Chapter 398


    "Sisley? What are you doing?" Someone asked in confusion.


    "Mr. Burns, they didn''t even vent their anger even when they were so badly injured. Obviously, they


    are not from the same group of people as before. They are kind people!"


    After that, Sisley walked up to Minerva. "Before I take you to Zachary, you need to get your wound


    treated. If you don''t mind, I can help you."


    Vera paused for a moment and looked at Minerva''s grossly injured palm. "It''s so serious. I think it''s


    better to go to the hospital."


    Otherwise, she was afraid that the condition of the wound would worsen.


    Sisley dared not speak a word. She gave Minerva a sincere stare. After thinking for a while, Minerva


    replied smilingly, "I''m sorry to trouble you."


    As soon as Vera heard this, her expression hardened. "Minerva..."


    Minerva began to follow Sisley. Vera had no choice but to follow them.


    After the crowd had been dismissed, a group of people remained at the spot.


    "Keh, how could you shove her like that? You can''t do this again."


    After hearing the adults'' words, Keh Lewis immediately pouted his lips and responded


    discontentedly, "She is a bad person!"


    "Sisley said that they are kind people! Did you really see her bullying Grandma?"


    Keh nodded his head.


    The olddy probably couldn''t bear to see her grandson being reprimanded and others to


    misunderstand the two girls. Atst, she heaved a sigh. "They just talked to me. Keh probably


    misunderstood them."


    "So... All of us misunderstood them? Are they really Zachary''s colleagues?" "We are indeed


    Zachary''s colleagues. We heard from Jessica that something happened to his family, so we came to


    see him."


    Sisley was helping Minerva to clean her wounds. Upon hearing Jessica''s name, Sisley paused for a


    moment, nodding. "I trust you. Jessica oftenes to our ce and is very close to the people


    here. She... likes Zachary a lot. Shees over to his ce practically every day."


    As she spoke, she nced at Minerva and asked in an undertone, "Don''t you feel pain?"


    Minerva was stunned for a moment. "What''s the matter?"


    "You didn''t even flinch when I treated your wound?" Sisley looked at her hand with confusion. "You


    have some shattered ss and wood chips stuck in your hand. I have to prick them out with


    needles."


    Minerva nced at her palm and remained silent.


    Vera said gloomily beside her, "How could it be not painful? I can''t even bear the sight of it. It''s just


    that she has a high tolerance to pain!"


    Minerva had bottled everything up inside throughout the years.


    Vera recalled the time when she had just arrived overseas. Minerva was not a designer yet. Vera


    was bullied for the first time when she worked in this line of work and was harmed severely.


    Eventually, she finished her task without uttering a word.


    As she thought about it, Vera found a great deal of empathy for her.

    Sisley lowered his head to dress her wound silently.


    She realized that the person in front of her was really forbearing. Even she herself could not bear to


    see it. However, Minerva had not frowned at all; only sweat could be seen beading on Minerva''s


    forehead.


    After bandaging her hand, Sisley said softly, "Avoid contact with water these few days. If you have


    time, you''d better go to the hospital. I only gave you first aid today."


    Minerva looked at her with a faint smile. "Thank you."


    Sisley blushed. "I''ll take you to Zachary now."


    "Thanks a lot." Minerva and Vera followed behind Sisley and headed towards Zachary''s house.


    Sisley opened up to them and told them a lot of things about Zachary on the way.


    It was only then did Minerva and Vera learn about Zachary''s poor living conditions. His mother had


    come from the brothels and eventually married Zachary''s father, Mr. Lowell.


    Mr. Lowell was originally a promising young man who worked hard to advance his career. He was


    handsome and attracted many beautiful young girls when he was young. However, he unknowingly


    fell in love with a woman from the brothels, and she gave birth to Zachary.


    At first, the couple had a good time together and Little Zachary had lived happily with them.


    However, a few yearster, Zachary''s mother unexpectedly did not change her nature. She went


    back to the brothels to make money. She desired her previous extravagant life and felt that Mr.


    Lowell was unable to fulfill her wishes.


    As a result, the two began to have all sorts of quarrels, and even fights.


    After that, Mr. Lowell got addicted to drinking. He gotpletely drunk every time he returned


    home. Zachary''s mother scolded him and called him a drunkard who didn''t even know how to make


    money. She then ran away withouting back at all, leaving Zachary behind.


    Later on, Mr. Lowell drank all day long and Zachary lived miserably day after day.


    After that, Mr. Lowell was addicted to gambling and owed a lot from the usury. Naturally, Zachary fell


    into all his father''s debts.


    Usury.


    That was a very terrifying thing. The more money he owed, the more profit the usury would earn. If


    he didn''t repay any of his debts that day, he would be subject to a higherpounding interest day


    by day.


    Simrly, if he didn''t pay the interest within months, he would be charged the umted monthly


    interest.


    Then finally, he couldn''t pay back the debts at all.


    As they reached an old house, Sisley paused. "Zachary is usually a little cold, but it''s not that he


    doesn''t want to make friends with us. He just doesn''t want others to get implicated in his matters.


    Those people often demand him for his repayment. If they find out who he gets close to, they will


    definitely make trouble for that person."


    Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned. She couldn''t resist ncing at Sisley.


    Was this the reason for Zachary''s entric behavior?


    Minerva thought that... he was influenced by his environment, but she didn''t expect...


    "Wait a minute. I''ll go in and have a look."


    Sisley stopped and went in first.


    Just as she was about to walk in, Jessica came out crying and met them face to face.


    The four of them were rooted to the spot. Jessica walked up to Minerva and yelled furiously, "What


    are you doing here? Don''t think that Zachary will ept your kindness. Get out of here."


    Minerva looked at her nonchntly without saying a word.


    Vera replied helplessly, "We just came to see him. What does it have to do with you?"


    However, Jessica snorted in anger and turned to leave.


    After she left, Vera felt odd about it.


    Soon, there was a loud noise in the room as if something was mmed against the ground. Soon, a


    skinny teenager in a white shirt stormed out.


    "F*ck off, troublemaker. Get out of here."
