Jasmine hesitated for a bit before walking out.
Her eyes were swollen, and she barely maintained her composure.
The butler’s heart broke when he saw the disheveled state of his young lady. He immediately scrutinized her with concern, walking around her in circles. After he was confident that she was unharmed, he felt relieved.
“Miss, thank God you’re fine. Let’s not waste time on this man any longer.”
Jasmine glared at Elspeth viciously before turning around and fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.
“Let’s go.”
“All right.” the butler nodded obediently and followed her out.
After the two annoyances left, Elspeth walked towards the filthy woman and spoke softly, “Mrs. Joneson, why don’t you sit down?”
Yet, they waited and waited, but it seemed as though the woman had no intentions to speak, let alone sit down.
“Mrs. Joneson, are you having trouble hearing?”
Regardless, judging by the state of this poor woman, she had obviously suffered a long time. This meant her hearing was also damaged, which was to be expected.
The longer Elspeth looked at this woman, the more upset and frustrated she felt.
If this woman were really her biological mother, then she would be distressed by the suffering she had experienced over the years.
She was also the daughter of the Jonesons. Yet, Helen was showered with all the love at home while she was forced to suffer outside.
What a joke.
Elspeth stretched out her hand and tried to help the woman sit on the couch, but the woman immediately fought her off.
“It’s okay, just sit down. Don’t worry.”
Elspeth thought she was just terrified, but the woman suddenly whispered, “I’m too dirty; I haven’t showered.”
It turned out that she was worried that the filth on her body would dirty the couch.
Elspeth couldn’t help but feel more certain that this woman in front of her might really be her biological mother. The self-deprecating tone and her defensiveness didn’t seem to be an act. Instead, she oozed fear and trepidation with every move.
“It’s all right, just sit and rest for a while. I’ll arrange a bath for you later.”
The woman paused for a second, then suggested reluctantly, “Why don’t I shower now? Please prepare a set of clothes for me…”
“Sure.” Elspeth was a professional designer. So, she only needed a few good looks to determine what size clothes the woman wore.
The woman was slender and looked like her.
Then, Elspeth led the woman to the bathroom and brought out a set of clothes her size. Elspeth even placed them on the stool next to the woman thoughtfully.
“You can clean yourself up here. Call me if you need me.”
The woman nodded and said tremulously, “Thank you, little girl. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
When the woman turned around, Elspeth quietly stretched out her fingers and pulled a single strand of hair off her shoulder.
Elspeth quickly pulled her hand away and went to find Callum.
“How was it?” Callum asked her, looking at her solemn expression.
“I think she might actually be my biological mother,” Elspeth said, lifting the strand of hair in her hand. “I got this from her body. So, let’s get to the bottom of this quickly and wait for the DNA test results.”
Callum admired her meticulous nature as he asked, “How about letting her live at the Winthrop Residence for the moment?”
If this woman were indeed her biological mother, allowing her to live elsewhere would be horrible. Besides, she was more likely to be bullied by people like Arthur.
Elspeth had considered the consequences of these actions, but before they came to a conclusion, she had decided that the safest choice she could make was to let that woman stay with her momentarily.
“Is that okay?”
Callum nodded. “Of course. If she’s your mother, then she’s my mother. So, it won’t be odd for her to live with us.”
Elspeth felt a gush of warmth for his thoughtfulness, and she murmured bashfully, “Thank you, Callum.”
“Don’t thank me, say I love you instead.”
She didn’t think that he still had a mind to flirt with her right now. So, she couldn’t help but flush crimson as she rewarded him with a light punch.
The woman took a very quick shower, probably due to uneasiness.
When she walked over wearing Elspeth’s clothes, Elspeth stood stock still as she inhaled sharply to swallow her distress.
Besides the apparent age difference, this woman looked exactly like her!
The women peused for e second, then suggested reluctently, “Why don’t I shower now? Pleese prepere e set of clothes for me…”
