froze shook his head and smiled at her.

"Sister, I don't feel any pain. When I was at Leighton Farm, I would often fall off the horse, which hurt much more than this."

"But sister." His tone gradually softened, and some broken light appeared in his black pupils, which shone faintly like fine snow in the dark night. "This is the first time someone cares about my injury and treats my wounds with care." Take the medicine."

He was very careful in what he said, for fear that Bai Wu would dislike him because of these words.

Bai Wu paused, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, then she raised her head guiltily.

"I'm sorry, Froze, my sister promised to protect you, but in the end she caused you such a serious injury."

Froze shook his head and held her somewhat cold fingertips.

"No sister, this has nothing to do with you, I—"

Bai Wu leaned forward, hugged him tightly, and interrupted what he was about to say.

"Froze, remember, you don't need to apologize to anyone, including me, you just need to believe that I can protect you well."

"So, please don't hide it next time, okay?"

Once again, the sweet scent of jasmine enveloped him.

Froze found that he seemed to fall in love with this smell, because he seemed to see large areas of jasmine in full bloom in the snowy sky.

All for him.

He carefully wrapped his arms around the girl without leaving a single gap.

"Good sister." He whispered, a flash of light flashed across his pupils.

In this life, I only hid it from her once.

Dane did not leave Rhodes Manor, but turned and went to Resk's study.

It has been snowing these days and the roads are difficult to walk, so Resk stayed at home to work.

The decoration of his study is almost the same as that in the Corps, almost all of them are dull dark tones and decorations with a medieval retro atmosphere.

Only the silver candlestick on the table gave off a faint warm light.

Even if there are enough flames burning in the fireplace, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of coldness to the bones when others step on it.

Dane knocked on the door and walked in quickly. Just as he was about to report on the work of the past few days, Resk interrupted him by raising his hand, and told him with furrowed brows that the Duke was in a state of confusion at this time. A problem that he couldn't solve himself.

So Dane held his breath, ready to solve his Lord Duke's problems.

Resk looked solemn, and said in a deep voice:
"Dane, in your opinion, what kind of gifts do girls generally like?"

Dane:?
He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

But according to his past experience, Resk doesn't like to repeat what he said twice, so he had to ask tentatively:

"Is the duke going to give the lady a present?"

"No." Resk denied him, "It's for Miriel."

As long as he is free these days, the expression of the girl looking at him eagerly will always appear in front of his eyes.

He thought that if he didn't give her some rewards, then what he would see next time would be her extremely disappointed expression.

He doesn't want to be seen as a bad father.

Dane pondered for a while: "But in the past, didn't your Christmas gifts, Duke, be handed over to the adjutant to choose? Has the plan changed?"

Resker bent his knuckles and knocked on the table: "No, that's not just the Christmas presents. I've lacked a lot of things in Miriam these years, so I have to make up for her, don't I?"

Dane smiled.

He knew that Duke Resk had a warm and soft heart under his seemingly harsh appearance.

So he suggested: "How about this, after Christmas Eve, how about the Duke taking Miss Miriel out to pick out presents in person? I believe Miss Miriel will also like to stay with the Duke."
