Grace Ahara looked at Dr. Ali's big belly and nodded to express understanding, "Then let's drink juice first. My father should wake up around the same time. I'll order food for you later."
"No, don't bother." Dr. Ali smiled, looked at Haibara Ai who was eating the sandwich, and then looked at the sandwich on the plate with a resentful look.
Seeing how much Xiao Ai enjoys eating, can't he taste a little bit?
Haihara Ai took a bite of the sandwich and confirmed that it tasted similar to the one he had in the United States. He looked up and saw Grace Ahara also taking a piece and eating it deliciously. She couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think it's too sweet?
Are you tired of it?"
"No," Grace Ahhara swallowed the sandwich in her mouth, "Although many people will find it a bit greasy, I think I will be much happier after eating it."
Haibara Ai:"……"
If Grace Alhara was actually much younger than her, so young that she was born nearly ten years after her parents died, she would also suspect that Grace Alhara was related to her by blood.
"Do you like it too?" Grace Ahhara asked, taking another bite of the sandwich, looking at Haibara Ai expectantly, and said vaguely, "Do you still remember Ms. Akita?"
Hurry up and admit it, admit it.
If she could get all this done before Joshua woke up, it would be something to be proud of.
"No..." Haiyuan Ai was a little hesitant. She thought Anna was probably dead. Looking at Grace Ahala's expectant eyes, she felt that recognizing her would give Grace Ahala some comfort. She also needed it.
An identity, but she felt that it was not good or safe to assume someone else's identity, "I don't remember, and I'm not sure either..."
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't remember," Grace Ahhara chewed the sandwich with her eyes lowered, finalizing the matter in a matter-of-fact tone, "When I saw you, I knew you would not be wrong.
We are the only two people who look so similar."
Haibara Ai:"……"
That's right, the two of them look like they were carved from the same mold. Anyone who sees them will think that they are twins.
"When I saw you on the street, I was really surprised. I suspected that I looked in the mirror too much in the morning and my eyes were blurry. And I didn't know how to tell you or whether to say hello to you.
I've been following you all the time," Grace Ahhara took a bite of her sandwich and said to herself, "After all, you have your own life now, and I'm worried about disturbing you..."
Dr. A Li watched the two girls who looked the same stuttering at the same sandwich, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
It's becoming more and more like a clone.
And it's definitely not a disturbance. At this juncture, it should be said to be a good thing to help in times of need.
"And the same goes for me. I won't stay in Japan for too long," Grace Ahhara looked at Dr. Ali, "You wouldn't be happy if you followed me and my father to other places, right?"
Huihara Ai nodded, "My life is very good now."
"That's good," Grace Ahhara looked at Hui Yuan Ai's face that was exactly the same as hers, feeling a bit sincere, "otherwise, seeing you living a hard life, I think I would also be unhappy. Then
When the time comes, I will definitely kidnap you with my father."
This is the truth.
With this face exactly like her own, she couldn't bear to see the other person live in disgrace.
Haiyuan Ai felt that she felt 'friendship', and her eyes couldn't help but soften a little, "By the way, is your current father the one who will adopt you later?"
"It's my godfather," Grace Alhara said with a smile. "After my uncle passed away, he went to England to help me, and then he took me to live with him. He..."
"Click."
Hearing the door to the room being opened, Dr. Ali immediately turned his head and looked over.
Grace Alhara looked at the door, and after seeing Joshua going out, a smile appeared on her face, "Good morning, father!"
Dr. A Li looked at the man going out in surprise.
The man looks to be in his early twenties, wearing a white sweater, short dark brown hair with slightly curly curls, porcelain white skin, a high and straight nose, but a very gentle expression, which makes people subconsciously think that this man can be tolerant.
Self, tolerate everything about yourself.
It's just that for being called 'father', isn't this man a little too young?
"Good morning, Grace, although three o'clock in the afternoon is not too early," Joshua said in a gentle tone. When he looked at Grace Alhara, a pair of pure blue eyes were also filled with smiles. Soon,
Then he looked at Dr. A Li and Haibara Ai, "Are these two...?"
"Sorry to bother you," Dr. Ali stood up and smiled back. He didn't know how to explain it. He looked at Haibara Ai who stood up next to him and struggled, "Actually, we..."
"It's Anna," Grace Ahhara looked at Haihara Ai and smiled, "I told you!"
"Hello."
Hui Yuan Ai raised her eyes to meet Joshua's gentle gaze, said hello, and looked at Joshua secretly.
This man gave her a strange feeling that she couldn't describe.
If she wanted to find someone to compare with, the one she could think of was Brother Chi.
In the past, when Fei Chi put on traditional clothes or stood in an old building, he looked very strange.
Fei Chi, who was wearing a black kimono and drinking wine against the cherry blossom tree, had a cold and evil "demon spirit" all over him; Fei Chi, who was standing in an ancient building, seemed to be infected by the past.
It has lost the sense of obsolescence, but its appearance has not been eroded by the long river of time, which makes people feel unspeakably awkward; and Brother Fei Chi, who is sitting quietly in a white kimono, looks more like an indifferent god than a person who is alienated from the world.
…
As for the man in front of her, she felt much more worldly, and he also seemed easy-going and patient, like... a priest?
It's no wonder that she subconsciously compared him with Brother Fei Chi, because the two looked about the same age and had equally outstanding looks, and also because they both had a 'religious' aura, or rather a 'ghost, ghost, and snake god' aura unlike normal humans.
In short, this man is certainly not simple.
"Please sit down, please." Joshua walked forward with a smile and saw Haihara Ai and Dr. Ali sitting down on the sofa. He also sat across from him, looking at Haihara Ai and Grace Aiha.
La looked back and forth and sighed softly, "It's really exactly the same."
Dr. A Li: "..."
This gentleman's psychological quality is also a little too good. Although he is sighing, there is not much surprise on his face.
When I woke up, my goddaughter brought back a little girl who looked exactly the same. Even though I knew before that my goddaughter had a twin sister, she had been separated for many years and had no news. Isn't this a surprise?
Grace Ahhara sat next to Joshua and recounted her previous statement.
She was bored and walked out alone, and happened to meet a girl who bumped into her, so she followed her...
After Grace Ahhara finished speaking, Dr. Ali introduced himself.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is A Li. Everyone likes to call me doctor directly." Dr. A Li looked at Haihara Ai. "She is Haihara Ai. She lives in my house now and is taken care of by me."
"My name is Joshua, Grace's godfather and her current guardian."
Joshua directly gave his name.
This kind of name is not uncommon in Europe and the United States, and it is not exclusive to 'Father Joshua'. He continued to use this name when he returned to Boston, USA.
"Mr. Joshua, you didn't seem very surprised to see me just now?" Haiyuan Ai looked at Joshua and asked.
Since Grace mistakenly thought she was a twin, she also needed to see how the person Grace relied on was doing.
The little girl is young, so don't be abducted by weird bad guys.
Joshua's expression remained gentle, "I have always believed that there are not many things in this world that can surprise me."
"Are you a priest?" Hui Yuan Ai asked again.
Grace Ahhara was shocked.
Was it seen out?
"No," Joshua's tone remained unhurried, and he lamented to Haiyuan with a smile, "I am a church believer and a scholar who studies world religions."
"Oh?" Dr. Ali became interested and said with a smile, "No wonder you feel so elegant, you are a scholar. So, are you coming to Japan this time to take Grace for a trip, or for work?
Are you here specifically to learn about Japanese religious legends?”
"My current topic is focused on Western religion, not Japanese religion. Of course, if I have the opportunity to learn more about it, I would be happy," Joshua said, looking at Grace Alhara, "This time I am taking Grace with me.
Come on a trip and take her to visit Ms. Akita's grave. After all, she is her uncle's friend... By the way, do you two want to go with us?"
"Let's go together," Grace Ahhara said with a smile, "An... Xiao Ai."
Hui Yuan Ai hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
The four of them went to the restaurant on the third floor to eat first, and then took a car together to the grave of Riko Akita.
Grace Alhara, Joshua just stood quietly in front of the tomb without speaking.
Dr. A Li and Haihara Ai did not interfere at will. They stood aside for a while before leaving the cemetery.
Before leaving the cemetery, Dr. Ali and Haihara Ai discussed in a low voice and decided that they could not give up the proof materials that were delivered to them.
"By the way, Mr. Joshua," Dr. Ali stopped Joshua at the entrance of the cemetery, "how long do you plan to stay in Japan?"
"I want to take Grace to the Tokyo Tower in the evening. She should travel around Tokyo tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Then I want to take her to Osaka and Kyoto." Joshua said with a kind smile on his face, "About a week
I’ll leave after that.”
"That's right, I have another unwelcome request," Dr. Ali smiled awkwardly, then bent down and said to Grace Ahhara, "Of course, Grace must agree to this, I think...
…”
"Can you give me the birth certificate, death certificate and entrustment agreement?" Haihara Ai spoke for Dr. Ali, looked at Grace Ahhara and said, "Of course, if you want to keep the originals as a souvenir, I just need
Just leave a copy."
Grace Ahhara looked up at Joshua, took off the backpack on her back, opened the zipper, took out the birth certificate and a letter inside, and handed it to Haibara Ai with a smile.
"Here you go! After Ms. Akita passed away, the things were burned in the fire. You didn't have a birth certificate, so you ran into a lot of trouble, right? I should have found you long ago and given the things to you, but it shouldn't be too late now. I
All I need to do is leave Ms. Akita’s reply to my uncle, and we’ve left each other’s contact information, so it doesn’t matter whether we have a souvenir or not.”
