Chapter 439
At this moment.
Lucas was playing games alone in his bedroom. When he had just finished a round, a message suddenly appeared.
– Brother Lucas.
When he saw those words, his lips curled slightly. He seemed to have thought of something and sent a message.
– Yes.
“Brother Lucas, can I get you?” I want to see you.
Seeing that, he hesitated for a moment before sending a message.
“How are you going to find me?”
– I worked hard to save money. Now that I’ve had enough, I can buy a bus ticket and take a taxi to pick you up.
Lucas’ eyebrows arched. His grip on the phone tightened involuntarily.
“You are still so young. You can’t go far alone.
“Brother Lucas, you don’t have to worry about me. I just wanted to ask you if you were ready to see me.
Lucas’ gaze gradually became firm.
– I’m.
The other party immediately sent a happy emoji. After saying goodbye, he logged out.
Lucas looked at that person’s profile picture and gradually fell into deep thought.
He lowered his gaze slightly. He had known Ornella for a long time. Previously, when playing games, he wanted to get the top spot on the national server. As her level was about the same as his when he was young, he often crossed paths with her.
After some time, the two got to know each other. To be precise, they got to know each other without fighting.
They were all junglers. Once, Ornella wanted to send a voicemail, and she accidentally sent it.
At that point, he realized she was around his age.
Since they were of similar age, they had many common topics to discuss. Gradually they became good friends.
She lived in Sancity when she was young. It was close to the sea and the tourism industry was more developed.
However, he heard from her that because her mother was sick, she had to go to work to earn money to cure her mother’s illness.
Because of her young age, strangers often intimidated her and deducted her salary.
When she was young, she even said that her mother had a child out of wedlock. She received everyone’s disdain and was looked down upon by nearby neighbors.
When she was young, her biggest dream was to leave Sancity with her mother in the future so that her mother could live an easy and happy life.
At the thought that he would soon meet Ornella, Lucas couldn’t help but feel excited.
Right now in Sancity.
Sancity was a city with a big gap between rich and poor. The rich were extremely wealthy and the poor lived in slums and worried about food every day.
A young woman with a low ponytail was crouched on the ground, adding firewood to the stove. His clothes had been washed until they were a little white. This dress had been given to her by her neighbor.
After a long time, the girl heard the sound of Chinese medicine in the bubbling medicine jar. Only then did she carefully pour the medicine into a bowl.
Carefully, she carried the freshly prepared Chinese medicine to the bedroom.
Before reaching the bedroom door, a woman was coughing. She frowned slightly and entered quickly.
When the woman sitting in the room heard footsteps, she quickly suppressed her cough and put her hair back briefly, revealing a pale, beautiful face.
She was only twenty-five, but she was extremely beautiful.
She had a fragile beauty, as if she were an exquisite doll that no one dared touch.
The only bad thing was that she was missing her left arm.
Ornella walked over to the bed with the medicine and said softly,
“Mom, the medicine is ready. After drinking it, everything will be fine!
Selena Mills did her best to smile slightly. She looked at Ornella, who had approached her.
It had been five years.
When she was young, her eyebrows gradually grew and she looked more and more like this person.
His fox eyes were smiling slightly and under his small nose was a small cherry mouth. She looked exquisite, like a pretty doll in a merchandise shop.
Even though she was wearing old clothes, it couldn’t hide her noble aura at all.
His aura was incompatible with this slum.
Selena Mills was slightly dazed.
Ornella smiled and reminded him,
– Mom, drink the medicine while it’s hot.
When she heard Ornella’s words, she took the medicine with guilt. Her eyes instantly turned red as she said,
“I’m sorry, Ornella. Mom was incompetent. Mom …
– Mom.
Ornella frowned and said seriously:
“Ornella is no longer a child. Ornella can take good care of mom!
“If Mom had been healthy, you wouldn’t have to work so hard when you were young. Mom was a burden to you. As Selena Mills spoke, her eyes grew redder and tears welled up in her eyes.
When Ornella heard Selena Mills’ words, she took a deep breath and said:
“Mom, I’m already an adult. I can earn a lot of money. Tomorrow we will go to An City to look for grandfather. Grandpa and grandma will certainly be very happy to see you. Then mom’s illness will recover!
– But …
“Mom, take your time drinking the medicine. I am going to cook.
With that, she walked out.
Selena Mills watched Ornella leave. When she disappeared from the door, the guilt on her face immediately disappeared, replaced by coldness.
She stood up, her lips curled into a mocking smile. She walked to the window and poured the medicinal soup from the bowl.
His eyes were as cold as ice and his lips were filled with disdain.
Awesome.
She could finally leave this place.
Her good days hadn’t come yet.
