I Saved A Mystery Billionaireac (Eudora)
Chapter 967 Poor Girl

Jervis stood aside, smoking. He didn't speak but just listened to the sound of water.

After a while, Mia put the clothes in the big basin and began to wash the blankets.

However, the blankets were too thick and heavy, and she couldn't lift them after they got wet. Her feet slipped, and she almost fell into the water. "Be careful," Jervis said.

He stepped forward and grabbed Mia's arm. "Are you all right?"

Mia almost fell into the water, and her face turned pale with fright. She turned her head and smiled at Jervis.

She put down the blankets and gestured to Jervis. "Jervis, thank you."

Her smile made Jervis' heart skip a beat.

He threw the cigarette butt aside and said to Mia, "I'll help you."

"No need. The water is too cold."

Mia was gesturing, but Jervis rolled up his sleeves and took the wet blankets from her hand.

He knew that the water was cold, but when he touched the water, he realized that it was icy cold.

When he got closer to Mia, he clearly found that her hands were full of chilblains and cracks, which was very pitiful.

Jervis didn't understand. How could there be such a poor girl?

Jervis twisted the blankets and put them on the stone. Mia smiled at him and started to wash them, but because Jervis stood too close, the foam splashed all over his body.

Mia was taken aback. "Sorry, I didn't mean it. You should stand far away."

She pointed to where Jervis was standing just now and gestured.

Jervis looked at the foam splashing on his trouser legs and laughed. "It's okay."

He stepped aside so as not to disturb her.

Out of his sense of responsibility as a police officer, he was worried that Mia would accidentally fall into the river if she washed heavy clothes, so he waited until she finished washing. Just as he was about to leave, he found Mia's basin piled up with clothes, which were difficult for her to carry.

"I'll help you," Jervis said.

He stepped forward, trying to help Mia, but she put two blankets back on the stone and walked away staggeringly holding the basin.

From the river to the road, there was a small slope. On this snowy day, the icy road was slippery. Mia wore a pair of boots to prevent her from falling.

She almost walked up, but suddenly, she slipped and fell.

She slid down the slope with the big basin, looking embarrassed.

Jervis immediately ran over. He grabbed Mia's arm and pulled her up. "Are you all right?"

Mia didn't look at Jervis but stared at the clothes scattered from the basin. Seeing the clothes were stained with mud; she picked them up angrily and stubbornly walked back to the stone by the river. She sat down and washed them again.
