Chapter 231 Went to Ask the Dog

Mother said, “Alexander initially thought the same, but the villager said that the place where those skeletons were found was the village that had sunk into the ground years ago. Moreover, some stone tools and some iron tools used by the villagers, some things that could not rot, were all found.” She paused slightly, then said, “Could this have been caused by the movement of the earth’s crust? After all, many phenomena in nature occur quietly.”

I pursed my lips, momentarily hesitating. If it was as my mother had said, then if the remains of those victims from that year were found, someone would discover the connection between the mountain’s subsidence and the mining that took place that year.

“Tabatha, are you listening?” I hadn’t spoken for a while, and my mother’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Into the phone, I quickly spoke, “Mom, I’m listening.” After a slight pause, I still couldn’t help but say, “No matter what, you guys should come back early.”

Over the phone, the mother replied, “Alright, Alexander and I will come back as soon as we finish our work. By the way, how have you been these past few days? Are you okay? Has Ashley been giving you any trouble?”

I spoke, helplessly saying, “I’m fine, Ashley is in jail, what trouble can she cause me? As long as you guys come back earlier, so I don’t have to worry.”

Mother still worried, “What about the Hinton family? You and Walter…

Knowing she wanted to nag about these trivial matters again, I quickly said into the phone, “I’m fine, everything is as usual, and I’ve already divorced him, what could possibly happen between us? Alright, it’s getting late, you should go to bed early, remember to come back early.”

Upon seeing this, my mother didn’t say much more and hung up the phone with me.

When Walter came in again, he was carrying a medicine box. Seeing him, I didn’t really have anything to say. I turned around to dry my hair and deal with my own things.

Just as I turned around, I suddenly heard a “hiss!”

Subconsciously, I turned around and saw Walter reaching back to remove the bandage that had already been wrapped around his head. He couldn’t see the wound, so he was preparing to apply the medicine by feeling his way around.

I quickly walked over to him, took the medicine from his hand, and looked at him with furrowed brows, “Don’t we have a doctor at home?” How tough was he to have to apply medicine himself?

Seeing the medicine taken by me, he snatched it from my hand and said, “Dr. Li didn’t live in the old house, it’s late now, it’s troublesome for him to go back and forth, the wound is not big, I can handle it myself.”

I was speechless. If only his eyes could see the wound at the back of his head, I could have turned a blind eye, but…

Seeing him about to apply medicine to himself again, I couldn’t hold back and said, “Let me help you change it.”
