Chapter Forty-Three: The Three Little Goats, Elizabeth
"Understood." Diaz packed his luggage neatly, "By the way, Mr. Chris, I have to find a new place to put the money you gave me."
Just now all his thoughts were on Nord, and Verak didn't think about the money for a while. Now that Diaz mentioned it, he became interested and asked: "Where were you placed before?"
"Here." Diaz moved a stool into the bathroom, stood on the stool and pried open the ceiling, and pulled out a box containing 550,000 gold grams from a very narrow partition.
"Did you modify this?" Verak entered the bathroom and asked, pointing to the hidden compartment on the ceiling.
"Yes, I made it temporarily." Diaz took out the box and jumped down from the stool.
Less than a day had passed since Verac handed the box to Diaz and arranged for him to keep it. On this day, Diaz helped Verac check twenty-four hotels, and even created a hidden compartment.
He hid the box inside. And judging from his tone, it was estimated that this was just a preliminary arrangement. If there was enough time, it would be more secure and concealed.
"It's already very good." Verak was glad for his decision to buy Diaz.
No matter how you look at it, Diaz is perfect.
Loyal, brave, and thoughtful.
It is not easy to capture even one of these three points.
"It's still not safe enough." Diaz is still not satisfied with hiding here. "When we move to the Rovid Hotel, I will find a place to stay. It shouldn't take too long."
"I believe in you, just go ahead and do it." Verak did not hesitate to show his trust.
"Thank you, Mr. Chris." Diaz still looked a little flattered. He was very touched by the way "Chris" treated others with no sense of hierarchy and distance.
"It will be inconvenient for us to meet you if you stay at the Rovid Hotel in the future. So we are in regular contact. Starting next week, I will pass by Clayton Gardens at 6 pm every day. If anything happens, I will get off the car to meet you. If you see
As long as I don't get out of the car, it's okay." Verak arranged the way to meet in the future.
Diaz carefully wrote down: "Understood."
"Then I'll leave first, please be careful." Verak learned that Nord was still alive and was satisfied after arranging Diaz's follow-up matters. He said goodbye to Diaz and went out.
Entering the stairwell, Verak did not rush down. Instead, he leaned against the wall, covered his face with his hands, and slowly squatted down.
Diaz was here just now, but he held it back, and now there was no one in the stairwell. He could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, and laughed and cried. This was the first time he had lost control of his emotions after coming to Lezein for so long.
Under the intermittent sobs, Verak showed his brightest smile and wiped his tears.
Coming here again, he gained something and lost something. He finally knew where those things ranked in his heart.
Nord is more important than 550,000 gold grams.
Learning that Nord was still alive was the best news Verak felt he had received so far.
"You brat..." The sobs gradually stopped. Verak wiped his tears and kept his voice like a whisper, scolding Nord, "It's good to be alive..."
After releasing and calming down his emotions for more than ten minutes in a rare environment where he could maintain his true self, Verak finally got up, walked to the window and used the blurred reflection to confirm that he could not tell that he had cried, and then walked downstairs easily.
Got back to the car.
Daniel felt the unprecedented joy of Verak, and couldn't help but ask: "Have you encountered anything happy? Mr. Chris."
"Yes." Verak leaned back on the chair, grinned, and his eyes sparkled.
"Can you tell me?" Daniel asked curiously.
"Well..." Verak wanted to share his joy, so he changed his words, "I saw a very good story, saying that once upon a time there were three very good lambs, and the second one felt that there was an unknown person in the distance.
I was worried about running out of grass and not worried about the stormy world, so I took the eldest and the third child without hesitation to search for that world. Later, due to some things, on the way to find that world, the eldest brother died, and the life and death of the third child were uncertain. In the end
The remaining second child began to question himself. He felt that he had killed the oldest and the third child. He felt that maybe such a beautiful world did not exist. Even if it existed, even if he found it, he would not be happy if he was the only one left. Gradually,
The second child feels that he is about to forget who he is and where he comes from. The only meaning of his life seems to be to find that world. As for what will happen after finding that world, even he doesn't know much about it. He only knows this
It will not let down the boss and the third child who trust it."
Daniel turned his head and looked quietly at Verak, who was sitting behind him with a smile on his face, as if he was telling a fairy tale.
"At this time, the second child learned that the third child is still alive. It is far away from the second child. It still trusts the second child and is still trying to catch up with the second child." Verak said with tears.
With eyes filled with tears, he glanced out the car window, "The second child has come to life, and all its efforts have become more meaningful. It will continue to go down, find that world, and then go to the world that has always been following him.
The third child, who was not shaken at all, reached out his hand... It’s a good story, right?”
"That's great." Daniel didn't know whether he was really affected by Verak's story or simply agreed.
But this is not important to Verak. He wants to tell the whole world, and even more, he wants to tell Nord that he will definitely do it, go to the world he longs for, and then turn around and drag Nord in.
But I can't say it yet, because he is not Verak now, but Chris.
"Okay, let's go back after wandering around for a while." Verak's mood recovered and he turned around and said.
"Okay, Mr. Chris." Daniel drove the car and started wandering aimlessly.
For the first time, Verak lay by the car window with great interest and watched the scenery along the way.
…
In the evening, because there was a charity dinner, Verak did not eat at home. He just went back and changed into a glamorous dress. After Fletcher's repeated instructions, he set off for the venue where the dinner was held.
The charity dinner will be held at eight o'clock sharp.
Verak arrived at 7:55. At this time, many celebrities had arrived at the door of the Baihui Hotel where the dinner was held. Verak took Daniel and joined the crowd, and showed the invitation letter to the waiter at the door. The waiter brought
Verak entered the hotel and went all the way to the lobby on the second floor.
Although the previous life of Verak did not have the opportunity to face big scenes alone, he also attended charity events with the Carmine family, so since he entered the scene, he was always calm and elegant, greeting the dignitaries he met politely.
"Chris."
Just after Verak sat down under the arrangement of the waiter, a gentle call came from behind him.
"Huh?" Verak turned his head and looked stunned.
The person who called him was Elizabeth, whom Kellerman had said had an unresolved relationship with Chris.
