She snapped out of it and copied down Tre's address.As soon as she got off work, she could not wait to go to the address mentioned.After an hour of being on the bus, she arrived at the older part of Harbor City.It was a somewhat shantytown with a high population density and old houses.The number signs on many houses were mostly blurry. She eventually found the location after she asked several passersby.It was an old and small yard. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.After a while, an old lady opened the door."Excuse me, is this Tre's house?" she asked.The old lady tilted her head and seemed deaf. "Who?""Tre."The old lady looked puzzled. "I don't know him. You’re in the wrong place."Sonnet looked at the address and house number sign again. She was right. She was where she needed to be!"It’s not a mistake, Madam. Tre Lawson!"The old lady waved her hand and said impatiently, "I don't know him. I said I don't know him!"She then slammed the door with
"Uh, please put me down..." Sonnet whispered.Maxwell did not let her go and instead carried her to the sofa. "Mrs. Wilson told me that if a girl gets hurt, the boy should carry her like this!"Sonnet was speechless. ‘Mrs. Wilson’s too thorough. Judging by his proficiency, she might have practiced with him.’Maxwell put Sonnet on the sofa. Sonnet took off her shoe and rolled up her pant leg.Her ankle, which was swollen like a golf ball, appeared in front of their eyes.Sonnet was secretly surprised. Her ankle was much more swollen than before, probably because she had walked for some distance."Ah! A golf ball!" Maxwell exclaimed, then jumped up and went to the study.He came back after a while and carried a medicine box with him. "Maxwell will help Wifey apply the medicine!"Mrs. Wilson walked over and stopped Maxwell. "Young Master, don't apply the medicine just yet. You should put a cold compress first!"She went to the kitchen, brought a big ice pack, and handed it to M
Maxwell’s hand that was teasing the parrot paused promptly, but no one noticed his movement."Oh? What did he say? Did he agree to let you treat him to dinner?" Sonnet asked curiously.Jaybie shook his head and responded, "He said he was busy with work and didn't have time to eat with me. He just told me to contact him by text message.""Oh… I wonder what he works as…" Sonnet said softly.Jaybie tilted his head and thought about it. "He’s amazing at fighting, so he might be a policeman… like an undercover agent. Maybe that’s why he can't answer my calls whenever and doesn't have time to go out for a meal with me."Maxwell’s hand that was feeding the parrot bird food twitched, and the bird's food fell to the ground."Not paying attention! Not paying attention!" the parrot cried.Maxwell raised his hand and slapped the parrot.The parrot flapped its wings and flew to Sonnet for help. "Wifey! Wifey!"Sonnet laughed, stroked the parrot's feathers, and scolded Maxwell, "Are you bul
Sonnet did not want her dad to worry about her foot, so she had not visited for several days. She went as soon as she was able to walk.Unexpectedly, just as she entered the ward, she saw Hayden talking and laughing with Myles.Sonnet was a little surprised, she hurriedly cut some fruit to serve him.As Hayden was saying his goodbyes, he glanced at Sonnet, so she followed him out."I heard your son has leukemia and is waiting for a bone marrow match?" Hayden asked immediately.Sonnet looked at him in surprise.He smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. I overheard your father when I was chatting with him."Sonnet smiled. "Yes, but there’s no suitable match yet.""Let me help you figure out a way."Sonnet was pleasantly surprised and replied, "Thank you so much!"Hayden smiled. "You don't need to thank me. It's not a problem."Anyway, he was not the one who had to spend money. All he had to do was put in some effort."I have a general understanding of your son's situation. His
As Sonnet brought the peach croissants to the ward, she overheard two nurses talking in the corridor. "Is your blood type AB?""Yes.""In that case, let’s go for the blood test together. I'm also type AB.""I heard that there would be something in it for those who go for the test. I wonder what the reward is?""You’d be comfortable claiming the reward? This was initiated by Mr. Gunn. Everyone wants nothing more than to fawn over him, so they wouldn’t want to claim their reward. I reckon that many people are hoping that they’ll be a successful match so that Mr. Gunn will take a second look at them."Sonnet's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward and asked them, "What test are you talking about?""Oh, you can go if you want. The medical staff and family members of patients are welcome to try. Anyone with type AB blood can get a small gift if they go for the blood test.""What… is the blood test for?""Bone marrow matching. It’s to treat a patient’s leukemia," the nurse replie
‘Could it be that Hayden is Mister Sunglasses? How could it be him?’Sonnet heard footsteps coming from the outside, so she hurriedly put the phone back in its original position. She stepped back a little and acted like she did not see the phone.After Hayden walked in, Sonnet smiled at him and said, "Well, if it's okay, I'm going to head off now."Hayden replied with a smile, "Okay, we’ll talk soon!"Sonnet nodded and left the office.She had a lot of questions in her mind as she walked to her father's ward.‘How could Mr. Sunglasses be Hayden? Did he save Jaybie by accident or on purpose?‘If it’s intentional, how could he have known about Jaybie's kidnapping? Why is he paying attention to our movements?’After she left, Hayden answered a call, and the other party said, "I left my phone at your office. Bring it to me..."In the evening, Sonnet went to talk to Lindy Jackson, "Are you familiar with Hayden Gunn?"Lindy rolled her eyes and responded, "Of course. He's one of Har
Sonnet immediately dialed the emergency number and then made use of the first aid knowledge she had learned before to give her cardiac compression and artificial respiration.Time passed by, and Old Lady Lawson still did not wake up.Sonnet was anxious and exhausted, but she followed through with the proper methods for fear that Old Lady Lawson would never wake up if there was a slight mistake on her end.The sound of an ambulance came from far to near. It stopped outside the door, and two medical personnel rushed over with first aid kits.Sonnet immediately stepped aside and let the medical personnel come to Old Lady Lawson’s rescue.After they checked her vitals, they smiled at Sonnet and said, "Her heartbeat has recovered. You did a good job. You saved her life!"Only then did Sonnet heave a sigh of relief. After she took a deep breath, she suddenly felt weak all over her body. Her legs and arms were even shaking! It was because she was tired from doing cardiopulmonary resusci
Sonnet went back to discuss with Old Lady Lawson, asking her to adjust her attitude appropriately as she would need her son and daughter-in-law to take care of her in the future. She could use that house to keep them in check so that they would not abandon her so easily. Old Lady Lawson obviously took her words to heart and held her hand, saying, “Thank you for this, girl.”Sonnet smiled and shook her head, saying, “It’s nothing.”“Last time you came, it was to see Tre. Did you know my good-for-nothing grandson?” Old Lady Lawson might look old, but she was still sharp-minded.Sonnet smiled and replied, “Actually, I was looking for his younger brother for something.”“Quad?” Old Lady Lawson exclaimed, widening her eyes in surprise.“Yes, it’s not a big deal. I just wanted to ask for his help.”“Oh, when his parents come, I’ll give you a call and you can come and meet them.”Old Lady Lawson handed her a key and said, “This is the key to my wardrobe. Open it up. There’s a passboo
