Chapter 314
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. You’ll faint again. Just wait a moment, I’ll get you something to eat.”
Adele saw that she had made the other person cry and quickly jumped up, rushing to the door and flinging it open as she dashed downstairs.
Tara managed to stop her tears a bit, glancing over at Shaer, who nodded slightly in her direction.
Even Zhang Yimou would be shocked.
Footsteps hurriedly approached the door.
In the blink of an eye, Tara pushed herself off the sofa and leaped over it, scrambling to Shaer’s side, where she threw her arms around him.
“Wuwuwu, Lord Shaer, did you save me? I don’t know how to repay you. Just let me be your servant for life, wuwuwu…”
Tara sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
This scene was just in time for Adele, who was holding food, to witness. Without thinking too much, she squatted down beside Shaer and handed the steaming baked potato to Tara, saying, “It’s a bit hot, take your time eating.”
Seeing Adele’s practiced demeanor, Shaer curiously asked, “Do you often take care of others, Adele?”
“Huh? Me?”
Adele looked up at Shaer and shook her head. “Not really, but I have quite a bit of experience being taken care of. I guess you could say… I’ve learned from being sick for a long time?”
Shaer: “…”
That made sense. He recalled how Yulisi had told him that when she and Adele were at the orphanage, Adele was the one who loved to cause trouble. It seemed that she only started to change and work hard after Yulisi was chosen by the Goddess of Salvation.
So, her experience in being cared for was indeed quite rich.
“Is there an empty ward? Let her stay with you for a few days to recover.”
Shaer looked down at Tara and said kindly, “You can stay with Sister Adele for a few days… now let go.”
“Okay… okay.”
Tara quickly released her grip and stood obediently behind Adele, feeling a bit anxious.
She wondered if this clever method would make her a servant of the Mother Goddess… had she been seen through?
It seemed that becoming a divine servant wasn’t going to be that easy after all…
“There are plenty of places for people to stay here. Let’s observe for a couple of days.”
Adele stood up, glancing back at the little one who barely reached her chest. She placed her hand on Tara’s head and ruffled her hair, then handed her the baked potato with a smile.
“You can’t just tell Shaer that. I’ll take you to find Sister Aivina another day; she’s got more money.”
How audacious! Little brat! Do you know who I am? The Archbishop of the Holy Salvation Church! Who gave you permission to put your hand on my head?
Tara nearly exploded, but the moment she saw the food, her emotions calmed down. She lowered her head and accepted the potato, devouring it hungrily.
Very well, you’ve offset one sin, but there won’t be a next time… munch munch munch…
The receptionist nurse had already returned with food. Adele casually handed the little girl over to the nurse, instructing her to take Tara to rest.
After watching Tara being taken away, Adele turned to Shaer and asked, “By the way, Shaer, did you come to see me for something?”
As soon as the “little girl” left, it seemed Adele had forgotten why Shaer had come, her memory slightly worse than a fish’s.
“I did come to find you for something,”
Shaer sat down beside the sofa and said, “Do you remember what I mentioned earlier?”
“I remember,”
Adele sat across from Shaer, nodding. “You want that little girl to stay here for a few days.”
“Not quite.”
Shaer shook his head.
“... I have rich experience in being taken care of?”
Adele’s tone began to waver with uncertainty.
Shaer: “…”
In less than thirty minutes since arriving at Adele’s place, Shaer felt he had already encountered more moments of speechlessness than in the past week combined.
He really didn’t know whether to say her memory was good or bad.
“The situation at the Aivina mine.”
Shaer reminded her.
“Oh, oh, oh,”
Adele nodded repeatedly. “I remember.”
Shaer no longer beat around the bush. After clearly outlining the dangers left in Boren City, he looked at Adele and asked:
“So, I suggest you come with us to Ansu City. It’ll be safer there… what do you think?”
“Ansu City…”
Adele looked up at the ceiling, pondering for a moment before turning back to Shaer, her expression conflicted.
It seemed she was hesitating about whether to go or not.
“Is there something you’re worried about? You can tell me,”
Shaer asked directly.
If there’s a problem, let’s solve it. That’s always been Shaer’s way.
“My sister might have to stay in Boren City for a long time… I’m a bit worried about her safety.”
Adele said softly.
Yulisi, huh?
Shaer remembered that Yulisi had initially chased down a church messenger who had fled with a potion, which led her all the way to Boren City.
He had obtained that “Avenger” potion, and she had received her first “Avenger” archive. The subsequent bottle of potion had been returned, yielding quite a bit of profit.
It seemed dehydration had kept her here, and not long after that, the incident at Dedun Manor involving cult sacrifices had emerged… she really did seem to be stuck.
However, from his several encounters with Yulisi, Shaer knew she wasn’t someone who lacked understanding. So he looked at Adele and said:
“If you’re really unsure, why not discuss it with your sister? There’s no rush.”
Shaer wasn’t too insistent. If it came down to it, she could always have a talk with Yulisi…
Forget it, she was probably afraid of being taken away as a saint.
Yulisi had proven to be quite resilient, almost always surviving until the end. Even if Adele decided to stay with Yulisi, there wouldn’t be any danger.
By the time Yulisi finished her business here and set off back to the Ansu Cathedral, Adele would follow, just a bit later.
“Okay, thank you, Shaer.”
Adele nodded, letting out a small sigh of relief.
On one side was a good friend, and on the other was her family. Adele truly found it hard to part with either, but fortunately, Shaer hadn’t presented her with a dilemma.
“I have some things to take care of. I’ll go chat with that little girl and then leave,”
Shaer stood up and said to Adele, “If you need anything, just come find me at Manor 15.”
After bidding farewell to Adele, Shaer asked the nurse where Tara was and was led to a treatment room.
As soon as he opened the door, Shaer saw Tara surrounded by two nurses, who were smiling and playfully ruffling her hair and face, praising her for being cute and obedient, while Tara looked utterly frustrated, shoveling food into her mouth.
Upon seeing Shaer enter, Tara immediately put down her fork and knife, standing up to say, “Lord Shaer…”
The two nurses quickly left the room, and Shaer shut the door behind him, walking over to Tara’s side.
Tara had some sauce smeared on the corner of her mouth, and she lowered her head, discreetly licking it off with her tongue.
Looking at Tara, Shaer said softly, “Stay here and adapt to the situation. When the time is right, I’ll have you as my personal maid to go to Ansu City with me. Do you understand?”
Personal…
Personal maid!!!
Tara’s mind nearly exploded. She quickly buried her head deeper, humbly saying, “Your humble servant will definitely complete this task…”
As she spoke, Tara’s lips trembled slightly, and in her excitement, her eyes began to glisten with tears.
What kind of incredible luck had she stumbled upon? She had merely followed the call of the divine servant to Boren City, and before long, she had found the divine servant and the earthly embodiment of the Mother Goddess.
After waiting for a while, just when she thought she would die in that rented room, the Mother Goddess descended beside her, bringing her life and hope…
All those years of research and prayer, all the waiting and trials she had endured, had all been worth it!
Her loyalty! Had earned the Mother Goddess’s recognition!
Even after Shaer left, Tara remained rooted in place, feeling as if she were floating on clouds, unable to believe this was reality.
Perhaps it was because she was already low on blood sugar and hadn’t recovered, combined with the overwhelming emotional impact, a wave of dizziness hit her, and she fell back onto the hospital bed, fainting.
…
Just after leaving the clinic, Shaer was about to take a carriage to Amy’s house but suddenly remembered that she hadn’t brought any money with her today.
So, she gave up on the carriage and walked directly to Amy’s house.
By the time she stopped at Amy’s door, the midday sun was already high in the sky.
