Chapter 543 Too Good to Be True

“That place is so empty. Stay at the Winthrop Residence for a few days first,” Elspeth suggested.
“That place is so empty. Stay at the Winthrop Residence for a few days first,” Elspeth suggested.

“Very well. thank you so much, Miss Elspeth.”

Isabel’s maturity made Elspeth even more worried.

“It’s fine, Isabel. We’re family, after all.”

Elspeth had a hand on Isabel’s shoulder while staring down at Isabel’s red eyes. Her voice was gentle and patient as she reassured Isabel while they walked.

It took a long time before Isabel recovered from her previous emotional state.

Once Gilbert brought Isabel’s bags over, Isabel finally settled down in the Winthrop Residence.

…

Meanwhile, Elspeth hid Helia away in a nearby villa to prevent people from finding out about her.

Though moving her was done to stop others from realizing she was there, the other reason was that it was more convenient to take care of her.

One day after work, Elspeth headed over to that villa to bring Helia some gifts, but Helia was nowhere to be found.

She immediately assumed Helia had been kidnapped. She was about to call for someone to look for Helia when Helia happily walked into the villa with a bag of vegetables in her hand.

Walking beside her was Isabel who was dressed in casual clothes.

A look of astonishment flashed on Isabel’s face when she saw Elspeth, but she soon regained her calm.

“Why are you here, Miss Elspeth?”

Elspeth was startled as well to see Isabel together with Helia. “How did you two know each other?”

Before Isabel could answer, Helia replied, “Well, one day when I was out buying groceries, my back suddenly flared up in pain when I was near the street corner. By chance, I bumped into Isabel. She helped carry my bags back. It was only later that I found out she was a child you raised and that she was your sister. I thought it to be fate that we bumped into each other, so I began to hang out with her.”
