Sue was dumbfounded.
She never dreamed that her lazy and playful brother, after 6 months of tempering, would undergo a radical change.
The ignorant, arrogant, and domineering young man has quickly faded away, replaced by a humble and resolute man.
This made her heart, which was still a little sad, suddenly feel a little more relieved and joyful!
Hillsprings Old Town.
The house where Chris lived with his parents when he was young is now completely new.
Gemelli, put a lot of effort into renovating and rebuilding this old house bit by bit. Although everything looks the same as it did back then, it seems that the time has been pulled back 20 years ago.
During her period of living here, she lived very relaxedly every day. She read books, drank tea, cultivated calligraphy in this old house every day, and patiently took care of the flowers and trees in the yard in her free time. This way, she had a great time.
During this period of time, Cyril has been on the pilgrimage, and Sue often travels around for work, and rarely has time to come back to accompany her, but for Gemelli, such a solitary life makes her extremely satisfied.
Although she was also worried about Cyril, she also knew that this was Chris's punishment for him. Chris would not spare him lightly, but he would definitely protect his safety.
This is not a judgment based on her understanding of Chris but based on her understanding of Chris's father, Merlin.
Merlin was such a person. Although he had thunderous means, he would definitely use both kindness and power. He would not leave room for real enemies, and would definitely spare him a chance for enemies who were not guilty of death.
It is a long way for her son to go to the temple, and it is inevitable that he will encounter dangers if he eats and sleeps in the open. but it is precisely because of her understanding of Merlin that she firmly believes that Chris will definitely bring her son back alive.
and she did not guess wrong, although Chris made Cyril go on a pilgrimage to the temple with bloody wrists and no mercy, but he still told the Arthur family to protect him secretly.
and there was 1 thing she didn't guess wrong, that is, when she heard her daughter say that she wanted to ask Chris to let her brother come back to attend her father's wedding, she firmly believed that Chris would not refuse.
At this time, she was ready, with a change of clothes, a set of toiletries, a jar of warm water, and a table of meals, waiting for Cyril's arrival at home.
Although she had always been calm in her heart, when she heard the sound of brakes outside the door, she pushed the door open and ran out with some difficulty concealing her excitement.
Outside the door, Sue's car had just stopped, and the brother and sister got out of the car together.
Across the wrought iron gate, when Cyril saw his mother, tears rolled down again.
Gemelli couldn't help but have red eyes.
Cyril pushed open the door, stepped in front of his mother, suddenly knelt down on his knees, and cried, "Mom… I know I'm wrong!"
Gemelli was still distressed by her son's downcast appearance, but it can be seen that the son suddenly knelt down to admit his mistake, and was not consciously startled, and then quickly pulled him up, choked up in his mouth and said "Get up, you are right, mom never blamed you…"
Regarding Cyril's decision back then, Gemelli's point of view is the same as that of her daughter Sue.
A wealthy family is like an ancient imperiale palace, and Cyril never murdered her mother and sister, but just stood against them for self-protection and the future. This is completely understandable and even tolerated.
In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, many members of the imperial family and heirs of wealthy families, because of their interests, they have long been familiar with each other.
At this time, Cyril was still kneeling on the ground, with tears streaming down his face but said in a very firm voice "I disregarded the life and death of my mother and younger sister, and only cared about my own future. This is inhumane and unrighteous. Unfaithful and unfilial!"
Gemelli said seriously "Mom can understand what you said, and you can't help yourself, so I don't blame you."
However, Cyril continued to speak loudly "Wrong is wrong! Anything involuntary is an excuse!"
"I could have chosen to stand with mom and sister, and I could have chosen to seek justice for you."
"but I chose the wrong to disregard your life and death and only focus on pursuing my own interests!"
Gemelli was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and said seriously
"Alright, you were wrong, but now you can realize that you were wrong. Well, Mom is already very relieved, knowing right and wrong, you are worthy of your name."
After speaking, Gemelli said again "Cyril, you finally came back, time is limited, you can't just kneel here all the time."
"The bath water has been prepared for you, you go to take a bath 1st, and then accompany us to have a homely meal, the 3 of us have a good chat."
Sue on the side also stepped forward to persuade "Yes Brother, it's not easy for you to come back this time, and it's better to spend more time with mom than to kneel here."
Then Cyril wiped away her tears, stood up, followed her mother, and entered the set of leaves. The old house where Chris lived when he was young.
Gemelli took him directly to the bathroom, where the bathtub was already filled with water, and the toiletries and happy clothes were neatly placed aside.
Gemelli said to him "Cyril, Mom has prepared new clothes for you, as well as toiletries and a razor, but nothing to cut your hair."
"I think your hair is quite long, why don't you go out and find a hairdresser in the afternoon?"
Cyril shook his head and said, "I want to grow hair for 3 years, but it's only 1/2 a year now."
"3 years?" Gemelli said in surprise "Boys are still Don't grow hair too long, not to mention the harsh conditions of your journey, and it's not easy to take care of such long hair."
Cyril said seriously "Mom, last month, I met a couple on the road. They, similar to me, also wanted to go on a pilgrimage to the temple."
"but they were faster than me, so we were only traveling together for a short time. In 2 days, I couldn't keep up with their speed."
"The reason why the couple went on a pilgrimage was to pray for their son who died of leukemia to have a good pregnancy in the next life and not suffer from disease and suffering in his life."
"I heard they talked about the suffering their son suffered before he died, and they felt very uncomfortable."
"so they wanted to store their hair and shave it off after 3 years and donate it to make wigs for children who lost their hair due to chemotherapy. I want to do the same…"
Gemelli's eyes were filled with tears in an instant, she really didn't expect that her son would have such a big change She raised this son for more than 20 years, imagined that her son might achieve nothing in his life and also imagined that he might achieve a career in the world immediately, but she never thought that her son would be able to say such a thing in this life.
Sue, who was standing at the door, was also in tears at this time.
So, she said, "Brother, why don't I donate some money to set up a charity fund in your name to help those children with leukemia…"
Cyril turned to look at her and said with a smile "Sue, of course, it's Alright for you to do good deeds, but don't use my name, I can't bear it."
He sighed again "After I arrive at the temple and complete my redemption, I will do my best. I can do something for them myself."
Sue couldn't help asking "Brother, it will take you a year to go to the temple, right?"
Cyril said with a smile "If I could go as faster as the day before, I might arrive in 8 months!"
