50. Persuasion and Comfort
Hevin and Enid sent Yvette to the White Tower.
Enid is very smart.
She looked at Hewen:
"Light, I have a secret."
Hewen glanced at the gauntlet on her hand:
"What secret."
Enid touched her right arm, and the gauntlet shrank into a bracelet.
"I am born with the ability to detect other people's emotions. This gauntlet is a magic item I just got. It can suppress my ability."
Enid looked at Hevin sincerely:
"Can you answer me a question? I will sense your emotions. Of course, if you don't agree, I won't use my abilities on you."
In fact, she had already used it before under George's instruction, and Enid couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart.
Hewen looked seriously into the girl's eyes:
"go ahead."
Enid took a deep breath:
"Mr. Wright, are you a bad person?"
Hewen chuckled and said:
"I have never considered myself a good person, but by universal human standards, I am still considered a good person."
Enid felt the emotion coming from Hevin and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm really sorry for making such a request suddenly. I'm worried about something."
Now that it is confirmed that Wright is not the bad guy that George was worried about, Enid can tell him some things.
The girl looked seriously and said:
"Mr. Wright, my teacher told me that a war will break out in Forth City soon, a war targeting the Knights. By that time, you who are related to the Knights are likely to be implicated."
Hewen was a little surprised:
"war?"
Enid sounded worried:
"It is not an invasion by other countries' armies, but a war started by people with evil intentions, or a war between the Knights and evil people. In short, the city of Forth will soon become very unsafe.
"My mother was also worried about my safety, so she asked George to arrange for me to return to Wharton, if, if you would...
"If you want, you and little Alice can leave here with me, go to Wharton to take refuge first, and then come back after the matter is over."
Hewen smiled and refused:
"No, I still have some things that need to be done."
Enid was a little disappointed when she heard this:
"Is that so? If you need little Alice to take refuge, or if you need anything else, be sure to contact me as soon as possible."
Hevin touched Enid's shoulder with his fist and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, if I encounter any trouble that cannot be solved, I will definitely notify Miss Knight immediately."
Enid's face turned slightly red:
"Mr. Wright, stop making fun of me. What I'm talking about is really serious."
Hewen responded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, don't worry, Miss Knight."
The silver ring re-extended to cover Enid's right forearm.
Hewen suddenly asked:
"You must be very tired."
The girl's body froze:
"Mr. Wright, what are you going to say?"
From Enid's previous conversation with him, Hevin could guess that the other person's ability was innate.
Hewen said with emotion:
"It's very tiring. I can always see through other people's thoughts. People's true words are not whitewashed like words. It's really too much for a child to bear."
Enid whispered:
"I am no longer a child."
"You were a child, and even now, you still seem to me to be a child."
An unhealthy childhood will cause children to mature prematurely, but it will also make it difficult for them to truly mature.
Enid smiled in response:
"Don't worry about me, Mr. Wright, I'm used to it."
Hewen shook his head:
"No one gets used to being hurt, do they?"
Enid lowered her head and her voice became even lower:
"Yes, but what else can I do? What can I do? Forget everything? Forgive everything? Smile, then leave all the past sorrow behind forever and move on happily?
"I also want to stop worrying about whether strangers passing by will hurt me. I also want to be able to sincerely expect kindness from others. I really want this."
The girl looked at the man with sadness and indifference in her eyes:
"I can't do it, Mr. Wright."
Enid sighed silently in her heart.
Mr. Wright is a good man and a very warm person, but he can never understand himself, and he can't understand it. Such comfort will only make her more sad.
Hevin grabbed Enid's arm:
"No one can really forget those unforgettable indifferences and stings, whether they are joy, pain, or loss, they are all your past, part of you Enid, scars and glory that only belong to you.
.”
There are only scars.
Hewen did not intend and could not heal her with words.
Hewen said:
"You're right. This is an obstacle that you can only overcome by yourself. I really can't help you, but I believe in you."
Enid asked in surprise:
"Believe me?"
Hewen nodded and said:
"I believe you will eventually overcome your past."
Hewen raised her arm and looked at the gauntlet "Falling Wings":
"You have sealed your abilities, right? Are you trying to get rid of your dependence on your abilities?"
Enid was surprised that Hevin could see the role of the Fallen Wings in these details, but she was even more surprised that he knew that he would make the decision to live without the help of his own abilities.
After all, in the eyes of most people, sensing other people's emotions is an extremely wonderful gift.
Hevin continued:
"Throw away the crutches. You may walk slower than before at first, but over time, you will be able to run. I believe that one day, you will be able to live a normal life after losing your ability."
Enid touched her right arm and smiled:
"Well, I believe it too."
Hevin's words cannot actually solve Enid's fundamental problem. If someone really used a few words to dispel other people's sorrow, then this trouble would be too insignificant.
It was just because the girl turned a blind eye to the fact that Hevin was using her to get close to Yvette, so she gave her an unworthy reward.
Enid also saw that Hevin went to the train station with her to create a chance encounter with Yvette.
That's why Yvette asked him whether he was a bad person.
If Hevin is really plotting something against Yvette, as a friend of both of them, she must stand up and stop Hevin.
But after Hewen answered, she had no intention of interfering with Hewen's behavior.
Hewen patted her head:
"Just keep going, it's your own path,"
After saying that, Hevin turned around and set off. Just as he said, he still had things he had to do in Forth.
The ability to see through people's hearts.
If he had not had this ability in the past, would the ending have changed?
The witcher smiled.
