Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 77 Bloodlines

"I used to think that the ladies in the south can do nothing but pretend and pretend to be weak, but later I met Lanli and found that this is not the case." Dison was not angry when he was scolded, but put out his cigarette instead, "Frankly speaking, I am very I admire your courage and eloquence. Now I am more firm in my opinion, you are as courageous as my wife, Mrs. Butler." He had to praise in his heart, that kid Ritter has good eyesight.

"How do you know about me..." Scarlett's question stopped abruptly in the middle of her sentence. She knew that she didn't need to ask any more, because Deason took out the portrait of Angela from her pocket.

"This is the portrait you told me about being taken away by your husband?" Lan Li snatched the small photo from Disen's hand, and she couldn't help but shed tears after a while. Wet that photo paper.Dison hesitated for a moment, but still took out his handkerchief and handed it to her, Lan Li did not refuse.

"If I remember correctly, this is your sister, right?" After Lanli wiped away her tears, Deason asked her carefully, "She is also named Angela. You gave it to Angela to commemorate her." took the same name."

"Yeah, she is Angela, Angela is her. They are just one person, my Angela, resurrected on Angela." Lan Li was very emotional, and did not notice Disson's gloomy face.

"It's a pity that it's not just Angela who was resurrected, but also Angela's illness." Disson's tone was severe, completely overriding their delicate relationship at this time, like accusing someone who had nothing to do with him but did something stupid . "Don't you see that those red spots on Angela's body are exactly the same as when your sister died?"

"What, why didn't I know?" Lan Li's tone was full of surprise, "When Angela died, my God, I passed out at that time, and I didn't know at all. The spots on her body, I thought they were staying in the north How could it be that terrible disease again?" Her eyes were full of fear, which seemed to spill out if she was not careful, even Scarlett was affected by her, and she wanted to ask Forget about Rhett.

"What do you know?" Deason was completely blunt, "Do you know what kind of disease it is, or do you know that the disease requires long-term treatment? Forget it, of course you don't know, otherwise you wouldn't take Angie with you no matter how much you hated me." La ran away. I hope you will tell me calmly now, don’t lie, why did you take Angela away?”

"I just don't want to see Angela become a wild girl. She is a lady, but your brother asks her to learn how to ride a horse and hunt. I don't know what you think. If I don't take her away, Maybe next time you'll teach her to fight and kill."

"My God! Is that your reason?" Dison was angry at first, but after hearing what Lan Li said, he smiled inexplicably, "Kevin is thinking of her, she is too weak, if she doesn't participate more If you exercise and exercise—the devil knows when your family's damn disease will attack—she will definitely not be able to survive then. Are you seeing her really become a second Angela?"

"What are you talking about, it's for her own good?" Lan Li would rather listen to Disson say that those things were for revenge on her than believe that those things were for Angela's body, but she stupidly interrupted its progress . "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She also knew that this was nonsense, but she asked it anyway.

"Have you heard what I've said for so many years?" Disen originally wanted to sneer at her stupid things, but seeing that Lan Li blamed herself like a child who made a mistake, he wanted to scold her I forgot all the words. "Okay, I can't blame you for this. I'm also responsible. Don't be too sad." He stretched out his hand to tidy up Lan Li's hair, but he retracted halfway.

"It's useless for you to sit here and complain about each other. You should think about how to cure Angela's illness." Scarlett witnessed everything, and the bystander clearly put forward the most practical suggestions.

"Now it's up to Kevin." Disson sighed, looking at the closed door upstairs with a serious expression. "I don't know what the disease is called or what its origin is."

The door opened suddenly, and Kevin came out with a strange expression on his face.Dison reacted the fastest, and immediately rushed upstairs to ask how the situation was going.For some reason, Kevin didn't answer immediately, but looked downstairs carefully, and then whispered a few words in Disson's ear.Scarlett wondered at first why they had to do so much—by looking at Kevin's expression, everyone knew that something must have happened, and he deliberately made a secret appearance to cover it up—but she found that Deason's expression after hearing it was like that of Kevin. Wen looked in the mirror, even weirder than his.She really didn't understand what these two people were doing.She looked at Lan Li, she was also in the same fog as herself.

Kevin went in again without forgetting to close the door.Dison walked down the stairs, his face gradually calmed down.He ignored Lanli's anxious eyes and inquiries, but kept staring at Scarlett, as if he wanted to say something to her, but he couldn't find a suitable way to say it.

"What's going on, why are you staring at Scarlett all the time?" Lan Li finally couldn't help it, and stopped him.That persistent look made her feel very uncomfortable. To be precise, it should be called jealousy.

"It's nothing dear. Angela's illness can be cured by Kevin, so you don't have to worry." Although Deason was talking to Lanli, he still looked at Scarlett.Of course, he also noticed the abnormality in Lan Li's tone and he didn't object to calling her "dear", but now is not the time to think about these things, so he tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and switched to a more gentle tone. Belle said, "Mrs. Butler, I would like to ask you a few questions. Is it convenient for you?"

"Ask me?" Scarlett didn't expect that she would be involved. Just now, Disson's gaze made her a little flustered, but now it was all replaced by surprise.

"To be precise, Kevin asked me to ask you." He explained, "That boy named Jack, he is not American, right? He wants to know if he has stayed in the north before, how did he come?" Came to the South."

"Why do so many of you have trouble with a child?" Scarlett was completely confused, and she spoke in a complaining tone. "Forget it, you're right, he's not an American, he's..." Scarlett told everything she knew about Jack, but she concealed all her guesses. Dison twisted the two eyebrows bit by bit so that they could not be distinguished from each other.

"So the rumors are not just speculation." After listening to it, Disson moved his eyes to where he didn't know, and said something to himself, and then immediately reacted, and asked Scarlett: "You just said, he didn't I remember what I was in the north before, and I forgot how I came to the south, is this true?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask him later." Scarlett couldn't understand the distrust in his tone, and she didn't bother to describe to him how Jack had worked tirelessly to retrieve his memory.She also felt that there was no point in doing that, but she couldn't say anything after seeing Jack working so hard.Now she doesn't spend too much time thinking about things she doesn't understand, but if someone wants to do it, just do it. She used to laugh at those people in her heart for being stupid, but now she feels that Jack is so tireless. Do have their own reasons.

"It may take a long time. Kevin told me just now that he is hypnotizing Angela." Disen heard her dissatisfaction, but ignored it, and just told her the objective facts calmly.

"Why do you want to hypnotize again? Didn't you use it last time?" Lan Li asked in surprise.

"Maybe it's to replace anesthesia." Deason remained calm.

Lan Li immediately understood the implication of this sentence: "Anesthesia? My God, won't there be an operation? What kind of disease is that?"

"You should really thank you for the great tradition of your noble family." Disson was waiting for this sentence, and he couldn't help but satirize the Stoke family. "If the fat and water don't flow into other people's fields, all the seedlings in my own land will be burned."

"What do you mean?" Lan Li couldn't bear bad things about her family.

"In order to maintain your so-called pure bloodline, cousins ​​are paired forever, and families are married. That's what I mean." Di Sen's tone was very rude.

"What's wrong with that?" Lan Li glared at him angrily.

"Maybe you don't think there's anything wrong, but it's wrong." Deason stared back without showing any weakness, "Kevin has been blaming himself for not curing your sister all these years. When he returned to the north, he checked the information and asked again. Many people later found out that your sister's illness at that time was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Because it is a genetic disease that only occurs when close relatives marry, once you get it, it may not be cured for the rest of your life. One stitch will do the trick."

"Do you think I'll believe you if you talk nonsense?" Lan Li retorted guiltily. She remembered what she had heard from Mammy before. There was an unfortunate incident in the family where someone died of a similar strange disease.

"It's fine if you don't believe me. You can ask Kevin when he comes down." From her expression, Disen could see that she was just being stubborn, and his goal had been achieved, so he didn't argue with her any more.

"Forget it, the two of you are not out of the same nostrils, it's strange that you can get the truth out of his mouth." Lan Li deliberately put on a dismissive look, trying to say something powerful to refute, But Scarlett stopped her while she was searching.

"Lanli, he's right." Because of Lanli's relationship, Scarlett didn't know how to address Disson, so she had to use the third person instead. Fortunately, this did not prevent her from speaking a fair word. "Someone told me before that cousin marriage is not good for children's health." Scarlett remembered the conversation between Mrs. Tarleton and her father Gerald many years ago. It was before the war. During the banquet at the Oak Manor.She doesn't quite remember Mrs. Tarleton's exact words—she was still wondering how to get Ashley to confess to her—but she said, "My cousins ​​who married The children all look like bulging-eyed cow babies," which impressed her deeply.But even if she remembered this sentence clearly, it was hard to say it directly, so she took it all down.In fact, she didn't fully believe what Deason said. Ashley and Melanie were not cousins, but Xiaobo looked very healthy.
