Chapter 1889 Cameron
"Mrs. Kella, even if we go home, Gareth and I will never forget you or this place."
Mrs. Kella stiffened.
Elisa's words hit straight to her heart. She could not help but be moved.
Mrs. Kella feared being alone in her old age.
Elisa continued, "If possible, we will return to see you and take you on a short vacation."
Mrs. Kella did not speak. She fought hard to rein in her tears.
She feared she would lose control if she opened her mouth.
Elisa gently held Mrs. Kella's hands. She noticed Mrs. Kella's eyes were glittering with tears. They looked like the stars in the night sky.
"Mrs. Kella, can you give Gareth and me a name according to your language."
"Yes…" This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Mrs. Kella stopped resisting and let tears flow from her eyes.
Her tears felt warm as they landed on Elisa's arms.
Elisa grabbed a tissue and lovingly wiped Mrs. Kella's tears.
Gareth finished washing the dishes and came out to this scene. He decided not to disturb them and quietly returned to his room.
Although Mrs. Kella did not say anything, Gareth knew she missed Sodo.
Likewise, he also knew how much Elisa missed Julia even when she did not say anything.
Thus, Elisa and Mrs. Kella found comfort in each other.
After some time, Elisa supported Mrs. Kella and brought her to her room.
The following morning, Elisa woke up at the break of dawn. She went to Mrs. Kella's room and did not find her there.
She was confused and searched the house but could not find her.
Then, she went to Gareth's room and found him missing too.
Still, Elisa was strangely calm.
They left together. It meant that they had arranged it beforehand. Therefore, Elisa knew they were not in danger.
With that in mind, Elisa began to prepare breakfast.
As expected, Gareth and Mrs. Kella returned around twenty minutes later.
Gareth brought back many herbs.
Elisa glanced at them and put down her tea before greeting, "Where did you go? You should wash your hands and eat breakfast. You have to get to the tournament site soon."
Mrs. Kella smiled and sat down. "I brought him to the mountains and taught him about herbs. Although the warriors' tournament doesn't prohibit outsiders, the challenges they issue are disadvantageous to outsiders. That's why I brought Cameron with me. Apart from giving him a final revision on the herbs, he can help me collect them to keep at home for emergencies. I've done my part. It's up to him to remember them."
Elisa smiled.
Cameron was the name Mrs. Kella told Elisa before entering her room. It was the name she gave Gareth.
Elisa had yet to tell Gareth about it.
Thus, Gareth likely had no idea he was given this name.
Elisa could not help but smile as she listened to Mrs. Kella.
She detected their influence in Mrs. Kella's words.
In some ways, their stay in this village was considered a cultural exchange.
After breakfast, the three headed to the warriors' tournament.
The warriors' tournament participants were required to gather in the village chief's compound.
However, non-participants were not allowed to enter.
It meant Elisa and Mrs. Kella could only accompany Gareth until they reached outside the compound.
Mrs. Kella kept reminding Gareth to be careful. At the same time, she could not resist looking into the compound from time to time.
Gareth knew who she was looking for and understood her concern.
Therefore, he smiled and promised, "Don't worry, Mrs. Kella. I'll remind Sodo to be careful and will help him when needed. I'll also give him a chance to escape if I meet him during the tournament."
