Zeke’s heart thumped faster as he drew closer to his hometown.
On the plane, Zeke treated his wound with a simple bandage.
According to the colonel’s instructions, he was supposed to rest and recover in the hospital.
However, instead of going to the hospital, Zeke had gone home first.
He could not wait for another minute nor another second.
According to the information collected by his subordinate, Lacey had already moved in with the Thisletons.
I wonder if Lacey is getting along well with the Thisletons.
Are the few ignorant ones still targeting Lacey?
Before long, Zeke arrived at the Thisleton Manor.
Compared to the past, the Thisleton Manor was very quiet now.
There was no sight of any of their descendants, even in broad daylight.
Zeke walked straight towards Lacey’s living quarters.
When he walked past the kitchen, a sudden sob caught his attention.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe looked towards the direction of that sob.
There was a little girl who was about two or three years ago, squatting by the kitchen door to wash some bowls.
She had an adorable and charming little face while her eyes, which were like a pair of twinkling grapes.
Just one glance melted his heart instantly.
Zeke felt a little perplexed.
At her age, this little girl should be completely pampered and spoiled by her parents.
Why is she doing chores?
Clang!
The little girl did not hold on tight to a bowl and broke one bowl accidentally.
She immediately reached out to pick up the pieces, and the broken pieces cut her fingers as well.
A bitter-looking female servant came out. “What’s going on here?”
At the sight of the broken bowl, the servant grew angry, “You useless fool! What’s the point of you living if you can’t
even do something small like this?”
The little girl’s tears fell uncontrollably.
“Aunt, Missy is hungry and couldn’t hold the bowl properly. Can Missy eat a bit before continuing to work?”
“You good-for-nothing!” The servant went into the kitchen huffily and brought out a plain roll. “Eat it now. After that,
go back to your chores immediately.”
Missy reached out for the roll immediately with a look of joy.
Unexpectedly, the servant tossed the roll into the pile of dirty dishes. “You clumsy fool; you can’t even hold onto a
roll. This is the last roll, so it’s up to you whether you want to eat it.”
Ah?
Missy looked despondently at the roll that was soaking in the dirty water.
However, she was really too hungry.
Finally, she picked up the roll cautiously and was about to eat it.
Zeke could not take it anymore and immediately went up to stop her.
There was detergent in the water, and one could die from eating a roll that was submerged in that water.
What more a small child like this?
That servant truly had a scorpion heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke stopped the little girl and said, “Little one, the roll has been submerged in the water and you shouldn’t eat it.
You could get ill from that.”
Missy replied pitifully, “Missy is hungry. Missy wants to eat.”
Zeke thought for a short while and fished out the military compressed biscuits from his bag. “Missy, you can have
this first. I’ll bring you for a big meal later, all right?”
She was a little hesitant. “Mother says that I should not eat food given by strangers.”
Zeke smiled, “I’m not a stranger. You called me Uncle, didn’t you?”
Mmhmm.
Missy picked up the biscuit and wolfed it down after being convinced by Zeke.
Even though it was just a tiny biscuit, she made it look like it was the tastiest and most valuable biscuit in the world.
“Who are you?” The mean servant said disapprovingly. “Who are you to interfere in Thisleton Manor’s business?”
Slap!
Without skipping a beat, Zeke immediately gave that woman a slap. “Who do you think you are? How dare you say
‘our Thisleton Manor’?”
F***!
The servant exploded on the spot. “You hit me? I am a servant here at the Thisleton Manor. How dare you hit me?”
