Chapter 118
Morwenna frowned. Is this all Keira gets to ent?”
The day shift caregiver shrugged indifferently. “What’s it to you? She can’t finish it all anyway. I might as well eat it so it don’t go to waste. Quit your yapping and get lost”
Morwenna understood the breakfast was for Kelm
But Kela was only left with scraps, not even an extra glass of milk or water.
Was it because they feared the inconvenience if Keira needed the bathoorn?
Morwenna’s anger was nearly boiling over.
The day shift caregiver continued grumbling. “Enough. I’m tired of this chat. You can leave now. You’ve only been here two days. Forget about your pay
Heating Morwenna was about to be dismissed, Keira became anxious, attempting to speak softly, “…”
But the day–shift caregiver cut her off arrogantly. “Your mother paid me to look after you. Are you going to go against her wishes?”
Keira’s face turned pale, and she dared not speak another word.
Morwenna took a deep breath as if making a significant decision.
She looked at Kelma earnestly. “You should consider getting a new caregiver. I might figure something out if nobody else can look after you. I have a lot of work during the day and many things to take care of, but I could take you with me if you don’t mind.”
Morwenna was indeed very busy
She had many responsibilities.
But seeing such a gentle soul getting mistreated, she couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Kelma’s eyes widened in disbelief at the proposal from someone she had met two days ago.
The caregiver scoffed at Morwenna, “And where would you take her? Do you think she’d dare to go with you?”
Morwenna ignored the caregiver, speaking to Keira, Tim Morwenna, soon to be a freshman at Rosefrost University. Here’s my ID. Don’t worry about being abducted. Do you want to come with me?”
Keira seemed eager to respond.
The caregiver slammed down the breakfast tray, glaring warningly at Keira.
Keira quickly bowed her head, silenced.
Disappointed, Morwenna took Kelma’s shoulders, asking again, “I might be inexperienced in caregiving, but I won’t mistreat you. You can eat your fill and drink whenever you’re thirsty. Will you come with me?”
Keira clutched the blanket tightly, seemingly struggling.
But she remained silent, head bowed.
Morwenna asked no further. She rose, ready to leave.
You can’t do anything for someone who won’t help themselves.
She could support Keira temporarily but not indefinitely.
Morwenna would be there to assist if Keira chose to resist, even if it meant complicating her own life and taking Keira to her job.
But since Keir chose silence, Morwenna had no more to say.
The caregiver mocked, “Ha, thought you could take her just like that? You want that day job money, too, huh? Dream on. She wouldn’t dare. Now, scram!”
Morwenna didn’t respond and continued walking away
She didn’t mind the caregiver’s rudeness.
What troubled her was Keira’s choice to remain silent
As Morwenna walked away, Keira’s eyes reddened with urgency.
She didn’t have Morwenna’s contact information.
They were in a simple employer–employee relationship, acquainted for merely two days.
She feared Morwenna would not retum.
She feared she would never see this radiant girl again.
