“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
The weather was now colder than when Anna started attending Medrano High School.When Anna entered school, the weather had just turned to autumn, and the air was still a little hot in summer. But now, in the air, there is always a faint cold mist that makes people get goosebumps.Through the window, the weak light of the sun crept through the small slits of leaves imprinted on the glass, forming dim points of light.Anna stared at the tiny spot of light in the window glass with fascination. She felt them like little fireflies that glowed in broad daylight.Anna is very fond of fireflies. She once had a wonderful memory of their appearance. So fireflies are Anna’s favorite animals.Compared to the simple and warm light in front of her eyes, Anna’s mind was a mess inside.Yesterday, Anna just accepted a job that she thought was not safe. According to Sera, Anna only needs to go with Sera to some parties a few times. After going a few times with Sera, Anna will have enough money to do su
Lost in that thought, Brandon replied. “No, Dad. I’m free this afternoon. What’s up?” Although Brandon always said that he didn’t need his parents’ love anymore, deep down in his soul, Brandon still wanted his parents to take care of him. ... “If you are not busy this afternoon, go have dinner with some other people. They are all acquaintances. Including Henry of the Roadlamp!” Mr. Harold spoke casually, but the order was so clear that Brandon could not refuse. “Okay.” Brandon replied, his expression no longer cheerful, his eyes even colder than when Anna first saw him. Brandon didn’t want to go to this dinner, but given the order Harold had given him, Brandon had never once refused. “Good.” In Harold’s voice, Gabriel heard a tiny comfort. “At seven in the evening, the specific location I will send to your driver. Remember to be on time.” Brandon watched the call quickly end, his eyes devo
“Thank you. You are so sweet, Jimmy!” Anna smiled and got out of her room in pink high heels.Time is approximately on!Sera said, if Anna is late or not present, Sera will depend on the extent of the mistake that Anna committed to reduce or get back all the money that she gave to Anna in advance.Today Anna wears a white Greek goddess-style dress. Her hair is in a high bun, plus her hot red lips and blushing cheeks make Anna look extremely beautiful and pure.“Hello Sera, I’m come here.” Anna calls Sera, now she is standing in front of a large and luxurious hotel.“Oh, are you already here? Okay, in a moment, another woman will lead you to our room. Then we’ll wait a little longer.” Sera shortly summarized today’s schedule for Anna. Despite talking on the phone, Anna could still feel Sera’s deadly charm.“Okay, I know.” Anna hung up the phone, taking a deep breath. Having come here anyway, she won’t allow herself to retreat anymore!While waiting for the person Sera had introduced ov
“Hey, Hey, Brandon has finally arrived. Let's get him a drink!"“That’s right, that’s right, those who are late should have a drink!”In a luxury room at a luxury hotel, a table is placed in the center. The ceiling is decorated by a sophisticated ceiling lamp with simple and splendid motifs.More than five people were sitting at the table, including young and old, men and women. On the table, countless dishes were smoking, and the fragrant scent wafted through the room. They laughed and talked non-stop, the laughter was extremely refreshing, but none of them felt really happy.On the four sides of the room were large men in black suits standing guard, their faces cold. At first glance, they looked like stone statues, neither moving nor blinking.Even when Brandon entered, the men in black suits didn't even glance at him, their eyes fixed on the table in the center of the room.Brandon tugged his tie lightly around his neck. Usually, he dresses comfortably, and the buttons are not butt
However, because Harold's family background and corporate wealth were the largest among the corporations here, so Brandon's position was also the highest among the people here. Therefore, most people present in this room must behave based on Brandon's attitude.In the luxurious room that should have been filled with laughter and everyone's voices, now under Brandon's influence, no one dared to say anything. Even Henry, always confident in his position, had to give in.However, people give in to Brandon just not only because he was the son of the oil king Harold, but also because of his smart mind in terms of business. The story that when Brandon was fourteen years old, he saved a large corporation by glancing at the money statistics has been widely circulated. Even Brandon's hater, Henry, had heard about this story, which made him even more jealous of Brandon.…“Sera, how much longer do we have to wait?” Anna looked at the clock on her phone screen, she had been waiting in this room
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
