Chapter 121
Though Mrs. White often grumbled, she was supportive and helped Morwenna look after Keira
She had placed wooden planks over the small steps around the market concerned about the convenience of Keira’s wheelchair
Bway Kench br top to the local farmer’s market and she looked around with curiosity and shyness
While sometimes critical of Keim’s lack of worldly exposure, Mrs. White pointed out which shops were known for giving shirt weight and which offered the best deals.
With Mis. White’s watchful eye. Morwenna could afford to be less vigilant over Keira
She had keink parents contact details, just in case
After taking Keim out. Monwenna felt she should inform her parents.
Polling out her smartphone, Morwenna dialed Keira’s mother.
“Hello, ma’am, I’m Keira’s new caregiver The previous one was neglectful, so I took the liberty of discharging her early from the hospital. I get her another caregiver in the next few days
salnight I’m tied up right now. If it’s a matter of money. I can instantly transfer two million dollars to Keira’s account. Goodbye”
Stunned, Morwenna then called Keira’s father
The phone barely rang before it was answered
Morwenna started. Tm Keira’s caregiver.
She was abruptly cut off
Her little brother’s turning 10 in a month, and we’re gonna be there for the party. The famous dancer will be there too. And let me tell you, if Keir makes us look bad during the opening dance, she’ll have me to answer to!

The line went dead
Morwenne stood in silence
She was relieved Keira hadn’t heard any of that. It would have crushed her.
Yet Morwenna malized it was probably the treatment Keira was used to. How else could someone from such a privileged background be so timid and self–effacing?
Sympathy welled up in Morwenna
Despite her hard life, she felt sorry for others
Morwenna couldn’t do much to change
Keira’s parents but could at least keep her company and find her a reliable caregiver
A customer approached, and Morwenna tied on her apron, ready to fillet fish.
Whatever Morwenna did, she did with commitment
She sliced the fish precisely, the bones cracking neatly under her knife.
Keirs watched, a bit fearful yet unable to look away, impressed by Morwenna’s skill
Despite her financial struggles and worn clothes, even when doing something as mundane as filleting fish at the market, Morwenna never allowed her circumstances to diminish her.
She seemed to shine
Morwenna smiled at Keira, and at that moment, Keira felt fortunate to know her
Morwenna was genuinely kind and able to mingle with anyone except Stuart.
With Stuart, Morwenna always seemned at a loss.
He was too complex, gentle yet fierce, indifferent yet impulsive. Morwenna couldn’t figure out which side of him was real, so she kept
her distance
The morning rush soon ended.
Mrs. White and Keira seemed to get along well.
Removing her apron, Morwenna,ásked shyly. “Mrs. White, could I ask a favor? I want Keira to stay here while I leave for my tutoring job. I’ll be back to pick her up in a few hours. Is that okay?”
Morwenna needed to tutor, and while she didn’t want to leave Keira behind, the student, Claude, had a volatile temper that might
Mrs. White agreed without hesitation. “Of course, dear Keirs said she would help me with a painting, and she hasn’t finished it yet.”
Kera sat in the shop drawing She didn’t have proper paints or tools, just a piece of paper and some watercolor pens borrowed from the daughter of the lady who ran the duck roasting shop next door
Approaching. Morwenna saw Keim painting roses, a symbol of prosperity and love, beloved by all generations. The depth of skill was evident even to an untrained eye like Morweninna
