Chapter 205 - Chapter 205: Control Group
The Edwin in the old photo had the vitality of a youth mixed with the confidence and sharpness of the Anderson family’s young master. He was a very dazzling person.
Edwin was like a small sun, easily attracting the attention of others. Even if he did not do anything, as long as he stood there, it would become an existence that some people in the dark yearned for.
She thought that perhaps Edwin was such an existence for Vivian back then.
But Edwin couldn’t understand this kind of emotion. How could someone take a glance at someone and treat them as their salvation?
Caroline looked at him enviously. “It’s because you’re strong enough, so strong that you don’t need to look up to others, so you naturally won’t experience this feeling.”
Upon hearing this, the image of a little girl suddenly appeared in Edwin’s mind.
He was stunned for a moment and muttered in a low voice, “No, perhaps I have had it too.”
So all these years, his obsession with her also came from his longing, yearning, and salvation?
Because a large truck happened to pass by, and Edwin’s voice was too soft, so Caroline didn’t hear what he said.
She looked at him in confusion. “What did you just say?”
She felt that his expression just now was a little strange, as if he had suddenly realized something, but there was also a hint of surprise.
“No.” Edwin came back to his senses and shook his head. “I just thought of something old. ”
When he heard that Caroline seemed to be very familiar with this matter, he thought of a possibility. His heart suddenly felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
“So, does such a thing exist for you?” he asked tentatively.
Caroline was obviously lost in her memories. Her tone was reminiscent and sad. “There was indeed such a person.”
Edwin tightened his grip on her hand and ruminated over her words a few times. “You said once, so you mean you don’t worship him anymore?”
“Yes,” Caroline said softly. “Not now, she’s gone.”
Hearing Caroline use the word ‘she’, Edwin heaved a sigh of relief. “It seems that this is also a sad story.”
Caroline nodded. “Obviously.”
“If there’s a chance, can you tell me about this person?” Edwin asked again.
Caroline felt a little strange. “You don’t seem like the kind of person who cares about such things.”
“No, I think you misunderstood me. I’m very interested in everything about you and want to know more.” Edwin shook his head.
Caroline’s heart skipped a beat. “If you want to know, I can tell you now.” Edwin’s spirits were lifted. “I’d like to hear the details.”
Caroline leaned on his shoulder, and her mind went back to more than ten years ago. She remembered that it was the first time she met Jeanne.
At that time, she was thrown into the cruel training ground. After going through life and death, it took her three days to finally find the right direction and climb out of that demon-like place.
Then, before she could rest, she hurriedly washed up and was brought to a woman by her mother, covered in fatigue and wounds.
Her mother introduced her to a distant cousin named Ai Fu. The two had been close since they were young. Later, Ai Fu went abroad to work with her husband and did not return to China until that year. Therefore, the two had a chance to meet again.
Caroline, who was still in Luo Ling at that time, didn’t have any special impression of this distant aunt. She only felt that she was a gentle and amiable lady. What left a deep impression on Caroline was her daughter, Jeanne.
At that time, Luo Ling was completely raised as a boy. Therefore, when she was seven or eight years old, she had never worn a dress in her memory. In order to facilitate training, she had always cut her hair short.
Other than the necessary cultural classes, her daily schedule was basically strength training, reaction training, and weapon training.
Therefore, not only did she dress like a boy, but she also behaved like a boy.
Jeanne was her complete control group.
Jeanne always wore a beautiful and dreamy princess dressy and the hair accessories on her head were never the same. The small leather shoes on her feet were always decorated with all kinds of lace and flowers. She looked just like the dolls in the cupboard, or even more exquisite than them.
She didn’t need to train hard every day, and she didn’t need to face all kinds of unknown dangers. She only needed to train in talent classes for one or two hours every day..
