Chapter 501<\/p>\n
When Mary spoke up, not only did it make Stella more curious about Cherise, but even Jagger, who was sitting beside her, seemed intrigued.<\/p>\n
Stella and Jagger hadn\u2019t been sitting for long. They mentioned wanting to have a drink, but Lucas didn\u2019t come up with it again.<\/p>\n
The reason for their visit was that Stella hadn\u2019t been back home in a long time and she wanted to catch up with them.<\/p>\n
Since they had already seen each other and were in good health, it was time to leave so as not to disturb Lucas and Mary\u2019s<\/p>\n
rest.<\/p>\n
Before they left, they exchanged contact information, promising to stay in touch whenever possible.<\/p>\n
Once they were gone, Mary turned to Lucas. \u201cStella has everything going for her. Why would she choose to stay single forever?<\/p>\n
\u201cBack when we were neighbors, so many wealthy young men came to propose, but her mother turned them all down. I just don\u2019t get it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas looked back at her. \u201cDidn\u2019t you just say that women who are financially independent and capable can live alone happily? What\u2019s with the sudden change of heart?\u201d<\/p>\n
Caught off guard by Lucas\u2019s words, Mary became a bit embarrassed. \u201cI was just comforting her. I can\u2019t exactly tell her directly to straight up to marry some old guy because she\u2019s not that young anymore.<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, the world is like that, but as parents, we always want the best for our children. My thinking is sometimes traditional, sometimes progressive. She\u2019s amazing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just feel sorry for her. Look at Cherise. She\u2019s got both love and a successful career. Anyone would envy her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas gave her a dismissive glance. \u201cYou\u2019re always like this. But you know, when Mr. Walton brought his daughter along today, I got the feeling that there\u2019s more to it than just the small talk.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not the type of person who goes out much, but for the sake of his children, he can make an exception.\u201d As Lucas spoke, a hint of suspicion crept into his voice.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
In the car on the way back, Jagger spoke slowly. \u201cDid you get the answer you were looking for?\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella nodded. \u201cYes, thank you for coming with me, Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jagger closed his eyes. \u201cMary is a bit naive, and that\u2019s nothing to worry about. Lucas is different. Whether he\u2019s suspicious, I\u2019m<\/p>\n
not sure.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter all, I\u2019ve been out of the public eye for so many years. It\u2019s only natural for him to have some doubts. How it turns out, well, that\u2019s up to your luck.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella didn\u2019t reply, quietly gazing out the window. A few minutes later, her phone rang. She answered calmly. \u201cHello, this is<\/p>\n
Stella.\u201d<\/p>\n
The voice on the other end said, \u201cMs. Walton, good afternoon. This is the Translation Bureau. We\u2019ve received your recommendation letter. Please report to the Translation Bureau at 9 AM tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be an important meeting that requires your assistance. Before you report, you\u2019ll need to go to the hospital for a pre\u2013employment medical check\u2013up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, thank you for the notification. I\u2019ll be there on time,\u201d Stella replied politely before hanging up.<\/p>\n
Jagger, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them. That was from the Translation Bureau, wasn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Stella answered truthfully.<\/p>\n
\u304f<\/p>\n
Jagger nodded in satisfaction. \u201cDo your best. I have full confidence in your abilities. It\u2019s a new environment, a new life.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the Specialized Pediatric Ward in Betrico Hospital, Clara, who was lying on the bed, asked Hank, \u201cHank, I feel much better today. Can I go back to the orphanage? Can I go back to school?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank handed Clara a cherry tomato and spoke patiently. \u201cClara, be good. You need to stay in the hospital for a few more days. Your blood sugar is still unstable, and something like what happened yesterday could happen again.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it happens at the orphanage, we can handle it, but if it happens at school or on the way to and from school, it could be troublesome. Plus, it was Ms. Leach who recommended that you stay in the hospital for more check\u2013ups.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara\u2019s eyes lit up. \u201cMs. Leach asked me to stay in the hospital for a check\u2013up? Okay, I\u2019ll listen to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, Ms. Leach is so gentle. She smells so nice and she\u2019s really capable. I want to be like her when I grow up.<\/p>\n
Hank, listening, couldn\u2019t help but smile.<\/p>\n
Although he was only two years older than Clara, Hank seemed much more mature.<\/p>\n
He gently patted Clara\u2019s head. \u201cBelieve in yourself. You can do it<\/p>\n
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and it opened to reveal Cherise.<\/p>\n
Both Hank and Clara were pleasantly surprised to see her.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Leach, are you here to see me again?\u201d Clara said happily.<\/p>\n
www<\/p>\n
Hank, surprised to see Cherise arrive so early, couldn\u2019t help but feel both surprised and pleased.<\/p>\n
He thought for a moment and then couldn\u2019t take his eyes off her<\/p>\n
Cherise closed the door behind her and slowly walked over to the bed. She gently stroked Clara\u2019s head and said, \u201cClara, did you do well with your injections today?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise looked down at Clara\u2019s thigh, where there was a bruise from an insulin shot, and pursed her lips.<\/p>\n
Clara, hearing Cherise\u2019s question, eagerly nodded. \u201cYes, Ms. Leach, I\u2019ve been good! I want to get better quickly and go back to school. When I grow up, I want to be as capable as you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled softly. \u201cGood job. Now, I\u2019m going to help you get better. I\u2019ll be giving you several more injections, and it might hurt a little. Is that okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara\u2019s face lit up at the thought of getting better. \u201cI\u2019m fine with it! I\u2019m used to the pain.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-524","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
