Yoel thought to himself, ‘I’m an idiot if I eat another pistachio in my life!’ Emily
nonchalantly peeled off the pistachio shell and chatted with Yoel. “Brother Rich, did I cause you a lot of
trouble because I like you?”
Yoel was so moved to hear that and almost cried. The child finally realized the trouble she had caused
him!
“Yes, that’s right, I feel very troubled.” Yoel was not afraid of hurting Emily’s feelings at all. He said to
her sternly, “Kid, you should focus on studying and improving yourself daily. Don’t think about falling in
love all the time. That’s for adults.” “Oh.” Emily lowered her head sullenly and retorted softly, “I’m good
at studying. Besides, many are pursuing me in school. However, my brother said they’re all unworthy
and told me to open my eyes to the world around me.” Yoel silently pressed his lips. Were all children
now so precocious?
She was so young. Why did she know so much?
“Yoel.” Emily raised her face and gazed at him with her clear eyes. “You can dislike me, but please
don’t hate me?” Yoel saw the hint of timidness in her clear eyes. He wanted to say that he did not hate
her, but in the end, all he said was a single word, “Okay.” At last, the little one smiled joyfully.
Jace felt like an eternity had passed while he waited outside. He was very nervous.
Recently, he took Freya to the hospital for a health examination. The doctor said that her leg was
injured badly, so it would be difficult for her legs to recover. He did not expect things to turn around, and
there was hope. Fortunately, they were blessed. After many years of desperation, they finally saw a
glimmer of hope again.
The door finally opened, and Sage came out of the room with a hopeful smile on her face. “Sage!” Jace
walked to her with a nervous look. “How is it? Can she recover?”
Sage answered with a faint hum. Her faint hum was very soft, but it gave Jace renewed hope and
confidence. He was overjoyed and hugged Sage in excitement. “That’s great! That’s great to hear!” It
was indeed great news, but why was he hugging her? Sage wrinkled her brows and pushed him away
gently.
“I’m sorry… I got too excited…” Jace looked a little shy, but mostly he was overwhelmed with joy.
Sage remained calm. It was her first time seeing him smile so happily after years of knowing him. It
was like he was relieved after finally lifting a burden off his chest.
A man in a suit and leather shoes walked down the corridor. Sage glanced over and saw Lucas
approaching them. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes as if he had overheard their conversation
earlier.
“Jace, your mom has hopes of recovery, right?” Jace could not hold his smile anymore. His face
instantly turned cold. He answered Lucas coldly, “That is none of your business.” Lucas pursed his lips.
“Freya’s injured leg has been a thorn in my heart. I feel very sorry for her. Hopefully, she can stand
again soon.” Sage listened to his seemingly emotional words and scoffed.
