You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 856

She said uncertainly, "Cara, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

"Have you seen this statue?" Caroline said, "I have checked it. There is no record of this statue on the Internet, and there are few records about this square. I've asked Selena about it, but she doesn't know."

Michelle stared at the face of the statue for a long time. The more she looked at it, the more familiar she felt. It seemed that she had really seen her somewhere, but the outline was very blurred, and she could not remember.

"I'm not talking about this statue. I'm talking about this person." She thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's just that the person I've seen looks like this statue. I don't remember who it is."

Michelle handed the camera to Caroline. Caroline answered, "Maybe it's a coincidence. According to the degree of damage of the statue, it should have a history of forty or fifty years. Let's ask the elders nearby to see if we can get something valuable."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the landlady who came over said enthusiastically, "Are you talking about the statue?"

Caroline raised her head and asked, "Yes, madam, do you know who the statue is?"

"I don't know. My mother-in-law just mentioned a few words about it. But unfortunately, my mother-in-law passed away. Otherwise, you can ask her. She likes telling stories very much." The landlady looked at the statue in the middle of the fountain and recalled it carefully.

"My mother-in-law said that the statue was a countess. She funded and designed the square. It was said that it was very lively more than 40 years ago, and it was a tourist resort. Many men and women liked to date here and throw coins in front of the fountain to make wishes.

At that time, I just learned to walk. I don't know who the countess is. My mother-in-law said that she was a beauty and had a good heart. Later, her whereabouts were unknown. Maybe her kindness offended the capitalist." The landlady looked a little regretful.

"What do you mean by that? What happened?" Caroline asked.

Michelle listened carefully and was curious about the story of the countess.

The landlady smiled, "It's just a rumor. And it's rumored that she died of illness. Her family members were afraid that they would miss her when they saw the statue, so they ordered to close this square. I married my husband for two or three years before the square was unsealed here and it became more and more lively slowly.

But my mother-in-law had always said that the countess was not dead but went someplace. No one knew where the countess was and her whereabouts were unknown. My mother-in-law also said that someone wanted to hurt the countess. When my mother-in-law was still alive, she liked to take a chair, hold a sunshade, and read books by the fountain. She wore a pair of presbyopic glasses, and read the same book. She always fell asleep before reading two pages.

On the day my mother-in-law passed away, she fell asleep in the chair. She died in peace." The landlady paused for a moment and added, "I seem to have said too much. I hope you won't feel me annoying."

"No, no, no." With her clear eyes wide open, Michelle said with a gentle smile and respect. "Thank you for telling us this."

"It's okay. Enjoy your meal."

Caroline asked, "Madam, do you know the name of that countess?"

"I don't know." The landlady shook her head. "No one knows her name, but I think my mother-in-law should know. Sometimes I always feel that my mother-in-law and that countess know each other, and they may be good friends."

In fact, both Michelle and Caroline had this feeling. When Caroline recalled what the landlady had said, an idea suddenly occurred to her. "Is the book your mother-in-law often read still here?"

"No. My mother-in-law took it away."

"Okay." Caroline smiled in disappointment.

Michelle asked curiously, "Cara, why do you ask that book?"

"I think it might be the countess send her the book. I want to see if there is any information about the countess in that book." Caroline raised her head and looked at the old statue, with a little regret in her eyes.

Perhaps it was because she had been staring at the statue for a long time that when she looked back at Michelle, she felt that Michelle's eyes were a little similar to the eyes of the statue.

The landlady suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, you reminded me!"

Michelle and Caroline looked at her at the same time.

"There is a name on my mother-in-law's book. It's too old and the name is blurred. My son carefully read it for a long time and only recognized one word. That's Monna." Said the landlady.

After the photography, Caroline searched online for "Monna", but still got nothing. However, she found a piece of information with the key words "the countess".
