[The Phantom of the Opera] Redemption

It's just that you're still making music and he doesn't bother. "

Still the same as before, Mitchell put the best part in front of Eric very graciously, and began to talk about his actions consciously, "Eric, you should understand that I still have problems in other places." For those with less property, I went out this time to inspect all of them, and dealt with all the inconvenient take care of them. In the next few years, we can stay here and live our lives with peace of mind."

Eric was stunned for a moment, and he pretended not to care and said: "This is your own choice, and it doesn't have much to do with me. It doesn't matter if I stay in one place for a long time. If it's inconvenient for you, just go out and deal with it. I don't care. It’s not that I chose to isolate myself from the world.”

"No, it's just that I don't think it's so peaceful here during this period of time. Moreover, I'm a little tired of my life as a doctor and want to retire temporarily. We will be very happy living here together." Mitchell With a gentle smile, his eyes followed Eric all the time. At this time, his face was clearly revealed by the candlelight, but no one here showed the slightest discomfort. Maybe this is the self he pursued. by life.

Eric lowered his head and continued to eat what was on his plate. Mitchell filled his glass with white wine and continued: "My work in other places has come to an end, and the rest can be done by Clark. It was dealt with. However, when I came to Paris, I met Christina. She has changed a lot now. How should I put it, she is not as kind as before. However, in my opinion, this is a very good change. "

Eric nodded, "Christina's character is just too kind, she cares too much about other people's feelings, that's why she couldn't be the leading role when she was in the opera house, obviously I have let her level go far. It surpasses those vulgar women, I really don't know how those people can endure after hearing her singing."

"Now she has a strong personality and knows how to fight for her own interests. I think the love between her and Raoul will become more perfect. Only in this way will she be more suitable for the Raoul Chani family. Let me tell you something Good news, when I came back, I heard that Raoul Chaney almost had a falling out with his brother. Brother is for a woman who has nothing, and they will have a formal wedding soon, and that woman is Chris Ting Na, now, she has gained a firm foothold in the Shani family."

Gu Bo was a little unconcerned, "Quack, women are always stupid. How much does she have to give up just for a man? She is so willing to become a woman with nothing. I still remember her grand occasion at the Paris Opera House, That voice, although it is far worse than yours, Mr. Eric, can still be regarded as pleasant."

"Gu Bo, you don't understand that in the eyes of different people, they care about completely different things, like you only care about appetite, while most women care more about emotional abundance, that is to say They can give almost everything for love. People who are loved by women are really very happy, but there are always people who don't cherish and want to get illusory things, how sad." Mitchell smiled slightly, "Eric, You can rest assured now that Christina knows how to fight for herself, and her family in Shani will not be sad."

Eric put down the knife, he was still a little worried, after letting go of his inexplicable feelings, he had a clearer grasp of his student's character, "She is still not suitable for that environment, she is too fragile , Gentle, in that complicated environment, she is like a trembling little white rabbit, anyone can gnaw off two pieces of meat from her body!"

Mitchell patted him on the shoulder as if nothing had happened. Eric's heart was very pure. He said that he had no other emotions, and he must be judging from the purest perspective. "I understand your worry, Eric, Christina is really not suitable for dealing with such a situation, so from the very beginning, I wanted to separate her from Raoul Chaney. However, young people's emotions are not It's not something we guys can control, and the more we do it, the stronger the belief that they're together."

His hands were so gentle that Eric calmed down, and he also felt a little guilty. It was not appropriate to mention Christina frequently in front of him.Mitchell quickly reassured him, saying softly, "Eric, Kristina is your student, which is mine. There will be no offspring left between us." Next, I also have some concerns for her. I left all my properties and assistants in Paris to her. If Christina's life is not good, I have already promised her that she can come and live with us at any time. Together, I will solve everything for her."

As he said that, Mitchell took out a letter, "I don't want to stop the normal exchanges between you, and I also hope to have one more relative. As long as you want, you can always know about Christina's situation." .Eric, you have to believe that as long as it is your wish, I will try my best to fulfill it for you."

Holding the letter, Eric choked up for a moment, he still has a strong sense of uncertainty, such a perfect man will really fall in love with him, and he will give up on him.

The author has something to say:

☆, rapid transition

Mitchell knelt down and looked into his eyes affectionately, "Eric, I wasn't born to be popular, my previous life was full of darkness, violence, unbearable, that's generation... Represents London, the darkest part of the world, but when I heard your voice and your music, I really understood that you are the one I want, and your music is mine Redemption, it has a magic power, heals the wounds in my heart, this is what you mean to me. Even if you want to say something, I am so sure, I love you, love you deeply, just You are nothing else."

Eric shook his hand, and blurted out the words that had been silting up in his heart all the time, "Mitchell, how about you come and listen to my music tonight, I may need some advice from you."

"Of course, it's my honor." Mitchell kissed the back of his hand reverently before standing up with his strength, with a faint smile in his eyes, "My Eric, you deserve the most OK."

In the eyes of those who love each other, even the longest time is extremely short. Unknowingly, 7 years passed by, and Mitchell finally fulfilled his promise. He took Eric to every corner of Europe. The magnificent scene everywhere, of course, is silent.Gu Bo also finally had the body he dreamed of, and he could use it for a lifetime.

During these times, it’s not that Eric didn’t think about asking Mitchell who he was, but in the end, he gave up. Mitchell opened up to himself to read all the information without hesitation, for example, let him find it by himself. It is not the so-called people who build the castle, but the product of another world.Clark was the only sentient being left in a dead city, and Mitchell had just given him a suitable body.

As he said at the beginning, he has gone farther than anyone on the topic of death, what does his secret matter, one day all the truth will be revealed clearly before his eyes, he Have this confidence.After all, Mitchell has been loving him with all his might, with all his might.

His face also recovered smoothly. After Gu Bo had a handsome body, Mitchell immediately helped him perform an operation. It was very simple, but it just anesthetized his face.He watched Mitchell remove all the dead flesh from his skin, and cut off all the dead nerves.After that, he felt a mysterious force moving on his face.The skin is constantly wriggling and reborn.A week later, when he took off the gauze, a handsome, flawless face that conformed to the texture of the skin was completely grown.The moment he saw it, he immediately understood, oh, this is the face he was supposed to have.

They should have spent this day in peace, but a letter broke the peace, which was written by Christina from Paris.She wanted to invite them to Paris for her son's 5th birthday. When the letter was delivered by the crow, Mitchell was still planting his new flowers in the garden, which he tended. It is very good, the sun shines on him, it is peaceful and beautiful, maybe the greatest happiness in life is like this, everyone seems to have obtained their own happiness.

Sensing Eric's gaze, Mitchell immediately raised his head, waved at him, and quickly ran towards him.As soon as he came over, he took the letter from him and asked: "Eric, do you want to go and see Christina's son, he must look very similar to her, very handsome, and we haven't been to Paris for a long time Yes. We can also talk to Kristina about the Scandinavian scenery, her memory of it is almost blurred."

"Okay." Eric nodded, but didn't give him face, and said straightforwardly, "Even if I don't agree, you should go to Paris. Something happened there and you need to go to deal with it. When you arrive in Paris, I happen to Talk to Kristina, instruct his son on the piano, do whatever you want."

"Sorry, Eric, I will try my best to stay with you, as long as I stay there, it will be more useful than anything else." Mitchell kissed him on the face indifferently, "We are going to go back to normal anyway. I have been walking with you in a remote place for a long time, and I feel a little uncomfortable in the face of people. I think they have probably completely forgotten me. After all, it has been more than 7 years, and everything The vicissitudes of life."

"After nearly twenty. ten years, Dr. Mitchell Bartley's appearance has hardly changed at all. This strange sight must make everyone very curious."

The smile on Mitchell's face became brighter and brighter, but he knew that his little wife had always had a bad temper, and it was bad luck for him to tease her too much, so he could only honestly say: "Yes, yes , I will be careful, I decided, let's change our surname together, it's Brother Scott from Denmark, how about it? I think this name is quite good, our normal identity is the old friend of the old Da'ai My sons, I heard about Christina by chance and got in touch with her not long ago, so our identities will be seamless."

Eric frowned slightly, "Aren't you going to go there as Dr. Mitchell Bartley? I remember that you have a good relationship with Raoul Chaney."

"If I were still Mitchell Bartlet, it would be hard to explain why you suddenly appeared. Raoul Chaney has seen your real face. If you really do, there will be endless troubles. So, from the beginning, We are about to start with a brand new identity, don't you think that if this is the case, the whole person will be completely new?"

Mitchell blinked playfully, "There is one more thing, I have been forgetting to say before, the identity of Doctor Bartley is dead, I asked Clark to do it, he died in a fire three years ago , died in his own laboratory, and was buried in a very quiet cemetery on the outskirts of London, without any relatives to accompany him, only the medical medal he received during his lifetime accompanied him to his final resting place. This is a perfect place It's over."

Immediately afterwards, Mitchell took out something, a few thin sheets of paper, Eric opened it, and it turned out to be an identity document, with his name clearly written on it, representing his identity It's Eric Scott, originally from Scandinavia, who has settled in Denmark since ten years ago, and looks seamless.

He suddenly felt his chest swell. This man has been silently doing everything behind his back.Mitchell blinked playfully, with such a face and such a temperament, he did not seem to be inconsistent with this kind of action, "Thanks to the fact that this world is not considered a sound population system. I just let Gu Bo bring a gift to The police station cried out, you encountered some unfortunate things here, and you were robbed of everything, but it took a little effort, and everything was resolved for you. This is the most genuine false testimony in the world. It's gone."

Speaking of which, Mitchell knelt down on the ground, took out a small box from his pocket, knelt down in front of him, and asked sincerely: "Mr. Eric, would you like to spend the rest of your life with this man kneeling in front of you?" , regardless of birth, old age, sickness, death, poverty or wealth, will you never leave?"

Eric sighed, looking at the shiny sapphire presented in front of him, it was cut very well, and finally put it away, "Why did you buy these things again, when it was built here, didn't you just say, Is this a gift from you to propose to me, how many times have you done this kind of thing in these years. "

"Eric, I will never get tired of proposing to you no matter how many times I do it." Mitchell smiled and put the gem in his pocket, "Every time I see these gems, I think of Your eyes are so deep, every time I see them, I feel wandering in happiness, I can't help but want to hold the best in front of you. Come on, my dearest Eric, It’s time for us to come back.”

Clark and Gu Bo have already prepared everything and waited for them at the door. After 7 years of dormancy, they are also a little impatient. They want to teach those people a lesson. Their recent actions have really intensified. Challenge their bottom line, and now it's time to finish.When they fall into complete despair, what kind of despair will be on their faces.

☆, back to Paris again

They came quietly outside the Shani family mansion, mixed among a group of carriages attending the dinner party, ordinary and low-key, inconspicuous at all.Christina had long been standing at the door full of excitement, even though it didn't make sense, she insisted on standing at the door to greet her guests. It had been too long since she had seen her teacher. , and that man, if it wasn't for his help, her current life would definitely not be so comfortable.

She couldn't restrain her excitement. She heard that the teacher had recovered her original appearance, so what would happen?Then, she saw the two men walking towards her slowly from behind the crowd, and a strong confidence told her, this is it, they are the people you are looking for.In particular, Mitchell Bartley's face is still the same as when he left, and the years have not left any traces on his face at all.

But something is wrong!Christina sensed his face immediately, and it was different from the first time she saw Mitchell Bartley.No, it started when he reappeared in Paris. He has been adjusting his appearance bit by bit. The closer she gets, the more terrifying she feels about this man. Fortunately, she is not his enemy. .

There was a decent smile on the corner of her mouth, and she bowed gracefully and asked: "Excuse me, are you..." A little bit of doubt is just right, even though she is now the mother of two children, her demeanor is even more shining, will Most of the women were suppressed, and it was because of this that Raoul's heart was always on her.

Mitchell took a step forward and said in a familiar tone: "Oh, Christina, we finally saw you, we are sorry that we did not come to you when Uncle Daae passed away, but God still cares Ours, isn't it, it is really a miracle that we found news of you again after so many years. Christina, you have been living in this world well, our mother knows that in the underground And it'll be reassuring that she'd been talking about poor Christina wondering what her life was like until she died?"

He said a lot quickly, looked at her moved, but still stood still and didn't go up to give her a warm hug: "Kristina, we are brothers Scott, your father should mention to you However, our mother and your father are brothers and sisters, and their relationship was the best when they were young."

Mitchell opened her arms, and Christina hugged him lightly with tears in her eyes. The fan in her hand kept flapping gently, and she seemed to be a little short of breath, "Ah, it's you, It's your letter, I finally saw my relatives again, I thought it was impossible for me to go back to Scandinavia for the rest of my life, and it was impossible to see people who were related to me. Before my father died, he was in Talking about it, he..."

Kristina covered her face with a fan, and soon a maid came over to support her, and Mitchell and Eric walked into a quiet reception room together, while the noisy banquet hall outside It was really not suitable for people who had been reunited for a long time. After the maid helped her to a chair and sat down, Christina sent her out and closed the door by the way.

Mitchell found a place to sit down quite comfortably, and smiled: "We can start a formal conversation, Christina, I checked. There is no problem with the door. Come on, this is Eric, this is me Thinking of the new life I prepared for him, I still have a trace of excitement in my heart."

Christina couldn't help stretching out her hand, wanting to get closer to that flawless face, "Mr. Teacher, Mr. Erik, is your face real? It really appears Is it on you, can I touch it?"

Eric put her hands on his face without hesitation, the delicate, warm touch, yes, this is human skin.Christina couldn't hide her inner excitement, Eric said calmly: "You see, Christina, I have fully recovered, this is my face."

"It's actually very simple. Eric's face was not born like this. He was deliberately burned by a fire. The skin and nerves on his face were burned, so he became a demon. But, look at it now He is actually an angel, an angel who was maliciously murdered. However, I prefer the current result, he will definitely not have anything to do with the Church." Mitchell stroked Ai gently. Rick's face, he pushed Christina out calmly, it was one thing for Eric to regard her as his student, but it was another thing for her to touch Eric.

Christina is not angry either. Seven years of life as a Viscountess has made her completely understand that it is meaningless to pursue temporary dignity. And what's the point of being angry with those stupid people, they will pay for their actions sooner or later, you are already standing in two worlds with them.She withdrew her hand indifferently, "Doctor Bartley, why did you suddenly talk to me so movedly? Before, you didn't send me any letters. What if something unexpected happens?"

"So, I have prepared everything for you. I didn't do it before because I didn't get through the joints. Now, we are your real relatives." Mitchell smiled slightly and handed several letters to Ke Christina, "This is what we wrote to you, and what you wrote to us. I have already found someone to fix it, as long as you stamp the unique seal of the Viscount's mansion."

Envelopes of different shades were handed to her, and Christina couldn't help but admire again, "How did you do it? You made the envelopes in different degrees of age. It seems that there is such a thing. .” She said as she quickly covered the unique wax seal.

"Mrs. Shani, the thing that will amaze you even more is yet to come. There is also a force in the dark that is helping us. You know that I don't have any pious feelings for God." Mitchell took out a Identity certificate, "It's really a coincidence that your father really had a younger sister, and she did give birth to two sons. However, their entire family died of an accident ten years ago. This is A question arises, can they report the population in a timely manner in a small village that rarely communicates with the outside world? So, I made a little trick in the middle."

Mitchell took two steps forward with a little pride, "Now, look, we are justifiable five years. The Scott brothers who settled in Denmark before, are seamless, whether it is the Shani family or something else No one will be able to check. We are already your legitimate relatives, Christina, at this moment, don't you think you should give us a hug full of excitement and happiness?" He opened his mouth Standing there with both hands, I feel very safe.

Christina glanced at him, found a place to sit down by herself, looked at Eric and said gratefully: "Teacher, thank you for bringing me into the door of music, which has benefited me a lot , the only regret is that since I came here, I have wasted a lot of things you taught me. I rarely contact you, and my grasp of opera is not as good as before. It is difficult for me to sing..."

Eric shook his head, "Christina, your sensitive special still exists, but your current environment and your life limit your talent, and you can no longer practice day and night like before. "

"There is something to give." Mitchell quickly squeezed between them, raising his eyebrows at Christina, "You will definitely lose something if you choose this path. This is this society. If, you If you can wait until 100 years later, maybe it will be very different. This is this era. In their eyes, your previous occupation is low. We don’t think so in our hearts, but our will can’t change this society. .However, I have brought you a gift."

Mitchell took out a thin piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her. It was a real estate certificate. Kristina took a closer look and found that it was a shop. It was an antique shop that had been open for eight years. shop!She quickly pushed it back like it was on fire, "No, I can't accept this, it's too..."

Mitchell shoved it into her hand indifferently, "As a woman, you must have some money in your hands, otherwise, it will be too difficult to live at home, and you also need some money of your own to do some inconvenient things. Besides, we are the ones who came to Paris with the inheritance given to our cousin after our mother passed away. I will never take back what is yours."

While they were pushing and shoving, Raoul Chaney pushed the door and came in, followed by Earl Chaney. They were a little surprised to see Christina staying in the same room with two handsome young men.Their eyes had already begun to develop in a bad direction, and Mitchell took the opportunity to stuff the paper into Christina's hand.

He took a big step forward, stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Mitchell Scott, and the person behind me is my younger brother Eric Scott, we're here to see Christina's, hello, Mr. Charney."

His voice is very lively and sunny, but it doesn't make people feel the slightest frivolity. Raoul hesitated for a moment, but still held his hand.Introduced to: "Raoul Shani, this is my brother..."

☆, comeback

"Of course we know, the famous Earl of Chagny in Paris." Mitchell quickly took the conversation, and looked at them with a smile, "We came here because of our mother, who left a legacy that must be given to Christina, in order not to let her stay. No regrets, we tried our best to finally find Christina, really God bless us, we can see dear Christina while we are still alive !"

Raoul refused to let go of his doubts, even though he knew that these two names were very common, but is this really a coincidence, one Mitchell and one Eric, these two names he will never forget of!What's more, that Mitchell and that doctor still have some similarities in appearance. Could it be that they are... But, didn't the people he sent to London say that Dr. Mitchell Bartlet was buried in the sea of ​​fire and found his body?

Mitchell understood his little thoughts very well, and naturally talked about his previous life, "We lived in Scandinavia until five years ago, and sometimes we can see the beautiful aurora, Although it is cold, the scenery there is really beautiful. Until ten years ago, an unfortunate fire occurred in our beautiful hometown, which burned down our house, but also aroused the unyielding thoughts in our hearts , we sold all our belongings in a desperate move and came to Denmark, where we started our business, and this is just the beginning!"

Speaking of this topic, Mitchell was aroused with all the enthusiasm in his heart, and he gushed, "It was really a difficult time. We started selling small things on the street. Eric always Shy, almost all the tasks of buying and selling were on my shoulders... In short, after many difficulties, we finally succeeded, became capitalized, started to buy stores in the city, and opened our own stores .but look at us now, we hire... trustworthy people and start a leisurely life again. At this time, our mother is called by God, and she keeps talking about poor little Christine Na, so, we came to Paris after several twists and turns, and finally found it!"

Mitchell looked at her moved, and took Christina's hand, "Now, we can rest assured, and so can mother. So, we must give Christina a little care, after all, She is the only relative we have a blood relationship with now, but she has been condescending and unwilling to serve me, how can this be, right, Viscount Shani."

Raoul was stunned for a while, then nodded, "Kristina, since this is a relative you haven't seen for a long time, then accept it, after all they..."

Mitchell quickly cut off the conversation, "Then it's settled, Christina, you are not allowed to object. Yes, as long as you still treat us as relatives, you must accept us."

Then, he took out two beautifully packaged small boxes and handed them to Christina, "Come on, cousin, the front is a gift for you. This is a gift for your child. I don't know much about it." If you want to give a child any gift, just give the same one, you can’t put it away secretly, this is what I give to my nephews, nephews, and daughters.”

Christina hesitated for a while, but still put it away. The box didn't look big, so it should only contain a piece of jewelry. Then, she opened it with a smile: "It's really troubled you, and they are just like that." A little bigger..."

There are two diamonds of at least [-] carats in it!It was cut very well, but it was not inlaid on the jewelry. Mitchell said casually: "Kristina, put it away, I specially asked them to cut the rough diamond, after all, the style of the jewelry is really Things are changing rapidly, and by the time they are really available, fashion has already moved in an unknown direction, so it would be more convenient to send you this directly, wouldn’t it?”

Christina held the diamond and felt her hand was hot, Raoul gave her a wink and accepted the gift, "Christina, don't hesitate, this is your cousin's wish, It would be bad if we don’t accept it. Excuse me, do you have other things to do when you come to Paris?”

Mitchell immediately picked up on Raoul's topic and started talking endlessly, taking him to another place to briefly talk about some business matters. Raoul Chaney has always been living under the protection of his brother. After that, at Mitchell's level, it was easy to fool him. In just a few minutes, he had already talked with Mitchell along the topic very happily, and even had the idea of ​​treating him as a confidant in his heart.

After they stayed for an hour, Mitchell and Eric left first, and promised to visit again in a few days.After leaving the gate, Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief, dragged down his coat and put it on his hands, and simply untied the bow tie, "Every time I was inside, I felt like I was almost It’s suffocating, how did Christina bear it, and she’s still wearing that kind of corset, do women in Paris really only want to be beautiful and don’t need to breathe?”

Clark had been waiting in the carriage. As soon as they got into the carriage, the carriage left the street quickly and smoothly. Eric still asked, "How is Raoul Chaney?"

"It's good to just be a nobleman. It's okay to be conservative. If you let him develop, you will definitely end up miserable." Mitchell curled his lips contemptuously, "This kind of man is only good-looking. There is still a bit of background in the family background, and the downfall of their family is just around the corner. This era is changing rapidly, and they are destined to be left behind far away. It is really pitiful, what a pity."

Eric was silent for a while, and took his hand quietly, his muffled voice was a little hard to hear, "Sorry, Mitchell, I thought you had some prejudice against Christina at one point, so I deliberately didn't let you She was able to have the life she dreamed of. Now it seems that..."

"Eric, you have to remember, my honey is my poison, this is Christina's life, and no one else can talk about it. Every time she has two choices in front of her, she chooses herself." On the current road, all we can do is to bless her to go further on this road." Mitchell sighed, "Her fate is already closely connected with Raoul Shani, but , don't worry, as long as Raoul doesn't do anything messy, she will be able to live a life without any worries."

But, is that really what she wants? Has she ever been nostalgic for the hearty singing at the Paris Opera House? Even in a small space, her thinking and heart can still take her She has traveled all over the world, but now, she is really stuck here, unable to get in or out.

Mitchell said tolerantly: "If you want, you can also visit her at Shani's mansion and give her children a music lesson. I think that. There is nothing they can stop, but don't worry about you Didn’t your ventriloquist get better in the past, so I can feel a little more at ease.”

Eric opened his mouth, but he still didn't refuse. He also wanted to see it with his own eyes. Mitchell clearly felt this, so he didn't object.

Everyone felt happy, as if everything ended here, Mitchell watched Eric get into the carriage and headed to Shany's mansion, and he decided to go again.That's okay, human life is too short, and any beautiful memory is precious.

However, a new storm is brewing in London.Sherlock Holmes finally couldn't help but sent a letter from London, which read: "Mitchell, since I learned of your death three years ago, I have decided to completely cut off the relationship with you. Contact, I know, you must be fully prepared and don't want to get involved in anything, I am also very happy, you have finally found the most suitable way of living for yourself."

"However, recently I learned a piece of news that is very important to you. I have to contact you again. I hope you can warn me.
