Billionaire’s Reborn Baby

Billionaire’s Reborn Baby Chapter 588

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Donna brought Emily to find Kason’s neighbor, ready to pay for the two apples, but she did not know that it got dark here early.

By the time she and Emily arrived, there was only a ray of afterglow shining on the earth, emitting the last ray of light.

Kamron was worried about their safety, so he arranged for bodyguard Tom to bring them there. They did not meet anyone along the way, but the ground was covered with white stones. During the day, they looked like a layer of pearls shone brightly from afar. At night when there were only stars and white light, if there were lanterns placed at the door, they would look like shiny beads from afar.

Donna noticed that there was a door plate on the garden-like ground at the door, but the door plate was very short with the length of the calf, and there was a flower engraved on the top of the small wooden plate.

She took the opportunity to look at the courtyard next door. There was a swallow engraved on the door plate.

Emily happened to be looking at the neighboring courtyard. The wooden door was closed, and she remembered seeing a man sitting on the wheelchair reading in the morning. She thought that he should be reading in the room now.

Bodyguard Tom had already knocked on the door of the Goddess and the High Priest.

He knocked twice.

He took a step back and stood beside Donna and Emily.

Not long after, a voice came from the door, asking, “Who is it?”

It was a maid.

Donna said loudly, “Hello, my daughter ate the apples in your yard today. We want to thank you in person. If it is inconvenient, we can come back tomorrow.”

There was a soft inquiry from inside, and soon after, the door opened.

A black-haired maid opened the door and peeked at Donna and Emily with curiosity before gesturing for them to enter.

Seeing that she was young, but her appearance was ordinary with tan skin, Emily timidly called her, “Hello, elder sister.”

The maid was stunned by her calling for a long time because Emily looked about the same age as her. Why did Emily think that she was older?

Donna smiled apologetically at the maid.

The maid said nothing but gestured them to go in.

This courtyard was somewhat different from other places. It was filled with fruit trees, and only a small path was spread out from the fruit trees. Lit lanterns were hanging at the doors of several rooms in front of them. The fiery red candlelight shone through the red paper of the lanterns, reflecting the fruit trees and Emily’s face.

She looked around and whispered to Donna, “Mom, it seems like an orchard.”

Then, she saw a girl standing under an apple tree. The girl had long white hair that draped over her shoulders. She was only wearing a pair of white socks and a pair of shoes was on the side. It seemed that she did not like wearing shoes.

The maid led Emily and Donna here and left.

The girl turned around. Donna sized her up and smiled at her, saying, “Little girl, did you give Emily the apples? We are here today to thank you.”

The girl looked at her quietly.

Donna found that her eyes were a little scary if you looked at her for a long time.

It was hard to describe, but Donna felt a little scared after being stared at by her. She didn’t look like an ordinary child at all. That pair of eyes looked like…

The sound of footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a series of sounds like a cane landing on the ground, extremely rhythmic.

“Don’t look into her eyes.” Came from an old voice.

Donna quickly turned to look at the source of the sound. A white-haired old lady walked out with a cane. The cane was completely white, like a jade cane. However, the sound of its landing was not the crisp sound of jade.

A man was standing next to her. He was probably injured. He had an arm hung around his neck, and his face was very cold. He glanced over expressionlessly. When he saw Emily, he paused slightly, then lowered his head and stood next to the old lady.

“Hello, sorry to disturb you. I…” Donna pulled Emily to the old lady. Before she could finish speaking, the old lady reached out to stop her from speaking.

“I heard about what happened this morning. Don’t mention it.” The old lady looked at the Goddess. “She has no playmates since she was young. Not many people can get close to her. Is your daughter alright?” When she said the last sentence, she had already turned to Emily and sized Emily up slightly.

When Donna heard this, she got nervous. “No, she is fine. So if she ate that apple, would something happen?”

The old lady smiled, “Yes.” She gestured to Donna, “Come in and sit.”

Before Donna entered, bodyguard Tom quickly whispered in her ear, “That old lady is the High Priest.”

What was a High Priest?

Donna did not know that for the time being, so she just regarded it as a relatively high position, and when she brought Emily in, she became more cautious.

Above the three steps was a long corridor made of white jade. Further ahead was a row of rooms. Because the door was exactly the same, Donna was completely unable to tell each one’s function, but she followed behind the old lady. The man with his arm hanging pushed open the door and lit a lamp with his only arm. Then, he quietly stood behind the door, like a shadow.

Emily looked at him strangely. He was wearing white clothes, but when he stood behind the door, it was as if he had blended into the darkness. No one could even sense his presence.

The Goddess, dressed in white socks, had already quietly stood beside the old lady. Donna noticed that the Goddess had seldom blinked her eyes. Just as Donna wanted to take a closer look, she suddenly remembered the old lady’s advice. She immediately turned her gaze away and looked elsewhere.

Emily, on the other hand, looked at the Goddess and smiled at her.

The Goddess had no expression. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Usually, those who come to look for her have a request. Why are you here?” The old lady asked.

“What?” Donna was stunned for a moment before saying with a smile, “No, my daughter ate two apples in your courtyard. Today, she pulled me over to pay for these two apples. I was worried that you would not accept it, so I made a small dessert.”

Bodyguard Tom brought up the stuff in his hands. It was a portion of corn cheese. There were raw materials in the place where they lived, but because making a fire was more troublesome, and Donna was not in good health to cook stir-fried vegetables, so she made an apple salad this afternoon. And her door was covered with vegetables. She picked some fresh vegetables and found some sauce. Fortunately, the attempt was successful, and everyone liked it very much.

Before she came out, she had also stewed sugar pears. The fire was born by Armando who went to Tibet and came back good at making the fire. The fire to cook the dishes this afternoon was all controlled by him.

The sugar pears were boiled by soft fire. In this season, it was just the right time to clear the heat. Donna did not cook much, and everyone had finished drinking it. Originally, she had planned to bring some with her. But she had underestimated Kamron’s love for sweets. She planned to cook twenty servings next time.

The old lady looked at the corn-cheese on the table and looked at the Goddess beside her with a questioning gaze. “Do you want some?” She asked.

The Goddess did not speak.

The old lady understood her expression and said to Donna, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Donna stood up and said, “We just came here to thank you. No intention to bother you. Then we… will leave.”

Before she came, she heard from Kamron that there was no need for money here, nor was there any money. Everyone used goods to exchange for goods. For example, using fish to change clothes, or using a cloth to exchange for rice and meat, so she gave up the idea of giving money.

Before Emily walked out of the door, she quietly walked in front of the Goddess and gave her a lollipop that tasted like strawberries. This was brought from the bag and had not been soaked in water.

The Goddess looked down at the lollipop in her hand expressionlessly.

Emily thought that she didn’t know how to eat it, so Emily reached out to take it, took off the sugar coat, and handed it to her. “Put it in your mouth.”

Just as the Goddess was about to put it in her mouth, the High Priest reached out to take the lollipop and thanked Donna and Emily.

Donna probably understood that the High Priest was worried that the lollipop was poisonous, so she didn’t dare to give it to the Goddess.

“Alright, sorry to disturb you. We’ll be leaving.” Donna pulled Emily away.

“Remember to eat it. It’s very sweet.” Emily shouted at the Goddess as she walked.

After the door was closed, the High Priest put the lollipop on the table, and the attendant behind the door with an arm walked out, took a bowl and filled it with water, and put the lollipop in it. A moment later, he took out the silver needle and put it in the bowl to check.

The silver needle did not change color.

Only then did the High Priest give the lollipop to the Goddess.

The attendant checked the corn cheese on the table again, and it did not change color.

The Goddess looked at the lollipop and didn’t move. After a long time, she looked up at the High Priest.

“You said she would take Mr. Baron away?” The High Priest looked into her eyes, and a hint of surprise appeared on her aged face.. “That little girl looks like a child. How come she was so capable?”
