S31 14. Stay Alert


    Kara smiled wryly. “She had a valid reason.”


    “But | still don''t like her. You have to be more careful, Sister-in-Law. Don’t be fooled by her friendliness. And at the orphanage,


    don''t


    separate yourself from me. | will protect you from anyone.”


    Karaughed amusedly. “I''m very lucky to have a sister-inw as reliable as you.”


    “Tell me thatter, after my duty as a bodyguard is sessful. Now let''s see what their ns are. Stay alert, okay?”


    Kara nodded slightly. “Okay.”


    Upon arrival at the orphanage, Kara and Barbara were not greeted by anyone. All the children stand around Sophia. They


    scrambled to hug the woman first.


    “I think | know why Grandma asked us here.” Barbara leaned towards


    Kara.


    “What?” Kara replied with the same volume.


    “So that Sophia can show off. Look. She must feel the greatest, the most generous, the mostpassionate.”


    “Isn''t this view very beautiful?” Diana suddenly stood beside them. Barbara spontaneously straightened up.


    “Yes, Grandma.” She forced a smile.


    “You know what? Children have pure souls. They tend to feel safe andfortable around people with clean hearts.”


    The corners of Barbara''s lips twitched. “Do you mean that Sophia has


    a clean heart?”

    The curve of Diana''s lips wavered slightly at that doubt. “Yes. Look how happy the children here are to meet Sophie. That girl is


    like a savior angel to them.”


    Barbara almost snorted. However, not wanting to offend Diana, she shut her mouth tightly and nodded.


    Meanwhile, Kara smiled broadly. Her warmth seemed genuine. “Yes, Sophia is a soft-hearted woman. It''s natural that children


    like her.”


    However, Diana didn’t like thepliment. She thought Kara''s


    confession was fake.


    “Do you like children too?” Diana raised her eyebrows.


    Kara widened her eyes, not expecting the question. However, after a blink, her lips curved beautifully again.


    “Yeah, they''re adorable, especially the twins.”


    “Then you don’t mind helping us prepare for the end of year party, right?”


    “You want to hold a party here?” Barbara felt called.


    Diana nodded. “I want to hold a fireworks party to wee the New Year. Therefore, | need your help to take care of several


    things.”


    “That sounds fun.” Barbara''s spirit began to burn. “What do we need


    to do?”


    The curve of Diana’s lips turned nted.


    “Sophia has bought gifts for the children. Clothes, bags, shoes. There are trumpets and conical hats too. But they haven''t been


    wrapped yet. | want to match the size to each child. But these old eyes are toozy


    to read the data.”


    Barbara snapped her fingers. “That''s easy, Grandma. We can do it.”

    Diana''s index finger suddenly straightened. “That''s your job, | have another duty for your sister-inw.”


    Kara and Barbara nced at each other.


    “What''s my job, Mrs. Johnson?”


    Unexpectedly, Diana pulled Kara''s arm through a door. Barbara followed.


    “You know this ce?” Diana let go of Kara and swung her hand. towards the open-roofed hall.


    “Kids like to y here. But since the floor is covered with snow, | forbid them. I''m afraid the floor will be slippery. So, can you


    shovel


    the snow out?”


    While Kara''s eyebrows pulled together, Barbara gasped. “You want Kara to clean this hall? Why not just send the men?”


    Diana waved her hand. “I saw them having fun earlier. | didn’t want to disturb them. They are hard workers. They rarely get time


    to rx like


    that.”


    Diana''s eyes shifted to Kara. “Besides, you don’t mind, right? Once in a while, helping others is necessary.


    Kara''s smilepletely disappeared. Her chest was a little tight. However, before she had time to respond, Barbara snapped,


    “Then what is Sophia''s job? Why doesn''t she shovel the snow?”


    Diana shook her head swiftly. “She has bought all the gifts. Does it make sense if | ask her to shovel the snow?”


    Before Barbara could argue, the old woman patted Kara''s arm. “Now get to work. The tools are over there, And you...."


    Diana grabbed Barbara''s arm. “Let''s start wrapping the presents. We still need to put the name tags on the hats.”

    “Wait. Kara...”


    Diana hurriedly dragged Barbara out of the ce. Kara smiled seeing her sister-inw reaching out her hand.


    “I''m fine. Do your job.”


    Barbara frowned in resignation. Even after disappearing behind the door, she still wore an unwilling expression.


    Slowly, the curve of Kara''s lips turned t. While observing the thinyer of snow, she let out a faint sigh.


    “There''s no point inining, right?” she muttered with a sad look.


    After one breath, she went to take the tools. She mustplete the


    task before the twins or Frank looked for her.


    While carrying out her duties, Barbara asionally looked at Kara. She felt sorry to see her sister-inw cleaning such a big


    ce alone. In her heart, she grumbled, why couldn''t the orphanage staff do it?


    “Hi, is there anything | could help?”


    Sophia approache he\iable

    Diana wrinkled the bridge of her nose. “That''s impossible. Now, are you thirsty or hungry? You must be tired of serving them.”


    Sophia shook her head sweetly. “No, Grandma. I''m actually happy.”


    Barbara was starting to get fed up. It felt like she wanted to peel the mask off Sophia''s face.


    “By the way, where''s Kara?” Sophia looked around.

    “Grandma made her shovel the snow in the hall. What a fair division ofbor,” Barbara could no longer hold back her sarcasm.


    “What?” Sophia turned to face the window. Seeing that Kara had cleared a quarter of the hall, she sighed in disbelief. “Jeez,


    Grandma. Why asked her to clean such a big room by herself? I''ll help her.”


    Diana quickly caught Sophia''s arm. “No need, Sophie. You''ve done your part well. Now sit here.”


    “But Kara-"


    “She’s fine. She said she was actually happy to make a big


    contribution to this orphanage.” Diana pulled Sophia to the empty


    chair next to her.


    Sophia seemed to object. “But, Grandma, | think the task is too hard to do alone. Moreover, the weather is colder today.”


    Diana shook her head firmly. “You''re too kind, Sophie. Once in a while, just think for yourself. But if you insist to help, wrap this.


    My hands are starting to get tired.”


    Diana patted Sophia''s shoulder, as if nailing her to her chair. Sophia couldn''t help but obey.


    “Okay, but where are you going Grandma?”


    “I want to stretch my old muscles for a moment. Maybe brewing some tea can help me rx.”


    “Do | need to do it?"


    Sophia put both hands on the chair handle, ready to get up. However, Diana shook her head firmly.


    “Stay where you are. Apany Barbara. She''ll be bored if she wraps this many gifts alone.”
