Translator: Tseirp

The subsequent morning, I visited Rely Anderson’s home on the best way to Baron Hanson’s home with Nonna. To apologize.

“Nonna sneaked out of the Baron’s home late final night time and got here again. I’m certain they’re nervous about her, so I’m going to apologize to Baron Hanson. I got here right here to contact you first.”

Once I bowed my head, Nonna additionally imitated me and bowed. However Mrs. Eva shook her head sideways.

“No, the 2 of you shouldn’t present up. I’ll contact them. That point I used to be unable to correctly refuse, and I triggered bother for each you and Nonna.”

Whereas speaking, she wrote one thing on a bit of paper and handed it to her attendant. The attendant rapidly left the room. She is going to most likely contact Baron Hanson. After seeing her off, Mrs. Eva instructed me about her previous.

“It was 4 years in the past. A chilly with a excessive fever broke out within the royal capital. Clark additionally caught a chilly and had a excessive fever for 5 days. Fortunately, his fever retreated after 5 days and he received over the chilly safely. However many kids and the aged died from that top fever.”

A foul chilly circulates as soon as each few years.

It’s a battle of stamina, so, naturally, these with weaker physiques lose their lives.

“Nonetheless, my husband is the Minister of International Affairs. There have been rumors that he used good drugs from one other nation. Beforehand I purchased drugs for burns that labored nicely from one other nation and gave it to different folks as a result of I assumed it might be good for them. That’s why they misunderstood. Regardless of how a lot I denied it, the rumors persevered. At the moment, Baron Hanson got here to my home. He appeared to have taken the rumors significantly and tearfully requested me to offer him the medication. His daughter was going to die at that price, so he supplied to offer as a lot cash as he had. I repeatedly instructed him I didn’t use any drugs however …”

Ah, I see.

Baron and Baroness Hanson had been nonetheless resentful of that point, or was Mrs. Eva nonetheless feeling responsible about it? That’s why she couldn’t strongly refuse the supply to undertake Nonna, who resembles their youngster named Dolores.

“Mrs. Eva, that’s one thing the Anderson household holds no duty for.”

“Logically. However sentiments typically don’t comply with logic. That’s what received us into bother. They most likely knew of their minds that we didn’t have any drugs. However that actually has nothing to do with the 2 of you. I’m sorry for getting the 2 of you concerned in our and the Hanson household issues.”

I went to Mr. Bernard’s mansion with Nonna. Mr. Bernard had resumed his analysis and was doing even higher than earlier than.

“Eva took excellent care of me, however I nonetheless choose my very own home.”

“Mr. Bernard appears to be doing nicely, so I’m completely happy too.”

Nonna handed over a small yellow flower that was blooming by the roadside.

“Right here! Mr. Bernard!”

“Oh. That is the primary time I’ve obtained flowers from such a stupendous girl.”

Even I used to be so lonely after I thought I’d lose Nonna, who had solely lived with me for a number of months. How a lot the Baron and Baroness should have grieved for the lack of their daughter on the age of three. Even I might perceive that ache.

Once I received residence, whereas stewing the meat, I wiped every thing and polished the home windows. Simply imagining Nonna leaving this world introduced tears to my eyes. I obtained a message from Mrs. Eva saying, “You possibly can relaxation assured that every thing has been cleared up.”

The subsequent day, a whole lot of parcels had been delivered from the Hanson Baron household together with letters that gave the impression to be within the Baron’s handwriting.

‘We determined to return to the territory and focus on the administration of the territory. Thanks for letting us reside a short while with Dolores again in our fingers. William Hanson.’

The numerous packing containers contained expensive-looking attire, sneakers, equipment, underwear, nightwear, slippers, and delicate luggage. Nonna didn’t present a lot curiosity, however I checked out them and my chest tightened.

They went too far after they locked her up, however I ponder how they felt after they discovered that Nonna had run away and had no intention of coming again, and after they parted with this stuff. Had they realized that there was no substitute for his or her youngster?

I instantly puzzled if my mother and father felt lonely after they let me go on the age of eight. I can’t ask anymore, however I needed to ask. If they’d lived, would they’ve mentioned, ‘In fact we had been lonely’? I hoped that was the case, and thought that there was nothing extra I might do about it now.

I reported to Mrs. Yorana and Commander that Nonna had returned and that the Baron was apparently leaving the royal capital, and this matter ended.

Evening. It was darkish throughout.

Nonna and I completed our baths and had a leisurely dinner.

Then there was a knock on the door and Susan and the Commander got here.

“Oh, it’s uncommon to see Susan and Commander collectively.”

“I’ll be leaving quickly. Really, I requested Mrs. Yorana to put in writing a letter to Baron Hanson, regardless that I knew it might be pointless meddling.”

“Mrs. Yorana? What letter was it?”

Susan cleared her throat and defined whereas trying away from me.

“Mrs. Yorana wrote ‘Don’t fear, Rely Haynes will maintain Nonna if one thing occurs to Victoria.’”

“Oh expensive!”

Susan blushed after I stared at her in shock.

“Thanks, Susan. I’m very completely happy.”

“No want, I couldn’t sit nonetheless and do nothing. However Mrs. Yorana mentioned, ‘I used to be going to do it even in case you didn’t ask me to.’”

After saying that, Susan left in a rush. Once I thought that there have been folks aside from me who cared for Nonna, the again of my nostril turned stuffy. I invited Commander in and served tea.

“Ah, Victoria. Really, I’ve a report as nicely.”

“What’s it?”

“I don’t assume Eva mentioned something to you, however Rely Anderson got here to seek the advice of with my brother with effective liquor. ‘Till each side consent and formally conclude the procedures, don’t overlook that Victoria is Nonna’s guardian.’ He urged my brother to warn the Baron Hanson household with a letter. Additionally, as an apart, he added that I’m your guarantor.”

“That’s… I’m grateful. Even Rely Asher was nervous about me.”

“At first, I used to be going to inform him that, however since I needed to say the title of my home, my brother rejected it. He mentioned ‘It could be higher for me, who’ve a relationship with them, to say it, somewhat than you.’”

Commander laughed.

Baron Hanson should have been very stunned at the truth that two Rely households intervened.

“Baron Hanson’s spouse went via a interval of instability after her daughter died. It appears that evidently she as soon as pressured a blond commoner woman into the mansion saying, ‘I discovered our misplaced daughter.’”

“Oh expensive…”

“It appears that evidently the kid’s household and the servants of the Baron family had been sworn to strict secrecy as a result of it was a matter of honor for the Hanson household. However my brother discovered from rumors. And I heard from my brother. I don’t assume even Eva is aware of.”

I assumed that the Baroness was an individual with a whole lot of emotional ups and downs. Actually. Did that occur?

“Rely Anderson was nervous that ‘If Nonna seems to be a lot like her misplaced youngster, maybe the Baroness received’t let her go even when Nonna doesn’t prefer it there.’ He was involved that Eva didn’t refuse on the spot.”

Lots of people had been making strikes in locations I didn’t know. Was that why the Baron and his spouse returned to their territory?

“Commander, might you please inform Rely Asher that I’m really grateful to him? I’ll go to quickly to thank him.”

“You don’t must. My brother could be very grateful to you for Uncle Bernard. When you actually should thank him, I’m certain he’ll be completely happy in case you make him one thing to drink with. I’ll ship it.”

The Commander laughed and left.

“Nonna, did one thing scary occur to you throughout your keep?”

“No. However I didn’t prefer it when it was simply the spouse alone.”

“Why?”

“She referred to as me Dolores the entire time. Additionally, she mentioned many occasions that the household was full. She cried and hugged me tightly.”

I see. How unhappy.

“However I don’t hate her for it anymore.”

“You’re sturdy. And type.”

“Vicky.”

“Hmm?”

“Can’t we reside with Jeff?”

I ponder if she got here up with such a factor as a result of she was about to be a member of the family of one other home. Unable to reply something, I stroked Nonna’s head.

(I want I might. It’s unimaginable.)
