Chapter 1021 About half an hour passed, and Lady Sweeney still had not returned.
Mrs. Kaur was growing impatient.
She stood up from the sofa, pacing restlessly around the living room.
Her steps were hurried and anxious.
She couldn't help but let her mind wander. Was it possible that the expert was unwilling to help? Or did he think she couldn't afford his fee? Or maybe her situation was too complicated for him to handle? The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her mind became, and the more anxious she felt.
But this was someone else's home, and despite her frustration and anger, she dared not show it. All she could do was wait.
Just as she was about to lose her patience, Lady Sweeney leisurely walked back in from outside.
Before Lady Sweeney could speak, Mrs. Kaur rushed to her like a madwoman, her face full of nervousness and excitement. "Lady Sweeney, what did the expert say? Is he willing to help me?" Lady Sweeney chuckled softly and took out a yellow talisman paper. "I was waiting there because the expert was making this talisman!" Seeing the talisman, Mrs. Kaur immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled, and she felt much more at ease.
"So the expert was helpingall along... I thought he wouldn't help me!" "How could that be? To the expert, your issue is a piece of cake." Lady Sweeney handed the yellow talisman paper to Mrs. Kaur. "The expert said to burn this talisman at midnight in the northwest corner of your yard. This will ensure you safely get through this crisis. If you make it through, don't forget to thank the expert. Otherwise, there will be consequences." Mrs. Kaur's hands trembled with excitement as she looked at the yellow talisman in her palm, her voice shaking. "Don't worry, I will follow the master's instructions." Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. "I was at my wit's end and never expected you to helpin the end. Lady Sweeney, I will never forget your kindness. Thank you." "Oh, there's no need to be so polite," Lady Sweeney smiled, a flash of disdain in her eyes.
Mrs. Kaur quickly asked, "How much do I owe for this talisman? I'll transfer the money right away." Lady Sweeney shook her head. "We've known each other for a while; talking about money would be too formal. You should hurry home." Hearing that it was free, Mrs. Kaur beceven more emotional, her gratitude towards Lady Sweeney indescribable. "Thank you, thank you. Once I get through this, I will repay you generously." Compared to Mrs. Kaur's excitement, Lady Sweeney's reaction was much more indifferent. "You should go back now and remember to burn the talisman as instructed." "Okay, okay." Mrs. Kaur hurriedly left.
On her way home, she held onto the talisman paper as if it were a precious treasure, carrying all her hopes with it.
She rushed hfrantically.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFirst, she found the exact location and direction. Then she took a deep breath.
Midnight was still hours away.
She had to wait; she had to wait until midnight.
She carefully put away the talisman paper and returned to her room.
At that moment, various authorities had almost all gotten involved. However, out of respect for the Kaur family group, they had not yet taken any drastic measures against Mrs. Kaur's training institution.
They were merely advising parents to stay calm and not get too agitated.
They suggested waiting a bit longer; after all, no one had said they were running away and had promised to refund the money.
The institution's staff explained that there was simply no money in the account at the moment.
This employee was on the verge of breaking down; if it weren't for the high salary Mrs. Kaur offered her, she wouldn't have stayed behind to deal with these messy issues after all other employees had been dismissed.
She had been scolded to tears by angry parents several times, her eyes red and swollen.
But no one showed any sympathy for her.
In everyone's eyes, all training institution staff were bloodsuckers and heartless merchants. They had taken their money and still had the nerve to cry in front of them.
Did they have no conscience? Tquickly reached midnight.
Nola looked at Mrs. Kaur curiously. "Mom, it's almost midnight; why aren't you asleep yet?" She had finished watching her series and variety shows and was about to drink a carton of milk before going to bed. When she stepped out of her room, she found her mother still wide awake in the living room, playing on her phone and scrolling through Tik Tok.
Was this for real? Usually, Mrs. Kaur would have gone to bed long ago for her beauty sleep at this hour.
Mrs. Kaur was filled with anticipation and could hardly contain herself, but she didn't want to tell Nola before anything happened. She forced a smile. "You go to bed first. There's too much on my mind; I can't sleep." Hearing her mother sound so helpless, Nola immediately sat down beside her.
Normally, Mrs. Kaur would have been delighted by her daughter's thoughtfulness, but now she just wanted Nola to stop talking and go upstairs to bed.
It was almost midnight! She couldn't miss this crucial moment.
"Nola, you're so good. How did I get such an understanding daughter?" Mrs. Kaur patted Nola's hand. "You go to bed; I'll sit here a bit longer.' Nola didn't suspect anything and went back to her room.
Watching her daughter's retreating figure, Mrs. Kaur quickly took the talisman paper from her pocket and headed outside.
She had already pinpointed the exact location and direction during the day.
All she needed to do now was burn the talisman paper.
She hurried to the spot and looked around to make sure no one was around before taking out a lighter and igniting the talisman paper.
The talisman quickly burned to ashes, scattering into the air.
Mrs. Kaur felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders and let out a long breath as she stood up.
But as soon as she turned around, she was startled and quickly covered her mouth with her hand. "You scared me! What are you doing standing behindin the dark? You could frighten someone to death!" Nola looked aggrieved and confused. "Mom, what were you burning just now? Why are you acting so secretive? Are you hiding something from me?" Mrs. Kaur grabbed Nola's hand and hurried back inside. "What are you shouting about? This is a talisman I got from an expert; it will helpavoid misfortune. Do you understand?" "Mom, that's superstition. How can you believe in such things?" Nola didn't believe it at all.
"Oh dear, can you helpthen? Your dad isn't helping, Dariel is out of the question... I'm really out of options... I'm just trying anything at this point..." Mrs. Kaur's voice faded as they walked away.
Little did they know that after they left, a circular formation briefly appeared on the ground where the talisman had been burned before disappearing instantly! It vanished so quickly that even if someone had seen it, they would have thought they were seeing things.

In the dead of night, an old man sat cross-legged on a cushion meditating quietly.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and grinned triumphantly. "That foolish woman actually burned it! I had decided to give up on using the Kaur family for this formation, but it fell into my lap effortlessly. Now I can plant a new formation." "Master, what is this formation?" Hearing his movements, a man who had been standing guard outside walked in cautiously and respectfully asked for guidance. Chapter 1021 2 "But didn't you say there needed to be ten major formations? The most important one is at the Hipps family," the man still didn't understand.
Chapter 1021 3 Master Wood looked troubled.
He had set up nine small formations in total; only one more was needed for ten major formations! Once completed, it would ensure that the Sweeney family would thrive even more than they already did and guarantee prosperity for all their descendants.
"What about the Hipps family... Master, why don't you send me? I'll help you complete the major formation; once ten formations are connected..." The man immediately offered eagerly.
"No way; this final formation at the Hipps family is no small matter," Master Wood shook his head. "If it were that simple, I would have succeeded long ago." This last formation required careful planning.
Morning sunlight streamed into the room as a gentle breeze rustled through the curtains. The man lying in bed slowly opened his eyes.
Clear... sharp...
No longer blurry like yesterday or hazy like days before.
Everything was clear; it was a world of light.
Franklin suddenly sat up.
His tall figure moved towards the window as he gazed outside at the scenery and breathed in fresh air.
This was the view from the presidential residence; its layout included lush trees, various buildings, rock gardens with flowing water features, flower beds, and pathways.
He didn't know how to describe his feelings; regaining his sight felt incredibly wonderful.
A strong thought flashed through his mind: he could see again! He wanted to see Sylvia! When Jasper entered, he saw Franklin standing by the window with an unusual look of joy on his usually calm face.
"Master Franklin, how is your vision today?" "I can see clearly now," Franklin said with a slight smile on his lips.
Jasper's face lit up with joy. "That's fantastic!"
