- Chapter 176 - First Time Meeting the Family (2/4)
This scene happened to be seen by Adele, who was carrying food. She didn’t think much of it and also walked to Ciel’s leg, squatted down, and handed the hot baked potato in her hand to Tara, instructing, “It’s a little hot. Eat slowly.”
Seeing Adele’s practiced movements, Ciel asked curiously, “Do you often take care of others, Adele?”
“Huh? Me?”
Adele looked up at Ciel and shook her head. “No, but I have plenty of experience being taken care of. You could say… learned medicine from being sick for a long time?”
Ciel: “…”
Right. Ciel remembered Uris telling her that when Uris and Adele were in the orphanage together, Adele was the most mischievous one. It seemed only after Uris was chosen by the Church of the Savior Goddess did Adele start to change and study hard.
Then her experience of being taken care of was indeed quite extensive.
“Is there a vacant ward? Let her stay here for a few days to recover.”
Ciel lowered her head, looked at Tara, and said kindly, “You stay here with Sister Adele for a few days… Let go.”
“O-Okay…”
Tara quickly let go. After standing up, she stood obediently behind Adele, feeling a little uneasy.
She wanted to become a divine servant of the Mother Goddess using this clever method… Was she seen through by the Mother Goddess…
Indeed, it’s not that easy to become a divine servant…
“There are many places to stay here. Yes, let’s observe for two days first.”
Adele got up, looked back at the little one behind her whose head barely reached below her chest. She placed her hand on her head and rubbed it. She handed her the baked potato in her hand and smiled:
“Saying it to Sister Ciel is useless. I’ll take you to find Sister Avena another day. She’s richer.”
Insolent! Little brat! Do you know who I am? The Archbishop of the Divine Advent Church! Who allowed you to put your hand on my head!
Tara almost went ballistic, but the moment she saw the food, her emotions calmed down. She just lowered her head, took the potato the other party handed her, and began devouring it.
Very good. You have offset a sin, but there won’t be a next time… Chew, chew, chew…
The reception nurse at the front desk had also bought the food. Adele casually handed the little girl to the nurse, asking her to take her to rest.
After seeing Tara being taken away, Adele looked at Ciel before her and asked, “Oh, right, Ciel, did you come to see me for something?”
The “child” had just left, and Adele seemed to have forgotten why Ciel had come. Her memory was slightly worse than a fish’s.
“Yes, I did come to see you for something,”
Ciel walked to the sofa and sat down, saying, “Do you remember what I told you just now?”
“I remember,”
Adele sat opposite Ciel and nodded. “Let that little girl stay here for a few days.”
“Before that.”
Ciel shook her head.
“…I have extensive experience being taken care of?”
Adele’s tone began to become uncertain.
Ciel: “…”
She had been at Adele’s for less than 30 minutes, and Ciel felt the number of times she had been left speechless had exceeded the total of the past week.
She really didn’t know whether to say she had a good memory or a bad memory.
“The matter of Avena’s mine.” Ciel reminded her.
“Oh oh oh,”
Adele nodded repeatedly. “I remember.”
Ciel no longer beat around the bush. After clearly stating the dangers of remaining in Berren City one by one, she looked at Adele and asked:
“So, I suggest you come with us to Ansu City. It will be safer there… What do you think?”
“Ansu City…”
Adele looked up, thought for a moment looking at the ceiling, then looked back at Ciel opposite her, her expression somewhat conflicted.
It seemed Adele was hesitant about whether to go.
“Is there anything you’re worried about? Can you tell me about it?”
Ciel asked directly.
If there’s a problem, just solve it. Ciel had always been this way.
“My sister might have to stay in Berren City for a long time… I’m a little worried about her safety.”
Adele said softly.
Uris?
Ciel remembered that Uris originally came to Berren City chasing after a church messenger who had defected with a potion.
That “Avenger” potion was obtained by Ciel, and she thus gained her first “Avenger” save file. That bottle of potion was later returned, exchanged for considerable gains.
Later, it was likely the dehydration syndrome that kept her here. Not long after the dehydration syndrome was resolved, the Deton Manor cult sacrifice incident broke out… She indeed seemed unable to leave.
However, based on Ciel’s few interactions with Uris, she knew she wasn’t an unreasonable person. So she looked at Adele and said:
“If you really can’t decide, go discuss it with your sister. There’s no rush.”
Ciel wasn’t too insistent either. If necessary, she could also schedule a meeting with Uris…
Forget it. She was afraid of being caught as a saintess.
Uris was also quite resilient. She almost always survived until the end. Even if Adele decided to stay with Uris in the end, there wouldn’t be any danger.
When Uris finished dealing with things here and set off back to the Ansu Holy See, Adele would also follow, just a little later.
“Okay, thank you, Ciel.”
Adele nodded, slightly relieved.
On one side were her good friends, on the other side were her family. Adele truly found it a little difficult to part with either side. Fortunately, Ciel hadn’t given her a multiple-choice question.
“I have some things to do later. I’ll go talk to that little girl and then leave,”
Ciel got up and said to Adele, “If you need anything, just come to Manor No. 15 to find me.”
After saying goodbye to Adele, Ciel asked the nurse for Tara’s location and was led to a treatment room.
Opening the door, Ciel saw Tara being surrounded by two nurses. They were rubbing Tara’s head and cheeks with smiles, praising her for being cute and obedient, while Tara was eating the food before her with a suppressed expression.
Upon seeing Ciel enter, Tara immediately put down her knife and fork, stood up directly, and said, “Lord Ciel…”
The two nurses quickly left the ward. Ciel casually closed the door and walked to Tara’s side.
There was still some sauce stuck to the corner of Tara’s mouth. She lowered her head and quietly licked it off with her tongue.
Ciel looked at Tara before her and said in a low voice, “You stay here and act according to circumstances. At the right time, I will have you be my personal maid and go to Ansu City with me, understood?”
Personal…
Personal personal personal…
Personal maid!!!
Tara’s mind almost exploded. She quickly buried her head even deeper, saying humbly, “Your humble servant will definitely complete this task…”
Saying this, Tara’s lips were trembling slightly. In her excitement, her eyes were a little red.
What incredible luck did she have? Just by following the divine servant’s summon and coming to Berren City, she found the divine servant and the Mother Goddess’s human form not long after.
After waiting for some time, just when she thought she was going to die in that rental house, the Mother Goddess descended to her side again, bringing her life and hope…
Years of research and prayer, including all the waiting before, all the tests, were all worth it!
Her loyalty! Was recognized by the Mother Goddess!
Only after Ciel left did Tara, who was still standing in place, feel as if she was in the clouds, unable to believe this was reality.
Perhaps because she was still suffering from low blood sugar and had not yet recovered, coupled with this intense emotional shock, a wave of dizziness struck Tara’s mind. She fell backward and fainted onto the hospital bed.
