The Lost Mermaid [Zhongyingmei]

Who would send such a small cloth bag over?

Doris bent down and picked up the object that appeared in front of her room inexplicably.

Doris is sure that this is not something dropped by Mary or other workers—although the small cloth bag is rough in workmanship, the fabric is high-grade silk.Doris twisted the cloth bag in her hand, her expression gradually became serious.

She leaned out from the bedroom door and looked towards both ends of the corridor.At the end of the corridor are two stained glass windows. The windows were opened by the servants to let in the air, and the sunlight poured in, illuminating the entire corridor very brightly.

The sounds of workers talking and construction came from the roof.

Doris didn't see anyone.

She remembered the weird sound of scratching on the door just now, and turned her head to look at the door of the room—there was no trace on the carved door.

Also, the estate had just been renovated when it came on the circuit the previous two years.Mr. Crawley must have been no stingy in using the best materials.

Holding the cloth bag tightly in her hand, Doris temporarily gave up looking for the culprit and turned back to the room.She slammed the door of the room with a bang and blocked the door with a wheelchair.She faced the window sideways, leaned against the door, and opened the cloth bag in her hand. ——There is a palm-sized "fish scale" inside!

Doris tried her best not to panic, but!Besides her brother and Karl, how could there be a third person who knew her identity!Doris's mind was in a mess, and she was breathing rapidly.

Since the body has been nourished by the heart of the ocean, it has rarely felt such a suffocating feeling.

She came to the bathroom in a panic, turned on the faucet of the bathtub in a hurry, and threw herself into it before the water line rose slowly.She desperately needs the comfort of water.

Doris closed her eyes tightly, forcing herself to calm down and think about how to deal with it?

She was the first to suspect Mary who had just passed away—after Doris and 1900 came to England, she has been taking care of her by her side. It is hard to say whether she will find anything?

But Doris quickly dispelled this doubt. Mary had no position or reason to threaten her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to beat around the bush, and it would be much easier to directly do something in the diet.

She wondered if Karl was deliberately joking with her?But this guess is unreasonable, and no matter where Karl got her scales, there is no need for Karl to make such a joke that scares her. ...

Doris let out a groan in pain, and she excluded everyone who was close to her.They have no reason and position to make such a joke with themselves.

Even Edward Rose had doubts, and Doris didn't think he would know her secret.

The water in the bathtub rose more and more, and the cold water made her body float.Doris' entire body was submerged in the water, but her hearing became extremely sensitive due to the spread of the water and the bathtub.

All kinds of chaotic voices came to her ears, mixed with the violent construction sounds, Doris felt that her head was about to explode.

Suddenly, she heard a conversation:

"Mr. Crowley, I asked my deputy to stay here. I still have an entrustment. I need to go and have a look at it now."

"What? I'm not the only unlucky guy after the storm two days ago?" Patrick asked in surprise.

The chief engineer replied graciously: "Haha, you are so humorous! However, the thunderstorm did have a great impact on the circuit. Several hotels in downtown London were damaged, and I was asked to overhaul it early-but you Your order must come first! I'm just really sorry, we can only come and disturb you so early..."

"It's too late for us to thank you, but can your deputy guarantee a complete repair?"

"Of course! John has long been able to take charge of his own affairs. He has already accepted the letter of appointment from White Star Shipping to become the electrical maintenance officer of the Titanic. You know, this is definitely a great honor!"

"Then I'm relieved." Patrick paused, "By the way, if it's not necessary, keep the workers away from those guest rooms. I have distinguished guests staying there, and they shouldn't be disturbed."

The engineer exclaimed: "Ah! Mr. Crowley, if you had said earlier—I'm sorry, I don't blame you, but John happened to be doing maintenance near the guest room just now!"

"...This is not an example." Patrick had no choice but to say, "If the guest raises a dissatisfaction, I will also hold your subordinates accountable."

"Of course, sir. Thank you for your kindness."

Doris reached out and grabbed the edge of the bathtub.The overflowing water was rushing down, Doris sat up and staggered out of the bathtub.

She had put the cloth bag and scales on the wheelchair earlier. At this time, Doris sat on the flooded floor, lying on the side of the wheelchair, picked up the scales and looked at them carefully.

The malicious person who passed by her door just now is probably that John! ——Doris recalled what happened on the Titanic trial a few days ago. At that time, there was a problem with the line, which caused the captain's notice to be not conveyed to the guests in the lounge in time, which caused an emergency stop. Little panicked.

And this John was hired as the line maintenance man of the Titanic. It was hard for Doris to believe that he was not responsible for this matter.

Doris didn't know when she offended an ordinary electrician like John.

The only possibility - he is not the culprit, but someone hired to do things!

She felt that she had some eyebrows.

This scale must belong to a mermaid, there is no doubt about it, but at this moment, Doris suspected that it might not have fallen from her body!

And the only mermaid she knew and "seen" was Carl's mother.

Doris finally expressed her heart to Karl last night, determined to stay together with mutual trust no matter what difficulties they encountered.Of course she won't break her promise so soon.

However, there is a hidden danger beside Carl that can explode at any time.

Joey Love.

He must have known old Hockley and Carl well for so many years.There's no guarantee he'll know the truth—Carl's mother is a mermaid!He has always opposed the relationship between himself and Karl, if he already knew what happened last night...he will definitely take action!

Doris shuddered, Qiao Yilov's action was too fast!

If it was really him, then the scales that suddenly appeared at the door of her room today could also explain it!

Joey Love is warning her!Keep her away from Carl, or she might reveal her secret to the public!

But what really puzzled Doris was that since John belonged to Joey Love, why did he cause damage during the sea trial that day, and the emergency stop of the ship almost turned into a small disaster?

Doris looked at the scales in her hand, and decided to go to Karl to discuss it clearly.

But for several days, Doris was unable to contact Carl. The letter she wrote to him was like a stone thrown into the deep sea without causing any splashes.

1900 was on the go all day, his band members had already been preliminarily established, and he was busy running around these few days to find job opportunities for his musicians on the Titanic.

Doris was not only anxious because of Carl's loss of news, but also very annoying. She was harassed by Edward Rose every day and wanted to board the ship and leave immediately. The servants in Crawley's manor dared not refuse an earl Heirs, for fear of causing trouble to their masters—fortunately, there is still one day before they will be able to board the Titanic and leave England.

"Miss, Mr. Rose...Here he is again, this time he brought you flowers." Mary's voice came through the door of the piano room, "Shall I put it in the vase for you?"

"Throw it away, Mary." Doris closed the piano cover heavily, and said coldly.

"But..." Mary's voice was extraordinarily hesitant.

"Miss Doris, you are too indifferent to me!"

Doris looked at the closed door, extremely resentful!This Edward Rose came in without the permission of the owner of the manor!Even... It's simply disrespectful!

Doris steered the wheelchair to the door and opened it abruptly.I saw Edward's hand was about to knock on the door of the piano room, and fell towards Doris.

After gaining an experience, and this was not her sweetheart, Doris nimbly manipulated the wheelchair and took a step back.

Edward staggered, grabbed the doorknob in a panic, and almost fell in front of Doris.His face turned red in an instant, he was ashamed and angry, and even cursed a few swear words.

Doris finds him more and more hateful!

Mary awkwardly held a bouquet of bright roses, at a loss.She wanted to throw the flowers down to help the guests, but the delicate lace-bound roses in her hand were so delicate that she hesitated for a moment and didn't throw them down.

Doris didn't care what Edward was planning!At first, she still thought that he was forgiven for interrupting her performance at the ladies' tea party because of pride, and then sincerely apologized several times.

But as if he couldn't understand her avoidance and refusal, he ignored her objection and visited again and again—it could even be said to be harassment!

Doris's patience had long been exhausted, and she didn't care if Edward finally tore off his gentleman's mask and cursed endlessly. Doris turned around and planned to leave through the side door.

Seeing that Doris was full of contempt, Edward didn't give him any eyes at all, and it was fine if he didn't accept flowers, but he turned away completely ignoring his existence?

This woman is shameless!

Edward was about to catch up with a big stride, but suddenly someone grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back!

Without warning, he fell backwards.

He screamed out, before his head came into close contact with the ground, the neckline was grabbed by a bony hand again, and his whole body was thrown to the side. "Carl Hockley!"

"Carl!"

Edward's angry cry and Doris' surprise cheer sounded at the same time.

Carl only glanced at Doris to confirm that she was fine, then turned around and wrestled with Edward, completely ignoring any gentleman's demeanor.

Edward cursed angrily, trying to resist but was punched down by him again.

Edward is conceited that he is considered a leader in Eton, and he is proficient in everything from hunting to horseback riding, but unexpectedly, he met a "rude" American who cared more about exercise than he did—Edward was a noble after all, and nobles never Look down on muscular civilians!

Carl didn't give him any face, he punched to the flesh, and after a while, Edward was so painful that he had no strength to resist.

Doris didn't care how that Edward was injured, her eyes were full of bruises under Carl's eyes and his slightly tired face - he looked like he hadn't slept well for several days!
