Chapter 126 - "Shoulder The Blame"
Once Grandpa Yofan asked, Elliana immediately explained what she saw with her own eyes. She described her experience in details despite her broken speech
After a few seconds, Grandpa Yofan finally understood what's going on.
"The sacred guardian is also by her side while she's in a coma?" The old man mumbled as he walked back and forth, forming a beeline.
"Yes!" Elliana nodded vigorously. She did see the sacred guardian beside Ainsley when she came to the baby's room.
"The sacred guardian...maybe it's not an illness…" Grandpa Yoyo stroked his beard and immediately halted. The old man looked at Elliana and nodded.
"Let's see Ain's condition first. But I think it's not an illness. Let's just hope that's the case." The old man waved, and he immediately gestured to the lady to follow him. The duo used their highest speed to arrive at Ainsley's chamber.
It was only 9 a.m when they arrived.
"Here…" Elliana pointed at Ainsley, who was sleeping in her crib. Despite their movements, she didn't seem to notice them.
"Hm. She's indeed sleeping…" Grandpa Yoyo's face darkened. He walked to the crib and observed the baby along with the sacred guardian next to her before sighing.
"I think...Ain is trying to bond with the sacred guardian…" Grandpa Yoyo hesitated briefly when he blurted out this fact. He wished what he said was true, but if it wasn't…
Maybe there's something wrong with Ain and the sacred guardian's connection?
"Bonding…" Elliana furrowed at the word. She also knew that her boss was trying to bond with this beast, but why would she fall asleep as if she's in a deep coma?
Despite her lack of knowledge, after studying hard to be a reliable guardian, Elliana knew one or two things about sacred guardians. She knew about the bonding term, but...there was no record in books about such an incident.
If one fell into a coma when they bonded with their sacred guardian, wouldn't that be dangerous? Others could easily attack their defenceless body!
Grandpa Yofan was also aware of this fact, but other than bonding, what other explanation could there be? He just checked, and Ainsley's body was healthy.
Maybe there was a hidden illness or something...they couldn't be sure, but should they invite doctors to check her? What if the family branches heard of this?
Wouldn't they try to vie for the family head's seat?
If possible, Yofan wanted to keep this matter a secret, but his intuition told him it would be impossible. Before Elliana came here, there must be other maids knowing about the issue…
Sooner or later, others would know as well. If Ainsley didn't wake up by then, a storm would hit the family once more!
Grandpa Yofan's face darkened once again to the point of one could squeeze ink from his skin…
The old man wasn't that worried about Ainsley's health since he had confidence in the baby. The baby wasn't sick. He just knew it. Even if he might be wrong, but he's sure about the baby's health more than anyone.
And so, he didn't worry whether Ainsley would die or not, unlike Elliana.
However, it didn't mean he was afraid of other things. He knew that ever since others discovered the sacred guardian issue, sooner or later, people would drag Elliana down to steal the sacred guardian.
Everyone only knew that Elliana was the one who summoned the beast. Thus, even if Ainsley played around with the cat, they would just think of it as Elliana allowing Ainsley to play.
However, now that Ainsley was seen sleeping near the beast and she seemed to be in a coma, wouldn't others think that Elliana neglected her duty by letting the sacred guardian sleep next to the baby?
Others would speculate that the sacred guardian was the reason why Ainsley fell into a coma. They could forge fake evidence to drive Elliana to the corner!
And sadly, the two of them couldn't refute or prove that the beast was bonding with Ainsley. First of all, there was no record about a sacred guardian bonding with someone until that someone fell into a coma…
Secondly, if they revealed that matter, the greedy family branches might kill or harm Ainsley who was so vulnerable! Once others knew that she attempted to bond with the beast, they wouldn't let her be.
Only after she successfully bonded and also triggered the beast's bloodline would the family branches back down.
Thinking of all these issues, Grandpa Yofan seemed to age faster than before. The old man walked in a circle before shaking his head.
It's better to protect Ainsley rather than telling others the truth. If that's the case…
They might have to sacrifice Elliana. However, Elliana wouldn't be killed as a punishment. She would only get stripped of her status as the family head's guardian.
Yet as long as Ainsley woke up and displayed her strength after bonding and triggering the sacred guardian's bloodline, they could easily return Elliana to her rightful position.
Right now, they didn't know when Ainsley would wake up. Thus, they had to prepare for the worst case.
Grandpa Yofan immediately explained the circumstances to Elliana, hoping that the woman would understand what would happen to her in the near future.
Once the news about Ainsley falling into a deep coma because of the sacred guardian that Elliana summoned, the woman would be in big trouble that even the supreme elder couldn't completely shield her.
Listening to Grandpa Yofan's explanation, Elliana's expression didn't change. She didn't panic at all and instead, she sighed in relief.
"Get it." The woman nodded.
As long as the boss is fine...even if she has to shoulder the blame, she doesn't care!
