Chapter 284 Doyle's Suffering

"If you want to talk about why he loved Hawkins so much, but did those things to that girl, I only learned about it from Doyle later."

While Ye Qing was speaking, his eyes darkened.

It turned out that Hawkins' purpose was known by Doyle.

Before he appeared, Hawkins' condition had not recovered, and Doyle was very sad.

Once, when he was secretly visiting Hawkins, he saw Hawkins wearing a mask with the girl, and they both had a notebook in their hands.

He didn't quite understand why Hawkins had such a good time with a girl he didn't know.

But it didn't take long before the girl came to him often.

It feels to Doyle as if Hawkins knows him as well.

"Why?" Everyone looked at Ye Qing curiously.

"Doyle knew that the girl was found by Hawkins, and he told the girl some of his hobbies. He understood what Hawkins meant. I didn't meet the old man at that time, and his wife's illness was getting worse and worse. The more serious it became, so he decided to let her feel at ease before his wife died of illness."

"Is he acting with that girl?"

"Maybe it was at the beginning." Ye Qing continued: "When he met me, on the one hand, he wanted to make Hawkins feel at ease, and on the other hand, he also wanted to let Hawkins see his works, but his thoughts I was broken, I didn’t have anything to write, all this changed when I met me.”

"He begged me to treat Hawkins, even if he only lived for a few years, and I agreed to him. While I was treating Hawkins, I told him some short stories to give him some inspiration."

Ye Qing looked at the three girls after speaking, smiled and asked:
"Do you still think Doyle is a scumbag?"

The three girls shook their heads and nodded when they heard the words.

In this way, Doyle is indeed not a scumbag.

But it's not a scumbag, why does the character of Irene exist in his novel?

"The characteristics of the character Irene, in fact, have more shadows of Hawkins."

"Grandpa, I don't quite understand."

Hearing what the old man said, Zhang Zifeng frowned puzzled and asked:
"Since Hawkins has more shadows, why did Doyle substitute that girl?"

"No boy will forget the girl who once accompanied him. Doyle loves Hawkins, but he has the shadow of that girl in his heart. When writing the character of Irene, he unconsciously combined the characteristics of the two It's all on Erin."

Huang Lei opened his mouth to explain.

After hearing the old man's story, he understood why Irene was the combination of the two of them.

This is related to some characteristics of men.

When shaping a perfect woman, Doyle should think of his lover first.

But when writing, I couldn't help thinking of the girl who accompanied him in my mind.

Therefore, the Irene created has always been the woman that Holmes does not mention her name, but only calls her that woman.

The word "that woman" contains too much.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Hawkins, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is that girl, they are both in Holmes' heart and Doyle's heart.

Ye Qing nodded: "Da Lei is right. I saw this after reading the article he wrote. After the article was published, he told me about Hawkins and that girl. When the article was published, , I treated Hawkins, and that girl didn't appear again."

The meaning of the novel Scandal in Bohemia is not as simple as a detective novel.

It has a deeper meaning in Doyle's mind.

Irene's absence does not reappear, it is like seeing that girl no more, only in my heart.

"It seems that the significance of this article is extraordinary."

He Jiong pursed his lips and sighed.

Unexpectedly, in their eyes, it was just an article, but the meaning hidden in it was so unusual.

"That's right, after this article, he focused on writing."

"But I remember that in the last Sherlock Holmes case, Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes to death, and he didn't create any more for several years."

"That's something I never expected, old man."

After Ye Qing heard Peng Yuchang's words, he closed his eyes for two or three seconds, and when he opened them, he took a long breath.

He had treated Hawkins' tuberculosis at that time, but who would have thought that she would suffer from other diseases unexpectedly, and the illness was quite serious when it came.

"What happened during this time?"

"Hawkins's child was originally weak. In 1893, her body suddenly became seriously ill. Doyle couldn't accept it for a while, and fell into self-blame. If it wasn't because of the novel, how could he take care of her?" It’s not good for Hawkins, he knows that he won’t have any creative thoughts in recent years, so he wrote Sherlock Holmes to death.”

In fact, writing Sherlock Holmes to death is also his proposal.

After all, during that period of time, Doyle couldn't write any good works at all in his state.

If forced to write down, the novel will be very disappointing.

Rather than disappointing, he might as well have asked Doyle not to write.

"Then the story of the return...was it because of Hawkins' death?"

"Return, when this book was written, the child Hawkins had not died yet."

Ye Qing shook his head at Peng Yuchang.

It can be heard from this question that this silly boy is a complete Sherlock Holmes fan.

The questions asked were actually stuck at the time of Doyle's writing state.

"At that time, Doyle stopped writing, which made Hawkins feel very guilty. She has always been proud of the achievements of Doyle's novels, but for such a good book, Doyle actually wrote Sherlock Holmes to death because of her. So she wanted to understand her own life several times. Unfortunately, they didn't succeed. The two of them met a person outside that day, and this person made Hawkins want something in her heart, but her own thought was even worse."

"Isn't this the girl you mentioned just now?"

Listening to the old man's tone, everyone guessed who Doyle and his wife met.

On the bloody things in the world is such a coincidence.

To the extent that Hawkins loves Doyle, she is full of hope that Doyle will be happy after her death.

Just when Hawkins was already blaming herself for wanting to commit suicide, when she saw that girl, why didn't she pin her hopes on that girl.

"Yes, the girl appeared again."

Ye Qing nodded and continued to talk:

"The appearance of that girl made Hawkins think again. Hawkins repeatedly mentioned the girl in front of Doyle. Doyle knew the meaning, but he didn't do much. He just found me again, knowing that Hawkins After this time it was really impossible to recover, he resigned to his fate and followed the girl, and he was very good to that child Hawkins, but he also seemed to have completed the task. After meeting the girl, he would deliberately leave behind imprint."

The Doyle kid used the sigils to keep Hawkins from worrying about him for the rest of his life.

The heart is also incomparably tormented.

Every time I went to his house, I would drink a lot of wine and tell him how uncomfortable I was.

Especially when he talked about meeting that girl again, Doyle felt even more painful.

That's right, when Doyle met that girl again, the thoughts he had hidden in his heart grew.

and so.

Every choked up sentence of Doyle is full of guilt towards Hawkins.
