Chapter 1080


    Sheena approached Phoebe and squatted in front of her, speaking softly, “Phoebe, what are you doing


    here? What happened? Tell me, I’ll help you.”


    Phoebe kept ner head down,cking energy and feeling drained.


    “Lately, Mr. Howard has been very strict with me because I want to take the entrance exams. Every


    night, when hees back, he’ll test me. But my foundation is weak, and I keep giving wrong answers.


    I feel like I can’t do anything right, and I’m so disappointed in myself. Sheena, what should I do?”


    Sheena remained silent.


    While Howard’s demands were perhaps driven by high expectations, having both been at Farlem


    Orphanage, Sheena knew Phoebe’s academic foundation was indeed weak, making her prone to self-


    doubt.

    Howard was pushing her too hard.


    Sheena gently patted Phoebe’s hand,forting her, “But Phoebe, you shouldn’t have just run away


    from home. Imagine how worried Howard would be when he gets home and finds you’re not there.”


    Phoebe weakly responded, “But… this isn’t really running away from home, is it? I’m just engaged to


    Mr. Howard and living at his ce. It’s not really my home, and I just wanted some time alone. I didn’t


    do well studying for the entrance exam this afternoon, and I know he would be disappointed when he


    comes


    back and finds out…”


    Moreover, she dreaded being punished like a child.


    Even though Howard only used his hand to discipline her, it was still punishment, and she could not


    help


    but feel afraid.


    Sheena brushed Phoebe’s windblown hair back, saying, “It’s dark out here, and you’re all alone. Aren’t


    you afraid of encountering dangerous people?”


    Looking at Sheena with confusion, Phoebe replied, “But aren’t you here with me right now? How am I


    alone?”


    Sheena was rendered speechless, thrown off guard by Phoebe’s response.


    She lowered her gaze and gently apologized, “I’m sorry. I thought we could talk like we used to at the


    orphanage whenever we were upset. I forgot that you’re now married with children. I shouldn’t have


    bothered you.


    Sheena smiled reassuringly. “You’re not bothering me. I was just at home with nothing to do when you


    called. Since I’m free, I might as welle over and keep youpany.”


    Sheena gently ruffled Phoebe’s hair.


    Although Phoebe was technically a year older than her, her gaze appeared much more innocent and


    Chame 1080


    youthful due to her four–year memory regression.


    “Phoebe, what do you want to do? I’ll join you until you’re happy and ready to go back.”


    Phoebe’s eyes lit up gradually, excitedly waving her phone.


    “I found this really fun game recently called Mobile Heroes. How about we y a few rounds together?”


    Mobile Heroes?


    Sheena was not much of a gamer, but she had heard about it and knew esports was booming


    nowadays.


    Nheless, she had never considered investing in it.


    Seeing Sheena’s confusion, Phoebe showed her the game.


    “It’s easy, Sheena. Just download it, and I’ll teach you. You’re naturally gifted, and you’ll get the hang of


    it


    in no time.”


    With the sole intention of making Phoebe happy, Sheena did not refuse.


    She took out her phone and watched as Phoebe guided her through downloading the game called


    Mobile


    Heroes.


    Twenty minutester….


    With the victory sound effects from the game, Sheena gradually became interested.


    “This is kind of fun. Let’s give it another try!”


    Sharpening her skills, Sheena joined Phoebe in ying a match.


    In her first attempt, she chose a midne hero, picking the aesthetically pleasing Aphrodite.


    Sitting on the rocks under the dim moonlight, the two werepletely absorbed in their game, staring


    at their phone screens, engaged in intense gamey.


    Once they entered the match, they forgot about everything else, even losing track of time.


    When Elliot and Howard finally arrived at the remote wilderness, they found the two men engrossed in


    their mobile game.


    One of them was even a mother now..


    “Phoebe, hurry up and join us! Don’t be scared. The enemy’s Midas is almost dead. Don’t let him heal.”


    “I’m in the bottomne. How am I supposed to get there? Besides, I’m a marksman, and I need to


    farm.”


    “Come on, Phoebe, join the team fight. Forget about farming. Those little coins don’t matter.”


    “No way! Just wait a bit longer. Every little bit counts. Only then can I carry the team!


    “Ah, Sheena,e protect me. Ares is attacking me!”

    Elliot and Howard listened to their enthusiastic conversation from a distance and exchanged nces,


    both wearing a stern expression.
