Fiancé Uncle 178

The sudden movement startled Thea. She quickly helped him up. "Eric, what on earth are you doing? Do get up."

Eric shook his head, his eyes red and a tinge of sorrow in his tone. "Miss Rowland, I know what I'm about to say might seem a bit excessive, but I still hope you'll give me a chance. You've seen the situation here.

"It's a desolate place with no proper roads. In recent years, the mineral output has indeed been dwindling. However, we do produce top-notch products here. It's just that the company's operations haven't been going well, and we can't fetch a good price for what we produce.

"If the factory shuts down, the families around here will have no means of livelihood in the future. The children you saw today still have their mothers at home to accompany them for now. But if the factory closes, those children

will truly become wild kids with no one to look after them. Miss Rowland, I can tell from your appearance that you were raised in a sheltered environment, a pampered child. You might not be able to understand this feeling. I can take you out for a tour. I also know that you d working so hard, just trying to survive." Towards the end, Eric was already sobbing.

Thea was deeply touched, her eyes turning red as she let out a bitter laugh. "I might not have had the kind of good life you think. I've never experienced this sort of life

either, but I can empathize with you. Do get up. Since Grandpa has entrusted Sparkle Rocks to me, I'm naturally reluctant to give up. We'll take it one step at a time. Although I don't have much experience in this regard, I'm willing to give it a try."

Hearing these words, Eric felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders and thanked her profusely.

Meanwhile, Nicolas had also arrived in Silvercreek.

As soon as he got off the plane, the car prepared by Darwin was already waiting for him at the entrance.

After getting into the car, Nicolas was going through Thea's itinerary for the past few days.

"Sparkle Rocks." He murmured the word softly, suddenly feeling a sense of familiarity.

Coincidentally, her phone vibrated. It was a call from Darwin 'Mr. Hendrix, Ms. Ralap has been arranged. She's been taken back to the Hendrix family for treatment. Her condition is stable for now, but it's not a long- term solution. If Ms. Ralap notices something amiss one day, there will surely be a commotion."

Nicolas pinched the bridge of his nose, a slight headache coming on. "What did the doctor say? Is there still no way to make her remember things quickly?"

"The doctor said he's doing his best. He can only hope that Ms. Ralap will be willing to remember on her own, Darwin continued to say.

"Keep her emotions in check first." Nicolas's thin lips parted slightly, a glint of coldness in his eyes. "I won't return to Key Biskane until the matters here are sorted out. It's no use for her to threaten with self-harm ""Yes." Darwin's tone was f

firm. "I'll quickly hand over the matters here to my subordinates. Once everything is taken care of, I'll rush to Silvercreek immediately"
