Chapter 823 The Past
Then Felix turned around and strode out.
Bella was totally stunned.
Queeny could not fall asleep that night.
Probably because of what happened or the fact that she had a terrible mood, she tried for a long timenovelbin
to fall asleep with her eyes closed but failed.
She opened her eyes and it was pitch black. She turned her head slightly, got the remote from the
table, and opened the curtains. Bright moonlight poured in.
Suddenly, she recalled the time when she was in the orphanage long ago.
It was also a summer night with a bright moon and many stars in the sky.
She could not sleep one night and slipped into the kitchen to steal some snacks. Then she climbed up
the stairs at the back of the yard to the roof.
She ate the snacks and looked at the stars. A cool night breeze came at her.
Just then, a boy's shout came from below.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
She was startled and thought it was Mr. Webber. She tried to stand up, but she stepped on a mossy tile
and fell off.
The boy was probably startled too and stood still as she fell off.
As a result, she fell on top of him and they fell to the ground together.
The boy was sore all over and it took them a long time to get up from the ground.
As soon as she saw him, she got angry and punched him on the shoulder.
"Why did you shout? You freaked me out. I thought you were Mr. Webber."
Felix covered his sore chest with a look of anger.
"Why were you sitting on the roof in the middle of the night?"
Queeny looked guilty.
She could only whisper, "It's none of your business!"
Felix was furious, but there was nothing he could do but snort.
"If you keep acting like this, I'll tell Mr. Webber and let him punish you."
Queeny was scared.
It took her a long time to find a place to live. There were clothes and food there and she could go to
school. She didn't want to be kicked out.
So she took his sleeve and begged, "Fine. Sorry. Please don't tell him."
Felix gave a cold snort.
They stood in the small yard. He looked up at the roof and suddenly got curious.
"Is it really that comfortable sitting up there?"
Queeny said, "Of course. It's hot inside but it's cool on the roof and you can look at the stars. Would
you like to try?"
Felix was raised to be obedient and had never done anything like this before.
So he shook his head without hesitation.
"No."
However, Queeny took his sleeve and said, "Come on. Maybe you'll like it! I'll take you up."
He was reluctant but she was being pushy. Finally, they climbed up the stairs together.
Being on the roof was different from being on the ground.
The sky seemed to be within reach.
The building of the orphanage wasn't the highest, but it was very high in this poor town.
Therefore, they could see the scenery around on the roof. It was spectacular.
He was in a better mood and finally understood why she loved to stay on the roof.
Just then, Queeny pulled out some snacks from her pocket and put them into his hands.
Before he could say anything, she put some in her mouth and munched them.
She turned and raised an eyebrow when she saw his surprised look.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Come on. We can't just sit here. That would be boring!"
Then he put some snacks in his mouth as she did.
This elegant young master had never done anything like that before.
He had never eaten snacks and watched the stars on the roof in the middle of the night.
He didn't really want to get up there, but looking at her bright eyes, he did what she said without being
aware of it.
Later, Felix was confused.
Did this little girl have some kind of magic power? Why had he become as rebellious as she was?
He didn't allow himself to do that!
However, he broke his word.
Under Queeny's guidance, he stepped out of line a few more times.
He said he wouldn't do it but he did what she said at last almost every time.
Gradually, they grew up.
Originally, she led and he followed, but later he led and she followed.
It probably started when Felix left the orphanage and returned to his family.
Queeny didn't know about it. She just sensed when they met again that the man in front of her was no
longer the innocent boy she once played with.
The night breeze set her mind wandering.
She recalled the sunny and warm afternoon.
The boy was sitting in the yard under the grape arbor. She walked towards him and met his eyes.
It was late at night.
Queeny didn't know when she fell asleep.
She had a dream.
In her dream, there were corpses and blood everywhere. Countless people were shouting and killing
each other, which was chaotic and miserable.
She was walking aimlessly with her hair loose and watching her companions fall one by one. She tried
to reach out to pull them, but her hand went through their bodies.
Just then, a bullet was fired toward one of her companions.
She stared and tried to warn him, but she couldn't make a sound.
In the end, she could only watch as he was shot in the forehead and died with an agonal gaze.
"Ah!"
Queeny woke up with a start.
It was dark and the wall clock ticked beside her. It was 4 a. m.
She closed her eyes, opened them after a while, and sat up.
She sweated so much from the nightmare that her nightgown was wet and stuck to her body.
She sat for a while. After those images disappeared from her mind, she lifted the covers, got out of
bed, and headed for the bathroom.
