Chapter 1411: 1411. Thinking about it, my heart aches.
She thought of the responsibilities her father had entrusted her with, her gaze darkened, a fleeting shadow crossed the depths of her eyes.
At this time, the restaurant was bustling with people, and nearly all the seats were filled.
Occasionally there were a few empty seats, but because they were unfamiliar, she did not wish to join others at their tables.
In her view, no matter what, she was Adam's younger cousin sister, the Old Lady's direct niece, a bit more noble than these people, and she disdained to sit with them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the end, she set her eyes on the booth where Elly and her husband were.
"You're thinking of going to the mountain region yourself?" Adam was somewhat surprised and disapproving when he heard Elly's words.
Seeing Elly nod her head, he objected: "No! The mountain roads are treacherous, the environment and weather there are harsh, what would I do if something happened to you?" "It won't happen, the people living in the mountains manage to survive somehow, how can one be so fragile once here." Having seen those skeletal children from the mountains burdened with life's responsibilities from such a young age, unable to even think about schooling, let alone survival itself.
Living in these bright and shiny cities, merely looking at a few photographs has already been shocking, what would it be like if they saw those children with their own eyes? Especially the photos of several children she saw at the welfare institution; one child was about the sage as William, or even smaller.
But that child had a younger brother, a sister, and an elderly grandmother to care for.
The grandmother could only do what was within her ability and wasn't of much help.
For food, it was the neighbors who pitied them, each pitching in whatever little they could to provide for them.
But people in the mountains can barely feed themselves, let alone help others, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
Seeing the photo of that child, Elly couldn't help but put William in his place, unable to imagine what it would be like if her own son lived that life.
Just the thought made her heart ache.
She knew that Adam would disagree; she didn't act willfully but patiently explained the situation to him.
"I promise, I'll pick a good day and go with a team, and I'll be back in a few days." Her eyes, bright and expectant, awaited Adam's approval.
Adam knew that his wife seemed cooperative, didn't make a fuss, didn't lose her temper, but in reality, she could be quite stubborn.
Once she made up her mind about something, she would definitely go through with it.
If he disagreed now, she'd just cup with another plan, which would put him in a more passive position.
Looking at Elly's determined expression at this moment, he finally sighed, "Fine, you must promiseyou won't be reckless, callevery day, and if you encounter any danger, don't try to be strong; let the people accompanying you help." Listening to Adam's endless nagging, Elly was somewhat helpless, but obediently nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
With that obedient and pleasing manner, Adam snorted softly l If you really listened to me, would you still insist on going?"
Elly giggled twice, leaning in to kiss him on the face, "Isn't it because h know my dear Island Master Jones dotes onthe most, and will indulgein anything?" Having been kissed by his wife, and praised by her as well, Island Master Jones indeed felt a bit more comfortable inside.
But he still huffed twice on the surface, showing his dissatisfaction.
