In a few moments, only Bonnie, Sebastian and the old butler were left in the parlor.
It was quiet and the conversation was private.
But Bonnie still insisted on inviting the old butler into the adjacent lounge.
The lounge is only a dozen square meters, placed a small set of coffee table sofa, but also put some cabinets, etc., there is almost no room for spare space.
Bonnie gestured to the single chair in front of her, “Please sit down old butler.”
However, the old housekeeper did something that made everyone stumble.
He slowly moved away from the single chair, then flopped down on his knees in the vacant spot!
The muffled, heavy sound caused both Bonnie and Sebastian to freeze.
So much so that it took half a minute before he came back to his senses and reached forward to help the old butler, “Old butler, what are you doing, get up.”
“I don’t deserve to get up,” the old butler’s voice was dull with guilt, “I’m sorry little missus, Mr. Grant, I almost had to get you all killed.”
What?
The good reason for saying this is really frightening to the heart.
“Old Butler, what the hell does that mean, why would you get us killed for good reason?” Bonnie asked.
The old butler let out a long sigh, and finally told the two of them all that had happened to him over the past few days, all of it, one by one.
The face covered with vicissitudes only left endless guilt, “It’s all my fault, if you guys are angry, feel free to be angry towards me, I have no half reason, because I deserve it!”
“You mean that bomb is in the backyard now?” Sebastian, however, was more concerned about that.
The old butler nodded, “Yes, I looked around in the small bungalow and found a cellar, so I put the bomb in, with all kinds of things blocking the hole above.”
So that even if it explodes, the power will be much smaller.
But who knew that as soon as the words left his mouth, Sebastian opened his long legs and walked in the direction of the backyard.
Seeing this, the old butler’s heart was hanging in his throat.
Mr. Grant, what are you doing? It’s dangerous, don’t go!
“I’m not sure what the bomb is, how powerful it is, if even in the basement, it’s enough to level the Pearson Family?”
Or maybe, it’s some element with radioactivity, which will affect everyone’s health instead.
None of this can be determined, so one has to go and see it.
“Then I’ll go, you guys stand far away and never come close.” The old butler said.
He is already an old bone, it does not matter if he dies or not.
The key is for Mrs. Little and Mr. Grant to stay alive.
Not to mention …
The old housekeeper’s mouth curled into another bitter smile, “I hope that if I pass away because of this incident, Mr. Grant and Mrs. Little can take care of my two grandchildren.”
When he died, he didn’t care about the two children anymore.
And, even if he were alive, he could not have protected them much better.
Rather than sacrifice, at least they can live a better and safer life.
It’s a good deal when you think about it.
But hearing this, Bonnie frowned, “What are you talking about old butler, you won’t die, you won’t!”
The old butler bared his teeth and smiled, “It’s best not to die, but people, it’s always right to plan for the worst.”
Bonnie was even more distressed to hear this.
I’m about to speak again, but Sebastian stopped her, his voice low and hoarse, “Okay, I promise you, if something does happen, I’ll be responsible for those two kids to the end.”
