Night Thoughts (Part 1)(1/2)

"I already understand what happened this time, whether it was repairing the Queen's Star in one day, or the response to subsequent emergencies,"

The words were spoken in a steady and thick voice, neither urgent nor slow, exuding a majestic aura as stable as a mountain.

Late at night, in the Imperial Manor, sitting in the middle of the main sofa in the living room of his 'room', Fangran, with Adeline standing next to him in the bright atmosphere, looked at the figure in front of him,

“Amazing craftsmanship and results,”

On the projection screen, a solemn and majestic old man sitting in a classical study room looked at him and nodded in a deep voice:

"I would like to formally express my gratitude, Mr. Executive Officer."

His face is calm, his shirt is meticulous, he sits upright and upright despite his age, he has a strong aura of superiority, and Abel's junior-like figure next to him illustrates his identity.

One of the pillars of Fiseld's empire and the real controller behind the scenes in the medical field,

-- Mohd Rockefeller.

"I just fulfill my responsibilities."

It was quiet at night, facing the leader of the medical field with a mountain-like aura, Fangran just looked at him and replied simply,

"Your identity is destined to be contradicted by some people, but wealth that is not protected by force will inevitably be plundered. After this incident, more people will realize it,"

"For Fiseld, the power of that world is necessary, and it is a good thing to welcome a strong ally to join us,"

After ending the main topic conversation, he said something like this in a slightly slower and calm tone,

Mohd interlaced his fingers in front of him, looked deeply at the black-haired young man and said:

"No matter what the future holds, at least the medical field will be your friend from now on."

Abel beside him also bowed slightly in greeting.

"Then have a peaceful night, Your Excellency."

The projection freezes, and then the screen disappears,

After finishing the interview with the boss in the medical field, Fangran exhaled and leaned gently on the sofa. No longer acting like a CEO, he looked at Adeline beside him and asked,

"What did he mean by those last words?"

"What happened at the annual meeting was taken by many people as a signal that you, the young master, will marry into the family and become the heir. However, among those who know about the Night War, especially among the pillars of the empire, many people are hostile and wary of your identity as a participant,"

"Mohed is telling you that some of them have loosened their attitude, and in order to help solve the crisis in the medical field, although he still has to wait and see about the future, he is willing to initially support you, young master."

No...this is nothing...

Listening to Adeline's cold and calm translation for a second, I was speechless. Is this the art of boss speaking? I was too lazy to delve into this complicated topic involving the partisan disputes within Fiseld.

Fangran sighed, not knowing where to complain, and stood up and walked towards the open-air balcony on the second floor.

Starlight spots, the cold wind blew the silence and coldness of the winter night outside, and the white air was thick in his breath. Fangran sat down on a chair on the balcony,

By the way, this chair was also custom-made according to his figure.

"You can go and rest, Adeline,"

At this time, he heard the footsteps of high-heeled shoes and realized that she was following him. Fangran turned his head and looked at the figure holding his ears with flying silver threads in the cold wind.

"You must be tired after a busy day and flying back."

In response to this, Adeline just looked cold and calm:

"Don't worry, I have received special training. It is one of my responsibilities to be on call before you fall asleep, young master."

Thinking about the long-day meeting that made me tired just listening to it, what kind of special training did she undergo to act like a superman without any trouble at all?

Knowing that he couldn't drive her away, a card appeared between his fingers and the flames spread and dissipated. The warmth spread and slightly drove away the cold winter night.

"Master, are you still thinking about Helen?"

Feeling this special attention, Adeline walked to his side, looked at his side face and asked calmly,

Slightly lost in the night wind that shook her hair, when she heard this question, the conversation on the plane came to mind. Fangran looked at the dark night in front of her without denying it.

"Well, I was thinking about something... related to her."

After he said this, he fell silent, and then asked in a lower voice:

"How many children are born with diseases like Helen?"

"The incidence of congenital heart disease accounts for 0.4% to 1% of live births. Judging from this rate, plus other types of congenital diseases,"

Always answering his questions objectively and in detail, Adeline summed up softly and calmly.

"a lot of."

"Is it...."

The white air was thin and the night was like water. After hearing this answer, Fangran murmured in a low voice,

"Then can they live in an orphanage like that?"

"It's a pity, Master, what you saw yesterday was already the best and most beautiful aspect of the orphanage. With Fiseld's financial resources, they can at least live in a sound environment,"

"If you are good enough, the foundation can fund you and work for Fiseld in exchange for opportunities for further education and medical treatment."

Still objective and detailed, Adeline's cold and calm voice still gave an answer that was not gentle.

"But what is more common is that children born with diseases are crowded into poor facilities, waiting to die without hope, even if they survive,"

"Most of them are struggling at the bottom of society because of their education level, disability, and low intelligence."

"Is it...."

Not surprised, as if he had known it for a long time, murmuring in a low voice as if he wanted to confirm it from others,

At this moment, Fangran looked at Adeline in the silence of the winter night:

"You seem to understand it very well?"

"Because this charity is part of my management, and..."

With a perfect figure and exquisite appearance, Adeline exudes the nobility of the top class. With her cold beauty, Adeline calmly told the surprising truth.

"I used to live there."

For a moment, Fangran suddenly remembered what she said about changing her destiny and buying her life when she flew to Las Vegas, and realized that the figure in front of her had also had such painful memories.

Falling into silence, I don’t know how to describe the mood at this moment in the night.

"Master, are you sad?"

Seeing his silence, Adeline stood next to him and spoke calmly. Fangran spoke with eyes in trance,

"They are still so young and are about to die..."

"It's not your fault."

"I know...but..."

Simple and direct comfort, but it had no effect. Adeline looked at the black-haired young man in front of her, with sadness hidden in her eyes. She raised her head and looked at the starry night sky and spoke softly and quietly,

At this moment, the fire burning all over him was so powerful, and the will of the mechanical dragon roaring behind him... all the special features of the participants faded away from him,

There is only a sense of deep sadness and loss that feels like that of an ordinary young man of this age.

"I can't do anything, I can't do anything for them..."

Even before the end of that journey, he couldn't ignore the people dying in front of him. Even if it was just history in the scene, he was willing to do his best to save them.

But now he has seen with his own eyes a little girl smiling and saying that she is going to die, but she can't do anything...

And listening to his words and seeing his disappointment as he looked at the night sky at the moment, for some reason, Adeline's calm eyes slightly rippled,

Then the night was quiet for a few seconds, and she suddenly spoke:

"Master, can I kiss you?"

After his thoughts were interrupted, the night was as cool as water, and he was not in the mood to be shaken by her. Fangran just turned his head to look at Adeline and smiled with curiosity.

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

"This time in North America, I will be with you, young master. In addition to the master's arrangements, I also have my own reasons for being chosen and entrusted with important tasks by the master."

Without any awareness of what she had just said, she suddenly mentioned the reason why she wanted a pillar of the empire to follow her, and Adeline calmly confessed her purpose.

"I've actually always wanted to know what kind of person you are, young master."

"Does this have anything to do with what you just said?"

After hearing her purpose, Fang Ran exhaled softly and casually, still wandering into the night in trance.

"I feel sad and lost because I can't save a child who is about to die, and I feel sad and lost because I can't help so many people who are unfortunate due to illness. It's probably because I have the same experience,"

"So I found that I fell in love with such a young master,"

With her cold and noble face lowered and her eyes lowered, Adeline spoke in a cool voice without feeling any embarrassment at all.

"Besides, I think Master, you are in a low mood now and need a woman's comfort. This is a good opportunity to take advantage of it..."

"Hello..."

I couldn't help but interrupt, maybe because I was in a low mood, maybe because I was immune to this noble indifference, but when I heard this, I just sighed helplessly with a smile,
To be continued...
