Adele was holding the diluted nutrient solution, about to feed it to Tara little by little, when Ciel stopped Adele. She took the supplent from her hand, preparing to feed her herself.
This was also to prevent Adele from getting a close look at Tara’s teeth.
While feeding Tara with the reagent bottle, Ciel also noticed the withered plants nearby and asked curiously, “Did Avena find them so quickly? Are these from North Ansu?”
“No, they are samples I requested from the Redemption Society. Because I donated so Su Pounds, they gave so for free.”
Adele’s attention was instantly diverted. She looked at the withered plant Ciel ntioned and shook her head, then continued, “North Ansu is full of these. They are not worth much... but they need to be properly preserved to avoid contaminating local crops.”
“I see...”
Ciel nodded.
At this mont, she also happened to finish feeding the nutrient solution. She looked at Adele and asked, “Is there anything else that needs to be done?”
“No need. Just give her so water and so food when she wakes up.”
Adele looked at Tara lying on the table and murmured, “A North Ansu refugee... This is the first ti I’ve seen soone so starved...”
Ciel: “...”
So Tara is even worse off now than those refugees from North Ansu?
“You are too kind, Ciel.”
Adele looked at Ciel and said with a smile, “Fortunately, this child t you. Otherwise, she would have starved to death.”
Ciel: “...”
If she had gone to find Tara a few days later, she would have literally starved to death...
How does Adele manage to accurately hit her with every sentence despite knowing nothing?
“Ahem...”
Ciel coughed slightly, masking her embarrassnt, and said, “I’ve already asked the reception nurse at the entrance to buy so food. It should be here soon.”
“Carry her to the sofa over there. She should wake up soon.”
Adele finished speaking. After watching Ciel carry the person to the sofa and place her down, she asked curiously, “What do you plan to do next, Ciel?”
“What next? This girl?”
Ciel looked at Adele after placing Tara down.
“Yes,”
Adele said, “If you just let her leave like this, she’ll starve herself half to death again, won’t she?”
“I don’t know,” Ciel shook her head and said, “I’ll ask Avena if she needs a handyman maid over there. At least she’ll get food.”
“That’s true.”
Adele nodded, then seed to think of sothing and looked at Ciel, asking, “Did you find the ‘Gardener’ potion and Reconstitution Ritual?”
“Gardener” potion?
Ciel rembered that she had indeed asked Avena to do this, but Avena had been almost non-stop busy lately, so she probably couldn’t manage this matter.
After briefly telling Adele about what Avena was currently experiencing, Adele took a deep breath, her face full of shock.
“How much? Fifty thousand Su Pounds?!”
Adele’s mouth was wide open.
“This this this...”
No matter how she imagined it in her mind, she couldn’t imagine how spectacular fifty thousand Gold Pounds piled together would be.
How could anyone spend all that!
“Yes, you can’t even rob a bank for that much.”
Ciel also nodded with empathy, sighing.
Because she had actually robbed one before, and there really wasn’t that much.
“You robbed a bank?”
Adele looked at Ciel, her face full of shock.
Most people would just think Ciel was joking. Adele actually believed her.
Ciel: “...”
“I was just giving an example,” Ciel said sowhat helplessly, “You can’t even withdraw ten or twenty thousand pounds from a bank overnight. You have to make an appointnt in advance and have them prepare the funds.”
“I see...”
Adele nodded, looking like she had learned sothing new.
After all, she had never dealt with such large amounts of money before. This kind of knowledge was simply too niche for her.
“Mmm...”
A slight sound attracted the attention of both. They turned around and saw Tara, who had regained so strength, sitting up.
Tara sat up, her body soft against the back of the sofa. Looking at the laboratory before her, and Adele and Ciel standing not far in front, her mind was blank for a mont.
Where is this? Who are they?
Who am I supposed to be again?
“Does a North Ansu refugee who fainted from hunger wake up so quickly?” Ciel looked at Adele and asked deliberately.
“If there was more sugar in the nutrient solution just now, she would have woken up faster... but it’s about this ti anyway.”
Adele looked at the green-haired child curiously as she answered Ciel’s question.
After thinking for a while, she slowly walked towards Tara, slowing her tone and speaking with a strained voice, as if talking to a child, “Little one, can you speak Ansu language~?”
“Yes.”
Tara nodded stiffly. She had been a little dizzy just now, but she had already figured out the current situation.
Was Mother Goddess bringing her to the hospital? Is this doctor... a transcendent?
Looking at Mother Goddess’s behavior, she should not be an enemy...
“How did you faint from hunger? Where are your father, mother, or other family mbers?”
Adele half-knelt and asked softly.
Tara glanced at Ciel with her peripheral vision. The next second, she pursed her lips, and large tears imdiately welled up in her eyes: “They... they all starved to death... on the way here... Wuwuwu...”
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. You’ll faint again. Wait, I’ll get you sothing to eat.”
Adele saw that she had made the other party cry and quickly got up, ran towards the door, pulled it open, and rushed downstairs.
Tara slightly stopped crying and looked towards Ciel. Ciel also looked at Tara and nodded slightly.
Zhang Yimou would be shocked.
[Translator’s Note: Zhang Yimou (张艺谋) is a famous Chinese filmmaker.]
Hurried footsteps ca from the door.
No sooner said than done, Tara directly supported herself with her hands on the sofa and quickly threw herself over, scrambling to Ciel’s side and imdiately hugging her leg.
“Wuwuwu, Lord Ciel, was it you who saved ? I don’t know how to repay you. Please let be your servant for life Wuwuwu...”
Tara said tearfully.
