Chapter 981 Thanks To Sally (1/2)

What he said was a play on words as it had a double meaning.

He was smart and often let his actions speak for him. Gentleness and silence was his usual demeanor and he often spoke with few words.

Looking at him, Carla suddenly burst into laughter. She wiped away her tears and wrapped her arms around his neck. ”All right, you're so unique and irreplaceable. I could never find anyone else like you.

My mother is going to Wang Village to comply to an etiquette ritual of Yu Sea City. I want to go there and see it for myself...”

Terence nodded and said, ”Okay, I'll go with you.”

Although he wanted to tell Carla that they really couldn't do anything to help her mother, he decided not to as he knew that no matter what he said, Carla would still want to go.

However when they finally arrived at Wang Village, they realized that they were already too late.

Andrea had left long before dawn to perform the etiquette ritual. Before Carla could even get there, Andrea had already gone halfway.

”Mom! Mom!”

”Carla, don't get too close.”

Terence grabbed Carla's hand and pulled her back into his arms. ”It's useless for you to go after her. Your grandmother gave her this punishment for a reason. She can use this opportunity to atone for her sins.”

Nobody could help her and nobody could do it for her.

Carla watched Andrea walk up step by step. Even though she was exhausted, she didn't give up.

Then Carla looked at the tall and white palace at the top of the steps. She figured that her grandmother must be somewhere in the palace.

She wondered if the queen would even be concerned or bothered if she saw her daughter like this. She wondered if her grandmother was truly heartless.

At this moment, on the top of the mountain.

Someone else was just as worried about Andrea as Carla.

Arthur stood inside the tall tower and looked down at Andrea, who was coming up step by step. His eyes were filled with tears.

No one could understand the pain he was feeling in his heart as a father.

He wanted to take his daughter's pain and make it his own. He hadn't seen her in over 30 years and this was his first time seeing her again since then—being tortured.
