Chapter 61 Darkness
Following Caroline's footsteps, the old lady turned her head, and Caroline saw that there were two terrifying holes in the old lady's eyes.Caroline glanced at Joe, frowned, but still walked towards the old lady, she wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Joe's gourd.Moreover, Joe is the heir of the Icaro family. The Icaro family has been the generals protecting the country of the Snower Empire for generations. If he makes friends with him, he can also help his father.

"Mother, my sister is here." Joe glanced at Caroline anxiously, then bowed respectfully to the old lady, and stood beside her and said.Then he winked at Caroline and begged her for help.

Caroline nodded lightly, then walked up to the old lady, without making a sound, nodded and stood there waiting.When she first came in, Joe had already told herself not to talk, so she saved herself trouble.

"Really? Is it really my daughter?" The old lady suddenly struggled to get up excitedly, the stool fell to the ground while she was struggling, and there was a loud bang in the empty tavern.

"Mother, don't get excited, it's really my sister, don't you believe me? Then you will frighten my sister." Qiao helped the old lady walk in front of Caroline, and gently patted the old lady's cheek Back said, let her not get too excited.

"Right, right, don't scare your daughter, Joe, isn't mother ugly now? Isn't it scary? How is your sister? Are you afraid?" The old lady asked excitedly, holding Joe's hand tightly. His voice was extremely hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat.

Joe glanced at Caroline, saw that she nodded indifferently, and said to the old lady: "My lord, it's okay for my sister, she is going to help you now. Take it easy, don't hurt my sister, and you I know my sister is not in good health." After Joe finished speaking, he slowly handed the old lady's hand to Caroline's.

The old lady caressed Caroline's hand carefully, then hugged her in her arms, stroked Caroline's long hair tenderly, and murmured to herself: "Good girl, good girl, mother I always thought that something happened to you, why didn’t you go home for so many years. It’s all right, don’t be afraid, those bad guys have been killed by mother, be good baby, don’t be afraid..."

The old lady gently stroked Caroline's long hair with a smile on her face.Since what happened that year, she lost her eyes and her beautiful voice, and she hasn't seen her beloved daughter for five or six years.Qiao kept saying that her daughter had gone to school, and she always thought she was lying to her, but she didn't expect to be able to hold her daughter in her arms again now.

Caroline enjoyed the old lady's caress, curled her lips and watched Joe's lips move slightly, but she said silently: "Don't think you can get rid of me with a meal, I will know the whole story later, otherwise, Hmph, I won't cooperate with you.

Joe put his hands together in front of his chest and kept bowing to Caroline, and moved his lips behind the old lady to signal Caroline: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you later, don't mess it up."

Looking at her mother's gentle smile, Qiao felt relieved that she had made the right decision.Even if he owes Caroline a huge favor, he still thinks it's worth it.As long as his mother can go through with peace of mind in the last period of her life, he can do whatever he wants.

Gently supporting the old lady, she rescued Caroline from the old lady's arms, and pretended to be angry and said: "Master, I said that my sister took good care of me at school, you still don't want me to take care of you?" Believe me, shed tears day and night, how much you don’t believe in your son. Are you at ease now? Go home and recuperate, and when your sister graduates, she will go back naturally, so don’t worry about it.”

"Okay, okay, mother is wrong, so it's okay to apologize to you. Don't be angry, Joe, you should take good care of your sister in the future, you know?" The old lady coughed lightly, held Joe's hand tightly and continued: " You are about to graduate, right? I wonder if your father has arranged a marriage for you? Do you need your mother to find out for you which noble lady is going to marry?" The old lady looked at Joe with a worried face and said, her eyes now Can't see things, can't enter the responsibility of the mistress.Although those people would not say anything in front of her because of the face of adults, she was worried that it would delay her son's important life events.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about it. Father has already made arrangements. What you need to do now is to take good care of your body and wait to help your son take care of your eldest grandson." Qiao sighed inaudibly, with a smile on his face. He smiled again and said comfortingly to the old lady.

He is 17 years old this year, without his mother's help, how could his father think of his marriage.If it weren't for the elders of the family, he might have lost his position as the heir now.But it doesn't matter, when he takes control of the family, those who dare to bully his mother and sister, he will definitely not spare them lightly.

"That's good, that's good, then I'll go back, I won't disturb your studies, remember to study hard, and dedicate your strength to the empire in the future." The old lady patted the back of Joe's hand in relief and said, and then followed Joe Walk slowly to the outside of the tavern.

Caroline had no choice but to slowly follow behind the two and think about walking outside.Although Joe and the old lady had only spoken a few words, Caroline had roughly guessed some things, such as Joe asked her to pretend to be his sister, and the matter that the old lady mentioned must not be simple.But there is nothing simple in the big family.

Watching the old lady get into the carriage and walk towards the gate of the academy, Caroline jumped up and patted Joe on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Leniency is lenient for confession, strictness for resistance, tell me quickly, what do you mean by doing this? Yes, I'm hungry and thirsty, and you abused me when you asked me for help, and you will never help me again." Caroline stuck out her tongue at him mischievously.Now that she knows that Joe is only approaching her to let her pretend to be his sister to see her mother, then she doesn't have to guard against Joe like a thief.

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot, let's talk about it while eating." Joe rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly, led Caroline into the tavern again, ordered a few casually, and the two sat down. We chatted at a table in the corner.

Caroline took a few gulps from the short-term water glass without any image, then slowly put down the glass and wiped the corner of her mouth and asked, "Tell me, what happened to your sister?"

Joe sighed, his face was gloomy, and he began to slowly talk about the things buried in his heart.

Three years ago, Qiao's mother and younger sister were kidnapped for some unknown reason, and then the mother and daughter were subjected to inhuman abuse. Not only were they insulted by many people, even the mother's eyes, voice and younger sister's tongue were brutally tortured. destroyed.Because the younger sister couldn't bear the humiliation, she finally committed suicide not long after she was rescued home.

And the mother has been groggy and in a trance. Sometimes she thinks that her sister has gone out, and sometimes she clearly knows that her sister has passed away. She shed tears day and night. Her eyes were damaged, but eventually her eyeballs rotted. In desperation, the eyeballs could only be removed.

But Joe's mother didn't listen to the doctor's words at all after the operation, she still shed tears every day, and finally her eyes became two scary holes.

In desperation, Joe lied to his mother that his sister had discovered that she had a strong talent for knighthood, and was authorized by the elders of the family to study with him at the Imperial College, and she could not go home until she graduated, instead of dying.At the beginning, this reason was very useful, but as time passed, his mother began to doubt him, and his health deteriorated.

When he saw Caroline, he thought he saw his sister resurrected from the dead, but after inquiring, he finally found out that Caroline was the princess of the empire, and she was also from Alante, so of course it couldn't be his sister, so he just I can get close to Caroline and hope to ask Caroline for help when I am familiar with her.

But a few days ago, he actually received a letter from the family doctor, which said that his mother had only two months left to live.Helplessly, Joe could only make an arbitrarily good idea for someone to bring his mother to the college, and he had the audacity to ask Caroline for help.

After listening to Joe's narration, Caroline nodded in understanding. She always thought it was strange for Joe to approach her but not seek anything from her, and now she finally understood what was going on.But Joe's mother and sister are really pitiful, and Joe must have had a bad life these years, Caroline thought sourly.

You must know that Joe's mother is the head of the Icaro family, but she was raped, and no family will keep her, but his son is the future head of the family, and most elders can't bear to destroy her. The relationship between Joe and the family can only allow Joe's mother to continue to stare at the name of the head of the Ikalo family, but the real power is completely controlled by another woman who is the current head of the Ikalo family.

"Okay, has the murderer been found?" Caroline didn't believe that Joe's mother and sister would be kidnapped for no reason. You must know that the Icaro family is a family of generals, so how could they be kidnapped so easily.What's more, the kidnappers raped them first and then hurt their bodies not to ask for money.

Joe frowned. This had already involved the scandal of their family. He really didn't want to tell Caroline, nor did he want to dirty Caroline's ears.

Seeing him like this, Caroline bit her lips and said, "It seems that someone inside the family did it? For the right of inheritance or for the position of mistress?"

Joe didn't expect Caroline to know these things behind the scenes, so he nodded and said, "All of them. But that person has already been dealt with by me. It's not for you to know about such dirty things, don't think about it anymore. "He really treats Caroline like a younger sister, so he doesn't want Caroline to continue asking.

"Okay, I understand, don't ask any more." Caroline smiled lightly, looked at the food served by the waiter, and said to Joe: "Eat quickly, I have to go back to read after eating. "

Seeing that Caroline didn't mention any conditions, Joe was a little surprised. She thought Caroline would take the opportunity to ask for something.Looking up at Caroline's feasting, he made up his mind that in the future, as long as Caroline needs it, he will definitely help her.

Caroline never expected that her insignificant help this time would give her father a big boost in the future...
