Chapter 75: Hidden Deep
In the face of Mrs. Casey’s angry accusations and Shireen Miller’s framing and condescension, Blanche Capra just smiled faintly, “Auntie, I wasn’t trying to burn Miss Miller.”
Mrs. Casey lets out a snort, “Of course you won’t admit that,” she says and glares at an expressionless York Charlie, “York! Shireen is hurt, you need to get her to the hospital.”
York Charlie frowned at that, “There’s no need, it’s just a small burn,” he said and sneered at Shireen Miller who was still red-eyed on the side, “Besides she brought it on herself.”
Shireen Miller heard this, the tears contained immediately rolled down like a string of beads, “Yo… York, how can you say that to me? I was obviously kindly pouring tea for Miss Capra, and she purposely pushed it away so that she could spill water on my hands.”
Mrs. Casey said on the side with no weakening of her temper, “Leaving aside whether Miss Capra was intentional or not, York you as the master of the house, Shireen Miller came to our house as a guest, and now that her hand is injured, you have the obligation to send her to the hospital, right?”
York Charlie frowned and didn’t say anything, just didn’t move a muscle.
At this point OLD LADY Elsa spoke up, “Tell you what, the hospital won’t be necessary, York is right, it’s just a burn from the tea, it’s not like we don’t have a medical kit at home. But as a guest of the Charlie family,” here, she deliberately emphasised the word “guest”, and her eyes were looking at Shireen Miller, “York, your mother has a point. York, your mother has a point, we need to treat this guest’s injuries.”
What old lady Elsa said, no one dared to interrupt, but these consecutive several “guest” made Shireen Miller was sarcastic and lost face, the blame is that Shireen Miller herself almost never regarded herself as the Charlie family’s guest, otherwise the old lady said this to her, she would not have thought that she was a guest of the Charlie family, so she was not a guest of the Charlie family, but a guest of the Charlie family. Why else would she feel like she’d been slapped in the face when the old lady said that?Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The old lady was old enough to pause in the middle of a sentence, and the next sentence made Shireen Miller feel as if she had been run over in the heart, just as she had been punched in the face. The old lady Elsa said, “Now that the Charlie family is here, it’s not my turn to help you with your burns, Miss Miller, is it?”
Shireen Miller could not say no, so she nodded her head.
old lady Elsa added, “Then the remaining three, should have let York and his daughter-in-law to help you deal with, but the old lady I want to talk to my grandson in law, uh … then it will be York and his mother to help you, look at it like this, okay? ”
old lady Elsa’s words seemed to give Shireen Miller enough face, but in fact it was to let her know that Blanche Capra was already her identified granddaughter-in-law, one of the masters of the Charlie family, Shireen Miller hated that she couldn’t hear what she meant, otherwise now she wouldn’t be so angry, this ashamed.
Shireen Miller nodded with tears in her eyes.
old lady Elsa’s sentence after sentence had frozen Mrs. Casey’s ears, but York Charlie’s face was a happy smile, he thought, this kind of “Blanche Capra is his daughter-in-law” feeling is really wonderful, as if with this premise, all the reactionaries really become a paper tiger. As if with this premise, all reactionaries would really become paper tigers.
Alas, Grandma is worthy of being a legend in the shopping mall, she is really good at grasping the core and exercising sovereignty, and she also has a mixture of soft and firm, double entendre!
Blanche Capra, who had been silent for a long time, however, felt. grandma Elsa repeated this again and again to emphasise that she was York Charlie’s daughter-in-law. It was her granddaughter-in-law, and she was on the verge of thinking it was true herself!
“Granddaughter-in-law, you come with me.” old lady Elsa said suddenly.
Blanche Capra’s head snapped up with a startled look on her face.
OLD LADY Elsa directly took her hand and saw that her reaction was a little too much to bear, “What’s the matter, didn’t you hear Grandma just now? I have something to say to you, and as for the guests, let York and his mother handle it.”
Blanche Capra was dumbfounded to be led inside by OLD LADY Elsa, and York Charlie looked on with more than a smile.
How had he not realized that Grandma had such potential to tease his daughter-in-law?
“York, what, haven’t you seen enough? Quickly go and help the guest with the burns, I’ll return your daughter-in-law later!” old lady Elsa said over there, holding back her laughter and pretending to be serious.
Then she led Blanche Capra away, leaving the remaining three people with fluctuating hearts and different faces.
Blanche Capra followed old lady Elsa into the study.
“grandma Elsa, what did you want to see me about?” Blanche Capra asked.
OLD LADY Elsa looked at her and sighed slightly, “Call me grandma, Brandi.”
Blanche Capra heart first panic, and then can not stop sour, but face calmly said, “I am not … grandma, you are mistaken.”
Grandma, I’m sorry, I can’t admit it, I haven’t been that Brandi for a long time.
It was as if a bitter spring was constantly rising in Blanche Capra s throat, making her so careful and labourious even to speak, or else that bitter water would have to be poured into her mouth if she were not careful, and then flow out with every opening of her mouth to speak.
No, she couldn’t tell the truth of the matter, even though she knew how she couldn’t lie in front of this old man. Especially when she looked into her eyes, which could embrace all suffering, she couldn’t help but confide in her.
Blanche Capra hastily lowered her head not daring to look at her.
old lady Elsa took in the change in her eyes. No matter how much a person’s facial expression was disguised, the emotions in those eyes could not be hidden, and the old lady, herself, was able to tell one way or the other when someone locked eyes with her.
“O Brandi, why do you deny it, how could I be wrong,” said the woman, grabbing Blanche Capra’s left hand, “do you remember what I told you about this crease and the meaning of the birthmark in it?”
Blanche Capra’s heart skipped a beat as she followed her gaze, there was an unobtrusive crease on the inside of her left hand’s tiger’s mouth, and if she opened it with her hand, it revealed a dark red birthmark hidden inside, like a very thin, very fine willow leaf.
old lady Elsa looked at her lowered head trembling eyelashes, also did not wait for her to answer, said with a sigh, “once I happened to find this fold on your left hand, there is also a willow leaf-shaped birthmark hidden inside, I said ah, this stands for ‘retaining’, that is, the ancients folded the willow to retain the departing man That means, this may be left behind in your past life, in order to remind yourself that in this life there is someone you must use all your strength to retain it …”
Blanche Capra has already sobbed uncontrollably when she heard this, “Grandma … I’ve tried my best to keep him, but … but he still left me… … Oooo,” Blanche Capra flung herself into old lady Elsa’s arms, “I … I tried so hard, but in the end he still didn’t want me, do you know how much pain I was in? ”
old lady Elsa also can’t help but tear up, heart for this child pain, and listen to her choked and said, “At that time, you said, the reason why this birthmark is hidden so deep, is because that person is also hidden very deep, I … I think that the one that is hidden in my heart is the deepest is him, but later I realized that it’s not him at all. But then I realized that it wasn’t that at all, maybe … maybe it was telling me that I couldn’t see or feel him at all, that he … was hiding too deep!”
OLD LADY Elsa gently patted her trembling back and shook her head, “No, no child, why don’t you just think that there might be another meaning?”
Blanche Capra’s breath caught in her throat, what did it mean?
old lady Elsa said heartily, “You’ve hidden him deep, and he’s hidden you deep, silly child, you’re both silly children …”
Blanche Capra stopped crying, the tears stopped flowing out, but seemed to pour violently back into her heart. She wanted to shake her head and say that it couldn’t be, that it wasn’t, but then she remembered that he had been thinking of her, and his tears and crying that night, and even more so that day when he had said with his own lips that he loved her, that she was the woman he loved most …
If these, is not counted as he put her at ease, he hid her deep, then these, and all count for what?
