Snare of Love

Chapter 766 Caregiver

Dolores asked Matthew to help Theresa out. Now that Abbott was gone, Matthew needed to do

everything by himself.

Plus, he needed to deal with what Abbott left. How he was going to find time to get a caregiver for

Theresa?

Matthew hadn’t done anything like this before.

“Abbott.”

Matthew stopped Abbott when he tried to open the door, “Do me a favour, please.”

Abbott said, “Sure. Anything.”

Matthew sent Abbott to go looked for Theresa and helped her to find a reliable caregiver.

Abbott promised Matthew and left the office.

Theresa didn’t go to visit Dolores. Elizabeth was discharged from the hospital, and nobody was taking

care of her at the moment. She needed to be attended to all the time since she had difficulties walking.

Theresa was worried that it could disturb Dolores if she brought Elizabeth along to visit Dolores.

So, Theresa waited at the hospital where she helped Elizabeth with her hospital discharge procedure.

Abbott drove to the hospital and found them.

“Come with me. I’ll send you there,” Abbott walked over.

Theresa said, “Thanks for your help.”

Abbott helped Theresa to get Elizabeth into the car after they got out of the hospital. He got into the

driver seat and said, “I knew a reliable caregiver centre, and their caregiver were well-trained and

highly capable. You should be able to find someone you need there.”

Theresa explained, “I’m not familiar with this city. I really appreciate your help.”

“Nah, it’s nothing. Matthew’s wishes are my command.”

Abbott smiled and said.

Theresa didn’t say anything else. Soon, it went quiet inside the car. Everyone in the car remained

silent. The traffic was heavy during the daytime. They were stuck in the traffic for almost an hour before

they arrived at the centre.

Abbott was familiar with the place and people here. They got invited to the General Manager’s office

once they arrived at the centre. The staff in the centre knew they were important guests.

“How may I help you this time?” the General Manager got a glass of water for them.

Abbott stopped him and told Theresa, “Ms. Gordon, let him know what’s your requirement and he will

find you a suitable candidate for the job.”

Theresa didn’t make a decision right away. Instead, she asked for Elizabeth’s opinion. After all,

Elizabeth was the direct client of the caregiver. Elizabeth had to like the person she hired.

The General smiled, “Name your requirement. Our caregivers are well-trained.”

Elizabeth said, “I need someone hardworking, and lively, in terms of her characteristic.”

Elizabeth had difficulties walking, and she spent most of her time at home. She didn’t like to be bored.

So she wanted someone hardworking and talkative to take care of her.

“Any requirement on the age?” the General Manager asked.

Elizabeth thought about it a little then replied, “Anything will do.”

Age wasn’t an important criterion. The most important thing was if the person carried the qualities

Elizabeth liked or not.

The General Manager smiled and said, “Please wait for a moment while I get some candidates here.

Then, you can choose from there.”

“Sure,” said Abbott.

The General Manager walked out of the office, then came back with five women. All of them aged

around forty years old, except for the last one. The last girl was young, very young. She had long black

hair, and she braided them into two parts. The girl looked pretty, and she was an attention grabber

among the row of middle-aged women.

The General Manager gave her a special introduction, “She’s from one of the villages in the rural area.

She’s the eldest in the family, and she’s got two younger brothers and a sister. She stopped going to

school and came out to work because her family was poor. She’s young, but she’s hardworking and Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

quite talkative.”

Abbott waved his hand, “I don’t think she’s the one.”

It wasn’t because Abbott looked down on the girl, nor he didn’t want to give her a chance. Abbott felt

like a young caregiver wasn’t suitable for the job. They needed a hardworking person. A young girl

might not be able to do the job right.

So many breadwinners of the family ended up getting together with the young caregiver in those soapy

dramas.

Of course, Abbott wasn’t referring to Armand. He just felt like it wasn’t appropriate.

Elizabeth said, “I thought she was fine,” she added, “How old are you?”

The young caregiver replied, “I’m nineteen this year.”

The girl sounded loud and clear. It gave Elizabeth a good impression.

“You’re so young. What’s your name?” Elizabeth asked again.

“It’s Dora,” the young caregiver smiled and answered.

Elizabeth nodded.

The General Manager didn’t dare to introduce her anymore. The girl came in with the help of a friend of

the General Manager. So many families had rejected her because she was young and pretty.

A family that could afford a caregiver was usually well-off. They were afraid of scandals that might

happen if they hired a young caregiver at home. So, being young as a caregiver wasn’t exactly a plus

point.

The General Manager always tried to sell her whenever someone came to look for a caregiver. He

wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

However, based on Abbott’s reaction just now, the General Manager didn’t dare to sell the girl to Abbott

anymore. So, he introduced the other caregivers to Abbott, “They are experienced in taking care of the

old folks. They are hardworking, and quite bubbly as well.”

Dora was clear about her situation. She didn’t have a degree, so her salary was usually low. But the

salary of a caregiver was pretty high, especially a caregiver from this centre. It was higher than the

market price because of the recognition from the previous employers. She only got into this centre

because someone helped her. If she wasn’t hired by anyone, she might have to leave the centre.

The opportunities of getting picked were getting lesser by days. Dora had to grab every chance she

got.

Dora approached Elizabeth, “Can I call you grams? You’re almost the same age as my grandmother.

I’m here for almost three months. Many families didn’t like me because I’m young, and they’re afraid

that I couldn’t get things done. But in fact, I’m very hardworking, and I can do almost anything.”

The General Manager usually won’t allow them to talk during the session, but he had to get rid of Dora

as soon as possible, so he let her be. He hoped that Dora could somehow persuade Elizabeth to hire

her.

Elizabeth turned and looked at Theresa, “Theresa, what do you think?”

“I don’t mind, as long as you like her,” Theresa didn’t want to interfere or influence Elizabeth’s choice.

Theresa only wanted Elizabeth to be happy.

“I think she’s alright. It’s not easy to find a job coming from a poor family. I’ll think of it as doing charity.

How do you say?” Elizabeth looked at Theresa and asked her.

Theresa replied, “Anything you like.”

“It’s her then,” Elizabeth made up her mind.

The General Manager took a breath of relief and thought, “Finally got rid of her.”

“Then let’s go and get the papers signed?” the General Manager was happy.

Abbott stood up, followed by Theresa, “I’ll go.”

Abbott said, “I’ll go with you,” then they followed the General Manager to get the papers signed. Abbott

asked Theresa, “The others were alright. This girl is so young. I’m doubting her capabilities.”

“Mrs. Bernie likes her. I can’t comment anything about it,” said Theresa.

Abbott nodded, “True. Most importantly, she felt happy.”

“This is the contract,” the General Manager handed the contract over.

Theresa took it, but Abbott said, “I’ll help you with it.”

So, Theresa handed the contract over to Abbott.

Theresa signed the contract after Abbott made sure everything was alright. They were paying her nine

thousand dollars every month, and they provided her with food and accommodation.

It was a discounted price for Abbott.

Usually, a caregiver from the centre was charging ten thousand dollars and above per month.

However, the salary Dora got was already higher than an ordinary caregiver.

Abbott sent Theresa back to Bernie’s mansion after they got out of the caregiver centre.
