Chapter 366
Myra was puzzled. Did Seane up with some new trick just to try to contact me? However, she
decided to pick the call up after she heard what Sebastian said. “Hello?” She frowned as she spoke
into the phone.
A light, breathing sound came from the other end of the line. It sounded as if the other person didn’t
know what to say, or it could also be that the person was contemting whether to say anything at all.
For some reason, Myra felt an uneasy feeling in her chest. She somehow sensed that the other person
wasn’t Sean.
“Hello? Who is this? Is there a reason you’re calling me?” Myra continued to speak on the phone, but
the line was cut the moment she finished her sentence. She froze when her words were met with the
beeping sound of the call being ended.
“Who was it?” Tony asked.
She shook her head as she stared at Tony and Sebastian confusedly. “I don’t know who it was. The
person ended the call without saying anything.”
“That doesn’t make sense. She said that she wanted to speak to you earlier. Why would she end the
call after she managed to contact you?” Sebastian shook his head before he shot the couple a re.
“You guys didn’t go around bullying someone else’s daughter, did you?”
“Do we look like we’d have the time to do such a thing?” Tony gave his grandfather a look of
amusement.
To that, Sebastian scoffed before he headed off for the stairs. “What an odd thing to happen…” he
mumbled as he left them.
Myra found the situation rather odd as well, but she didn’t overthink about it. She figured that the
person would call her again if there were an emergency. On their way upstairs, both Tony and Myra
received a call from Cameron; he had phoned one of them before the other. Both of them didn’t have to
exchange words to know that neither one of them would pick the call up. They didn’t care if Cameron
had actually met Sean that day; both Tony and Myra felt a strong sense of contempt for Cameron
regardless. They figured that Cameron was trying to see if he could fish for any benefits from Sean
before he returned to the both of them, but how could Cameron expect everyone to be so generous
with him?
Just before Tony and Myra got into bed, Tony pressed a key into Myra’s palm. It was a vintage-looking
key withplicated, jagged patterns that made it look exquisite. There was a light blue crystal
dangling from the keyring, and the crystal looked gorgeous as it glowed under the light.
“What’s this?” Myra asked. Why is he giving me a key out of nowhere? She eyed the key for a while
more and found herself liking it the more she looked at it. More importantly, she was d to receive
such a gift as it was rare for Tony to buy her any jewelry. However, she had been mistaken—the key
was more than an essory.
“I want to take you to a ce tomorrow.” Tony simply smiled without giving her any exnation.
“You’re acting so mysteriously. Did you prepare some sort of surprise for me?” she asked in a yful
tone. He simply beamed without saying anything else. “Did you actually prepare a surprise for me?”
She was shocked by his silence.
“You seem really energetic today, huh? Why don’t we do some healthy, bedtime activities then?” He
narrowed his eyes to give her a cheeky look, and she had a bad feeling about what he was about to do.
As expected, he no longer waited for her reply, for he merely pinned her onto the bed before he flipped
over and got on top of her.
His gaze darkened as his voice grew hoarse when he said, “Why don’t we roley a situation where a
female robber troubles a meek schoolboy?”
She red at him speechlessly.
…
The young girl ended her phone call before she gazed at the mini-garden in front of her. She was sitting
out on the balcony of a small hospital. Her eyes were red and swollen; it was evident that she just had
a crying fit. The streemps had been turned on outside, but the light didn’t reach onto the balcony, so
her figure seemed like it was about to be eaten up by the darkness around it.
“Your mother’s awake, and she’s looking for you, Olivia. You should go visit her.” One of the nurses
hastily approached her when she caught her sitting there alone. There was a hint of pity in the nurse’s
eyes.
The young girl responded with a dry cough and a nod before she hurried off into the toilet. She pulled
out some foundation that she had sneakily purchased, and she applied it all over the red skin that
surrounded her eyes. Then, she cleared her throat before she strode over to one of the wards.
She pushed the door open to reveal a shared ward with three beds lying in one row and a passageway
in the middle of the room. Soon, the girl walked over to a rather young-looking woman before shing
the woman a smile. “You’re finally up, Mommy. Are you hungry? Do you need water? I’ll go get you
some water.”
“It’s fine.” The woman reached out for the young girl’s hand as she looked at her surroundings. “Why
did you send me to the hospital? I only fainted because I was too tired. It wasn’t a big deal. We
shouldn’t waste our money like this. Let’s go home now.”
The young girl hastily pressed her mother’s shoulders down when she saw that her mother was trying
to get out of bed. After that, she gave her mother a smile that seemed too matureing from
someone of her age. “The doctor said that there’s some excess blood in your brain that has to be
removed. It’s not clear how this urred, but you’ll faint again if you don’t undergo surgery. Your mind
might even be impacted if you choose to dy it for any longer. But it’s not a major surgery, and it won’t
cost a lot of money, so we can just go home after your surgery is done.” The girl put on a perfect and
wellposed expression.
The young woman froze upon hearing this. She reached up to touch the right side of her head; there
was a spot that she had identally hit when she bumped into something a while ago. I didn’t hit my
head too hard, but I guess I’ve been feeling some pain after that idental bump. Was that the cause
of the excess blood in my brain? I’m surprised I actually fainted today. But regardless, it’s still costly to
get surgery nowadays, and… we don’t have a lot of savings left.
The woman frowned. She was afraid to get herself a proper job as she was worried that the man would
hunt them down. All she could take were part-time or one-off jobs that didn’t provide her with much
money. She only had enough for her daughter’s school fees, their daily expenses, and rental fees for
the house. They had moved into this town for nearly a year then, and they felt much happier than they
did in Springdale City, despite the financial struggles they faced there.
I might have no choice but to look for that man if I’m going to need arge sum of money, but… I don’t
want to return to my old life. I was able to live a simple life with my child back when I didn’t know
anything about that matter, but I have been in a constant state of pain and agony ever since I found out
about it. I don’t want my daughter to return to the suffering she had to endure when she was younger…
“Did the doctor tell you how much the surgery would cost?” the woman asked the girl.
“Don’t worry. The doctor said that it would only cost around 2,000 to 3,000. Don’t worry about the
money, Mommy. We’ll be able to afford it. We can leave after you’re done with the surgery, okay?”
2,000 to 3,000… The woman heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright. Can you arrange for the doctor to get the
surgery done as soon as possible? The cost of staying an additional night in the hospital is a lot. Each
night will add a few hundred to the bill. I have to pay for your piano ss fees soon, and I don’t even

know if we’ll have enough money left for that then. I’ll just have to find another part-time job if we don’t
have enough. We’ll be able to pull through…”
Olivia Stark felt warm liquid gathering in her eyes, but she brushed her tears off while maintaining her
calm demeanor. “We have enough, Mommy. You should rest a while longer. I’ll go speak to the
doctors.”
“Okay. Remember to tell the doctors that I want it done as soon as possible.” The woman reminded her
once more.
