Kelly wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead.

The steak made a sizzling sound on the pan, and the blood-red meat gradually became darker in color with the rising smoke.

Hala stood on the bench with her bare feet and cut open the tomato with a sharp kitchen knife. The flesh was crystal clear under the light.

"Actually, you don't need to help, I can do it alone." Kelly said.

Holding the kitchen knife tightly with her pink little hands, Hala used control far beyond that of a human child to accurately separate the fruits and vegetables into parts of almost the same size.

"It's okay, Sister Kelly. I usually make breakfast. I'm very familiar with the kitchen."

Kelly shook her head helplessly:

"Really, Professor Hewen, can't you invite a nanny to come to the house to cook? I couldn't even fry an egg when I was your age, but you can already use knives so skillfully."

Hala said:

"After all, I only have one family member, Hewen, and he can't stay at home with me all the time."

Kelly nodded:

"Yes, little Hela will be independent sooner or later. It's not a bad thing to learn to take care of herself in advance."

Ha La murmured softly:

"independent?"

Kelly nodded:

"Yes, children will always grow up. Although I envied adults when I was a child, in fact, when you become an adult, you will miss your childhood life, because a person's maturity also represents the separation from his parents.

"I'm not very sensitive to this feeling. After all, my parents have been busy with work since I was a child. But in fact, as you grow older and time goes by, people around you will always come and go, and old friends will become strangers.

As you leave home, your relationship with your parents is no longer as close as it was when you were a child."

Ha La asked eagerly:

"Then is there any way not to grow up?"

Kelly smiled:

"Everyone will grow up. I know you don't want to leave Professor Hewen, but when that day comes, you will naturally say goodbye to him, separate, and walk towards your own life path.

"And he won't stop. He will continue to walk his own path. Your paths may be parallel for a long time. Even if you are separated, they will cross from time to time. But even so, they are still two paths.

A completely different path.”

Kelly shook her head:

"You'll understand when you grow up."

Ha La looked towards the empty front and whispered:

"Grow up?"

Kelly said:

"By the way, you just said that Hewen is your only family?"

Ha La hummed softly:

"I have no father or mother."

Kelly was slightly startled, it wasn't that she hadn't seen it before, but that she hadn't?

Ha La said softly:

"I don't know how I was born, but someone once asked me to call him daddy.

"I ran away.

"I met a lot of people on the road, some not so good people, and more very bad people, so I just kept running, and kept running.

"Then I met Hevin."

Kelly said in surprise:

"So you are not Hewen's biological niece?"

Ha La raised her head and opened her eyes wide:

"My dear, I seem to have seen this word in many places. What does it mean?"

Kelly explained:

"That means you are a direct bloodline of a certain person. If you are not biological, it proves that you are not related by blood."

Ha La nodded thoughtfully, she seemed to recall some of the scenes described in the novel.

Dong Dong.

"Is anyone home?" A mature and sexy female voice came from outside the door.

Kelly glanced at Ha La, and the little girl immediately spoke:

"Sister Kelly, just keep looking at the steak and I'll open the door."

Ha La jumped down from the bench, happily put on her slippers and walked towards the door.

The girl asked through the door:

"who is that?"

The voice behind the door replied:

"I'm here to see Professor Hewen. Grant introduced me. I have something very important that I need Mr. Hewen's help with."

Hala said:

"But Hevin is not at home, he went out."

Meryl continued to ask:

"Kid, do you know when the professor will be back?"

"Well..." Ha La clapped her fingers, "It will take many more days."

Meryl asked:

"Kid, are there any other adults at home? Can I talk to them?"

Hala said:

"etc."

Ha La turned around and ran towards the kitchen:

"Sister Kelly, the person outside the door said she wanted to talk to you. She said she was introduced to Professor Hewen by Grant."

Kelly frowned, remembering Professor Hewen's instructions.

Kelly turned down the fire a little, and then walked directly to the door.

She is warming up.

"Is there anything you need?"

Meryl asked:

"Miss, have you ever heard of a witcher?"

Kelly asked:

"What do you want to say?"

Meryl said:

"I am a demon hunter. Now the city of Aaron is in danger. An evil monster is raging in this school. I urgently need Mr. Hevin's help to stop this monster."

Meryl thought for a while, and it seemed that this was somewhat true. According to what Garrett said, shapeshifters were indeed very powerful monsters.

And according to the guidance of the Staff of the Masked One, she is indeed in this school, and a shapeshifter does have the potential to cause great harm.

Although this possibility is very small.

But what does that have to do with her?

Kelly replied:

"Hevin is not here for the time being, and he already knows about the demon. He is now tracking and hunting it. If you want to find Hevin, come back in a few days."

Hevin told Kelly that he was dealing with the stickman.

Meryl was a little curious:

"Wait, why are you talking to me through the door?"

Kelly replied:

"After all, the evil spirit is too powerful. Hewen asked us to stay in the house and not go out until he comes back."

Meryl always felt that what Kelly said was not what she thought, but she was very willing to make mistakes.

"That's it. Sorry to bother you, I'll come in and see you again."

After saying that, Meryl turned around and planned to leave.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a trace of heat coming from the short staff in her arms.

Stinger smiled, she didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.

Stinger did not turn around immediately. According to the owner, there were obviously protective measures here. Anyway, as long as the prey was found, the mission was completed, and there was no need to dirty one's hands.

She is not afraid of getting her hands dirty.

only……

Let's forget it this time.
