Chapter 1744:

Unaware of the group’s mixed emotions, Virginia cheerfully pushed open the creaking door, dashed inside, and called out, “Dad, Mom, Ms. Sanderson is here! She’s come to visit us and my grandma…”

Dragging their belongings behind them, the group followed into the meticulously cleaned yet dilapidated house, their expressions growing more complex.

“Harlee, my parents are likely in the fields. I’ll go call them. Please, make yourself comfortable,” Virginia said before rushing out.

Meanwhile, Ulises had been summoned early on to assist at the village chief’s house. As the crowd of villagers dispersed, only Harlee and her companions remained in the Swain family’s humble abode.

Robbie glanced around before his gaze settled on Harlee, who was seated on a wooden chair. He asked quietly, “Harlee, was Nyomi’s life always this tough?” Harlee met his eyes, her expression composed, and replied slowly, “I wasn’t aware during my time with the Gill family, and even less so with the Sandersons.”

Nyomi had always spoken of her family’s life as joyful, leaving Harlee oblivious to the reality of their struggles. A heavy silence fell over the group.

Eventually, Virginia returned with her parents. They were simple, honest-looking farmers, a stark contrast to their former roles as servants in the Gill family.

“Ms. Sanderson, how could you…”

Virginia’s parents, Deniz and Ivy Swain, said, their faces marked by awkwardness.
