About half an hour passed, and Lady Sweeney still had not returned.
Mrs. Kaur was growing impatient.
She stood up from the sofa, pacing restlessly around the living room.
Her steps were hurried and anxious.
She couldn't help but let her mind wander. Was it possible that the expert was unwilling to help? Or did he think she couldn't afford his fee? Or maybe her situation was too complicated for him to handle?
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her mind became, and the more anxious she felt.
But this was someone else's home, and despite her frustration and anger, she dared not show it.
All she could do was wait.
Just as she was about to lose her patience, Lady Sweeney leisurely walked back in from outside.
Before Lady Sweeney could speak, Mrs. Kaur rushed to her like a madwoman, her face full of nervousness and excitement. "Lady Sweeney, what did the expert say? Is he willing to help me?"
Lady Sweeney chuckled softly and took out a yellow talisman paper. "I was waiting there because the expert was making this talisman!"
Seeing the talisman, Mrs. Kaur immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled, and she felt much more at ease.
"So the expert was helping me all along... I thought he wouldn't help me!"
"How could that be? To the expert, your issue is a piece of cake." Lady Sweeney handed the yellow talisman paper to Mrs. Kaur. "The expert said to burn this talisman at midnight in the northwest corner of your yard. This will ensure you safely get through this crisis. If you make it through, don't forget to thank the expert. Otherwise, there will be consequences."
Mrs. Kaur's hands trembled with excitement as she looked at the yellow talisman in her palm, her voice shaking. "Don't worry, I will follow the master's instructions."
Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. "I was at my wit's end and never expected you to help me in the end. Lady Sweeney, I will never forget your kindness. Thank you."
"Oh, there's no need to be so polite," Lady Sweeney smiled, a flash of disdain in her eyes.
Mrs. Kaur quickly asked, "How much do I owe for this talisman? I'll transfer the money right away."
Lady Sweeney shook her head. "We've known each other for a while; talking about money would be too formal. You should hurry home."
Hearing that it was free, Mrs. Kaur became even more emotional, her gratitude towards Lady Sweeney indescribable. "Thank you, thank you. Once I get through this, I will repay you generously."
Compared to Mrs. Kaur's excitement, Lady Sweeney's reaction was much more indifferent. "You should go back now and remember to burn the talisman as instructed."
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Kaur hurriedly left.
On her way home, she held onto the talisman paper as if it were a precious treasure, carrying all her hopes with it.
She rushed home frantically.
First, she found the exact location and direction. Then she took a deep breath.
Midnight was still hours away.
She had to wait; she had to wait until midnight.
She carefully put away the talisman paper and returned to her room.
At that moment, various authorities had almost all gotten involved. However, out of respect for the Kaur family group, they had not yet taken any drastic measures against Mrs. Kaur's training institution.
They were merely advising parents to stay calm and not get too agitated.
They suggested waiting a bit longer; after all, no one had said they were running away and had promised to refund the money.
The institution's staff explained that there was simply no money in the account at the moment.
This employee was on the verge of breaking down; if it weren't for the high salary Mrs. Kaur offered her, she wouldn't have stayed behind to deal with these messy issues after all other employees had been dismissed.
She had been scolded to tears by angry parents several times, her eyes red and swollen.
But no one showed any sympathy for her.
In everyone's eyes, all training institution staff were bloodsuckers and heartless merchants.
They had taken their money and still had the nerve to cry in front of them.
Did they have no conscience?
Time quickly reached midnight.
Nola looked at Mrs. Kaur curiously. "Mom, it's almost midnight; why aren't you asleep yet?"
She had finished watching her drama series and variety shows and was about to drink a carton of milk before going to bed.
When she stepped out of her room, she found her mother still wide awake in the living room, playing on her phone and scrolling through TikTok.
Was this for real?
Usually, Mrs. Kaur would have gone to bed long ago for her beauty sleep at this hour.
Mrs. Kaur was filled with anticipation and could hardly contain herself, but she didn't want to tell Nola before anything happened.
She forced a smile. "You go to bed first. There's too much on my mind; I can't sleep."
