Chapter 19

She was standing before a painting in a wide hall full of paintings and gold ornaments surrounding each painting. She took a step forward, and her footsteps were heard echoing in the empty hall, The floor was made of pure marble, reflecting her image. She put her blonde hair behind her ear and raised her blue eyes, looking at the man in the painting with concentration. She moved her lips, but her voice did not come out.
"You're not acting like a kidnapper," the voice of a young man in his mid-twenties was sitting in the middle of the stairs, but the little girl didn't look at him.
"Heh, are you ignoring me? Are you ignoring me?" She was still looking at the painting silently and then walked while looking at the paintings one by one, until she felt someone's shadow and turned to see him, it was he who came down the stairs.
"Why don't you answer me when I call you?" She looked at his lips as he spoke and took two steps back to move her lips while also moving her hands.
The other tilted his head a little puzzled, and she returned with a slower movement.
"I'm not.. I'm afraid.. of you," he said while trying to read her lips.
I nodded in agreement.
Can't you talk?
Bella nodded and then moved her lips to him again with "What's your name?"
Don't have a name
"This isn't a name, it's just a token that puts on the unknown, if I were Carl I'd put X"
Irina showed a chuckle, as he looked at her in astonishment, she is not at all afraid of her current situation even though she is only a thirteen-year-old child
.........
"visitor?" Raven uttered it and then turned to Rex inside.
"Is Irina here?" simply ask
"Oh that..." Alster said, hitting Angelus on the head.
"Ouch" Alster grabbed his head while Rex furrowed his eyebrows questioningly.
"She's not here, and we have nothing to do with her," said Raven, crouching down, looking at the irons in his hands, moving them.
"Okay..." Rex wanted to leave.
"If we can help?" Raven told Rex to stand up
"It seems you haven't received assignments in a while," Rex said bored, and then asked, "Who was that? I mean, who's hovering around the Smiths?" He looked at Raven silently
"how much you pay?"
"Nothing," Rex said bored
Her name is Rex Smith, right? Thank you for freeing my brother from Irina Smith's confinement.
A look of bewilderment appeared on Rex's face as they watched his reaction, he didn't know then
..........
Have you been treated in a psychiatric hospital before?
Carl looked annoyed and looked the other way wearily when he heard Lewis' question.
"Wait, mate! It's natural to find out about you while I'm looking for your family! Then what's the problem if you've been cured of..."
Lewis was silent looking at Carl, who seemed to have some memories wanting to enter his mind..
"It was an accident, it wasn't intentional... Then, I had some quick psychotherapy so I wouldn't get any worse."
"Quick," Lewis thought thoughtfully, "alone?"
Carl nodded in agreement as he continued, "Eric and Erin were their teacher with them, he was the one who took care of them.. he doesn't seem like an ordinary teacher."
"Can you tell me? I'm sorry for this request but please explain to me your father's attitude towards it."
.............
Little Carl's cries rose, still holding on to little Matthew's shoes. His cries were so agonizing, and his tears rolled down his cheeks,
On the other hand, Eric was silent, a deafening silence that paralyzed his thoughts as he looked with his wide eyes at those irons that Matthew had fallen from because of his push,
Irene's tears flowed as he looked at his two brothers who both did not seem to be well after this situation, he was wiping away his tears as they continued to flow, he was not making a sound.. Irene was crying silently but without stopping..
Next to him stands Eren and in front of him is Eric, and Carl is a little further near the irons, his three children around him, none of them seem to be well after this accident, he hears the sound of the ambulance and Carl's screams increase and Eric puts his hands on the ground.
The father finally decided to act... He
walked with quick steps and grabbed Eric's shoulders and raised him to look at his face..
"Eric!!"
The other was looking at the void, not responding to it..
He started shaking him and calling him to no avail..
"Eric, please! Say something! Listen to your dad!"
He stroked his cheek gently and blushed so that he might wake up. He hugged him to his chest and pulled him tightly.
Here the snake appeared and gasped while seeing the situation, it took its steps and before it took any step..
"Take Eren and comfort him outside, behave with Eren and leave the others to me." He looked at her sadly.
She grabbed her hand, then picked up Irene and walked out without saying a word.
"Carl..." Thomas said while hugging Eric.
"Carl, please stop," but the other didn't shut up.
"You will lose another brother at this rate."
Carl's voice began to drop and you could hear small gasps as he looked at his father and Eric's silent body.
Thomas pushed Eric away from him for Carl to see clearly, Carl was angry at him and ran and pounced on Eric and knocked him to the ground and hit him in the chest while sitting on top of him.
"Carl!" Thomas said it and wanted to keep Carl away, but when he saw Eric's angle of view changed to look at Carl's face, Thomas left him, so Carl returned to hit Eric, and Thomas was watching the face of his young son Eric..
Eric moved his fists and placed them in front of his eyes to cry in a painful voice, not like Carl's screams and not like the silence of Irene, it was a faint, painful moan accompanied by faint gasps...
Carl can't stop beating and Thomas holds him away while the other tries to resist his father.
Slow steps came towards them and Thomas raised his eyes to see Nicholas standing with a very stiff face.
Nicholas approached Eric and picked him up and stood while Eric buried his face on his teacher's shoulder while the other patted his back.
"What... what are you going to do with him? It's... a child."
Nicholas did not comment and walked towards the door while Thomas was watching him..
"Please, Nicholas..."
"Don't worry, it's... my student, I'll just take care of him... I leave Carl to you... You can't handle two kids right?"
He said it and then went out leaving Carl with his father alone, nothing happened between them, the police started investigating
........
"The police came immediately afterwards and investigated separately with my father, his wife, the teacher and the servants, and with the investigations it turned out that it was just a child's play accident. Changes were made from many corners of the palace so that such an incident would not be repeated. The next day my father came in and took me to a psychiatric clinic. I received treatment while my brothers' teacher visits increased, as they both had private and joint sessions, and everything gradually calmed down and eased until we all passed that stage."
"Carl...that incident was the point where your father was prevented from seeing your mother."
Carl nodded "He's been stopping me before."
"Let me read this to you, Carl."
"I was wrong when I took him to his mother, After what happened to Matthew, Carl must be deprived of his mother until the last breath of one's life."
"I do not understand this!" Carl said in protest
"Let's see..." He suddenly fell silent as he looked at a computer screen and the memo data was quickly deleted.
"Gosh!!" Lewis said trying to figure out what's going on
"What's the matter, Louis!?"
"The data is disappearing and..." He was silent as he looked at the screen where he was writing on it without his intervention
"No matter who you are, You're messing with the wrong family"
"It has been revealed," he muttered, then swallowed his saliva, squatting back to reach for his fingers on the keyboard.
"Mr. Smith?"
"Do you have the nerve to talk to me after infiltrating the family property?"
"Well sorry, I was worried about a friend so..."
"Keep away from everything that belongs to him, or you will perish."
"Can I ask you who you are?"
"Final warning, stay away from everyone in the family"
"You Rex?"
The computer returned to its normal state before the hack, so it seems that the other party went out and took what Lewis hacked with him.
"Looks like it's going to be difficult, someone found out about me and prevented me from interfering," said Lewis, looking at Carl.
"I think you're going to get hurt," said Carl, swallowing his saliva as he imagined what had happened in his father's mansion when Matthew died and when X came to visit his father, and the news of Raven and his friends breaking up earlier.. He
looked at Louis anxiously while the other looked at him calmly.

About crying A
person's crying upon the death of a loved one is a kind of weakness and despair, and it means the inability to do something to save the situation and its subconscious purpose is to elicit the sympathy of others.
This was Carl crying when he lost Matthew..
Crying of regret is the most bitter and cruel type of crying for the soul.
This is what Eric felt when Carl made him cry.. And the sound of moaning that he showed expresses the extent of his pain, and the fact that he was silent before all of this with his shock, it means the huge amount of pain he received to bleed his heart and paralyze his thinking before the eye could comprehend what this body had received, and when Carl hit him, his body functions began to absorb the situation, so he started moaning...
Irene was the strongest in this situation, due to his distance from the topic from the beginning, it is not he who caused the fall of Matthew and not Matthew someone who means anything to him, but being a normal person cried out of fear and terror from what happened in front of him and he took the beginning of his subconscious step to save the situation from screaming at his brothers First and then running to his father second, which would not normally have been thought of by someone who was so moved by what was in front of him..
-----------
"Irina was kidnapped again!?" She said it while looking at her husband in horror after entering his office suddenly..
"Eric said she was kidnapped!" She said it again when she saw no reaction from her husband.
Thomas straightened his tie as he looked in the mirror.
"Know"
"What is that response!? What coldness did she..." She fell silent, then pulled her hair tight, biting her lower lip, tears in her eyes,
"What happened to you, Thomas..?? You weren't like that at all, Protecting herself! It's not Kaerin who survived earlier and not Kaerik who..."
She fell silent as he put his hand on her head.
"Calm down, everything will be fine, I'm trying as best as possible for my three little ones to be okay, trust me.. they are my children too, it's simply that I can't express yourself, but believe me... Irina is the closest, because she's the only girl she's ...the closest to me is that little one." Then he turned his face away and took his hand away from her head and walked out of the room quietly
She was running to explore the palace and see its corners as she opened every door she saw, while Wei was still sitting on the steps of the stairs, as if there was no better place in the palace than this..
