Chapter 176: The Tragedy Behind

Martina said with a heavy expression: "In fact, before departure, Miss Alya gave Jane to me... no, she told me the story of Jane to me when she asked me to bring it to you."

Lenas said inexplicably surprised: "You mean Alia gave Jane to me?"

Martina nodded and said slowly and heavily: "Jane is a poor child. Her hometown is our destination this time - the No. 30 colonial satellite of SIDE1."

"What? How could it be?" Renas sat down on the bed in shock, his lips trembling slightly, "How is this possible, what a joke!"

The seriousness of the matter is self-evident. It is conceivable that the colonial satellite that has become a dead place, what kind of emotions Jane would have now as a resident there.

Martina was able to accept Lenas's mood at this time, but she had to continue: "The year when the incident happened, Jane had become a student at Anaheim Academy. According to Miss Alia, Jane's father was a distant relative of her maternal family, but he was very poor and could not afford Jane's tuition. Therefore, during the summer vacation, Jane could only stay with Von Brown to earn tuition. It was for this reason that Jane escaped."

Renas calmed down slightly, her pale lips slowly moved, and she made a trembling voice: "That Jane's parents... won't be..."

Martina shook her head speechlessly.

Martina now truly felt that the unfortunate things were not so easy to speak for people who had nothing to do with them. At that time, Martina understood the complex feelings such as hesitation and unbearance when telling Jane's story. However, in order to explain them accurately, she had to press down on her inner resistance like Alia and tell Renas all the things Alia said to her.

Martina said: "Jane's mother died of dysfunction when she was born. She was dependent on her father for life. Now..." Martina sighed, then took a deep breath, and said in one go, "She is alone."

Lenas suddenly felt a sour feeling when she listened to Martina's words. Before she could figure out this feeling, she found that her vision had become blurred. In the blink of an eye, she saw a few small water droplets floating in front of her. Only then did she realize that she couldn't help but shed tears.

While moved and sympathized, Lenas's thinking did not stop. Lenas keenly noticed the content of Martina's words and asked, "Then, because of the relationship between Alia and Jane's father, Alia adopted Jane, right?"

"Yes!" Martina nodded and continued to speak slowly, "Miss Alya said that when she first saw Jane, she felt Jane was a bit like... like you. So she went through the adoption procedures without thinking."

"Me?" Renas looked at Martina in confusion.

Martina hurriedly added: "To be precise, Miss Alya means that the feeling you gave to her when you first met you was the same as the feeling you gave to her when you first met Jane."

Although it wasn't a joke, Lenas had to mutter privately: "How do you say yourself similar to a newcomer."

At this moment, Martina, who noticed that Lenas was not focused, suddenly raised her voice and said in a serious tone, "The two feelings she said are loneliness."

"Lonely?" Renas was shocked. This was the first time she had heard the influence of Alia on herself, and it was from others.

Martina returned to her tone and voice, and said, "But, Miss Alya said, Jane's condition was worse than you at that time. She hardly spoke much, nor did she contact others. She was completely... completely autistic."

Lenas didn't understand. Since it was the same feeling, the two people should be in similar situations. However, what Martina said about Jane's condition at that time was completely different from herself. No matter what, she could not tell that she was two people of the same kind who could give people the same feeling. However, Lenas immediately realized the situation that Alia might have encountered at that time.

After all, Alia is not a new human being and cannot have the ability to spy on others' hearts. However, she is an adolescent psychology expert and has been exposed to countless cases before. Lenas speculated that Alia must have looked at Jane from the professional perspective of a psychology expert, so that she could directly see through the essence and see what Jane and herself are in common.

Lenas admitted that the days when she first arrived in Von Brown, the surface of boring things was loneliness. However, Lenas' loneliness came from amnesia, and after amnesia and before she arrived in Von Brown, she had another remembrance experience, so she did not develop to Jane at that time. However, Jane, a person who already lives at the bottom, had no stable source of life after her parents and home, had no stable source of life. Her longing for her family and her confusion in the future may indeed form a special sense of loneliness, and eventually develop into collapse.

However, when Lenas sympathized with Jane's experience, she also doubted the relationship between Alia and Jane. Whether the so-called matriarchal distant relative is true is worth pondering. Because from all the signs, it is possible that Alia had sympathy in her heart, and it is difficult to give up Jane. Just like she did to herself at that time. As for that matriarchal distant relative, it is probably just a small method that Alia used to fail to legally adopt Jane.

Lenas continued to listen to Martina and said, "After this, although Miss Alya wanted to help Jane, it was the critical moment when the Valley was first established. Miss Alya was busy with official duties, so she could not be with Jane at all times. After a while, when Miss Alya met Jane again, Jane became like this, arrogant, impulsive, and impatient."

Renas sighed repeatedly and said, "This change is too fast, a bit abnormal."

Martina nodded and said, "That's right. Miss Alya feels the same way. The change comes too quickly, and it's simply changing from one extreme to another. Miss Alya concluded that Jane's situation is worse than before. If Jane was the previous one, and she was lonely and confused because she didn't know where to go, then Jane now could be said to be a shell controlled by something, but she was just forcing herself to live like this."

"I understand." Lenas said in a heavy mood, "it's hatred. Only hatred can bring a huge change to a person."

There are examples of people who change because of hatred on the battlefield. Renas is common, either because of hatred, he makes himself afraid, and finally he is destroyed by shrinking, or because of hatred, he makes himself exert his ultimate ability. In short, this is all because hatred makes people's hearts change.

Renas cheered up, stood up, and said to Martina seriously: "There is a civil shuttle on the Raditho. You can use it to send Jane back to the moon immediately!"

Lenas could not change his navigation for a person, so he could only let Jane leave. Moreover, Jane was undoubtedly an unstable factor at this time. Her inner hatred was likely to have done something extreme on the battlefield, especially to go to a special place like the Thirty satellite. Whether for the poor Jane or the whole ship, Lenas could only make such a decision.

However, Martina shook her head and said seriously: "I can't agree to your request, Major Renas."

Martina told Lenas that she was not joking. At the same time, the name Martina used was the military position "Major Lenas", and no longer the "Miss Lenas" she often called since she was in the underground factory of Anaheim Academy. This also shows that Martina had the awareness that she would refuse to execute even if Lenas' superiors issued orders on the pretext of an excuse.

Lenas couldn't help but ask loudly: "Matina, why do you do this? I'm for Jane's good. You don't know our destination."

Renas was already a little angry because she felt that Martina had no pity for Jane, who was already pitiful enough, and she would cause a second injury to the girl.

However, it seemed that she had been mentally prepared for a long time. Martina did not feel fear or surprise because of the rare anger of Renas. Instead, she quietly took out a rusty pocket watch from her pocket and handed it to Renas.

"This..." Lenas took the pocket watch suspiciously and opened it. When he opened it, he saw that the hour hand was no longer moving, but there was a photo of a young woman's face embedded on the inside of the lid. The photo was a bit old, but from the somewhat faded page, it could still be seen that the woman had an outstanding appearance, and this appearance was combined with thick and solemn red hair, showing a sense of dignity. More importantly, Lenas actually discovered that the woman's appearance was three-point like Jane.

"Is this woman... Could it be..." Lenas said in disbelief, "Is it Jane's mother? Then is this pocket watch Jane?"

"No." Martina shook her head, "to be precise, it's Jane's father's."

Martina explained: "In order to raise tuition for Jane, Jane's father used this pocket watch with a photo of Jane's mother as a gift. The pawn shop is the largest chain business in the Earth Circle. No matter where it is, it will be sent to Von Brown's headquarters for storage. After Miss Alya adopted Jane, she accidentally learned about this pocket watch, so she invested in buying it."

Lenas said in confusion: "If that's the case, you should return it to Jane!"

Martina shook her head and said, "Look carefully at that photo. Who do you think that woman looks like?"

Lenas observed it carefully in confusion, and the final conclusion was still Jane, and she answered the same.

Martina asked, "Don't you think you have something the same as this woman?"

"Me?" Lenas really didn't expect that he would finally talk about his head. However, even so, except for the hair of similar colors, Lenas still could not find what he had in common with this woman.

"It's temperament." Finally, Martina gave the correct answer and explained, "It's not just me, but even Miss Alya. When she saw this photo, your shadow appeared in her mind. Although it was just a forbidden image, the aristocratic aura emitted by the woman in the photo had some similarities with you. Although you don't look like each other, the sameness in temperament became the biggest common point between you."

"So, what are your plans?"

"For Jane, Miss Alya is helpless, and I have no choice, so..." Martina said very seriously, "Now it's up to you. You who have similarities with Jane's mother may be able to make her get out of the shadow."

"Impossible. Stop kidding." Lenas was in a heavy and complicated mood. This was the first time she encountered such a problem.

Suddenly, Lenas realized that she might be completely controlled by Alia. If anyone would know where she was before the warship sailed today, then there was only one person, that is Alia. Lenas once told Alia that she would go to the No. 30 satellite.
