Operation Red Book

Chapter 225: Ms. Beatrice de Poppa

There were a few bird calls outside the window, which were very melodious.

Maybe it's a magpie, maybe it's a thrush, most likely it's a yellow warbler.

No one knew, because Joshua and Moriarty were in no mood to listen to the beautiful singing of the birds.

Their minds were blank at this moment, like the razed island of Japan.

In front of him was the wooden door of the ward, and the copper door handle was only a few inches away from Joshua.

The air was filled with a burning heat. Beads of sweat fell from Joshua's forehead and he swallowed unconsciously.

“Bang, bang, bang—wooooo! I’m getting a stye! Aaaaaah!”

There were indistinct cries coming from outside the door, and several layers of wood dust fell off the wooden door as fists hit it.

"Joshua! Mr. Moriarty! Joshua, save me! I'm just a cute, pitiful eight-year-old kid!"

Joshua shook when he heard the sound. His hanging right hand trembled constantly and he couldn't move it very far despite trying to raise it several times.

"Open...open the door..."

Moriarty spoke softly behind Joshua. He was usually calm and composed, but at this moment his tone seemed a little frivolous and empty.

“You are older than me, you…you open it…” Joshua swallowed again.

"You stand closer, I'll give you this opportunity..." Moriarty's light blue eyes trembled in his sockets.

"You are my senior... You are more familiar with SCO than I am..."

"Then I order you to open the door..."

"Student Ivy seemed to have called my name just now..."

"No, she didn't..."

“Ahhhhhh – Alexander fainted! Fortunately his hands are moving… moving towards his eyes!”

"Mr. Jacob! Mr. Jacob! Don't go to the window and pray! Don't jump--"

It won’t work if you don’t open it!

Joshua stopped trying to evade the challenge with Moriarty. He gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes, and twisted the wooden door open.

Thomas was knocked to the ground by his sudden rush. Joshua had no time to help him up, so he ran towards the window staggeringly based on his memory.

Joshua's face was so red that blood seemed to drip out. He lowered his head as much as possible, trying to keep his sight limited to the floor.

"Mr. Jacob, it's not necessary! It's not necessary! Mr. Alexander, it's not necessary! It's really not necessary!"

There was a mixture of black and white in Joshua's peripheral vision. He didn't have time to think about it. After grabbing Alexander's hand that was about to grab his eyes and Jacob's body that was about to jump off, he ran into the room behind Moriarty without looking back.

Mr. Moriarty is indeed well-informed. He can be so calm in front of the naked body of a woman...

Huh? He stared at people with his arms crossed. Is he more open-minded than Mr. Holmes?

Joshua thought this in his heart. He took a long breath in the ward before he gradually calmed down the shy deer in his heart.

Gradually, doubts filled Joshua's calm mind - Mr. Moriarty stared directly at the female body? Ridiculous!

Thinking of this, Joshua took a long breath, and slowly straightened his body, but he still didn't have the courage to look directly at the darkness behind him.

"I was just taking off my coat, why are you making such a fuss?"

A lazy, calm voice with a thick Spanish accent came from behind, once again awakening Joshua's heart that had finally calmed down.

The voice was a little thick, with a hint of anger in the tone, but more of it was helplessness and sarcasm.

"My beautiful lady, what can I do for you at Johns newspaper?" Moriarty's voice returned to its original coldness and calmness.

"My name is Beatrice de Popa, I am Bell Cruz's cousin, and I am here to visit her on behalf of my relatives and elders."

Joshua finally got up his courage. He slowly turned his head and looked at the black and white figure again with a look that was half curious and half stunned.

Oh my God! Joshua swears to God that this is the most beautiful, sexy, and feminine woman he has ever seen.
