In other words, the beautiful lady in front of her was her mother’s elder sister.
Her mother hurt the lady and went to prison.
Laura covered her mouth in disbelief, thinking of what Dora had said to her before.
The woman was in poor health and would gradually die if she talked.
So it was her mother who made the lady become like that, who would gradually die if she talked.
She couldn’t believe why her mother should hurt such a good lady.
Laura felt guilty and held Winnie’s hand. “Mrs. Smith, I’m sorry. Is your body feeling okay?”
Antonio’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, trying to wink at Laura.
“Why did the girl suddenly ask that? This would make her suspicious!” he exclaimed inwardly.
Winnie didn’t realize what was going on. “Why do you suddenly ask me about my body? Of course, I am in good health. I appreciate your concern.”
Laura sighed with relief and said, while patting her chest, “It’s good that you are fine. The last time Ms. Quinn told me that you were in poor health, talking to you would hurt your body, so I dared not talk to you.”
Winnie was stunned, but didn’t think too much. She was amused. “Dora is just
exaggerating. I am in poor health, but not that bad. And I like talking to you because you’re adorable. Besides, I think it’s fate that brings us together.”
She looked at Antonio with a smile, “Right, Antonio? Do you think we are fated to meet with this kid?”
Antonio, who was suddenly called, shook his head stiffly. “I don’t think so.”
Winnie sighed helplessly, “You’re such an obtuse man.”
She held Laura’s hand eagerly. “Are you in a hurry to go home now? I have a particularly interesting banquet tonight held by a little boy your age. Do you want to join the party?”

Antonio frowned and kept winking at Laura, hinting that she was not allowed to go.
Laura noticed him and shook her head cautiously. “No, Mrs. Smith. I’m going home, or I won’t be able to have dinner.”
Antonio was speechless, exclaiming inwardly, “What excuse is that?”
Winnie was stunned and didn’t care about it. “It’s okay. You won’t be hungry if you stay with me. I kept thinking about the last time that I didn’t spend enough time with you. Today, since I happened to meet you, I will take you out for fun and buy you another beautiful
dress!”
With that, she took out her phone and called Robert happily.
Soon, the call was answered.
She cut to the chase. “Robert, your young heroine is in Antonio’s company now. I’ve met
her, but can you tell her family that the girl will go to a banquet with me tonight? After that, I
would send the child back home in person. Could you help me communicate with her
family?”
She was confident that the child’s parents would agree.
The Yale family was a wealthy, prominent family at the top of the pyramid. Those who like
to curry favor with them could line up in a long line. So, letting the child’s family agree was
not a problem.
But Robert’s voice appeared eager and asked, “You have met with that child? Laura Yale?”
Winnie frowned and said, “Yeah, that kid. Which other child could be talking about?”
Robert gasped in shock and said in disbelief, “But… I don’t think it’s a good idea. Isn’t buying this kid a dress a waste of money? Plus, she has a bunch of dresses. I don’t think she
can even wear them all.”
Winnie was unmoved and said, “It was from the others, not me. Since you sent the child to Antonio for foster care, it means that her parents may not have time. I just need her for a few hours and then send her back. That’s all, and I’ll hang up now.”
Robert said, “Hello… Hello?”
