Left hometown for three years.
Returning again, Elena looked at the once familiar castle villa with a sense of nostalgia and timidity.
"Elena, welcome home."
Elena stared blankly at the man surrounded by the butler and maids. The man sat in a wheelchair, with a kind smile on his face. Apart from his handsome appearance, he was no different from the elderly men in the park who could strike up a conversation. "Dad."
Elena From being stunned to running, there was only a second's pause.
She knelt into the man's arms, tears streaming from her eyes.
"Dad, your leg..."
She clearly remembers that her father was in good health three years ago, how could he have become like this?
"It's okay, people get old, it's normal to not feel well."
Snowd gently stroked his daughter's hair, showing his affection without further explanation.
"Uncle, Elena got divorced," Orly glanced at Elena and whispered next to Snowd.
Snowd felt his daughter stiffen for a moment.
"It's just a divorce, not a big deal," Elena half-knelt on the ground, smiling at her father.
It's as if nothing has happened. Her pretense of calmness only makes people feel more sorry for her. Snowd's eyes suddenly darkened.
He could tell that his daughter didn't want to go into detail about the past three years.
But she wasn't happy.
That alone explained a lot of things.
Pursuing further questions is not a wise choice. Snowd held his daughter tighter. "Child, going home is all that matters. Daddy will take care of everything for you." With Snowd around, no one dared to bully his precious daughter again.
Castle villa, nestled in the tranquil forest of City X.
This is the territory of The Snowd family.
As the world's richest hidden figure, Snowd's influence is almost global, and his assets are roughly estimated to exceed a trillion. Elena is Snowd's youngest daughter and also his most beloved child. At this moment, Elena is questioning the family's old butler Todd about her father's leg ailment.
"When I left, my father was still fine. What exactly happened? Todd, I respect you like a second father, you can't lie to me!" Elena pressed, Todd wanted to run but it was no use. After a few unsuccessful attempts to break free, he sighed heavily. "The master didn't allow me to tell you."
Elena snorted, "But you will tell me, right?" Todd sighed, "You're the best, you know I'm really worried about Dad. I haven't been home in three years, and I don't want to be completely clueless about everything at home."
Different from her timidity at the the Osiris family, Elena was lively and vivacious when she returned home.
Todd was being pestered by her, so he had to tell the truth, praying in his heart that if the old man found out, he wouldn't drag him over and give him a beating. His old bones couldn't take a beating.
"The master was shot three years ago."
Three years ago, Snowd was resented by the other party in a deal, and in order to retaliate against him, Elena was taken hostage.
But just as Snowd was about to rescue her after obtaining a clue, the cooperating gang suddenly turned against him, and it was at this time that Snowd was unfortunately hit in the right leg by a stray bullet.
"The master understands you, he doesn't want you to blame yourself for this after knowing about it."
Looking at Elena's flushed eyes, Todd regretted being honest.
"It's all my fault," Elena bit her lip.
If she had been obedient at that time and hadn't run out to play on her own, she wouldn't have been caught by those people, and all these terrible things wouldn't have happened. Self-blame has never been Elena's character. She calmed down her excitement and asked, "Where is the gang that betrayed us now?"
Elena's tone was unusually calm, but those who knew her well would understand that she was actually quite angry. The calmer she appeared on the surface, the more turbulent her emotions were inside.
"It's been wiped out," Todd chuckled. "Miss knows that the young master has a fiery temper. Now that gang not only lost its name, but also belongs to our side."
Thinking about the deviousness of her elder brothers, Elena felt a little relieved.
Deserved it.
Daring to bully The Snowd family is like having the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!
"Oh, look at my memory," Todd suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead.
"Look, Elena," he said with an awkward smile, "the young master said he specially invited an international chef to welcome the young lady. It looks like it's almost time." After Todd finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away as if afraid of being detained by Elena.
After a long absence, Elena walked around the courtyard, feeling both unfamiliar and familiar.
She had just touched a petal of a rose, and when she looked up, she saw a man in a dark silk shirt smiling at her. Perhaps in a hurry, he still had a bit of stubble on his chin, but it didn't stop his handsome appearance. The man was a head taller than Elena, and as he walked over with big strides, his smile became even more radiant.
"Gert!"
Elena took a few steps and was embraced by the man.
"You finally decided to come back?" Gert affectionately pinched his sister's nose.
"He just heard about the divorce as soon as he came back."
"It's still better at home." Elena snuggled in his arms.
Suddenly she took a step back, creating some distance, and wrinkled her nose.
"Gert, your taste is as consistent as ever," she raised a hand and waved it in front of her nose with a disgusted expression. She admitted that Gert was incredibly handsome, but Old Spice cologne? No thanks, it's sprayed too much, and it will ruin my nose.
"Hey, you're hurting my feelings as soon as you come back," Gert exaggeratedly clutched his heart, and seeing Elena laugh, he laughed along with her.
"Maxim?" Elena asked.
"On the way," Gert replied, winking at her. "Famous writers have someone looking out for them, unlike us ordinary people."
"Ordinary person?" Elena gave him a disdainful glance. "Who has ever seen an ordinary person come in and wipe out an entire gang? I think among our family, maybe just me can be considered somewhat ordinary."
Gert's smiling face stiffened, then he spoke in a muffled voice. "You already know."
"Elena asked worriedly, 'Is there still hope for Dad's leg injury?' With today's advanced science and technology, she believed there must be a solution.
'He has undergone several physical therapy sessions, but the effect is not significant. We have also consulted many doctors, but there is no good news. Oh, by the way, I heard about a new technology recently, which seems to be in the testing phase. If successful, perhaps we can give it a try.'"
"Gert said, hesitated, and then said, 'Never mind, don't worry. Dad still has me and Maxim by his side. Nothing will happen.'
'Yes, Dad will definitely live to be a hundred years old,' Elena said seriously.
'I can't come.' "
Elena got out of the car helplessly.
She drank a lot last night, and now she just wants to crawl back into her warm bed and catch up on the sleep she missed.
"Don't say such a disappointing thing," Orly stood beside her, smiling and hooking her arm.
Elena's outfit is very cool, unlike Orly's delicate dress.
