The Strawberry-taste Promise Chapter 43
From that moment on, Jessica held a grudge against weak people, weak-looking people, and even herself. Jessica smiled at her father, mother, and brother, but the canthus of her eyes didn’t curl up even a bit. It is ironic that Jessica feels more at school than she does at home. She wouldn't have to wear this smiling mask when she was at school. “So, which category do you want to be in?” Henry smiled at Jessica, and said, “Are there any plans yet?” “Hmm, I th’ll do cheerleading, flower arrangement, piano, and dance.” Every student at Medrano competes in four or five categories. Compared to other schools, this number seems large, but in this prestigious school, this is completely normal. Jessica accepted the delicate porcelain plate from the servant, then she placed a piece of cloth on her lap, took the fork and knife, and prepared to eat the first dish. Henry also received a plate from the servant in the house. After picking up the knife, he asked Jessica again. His appearance was

Amanda snorted coldly and then looked at him, her brows furrowed. She didn’t seem to have much patience.“You have to wait a moment. There will be soon!”Michael looked at Vivia and gulped as she happily enjoyed her dinner.Vivia felt her father’s ardent gaze for her, or rather for her plate of noodles. She smiled slightly. After pushing the large plate of noodles in front of her father, she nodded.“Dad, eat! Hurry, watch out for my mom!”Michael emotional looked at Vivia. He wiped the invisible tears with his hand, then devoured the noodles, occasionally looking at his wife singing in the kitchen.Seeing her father’s stealthy appearance, Vivia smiled softly. She felt that her family was very good now, very peaceful.Michael still had some conscience. He ate only a little, then pushed the plate of noodles back to Vivia, “You eat. My dinner is coming soon!”Vivia also did not refuse. She nodded to her father, then continued to eat noodles.Looking at the only daughter sitting in front

[B Girl - Anna]: What happened between your father and mother? Do they look like they’re arguing?[The Freedom Knight - Vivia]: Not really arguing. My father angered my mother, so that’s how those two are now![B Girl - Anna]: Will nothing happen?Anna looked at Vivia’s father’s pitiful expression. He seemed in great pain.[The Freedom Knight - Vivia]: It’s okay, it’ll be fine. This is normal in my family![The Freedom Knight - Vivia] Don’t be fooled by my father’s fake face. He’s pretending to be in pain so that my mother can forgive him!Vivia is afraid that Anna will misunderstand, so she sends another message to explain the details to Anna.[B Girl - Anna]: If this is real, your family looks pretty funny!When Anna said this, she thought of her weak and seriously ill mother, and her heart ached a little.Today, her parents are visiting her grandparents, so they have not returned yet. Anna guessed maybe they were planning to stay there for a night.‘When will your mother be able to

“When did mom get sick? Is it serious? What did the doctor say?” In the taxi, Anna clutched one pocket of her long coat. Looks like there’s something important in there.Jimmy shook his head. He wasn’t very clear. Jimmy’s expression wasn’t much better than Anna’s now, his head leaning against the arm of the chair, eyes closed, sweat trickling down his temples.“I don’t know. After I got home from work, Dad called me because he couldn’t contact you. Then I ran home to find you, so I haven’t been to the hospital yet.” Jimmy sighed wearily, “However, I heard from Dad that the weather turned cold today, so Mom coughed a lot. Then she had a high fever and got sick. Looks like the situation is not very good!”Anna heard Jimmy and turned on the phone. Sure enough, the phone screen displayed dozens of missed calls from Jimmy and a text message from Brandon.Just now Anna was doing her French homework because she wanted to focus on completing it quickly. She turned off her phone, so she didn’t

Richard nodded. “Yes, because your mother’s tumor is a small tumor, so this time it’s just minor surgery.” This time, his expression was quite certain.Jimmy saw the sure look on his father’s face and gave a small nod of confidence.Anna remembered what kind of person her father was when she heard Jimmy's question. She didn't react in time because she was frightened. Anna recalled that her father had never mentioned the cost of surgery.Anna understood her father better than Jimmy did. So Anna asked.“Dad, how much is the hospital fee?”Richard avoided her gaze when he heard Anna's question. He mumbled.“Actually, it’s not too…”“How much?” Anna looked seriously at her father, his expression suspicious. Anna guessed that it wasn't cheap.After looking at Anna, Richard let out a heavy sigh.“Excluding the savings to buy medicine for your mother every week, the total money you work overtime, my salary this month is only more than half of the hospital bill.” Richard told the truth becaus

“If you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense. Just one month, the tumor has grown a lot, let alone three months!” Anna spoke slowly. It seemed she was much calmer than before. Perhaps the reason she was so calm was that her mother was still resting.But seeing Anna calm, Richard felt even more uneasy.“Three months later, the tumor may have spread to the surrounding organs. By that time, this surgery is not simply a minor surgery!”“If it weren’t for minor surgery, would the hospital bill still be that much?”“Or will hospital fees change again?”“Did you make it by then?”“Are you sure you’ll get the money you need?”The more Anna spoke, the more fervently she spoke, until the last sentence, she emphasized every word, making Richard fully aware of his mistake. If you are not careful, this will be a mistake that he will regret the rest of the way!Richard said nothing. He stared blankly at Cart. If Anna didn’t remind him, then worse consequences could happen.Richard does not feel offended

Knock! Knock! Knock! “Aish...” On the enormous bed, a young man with a large body was hiding under the blanket, his entire face was buried in the white pillow beside him. His muscular body and honey-colored skin combined with great chest muscles make him extremely hot. Hearing a knock on the door, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly, his eyes dreamily looking up at the clock on the opposite wall. “Hmm, 5 a.m… What the fuck! Who’s knocking on the door? Come in!!!” Seeing the time on the clock, Brandon swore. It’s only early in the morning, but someone knocks on his door, plus Brandon has a bad habit of waking up, so he’s extremely grumpy right now. Hearing his voice, the butler Gabriel spoke up, his voice still slow and gentle as usual. “Young master, it’s me, Gabriel, here. You have a call from Lady Diana Luisones.” “My mother? Diana?” Brandon sat up slowly, scratching his head, and asked Gabriel, “Why is she calling at this time?” Gabriel shook his head. “I’m not very clear

“If she calls again, just hang up the phone for me. I will take responsibility.” Brandon stepped out of bed with a grimace, his solid figure visible in the air. “Oh no,” Brandon reached over to pick up the phone he’d called his mother just now, pressing and holding a button on the side of the phone, “No need to turn off the phone anymore, I just power the phone off.” Brandon handed the phone back to Gabriel, then left the room. But before he went out the door, he added. “If my mother calls you, ignore it, Uncle Gabriel.” Watching Brandon leave, Gabriel sighed. Obviously mother and son, but Brandon and Diana’s relationship was nothing more than an adversary, which really worried him. ... “Hmm…” Brandon looked at Anna’s empty desk. Apparently, Anna didn’t go to school today. Normally, Anna is very diligent, because to receive the school’s allowance, she rarely misses school, but regularly goes to school every day to take attendance. So Anna is off today?! Brandon looked curiousl

Clatter!Ring… ring… ring.Anna closed the door, and as soon as she took her seat, the class bell rang. Anna wiped the sweat from her forehead, letting out a sigh of relief.Luckily, there’s still time!In addition to the condition that students receive scholarships, to receive allowance from the school, Anna must be present for attendance on time. In a month, do not let go late three times. If more than three times, then there will be no allowance in the first week of the following month.Therefore, every day Anna tries to go to school on time. Not to mention receiving allowance, but coming to school on time is the duty and responsibility of students.“Anna, why are you so late today?” Vivia sat next to Anna, while the teacher hadn’t arrived. She leaned closer to Anna, asking questions.‘Didn’t she say she was going to Vivia’s house? Why would Vivia ask that? Could it be that Anna didn’t come to Vivia’s house last night?’ Brandon, as usual, was still asleep on the table. But as soon

The place wasn’t very big, so Anna had to curl up to sit inside.A sleepless night taking care of Brandon, plus being in the rain for a long time, made Anna’s face look tired. Even working overtime rarely made her so tired.…Pipes, pipes.In the deep blue sky, the sun is rising, the warm sunlight shines through everything.In a small park, a girl slept under a slide for one night, her whole body hunched over, looking pitiful.Anna felt the sun shining in her eyes. She woke up dreamily.‘Oh, where is this?’ Anna was bewildered. Everything that happened last night flashed through her mind. ‘I didn't come home yesterday, that's right.’Suddenly remembering something, Anna hurriedly searched for her phone in her bag. Today is not a weekend, so she has to go to class in the morning.7:30 A.MAnna sees the number in the middle of the phone screen.After seeing this number, she quickly put on her bag and ran to school. Less than half an hour left, Medrano High School will officially start t

Brandon summarized the story he encountered today for Anna. But Anna assessed, compared to when talking with Ms. Bunny, Brandon seems to use less emotion in her sentences.‘As expected of men, they only like attractive people.’ The bunny suit that Anna wore while serving in the bar was quite sexy, and Brandon liked Ms. Bunny like that, so Anna guessed Brandon was quite fond of sexy girls.“Huh.” Brandon didn’t say anything. He just glanced at Anna, completely quieting her down. Okay, he’s a patient. Give him a moment, Anna told herself.“So, what do you want?” In the middle of a space with the only sound coming from the TV, the content Brandon suddenly said startled Anna.“What?” Anna still did not quite understand what Brandon meant. She felt that she never seemed to fully understand the sentences Brandon said.“I ask you again, what do you want?” Brandon repeated, his expression still as calm as ever.“Sorry, but I still don’t quite understand what you’re saying?” To put it bluntly,

In the kitchen, the heat radiated, Anna quickly stirred the pot of meat porridge, then added a little seasoning, and finally added little chopped scallions into the pot.It’s one o’clock in the morning, and Anna has texted her parents, informing them she will stay at Vivia’s house for the night. Vivia has been to her house a few times, so Anna’s parents know their daughter has a new best friend at school, and they welcome Vivia.Later, Anna also sent Vivia a message, instructing Vivia that, if Anna’s parents call, just say she is with Vivia.Clack!Anna put the lid on the pot after turning off the stove. The porridge is cooked. As long as Brandon wakes up, he can eat porridge.Recalling Brandon’s expression tonight, Anna noticed that he had two faces when he was with everyone.With close people, Brandon creates a feeling of friendliness and warmth. He can smile in front of them and can show his weak face without hesitation.With strangers, or just stopping at basic communication, such

“Hey, who cares about you? Bullshit!” Anna nodded after hearing the first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, she glared. For some reason, Brandon found Ann at that moment so cute.Brandon smiled, then the two walked silently to the house Brandon had described earlier.Although it was pitch black, under the gentle light of the street lamps, Anna could still glimpse the house with dark orange tiles, the four walls covered with moss, and the moss-like vines, constantly crawling to different positions. The house seemed to be quite old and must have existed here for a long time.Not far from the house was a large mulberry tree, vines winding around its trunk. Some foliage points up to the sky, and some fall back down, looking very lively. Sometimes there is wind, and the leaves sway like scared something.“It’s an old house, isn’t it?” Anna stood in the distance, squinting at the front. “It looks like the house was built in the twentieth century, around 1485 onwards, right?

“The price is fourteen dollars and fifty-nine cents.” A quick voice said, “Here’s your change. Have a nice day. Thank you for visiting our store.”Anna saw off the last customer in the convenience store, then twisted the ‘close’ face of the open-close sign board hanging in front of the glass door. She let out a long breath after wiping the sweat off her forehead. Finished the shift today!Anna’s shift today didn’t end so late. As usual, she could go home at 9 am, but the person on duty reported that she can't come today, so Anna tried to work until eleven o’clock at night.Her parents and younger brother were asleep now.Family members have been doing this for many years. Anna is the only one who comes home late from work, leading to her rest time being later than everyone else.Today is also a late day for Anna.It is past eleven-thirty in the evening. Almost no one walking like Anna could be found on the road. She wandered the streets, following the path back home.Oh?!Anna looked

After drinking a wake up soup, Brandon gradually regained consciousness. He rubbed his head, and tiredly lay on the bed, reminiscing about the whole day.Suddenly remembering the pink piece of paper that had been returned, Brandon jumped, opened his backpack, and took out a very wrinkled pink piece of paper.‘Maybe she have solved that problem?’ Brandon speculated.But before long, the entire detailed solution of the Olympic problem that gave Brandon a headache was written on the back of the piece of paper.‘Really?’ Brandon still couldn’t believe this fact.“Hmm…”Brandon mused, if that’s the case, then this means he has to fulfill his promise to do something for Anna.Really? Does he have to do something for her?The joy of meeting Ms. Bunny disappeared in an instant, Brandon thought for a long time. In his mind was the image of Anna with a malicious expression asking him to do shameful things.Although Brandon had anticipated this, the thought of doing something for Anna still made

“You know, Peter is my closest friend. I felt very ashamed when I saw my mother hurt him.” Brandon sighed in a voice filled with sadness. “I know he won’t notice, but I hate my mother. She is authoritarian.”Brandon was in a bad mood that day, and finally, Anna understood why.“Is your friend getting better?” Anna asked.Brandon nodded. “He wasn’t badly hurt. His face and hands were hurt, but most of the debris went to the outside of his jacket.”“Maybe Peter will go to school soon.” Brandon thought, then added.Anna listened. She sympathized with Brandon and understood why he ignored the note she had sent him this morning.However, Anna must be very careful, in case Brandon knows Bunny is Anna, his classmate.Not that Anna couldn’t tell Brandon who she was, but she didn’t want too many people to know she worked here, especially as Brandon was also her classmate.Brandon and Anna had been here for two hours. It was now past nine o’clock in the evening. The bar has become more crowded.

"Wait? Wait until when? You've said this almost ten times already!" Jessica will bite her lip, her beautiful face is fierce. This afternoon, after lunch, Jessica saw Brandon, Anna, and a few others gathered together. Looks like they're discussing something. Maybe it's a new plan! But for what purpose, Jessica completely did not know. Although she was curious about what they were discussing, Jessica couldn't hear anything. This made her extremely angry. Because she was upset, Jessica hired someone to observe the actions of Anna and the others. The person Jessica hired was the same person who locked Anna in the toilet last time. "You have to understand me. They're very quiet, so I couldn't hear them directly. I can only track their movements, then report back to you!” On the other end of the line, the familiar voice spoke again, her tone looking flattered. After thinking for a while, Jessica agreed Ok so after you follow me they're total remember to report everything to me I mus
