Chapter 562


    Chapter 562 Abby Bullied at School


    While Abby was taking a shower, Caleb took a seat on the couch and essed the surveince camera


    footage of her living room from his phone.


    Though he had installed a security camera in the living room, he was not one to spy on someone else,


    so he merely nced at it from time to time each day just to ensure her safety.


    He essed the security camera footage and checked the daily records. Surprisingly, he found out that


    Abby finished her homework every night and left the apartment at 10.30PM. She came back at 1.00AM


    every night and left for school at 5.00AM after changing into casualwear. Religiously, she came home


    from school at 6.00PM everyday.


    Caleb randomly selected ten days’ worth of footage to view over the span of four months and he was


    surprised to find that this was her daily routine. At that instance, hepletely found himself in rage as


    he sat in the living room to puff on his cigarette.


    After quite some time, Abby walked out of the bedroom in her usual nightgown that had lost its color after


    being in the washer for too many times. She wore it as her pajamas for the entire summer.


    ‘It’ste now, aren’t you going to head home?’ She walked over and stood in front of him as she signed


    to him.


    The man kept his head lowered and puffed on his cigarette while ignoring her. She ended up standing


    there foolishly.


    After he was done with his cigarette, he extinguished it with his bare fingers and flicked the butt into the


    rubbish bin before lifting his head to stare straight into her eyes. “Aren’t you going to exin yourself?”


    She shook her head.


    “You don’t know how to exin yourself, huh? Well, I have some questions for you. You’ve been going


    out every night for the past four months to collect garbage and then leaving early in the morning to sell


    them, is that right?”


    Abby was stunned. ‘H-How did you find out?’


    After she signed that, it suddenly dawned upon her that he was a police officer, so it would be a piece of


    cake for him to find out the information.


    Caleb crossed his legs and leaned back against the couch as he focused his cold eyes on her.


    The look in his eyes terrified Abby as she felt goosebumps crawling on her arms. After some hesitation,


    she lifted both hands to sign. ‘I’m thankful for your great help in assisting me re-enroll in school to finish


    off my studies. I regard you as my family and you’re like my older brother. But then…’


    “Type it out with your phone. I don’t understand that.”

    Although Caleb was able to understand some signnguage, Abby’s speed and frequency proved quite


    challenging for him, so he ended up confused.


    Resigned, she had no choice but to grab herptop; it was the one that Caleb had bought for her to


    make things easier in her studies. Despite having such a gadget, they had never contacted each other


    via video call.


    Abby powered theptop and clicked into a Word file to type. ‘I wanted to say that I’m thankful for the


    opportunity to re-enroll in school to finish off my studies. You’ve been of great help and I found out


    afterward that you’ve been spending a lot of money on me, so I… I wanted to earn my keep as soon as


    possible to repay you.’


    There was another incident that she did not dare to mention to Caleb. Truth be told, she had been


    constantly picked on in school due to her disability.


    There were several boys who frequently targeted her and extorted her in school. They beat her up if she


    did not hand over money to them and they also threatened her that they would publicize the footage of


    her being beaten up to make it viral.


    Frightened by that possibility, Abby had no choice but to collect recybleste at night every day and


    scrimp toe up with a fixed sum for them. That was the only way she could gain some peace to focus


    on her studies daily.


    ‘We’ve only met each other several times, but why are you offering me so much help? I feel like I might


    not be able to repay this in my lifetime.’


    “I don’t expect any repayment.”


    ‘We’re not rted to each other, so I definitely have to repay this favor. It’s logical for me to repay any


    debt owed.’


    “Abby, listen carefully to me. I helped you re-enroll in school by sponsoring you and I sponsor plenty of


    students every year. You’re the most disobedient one amongst them,” he spoke loudly and there was


    clearly a displeased note in his voice.


    Meanwhile, Abby felt quite guilty as she sped both hands together uneasily. After some time, she


    signed to him, ‘I’m sorry.’
