Chapter 74 Entanglement Emerges
The baby flapped its hands, and the sounds that came out of its toothless mouth were much louder than expected.
Aaron had little experience with babies and was somewhat at a loss in the face of the situation.
"She might be hungry," said Aurelia. "I have a baby bottle in my clothes, and there should still be some milk left in the water bag. Mr. Mosley, could you please pour it into the bottle and feed her?"
Aaron immediately did as he was told.
The deerskin water bag has a very large capacity, but there is not much milk left inside.
The baby bottle is made of glass, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, shaped like a tungsten filament light bulb.
The bottle opening was sealed with a cork, and a silver nipple was inserted into the cork.
A pacifier is a thin, protruding column, except that the tip is molded into a round shape suitable for sucking.
Aaron placed the bottle full of milk in front of the baby. Her crying gradually subsided, and she hugged the head of the bottle and began to drink vigorously.
"Sir, don't feed her too quickly, be careful she doesn't choke," Aurelia reminded him.
Aaron nodded and lowered the angle at which he was holding the bottle.
Looking at the baby girl who had become well-behaved again, Aaron let out a long sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Auley and found her smiling at him.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Great job," said Aurelia.
"I can't be happy at all," Aaron said from the bottom of his heart.
"Mr. Mosley, you really are a kind person. With you taking care of her, she will definitely be happy."
Aaron shrugged. "No one is happy because someone breastfed them, Mrs. Auley. I think you know she couldn't possibly remember that."
"Yes...but I think you two will have many unforgettable memories from now on."
Upon hearing this, Aaron suddenly became alert:
"Lady Aurélie, what do you mean?"
"Sir, there's something I'd like to ask you... it's about her."
"No, no, no..."
Aaron refused repeatedly, but at that moment, the baby girl suddenly made a fuss:
"Cough...cough...cough..."
"She's choking, sir, cough! Quickly turn her over and pat her back!" Aurelia immediately reminded him.
In this emergency, Aaron did as instructed, cradling the baby in his palms.
But looking at such a tiny life, Aaron dared not exert too much force.
"Push harder!"
Aaron gritted his teeth and slammed the slam down hard.
"Cough... Waaah..."
The crying started again, but Aaron and Aure breathed a sigh of relief.
Aaron quickly found a chair and sat down, then looked wearily at Aurelia:
"Madam, as you can see, I am just an ordinary librarian. I am a man and cannot take care of a baby. Therefore, please entrust this matter to someone else."
But Aure shook her head and said, "Mr. Mosley, I have no one to ask for help, and as you can see, I don't have long to live. In my current state, I have no way to find her a kind foster family... Sir, you are her only hope."
"Well……"
Aaron hesitated for a moment, then looked at Aurelia with melancholy.
"Madam, you really know how to make things difficult for people."
"I'm sorry, sir, I owe you too much, and I'm no longer able to repay you."
As she spoke, Aure closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
"The mistakes I made are unforgivable, and I deserve to go to hell, but if at least this girl can be freed from her tragic fate and hatred, I think that can be a small form of redemption for me."
Aaron frowned and stared at Aurelia for a long time.
The baby girl cried incessantly, continuously disturbing Aaron's peace of mind.
He finally shook his head heavily and sighed:
"Sigh...Alright, madam, I promise you."
Aurelia turned to Aaron and gave a weak smile:
"Thank you, Mr. Mosley, kind and gentle man."
"Lady Aurélie, there is only one thing I must make clear: the reason I agreed was purely because it was your request, and it has nothing to do with kindness or gentleness."
Aaron wouldn't offer help to someone he had no connection with for no reason, but Aure was not an unrelated person.
Aure gave Aaron an extraordinary power and brought him three years of excitement, allowing him to temporarily forget his loneliness.
Her name will forever be recorded in the "Banned Books Borrowing Record," occupying an entire page.
Perhaps the debts between them had long been settled, but Aaron didn't mind spending more time on it, since his life was so long that even he found it terrifying.
Moreover, Aaron had wronged Aurelia, preventing her from seeing Natalie in the final moments of her life.
Even if it was just to make up for his guilt, Aaron was willing to agree to Aurelius's request.
"I understand, sir."
Aurelia nodded with a smile, while large tears streamed down her face.
"Ah, Mr. Mosley, it's so good to meet you..."
"Perhaps I should give her a gentle kiss on the cheek," Aaron thought, "but I'm just a man who doesn't understand romance."
There were some things he needed to say at this moment:
"Madam, since I have agreed, I will certainly take good care of her. However, I have no experience in raising children. I cannot guarantee that I can raise her to adulthood, let alone what kind of person I can raise her into."
"Sir, just do your best. As for the girl's fate, I won't force it."
Hearing this, Aaron felt a little relieved of his heavy mood.
"So, Mrs. Auréli, what is this girl's name?"
Aurée shook her head and said, "I can't say, Mr. Mosley. Please give her a name. You will raise her, and you have the right to name her."
"What about her parents? If she were to ask me one day who her parents are, how should I answer?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I can't say either," Aure shook her head again. "At that time, please just adapt to the situation as it arises."
Aaron couldn't help but sigh:
"Madam, you've really dumped all these troublesome problems on me..."
He looked at the baby; she was so small, so why was her crying so loud?
So I picked up the bottle and handed it over.
The baby immediately grabbed the bottle opening and began to suck, which stopped the crying.
But with her other hand, she gripped Aaron's little finger tightly.
"She likes you, sir," Aurelia said at that moment.
Aaron just pursed his lips and gave a wry smile.
In this way, he will form another bond with a baby girl.
I just hope it's not a tragic fate...
"By the way, Mr. Mosley, there's something I'd like to confirm with you," Aure suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"Did you kill anyone four or five years ago?"
Murder? Aaron was confused. Why was Aure asking this?
But he still recalled carefully: "I killed them, three people, the three freedom fighters who chased you and Natalie to the library."
"What about the others?"
"No," Aaron shook his head, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"That's great..." Aure breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, you didn't kill my husband..."
Aaron frowned and asked, "Why do you doubt me?"
"Because I learned that the cause of my husband's death was almost exactly the same as the deaths of those three freedom fighters..."
Aaron shuddered upon hearing this.
Suddenly turning my head, I looked in the direction of the mirror...
Miss Brianna...?!
