Nelly opened the door with a happy expression.:

"Mother, guess who I met."

Rebecca asked with a smile:

"Who did you meet?"

Nellie happily announced:

"Uncle Hevin! I met him."

But what surprised Nellie was that Rebecca didn't show much surprise, but looked calm.

The woman took off her white silk gloves:

"Oh, did you say anything to him?"

Nelly frowned slightly:

"Mom, aren't you excited?"

Rebecca stretched out her hands and put them on Nelly's shoulders, looking at her daughter seriously:

"No, I'm not excited, Nelly. In fact, I have already met Hevin."

Nelly had a puzzled expression on her face:

"But, but, mother, why didn't you tell me?"

Rebecca shook her head:

"I don't want to see him."

Nelly blinked in confusion, her voice hesitant:

"What does it mean?"

Rebecca reached out and held her daughter's cheek, closed her eyes and took a deep breath:

"I saw Hewen. At that time, there was less than thirty meters between us. We both saw each other. He didn't want to stop me, and I didn't stop him.

"Do you know what went through my mind the first time I saw him?"

Nelly was silent.

Rebecca said:

"It's your father's face, Nellie, I see Ogden."

Nelly lowered her head. Although she didn't say anything, when she met Hewen, she actually thought of her father deep in her heart.

I thought of my father's laughter, my father's appearance, and my father's bad jokes.

I even remembered the fact that my father was dead.

If I feel so uncomfortable, my mother will only suffer more than myself.

Nelly whispered:

"Sorry, I……"

Rebecca touched her daughter’s face:

"No, I know you are in pain too, but I can't bear to think of Ogden again, so I didn't stop him, and I don't plan to stop him, because I don't want to see Hevin again.

"I don't want to dwell on the pain of the past again, even for a moment."

Rebecca said seriously:

"Nellie, tell me what Hevin said to you."

Nelly said with evasive eyes:

"I invited him to our home...

"I thought you and Jimmy would welcome him..."

Rebecca shook her head helplessly:

"Are you serious, Nellie? You actually want Jimmy to see Hevin. Don't you know how much harm everything that happened to us has caused to him.

"I finally paralyzed him and made him come out of the shadow of the past, but now he hardly talks to his family. He hides in his room every day after returning home and doesn't know what he is thinking.

.

"Is it possible that you want to make things worse for Jimmy?"

Nelly shook her head.

Rebecca said:

"You're a little too excited, Nelly. I don't know what's going on, but don't you think your attitude towards Hevin is a little strange?"

Nelly argued:

"But he saved us."

Rebecca replied:

"Yes, so I am very grateful to Hewen. I also want to repay his kindness, but this does not mean that we must hold a banquet for him and then announce to the world that this person has been found.

Ogden's murderer.

"Does it have to be like this? My daughter, I really don't want to recall that memory. I want to be willful for once. Even if it doesn't conform to my moral values, it doesn't matter.

"I know better than you how to treat my benefactor, but do you really want to force us to see Hevin and then recall that extremely sad memory?"

Rebecca asked, looking into Nellie's eyes.

Nelly said:

"No, I don't want to."

Rebecca nodded:

"Well, the next time he comes to visit us, you go to greet him and tell him clearly that I am very grateful to him, but unfortunately, I can't express my gratitude in person, and I don't dare to see him again.

Him, because I was afraid that I would want to think about the past grief.

"Of course, our gratitude was not just words. I didn't have anything to repay him at first, but it's different now. Now I'm back home."

Rebecca suddenly thought that she might be able to tell Nelly something to eliminate some of her admiration for Hevin.

She took Nelly's hand and walked to the chair:

"Sit down and let me tell you something, something you will know once you are an adult."

Nelly sat down and looked at her mother.

Rebecca explained:

"This world has magical power. Like the original monsters and Hevin, they are all part of this world. As nobles, we actually have similar powers in our families. In fact, Inlans'

All nobles are more or less aware of the existence of magical power and have some control over it.

"I described Hevin's behavior to the wizard hired by the family, and he told me that Hevin should be an elite demon hunter, and there are many demon hunters of this level in the Knights who are as powerful as him.

"I know you once admired Hevin when you were a child, and what happened may have deepened your feelings for him, but he is not a great hero. He saved us, but he is by no means omnipotent. He

Couldn't save everyone.

"You can be grateful to him, more grateful than me, but you have to realize that he is not your hero, Nelly. He is also a mortal, a wizard employed by our family. As long as he is not attacked by surprise, he can deal with ten Hercules.

People like Wen.”

Nelly said in shock:

"Mom, what are you talking about? I don't admire him. You don't need to describe it like this at all. Your statement makes me feel very uncomfortable. You belittle our benefactor like this..."

Rebecca said:

"Oh, if you didn't have any feelings of admiration for him, your reaction at the moment wouldn't be so intense and you would instinctively want to defend him.

"Nelly, I can understand, I can completely understand. After encountering so many things, I also want to rely on something like you, such as a great hero who once saved us. But I can't. In the end, life will not treat you.

To get any preferential treatment, I have to survive on my own, only me.

"You must recognize that your feelings are because of the impact that incident had on you. You blindly want to grab a life-saving straw, which is why you are so eager to meet him, because you need to rely on him to

Face your past.

"But no, in the end we can only rely on ourselves."

Nelly opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but she didn't know how to speak.

Rebecca said:

"I will ask someone to give you some gifts that are enough to repay Hevin's kindness and are worthy of the life of Marquis Taylor's daughter. Then, you will not have any contact with him.

"Because that's only going to hurt your family and yourself."

Rebecca stared at Nellie.

Nelly finally nodded with difficulty.

Rebecca smiled kindly:
