Chapter 691


    Chapter 691 Sending Yasmin To School


    Cassidy gazed thoughtfully at the little girl before her. “Then again, you''re growing up fast and can''t be


    clinging to me like this forever. It''s time to send you to school.”


    Upon hearing that, Yasmin frowned. “I don''t want to!”


    “That''s not up to you,” Cassidy retorted as she finished her packet of nuts and stepped out the door. “I''ll


    talk to Curtis about it. Since he''s so rich, we can get him to find you some good schools as our reward


    for treating Belle.”


    Realizing that the woman wasn''t joking around, Yasmin followed behind worriedly. “Ms. Cassidy, I don''t


    want to go to school...”


    “No way. All kids must have an education,” Cassidy insisted. “Besides, starting school at your age is


    already consideredte. I''d have sent you off earlier if it weren''t for the issue with your household


    registration.”


    As it turned out, a sessful household registration required a valid ID card and either a parent or


    older family member acting as the legal guardian. Naturally, Cassidy couldn''tplete the registration


    process because she was neither Yasmin''s family nor her appointed guardian. More importantly, she


    was dirt poor.


    After all, the money she earned from selling herbs was only enough to cover both of their daily


    expenses. There was no way she''d be able to cope with the additional fees if Yasmin were to attend


    school.


    On top of that, Cassidy had to head out frequently to gather herbs, so where would she find the time to


    take care of Yasmin? Therefore, the best solution would be to entrust thetter to someone reliable


    who could get her into a school and tend to her needs.


    Given that Isabelle''s husband, Curtis, is from a wealthy family, I''m sure I can strike a deal with him!


    Meanwhile, Rayna had just woken up and found herself lying in bed in the guest room.


    When she heard some noises outside, she quickly peered out the window, only to see Curtis and Robin


    walking into the house.


    “Why have you moved all the luggage here?” she asked as she looked at Curtis.


    “Well, we''re staying here for the time being,” thetter replied before letting Furry out of the cage he


    was carrying.


    Furry jumped excitedly onto the bed as soon as it saw Rayna, which woke the other little creature


    curled up beside the woman.

    Rayna''s instinct was to catch Furry and stop it from approaching Fluffy, but s, she wasn''t quick


    enough.


    Robin, on the other hand, was baffled. Hmm... This creature''s very simr to Furry except for its fur


    color and ears. What''s it doing here, though? “Why is there another one, Mr. Faymon?”


    “Someone gave it to us,” Curtis replied impassively. Speaking of that someone, I have to admit I''m


    getting increasingly curious about Fernando Zeller...


    Rayna couldn''t help but nce at the two creatures about to get into a fight. “How long will we be


    staying here, then?”


    “It depends,” Curtis answered as he calmly ced the cage beside a cab.


    The purpose of this trip is to cure Rayna''s eyes, but if there''s an opportunity to get rid of the blood


    parasite in her body, I won''t let it slip away, either. There''s no doubt Cassidy knows a lot more than me.


    That''s why I hope she''ll be able to cure Raynapletely.


    “But we''ve been away from home for so long. Don''t we have to go back at some point?” Rayna


    muttered. The next second, she waved a hand in front of her eyes, only to realize her vision was


    getting blurry again.


    Needless to say, she was terrified. What if the return of her sight was merely temporary? What if she


    became blind for good?


    “I miss our children,” she whispered.


    With that, Curtis turned to look at his wife and caught the sliver of sadness on her face.


    “Let''s give it a few more days. Once Ms. Cassidy has made some progress, we''ll head home for a bit,”


    he reassured as he unpacked Rayna''s clothes and hung them neatly in the wardrobe.


    After hearing his promise, Rayna was instantly cheered up.


    At that moment, Robin heard footstepsing from the stairs and popped out of the room to check.


    Thankfully, it was only Cassidy and Yasmin.


    “Hello, Cassidy,” Rayna greeted when she saw the pair through the window.


    Cassidy walked to the door and smiled, her gaze alternating between Curtis and Rayna. “Do you mind


    if I borrow your husband for a few minutes?”


    Annoyed by that request, Curtis fixed a cold-eyed stare on the woman as he closed the suitcase and


    stood up.


    To his surprise, Rayna wasn''t in the least bit fazed. “Whatever you have to say, you can say it here.”


    “Ah, it''s no big deal... Not to you guys, anyway. It is, however, important to me,” Cassidy said before


    pulling Yasmin in front of her. “Could I ask you guys for a favor?”


    Rayna and Curtis immediately exchanged perplexed nces. “A favor?”


    “Yes, that''s right. Yasmin''s about seven years old and should''ve started school a while back. However, I


    don''t have the means to support her education. It''s already hard enough to feed both myself and her...


    That''s why I was wondering if you guys could help enroll her in a good school,” Cassidy exined as


    she quietly observed the couple''s expressions.


    s, her heart began to race when she saw how calm they were. “I can find a way to treat Belle''s eye


    condition and the blood parasite...” Cassidy hastily added while pointing at Rayna''s wrist. “If my


    treatment fails, I promise to rope in the help of my seniors. Otherwise, I can also find someone who


    knows more about parasites. I swear I''m not lying!”


    Rayna nced at the emerald bracelet on her wrist and turned to Curtis. “I think it''s doable.”


    Curtis, however, didn''t react in any particr way. It''s not that I''m unmoved by Cassidy''s plea, but


    wouldn''t this transaction lead to a shift in control?


    “Fine, but I have one condition,” Curtis finally said as his eyes fell on Yasmin. “If something that''s not


    school-rted were to happen to this child—”


    “Don''t worry about that!” Cassidy interrupted. “All I want is for the kid to receive a proper education. It''d


    be great if her daily needs could also be taken care of, but I swear you won''t have to worry about


    anything else. I know it''s a huge responsibility to look after a child... Please rest assured that I have no


    intention of ckmailing you guys.”


    After a while, Curtis turned to Robin. “Prepare the agreement, Mr. Yeast.”


    Afraid that Curtis might go back on his word, Cassidy quickly chimed in, “I have aputer and printer


    in the house!”


    With that, Robin hummed his acknowledgment and left the room with Cassidy.


    “I can''t believe that kid has yet to go to school,” Rayna muttered as she caressed the still slightly weak


    Fluffy.


    “Back in the day, the Gilroy family was big and powerful. Their decline only began in thest ten years


    or so,” Curtis exined.


    “Huh? How did you know that?”


    “I looked it up online,” the man answered without skipping a beat. “It was reported that the Gilroys used


    to be doctors abroad, except no one knows the exact country they had practiced in.”
