Lady Ada

Chapter 19

situation.

September 1917

Ada's child Charlie is one year old, and now he can already understand some meanings of adults.It has to be said that Charlie is simply a copy of Leon, although Ada has never seen a picture of Leon when he was a child.Except for his dark brown hair and dark blue eyes, his appearance is not much different from Leon. Emma told Ada that children are the most fun at this time, they will obey almost all your instructions. Emma sometimes even spends the day at home playing with Charlie.

Leon has been missing for over a year, having missed his child's first birthday.Obviously, everyone has been disheartened by the current situation, and they don't want to hold any hope.Later, Ada also received news that Leon's brother also died in the war.Although Leon's body was not found, everyone almost acquiesced to a certain fact.It seems that the Kennedy family is facing a more serious dilemma than the Redfield family.During this time, Ada still did not disclose the child's affairs.She would think that if one day, when she received the news of Leon's death, she would abandon everything here and take Charlie to seek refuge with his grandparents in the United States.

Now Ada occasionally goes back to Roderick's Manor to check on the situation at home. Earl Leemans became interested in things with the village, and Ada thought he wanted to make up for his gambling mistakes, although he still owed money.The Countess has become even meaner since Chris died, reclusive. Liz is presumably the one who has changed the least, still living her rich social life.Although many men have joined the army, even Ada doesn't understand why there are different men around her.

But one day, Emma excitedly told Ada that things had a breakthrough! Leon didn't die, he survived the war!It is said that their army was trapped in an uninhabited cave and could not leave because of heavy snow.After that, many soldiers were lost when they left.During another difficult journey, they encountered enemy troops. Fortunately, the remaining soldiers were helped by villagers in a village.Anyway, everything is very twists and turns!Now Leon is even in hospital in London, where he is said to have been for a few days. Ada couldn't wait to go to the hospital. Emma said that if she didn't have an important trip to Cambridge, she would definitely go with Ada.

After arriving at the hospital, Ada finally came to Leon's ward after many inquiries.At this moment, Ada's heart was very excited, and she tightly clutched the deformed handkerchief in her hand.For more than a year she had not given up the belief that Leon was still alive.Now she is as if her dream has come true, extremely excited and nervous. Ada breathed heavily, and after adjusting her mood, she finally pushed open the door of the ward that separated them.

Leon's ward is a single room, because Ada can't see any other patients, even when Ada gave birth and was hospitalized, she was with other mothers.But when Ada came to the hospital bed, she found that the situation in front of her was very discordant.That's right, apart from Leon's parents, the Duke and Duchess of Henley, Leon's own parents and Liz were surrounded by Leon's hospital bed!What are they doing here? ! Ada walked over slowly, obviously the people beside the bed were also very surprised by Ada's arrival.

"Ada?! Why are you here?" Earl Leemans looked at Ada in surprise.

"I...uh..." Ada's eyes drifted, she first looked at Earl Leemans, and then at Leon who was already awake. His complexion looked good, mainly she wanted to ask Leon for help, let him Explain why you are here.

"Who is this...miss...?" Leon frowned as if he didn't know Ada at all, and looked at Ada in surprise.

"You, you, what are you doing?!" Apparently, the words that Leon spit out were definitely not what Ada expected.She has thought about any situation, such as disfigurement, serious injury, loss of some body parts, but this is absolutely out of her mind! Leon's condition is like amnesia!That's right, amnesia!He doesn't remember everything with himself! Ada suddenly felt dizzy as if she lacked oxygen, she couldn't accept the fact in front of her!The reunion with Leon made her wait for more than a year!

"...Ada? You, are you okay?" Earl Leemans asked carefully from the side.

Ada swallowed heavily, shook her head in pain, and did not answer Earl Leemans' words.

Then the Duke of Henley, the Duchess, the Earl of Leemans, the Countess and Liz talked about their affairs even when Ada was transparent.

"The doctor said that Leon's condition is quite good. I think the wedding can be held earlier." The Duchess said excitedly. From the expression on her face, it seemed that the news that Leon was alive made her extremely happy.

"My God, I think our relatives are very happy about this!" Duke Henley was also quite excited, causing his long beard to move. "Fortunately, Leon still remembers our two elders..."

"Yes, there has been so much sadness lately...my poor Jay..." the Duchess thought of her eldest son.

"Haha, yes yes..." Earl Leemans was also very happy, "We have both lost sons... It seems that our two families are really very similar..."

"Yes." The Countess said from the side: "But I believe Leon and Liz will be happy! They are like a destined couple! They are a perfect match!"

"I think so too!" the Duchess exclaimed, "I think the wedding would be best held in Liverpool, where we were also married..." She looked at Duke Henley.

"Really? That's really great, isn't it?" Liz exclaimed from the side, and then looked at Leon affectionately, "We've worked so hard for so long to finally get to this point, Leon. ..”

"Wait, wait... You said, you mean they are going to get married?!" Ada pointed at Leon and Liz in great surprise.

"Oh! Obviously yes!" The Duchess turned her head to look at Ada, and she smiled politely at Ada, "This must be Miss Liz's sister, Miss Ada? Haha, this is really a happy thing !"

"But...I..." Ada immediately turned her gaze to Leon, but Leon looked back at her full of doubts, as if hesitating to speak.The anger burned in his head for a moment, Ada took a deep breath and said to Leon coldly: "Do you really remember nothing?"

"I, I..." Leon said guiltily, shaking his head resignedly as if he was the victim, "I'm sorry I really don't remember. Miss, if I forget something very important Hope you can tell me."

Ada turned her head and sneered, "Congratulations!" After speaking, she rushed out the door without looking back.

Autumn was originally a season full of enthusiasm. The green leaves began to turn yellow, and there were abundant fruits everywhere. Even the wind blowing was warm.However, Ada couldn't feel it at all. She hesitated and jumped into the indifferent winter, wandering around in the cold wind and heavy snow, far away from hope and belonging.The person she had been missing had completely forgotten her.Now Ada came to the park near the hospital in a daze, and she just sat on the bench like this.She forgot how many passers-by asked her if she needed help, and then she thought how ugly her face must be. Ada believes that she has always been strong and will not give up easily when encountering difficulties. Ada kept thinking back to the moment in the hospital, why didn't she reveal her relationship with Leon?Loudly tell everyone that Leon has proposed to himself!There are even children!

So is it meant to be?Hmph, Ada couldn't help sneering, she felt her back starting to feel cold.Because she recalled the fortune teller Sherry Birkin who had fortunetized for her a few years ago.That's right, Mr. Rocha's tarot card awakened Ada's memory!She would meet a wonderful love, and she met Leon on the way to America.Two relatives left me, presumably my aborted child and Chris.In the end, Sherry Birkin predicted that Ada's husband would die unexpectedly, but Leon did not die, because he was not his future husband at all!Maybe, maybe Ada should think from another perspective, if Leon wasn't her husband, he wouldn't need to die.That's right, at least Leon is alive, and living is better than anything else... Thinking about it, the tears he had been suppressing fell silently.Just in this deserted park, this time she never got Leon's warm embrace...

After Emma and Helena found out about this incident, they complained for Ada.They all thought that Ada shouldn't do this, but obviously Emma didn't know the language, and Helena probably forgot about it. Emma said she swore to testify for Ada, proving that Ada and L
