Chapter 8


    Joseph frowned and earnestly said, “Ang, now is not the time to act impulsively. Where will you go after leaving the Kins


    Family? Besides, it’s dangerous for a girl like you to be out there. If something happens, what will we do?” Avoiding the question.


    He wants to avoid discussing this sensitive topic. | already know what his answer is. Ang chuckled lightly and replied, “You


    don’t need to worry, Joseph. Rest assured, | will live well and won''t do anything foolish.” Although she already knew the answer,


    Ang still felt a bit sad in her heart, but it didn’t matter. She walked past Joseph and left the Kins Residence. In the military


    zone stood ancient buildings that, although renovated, still exuded a strong sense of history.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    When Ang first returned to the Kins Family, she couldn''t fit in. She had lived with her grandmother since she was young and


    stayed here. From the age of 10 to 16, her teenage years were spent here. Looking at the familiar house from her memories,


    tears welled up in Ang''s eyes as she continued walking inside. Ang had never seen her grandfather. She only heard her


    grandmother say that her grandfather sacrificed himself while catching thieves and was a towering hero. Her grandmother,


    Charlotte, used to march with her grandfather and worked as a military doctor. After her grandfather retired, she opened a small


    clinic next to thepound. Ang learned her medical skills from her grandmother. Zacharias had poor health, so she diligently


    learned medical skills from her grandmother at that time,rgely for the sake of Zacharias. Unfortunately, her efforts couldn’t


    compare to a few caring words from Fanny. She lived with her grandmother here, and George rarely came by throughout the


    year. He only visited a few times during the holidays. But for some reason, her grandmother didn’t get along with George.


    They would argue as soon as they saw each other, and her grandmother even chased George away with a broom. Even though


    George had a good temper, he was eventually worn down and became irritable. After that, he never came to visit the elderly


    again. After her grandmother passed away, she inherited the house and a red passbook from Ang. That was her


    grandmother''s lifelong savings, and Ang had never touched it, nor was she willing to use that money. The house was on the


    second floor of the third building. Ang opened the door with the key. It was a two-bedroom apartment, and the furniture was


    still of the old-fashioned kind. It was still the same here, but because no one had lived here for a long time, the windows were


    covered in spider webs, and there was a thickyer of dust on the chest of drawers. Ang rolled up her sleeves and quickly


    cleaned everything inside and out, feeling much morefortable afterward. Her stomach started growling, so Ang took out a


    stack of money from the hiddenpartment of her wallet, which contained the money she had saved for a year. Originally, she


    had nned to buy a birthday gift for Fanny next month, but now she could use it for emergencies.


    There were some pennies and quarters, and the biggest one was the dor bill. She counted them, and there was a total of 37


    dors, enough for her to use for a while. There was a small shop at the entrance of the courtyard, so Ang went to the


    convenience store and bought a pack of instant ramen, some eggs, and other necessities. A bow! of steaming hot instant ramen


    was ready, although Ang had only added salt and no other seasonings. Ang found it especially delicious. She didn’t have to


    please her family members anymore, nor did she have to serve them like a nanny, and she didn’t have to listen to their insults.


    She could live however she wanted. Afterpletely letting go, Ang feltfortable. Late at night, when she was half asleep,


    her phone next to her vibrated. Ang rubbed her eyes and irritably picked it up, ncing at the caller ID. Is this person crazy?


    Don’t they know it’s rude to disturb someone’s sweet dreams sote at night?


    Annoyed, she pressed the hang-up button and threw the phone aside. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the phone rang


    again. Impatiently, she pressed the answer button. On the other end of the line, Christopher''s voice came through with anger,


    “Ang, you have some nerve hanging up on my call.” Ang rubbed her ear and moved the phone away from her, then


    shouted into the receiver, “Christopher, are you out of your mind? Do you realize it’s impolite to call at this hour? Speak up or be


    quiet.” As soon as she said that, even through the phone, Ang could sense Christopher’s anger. He was breathing heavily,


    and his tone was filled with a strong scent of hostility. “Ang, you’re returning to school tomorrow. It’s better if you inform the


    teacher yourself that you’re voluntarily giving up your spot. Otherwise, | have ways to transfer it to Fanny.”


    After saying that, he abruptly ended the call. Staring at the dark screen of her phone, Ang’s previously drowsy mind suddenly


    became clear. If it weren’t for Christopher''s call reminding her, she would havepletely forgotten about this matter. Seeing


    how eager they were to take her spot and trying to pressure her into giving it to Fanny, Ang was determined not to let them


    have their way.
