Lady Ada

Chin, gestured to the table.

"good idea!"

Sure enough, as Helena said, prices rose to a very alarming level due to resource shortages. Ada had to use the reserve funds of her previous heirs.This was once opposed by the Countess, but the fate of the village is related to the operation of the entire Rhoderick Manor, and this time we must overcome this difficulty.Obviously Ada was puzzled at this point, which was the Countess' intention.No matter how conceited she is, she knows that the source of her living expenses is the village, and the village supplies the manor, and the manor needs to be responsible for the village.But Ada didn't have time to pay attention to the countess for the time being, she had to solve this problem.

These months can be said to be the busiest days for Ada.She runs between the village and her home in London almost every day.It would be a lot less burdensome if she was still living at Roderick Manor.But Ada still chose not to go to Roderick Manor.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening when Ada came home today.She hurried back after dealing with the affairs of the village.

Once home, the maid Marin came to Ada nervously, "Ma'am, the young master is looking for you today. It seems that there is something urgent!"

"What?!" Ada immediately took off her coat and handed it to Marin.Then he quickly walked to the living room, picked up the phone and dialed the newspaper office. No one answered after 3 minutes, it seems that John is gone. "Did he say what it was?" Ada turned to ask Marin.

"No, ma'am. The young master didn't say anything. But he finally said that he was going out with the master tonight." Marin said.

"Okay, thank you." Ada looked down at the phone and dialed the number of Harding's old house. "Hi, I'm Ada. Is it convenient for Mrs. Harding to answer the phone?" Mrs. Harding came to the phone after a short briefing. "Mom, it's me, Ada."

"Ada? Good evening, what's the matter so late?" Mrs. Harding on the phone asked gently.

"I'm sorry, John hasn't come home yet. Marin said he went out with the master to socialize, I want to ask if it's true. Is the master back? I'm sorry...I'm only going home now because of something in the village." Ada said anxiously Said. John never spends all day with her, she's afraid of something urgent.

"Oh, so..." Old Mrs. Harding paused, "Master did go out with John to socialize. They haven't come back yet. I think they are still outside, and they will come back later." Old Mrs. Harding said embarrassingly Calm, she felt that it was normal for her to be late.Of course she didn't know that John had been looking for Ada all day.

"Okay, okay...then I'll wait for him to come back. Sorry to bother you. I'll hang up, Mom. Goodbye."

"Okay, goodbye, Ada."

Well, the current situation can only wait for John to come back and ask him. Ada wondered if John wanted to go to the laboratory or something and wanted Ada's helper to lie and turn away the party.If she couldn't help John, Ada would feel very guilty. After all, she was somewhat afraid of this marriage, afraid that John would really die because of her prophecy.

"Coax——coax——" bursts of loud thunder pierced the sky, and then heavy rain poured down. Ada immediately came to the window, and the heavy rain fell from the sky like a flood.At this moment, the servants shouted from behind her, and the sudden heavy rain made them unable to move quickly.Close the windows, take back the things hanging outside, and the house is no different from a mess in an instant.Raindrops as big as beads fell on the window, and the water chains flowing down from the eaves formed a water curtain.The windows were slapped and rattled, and for some reason Ada felt that this was a bad omen, especially since John wasn't home yet.

The heavy rain continued until midnight, and now there is still a little bit of light rain falling. Ada also finally fell asleep.......

"Ma'am! Ma'am! Get up!"

"Um... what..."

"Ma'am! Ma'am! Get up!"

"What...what..." Ada struggled to open her eyes, the glare from the desk lamp forced Ada to squint her eyes uncomfortably, is it still night? "Ma, Marin what, what is it?"

"I don't know! Mrs. Harding called, she said it was urgent, you go downstairs and listen." Marin still shook Ada nervously.

"Okay..." Ada got up quickly, put on the nightgown Marin handed her, and ran down the lobby on the first floor. "It's me, Ada! Is there anything important, Mom?"

"Yes! Ada! Master and John are in the hospital! You, you, come here! They had a car accident!"

In an instant, Ada seemed to stop breathing, something she didn't want to happen happened...God!Please help John!Get him through this!

September 1919

On a summer morning, John, who had been lying unconscious in the hospital, was finally declared dead due to internal organ failure.Ada locked herself in the master bedroom that night.It was dark all around, Ada didn't turn on any lights, darkness invaded the room.She sat on the sofa blankly, thinking about everything in a trance, poor John died because of her.Their brief past flashes before Ada's eyes like a movie.She stood up slowly, because she was a little dizzy when she stood up because she had been sitting for too long. Ada staggered to go to the dresser to turn on the light, but in the dark her foot was kicked.After a while of groping, the light was turned on after a "pop!" Ada saw her own face in front of the mirror, her face was as pale as a piece of white paper.There were waves of chills, and it was obviously summer, but it couldn't feel any warmth.She couldn't help but think of those terrible tarot cards and horrible prophecies, how long will this prophecy be with her!

The funeral was held in the hot summer, with a gust of hot wind blowing and a gust of sweltering heat. Ada's whole head was in a mess, and she came to this place in a daze.People all had sad expressions. Old Mr. Harding always thought it was his fault. He was the driver that day. He was drunk and driving. In addition, it was raining and the road was very slippery... John once persuaded him to let him Find a driver, or take a taxi home, but Mr. Harding insists on driving himself.Now old Mr. Harding needs support as much as old Mrs. Harding.Their only son survived the war but lost his life because of something like this.And Ada is not, not only because of that prophecy.It turned out that John kept calling Ada that day because he wanted Ada to help him turn down the party.It would have helped John if she had come home earlier that day...

Ada came to John's coffin with small mechanical steps, knelt down unsteadily.She stared blankly at John's face, she blamed herself immensely.Suddenly, a leaf fell and it landed in John's coffin. Ada gently picked up the fallen leaves, which wasn't something that should happen in summer, but it really fell, just like John.If I hadn't married John, maybe he wouldn't have died... Poor John...

Suddenly a hand rested lightly on Ada's shoulder, Ada slowly turned her head to see that it was Helena, she was here. Helena stretched out her hands to help Ada up. "Miss Ada..." Helena shook her head sadly. "Come on..." She supported Ada and walked to Mr. Harding and the old lady.

Then everyone began to listen quietly to the pastor's funeral mass for John.At this moment, in the corner of Ada's eyes, he spotted Leon standing in the distance. Ada's family also came out of courtesy, and now Leon is standing with Liz.In the distance, the summer leaves are sparse and falling, like unstoppable sadness. Ada suddenly thought that if she hadn't married John, it might be Leon lying in the coffin.Thinking of this hesitation suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley, the tears that had been stopped fell again, and she buried her head on Helena's shoulder and wept silently.She couldn't forgive herself for being so selfish. At this moment, she still thought from the bottom of her heart that it wasn't Leon lying down, and everything was worth it.

It has been 10 months since John passed away.During these 10 months Ada was filled with guilt.She filed for divorce without taking any of her estate.Mr. Harding and the old woman also respected Ada's decision very much.This surprised Ada a lot.But in fact, the marriage between her and John is also what each needs, not because the two people really love each other.Of course, it still couldn't alleviate the guilt in Ada's heart.

Now that Ada has moved back to Roderick Manor, Helena has returned to be her maid again. Charlie remains in the village.Although Ada felt that moving back was a last resort, it was undoubtedly to lighten the workload.Because it only takes 15 minutes to drive from the manor to the village.
