Chapter 329 Breaking the Miracle
Aaron, who was standing behind the registration counter reading a book, suddenly heard a noise.
Raise your head.
Ha, Laura.
As usual, Lola emerged from the anchor point on the rooftop and went through the stairwell to the lobby.
However, today Lola just stood at the entrance to the stairwell without moving forward.
Aaron sensed something was amiss, frowned slightly, closed the book, and left the counter.
As he approached, he asked, "Lola?"
At that moment, Aaron saw Laura biting her lip tightly and heard her breathing heavily through her nose.
"What's wrong?" Aaron asked again.
Lola still didn't answer, but finally took a step forward.
Once she was close enough to Aaron, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
then--·
It was a hysterical outburst of crying.
Although Lola doesn't laugh much, Aaron has never seen her cry.
This was the first time Lola had cried in front of Aaron, and her cries were so sorrowful and heartbreaking.
She kept crying, and it seemed she wouldn't stop.
Aaron knew that Laura was really, really sad at that moment.
But what could Aaron do?
After much thought, he realized he could only do one thing.
That is, to stand here and let Lola cry her heart out.
And every now and then, he would put his hand behind Lola's back to help the girl catch her breath.
Lola cried and cried, and the more she cried, the more aggrieved she felt.
Her tears soaked Aaron's shirt and seeped into his skin.
But Aaron would never push her away.
If she had another person to confide in, she would never have specifically come to Aaron to have a good cry in the library.
That's why Aaron guessed who Laura's crying was related to.
But now is not the time to ask questions.
Aaron remembered that when Laura first arrived, she was a girl with eyes full of confusion and fear.
However, she is also a strong girl.
Although she couldn't communicate with Aaron at that time, Aaron discovered that she was actually very thoughtful.
She could tell that Anne didn't like her, so she deliberately avoided Anne.
Therefore, Aaron could guess that even before Henry took her to the New World, Laura must have been a lonely girl.
But for some reason, the two girls suddenly became very close.
Aaron was actually very happy, and he was happy for Lola too, because she might not be so lonely anymore.
However, Lola seemed to care about Anne too much; from then on, she followed Anne everywhere she went.
And she obeyed everything Anne said.
Aaron had warned Laura many times, but to little avail.
But if the relationship between the two can stay good forever, then there is actually no problem.
The problem is that "forever" is such a demanding premise.
This moment is the moment of salvation.
So, Lola, what exactly happened between you and Anne?
Or did Annie encounter an accident?
But in either case, Aaron didn't want to see it.
After an unknown amount of time, Lola's voice became hoarse from crying, and she was finally only able to sob softly.
Aaron continued to stroke Lola's back, as if to tell her that she was not alone.
Finally, even the sobbing stopped.
Lola also released Aaron and took a few steps back.
She stood there, propped up her sunglasses with her arm, and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.
But soon, clear tears slid down her face from her sunglasses.
Oh my God, Lola, how heartbroken are you?
But at least, Lola stopped crying.
Lola stood in front of Aaron with her head down.
After much deliberation, Aaron reached out and gently stroked Lola's head.
And try asking, "Would you like to come over and sit for a while?"
Laura did not react.
That is, not to refuse.
Ok.
She's just a little girl after all.
Aaron gently pushed Lola's back, leading her to the bench and helping her sit down with her back to the long table.
Then I knelt down in front of her, facing her sadness with the gentlest expression I could muster.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Lola nodded.
"Okay, then, you go ahead and I'll listen."
Laura stared at Aaron for a long time, opening her lips several times, but no sound came out.
In the end, she still chose to tell the story.
Although by this time, her voice was already extremely hoarse from crying.
She then recounted what had just happened.
Lola met with Anne, and the two talked about Anne's background.
As always, she answered Anne's question frankly.
Yes, Lola is not good at lying, and even disdains to lie. Besides, she would never lie to Anne.
But Anne's emotions became increasingly agitated, which in turn caused Lola, who cared deeply for Anne, to become increasingly panicked.
She lost her basic judgment and couldn't figure out how to deal with Anne at this moment.
Lola could only keep talking, but only now did she realize that it was her own language that led to the final, disastrous consequences.
Negative consequences—
Anne broke off her friendship with Lola.
Lola said this was the consequence of her own actions.
Aaron simply listened without interrupting.
But Aaron breathed a sigh of relief at that inopportune moment, because he knew that Anne was alright.
At this point, Lola started crying again.
In the end, she still cared too much about Anne and her sister.
After Lola had finally finished crying, she looked at Aaron again:
"Aaron, is there any chance for Annie and me to get back together?"
Aaron could not offer Laura any assurances on this matter:
"I don't know, Laura."
However, Aaron's inner attitude was pessimistic.
Laura said Anne identified herself as Caroline Sinclair.
The given name is a common girl's name, but the key is the surname.
Sinclair, owner of the Platinum Codex, a member of the royal family of the Great Codex Kingdom.
So that's how it is! Anne is a princess!
"Hmm, Mrs. Auley," Aaron thought, "you really have stolen a priceless girl for me."
In other words, after Aurelia Capello assassinated the king, she also stole the kingdom's princess.
No wonder Aaron heard that Claude Sinclair's line had died out, so the court had to choose someone from a collateral branch to inherit the throne.
No wonder Mrs. Aurélien was unwilling to tell Aaron Anne's true identity.
She probably originally intended to kill the child, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it, so she simply abducted the baby and entrusted him to Aaron.
They wanted Anne to become an ordinary girl, with no further connection to the royal family.
But fate is a strange thing. After many twists and turns, Anne eventually returned to the royal family and learned her true identity.
But how was Anne recognized?
By the way, Anne has a uniquely shaped scar.
That scar was there ever since she was brought to the library, and that's probably why.
Hmm...
In that case, wasn't the connection between Anne and Aaron actually started with the help of Anne's enemy?
Aaron, however, was able to ignore everything. In his eyes, Anne was just Anne, and he could treat Anne as usual.
But I'm afraid Anne won't be able to do it.
Now that she knows her identity, she must have acquired hatred.
But Anne's enemy is dead, and Aaron is the closest person to Anne's hatred.
Only Aaron knew clearly who Anne's enemy was.
Given this, Anne probably wouldn't dare face Aaron again.
I also dare not face the library.
This naturally includes Lola, whom she met here.
Therefore, Aaron believes that the possibility of Laura and Anne reconciling is extremely slim.
Hearing Aaron's words, Laura became restless and fidgeted on the stool.
She lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, she asked:
"Aaron, are you Annie's enemy?"
This was a difficult question to answer. Aaron paused for a moment before replying:
"That depends on Anne's own definition."
"What do you mean?"
"Her hatred is not entirely unrelated to me, but until you told me these things today, I didn't even know what Anne's hatred was."
"So, you're saying your hatred wasn't directly caused by you?"
"no."
"indirect?"
“I wouldn’t really say that,” Aaron said. “I was just an ignorant outsider in that matter. But without me, it would never have happened.”
It was Aaron who saved Lady Aurelia and gave her that power.
It was Aaron who provided the conditions for this tragedy.
Although Aaron always hoped to interfere in other people's lives as little as possible.
But whether he admits it or not, his existence has indeed completely upended the lives of many people.
Aaron was never an innocent person, and he would never pretend to be innocent.
"Then—Aaron, should Anne hate you?"
Hmm—"That depends on her."
Lola lowered her head again, tears streaming down her face once more.
"Aaron, what should I do?"
Aaron could not answer.
"I originally thought that if you had nothing to do with this, Annie would be happy. If I told her about it, she might forgive me and make up with me. But—if you answer like this—how can I possibly make her forgive me?"
Although, but.
Aaron didn't think Laura had done anything wrong.
If there's anything wrong with Lola, it's that she cares too much about Anne, to the point of being somewhat subservient.
Aaron didn't say anything, he just continued to squat there, quietly watching Lola cry.
He was certainly sad for Lola, but there was nothing more he could do for her in this matter.
Lola's tears gradually stopped, but she didn't look up.
She sat quietly in place.
Lola was always very quiet.
But at this moment, it was so quiet it was heartbreaking.
What is she thinking?
This girl's thought process is always hard to guess.
When Lola looked up, her face was expressionless.
She stared blankly at Aaron, then jumped off the stool.
Then, without saying a word or looking back, he walked towards the stairwell.
At that moment, Aaron felt as if he was about to lose something.
He couldn't help but call out, "Lola—"
Upon hearing this, Lola turned her head and looked behind her.
Aaron took a deep breath and said:
"You are not alone; the library will always welcome you back."
Lola turned around.
She looked up at Aaron and remained silent for a long time.
Until she said, "I won't be coming again."
The library was eerily quiet.
Just like it has been through countless years.
"Annie won't let me see her anymore, so I don't plan to come back here either. I'm sorry, Aaron—"
What else could Aaron say?
He tried to smile: "Don't worry about it, Lola."
"No, I'm not Lola."
Laura firmly denied Aaron's statement.
"If Anne is no longer Anne, no longer a Booker, then I don't want to be a Booker anymore either."
"Lola is dead. I am no longer Lola Booker. I am a green-eyed person, I am Tuscalola!"
Aaron suddenly remembered that it was Laura's original name.
Lola took off her glasses and placed them on the table beside her.
She gave Aaron one last look with her green eyes.
Then, he resolutely stepped toward the end of the world.
As she walked into the stairwell, Aaron had a premonition that this might be the last time he saw Lola.
Aaron decided to say one last thing:
Remembering that Lola had stopped and tilted her head slightly, I recall that she had stopped.
But in the end, he didn't turn back or turn around.
She continued walking.
They disappeared from the stairwell.
It disappeared from the library.
However, Lola's copy of "The Knot of the Clouds" has not yet been returned.
Forget it.
Aaron will get it back sooner or later anyway.
That banned book can come back.
only.
There are two books that may never come back.
Aaron stepped forward and picked up the sunglasses.
Many people have come and gone from the library.
This time, however, I felt the most disappointed.
Aaron picked up his sunglasses and walked back to the registration counter.
I opened the locked drawer and put the sunglasses inside.
Lock it again.
Raise your head.
Looking at the library, which was full of books but empty.
years.
It's terrifyingly lonely.
This afternoon.
Aaron went into the bedroom.
He collected all the items that originally belonged to two girls and planned to put them in a corner where no one would ever visit again.
However, there are still far too many traces that Aaron cannot erase.
In the end, he could only hide in front of the mirror.
I faced that portrait again.
At that moment, that damned, lying mirror emitted a disgusting laugh.
"They'll never come back!"
Aaron decided that he had to find an opportunity to smash the mirror.
"You shouldn't care about anyone, just like me."
Perhaps that's true, but Aaron is ultimately not a mirror.
He didn't intend to reply.
The mirror, however, intended to continue its influence on Aaron's thoughts.
但·
With a loud slamming of the door, the sound from the mirror was abruptly cut off.
He is unable to speak or act in the presence of a third person.
Aaron turned and looked towards the gate.
A young man who had his tumor removed stood at the door; Aaron felt he had seen him before.
He grinned and laughed loudly, "Haha, I've come for revenge! Who told you to touch my woman!"
Only then did Aaron remember who this person was.
He called himself David, the town's barber.
The man's wife, Sofia Maldini, arrived at the library on their wedding night.
Therefore, David suspected that Aaron and Sophia were having an affair.
Aaron felt he had explained things clearly to David last time and had also demonstrated some of his strength, so how dare this man come to cause trouble again?
Just as Aaron was pondering how to deal with the people at this moment.
David suddenly rolled a bucket into the library.
Then, he closed the door and quickly fled.
Aaron had absolutely no idea what this person was doing, but then—"Boom!"
Suddenly, an explosion was heard.
The wooden barrel exploded.
Aaron stepped forward.
Aaron stared wide-eyed in horror at the spot where the wooden barrel had exploded.
He swore he had never been so panicked.
The ground was blown up, leaving a huge crater.
This signifies the powerful miracle that has protected the library from damage to this day—
It's been broken!
