Chapter 1945: Heavy Heart
The next day.
Alisha was exceptionally excited, waking up early and changing into a beautiful dress.
Anderson, on the other hand, got up on time as usual.
Cecelia braided two its for Alisha and dressed her up.
Today was the first day that Anderson and Alisha were returning to school together. It was nothing out of the ordinary for
Anderson, but for Alisha, it was her first time stepping into school, and her excitement was palpable.
Breakfast was eaten quickly, and Alisha was already eager to leave.
She checked her backpack over and over again.
"Brother, do you see if there''s anything else we need to bring? You brought aptop, should | bring one too?" Alisha asked.
"You don''t need to, just go to school. You need to adapt to the environment first," Anderson said, ncing upstairs, where neither
dad nor mom had gotten up today.
Before leaving, he told Cecelia, "Grandma, wait for me, I''m going to check upstairs.”
And with that, he quickly ran off.
“Hey, let them sleep a bit longer," Cecelia said. But Anderson was already gone.
Anderson ran upstairs sneakily, pushed open the door, only to find that neither dad nor mom was in the room.
Perplexed, he wondered why they weren''t downstairs if they weren''t sleeping in the room.
He looked around and noticed that the study''s door was open, so he headed towards the study.
Upon pushing open the study''s door, Luther noticed Andersoning in and immediately made a "shh" gesture.
Anderson halted in his tracks and tiptoed inside.
Approaching, he saw his mom, Joyce, who was sleeping soundly with her head on the desk, surrounded by a pile of documents
and threeputers open in front of her.
Anderson''s eyes widened in inquiry.
At that moment, Luther lifted Joyce from the desk, carefully carried her back to the room, andid her on the big bed.
Joyce was so tired that she didn''t notice a thing, sleeping deeply without budging an eyelid.
Luther walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Anderson followed up and asked, "Dad, did mom not sleepst night? What was she busy with? What''s so important?"
Luther whispered, "She was busy until midnightst night, and | had to force her to sleep. But | don''t know when she got up
sneakily behind my back to continue working. | only found out this morning. Don''t disturb her, let her sleep a bit more."
Anderson nodded.
He wanted to ask what mom was up to. Was it more important than getting proper rest with two children in her belly? ncing at
the documents on the desk, all rted to biopharmaceuticals, and the three openptops, it was clear she was conducting
extensive data analysis. It was a huge project. He couldn''t fathom what mom wanted to achieve. Despite his curiosity, he chose
not to ask.
"I''m going to school now. Dad, I''ll say goodbye to you upstairs," Anderson waved.
"I''lle downstairs with you." Luther followed Anderson downstairs.
Alisha was eagerly waiting at the door, "Why isn''t brothering?"
"Here he is!" Luther''s voice answered her.
Approaching, he lifted Alisha up, saying, "Alisha, it''s your first day at preschool, so be happy. Anderson, take care of your sister."
"Don''t worry, you''re so wordy," Anderson impatiently said.
Alisha kissed Luther''s cheek, "Daddy, we''re off, goodbye."
After bidding farewell, Anderson and Alisha left in Aaron''s car, heading towards the school.
Alisha happily hummed along the way.
But Anderson had a heavy heart.
Yesterday, he saw dad and mom on the terrace, whispering about who knows what. Curious and cautious due to the many
incidents in the family, he went closer and hid behind the curtain. Though he couldn''t hear their conversation, he saw mom
crying.
After that, she began working frantically.
What was she doing?
What had happened?
He wanted to help.
Deciding to investigate further that night, he was determined to find out.
Soon, Aaron''s car arrived at the school.
Mr. Middleton personally weed them, opening the car door and warmly greeting, "Anderson, it''s been a while. Is this your
little sister?"
Alisha emerged from the car, shing a bright smile, "Hello, teacher, I''m Alisha, Anderson''s sister."N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Mr. Middleton smiled kindly, "Alisha is so well-behaved."
The principal had already greeted them, understanding the need to take extra care of the princess from the wealthiest family. So,
he was attentive.
Mr. Middleton took Alisha''s hand and said, "Today is your first day at school. Let me show you around and introduce you to the
new ssmates, okay?"
"Okay!" Alisha nodded excitedly.
Entering the school, Mr. Middleton told Anderson, "Anderson, you go to the ssroom first. The other kids are already there. I''ll
show Alisha around and join youter."
"Okay." Andersonplied.
Walking through the corridor, Anderson entered the ssroom.
Kiki was the first to spot Anderson, not having seen him for several days.
She eagerly approached him, saying, "Anderson, | heard your sister ising to school today. Where is she? | haven''t seen her
yet."
"The teacher took her for a tour. She''ll be here soon," Anderson replied.
Other ssmates also gathered around, saying, "Anderson, we want to meet your sister too."

"Hasn''t he regained his memory?" Anderson tilted his head, expressing confusion.
Kiki shook her head.
"But he remembers you, right?" Anderson inquired.
Kiki nodded, "He remembers me, but

"Mm." Kiki vigorously nodded, feeling grateful for Anderson''s rare gesture of sce, smiling brightly in response.
