Chapter 1288 

Ever since Joan got there, she noticed that Stella’s gaze was fixed on a certain point, and she hardly ever moved her eyes, regardless of what she said. 

It was a clear sign that she was blind. 

“Yes,” Stella replied. “My eyes were injured, and I got snow blindness a while ago. The doctor said I should get better in a few months, but my eyes show no signs of getting better yet. I might stay blind for a long time, so I’d like to ask if you’d be willing to come and take care of me for a while. I’ll pay you, of course, so don’t worry about that.” 

Joan considered her offer for a long time, but in the end, 

she refused. 

“I know you mean well, Madam, and I know that we’ve always gotten along very well in the past, but I can’t work with you in good conscience anymore…” 

“I understand,” Stella sighed, then added regretfully, “I was only asking, but since you’re not willing to do it, just think of it as coming out to meet an old friend.” 

Joan sighed in relief, “Thank you, Madam. Thank you for 

not making it harder for me.”
