Chapter 107 - 107 Trust
Caroline stretched out her hand and patted her back. “Why would I not want you?”
“But they all said you’re dead.” Not only did those people talk about Ling’s death behind her back, but they also said all sorts of bad things about her. Eva hated them very much, which was why she had sneaked out of the camp.
“Did they give you any trouble?” Caroline asked in concern.
!!
The information that Edwin had given her was only about what had happened after Eva had been rescued. As for what had happened to Eva in the military camp, she couldn’t find anything.
“Yes, they didn’t give me food and even locked me up in a small black room.” The reason was that she had beaten up all the people who had spoken ill of Ling.
Eva chose to ignore this matter. After all, Caroline had taught her not to fight.
Caroline did not doubt Eva’s words. After all, after her accident, those who were related to her in the past would not have a good life. She had already expected this.
“It’s all in the past now. No one will treat you like this in the future.” Caroline took out a set of clothes from the cabinet and let her wash up and change. Then, she tucked her under the blanket.
“Go to sleep.” She patted Eva’s head.
Eva grabbed the quilt with both hands. “Will I still see you when I wake up tomorrow?”
Caroline nodded. “Yes.”
And so, Eva fell asleep in a second, relieved. It was clear that she was really tired.
Seeing that she was fast asleep, Caroline walked out of the room quietly and closed the door. When she came out, she saw Danika.
Caroline paused for a moment. “Uh, maybe we need to have a chat? It’s about Eva.”
She thought that even if she couldn’t tell Danika everything, she should at least tell her about Eva.
Danika shook her head. “Miss, I’m just a servant. You just need to tell me what I should do. You don’t have to tell me everything.”
Caroline’s heart warmed. She knew that Danika probably saw through her difficulties, so she was being so considerate. “You know that in my heart, you’re never a servant. You’re an elder who loves me.”
The corners of Danika’s eyes were slightly red. “That’s why I don’t want to be an annoying old woman who meddles in people’s affairs.”
Although Caroline was not close to her since she was young, Danika had watched Caroline grow up. So, how could she not notice the abnormality in Caroline’s behavior during this period of time?
But just as Danika had said, she was a servant of the Lambert family. As long as Caroline had the Lambert’s blood, she would be loyal to her forever. That was enough. Not to mention, during this period of time, the trust and feelings Caroline had given her had already proven that her choice was not wrong. Therefore, Danika would not question any of Caroline’s decisions.
“I’m just here to ask if she’ll be particularly tired of eating only muffins for breakfast tomorrow. This is because there is only a relatively large amount of pancake powder left in the kitchen.”
“If there’s enough maple syrup, I think Eva will never get tired of it.” After all, Eva loved sweet food in addition to meat.
“That’s good. We don’t lack maple syrup.” Danika let out a sigh of relief.
The next morning, when Caroline woke up, the house was already filled with the sweet scent of muffins. After washing up, she went downstairs and saw Eva following Danika like a little tail, beating eggs for her and passing her a plate. Eva was very busy.
“Ling, you’re up!” Eva heard her sounds, turned around, and called out happily.
Caroline saw that there was a pile of muffins on the table, so she told Danika not to make any. “Eat first. If you’re not full, we can go outside and buy Eva something else to fill her stomach.”
Danika stuck her head out of the kitchen. “Are you going out today?”
“I’m going to school, and I’ll take Eva to buy some daily necessities.” She had just received a message from Principal Brown, saying that her application for a major transfer had been approved and she needed to go to the school to sign it. After that, as long as she passed the major examination, she could successfully change her major.
Eva drizzled a thick layer of maple syrup over the muffin. She was very happy to hear her words. “Can I go out with Ling?”
