Chapter 113 The Noble Lily

Charles was utterly surprised; Lily had been beside him for so long, yet this was the first time she had asked for a salary.

"Why, whenever you needed to buy something before, didn't you just drag me along to buy it?"

With drooping ears, Lily began to pour out her heart to Charles. It turned out she had seen James's wife distributing stale bread to the pitiable refugees of Shadow Island and wanted to do the same.

"Mr. Charles, let's help them, they are so pitiful. I saw some of them so hungry they rummaged through trash heaps for things even the rats wouldn't eat to fill their stomachs—it's heartbreaking," Lily pleaded as she tugged at Charles's fingers and swayed them like she was wheedling.

"And you think you can help all those people?"

"Well... even if it's one person, it still helps. Being hungry is truly unbearable, and besides, Char told me there have been a lot more dead people in the sewers lately."
