Since Rube was not a common nin the small village, he had named himself Robin.
Rube nodded. “I've brought you a gift since you helpedback then. Do you want to cto my car to have a look at it?”
Teddy knew that Rube was Arielle’s friend, so he trusted the latter a lot. He nodded excitedly and said, “Sure! But | have to inform
my mom about it first.”
“Okay. Also, I'm bringing you to the town for dinner tonight. (This will be daily updtaed at www.m.techkasuhal.com)Tell your
parents that I'll send you htomorrow.”
“Okay! Yeah! I'm going to the town!” With that, Teddy ran into the house cheerfully.
A moment later, Teddy walked out while holding a woman's hands.
She was Teddy's mother, and her nwas Josee Crawford. As soon as she saw Rube, she lowered her head apologetically, “Robin,
thank you for taking him out, and I'm sorry for troubling you.”

“Don’t mention that. Teddy is an adorable and considerate kid. (This will be daily updtaed at www.m.techkaushal.com)I’'m
happy to take him out and have sfun.”
“Thank you.” Suddenly, Josee started coughing intensely after saying that.
“Are you okay?” Rube looked at her with concern. “Your sickness seems to becworse than before. My b-boss knows a little
about medical skills. How about you cwith us to town? | can ask my boss to take a look at you.”
Josee waved her hand to reject him. “It's okay. That's no need for that. I've had it for a long time. Moreover, we can’t afford to pay
for that. | don’t want to waste your boss’ time.”
“It's free of charge.”
However, Josee was insistent. “Thank you, but | really don’t need that. | didn’t get to persuade that stubborn man for you, so |
shouldn't accept your offer for granted.”
Everyone in Teddy's family had signed the petition, except for his father. He used to work for a long tunder the Southalls, so he
was reluctant to accept that request.
“Okay, then. But, if your situation gets worse, you have to go to the hospital as soon as possible,” Rube replies helplessly.
Josee got so grateful that her eyes becteary. “I know that you're asking us to sign the petitions for our own good. I'll try my
best to persuade him.”
“Thank you.” Rube nodded as he turned to Teddy. “Shall we go now, Teddy?”
“Okay.” Teddy waved at Josee. Then, he held Rube’s hand and left together.
Josee watched Rube and Teddy walk away before going back into the house, coughing.
Right then, Teddy's father, Nigel Lowe, cback to the house for lunch.
Upon scanning the surroundings, he asked, “Where's Teddy? Is he still gathering coals?”
“He has gone to the town with Robin. Robin will send him htonight.”
Most of the villagers were simple men. Hence, Nigel was not worried that Rube would do anything bad to Teddy. However, he

that?”
“What do you mean by that? Teddy hardly gets to enjoy himself in the town. You're his father. Can’t you think more about Teddy?”
Nigel fell into silence.
Josee took the opportunity to continue with her sentence, “You should reconsider signing the petition. (This will be daily
updtaed at www.m.techkaushal.com)Hasn’t Robin talked to us about that? As long as we work together, we can still get the salary
they owed us for years.”
Nigel continued to remain silent. He was an honest and obedient man. He had been working under the Southalls for years, so he
could not bring himself to go against them.
Josee was anxious upon seeing his reaction. “Can you at least think for Teddy and me? Do you wantto end up like our
daughter? We could not even afford her funeral after she died from her illness!”
Nigel took a puff of his cigarette and said, “Let's wait for a little longer. As soon as Mrs. Southall’s funeral is over, I'll try to claim my
salary with Rick. I-If he still refuses to pay us, t-then we'll discuss it again.” It sounded like he was willing to sign the petition now.
