"How about this?" Comfort looked at Thomas and said, "Transfer Mom to a hospital at Second Best Level where the price of ICU won't be so high. Then we can hire her a guardian with higher pay."Hehe.They already made a good plan.I would pay for the hospitalization fee and they would pay for the care fees.The monthly pay of a caretaker was only two days' cost of the hospitalization expenses but I had no choice. I didn't want Judith to be stripped off the breathing machine so early.Thomas agreed with Comfort's idea.The two of them immediately made a phone call and transferred Judith to a Second Best Level Hospital.With expenses of ICU and others counting together, it would cost about 5 thousand dollars a day if Judith was transferred there.Compared with the expenses of the first Hospital, the expenses there were much more affordable.The next day, they transferred Judith.I went to check on the situation of the new hospital and found that the conditions indeed couldn't be on par w

After the coffee we had ordered was served, Thomas said, "Reed, your grandmother was transferred to a Second Best Level Hospital. She will only cost you more than a few thousand dollars a month. You surely have a lot of money left in your pocket after you sold the apartment, don't you?"I immediately understood why he had come to me humbly.He was lusting for my money."Enough!" I pushed the coffee in front of me and took out a banknote of 100 dollars from my bag. I placed it on the table and added, "I will reserve the rest of the money for Grandma's hospitalization fees. I won't lend it to anyone. I won't even touch it."After that, I got up and left.Thomas chased after me to the door, "Reed, I'm not asking you for help. I'm borrowing the money from you. My company is in need of capital recently..."I refused firmly, "I'm sorry, I can't help you.""Reed.""Mr. Thomas, you'd better call me Reed Defiant. You cut off your relationship with me. Have you forgotten about it?"As soon as a

I couldn't hear Helen's answer but I could see the look on Thomas' face had became a little stiff.He looked at me and said, "Grilled chicken sandwich, salmon, and...""Stop it. Mr. Thomas, these are Lita's favorite not mine."When I asked him that question, I had a sort of unrealistic expectation in my heart but when Thomas spoke, I gave up.Lita couldn't eat greasy dishes so the dishes she liked were all light however, I liked greasy dishes.I walked to the subway entrance. Thomas chased me and asked me to go to his house as he apologized.I would have gone with him but his request was a little unusual.The more he looked like this, the more I felt something was wrong. It seemed to be a feast with ulterior motives.I feared I wouldn't come back alive if I followed him.I scanned my subway card and went in. He wanted to chase after me but only one with the pass can walk through the gate.He, who was stopped outside, couldn't come in.The staff next to him also shouted, "Sir, you can

There wasn't even a single car on the road tonight.The sky was dark and there weren't any stars nor the moon.It was unknown as to how long I had been running. Finally, I saw two beams of light breaking through the dark streets and flying toward me."Stop!""Stop!"I rushed straight to the front of the car without thinking.It was so late and the harsh braking sound was particularly ear piercing in the quiet night but the car still didn't stop.Bang! It hit me, causing me to fly backward.I was thrown backward only a few meters away.A man got off the car quickly and asked, "Are you alright?"Although I felt my legs were somewhat in pain, I didn't have time to think about that. I limped forward and said sadly, "Sir, please send me to the Hospital down town."When I got close to the driver...He called out, "Reed Defiant?""Mr. Oogway?"I never expected I would meet Oogway of all people in such a big City.He bent over to check on my legs and asked with more concern, "Are you okay? I

It was as if what's going on right now wasn't reality, but a dream and after I wake up, Judith would still be alive...By the time I turned around again, every one of the Defiant Family had left.Oogway insisted on sending me home however, when I came to my senses, I found that he had driven to Unit No.1.I, who was a little embarrassed, explained to Oogway, "I moved out of here. I no longer live here.""I know." Oogway parked the car, got out and opened the door of the passenger seat for me, saying, "You will stay at my place tonight.""What?"I sat in the car and looked at him in a daze.Oogway looked at me while adjusting his glasses, "There is a guest bedroom in my apartment. I won't be at ease if I let you go home alone tonight and don't worry, you're the beloved one of Dave. I won't do anything to you."After Oogway finished his words, he smiled faintly.His words stung me deeply..Am I the beloved one of Dave?That is clearly false.I believed Oogway wouldn't do anything to me

"Give it back to you? You are dreaming!" Over the phone, Lita's voice became fierce as she said, "Reed, be very clear about what you have done! Let me tell you, if I can't get Dave, then I will be doomed together with you!"Her words reminded me of the photos I had sent a few weeks ago.I, who had been concentrated on Judith's matter, forgot about it.I snorted and said, "Lita, you messed up your own private life. It has nothing to do with me!""Nothing to do with you? If it weren't for you, would I be like this? Do you think I don't know you complained to Dave about my private life? Otherwise, how could he have treated me like that?""How did he treat you?" I asked curiously.Could it be that what Dave once said is true?Over the phone, Lita was silent. After a while, she said, "Let me tell you, I won't give your laptop back to you!""Oh."I hung up.Now that Judith had passed away. The ten million dollars in my bank account was no longer reserved for anyone.I could afford to buy an

Outside, Comfort sorted out the signature book and said to me without even looking up, "Reed Defiant, when my mother was alive, she was the only one that recognized you as a member of the Defiant Family. We didn't refuse to recognize you because of her feelings. Now my mother has passed away. You are no longer a member of the Defiant Family.""Do you think I will care about it? I always knew my grandmother was the only relative I got." After I said that, I took two steps forward. Thinking of something, I walked back and said to her, "I would be here on the day of Grandmother's funeral and it will be the last time you'll see me!"At this moment, Comfort raised her head to look at me with a complicated expression in her eyes.Before she could say anything, I walked away.As soon as I went out, I saw Oogway's car parked with him next to the car.When he saw me, he smiled faintly.As I approached him, I hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you."Oogway seemed to have noticed my strange

I handed the broken lens and arm to him saying awkwardly, "Sorry. Seeing that the glasses was about to slip down your nose, I planned to take them off safely for you."Oogway lowered his head and checked his glasses. He frowned slightly and said, "This pair of glasses had been with me for several years. I have grown attached to it.""I'm sorry." Hearing his words, I felt even more sorry. I hurriedly added, "How about I order you another similar one?""This pair of glasses was produced several years ago. It surely has been out of stock."When Oogway spoke, his expression was serious, which I rarely saw.I regretted it so much, thinking I shouldn't have helped him take off his glasses. He had comforted me with good intentions but I ended up crushing his glasses under my buttock...When I was struggling in my heart, Oogway suddenly placed his hand on top of my head, rubbed my hair, and said, "If you do order one with me, I will forgive you.""Huh?"I looked up at him blankly."Didn't yo

Looking at me coldly, Dave seemed to be thinking about something and failed to say anything for a long time.About seven or eight seconds later, I was about to leave. Then Dave suddenly said, "Yes, you are right."I thought there was something wrong with my ears.His voice was a little hoarse and sentimental.Before I could say anything, Dave continued, "I really shouldn't force you to bear any child for me again. With our current relationship, it's really not appropriate for us to have a child.""I..."His attitude changed so fast that I didn't know what to say for a while.But he said first, "Sorry."After that, he turned around to leave.I stood in the night and watched him walking into the darkness bit by bit. For no reason, I felt reluctant to see him leave."Wait a minute!"I wasn't reconciled once again!I took a few steps, went up to the front of his car, and grabbed Dave's hand. When he stopped, I hugged him from behind, "What's wrong with you? Are you going to leave or stay?

I hesitated for a moment and finally opened the door slightly.Seeing me open the door, Jason surveyed me up quickly and looked inside the room, looking a little nervous, "Are... Are you okay?""Yes." I reluctantly curled up the corner of my lips, "Well, I'm going to close the door. We have something to do. You can leave first. Cook and have a meal with Bryan first."I made my position quite clear.Jason looked quite reluctant. He stood there for a long time. It seemed that he was not willing to leave.But I closed the door.After I turned around, I saw dense sarcasm in Dave's eyes. And he said, "What's wrong with you? Are you sad because you hurt your kept man?""Shut up!" I looked up at Dave and asked reluctantly, "What on earth happened? How did you become like this?""Huh? Do you want to know?" Dave stretched out his hand and directly pulled me into his arms.He turned over and pressed me under his body. He looked down at me and said, "I risked my life for you. And you kept a love

Looking at Bryan, I felt a heart wrenching pain. However, I didn't know how to comfort him.At this time, Jason on the side raised his hand to rub Bryan's hair and said, "Of course, your dad won't do that. Every father in the world loves his children the most. Of course, your dad surely won't abandon you.""Is it true?""It's true!" Jason nodded with certainty.He pushed the shopping cart away.Looking at the bottle of energy drink that Dave had put down, somehow, I picked it up and put it in the shopping cart.After we went back home that night, I cooked. And Jason accompanied Bryan to build Lego.Everything was as usual.Ding. Dong.Someone rang the doorbell.Jason went to open the door. I stood aside and felt a little puzzled. After all, no one would visit me.After Jason opened the door, I saw a look of surprise on his face.The next second, I saw Dave pushing him away and stepping into the room. Looking around, he saw me, went straight over, and grabbed my arm, saying, "Let's

The next day, Jason arrived with a leather suitcase.Bryan was so happy. It was also a Friday.Originally, Jason was about to leave at night. However, Bryan insisted on not letting him go. Whatever I said, he wouldn't listen to me.In the end, we couldn't persuade Bryan, so I had to let Jason stay overnight...That day seemed to be a turning point.Since that day, Jason had been living in my home. Occasionally, he would go back to school but most of the time, he lived here.I trusted him. Usually, I would leave a few hundred dollars at home and ask him to go out to the supermarket to buy things for me.What's more, after Jason stayed here on weekends, I could go to the driving school to learn to drive over the weekends, which benefited me and significantly shorten the duration of getting a driving license.Because I could go to the driving school on the weekends, I passed the vehicle driving license exam of subject three soon. After that, I made a reservation for subject four.To cel

I knew that Jason surely knew where he should have put the Lego piece. It was just that he used this method to make Bryan think on his own.The two of them were having a good time at this time. When I entered the room, neither Jason nor Bryan noticed me.Within a day, the two of them got along with each other so well. Only then did I feel that Jason was quite reliable.I changed my shoes and walked inside.Jason quickly stood up and said, "Sister Alina, let me prepare dinner for you.""No, let me do it." I looked at my watch and found that it was past six p.m. Then I said, "Go back to school now.""Okay." Jason nodded his head.Cleaning up the Lego pieces on the ground, Jason promised Bryan that he would piece the Lego with him tomorrow and left.After I finished cooking and asked Bryan to have dinner, Bryan stared at me and said, "Mom, can you pay brother Jason more so that he can accompany me longer?"I was stunned. And I immediately wondered whether Jason had asked Bryan to say s

A week later, Jason came to my house for the first time on a Monday.I got up at 7 a.m, changed my clothes, and went downstairs, planning to cook. Ding!Ding! My cell phone rang.It was a text from Jason, which read, "Sister Alina, I'm at the door of your house. If you are up, please open the door for me."I opened the door quickly.I saw Jason standing at the door in a light blue T shirt. Rolling up the sleeves to his shoulders, he revealed his skinny and yet muscular arms. With a pair of sports shorts on his lower body, a pair of sneakers, and white socks on.The morning sunlight shone on his face and shone into his eyes, making him outgoing and bright."Why did you come so early?" I was a little surprised.Jason said seriously, "Sister Scarlett told me that you are quite busy, asking me to come here to make breakfast early. After I arrived here, fearing that you hadn't woken up, I waited at the door for a while. After hearing that there was movement inside, I sent the text."For

Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing all news related to me.In the end, my life went to as peaceful as it used to be.The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.I transformed one of Judith's guest rooms into Bryan's room and got him back to my side.If Bryan went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.It just so happened that Marie found a kindergarten offering a semi boarding service for Aurelia. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Marie would pick her up and take her home on weekends.According to Marie, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Bryan there as well.Since Bryan wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time.Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.Once I beca

I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se

Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket.
