Chapter 1288

Ever since Joan got there, she noticed that Stella’s gaze was fixed on a certain point, and she hardly ever moved

her eyes, regardless of what she said.

It was a clear sign that she was blind.

“Yes,” Stella replied. “My eyes were injured, and I got snow blindness a while ago. The doctor said I should get

better in a few months, but my eyes show no signs of getting better yet. I might stay blind for a long time, so I’d like

to ask if you’d be willing to come and take care of me for a while. I’ll pay you, of course, so don’t worry about

that.”

Joan considered her offer for a long time, but in the end,

she refused.

“I know you mean well, Madam, and I know that we’ve always gotten along very well in the past, but I can’t work

with you in good conscience anymore…”

“I understand,” Stella sighed, then added regretfully, “I was only asking, but since you’re not willing to do it, just

think of it as coming out to meet an old friend.”

Joan sighed in relief, “Thank you, Madam. Thank you for

not making it harder for me.”

No matter how Joan looked at it, she still felt that what she did was a betrayal to Weston Ford, her own employer. It

was a matter that had weighed heavily on her heart the whole time, so much that it was almost unbearable for

her.

After all, Weston had always treated her kindly, yet she still chose to help Stella in the end.

During her time working in Stardust Mansion, she could tell that Weston was terrifyingly possessive of Stella.

But even though he did not love her properly, he still loved her very much nonetheless.

Since Joan had refused her offer, Stella had no choice but

to find someone else to care for her.

Roger was too worried to leave her now, so he postponed his return trip to Compassvale.

To their surprise, a few days later, Joan contacted Stella herself and told her that she would be glad to work with

her and take care of her again.

Stella was initially slightly baffled by Joan’s sudden

change of heart, but Joan gave her a reasonable explanation. She told her that since Weston’s condition.

was uncertain now, even if he did wake up, he would probably never know that Joan was working with Stella again.

After all, they had not seen each other in a long time, so perhaps Weston might even have forgiven her and let go

of any grievances between them.

Furthermore, Joan’s son was going to college soon, so she desperately needed some money. She could not possibly

refuse Stella since she was offering to pay her a

hefty salary.

And so Stella thought nothing more of it and just agreed

to let Joan take care of her.

Now that there was someone he trusted by Stella’s side, Roger was finally relieved. He packed up his things the

very next day to return to Compassvale. He also decided to take Elias and Emma along with him so Marcus Garcia

could see them again since the old man had missed the two children very much.

This would be the first time Elias and Emma would be separated from their mother for so long, ever since they

were born. However, since Stella was blind now, she could not possibly take care of them, so she had to let Roger

take them back with him to Compassvale.

Stella now lived in a large apartment with Joan.

As she was taking care of Stella, Joan suddenly said, ” Madam, my son is going to college soon, and he’s got no

place to stay. Would you mind if he comes over and stays

here for a while?”

Stella knew what Joan was trying to ask her, and she

frowned.

She was quite reluctant to let Joan’s son live with them. He was an adult, after all, seeing that he was already a

college student. Stella was not comfortable with the thought of sharing her house with a man.

Besides, she had no idea what Joan’s son was like. Even though she might have heard from her that he was a good

son, she still had some reservations because mothers

were always biased in thinking that their children were better than they actually were. 1

And so she tactfully expressed her refusal.

“If it had been your daughter, I would’ve had no

objections. In fact, I would’ve loved to have a companion

))

Joan understood, but she still tried to persuade her,

saying, “I know it might not be such a good idea since

he’s a man, but…”

Her voice suddenly turned a little weak and helpless when she added, “He’s not in the best health. I worry that he

might affect his friends if he stays in the dorm, but if he rents his own place outside of campus, he’d be staying on

his own, and that worries me too, so…”

Stella, who was always soft–hearted when people were in need, could not help but concede to Joan when she heard

her feeble and helpless voice. 1

“If you’re sure we can get along, then you can bring him over.”
