15 Winter Wonderland

Chapter 15 Winter Wonderland When the cousins returned, Do.a Chabela was waiting for them. They walked back to the ranch house slowly. Dante thought about all the kids trapped in the Red Tower. His eyes burned and his chest hurt. Chabela hugged him and his cousins tight as they reached the porch. Through the windows, they could see the adults carrying slices of birthday cake into the living room, where their grandfather was sitting in his favorite rocking chair. "Tonight, you should enjoy your family," Chabela said. "Play some party games. Sing whatever old songs Don Arturo loves. Then get a good night's sleep." Dante's throat felt tight. "And then?"

第十五章 冬日仙境 表兄妹们回来的时候，多阿·查贝拉正等着他们。 他们慢悠悠地走回牧场的房子。 但丁满脑子都是那些困在红塔里的孩子。 他眼睛发烫，胸口也闷闷地疼。 他们走到门廊时，查贝拉紧紧抱住了他和其他表兄妹。 透过窗户，他们能看见大人们正把一块块生日蛋糕端进客厅，爷爷就坐在客厅里他最爱的摇椅上。 “今天晚上，你们就好好陪陪家人。”查贝拉说。 “玩点派对小游戏。 唱堂·阿图罗喜欢的那些老歌。 然后好好睡一觉。” 但丁觉得喉咙发紧。 “那之后呢？”

Malia curled her hands into fists. "Then we come up with a new plan, Dante." "We have no choice," Ivan agreed, his voice quavering. "Yes," Chabela said, nodding. "You have to rescue the rest of the children."

玛利亚攥紧了拳头。 “之后我们再想个新计划，但丁。” “我们没有别的选择了。”伊凡附和道，声音还在发颤。 “没错。”查贝拉点着头说。 “你们得去把剩下的孩子都救出来。”
