Chapter 118
Morwenna frowned. "Is this all Keira gets to eat?"
The day-shift caregiver shrugged indifferently. "What’s it to you? She can't finish it all anyway. Imight as well eat it so it doesn't go to waste. Quit your yapping and get lost."
Morwenna understood the breakfast was for Keira.
But Keira 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 bathroom?
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."
Hearing Morwenna was about to be dismissed, Keira became anxious, attempting to speak softly,"I..."novelbin
But the day-shift caregiver cut her off arrogantly. "Your mother paid me to look after you. Are yougoing 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 Keira earnestly. "You should consider getting a new caregiver. I might figuresomething out if nobody else can look after you. I have a lot of work during the day and many thingsto 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.
Keira'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 gowith you?"
Morwenna ignored the caregiver, speaking to Keira, "I'm Morwenna, soon to be a freshman atRosefrost University. Here’s my ID. Don’t worry about being abducted. Do you want to come withme?"
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 Keira's shoulders, asking again, "I might be inexperienced incaregiving, but I won't mistreat you. You can eat your fill and drink whenever you're thirsty. Will youcome 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 lifeand taking Keira to her job.
But since Keira 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 return.
She feared she would never see this radiant girl again.
Keira finally shouted with a desperate, trembling voice, "Wenna, I want to go with you!"
