Sister, look at him!

Chapter 393 When the Rose Withers 16

The coat was put on, bringing some warmth.

In the rain, Parker drove over in a carriage and took them in with an umbrella.

Carol caught a glimpse of a familiar figure running in the rain in the distance. It was Serinda.

"Selinda!"

She called out, and Serinda stopped and looked back at her. She didn't reply, but continued to rush into the rain resolutely.

Carol was anxious. Although she didn't like Serinda very much, she definitely didn't hate her either.

Edwin frowned, "Carol, wait for me for a moment, I'll go find her."

Then he looked at Timothy again, his eyes sincere, "Mr. Timothy, please stay and look after Carol for a while."

Even if Edwin hadn't said this, Timothy wouldn't have left Carol here alone.

only……

He looked in the direction where Serinda was walking away. It was a main road that led directly to the East District.

"Why don't I go over there?" He was also afraid that Edwin might meet with an accident in the East District.

Edwin said with a bright smile that seemed to dispel the darkness of the night, "It's okay, Parker and I can do it."

Edwin left, and Carol looked at the carriage going away, feeling vaguely uneasy.

She and Timothy waited here for a while, but the rain still didn't stop.

In the darkness of the night, a carriage came, and the driver was George.

"Miss Carol, your mistress saw that you haven't come back for a long time, so she asked me to pick you up." George's voice was not clear in the rain, so Timothy, who had amazing hearing, relayed it to Carol.

Carol got into the carriage first, and she called to Timothy, "Come along, Mr. Grant."

Timothy shook his head. "I'll go find Mr. Capet. Don't worry, I'll tell him that you left safely."

Seeing this, Carol stopped inviting him. She was also worried about Edwin. Although Timothy was not a human, she was willing to trust him. Moreover, if Timothy was with Edwin, she would feel more at ease.

The next day, Carol did not see Edwin and Serinda, but received a shocking piece of bad news.

Edwin is dead, Parker is dead, and Serinda is dead.

They contracted the strange disease that occurred in the East District and died in the East District. Their bodies were discovered by patrolling police officers.

As for Timothy, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could no longer be found in London.

"How could...how could..."

Carol couldn't believe it until she saw Edwin lying lifeless in the coffin.

She covered her mouth with her hand, her thin shoulders kept shaking, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Carol almost cried to death while sitting in the carriage. Mrs. Perry held her, wiping her tears and calming her down.

They couldn't go home yet and had to go to Dodge's house.

The Dodge family has only two daughters.

Elena, the eldest daughter, died tragically in the East District, and the murderer has not been found so far. Serinda, the youngest daughter, contracted a strange disease and also died in the East District.

Carol saw the Dodgers' empty eyes and numb expressions.

They no longer had any hostility towards Carol, and when they saw her coming over, they just trembled their lips and shed a few tears.

The death of Edwin and Serinda caused panic among the noble ladies in London's upper class. Even Carol and Zane's marriage was postponed again and again due to the recent death of Edwin and the current situation in London.

The Duke of Capet lost his beloved son and his hair turned completely white overnight. He left London with Lady Capet and went to their estate in the country.

Cyril was also worried that the strange disease in the East District would spread here, so after careful consideration, he decided to take Hilda away from London.

London, a bustling city that people once fought hard to enter, has now become a hell on earth that celebrities want to escape from.

Mrs. Perry's family was no exception.

The servants were all in a hurry, packing up things in the house.

Mrs. Perry held Carol's face and cheered her up. "My dear, I will not abandon you. So, come with me and we will go to Paris."

She stroked Carol's long hair again and again. "I have a manor there. You like roses, so I will plant roses all over the garden."

She hugged Carol tightly again, "Don't reject me, child, I can't lose you."

Feeling the wetness on her neck, Carol came back to her senses from her sadness. She hugged Mrs. Perry back, gently closed her eyes, and a tear fell from her eyes.

"it is good."

……

midnight.

Carol did not sleep well. She had frequent dreams. Sometimes she dreamed of Edwin with a happy smile, and sometimes she dreamed of Edwin lying lifeless in the coffin.

She also dreamed about Serinda.

She dreamed that Serinda turned into a monster like Elena, with red eyes, a mouth full of fangs, and pounced on her with her mouth wide open.

Carol was awakened.

At some point, the tightly closed window was opened, and the night wind blew, lifting her curtains.

Under the full moon, a dark figure stood on a big tree, and several crows circled around him.

Gusts of wind blew his long light blond hair. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a blooming rose slowly flew towards Carol as if controlled by a silk thread.

Carol was shocked and rolled out of bed, slamming the window shut and drawing the curtains.

Fear made her gasp for breath. After a long time, she tentatively pulled open the curtains, leaving a gap and looking out. The figure under the full moon had disappeared.

Carol relaxed her tense nerves, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard a slight sound coming from the room.

The nerves that had just relaxed became tense again. Carol sat on the ground, supporting herself with her arms, rubbing the ground bit by bit, trying to move her body to the door.

"Um...it's me, Miss Crane..." Timothy's suppressed voice of pain came from the shadows.

"Timothy..." Carol was surprised. The fear in her heart gradually dissipated, but her legs were still stiff. She crawled on her knees and came to Timothy. "What happened? Are you okay?"

Timothy's eyes were bloodshot, his black hair was a little messy, and his meticulous dress was torn into pieces. Several deep wounds that could be seen to the bone could be vaguely seen.

Timothy did not answer this question. Instead, he held Carol's hand tightly and said, "They are not dead... Mr. Capet and Miss Dodge, they are not dead..."

Timothy's panting became more frequent. "Miss Crane, please, please give me some blood."

blood?

Carol was stunned for a moment, then began to pull at her nightgown. She opened the collar, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, "Please be gentle."

Timothy: “…”

He smiled, but it was a bitter smile.

"Miss Crane, it is my principle not to suck human blood. Please give me some animal blood, please..."

Animal blood?

Carol pulled up her collar awkwardly, "I'll go look for it in the kitchen, please be sure to hold on."

Picking up the candlestick, Carol quietly opened the door and walked quickly to the kitchen.

The servants were in deep sleep due to the busy day. Carol carefully avoided the servants on night watch, tiptoed into the kitchen and started searching.
