Chapter 141: "Alive and Kicking"
Once the childish voice pierced everyone's ears, the guests simultaneously turned their heads to the door.
All eyes were instantly on a small figure running toward Elliana with her eye-catching pink school uniform stabbing their eyes.
"Nwo! Elh ish nwot guiltwy! (No! El is not guilty!)" Ainsley immediately stood in front of Elliana and spread her arms wide. The child looked up at the adults with a glare.
"Welease Elh! (Release El!)"
The baby's eyes reddened in agitation. Her shoulders trembled hard, as if she's about to faint anytime but her shaky voice was surprisingly loud enough for the people at the back to hear her.
The moment Ainsley did her thing, the hall hushed down. The surroundings became so silent that one could even hear the sound of a pin dropping to the floor.
Everyone looked at the tiny creature which wasn't even as tall as their knees with wide eyes.
The family head...is here? She's awake?
Upon seeing the girl, the guests instantly had the same thoughts.
Isn't she in a coma? How come she's here?
The crowds gulped. Their face crumpled into an ugly face. Some with conscience even started to doubt things.
Astonishment crept into everyone's heart as they quickly looked at the 6 elders in charge of guarding Elliana.
"This...what's going on?" One of the nine generals crossed his arms and looked at the elder at the centre of the formation with frosty eyes.
The general was already a middle-aged man. Having seen a lot of things in this world, how could he not notice something amiss the moment the family head barged in?
They said that the family head might not wake up. That's why Elliana's sin was great enough to receive the heaviest punishment.
But...what the heck?
That baby is kicking and alive! She can even run and shout like that. Who are you trying to kid?
The middle-aged general glared menacingly at the centre elder. "Elder, can you please explain what's going on? You said that the family head is in a coma."
Even if the general didn't approve of Ainsley's position as the family head, they still couldn't let go of things when the baby came here.
She's still the family head in name!
Once the general questioned the elder, the old man's heart leapt to his throat. Sweat dripped down his forehead as his back suddenly felt slightly cold…
"This…" the centre elder gulped. He looked down at the baby, who was busy circling Elliana with a panicked face, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Supreme elder, this...I...I don't know what's going on." The centre elder decided to toss the problem to Grandpa Yofan.
He also didn't know why the supposedly comatose family head suddenly woke up and barged in, okay?!
As if already waiting for the question, Grandpa Yofan smiled sweetly as he walked to Ainsley with wide strides. "I'll handle this." The old man quickly bent his back and carefully lifted Ainsley.
"Ain, are you okay? How did you wake up? What happened?" The old man immediately asked tons of questions in one breath. His face flushed red in excitement, and his heart almost leapt out of his chest.
Ain is here! She's okay! She's awake! Oh gosh. With this, we can save Elliana!
Grandpa Yofan already waited for a long time to have Ain waking up and defend Elliana. Who would have thought that she came at the right time?
Sensing Grandpa Yofan's warmth, Ainsley snuggled to the old man's chest before pouting.
"Ain was pwaying with Cwellino! (Ain was playing with Cellino!)" The baby hurriedly explained. She ignored the guests' astonished gazes around her and slowly retold the experience she felt the past few days.
The more the guests heard the story, the more their face changed.
This…
What is this baby talking about? We...we don't understand a single thing!
The guests looked as if they just ate a fly. They wanted to listen to the child's story, but her unique pronunciation just messed up their mind.
Who the fck can understand you, young lady?!
The guests had a bitter smile on their face while the branch families clenched their fists until their knuckles turned white.
It didn't matter if they couldn't understand what Ainsley was talking about. Their concern was…
Why the heck that fcking piece of sh*t wakes up now?!
The four branch families instantly realised that their plan might as well fail at the last step. Just before they managed to take care of Elliana…
The baby's presence ruined it all!
Alas, the guests might have varied thoughts at the moment, but one thing they had in common.
They...want to know what the heck is the baby talking about!
Not knowing what the guests thought in silence, Ainsley leisurely explained everything to Grandpa Yofan. She took a few minutes to finish, and only then she stopped talking.
"Dwone!" The girl clapped her hands as she peeked at Elliana. The woman didn't lower her head anymore and was now looking at her with bright eyes.
It was as if her only salvation came back to her life.
Ainsley couldn't help but secretly sigh in relief.
Damn it. That was close! If I was late just for a few seconds...Elliana might be gone by now.
Ainsley silently wiped her forehead as she turned her head around and looked up at Grandpa Yofan. The baby immediately activated her pitiful eyes plus her charm ability.
"Gwandpa, welease Elh! Pwease! (Grandpa, release El! Please!)" Ainsley tugged Grandpa Yoyo's beard as her eyes turned watery.
That sight resembled a puppy begging for food, and alas, who could refuse her?
Grandpa Yofan's heart melted. The old man immediately straightened his back and nodded.
Leave it to your grandpa!
But...will he succeed, though?
