Chapter 1247: Chapter 1241: Extra Saving People 2_1 Chapter 1247: Chapter 1241: Extra Saving People 2_1 Although there might be others who were even more miserable in this era, Finn Lewis could not ignore those he encountered.
After consulting with Zero, he heard the woman’s voice from inside: “Young Master, please co in.”
Finn Lewis took a deep breath, turned around, and entered the room.
That unpleasant sll hit him again, but this ti he was ntally prepared, so he was barely able to tolerate it.
“I have been bedridden with illness for a long ti and cannot get up to thank the Young Master.
Please forgive ,” the woman said softly.
“No need, you just lie down,” Finn Lewis said hastily.
“The room slls bad, I ask the Young Master to be forgiving,” said the woman in a soft voice.
...
“I understand, don’t worry about it.
If you need any help, just tell .
I may not have much, but I can at least do that.
Grace helped today, and now that I have co across you, I cannot turn a blind eye,” Finn Lewis said softly after considering his words.
“Grace, go to the auntie next door and borrow a bowl.
Bring it back to serve the Young Master so water.
Young Master, I don’t have much to offer you here, so I can only invite you to drink a bowl of water,” the woman said weakly.
Finn Lewis was about to stop her, but then he thought that the woman might have sothing to say to him, so he did not stop her.
Grace Harvey agreed and ran out.
After Grace Harvey left, the woman suddenly struggled to sit up in bed, and before Finn Lewis could react, she got off the bed and “plop” knelt on the ground.
“What are you doing?” Finn Lewis was startled and quickly asked, taking a few quick steps forward.
He was just about to help her up when the woman bowed her head, and her wide personal garnt hung down.
Finn Lewis stopped himself abruptly, now unsure whether to help her or not.
“Young Master, I have a request!
From Jade’s words, I know that you are a kind man.
I am aware that I probably won’t last much longer, but I beg you to take in Jade!
Even if you take her in as a personal maid or a servant, I only ask that you look after Jade.
In the next life, I will be a cow or a horse to repay your great kindness,” the woman spoke through tears, crying as she knelt there and kowtowed to Finn Lewis.
Finn Lewis had no choice but to intercede; if she kept kowtowing like that, she would injure her forehead before long.
Finn Lewis bent down, stretched out his arms to grab her thin arms—thin as a child’s—and supported her body, helping her to sit up.
As he moved closer, Finn Lewis noticed that the woman was extrely beautiful.
Even though her hair had not been combed or washed for a long ti and was tangled in knots.
Moreover, she was skin and bones, but her facial features were harmonious, and her face bore traces of filth, probably residues left after vomiting without being wiped clean.
“Miss, forgive my frankness, Jade is your daughter, and she needs you to look after her as she grows up, not to be entrusted to .
Moreover, how do you know if I am a good person or a bad one?
What if you throw her into the fire by doing so?” Finn Lewis said in a grave voice.
“Young Master, I know you are a good man, please, I beg you, could you please take in Grace?
She is capable, understanding, and also knows how to play the zither and understands painting and calligraphy.
I beseech you to take her in as a maid; I really have no way of repaying you.
In our next life, I will beco a cow or a horse to repay your kindness,” the woman said, grasping Finn Lewis’s arms tightly, weeping and pleading.
“Number One, go find a clean blanket to bring here,” Finn Lewis said after a mont of thought, biting his lip.
Number One agreed and left to find it.
Since Number One had not co in with him, Finn Lewis helped the woman up, allowing her to sit on the bed, before saying, “Miss, have you considered how Grace might feel about being entrusted to ?”
