But I know how to fight North suburb of Colette Town.
A nursing home even without a name.
But it had just been ranked as one of the top nursing homes by the World Medical Organization in the
first half of this year, with one month''s cost amounting to an astronomical number: ten million.
There was a florist''s in front of it.
18,000 only for a little cactus.
Looking at the little cactus asrge as her palm, Ate tilted her head.
This little gadget did cost something.
She lifted her eyebrows, walking into the nursing home at a steady pace, with one hand in the jacket''s
pocket.
It was an idyllic ce.
Everyone residing there owned his or her own bamboo house which lined up around the whole ce in
an artistic way.
Gardens of flowers and vegetables, fences with roses and small paths of cobblestones — all were
creating a rxing environment which maintained the otherworldlyndscape while harnessing modern
technology.
People with newly-picked vegetables and fresh meat went through it asionally.
They were staff there in preparation for the breakfast.
"Miss, you''vee to visit Lorraine."
N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
The cook, an olddy, greeted her with smile.
Taking off her cap and mussing her hair, Ate replied her.
The morning sunlight rendered her even more fair.
Her extremely beautiful face would make people forget to breathe.
For a moment the cook just paused there.
There then came Ate’s cold silvery voice.
"Has Lorraine got up?" She asked.
The cook then came to her sense.
"Yes, yes, she may probably be watering her nts in the garden now."
Ate thanked her with courtesy and headed toward the garden.
Staring at the direction of Ate, the cook couldn''t help muttering, "So cute a girl!"
In the garden.
A girl in a cyan fluffy coat was watering the flowers, squatting in front of a small bush.
Looking at her from afar, Ate beamed.
"Lorraine."
Lorraine seemed to freeze for a second and then turned round, just to find Ate in surprise.Her eyes
dting out of joy, she dropped the spoon and ran toward Ate.
"Ate, there you are!"
"Yeah."
Ate passed her the little cactus.
With her eyes shining with delight, Lorraine just couldn''t see this little nt enough.
Each time Ate came, she would bring a nt which was easy to cultivate, such as sulents.
They were easy to cultivate because of their tenaciousness toward life.
Holding Ate’s arm, Lorraine suggested with joy, "Ate, let''s get inside."
"Sure." Ate agreed.
The quaint internal design in her bamboo house would help the most anxious person in the world calm
down.
Lorraine dug out all her snacks, say, dried fruit.
"Ate, these are all made from the mango and strawberry I nt.Super tasty! I''ve added tons of
sugar.I bet you will be crazy about them."
Staring at this girl in front of her, Ate went a little absent minded.It seemed that the vigor of life,
which had been absent for long, now resumed its ce in this Lorraine girl’s eyes.
Her recuperation seemed to be going well.
Ate picked a piece of dried mango slice and had a taste.
Yummy! Sweet but not unpleasantly cloying, it still contained the fragrance of fruit.
Lorraine started eating too, but her downcast eyes seemed to indicate some unspoken words.
Ate gave her a nce, rested her white arm on the table to support her chin idly, and said slowly,
"Just speak freely."
Lorraine smile embarrassedly, "You can detect everything."
Ate raised her eyebrows.
"I just wanna say, I can''t stay here forever."
Lorraine seemed to mean it.
"I’m much better now, so I can go out to earn my living with you.It’s said to cost a lot here."
"With me?’ With a mango slice between her fingers, Ate adopted a new position to sit.
She crossed her legs idly and asked with her thin lips, "How do you earn your living when you are not
even 18?"
Lorraine retorted nkly, "Nor are you."
"But I know how to fight." Ate replied casually.
