The caretaker was stunned and looked at Amelia. Where did this child come from? Nosy!
The caretaker put on a confused expression. “l didn’t… This little kid can’t spout nonsense.” She didn’t see Quella immediately just now because she was at the corner of the garden with Old Master Carl. She firmly believed that Quella didn’t see her, so as long as she refused to admit it, she would believe it. As for what a child said, who could believe her?
Quella’s expression was very bad, especially after hearing Amelia’s words. She was not sure if the caretaker was lying or not. She could only say, “The Old Master is muddle-headed right now. Didn’t I tell you before that when you go to the washroom, push Old Master back to his room first. If you go to the washroom, it will take at least ten minutes. What if something happens to Old
Master during this period?”
The caretaker looked vexed. “Yes, yes, yes. I was careless. Madam, I’m sorry. I’ll definitely pay attention next time… No, no, no, there definitely won’t be a next time!
Amelia stared at the caretaker and said word by word, “You didn’t go to the toilet just now. You were feeding Grandpa Carl something!” Although she didn’t see that scene, her mother saw it, and so did her master! Her mother and master told her to quickly stop Grandpa Carl, so she threw Grandpa Turtle out! Moreover, she could also see that there was a ghost on this caretaker auntie’s head! Her master said that this ghost was called a black-hearted ghost. Since she could be pestered by a black-hearted ghost, it meant that this auntie was definitely not a good person!
When the black-hearted ghost on the caretaker’s head saw Elmer, it wanted to run immediately, but Elmer stopped it.
The caretaker was very vexed, but she could only put on a confused expression. “Huh? The Old Master was just eating melon seeds. It’s nothing…” Amelia pointed at the slippers on the ground. “Auntie, your slipper is still at Grandpa Carl’s feet. Did you go to the toilet in one slipper?”
The caretaker: ‘
Amelia pointed at the pile of melon seeds on the ground. “Second, Grandpa Carl is sick and can’t munch on melon seeds himself, but these melon seeds have all been eaten cleanly…”
The caretaker continued to be silent.
Amelia pointed at a pile of dirty melon seeds and soil on the ground. “Thirdly, if Grandpa Carl eats melon seeds himself, he shouldn’t be able to chew all the melon seeds and spit them out while continuing to eat, right? Moreover, there’s sand and soil in these chewed melon seeds.’
Amelia was still young and insufficiently observant. She had learned this from Helena, but she was smart and quickly absorbed the knowledge.
The caretaker looked anxious and aggrieved. “This… I don’t know what’s going on either. My slipper… it accidentally flew out when I ran back in a hurry just now… As for those melon seeds, I helped Old Master peel them in the beginning, so the melon seeds shell is clean. As for the chewed melon seeds shell, perhaps Old Master was anxious after I went to the toilet and grabbed them to eat?”
Quella frowned. “Then how do you explain the dirt in the chewed melon seeds?”
The caretaker opened her mouth. “Maybe the melon seeds fell to the ground and Old Master picked them up again…”
Amelia looked like a little adult and shook her head solemnly. “Auntie, you’re lying again. Your words are flawed. Grandpa Carl is in a wheelchair. How can he bend down to pick up things?” When he was in a wheelchair, he could not bend down to pick up things! In the past, when her grandmother was in a wheelchair, she could not pick up things herself when they fell. It was always others who picked them up, so Grandpa Carl could not drop the melon seeds and pick them up again.
When Quella heard this, she also frowned. “That’s right. Mia is right about this.”
The caretaker did not know what excuse to find this time. She had an expression that said, “Aiyo, I’m really… Sigh, I really don’t know what’s going on. If it weren’t for… let’s check the surveillance cameras?” She dared to say that she was checking the surveillance cameras because she had observed for the past few days and knew which part of Carl’s house was a blind spot that the surveillance cameras could not capture.
Quella said, “Okay, let’s investigate then.”
The commotion here alarmed Koen and George. By the time they came out, Quella had already sent someone to check the garden surveillance.
Koen frowned. “Is there some kind of misunderstanding?”
