Joshua grimaced, "Auntie, I didn't say you were a gossip. Why did you jump out and call yourself out!"The parent was defeated.Seeing this, another parent immediately stepped forward and said, "It's a fact that you don't have a father! Besides, your mother doesn't work. Where did you get the money to buy a house in this apartment for you to go to school? You also enroll in various interest classes and special classes?""My mom works! She just works at home!""Hehe, I think she works on the bed! I don't know how many wild men she has been with. Cheating men for their money! After all, she looks pretty!" The parent sneered.Joshua stomped his feet angrily. "You can't slander my mommy! She really has a job! She makes money by painting!""Painting? Who does she sell it to? She's not an artist, so how much can a painting cost?" Then, the parents looked at Shawn. "It's the kind of rich man who would be willing to buy her paintings at a high price!""Yes, he might be buying a painti
Fiona said, "I have recorded everything just now, and I will submit it to the court as evidence.""Everyone, if you have any opinions, I will see you in the court and wait for the judgment." Going to court was so troublesome.Some parents had jobs. If they were sued, they might lose their jobs.It was a trivial thing to say, but once it became a big deal, it would be of no benefit to anyone!Shawn's attitude was very tough. "Just do it like this!"He took Joshua by the hand, turned around, and was about to leave.The matter here should be left to Fiona and the lawyer.He took Joshua to the hospital to treat the wound.When the parents saw this situation, their attitudes changed drastically.They hurriedly stopped in front of Shawn, smiling."Come on. It's a trivial matter. Why do you want to go to court?""Yes, yes, forget it, let's forget it. We don't care about it.""It's just that the children are ignorant and naughty."Shawn raised his eyebrows. "Forget it?""Yes, i
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance to meet again. How are your injuries?" Shawn said.Joshua was very bold and answered, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt!"Shawn really liked Joshua.However, he could not steal him and bring him home."Okay, Uncle is leaving first. Goodbye."Joshua held his hand reluctantly.This uncle was really kind. He supported him and cared about him, alas… it would be great if he was his father!"Uncle, do you really not think about getting married again? Sleeping alone is so lonely and scary. After marrying, there will be two people. You can have a wife to warm the bed in winter and use your wife as a pillow in summer!" Joshua asked.Fiona spat out, laughing."What are you laughing at? I want to grow up and marry a wife soon. I don't want to sleep alone," Joshua said seriously.Shawn replied, "We'll talk about it when you grow up."Fiona glanced at the time and said, "Mr. Wood. It's time to go to the airport. Otherwise… we won't be able to leave to
"Mommy! Good evening!" he said."Good evening. Let's have dinner, Joshua.""Well, I'm going to wash my hands!"Gale scratched his hair, feeling that something was wrong. Why was Joshua acting so weird?However, she could not tell what was wrong.After washing his hands, Joshua ran past her like a gust of wind and went straight to the dining hall.Gale finally understood what was wrong.Why was he still wearing a mask at home?Joshua lifted the mask from below and lowered his head to scoop food into his mouth.This kind of strange behavior..."Joshua." "Yes!""Take off the mask."He deliberately coughed hard. "No, this can prevent infection."Gale did not listen to his nonsense, and she just reached for his mask.Joshua pressed down hard. "Mommy, what are you doing...""Take it off. Let me see your face. What are you trying to hide?"Joshua curled his lips and gave up struggling.The scratch mark on his cheek was very obvious."How did you do it? Did you get hurt? Di
Gale had a sore nose and felt like crying.She blinked quickly and forced back the tears. "Joshua, you are still young, and the family does not need you to go out to make money.""But I am confident that I can get first place. It's a seven thousand dollar prize. It is enough for our family's living expenses for a year," Joshua replied. The more sensible he was, the more Gale blamed herself.It was because she was incapable that the child knew to help her share the pressure of life at such a young age.Gale touched his head and said, "Joshua, Mommy will work hard and design to make money. The money is enough, so you don't need to worry. The family is not at the point where you need to show your face to make money.""It's just a competition...""Okay, don't touch the wound when you wash your face at night. I have to take Nicole to the hospital tomorrow. You go to school by yourself, don't run around, and don't cause trouble, okay?" Gale said.Joshua's little head nodded. "Okay."
City?Yes, the bigger the city, the higher the level of medical care."I can only tell you the result. If you want medical treatment, you should go to the city, or... Sea City. Sea City is the largest port city, and it is very developed in all aspects. Maybe she can be completely cured there," the doctor suggested.Gale never expected that she would hear the place name 'Sea City' being suggested to treat Nicole's leukemia!She nodded and said, "Okay, okay… Thank you, doctor."Gale stood up and started seeing double. She was shaking and almost lost her footing.She supported the table and forced herself to calm down. "By the way, doctor, how much is the approximate treatment cost?" The doctor said, "A conservative estimate, seven or eight hundred thousand."Seven or eight hundred thousand!Where would Gale get so much money!Aurum bought the apartment.She jumped into the sea and left to come here penniless, earning little by little.Could it be... should she go to find Aurum
"Mommy is worried about you, so I will take you to a big hospital in the city for a physical examination."Nicole shook her head immediately after hearing this. "No need, Mommy. I'm really better, don't worry about it. No more wasting money. I go to school tomorrow. I want to go to school. I miss my teachers and classmates!""Mommy has money, don't worry. Your body is more important."Nicole said, "Is it because of the doctor? He said... I have leukemia?"Gale's heart twitches violently."No, why would Nicole get this disease. Just listen to Mommy. I'll send you to kindergarten when you come back from the city, okay?" Gale said.Nicole nodded."Hey, I have to finish this bowl of soup.""You eat it too, Mommy. You've lost weight," Nicole said."Okay, I'll eat with you."Nicole turned his head. "Mrs. Zoe, you come too!"Zoe was hiding beside her and quietly wiping away her tears when she heard Nicole calling her. She quickly collected her emotions and replied with a smile, "Ok
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Aurum felt that he had not actually done anything for Gale.Four years.Gale had very, very little contact with Aurum, and it was all through Zoe.Every time he asked her if there was anything he could do to help or if she was missing anything, or if there was anything she needed him… Gale would answer in a relaxed tone, that everything was fine.She always rejected him."Aurum, you have helped me enough… How can I ask for more?"Aurum asked, "Then what about Nicole? This is not a trivial matter. Can't delay this!""I..."Aurum was still very firm in his decision. "Okay, it's settled. Take Nicole to check first. Tell me immediately if there is any trouble in the future, and I'll help you find a solution."He knew that Gale had a strong self-esteem, so she must be feeling very uncomfortable now, and Nicole's condition was so serious. He was afraid that she would have a nervous breakdown.So, Aurum said, "Just treat it as a loa
