Chapter 968 Eudora Was Moved
Mia didn't speak. It was very uncomfortable for Jervis to see her raise her hand from time to time to wipe away her tears.
There were hundreds of thousands of poor people in the world, but could he pity every one of them?
Jervis frowned and turned away at last.novelbin
Back at Eudora's house, all the village onlookers had gone.
Colbert was still chopping firewood. Eudora brought him a cup of hot coffee to drink.
Seeing Jervis coming over, she asked, "Where did you go? | thought you got lost, so I'm going to find you."
"I'm fine. | just walked around."
As he said that, Jervis suddenly thought of the girl just now and pretended to talk about her casually, "| happened to meet a mutegirl over there."
"Oh, it should be Mia. She is very pitiful. Her mother, who was married to Mia's father, was often subjected to domestic violence.Her mother gradually became mentally ill. The Wilson family wanted to abandon her mother, but her mother was pregnant withMia. The Wilson family reluctantly cared for Mia and her mother as the police interfered.
“Mia has been unable to speak since she was born. The Wilson family found her mute when Mia was three years old. They wereangry, and they wanted to abandon her but couldn't. They had no choice but to bring her up. Later, Mia's mother passed away,and her father remarried. Her stepmother often curses her."
Eudora shook her head and sighed, "Mia has suffered a lot."
Despite Mia's hard life, as an outsider with no kinship to her, Eudora had no right to interfere in the affairs of their family.
Colbert, who was sweating profusely, was slowly sipping the hot coffee in his hand. His cold eyes rested on Jervis, and he smiledfaintly.
Jervis happened to see Colbert's half-smile. Jervis frowned and went straight away.
"Take a break. The firewood you have chopped is enough for a month.”
Eudora felt guilty.
Colbert came to play, but she asked him to chop firewood.
It was unreasonable.

Eudora wanted to say something, but Colbert turned around, took a piece of wood, and put it on the ground. When he was aboutto swing the ax, he turned to Eudora and said, "Stay away. It's dangerous."
Eudora took a few steps back, quietly watching the noble and unworldly man chopping firewood as an ordinary man.
Yet, anyway, she could feel in him an aura of nobility not common to ordinary people.
Inexplicably, Eudora was a little moved.
