She was truly disgusted by this inhumane thing! Neo, o n the other hand, called out behind the old lady "Ceci-Cecilia...you..."
He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. As he walked out of the city hall, he seemed to be as old as a seventy years old man. His wife had left him. In the future, he would be left all alone at home, then who would cook for him? Who would take care of him? His children? All of his sons did not know how to take care of others, and their wives certainly would not take care of him. What about his daughters? Was it not highly improper to have his daughters serve him s o closely?
It was best to have his partner, but she did not even turn her head around and take another glance at him. At that moment, Neo unexpectedly was covered in tears. "Cecilia...don't leave."
The old lady actually heard Neo's cry. However, what has that got to do with her? They were already divorced. She would never be anybody's nanny for free anymore and be scolded by others. From then onwards, she would be paid to be a nanny, maid, and even cleaning the toilet.
After she had returned to her hotel, the old lady took her bag with her, and then she started to look for a job. However, job hunting was not as simple as she
thought. As all her hair had turned white from working hard in the Dixon family for the past ten years, many families who were hiring did not want her. However, the old lady also did not feel dejected. She had first found a place to stay. After she had settled in, she then went out to look for a job every day. After half a month since she had settled in, the old lady met her niece, whom she had not met for almost more than a decade when she went to look for a job at a restaurant again.
When the aunt and her niece met each other, both of them hugged each other and bawled their eyes out.
"Hana, you ran away from home when you were sixteen that year. I have been searching for you for a very long time. Where have you been? I have not seen you for more than twenty years, my child." The old lady looked at her niece and cried in sorrow.
The old lady was the second aunt to Hana. She was eight years younger than Hana’s mother and was sixteen years older than Hana. That year when Hana was backed into a dead-end by her father and stepmother, the old lady had also just lost her husband and her child was not even ten years old yet. Life had been incomparably difficult for her, so she did not have time to care for her niece.
Later on, she heard that Hana was forced to go out and work when she was just sixteen years old. From then onwards, the people in the rural area, as well as the old lady, had never seen Hana again. More than twenty years had passed in a blink of an eye since
then.
When she saw her own niece again, the old lady suddenly felt like she finally had someone to rely on.
Sure enough, Hana cried. "Aunt Cecilia, I'm here and I will certainly never let you live like that again in the future. Aunt Cecilia, my mother had passed away when I was young. It was you who hugged me to sleep when I was still very little. At that time, you were not married yet and was only eighteen years old. You have loved me more than my mother, so I will love you from now on. I will earn more money to pay for your grandson’s tuition.”
"Oh, Hana, we will both depend on each other to survive from now on."
"Mm-hmm!”
Hana took her aunt to her house. Although Hana's house was very small, it was enough to let her aunt stay there as well. They have lived quite well together. The old lady cleaned up at home. Hana had been working five jobs from dawn to dusk every day. She felt very happy to be able to have a bite of a hot meal once she returned home.
However, such a happy life only lasted a month. One day, a few strangers suddenly barged into their house. There were both women and men among them, and they all were dressed very glamorously. They looked like decent people at a glance. The group of people barged into the house and saw the old lady. He shouted, "You’re a habitual thief! Let’s see where else
you can hide!"
