His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2487

The old woman's last words echoed in her mind, followed by her devastated cries.

...

Two days later, Irene arrived at the Woods' mansion after settling the old woman's funeral.

Ever since the old woman had fallen sick, Irene had been working in the kitchen of the Woods family's mansion.

The money that the old woman earned each month was sufficient to support Irene through college. Being the grateful child she was, Irene would help with chores in the Woods' mansion whenever she had time. This was after the old woman had secured a job in the mansion.

All the servants in the mansion knew Irene and took rather good care of her.

"Irene, how's your grandma? Are you still going to work here? The butler asked about her yesterday!" a servant who knew Irene asked.

"Mrs. Flores, my grandma has passed away," Irene muttered while lowering her gaze.

"Oh, dear! Perhaps it's better that way. You will exhaust yourself, working between jobs while balancing school as you take care of your grandma!"

"I'm fine."

"Even if you are fine, your grandma wasn't! The last time I saw her, she was a living skeleton, and it was hard to watch. Now, she is free from her pain. Talk to the butler later and beg him to let you stay, or you won't be able to pay for your tuition." Mrs. Flores tapped her on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Mrs. Flores."

"You must be tired. Look at how skinny you are," Mrs. Flores said before handing her a piece of bread. "This is the leftovers from breakfast. Eat this! I feel sorry for you to have to live on your own from now on," she said, before sighing pitifully while staring at the scar on Irene's face.

Irene still felt uncomfortable whenever people stared at her scar.
