Chapter 136 When You Heard My Call for Help, You Came Running
"Ms. Burton, you''ve seen the notification, right?" Mrs. Williams, who taught math in ss C, walked
over and asked.
Adeline nodded and said, "I didn''t expect to have home visits this year."
Speaking of home visits, it wasn''t just the students who felt nervous and pressured. Parents found it
troublesome, and teachers themselves weren''t enthusiastic about it either.
After all, it meant going door-to-door for visits.
Mrs. Williams handed her a list and said, "The principal''s thought is for the two of us to split the
visits evenly. I came to discuss with you, to see which families you''ll be visiting."
Adeline nced at the addresses on the list, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mrs. Williams, how
about us do the home visits together? You see, the school now advocates that teachers shouldn''t
ept gifts from parents. If the two of us go together, we can be witnesses for each other. Besides,
some students live far away, and walking at night can be dangerous. If we go together, we can look
out for each other on the way."
Mrs. Williams looked troubled and said, "Ms. Burton, if we split it up, it''s about 20 households each.
But if we go together, it''s 45 households."
"It''s exhausting only by thinking about it."
Mrs. Williams wasn''t too enthusiastic.
She pulled out a chair and sat down, absentmindedly rubbing her belly, looking troubled, and
continued, "And you see, I''m ate-age second-time mother. I''ve just gotten pregnant recently, and I
can''t withstand so much hassle."
Adeline was surprised and asked, "Mrs. Williams, you''re pregnant?"
Mrs. Williams was already 42 years old.
She blushed slightly and nodded, "Well, you know, at my age, having a second child is tiring..."
"Alright, I understand. Mrs. Williams, since you''re not feeling well, you can choose to visit the
families nearby, and I''ll take care of the rest."
"But... Is that okay?" Mrs. Williams was surprised and delighted.
"No problem. I have a driver at home. I''ll have the driver take me. It won''t be a hassle," Adeline
smiled and looked at Mrs. Williams''s belly.
Mrs. Williams touched her belly and said, "Thank you, Ms. Burton. After the baby is born, I''ll treat
you to something delicious."
"Sure."
Adeline smiled and agreed, then made a simple n for visiting the students'' addresses.
When it was time to leave work, Curtis had somethinge up, so he had Sara pick Adeline up
instead.
On the way, Adeline curiously asked Sara, "Do you have any special self-defense tools?"
"I don''t need them. I can knock down three men with one punch. My record is taking down 25 men
in 15 minutes. Ordinary people can''t get close to me, so I don''t need those things."
Adeline was speechless.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
"Alright."
After a moment of silence, Sara nced at Adeline and asked, "Mrs. Riley, are you asking if I have
any self-defense products that I can give you?"
Adeline nodded and said, "Yes. I was wondering if you have any high-tech gadgets or pepper
sprays for self-defense."
"I do." Sara reached under the passenger seat, took out a toolbox, and handed it to Adeline, "We
often use these tools during missions."
Adeline opened the box and saw some brooches, earrings, and other small essories, her face
filled with confusion.
Sara exined, "The brooch is a pinhole camera, and the earrings are listening devices."
"Listening devices?"
"Yes, usually when we''re on a mission, we can pretend to remove the earrings and leave them with
the other party to eavesdrop on their information if needed."
Adeline was amazed, feeling like she had just opened up a whole new world.
After exining the functions of several tools in a row, Sara suddenly fell silent.
She probably realized she had said too much.
Adeline was also smart enough not to ask about Sara''s usual missions.
After returning to the apartment and freshening up, Adeline asked Sara to apany her for the
home visits.
She eagerly put on themunication earpiece, feeling excited as if she was involved in some
underground intelligence work.
"Sara, Sara, put this onter. We''ll stay in constantmunication. When you hear my call for help,
youe running to save me!"
Sara looked at Adeline, almost wanting to tell her that she was going a bit overboard with all the
high-end gadgets on her.
That was a home visit, not a covert operation.
Moreover, she had never carried all of these tools on her during a mission.
However, she still responded loudly, "Sure."
Soon, Sara dropped Adeline off at the doorstep of the student''s home she was going to visit.
