"I don't understand why you secretly try to break up Aunt Kelly and Uncle Ed in another timeline?"

(???.???)????

Then, after staring at the other person's back for a while, Annie suddenly asked in a playful voice, and successfully saw the other person's hands stopping to pack things.

"?!"

Although he was a little panicked, the ship's doctor Claire quickly covered it up with a doubtful fake smile, and confidently asked Anne with annoyance:

"Annie, what are you talking about?"

"Why can't I understand..."

"Why do I want to break up Kelly and Ed in another timeline?"

Soon, Claire, who gradually calmed down, pretended to be careless and turned around again after asking. She continued to pack her medical instruments while continuing to ask without looking back.

"..."

(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~

Seeing that the other party still wanted to cheat on her, Anne blinked and looked at the other party for a while, and then revealed it mercilessly:

"Stop pretending!"

(?-?)?

"People have discovered that your 'clearing memory' potion is completely fake!"

o(*?^?*)o

"That's actually a simple bottle of saline solution for injection. Is that right?"

?(???*)

It was because there were so many people here that Anne didn't expose the other party in public. However, if the other party still didn't tell the truth honestly, she couldn't guarantee that she would go around and spread the word about it later.

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

"..."

At this moment, Claire, the ship's doctor who was packing her things, finally stopped making excuses. It was as if she acquiesced to Anne's accusation.

However, he didn't turn around in a hurry, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Aunt Claire, do you have a problem with Aunt Kelly?"

|?˙?˙)?

"Or are you saying you don't like Uncle Ed?"

(???.???)????

Anne felt strange about this matter, so she continued to ask.

"neither!"

"Okay, Annie, don't guess. To be honest, I didn't have any bad intentions in doing that."

"only……"

After looking at Anne and seeing that Anne seemed to be unwilling to give up easily without getting an answer, Claire sighed and continued to explain:

"It's very simple!"

"It's just that I'm not sure I can erase her memory without damaging her brain, and performing brain surgery immaturely is very inhumane. Just like John back then, do you still remember?"

"That's right, I'm talking about the incident where he almost lost his brain!"

"so……"

"I'm worried that something will happen, so just treat it as a well-intentioned deception, right?"

Claire slumped his shoulders. After packing up his things, he turned around and looked at the somewhat astonished little Annie with a proud look on his face and continued:

"And I thought about it then."

"If Kelly's feelings for Ed are sincere, after they go back, even if they know the result, the two of them will still be together, and with the memory of this time around, I believe that the two of them may successfully avoid a certain situation. some mistakes?"

"Maybe I'm even doing something good if you think about it that way?"

Claire didn't think there was anything wrong with that kind of white lie, but she never thought that it was not someone else who discovered her, but little Annie in front of her. This was what surprised her the most.

"..."

(ー`′ー)

"But people feel that Aunt Kelly may never be with another Uncle Ed again!"

(??_?)

After thinking for a while, Annie suddenly guessed in that sure tone.

"Then it's none of my business."

"It all depends on whether Kelly's feelings for Ed are sincere. In fact, it's good not to be together. Otherwise, look at it, our relationship on the Orville is a mess, isn't it?"

"Besides, I really can't guarantee that I can accurately understand a certain part of her memory. I just want to reassure them."

"Now I have verified something, that is: Annie, your original explanation of the two cups was correct. Knowing the future and traveling between the two timelines will not affect the other cup!"

"We are fine now, aren't we?"

As he said this, Claire actually winked at Anne playfully, not hiding the proud look on her face at all.

Anne discovered this matter, otherwise Ed, Kelly, John and others would have been kept in the dark by her.

"..."

(?~?)

Annie stopped talking, because she suddenly discovered...none of the people on this broken spaceship were worry-free, but each one was more cunning and more cunning than the last one?

Not to mention anything else, a few days ago, the Aunt Kelly who was today 'seven years later' complained to her many times, and then she talked about Uncle Ed and the Kai 'seven years ago'. Aunt Li was wrong and hinted at certain things to her many times. In the end, she was so annoyed that she reluctantly went to help Uncle John and the others.

Thinking about it now, it seems that she was also tricked by that annoying Aunt Kelly. The other party used her to successfully send away the young Aunt Kelly from 'seven years ago' and directly eliminated her competitors?

"besides!"

"Annie, children who are too smart are not very lovable!"

"Can't you be just a little bit stupid?"

"You are only eight years old!"

Seeing the expression on Anne's face, Claire suddenly became serious and said dissatisfiedly. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Anne for seeing through her trick?

"cannot!"

(??ˇεˇ??)

Without thinking, Anne directly rejected the other party's unreasonable request.

"People are just so smart, it's innate and can't be changed!"

(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~

After saying that, Annie turned her head away proudly.

"Still born?"

Regarding that answer, Claire said that she was a little bit dumbfounded, but she couldn't deny it.

"Of course!"

(*?′?`?)

"Anyway, they are smarter than those two of yours!"

?(ψ｀▽′)o

After making a face at the other party, Anne, who had already received her answer, jumped down from the table where she was sitting without any delay and jumped towards the door.

After all, her curiosity had just been satisfied, and now there was nothing interesting in the laboratory without patients.

"Hello!"

"Annie!"

"Remember to keep it a secret for me?"

Seeing this, Claire hurriedly chased him out and warned him.

"Got it!"

???(O ^~^ O)??

Anne, who ran out, just waved her hands impatiently and responded casually, but did not promise whether she would actually keep the other person's secret.
