Chapter 191
Christy forced a smile and said, “Here’s the thing. I want to ask you first. Where did you… learn your embroidery skills?”
Sunshine Village was a very underdeveloped place. When Crystal went to primary school, the school organized an activity. They couldn’t go too far, and the location of the activity was the old folks’ home in the town.
Crystal met an old lady there.
The nurse in the old folks’ home said that the old lady, Monique, was originally living in a mental hospital, but there were too many patients in the mental hospital. So, Monique, who was slightly more normal and had no relatives, was sent to a remote countryside.
Monique’s temper was very strange. She didn’t talk to anyone, nor did she smile. Every day, she played with the needles and threads alone. Her reaction was slow and she couldn’t do any meticulous work. However, she wasn’t tired of trying to embroider.
On the day they went to the old folks’ home to work as a volunteer, many children saw Monique, but Crystal was the only one who had helped her get through the needlework.
After that, Crystal would go to the old folks’ home whenever she had the time. Monique would guide her in embroidery. Crystal came to learn it as a hobby, which was barely entertainment for her. Sometimes, when Monique was sober, her expression would always be very sad.
The day before Crystal left, she went to the old folks’ home to visit Monique for the last time. At that time, Monique said, “You are not my official disciple. So after entering the city, don’t tell anyone that -you know me. Do you understand?”
Crystal was confused, but she still agreed.
“I learned it from the women in the village.” Crystal raised her eyes and looked at Christy calmly. “I
don’t have a master.”
