Chapter 1597 Thank You for Helping Us
Eliana hurriedly opened her window. "Did Ms. Wynter send you? She just left. Will she be in danger? I'm so worried. Should I call the police? I won't be able to sleep well if something happens to her."
Elmer replied calmly, "Calling the police might attract the wrong kind of attention. Besides, my boss is amazing, so there's nothing she can't resolve. She has her own plans. Right now, we need to get you and your family to Kingbourne. You should be treated at Empathy Clinic."
His admiration for Wynter was evident in his tone.
"Pack your things and come with me," Elmer instructed.
Having surveyed the area, he confirmed that they wouldn't be caught. Those supervising the apartment would only assume the elderly couple was simply collecting bottles and preparing meals at home before heading out in the afternoon.
Getting the Lindens to Kingbourne was Elmer's top priority. Without wasting any time, he helped the elders pick up their luggage.
However, Anson remained skeptical due to the recent rise of fraud gangs. Indeed, it was always wise to stay cautious. In response to Anson's concern, Elmer calmly showed his license. But when Anson still hesitated, Eliana grew anxious.
Eliana understood that their time was precious, especially considering that Wynter had risked venturing into the lion's den alone.
Determined not to delay any longer, Eliana knelt and gazed into her grandparents' eyes. "There's something I need to tell you two, but I'm not sure how to begin.
"The truth is that the scholarship program initiated by the school is a scam, and so is the exchange student program. Perhaps, there's some truth to it, but I doubt it applies to me.
"Think about it why hasn't Penelope contacted Mr. Sawyer or anyone else? Has she really become haughty after going abroad, as the rumors suggest? Outsiders might think that way, but Penelope is the kindest person I've ever known, Grandpa."
She continued, "Penelope woke up early every day to help her father sell hot dogs. She always looked out for me and once mentioned that her biggest dream was to provide a better life for Mr. Sawyer.
"Instead of tirelessly pushing his cart around or getting chased away, she wanted to open a store for him. I feel the same way—I study hard in hopes of creating a better life for both of you.
"Something must've happened to Penelope that prevented her from returning, and the scholarship program is a cover-up for the truth!"
Eliana honestly disclosed, "Ms. Wynter, who came to visit, has gone to that dangerous place in my stead, and I have no idea what awaits her. Everything she did was to keep us safe, Grandpa. If you have any questions, we'll discuss them at the station later, alright?"
As they aged, most elders often struggled to accept new ideas. However, they could always sense genuine compassion when they encountered it.
When Anson and Agnes heard Eliana's revelation, their eyes reddened. Despite their difficult lives, they had lived long enough to grasp the weight of her words. At that point, they set aside their doubts and heeded Eliana's advice.
As they expressed their gratitude to Elmer, they couldn't shake their concern for Wynter. Upon reaching Hawford South Station, the elderly couple anxiously inquired, "Will that young lady be in danger?"
Recognizing their worry for Wynter, Elmer assured them that she would be fine.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Thank you so much, young man. We truly appreciate your help," Anson said, trembling as he grabbed Elmer's hands.
