Chapter 1980


    "Miss, what''s wrong?" Catherine smiled as she looked at Persephone, who was standing frozen in


    ce. "Did I startle you?"


    "I..."


    "Miss, are you really feeling unwell?"


    Persephone didn''t immediately grasp the situation. Catherine reached out to touch her forehead, and


    she instinctively flinched. However, when she met Catherine''s eyes, she seemed to understand


    something.


    "Miss is unwell!" Catherine immediately switched to a concerned expression, looking around and


    shouting, "This is bad! Miss is unwell!"


    Soon, the other two bodyguards emerged from a corner. Once they saw Persephone, they both


    avoided meeting her gaze and anxiously exined, "Seamus was worried about you... That''s why he


    asked us to follow along.


    "Miss, let us take the things!

    "Miss, are you really feeling unwell?"


    "Why even ask?" Catherine immediately helped Persephone to arge tree, taking out a handkerchief


    to fan her. "She looks so pale, can''t you see it? From what I see, she''s just too tired."


    Persephone did look unwell. Just after hearing Catherine''s story about the bus, her legs weakened, her


    face turned pale, and her breathing became unstable.


    "You two take the things back!" Catherine said directly. "There''s a clinic on the next street. I''ll


    apany her there!"


    The two bodyguards hesitated to act, looking at each other at a loss.


    Throughout, Persephone had been cooperating with Catherine''s act.


    Catherine said she was unwell, so she yed the part of being weak. Catherine said she didn''t look


    good, so her lips even started quivering.


    When Catherine mentioned going to the clinic, she initially waved it off and said weakly,


    "No, I need... to go back and cook for Seamus."


    "But..."


    Persephone leaned against Catherine''s shoulder, coughing lightly.


    "You two take the things back first." Persephone looked at the two men. "I do feel unwell, but let''s skip


    the clinic. Granny Catherine will take me to buy some medicine, okay?"


    Although the two guards were hesitant, they were obedient enough, taking the groceries and hurrying


    back home.


    Once they were gone, Persephone immediately stood up, her big, beautiful eyes seemingly trying to


    see through Catherine.


    Catherine knew what she was thinking and couldn''t help but giggle.


    "Alright!" She held Persephone''s hand. "At this point, there''s no point hiding it from you. Besides, it''s


    something you should have known by now."


    "Actually, from the first day you took care of me, it was all premeditated, wasn''t it?" Persephone asked.


    "Well, not exactly nned. I was asked by someone to do this. Also..." Catherine gestured toward the


    back of therge tree.


    Curious, Persephone followed, only to be astonished by what she saw.


    Catherine removed her gray wig, took off her worn-out gray shirt, and finally... peeled off the mask on


    her face!


    She wasn''t Granny Catherine at all—she was a girl who looked about the same age as Persephone


    herself!


    "You..." Persephone was about to shout, instinctively stepping back. She identally stumbled into a


    pit and nearly fell.


    "Careful!"


    The girl quickly caught Persephone and covered her mouth.


    Persephone staggered, leaning against the tree and looking wide-eyed at the person before her.


    "Shh, please don''t shout." The girl chuckled. "I''ll take you somewhere to meet the person you want to


    see."
