Chapter 8 Why are you stuttering?

The door was opened by an extremely beautiful woman with blond shoulder-length curly hair, light blue eyes, and red lips.Even though the corners of her eyes seemed wrinkled, it still couldn't stop her beauty.She was very similar to what Charlotte saw on the river, and she knew it was a mother and daughter at a glance. This was the Ava Strange that Severus said, her mother.

"Charlie (Charlie, Charlotte's nickname)! Where the hell have you been? It's so late!" Ava growled tremblingly when she saw Charlotte. As if you've already cried.

"I...I..." Charlotte was a little confused by the yelling.

Seeing Charlotte's timid look, Ava felt sad, knelt down and hugged Charlotte in her arms and cried again, she said: "I'm sorry, Charlie, mom shouldn't kill you, mom is too worried about you It's gone." God knows how scared she was when she just returned home and found that there was no one at home.

"It's...it's okay...Mom..." Charlotte actually felt very nervous. She didn't feel nervous when she communicated with a boy she didn't know for the first time today. Facing this woman who should be her mother, she felt nervous. Very nervous.And she couldn't call her mother a little bit, and she didn't know why.

"Charlie...what's the matter with you..." Ava felt that the daughter in front of her was not the same as usual.Her daughter was lively and cute when she was a child, but after Batty started beating her, she became more and more silent, didn't like to talk, and even...hadn't called her mother for a long time...

"I...I..." Charlotte was at a loss for words, she had to tell this woman what happened to her today, this is her mother, "I don't remember anything...I fell from...from the sky today down..."

The woman listened, yelled "My God", pulled Charlotte away, and checked her up and down, left and right. "Are you feeling sick?"

"No...no, I...I don't feel...at all." Charlotte wanted to cover her face, she didn't look like she was all right when she spoke, she didn't know that she would stutter when she was nervous !

Sure enough, the woman looked in disbelief, "Xia Li, my Xia Li, what's wrong with your talking! Why are you stuttering!"

When Charlotte heard the word "stammer", she wanted to laugh for some reason, and then she actually laughed, which calmed down her nervous heart instead.She pushed the woman's hand covering her face away, and said to her seriously: "I'm fine, I don't hurt at all, it's just... I don't remember anything now, I don't remember who I am, and I don't... remember I can't... I'm sorry."

"I can't remember! This won't work. You may have fallen on your head. I have to take you to the hospital tomorrow." The woman wiped her tears and looked at Charlotte with a frown.

"I don't think it's necessary..."

"No! You must go and see! Anyway, I resigned today... I paid the last month's salary, and it has not been taken away by your father. I will take you directly to the hospital in the town center tomorrow." The woman said firmly to Charlotte Special said.

Charlotte heard the word "Dad" and remembered the fat man she saw when she just woke up.She took a closer look at the woman's hair in front of her—blond, the fat man's hair—brown, her own hair—black...and she really didn't resemble the fat man at all.

"Is he really my father? The fat man I saw for the first time today..." Charlotte asked, "He...he called me a monster." A father she never expected to say word.

"He's the monster!" The woman snorted angrily, "Don't listen to him. You are mother's baby! He...he won't be your father in a while, he's your stepfather..."

It turned out that it was really not her own, and Charlotte suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, this is not her father, and her father should be a cuddly demon, eh?Why Hugging Maniac?Could it be the one who loves hugs?

"What about my biological father?"

"He died before you were born. An accident took his life away. I took you wandering outside for a while. I married your stepfather two months after you were born...I want you Life is better, he used to be the owner of the tavern, and he is not like... now..."

The woman's expression was very sad, and Charlotte felt that she had punctured her sadness, which made her feel a little guilty.She just wanted to say sorry, but the woman suddenly cheered up and said, "Charlie, I have decided to leave your stepfather. I met a lot of good people, and they let me know that I can also rely on my own efforts. You have a good time."

Charlotte is happy for her, it's better for such a person to leave early!But her biological one died before she was born... Then why did she have the consciousness that her father was embracing a madman... Sure enough, it is not surprising that there is nothing today!

At this time, Charlotte's stomach suddenly bulged, she was hungry...

"Oh, look at my memory, I actually told you so much at the door. I should let you eat first, sorry, Charlie. Come, follow me to the kitchen."

The woman got up and led Charlotte through a corridor. In the corridor, there was a whole rack of dilapidated wine cabinets with all kinds of wine bottles on them, just bottles.There is a staircase at the end of the corridor. There is a room with a tightly closed door on the lower left of the stairs, and the kitchen is on the right.

Compared to the mess in the corridor, the kitchen is unexpectedly clean, and traces of the owner's frequent use can be seen.The kitchen is small, but there is a small table against the wall, two small round stools, and even a small bouquet of flowers in a small wine bottle on the table.Charlotte could even see drops of water dripping from the petals.

"Charlie, mom brought a fresh little cake from outside today..." After Ava let Charlotte sit down, she took out a well-packed little cake from a black paper bag and put it in Charlotte's mouth. on the small plate in front of Tet. "To celebrate your birthday."

Today is actually my birthday... what date is it?Charlotte was not impressed at all.She took a bite of the small cake. There was very little cream, but it was a little sweet and greasy, and it felt a little rough.But this sweetness is not so annoying, on the contrary, it is sweet to Charlotte's heart.

"It's delicious, thank you." Charlotte wiped her creamy mouth.

"You really don't remember anything, Charlie."

Ava put the dirty dishes in the sink and sat back across from Charlotte.Even when her daughter was lively before, she was never so polite...

"I don't remember. Except for what happened after I fell down today." Charlotte looked into Ava's eyes and said seriously.

"Your eyes!" Ava exclaimed, and then Ava saw Charlotte's eyes carefully, and the color changed!

Charlotte touched the corners of her eyes. She didn't know why the color of her eyes changed. "I don't know why. Maybe it happened after I fell off today."

"Did it fall from upstairs... No, I must take you to the hospital tomorrow! This is too worrying." After finishing her sentence, Ava has already started planning tomorrow's itinerary.

Although Charlotte didn't have much resistance to going to the hospital, he would definitely be sad when he thought of the appointment with Severus falling apart like this...

"Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?" Charlotte asked.

Ava was stunned. It was the first time she heard Charlotte say that she was going to go to school, and she was usually the one who persuaded her to go... Could it be that this fall wiped out all her personality and hobbies...

"Go to the hospital first! After you go there, you are really fine. Mom will take you to see Teacher Helen."

"Ms. Helen?"

"You don't remember her... She is a very good and kind teacher. She came to me before and said that you are actually a smart child and should be educated."

In other words, this teacher Helen is indeed a very good teacher, after all, Severus said that she is the tail end of class F, and she can even say that she is smart.Charlotte sighed, there was really no way to keep the agreement with Severus tomorrow.

"You want to go to school that much?" Ava looked at Charlotte's regretful and tangled expression, and couldn't help asking.

"No... I made an appointment with my friend, and he will wait for me to go to school with him tomorrow." Charlotte pursed her lips and said disappointedly.

"Friend? Didn't you forget?" Ava asked in confusion.Besides, she had never heard of Charlotte having friends. At that time, Teacher Helen told her that Charlotte was also very withdrawn at school.

"A friend I just met today. His name is Severus Snape." Charlotte explained.

"I know him." Also a poor child, Ava once met his father in the tavern, "There is also... I have met him, and his personality doesn't seem easy to get along with."

"It's okay." Charlotte felt that although Severus' mouth was a little unforgiving sometimes, his heart was not that bad, but the situation was not very good. In fact, she knew it just by looking at Severus' clothes, no Well-fitting clothes, thin and frail body, and slightly purple lips, it doesn't look like she is being taken care of well.

I made a decision!I'm going to take good care of Severus!Charlotte made a decision for herself.

"I'll be nice to him!" Charlotte vowed.

Ava laughed, "Then treat him well." For her daughter's first friend (yes, the first friend since she was a child), Ava is also willing to treat her with the greatest kindness, and that boy is indeed The experience was not good, and the thin and small body looked malnourished.

"Tomorrow I promised to go to school with him...Will he think I have no credit?" Charlotte was a little worried.

"How about Mommy coming with you to apologize to him tomorrow morning? I'll make an extra sandwich as well!" Ava suggested.

"Okay..." Charlotte felt that this was indeed a good method. "Then...the stepfather?"

"Don't worry about him, he won't come back tonight..." Ava knew that Batty would not see anyone in the evening, and it was even more impossible to see his people that night.

"That's the best!"

"It's very late, you go to the bathroom to wash up." Ava finished speaking before realizing that her daughter didn't remember anything, "Come on, I'll take you there." She decided to take her daughter to the bathroom.

The bathroom is on the second floor, and there is a living room when you go up the stairs, but there are some messy cabinets, chairs and the like. Ava introduced: "This is something from your stepfather's previous tavern. It's too old and sold. If you don’t go out, they will be piled up here.”

She pointed to the door on the right side of the open space again, and there was actually a round mistletoe wreath hanging on the door, "That's our bedroom, after you take a shower, you can go to sleep directly."

"This is the bathroom." After entering the door on the left of the open space, there is a small bathroom. Although the style is very old, the supplies are still complete. There are some buckets and basins piled up in the corner of the bathroom. wooden.

Ava saw the wooden basin with some nostalgia, "This is the basin I used to bathe you when you were young. Since you were 5 years old, you don't want me to bathe you anymore." She touched it. Touching Charlotte's head, "Do you need me to wash it for you today?"

"...No need..." She just lost her memory, not even how to take a shower.

Ai Wa is a little pity, other people's 8-year-old children are still mischievous and willful at home, but hers used to be quiet, although they look more lively now, they still behave like a little adult.

"Then I'll go wash the dishes first."

After taking a shower and changing into the pajama skirt that Ava gave her, Charlotte quickly ran into the bedroom. Because it was too cold, she felt that the whole room seemed to have many gaps leaking air.

There is a small heater in the bedroom, which is placed near the bed. Ava has already turned it on when she was taking a shower. She stood beside it for a while before she felt her body warming up slowly, and then she got into the cold room. bed.

After a while, Ava arrived, holding a corked wine bottle wrapped in a towel in her hand, and she placed the wine bottle next to Charlotte's feet in the bed , Charlotte's feet felt warm all of a sudden, she couldn't help rubbing her feet against the source of warmth, probably because she accidentally rubbed the towel crookedly, and her feet were scalded by the hot wine bottle.

"Don't rub the thermos all the time." Ava looked helplessly at Charlotte, whose face was wrinkled into a ball, "You see, even if you forget it, this bad habit just can't be changed."

Charlotte smiled embarrassingly, and buried her face in the pillow. She carefully fished the thermos bottle into her arms with her feet, fixed the towel with her hands, and then stomped back to the previous position. This time, her feet were quietly placed beside her.

After a lot of tossing, the bed was finally warmed up.After a while, Ava was also wearing pajamas and quickly climbed into the bed. Charlotte immediately felt the warmth of Ava's body.

Ava reached out and turned off the bedside light, Charlotte's eyes suddenly went dark, she felt a little tired, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and then she fell asleep.

Looking at her daughter who fell asleep immediately, Ava raised her hand to help her brush aside the hair that covered her eyes, then kissed her forehead with a smile, and said softly: "Happy birthday, my baby. "

Charlotte was already in a dream at this time, she was held in the arms of a woman with long silver hair, she heard the woman smiled softly and said to her: "My little lily, my daughter..."

It was a language Charlotte had never heard before, but it was so familiar and warm, and it made her cry. She murmured: "Mom..."

Ava hugged the daughter who was raving about her mother tightly into her arms, and then fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.Under the dark quilt, where Ava did not see, Charlotte's body was glowing with a faint blue light.
