Chapter 207 Deep Virtual Reality 34
"Rella, thank you."
Silvermoon knew that Rella desperately wanted nothing to do with the rebels, but she came anyway because she wanted to save her kind.
Silver Moon felt very apologetic. If he hadn't had no other choice, he wouldn't have involved Rella. He was too despicable for taking advantage of Rella's kindness.
Rella's expression softened slightly. "If you want to express your gratitude, remember to pay for the medical expenses."
She had to hurry back. Andrei had taken on a repair job today and probably wouldn't be back tonight. She needed to go back and look after the children. She had found two more children the day before yesterday. One of the human children had a deformed ear, and the other was a girl.
People in the slums give birth to children, but can't afford to raise them. They can't sell deformed children, and they don't like girls. For one reason or another, they just throw them in the trash.
Humans are so strange. Rella couldn't understand this behavior at all. If they were throwing away deformed children, you could say they liked perfect children, but why would they throw away a beautiful and healthy baby girl?
It was quite late when they got back to the rooftop. The younger children were already asleep, but Licia was still sitting in the small house checking materials and looking after the children. Under the dim light, the two children's sleeping faces looked exceptionally peaceful.
"Sister Rella."
"Lycia, why aren't you asleep yet?" Rella patted Lycia's head. The soft strands of her hair felt wonderful to the touch. Lycia was very pretty, like a doll in a shop window.
However, her originally waist-length blonde curly hair has been cut down to her shoulders because long hair is just too troublesome to manage.
"The baby is crying so much, he's probably hungry."
"It's okay, I brought back some baby formula. You can take a can back for Funa too."
Licia took the milk powder from the tin can, her eyes crinkling with pure and simple joy.
"Sister Rella, can I have another little sister?"
Rella understood what Lycia meant; she wanted to take care of the girl. Although somewhat surprised, she still refused, saying, "Lycia, you're already working so hard. Verna is still young and needs your careful care. If there's another child, you'll be distracted."
Moreover, Rella knew what Lycia was worried about and comforted her, "Little Lycia, this is the most equal home. Whether you're a boy or a girl, human or android, you're all the same, right?"
"right!"
Licia nodded vigorously. Actually, she wasn't very tired. Having been here for so long, she had gotten used to working. But she was always obedient, and Sister Rella and Brother Andre were both very good people; she trusted them.
Because she wasn't sleepy yet, Lycia propped her chin up and watched Rella write medical records. Rella was just as gentle as her older sister, except that her sister was more delicate, like a little bird in a cage.
She was her older sister's toy, that's what everyone in the manor said about her, but her older sister said no, that she was her younger sister, the same kind of person.
The older sister was always unhappy because she was getting married. For the first time, she wanted to escape the manor and take her with her, but the manor was too big and there were surveillance cameras everywhere. They were found very quickly.
Then her leg was broken. At that moment, her sister cried and, for the first time, abandoned all ladylike manners, clinging to her tightly and questioning the high and mighty master of the manor, her sister's father.
"Is it unimportant just because she's a girl?"
But the older sister was just a little bird in a cage; of course, she couldn't protect her toy, nor could she defy her own fate.
One night, my sister submerged herself in the bathtub. No one stopped her; perhaps that was what she wanted. And then her fate was deportation and destruction.
During the destruction process, a riot broke out in the factory area, which allowed her to escape. There, she met her sister Rella. There were many children there, including androids and real humans. They didn't mind each other's identities; they were all family and worked together to survive.
The first child Lycia found was Funa. Looking at Funa, who was so healthy and cute, just because she was a girl, she was thrown into the trash can?
Some families spoil their daughters rotten, while many others dislike girls, thinking they are useless. Some people can't have children and buy androids for comfort, while others abandon their children at will. The human world is truly complex.
Licia took the child out of the trash can; she wanted to tell Verna that even though she was a girl, she was important.
