When Helen saw that Lady Acker seemed to be in low spirits, she comforted her somewhat apologetically, “Lady Acker, I just moved in here not long ago. I don’t know if Charlie has been here for so many years before I moved in, so you don’t have to be so pessimistic and worry too much.”
Lady Acker nodded slightly and sighed as she said, “I have no doubts that Charlie is still alive, but I can find too few clues related to Charlie now. If any one of these clues are broken, it would mean that there will be one less clue…”
Helen smiled and said, “Lady Acker, perhaps it’s just not the right time for you to be reunited with him now. When the time is right, I believe he will come to meet you even if he is far away.”
Lady Acker smiled wryly and said, “I believe what you’ve said. I’m just afraid that I will not be able to wait for that day when I’m already at this age.”
Helen could not help but feel a little distressed when she saw the old lady was so melancholy.
Aurous Hill was definitely a sad place for Lady Acker that she could not bear to look back on. Her daughter and son-in-law had died here, and her grandson had disappeared from here for twenty years.
Helen would not have the courage to come here either if she was in Lady Acker’s shoes.
However, Lady Acker still came here without hesitation at such an old age. This alone required a long period of psychological construction.
With that thought in mind, Helen could not help but think to herself, ‘Charlie, your grandmother still came to Aurous Hill at such an old age, so you should at least think of her no matter how serious your reasons are, right?’
***
As Lady Acker was visiting Helen’s house, Charlie was still silently paying attention to Caden’s teaching progress at Champs Elys Resort.
The liquid that he had previously bottled up in the mid-level villa was still kept in the villa. Charlie planned to wait for a few more days to distribute the liquid to everyone after Nanako, Aurora, Isaac, and Albert had successfully entered the path to martial arts so that everyone could experience the feeling of rapid growth in their cultivation.
After staying in Champs Elys Resort all morning, Caden only stopped his morning lectures at 11:30 AM. He said loudly to everyone, “Everyone, this morning’s lecture is over. You’re free to eat and rest. We will start the afternoon class at 1:30 PM sharp.”
