Chapter 414: Repayment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Helena was also waiting for a suitable match at that time. She knew too well what it was like to wait for this glimmer of hope in despair. How many terminal patients died while waiting for a match? She felt that she would be the same. Helena felt that she might be dying. She had no other thoughts except that it was good to have one more person to live. It would be a pity to find a suitable match and choose to give it up because she had no money.
So Helena begged George for help.
Helena looked at Emily in front of her. She seemed to have recovered now, but she was a little different from what she remembered. Perhaps she had bee a ghost and could see people and things more clearly?
George lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly, “There’s no need. Just live your own life.” He had almost forgotten about this. The reason why he had given Emily money back then was because he wanted to accumulate good deeds and hoped that Helena would be lucky enough to find a suitable match.
Emily, on the other hand, refused to give up. She tugged at the corner of her shirt uneasily and stammered, “Brother George… You, don’t be like this… I’m really grateful to you guys. I can do anything… I’m really, really grateful to the heavens for letting me get to know Helena as a friend. Now that I’ve recovered, Helena…” Her eyes turned red as she spoke and she begged, “So I just want to do what I can and not repay your kindness… l, 1 really feel uneasy…”
Mrs. Walton stood up and said lightly, “How do you want to repay me? By being half a daughter? To replace Helena?” It was not enough that the Waltons had given her money to treat her illness. Did she still want to be the Waltons’ daughter?
Emily was instantly terrified and knelt down with a plop. “No, no, Old Madam, you’ve misunderstood. I’ve never had such thoughts. I really want to be filial to you and take care of you on Helena’s behalf. I just want you to agree to let me enter the Walton family as a servant… I’ll do anything to repay you. Please…
Emily’s attitude was extremely humble as she begged.
Amelia suddenly interrupted, “Auntie, do you want to take care of my grandmother or my eldest uncle? Why do you always peek at my eldest uncle?”
Emily’s lowered eyes looked over at George’s side from time to time. The adults were too tall to see, but Amelia was a child. She saw it when she looked up. This Aunt Emily’s eyes were not honest at all.
Mrs. Walton was speechless. Not only did this person want to be the Walton family’s daughter, but she also coveted her son?
Emily stiffened and quickly denied it. “No, no, I didn’t… I was just afraid that
Brother George would be unhappy…”
Amelia reminded her kindly, “But in our family, Grandma is the boss.”
Everyone:
Emily: “…” She bit her lip uneasily. “Ah, I’m sorry. 1 was wrong… I came from a small place and don’t understand these rules. I’ve embarrassed myself…” She knelt and kept kowtowing. “Old Madam, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
Mrs. Walton dodged to the side speechlessly. What era was this? She still knelt and kowtowed at the slightest provocation, as if they were bullying her. She regretted it to death. At that time, everyone’s attention was on Helena. Every time this Emily came to look for Helena, she took advantage of their absence. Mrs. Walton didn’t know that she was such a person. If she did, she wouldn’t have agreed to let her visit just now!
“Emily, get up first and sit down while we talk,” Mrs. Walton said. She looked at Mr. Smith and gestured for him to quickly see them out.
Emily shook her head. “No, no, I’m not sitting. The clothes I’m wearing are dirty and old. Don’t dirty the sofa…” With that, she looked around enviously and carefully. She whispered, “So Helena’s house is like this. It’s like on television. I’ve never seen it before. It’s not like my house. It’s small and dirty…”
Mrs. Walton: ‘
Amelia suddenly said. “Auntie. is your house very unsanitary? Why don’t you wash your dirty clothes? Why do you have to wear them out? Why don’t you clean your dirty house?”
Emily was speechless.
Amelia: “Have you not washed your clothes for ten days? Why would you dirty the sofa when you sit down?”
Emily was speechless.
Amelia was enlightened. “1 understand. Your family doesn’t have the habit of washing clothes and showering? Let me tell you, this is not a good habit. There will be bugs on your bodies.. You should change your bad habits!”
