Why it never ends

Chapter 276 Treatment
When the two returned to the Viscount's mansion, they suddenly found that many people in the hall were sitting upright and waiting.

"Where have you been?" Tereza asked.

"Night watch."

"Me too."

"Why didn't you bring communication equipment?"

"Sorry, I forgot."

"I also……"

"Sit down." Trisha gestured for the two to sit down, "I have important news to announce."

Hesta glanced at the people present, Tanglar and Villefort were there, but Victoria was absent.From the eyes of people looking at Trisha, Hesta has already realized that some people here already know what Trisha will say next, and some people, like himself, are ignorant of the changes in front of them.

"Starting today, I will be in charge of the team's combat command," Trisha said softly, "Victoria is still in our battle order, but starting today, she will act alone as an independent fighter."

Hesta looked at Zooey from the corner of her eye—the girl who was full of doubts about Victoria yesterday was sitting there calmly, without any surprise or doubt on her face.

"Wait, I don't understand," Ende raised her hand, "Then next——"

"Let me finish my words first, Ende. The specific things everyone has to do will still go according to our plan yesterday, but there will be some minor adjustments. I will communicate individually with everyone here later. "Trisa replied with a smile, "There is only one thing, please pay special attention to everyone, starting today, please don't mention the content of your mission to others."

"Internal secrecy?" Hesta asked.

"That's understandable," Teresa replied.

"Why do this?"

"There is no question-and-answer session at this meeting," Trisha looked at her, "but I understand that you will have various questions now, and you can talk to me again later when we have one-on-one communication. "

"Okay." Zooey stood up, "Then there should be nothing else going on."

"No more," Tereza said, "that's all I have to say."

"But it's not right," Hesta leaned forward and said again, "Victoria should come forward to inform her of such a major adjustment, and even if she doesn't come forward, there should be a written explanation—"

"In special times, of course there must be special measures." Zoe interrupted Hesta's inquiry, "Besides, haven't we stopped updating the progress of our internal operations since last month? Victoria Then there must be her reasons for doing so, let's carry out the order."

Ende looked at Zooey in surprise: "...What are you talking about? You didn't say that yesterday."

"I... that's because—"

"All disputes are reserved for the time being." Trisha interrupted the debate, "I will let everyone know what can be disclosed in advance, and what cannot be disclosed. After the battle is over, Victoria and I will write the reasons in the review file. "

……

In the middle of the night, Hesta went to chat with Sophie with a book.

The sudden disappearance of Victoria aroused her uneasiness. When she walked through the corridor alone, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at herself in the dark, so she took every step cautiously—whether it was What effect did Victoria want to achieve?

At least for now, Hesta has temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​replacing Tanglar with the bionic armband and leaving. Before confirming Victoria's location information, she can't act rashly.

When she came to Sophie's door, Hesta knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. She waited outside the door for a while, until a servant passed by and told her, "Miss Sophie should be with Madam now. In the duke's room." Hesta was just about to leave when she heard footsteps—Sophie was trotting over.

"Sorry, Eureka, I forgot to have an appointment with you tonight."

"It's okay." Hesta said softly, "If you have something to do, I'll take care of you first."

"It's all right." Sophie replied with red eyes. She had obviously cried just now, but her expression was not sad. "Let's go in and talk."

Sophie's room always smelled of citrus, and when she went inside to change, Hesta heard a few sneezing sounds.

"What's the matter with you?" asked Hesta, "are you sorry about the Duke?"

"Yes...and no," replied Sophie inside, "It may be inappropriate to say so, but to be honest, I have never been so proud of my uncle as I am today..."

Sophie came out, letting down her hair and removing some tiny hairpins.

Hesta sat down, she was silent, just looked at Sophie.

"Have you ever heard of Father Dagne?" Sophie asked.

"I have a little impression," Hesta replied. "The old priest in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Candle, it seems that the old Inspector Schmidt asked to see him before he died, but he didn't get his wish in the end."

"Yes, that's him." Sophie nodded, "He is over 70 years old, but a few years ago, he started to study psychotherapy, participated in many therapist's workshops, and helped many cancer patients go through their last days. Cheng. Aunt originally invited him to come to the house for a short talk in the evening, but he was delayed by some things, so he came late at night..."

Hesta listened quietly. In Sophie's description, this Father Dagne was also full of charisma.The old man first led the Villeforts and Sophie to pray silently together, and they held hands. In the silence, the three of them seemed to feel some kind of divinity, and wept inexplicably.

Then, the priest let Villefort's youngest son Joy into the room, and the four family members began to describe Villefort in their hearts one by one, as if they were strangers to each other at this moment.Villefort was the first to speak and spoke the shortest, followed by Alvira. Her narration was very long, from the encounter between the two in their teenage years to their life together in this half of their lives - subsidizing schools, donating to nursing homes, and setting up institutions for poor children. The Medicaid Foundation... and all the medals of honor that Villefort received in his half life, Alvira can remember clearly, and even reported the time and place of the awards...

This story made Sophie choke up several times. She used to know that her uncle was passionate about charity, but this is very common among nobles. Uncle Rich, who died not long ago, was also very concerned about the welfare of children, but she didn’t know that Will The two of them, Fu and Alvira, have silently put in so much hard work these years, helping tens of thousands of people in the habitable area.

"Uncle also cried at the end," Sophie said softly. "During the break, I chatted with Father Dagne, and he told me that this kind of oral history compilation is very effective in relieving people's death anxiety. On the surface, they are talking about the past, but in fact It is for this reason that narrative therapy is used. In the process of integrating past experiences, people can naturally regain a sense of meaning in life. Many conservative people in Livable Land do not want to see a therapist, but they are very accepting of this form .”
