Mary had met many different types of people in the monastery.
But she had never seen such weird eyes before.
Luckily, that look lasted only a moment. The middle-aged woman just glanced at her, told her daughter to behave, and followed the other monks into the monastery.
Mary didn't think much of it.
She spent her morning sweeping up fallen leaves.
At noon, she went to the dining hall for lunch.
As soon as she arrived, some familiar monks and nuns sat next to her and said, "That Ms. Lawrence, she’s always stirring up trouble."
"How did she stir up trouble?" Mary shot back, "You've enjoyed the fruits she brings!"
The monk had a good temper and didn't get upset by Mary's words. He even gave her a piece of bread from his plate.
"Do you remember that family that insisted on having an exorcism here?"
"Of course, it was Ms. Lawrence who took me to the hospital." Mary replied proudly.
"Apparently, she felt sorry for that crazy woman, so she contacted experts from abroad to treat her for free." The monk continued, "Eat this bread while it's still warm. It won't taste as good when it's cold!"
Although Mary didn't like the monk badmouthing Erica, she didn't plan on refusing the delicious bread.
She took a big bite and said, "Helping others out of kindness is a wonderful thing. How can you call that trouble?"
At this point, Martin chimed in, "The problem is, the mother of a patient at the hospital heard about this and now she's brought her daughter here, insisting we also treat her for free! What are we supposed to do?"
Mary immediately thought of the woman who had stared at her strangely earlier.
"The Prior is not in the monastery these days, and we can't contact Ms. Lawrence. We can only ask them to go back first and wait for the Prior to contact Ms. Lawrence when he returns." Martin continued.
Mary was still young and didn't understand the complexities of the world.
