Chapter 7 She Cart Recall Her Savior
keep it a secret.
“silly girl. Living with wealthy parents in the big city is how you’ll live comfortably. You can go to college, find a good job, and chase your dreams there. If you stay with me, all you’ll do is scavenge every day. What future is there in that?” Margaret chuckled.
Demi still said nothing
When she saw her granddaughter’s unhappy expression, Margaret comforted her, “If you really missus, study hard and eam a lot of money in the future. Then, you can bring me and Timmy to your side.”
Demi blanked, then she smiled. “You’re right, Grandma.”
That was right—she could make money Then, she could give Margaret and Timothy the best life possible
And if all else failed, she could sell a few of her treasures.
Still, the questioned whether the people of this era could even recognize the value of the treasures she had stored in her spatial ring from the world of cultivation. On the topic of treasures, Demi immediately recalled the emerald figurine in her cabinet
“Grandma, the emerald digudne in my cabinet. Did you put it in there?” Demlasked.
“What emerald figurine?” Margaret blinked in confusion before her expression lit up with realization “Oh! I remember now. That’s yours, isn’t it? Did you forget?
“Mine?” Demi’s eyes widened in surprise. How could I have something like that?
“It’s yours! You told me that a very kind young man gave it to you. I thought it was too valuable and told you to retum it. Back then, you weren’t aware of how expensive it was, but after I explained it to you, you agreed to retum it right away.
“I was afraid you’d lose it, so I went with you. But when we went to the villa on the mountain you mentioned, there was no one there. We asked around and found out that the villa belonged to a wealthy family from the capital who only stayed there occasionally,
“We went back twice more but still didn’t find anyone. I told you to check again whenever you have time to see if the owner has returned.
“Once, you finally met a cartaker outside the villa and asked them to help you return it. But they refused, saying that it needed to be handed over in person. After that, you never managed to return it, so the figurine stayed with us.”
Demi’s eyes widened in shock was there such a story? She had completely forgotten.
“Demi, how could your memory be this bad? I remember it clearly, but you’ve already forgotten everything? Margaret asked in surprise.
“Then, Grandma, did I say anything else? Like how I met that young man? Or what his nam
“You said you met him while gathering mushrooms and herbs in the mountains. His name was what was it again? Oh dear, I forgot..” Margaret said as she raised her hands, about to pat her head.
Demi used her quick reflexes and caught her wrist. After all, there were still needles in Margaret’s head. “Grandma, are you sure it was a young man who gave it to me? Demi still found it hard to believe
What kind of young man would be so generous as to give her such a large piece of top–quality emerald‘
She really couldn’t call anything at all
“Of course. I may be old, but my memory is still very clear.” Margaret replied Indignantly. She didn’t forget to tease Demi afterward, adding, “But you… you’re so young! How can your memory be this bad?”
“Yeah… I must have forgotten,” Dem quicly relented.
After all, 300 years had passed for her. It was perfectly normal for leat to cemember
But to Margaret, it had only been a few years. Thus, her memory was definitely more reliable
“Oh, right|I remember now. Theard that you fell into the lake while catching fish, and it was that young man who saved you. Later, when your foot got caught in a hunting trap, he helped you again and even treated your wound.”
Margaret continued, “At first, you were too scared to tell me because you thought I’d scold you and forbid you from going into the mountains again, but you accidentally let it slip later. You also mentioned he scolded you and stopped you from going to dangerous places. He was a good person overall ”
Demi blinked. Her savior had saved her twice, treated her wounds, and even gifted her an emerald figurine made from the highest quality emerald. Was he a literal in?
And she had completely forgotten about him. Wasn’t that just too ungrateful of ber?
“Then, did I give him anything in retur? Demisked confusedly,
Thinking back, she had been so poor back then that she probably had nothing to give him.
“oh, I think you gave him a wooden figure and told him you’d repay him someday. You even said that it was to prevent him from forgetting. You gave him the wooden figure so that he’d think of you whenever he saw it, and the same went for you. That’s when he gave you the emerald figurine In retum,” Margaret sald. Dem was at a loss for words. She couldn’t recall this. She really couldn’t remember it.
“Grandma, do you still remember where that villa is?” Deni looked at Margaret with anticipation.
“UL, I don’t remember exactly where it is. It’s been six or seven years since then, and I only went with you three times. Last year, when I went up the mountain, I ww that several new villas had been built, and they all looked similar. I wanted to look for that will, but I couldn’t find it, Margaret said with a frownL
Demi hurriedly said, “Don’t think about it if you can’t member.”
Maybe she would be able to jog ber memory when she saw that wooden figure,
Chapter 7 She Can’t Recall Her Savior
Regardless, she had to try to remember and repay that young man’s life–saving kindness as soon as possible.
Perhaps because it had been on her mind all day, Demi dreamed about the incident that night.
In her dream, she was drowning.
Just as she was panicking and terrified, a young man suddenly lifted her and brought her up to the shore. She wanted to see what her savior looked like, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t make out his face.
