After what felt like <b>an </b>eternity, Ethan ced his hands on the keyboard and opened WhatsApp to find
Isabelle’s chat.
Isabelle’s phone chimed with a new message.
The next day.
Eleanor opened Ethan’s bedroom door, her eyes swollen.
Carrying breakfast, Eleanor spoke in a hoarse voice, I’ve called the school; you won’t be going today.”
Ethan couldn’t believe it and asked, “Are you imprisoning me?”
Eleanor sighed and said, “Son, you’re still young. You don’t understand the struggles of being a parent. We only want what’s best for you.”

His father stood silently beside her, saying nothing.
At school,
La felt dazed and on edge.
She barely made it through ss. Lacked the appetite for it<b>; </b>therefore, she headed to her dorm, avoiding the crowd, desperate for a break.
“Ethan <b>said </b>you needed help with a math problem.”
Without any warning, Isabelle’s voice suddenly rang out.
La jumped up, screaming in surprise, her whole body jolting as if electrocuted.
When she saw Isabelle, La’s fuzzy brain froze. Her heart pounded, nearly leaping out of her chest, sinking into endless panic..N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
There’s quite a bit of schrship money, Isabelle remarked casually.
La barely regained her wits. She stammered, “Sis… sis…
Isabelle continued, “I’ll solve the problem<b>, </b>and all the schrship money goes to me.”
La stood stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly. “All yours, sis. It’s all yours.”

Did Ethan keep this a secret from Isabelle, and did he choose to help me instead?
Isabelle looked at the problem and asked<b>, </b>“Got pen and paper?”
“Yes, I have it here.” La hurriedly handed over the paper and pen.
In her agitation, she dropped the pen on the ground.
Isabelle watched coldly as she bent to pick it up.
“Sis, how long will it take?” La asked, trying to mask her anxiety and calm herself.
“Not long.” Isabelle said, taking the pen.

She clutched the notebook tightly, as if holding a lifeline. La asked, “Can Ie to you if I have <b>more </b>problems in the future?”
Isabelle let out a fake smile.
She said nothing.
“Once I show the teacher and get the schrship, I’ll give it all to you. Thank you, sis. I’ll find youter,” La said, struggling to contain her emotions and calling Isabelle a warm sister.
She waved goodbye to Isabelle and left in a hurry. Her emotions were like a rollercoaster; she had thought. she was doomed, but now she saw a glimmer of hope. Still feeling guilty. La didn’t dare stay long or say much to Isabelle.
Isabelle stood still as she watched La’s joyous, retreating figure. Her expression was growing colder.
Then she started following her.
