Chapter 36 Coming across Fabiana

Not knowing how long she had been walking, Lilian seemed to see someone next to the trash can not far away.

She blinked and walked towards the person.

When she got closer, she saw that it was an old woman with a hunched back. Feeling that the woman was a bit familiar, she went up and tapped her on the shoulder.

The elderly woman was startled and immediately turned her head. When she found it was Lilian, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She took out half a piece of bread hidden behind her and started to gnaw on it in Lilian's face.

Lilian stared at her, took her hand, and shook her head, signaling her to stop eating.

"Do you want some too?" The old woman looked Lilian up and down, finding that she didn't look like someone who was short of money.

Lilian put her cake on the ground and said in sign language, "Don't you remember me, Fabiana Klaud? I'm Lilian Rossum."

The old woman looked at her fingers, which, illuminating in the street lamplight, were like dancing butterflies in the wind.

After a while, she finally turned to look at Lilian's face, her aged voice shivering, "Lily...Lily?"

Lilian nodded in tears and signed, "Yes, it's me! Why did you end up here?"

"You've grown so much!" Fabiana sighed as tears streamed down.

She picked up the cane next to the trash can and walked to the stone steps to sit down.

Lilian followed her over.

Fabiana had used to be a maid in the Landau family and a close attendant of Grandpa Thomas. After Lilian came to the family, it was Fabiana who had been taking care of her.

Later, Fabiana broke her leg when she fell from the stairs while trying to save Ruby Landau. Then Grandpa Thomas let her retire early and go back to recuperate.

Lilian had always thought that she had returned to her hometown, but she met her here today.

She handed the cake to Fabiana and gestured, "Fabiana, today is my birthday. Please celebrate it with me."

Fabiana was stunned but then put a kind smile on her wrinkled face. "It's your birthday? Happy birthday, Lily! I'm sorry I don't have anything to give you."

Lilian shook her head, showing she didn't need anything.

Everyone wished her a happy birthday, but why didn't she feel happy? ...

Lilian sat quietly next to the old woman, watching her devour the cake. She wanted to buy a bottle of water, but found that her card had been frozen.

Fortunately, there was still 20 dollars of change in her Apple Pay.

She returned with a bottle of water, handed it to Fabiana, and asked her what had happened.

Fabiana told her everything. She had worked for the Landau family for a lifetime. After her retirement, her son and daughter-in-law took all her savings and bought an apartment in the city.

Before Grandpa Thomas died, the Landau family gave her a monthly allowance, and she lived well. But after he died, the family cut off her allowance, and her daughter-in-law kicked her out.

As an old woman with a lame leg, she couldn't get a job, so she could only pick up trash and sell it for a living.

Looking at the miserable old woman, Lilian had mixed feelings. Fabiana had worked for the Landau family for a lifetime, but she couldn't even afford food and clothing in the end.

How sad it was!

After Fabiana finished the cake, Lilian wanted to send her home.

But Fabiana asked worriedly, "What about you? Won't Young Master worry about you when you are not home so late?"

Lilian lowered her eyes. He couldn't even keep his promise to celebrate her birthday with her. Why would he have to worry about her then?

Seeing her loss, Fabiana stopped asking and got up with the help of her cane. "Let's go then. My place is shabby. I hope you don't mind." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

As for Francis, he had sent Julian home and put her on the couch.

He was about to leave when Julian took his arm, whining, "Can't you just stay? I'm in so much pain!"

Julian's knees and forehead were bandaged. When at the company, she had been pestering Francis, asking him to have dinner with her. Francis refused, and she ran away in anger.

As a result, she ran into the middle of the road and was almost hit by a speeding car. And she was still scared now.

"Take good care of her, Marie." Then he said to Julian, "You stay at home and rest for a few days. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

"What are you going to do so late?"

Francis glanced at his watch. Seeing it was 12:30 a.m., he froze.
