When Ruth left Henry's home, her heart felt lighter and her determination was burning brighter. She was grateful to his family that they had no qualms against her. Instead, they supported her as their Luna.
The old man accepted her apology, although he thought it was not her fault. He was very proud of his grandson!
But why Edwin wanted to meet them was for another reason. As the family's sole breadgainer had passed away, he offered a job as a maid to Laila. He offered her to be Ruth's maid so that she and her grandfather could shift into the servants' quarters.
That way they did not need to pay for the rent of the place where they currently lived.
But Ruth had a better idea than that. She requested Edwin to allow Laila to resume her education.
'An educated woman can conquer any mountains', she said.
She offered to take the financial responsibility for Laila's education. And Edwin was more than glad to agree with her.
