Why it never ends

Chapter 114
At around five o'clock in the morning, there was a brief autumn rain in Bruno City.

Hesta was still wandering the streets, without an umbrella or shelter from the rain.This kind of drizzle has little effect on her, especially at this moment, she is eager to face a storm that is overwhelming.

At six o'clock in the morning, Hesta showed up at Ava Morgan's place, dripping wet.

By the time she realized where she was, Ava's yard was on her left.

This is a detached villa. There is a garden in the front yard and the back yard. The two-meter-high bushes act as a barrier to block the sight of passers-by, but Hesta can see some of the garden in the occasional gap between the trees. Little details like gardens, flagstone paths, some girls already working in the yard.

She walked to the main entrance, and there was a golden doorplate hanging on the black iron gate:

Hereditary Honorary Citizen Ava Morgan House

She rang the doorbell, and after a while, a young girl with two thick braids appeared behind the door.

"……you are?"

"Eureka Demon." Hester looked at her. "Ms. Morgan once said she was willing to help me, so I—"

"Oh, I know you, please come in."

The young girl quickly opened the door and welcomed Hesta in.

"Ava told us that a lady named Eureka may come to visit these two days, but there are other visitors now, would you mind going to the glass room first?"

"no problem."

Hesta followed the young girl through the front yard of the mansion.

On this humid morning, Ava's yard was filled with the fresh smell of grass and trees.Some hibiscus that withered last night have fallen on the grass. The crimson petals are condensed with dew, and there are more buds tightly wrapped in green calyx on the branches, which will gradually open in late autumn when the frost hits the dew.

When entering the room, Hesta glanced at the umbrella stand by the door, where four long-handled umbrellas that were wet were neatly placed there.

The young girl led Hesta to the glass room, which was about ten square meters and located on the side of the villa.The three walls and the roof here are all glass, and there are many monstera and spider plants beside the walls, and a swing chair and a small round table are placed in the middle.

Due to the warm temperature in the room, a layer of water mist formed on the inside of the glass. After Hesta sat down on the swing chair, he could barely see what was going on outside. Only the endless green shadows moved lightly with the wind outside the hazy window.

The young girl quickly brought bread, butter, a cup of coffee, and some biscuits—it was only when she got to the kitchen that she realized that she forgot to ask Hesta how many servings she needed, and after thinking about it, she served three servings directly to the big man. I didn't expect Hesta to eat all of them in a short time.

The theoretical three-person serving should actually be enough for four people.

"God..." The young girl blinked, "...you, do you still need it?"

"No," replied Hesta. "Is there any water?"

"Yes...but there is no ice water, only hot water, is that okay?"

"That's great, thank you."

After drinking two cups of hot water, Hesta felt that his stomach was slowly opening, and a sense of drowsiness followed.

She opened the window at hand to let the cold, clear wind blow into the room.

It started to rain outside again, and the rain was pattering on the glass above Hesta's head, but it made this small room even quieter.

Hesta leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

At a quarter past seven, she heard some footsteps coming from outside. She turned and looked sideways, and saw several people coming down the grand staircase. Go to the door.

Hesta watched as they walked across the living room, talking in low tones.

Not long after, the girl with the two thick twists came again. Her footsteps were always very lively, and Hesta could already recognize them easily.

Going up the stairs, Hesta gradually felt the style of the building itself—if anyone overlooks Ava’s residence from the air, they will find that it is an equal-armed cross, and the center part is the living room on the first floor. Above is a curved dome.

Looking down from a height, Hesta can more clearly feel the order hidden in the furnishings.The ubiquitous symmetry here outlines an invisible but extremely clear axis. The owner of the house rationally and restraintly discarded all meaningless decorations and patterns, keeping all the paintings, sofas, tables and chairs in the house. There is a fairly harmonious master-slave relationship.

She was taken to Ava's study, and then pushed the door and walked in alone, where Ava was sitting at her huge desk.

Although Hesta had already entered the room, Ava didn't look up. She was holding a quill and writing something on a large white paper.

In her hand was a glass of clear water with some ice cubes floating on it.

Ava is wearing a mouse-gray long nightgown today, and a pair of metal round-frame glasses with gold wire rims on the bridge of her nose. Even when she is sitting, her waist and back are still straight.She didn't say a word, her eyes followed the tip of her pen all the time, very serious.

This scene reminded Hesta suddenly of Molly.

There is a wooden chair in front of Ava's desk, and there is no other place to sit in the study.

Hesta neither greeted Ava, nor sat down on the wooden chair. She walked lightly along the wall and visited Ava's bookshelf—there were some photos on it that aroused Hesta's interest.

She first saw a bust of a girl with long chestnut hair. The girl was wearing a cloak and holding a black cane in her hand. Her eyes did not look directly at the camera, but looked at the camera with a stern attitude. diagonally above.

Hesta also has a photo of this type, which was taken by the base for her in the year she secretly graduated from the base.

In the lower right corner of this photo, there are three lines of smooth small characters:

ava morgan
17 years old graduation commemorative

04/10/4576
Hesta was stunned. She remembered that Mrs. Laverty was born in this year, which aroused her surprise—Mrs. Lavitt was actually 17 years younger than Ava.

Hesta stared at Ava's cane in this photo, the pattern on it made her feel as if she had seen it somewhere, and she tried to recall it, but couldn't remember it.

But when Hesta looked at another photo, she instantly recalled the origin of the cane: this is Miss Chiba's cane, and she would bring it with her whenever she needed to replace her prosthesis.

The photo that awakened Hesta's memory was a group photo of Miss Chiba and Ava.

The moment Hesta saw this photo, Hesta's eyes widened - Chiba in the photo was very young, she was thin, and her height was less than Ava's shoulders.

The time to take the photo should be in early autumn. Chiba was wearing the base's dark green gym suit and trousers, and stood with Ava on the boulevard behind the reserve apartment.

Chiba's entire right arm and left leg were empty at this time, and she stared at the camera with an expression of obvious resistance and vigilance.

And the cane that belonged to Ava in the last photo was already in Chiba's hand.

Hesta glanced at the shooting time——

This is Chiba, 12, and Ava, 56.
