Chapter 711 His Mental Condition Is Getting Much Worse (1/2)

Jacob met with Emily's quick glance and exchanged information quietly. In that split second, her eyes formed a picture which Jacob saw in an instant and understood with full depth. That was how well they knew each other.

There was no need for more evidence to back up the fact that Ancho was a drama queen, but she was also someone who had earned Beryl's trust. Taking Beryl's feelings into consideration, her parents decided it wouldn't be in their daughter's best interest to fire the nanny in front of her.

Feigning ignorance, Emily turned to Ancho and said, ”Thank you so much for taking care of Beryl while I wasn't here. We really appreciate what you've done for our daughter, so please continue caring for her in the future as well. Jacob, I think it's time to give Ancho a raise, right?”

Jacob concurred affably, puckering his lips in thought and said, ”Yes, you are right.”

Ancho found it strange that Emily was treating her so well despite the dubious act she pulled on her earlier, but she did not refuse her generosity. ”Thank you very much, sir... And ma'am.”

Beryl, all the while, didn't know what was going on but watching her parents treat Ancho with so much kindness made her happy.

So far it would seem as though things were off to a good start today.

However, back at the house, Beryl still harboured a sense of puzzlement and incredulity, as she sat propped up in bed, lost in deep contemplation.

'Could that young lady really be my mother?

The striking resemble is hard to shake off, even her voice sounds exactly like my mother's and she seems to know a great deal about me... I wonder if everything she said to me was true?' Beryl thought in mind.

When Ancho caught Beryl in a pensive mood, she understood the wavering mind and skepticism of the little girl.

She quickly shut the door behind her and rushed towards Beryl. Kneeling down on her knees to look at Beryl in the eye, she said, ”Miss Beryl, please listen to me.”

”Ancho...” Beryl's puzzled expression quickly turned into concern.

Ancho urged her gently, ”Tell me what she has told you today so that I can help you, okay?” Of course, by 'she', Ancho was referring to Emily.

Beryl was hesitant at first, but eventually she told Ancho about everything that had happened today hoping to hear her thoughts that could perhaps shed light on her doubts.
