I'll stop by after my next business trip. Eva: Awww, I don't want to give you back to your wife! Chapter 25 : An Abandoned Woman - Page 6 - Man: Uh... yeah, well, I'll call you again. Eva: You might not be able to come back. Because of that handkerchief doused in my perfume I put into your bag... An insignificant man... Were you watching me again?! Are you wondering why I always bring different men into my home? Gardener: N... no. Eva: You wish you were as lucky as them. Gardener: Of... course not. - Page 7 - Eva: How disgusting! Gardener: N... no, I just... Eva: Ooh, it's so beautiful out here. I love this garden... I can just stare at it and try to forget all the awful things in my life. Gardener: I'm very glad you like it! I'm growing mimosas over here. And also... I'm creating an arch of roses. Come summertime, it will be so beautiful... Eva: You know, you might just suffice after all. Gardener: Uh... - Page 8 - Eva: Are you confident that you can make me happy? Chapter 25 : An Abandoned Woman - Page 9 - Coletta: Are you listening, Daddy? Daddy, are you listening? Gardener: Huh? Oh... H... how is Daddy's cooking tonight? I'm getting pretty good at it, aren't I? Coletta: You're not listening to anything I say... That's why Mommy left with another man... Oh... sorry. Gardener: N... no, it's... it's okay... - Page 10 - Gardener: Listen, Coletta... Coletta: Huh? Gardener: If Daddy... well... Fell in love with... Coletta: Huh?! Gardener: Oh... uh, nothing... don't worry! The food isn't that good tonight, is it? Coletta: It's not bad. Gardener: Really? Not bad? Coletta: When you compare it to right after Mommy left! Eva: I'm sorry. You're the gardener, I shouldn't be forcing you to do this... Gardener: Oh, don't worry... this is nothing. - Page 11 - Eva: All my servants asked for time off and left, one after another. I need your help until I get some new ones. Gardener: You can ask me for anything you like. Yes...? Eva: How about dinner tonight? Gardener: URK- Umm... uh, well... aha... - Page 12 - Eva: Why are you so tense? Gardener: I... I'm not used to this elegant stuff... Eva: If you want to be the man for me, you have to take me anywhere, without hesitation! Just like you do in the garden! Gardener: Y... yes. You're right... I feel most sure of myself when I'm in the garden. I feel so happy when I complete the garden I envisioned... I like being in the garden more than anything else! Eva: *glug* Gardener: No person who likes gardens can be evil. And you said you loved it... - Page 13 - Eva: Are you saying I'm a good person...? Gardener: Yes, of course! Eva: Hahahaha... Gardener: However... Eva: What?! Gardener: Well, you... You seem... lonely... Eva: So do you! Gardener: Huh? Eva: Another bottle of wine here! Gardener: Er... I think you've had too much to drink... Eva: You're lonely too, aren't you? - Page 14 - Eva: Nn... Gardener: I... I'm sorry, my daughter's probably worried right now... Eva: Nn... nnn... - Page 15 - Eva: Tenma... Gardener: It's gonna be Christmas soon, Coletta. Coletta: Santa better not spend too much money this year! Gardener: Hey, come on, that's nothing for you to worry about... Coletta: It's going to be a lonely Christmas party with just us two. Gardener: Actually, it might not be just the two of us. Coletta: Huh? - Page 16 - Eva: That man ruined my life. Gardener: I... I'm sorry, I was just cleaning... Eva: His name was Tenma. My former fiancee. Gardener: Drinking already at this time of day...? - Page 17 - Eva: How can I NOT drink?! I just went to the BKA in Wiesbarden. To see a detective named Lunge!! Gardener: BKA...? Detective...? Eva: That bungling fool has been stringing me along!! When are his damn officers going to capture Tenma?! Gardener: Capture...? Eva: He killed my father and ran away!! And then he claims he was framed, hah! I was the daughter of the head of a major hospital, my future was promised to him...!! It's all HIS fault my last three marriages have failed!! Johan's work, indeed!! Look at this!! - Page 18 - Eva: That's Johan in the picture with Father!! Do you think that little boy could murder my father?! Gardener: Is that what Tenma said himself? Eva: It's a pathetic excuse!! Gardener: Have you showed that photo to the police? Eva: Of course not! Don't you start on me, too!! Gardener: But it could turn out to be crucial evidence!! Eva: Tenma was the one who did it!! Just like Lunge says, he's got dual personalities!! Gardener: If so... then why do you have his picture framed and on display? - Page 19 - Gardener: Deep down, you DON'T think Tenma is a murderer!! Eva: Wha...!! Gardener: And you still... Eva: I think you've been watching too many melodramas. I still love Tenma...?! Hah! Out of all the men I've ever known, he was the most suitable for me. He was such a great brain surgeon, people called him a genius... He had enough title for me... But most importantly, he never opposed me. He listened to every selfish thing I had to say!! "Ja", "ja", "ja"!! All he ever said was yes. - Page 20 - Eva: He should have made me the happiest woman on Earth!! Gardener: And I can't be a substitute for him? I would create a garden for you my entire life... If it would ease your heart... Eva: Heh... - Page 21 - Eva: Heheheh... AAHAHAHAHA!! Don't get too full of yourself just because you slept with me once!! I was just using you to pass the time!! I was jerking your chain! Hahaha... What are you trying to do? Who do you think you are?! AAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!! Gardener: You... You really are a lonely woman... Eva: Same to you! AAHAHAHA!! - Page 22 - Gardener: I'm having a party with my daughter on Christmas Eve. You may come if you like. Eva: Hehehehehe... Coletta: Wow, look at all this food!! Did you make all of it, Daddy? Gardener: I don't know if it'll taste good though. Coletta: This looks like too much for just two people! - Page 23 - Gardener: R... really? Coletta: AHA!! Gardener: Hmm? Coletta: MOMMY'S COMING BACK!! Gardener: Coletta... Coletta: She is!! She is, isn't she?! Door: *knock knock* Coletta: Mommy's back!! - Page 24 - Gardener: Ch... Charlotte... Charlotte: I'm sorry, dear... I'm so sorry... - Page 25 - - Page 26 - Eva: Look at your mimosas, your roses! Look at your beautiful garden! Look at the hospital director's mansion!! - Page 27 - Eva: I'LL BURN THEM ALL!! EVERY LAST ONE!! - Page 28 - [BKA, Wiesbarden] Lunge: Welcome! Eva: You're finally going to listen to me, Inspector Lunge!! Lunge: My schedule is free now. Eva: This is the only man for me!! Until I steal the breath from his body... I will never be happy!! - Chapter 25 Owari -
