Celia had taken the train many times, and Wendy and Jane also had taken the train several times with her. However, Hardy and his father went to the capital city, which was the farthest place they had ever been. It was the first time for them to take a train, and the first time for them to go to another city. They were very curious all the way.
Cora couldn't go with them, and she was worried that they wouldn't have dinner on the way. She cooked eggs and steamed bun so that they would be starved on the train, and packed a dozen of eggs and buns for them, and she also brought some for Celia. Since their seats were near, they should share it together. It was not inappropriate if Celia could only watch them while they were having meals.
People were kind-hearted. Celia wanted to treat them to the lunch on the train, but Horace stopped her.
In Horace's mind, Celia was still a child like Hardy. Celia not only had to take care of her mother, but also had to prepare tuition fees for herself. It was not easy
n my study. You do a good job in taking care of me, which is the greatest support and help for me."
Celia helped Wendy over the difficulties. No matter how worthless Wendy might think herself was, she was Celia’s mother. And Celia thought that Wendy was not as useless as she thought. After the clothing shop was started, Celia rarely cared about it. It was Wendy and Jane who took care of it. Wendy had been working hard and making progress, which was the best.
"It's a happy thing for your child to go to such a good university. Why do you say it like you made a mistake? Both of you are the best and became the best version of yourself."
Wendy was sensitive and always felt inferior to others. If Jane had such a good daughter one day, she would be very happy and complacent. However, Wendy always felt that she owed Celia a lot. It was not her fault that her husband died young, and it was not her fault that her mother-in-law was so virulent to them. It was not easy for a widow to raise her child alone.
