Chapter 76 I Promised You
Chapter 76 I Promised You
Charlotte finally looked up and said seriously, "If it hurts, you can scream. I won''tugh at you."
Andrew insisted, "I won''t scream."
But the next second -
"Ah -!"
With swift precision, Charlotte reconnected the bone for Andrew, who was writhing in pain.
Standing up, Charlotte advised, "Later, go to the medical office and get some medicine to apply.
Avoid water, spicy food, and strenuous exercise. You should recover in two weeks."
Andrew''s face turned pale, and he let out a heavy sigh, "Will it affect my basketball ying?"
Charlotte pondered for a moment and said, "No."

Andrew smiled, "Thank you."
He turned to Anthony and said, "I''ll go to yter."
Anthony looked at him incredulously, "Are you crazy?"
Charlotte responded ruthlessly, "I''m sorry to inform you that when I said it wouldn''t affect your
basketball, I meant after you''ve recovered, not right now."
Andrew forced a smile, "But right now, we..."
Srnya High School was already in a hopeless situation.
Charlotte also heard many discussions. Since she had just arrived at this school, she didn''t have a
strong sense of belonging. However, she still felt ufortable when hearing those people casually
belittling the efforts of these young men.
Cecilia suddenly said, "I remember Nichs used to y basketball excellently. You guys even
wanted him to join the basketball team."
Andrew shook his head and said, "I even offered him the position of captain, but he didn''t agree."
Anthony added, "I''ve asked him many times, but he never responds. It''s impossible."
"Nichs hasn''t yed basketball for many years," Reagan, who joined the conversation, said
sarcastically, "During the beginning of our first year in high school, he yed basketball at school
and missed seeing his mother for thest time."
"He won''t go on the court," continued Reagan.
Eloise sighed, "Oh no, our school will beughed at by those bastards from Roblia High School for
a long time."
"Probably all people in Seyso willugh at us," Cecilia shrugged and continued, "It''s my fault, to be
honest."
"But the most crucial thing is..." Eloise said, "The basketball team will probably receive endless
criticism, especially since it already attracts so much attention. If we lose this game, our school''s
reputation might be at stake."
Suddenly, Reagan said, "Charlotte, you have a good rtionship with Nichs, right? You should
convince him to y. He''ll definitely listen to you."
Her voice was loud enough for everyone around to hear, and instantly, dozens of girls looked at
Charlotte with hopeful eyes.
Charlotte was taken aback and involuntarily took a step back.
Reagan smiled and said, "Charlotte, it''s a matter of our school''s honor. You should talk to Nichs."
Charlotte said, "But you said that Nichs refused to y because of his mother..."
Reagan raised an eyebrow, "That''s why I want you to go. If you ask him to y, he''s sure to agree."
She then changed her tone, "Are you purposely hiding and refusing to go because of the posts on
the campus forum? Do you want us to lose the game?"
"I... I''m not."
A girl spoke up loudly, "Charlotte, I apologize to you. Please, please go talk to Nichs! We really
can''t afford to lose!"
"Yes, Charlotte! I apologize, too! Please go and persuade Nichs..."
"Charlotte, do you really want our school to lose the game?"
"..."
Andrew''s face turned angry, "Reagan, what do you mean by this?"
Reagan replied innocently, "I''m just speaking the truth."
Eloise''s face turned red with anger, "This is clearly moral ckmail! Why do you force Char?"
Everyone knew that Nichs would get furious whenever his mother was mentioned. Basketball
was like a sore spot for him!
Reagan knew this very well, which was why she pushed Charlotte into a difficult situation. If
Charlotte didn''t go, everyone would me her for the team''s loss. And if she went, Nichs would
definitely be angry with her.
"Because Nichs treats her differently," Reagan smiled, "If I talk to Nichs and he listens to me,
then I will go."
People around all started persuading Charlotte. Charlotte''s face turned pale, and she bit her lip, not
knowing how to handle this situation.
Reagan finally felt relieved from the burden she had been carrying, thinking that Vivian was indeed
clever. In this way, even if the basketball game was lost, nobody would me Andrew. It would all
fall on Charlotte and Nichs. What a wonderful n!
Reagan smiled and said, "Charlotte, the game is about to start. Are you really not going?"
Cecilia frowned, "Reagan, stop!"
Reagan said with a hint of aggrievedness, "I''m just worried."
She lowered her head meekly, but in fact, she was overjoyed.
The people around started to curse when Charlotte didn''t move. They all said as if Charlotte had to
go and beg Nichs, and as if once she did, Nichs would definitely agree.
As long as the consequences didn''t fall on one''s own head, people would never know how heavy it
could be.
If Charlotte didn''t go, everyone would regard it as her fault and think that she was selfish. What''s
more, people would think that she wanted to seek revenge for that viral post, so she deliberately
embarrassed the school. People would me her for the loss.
Amidst the noisy and grating discussions, a clear voice of a young man suddenly rang out, "ying
basketball?"
Everyone turned around and saw Nichs calmly walking over. Due to his slight nearsightedness,
his eyes were slightly squinted, making him appear unapproachable.
Reagan pushed Charlotte forward and said, "Nichs! Charlotte has something to tell you!"
"Reagan, you..." Eloise was furious, but there was nothing she could do, so she reluctantly said,
"Nichs, Char just..."
"ying basketball?" Nichs smiled slightly, "I can try that again."
Reagan was stunned.
Even Cecilia and others looked at him in astonishment.
They all knew that Nichs had no intention of touching basketball again.
Ignoring their surprise, Nichs bent down slightly, and whispered in Charlotte''s ear, "I can promise
you to y in this game, but you have to agree to one of my conditions."
Charlotte looked puzzled.
She thought, "Huh? When did I ask you to y the game? Did I say that? Why should I agree to
your condition?"
But Nichs''s willingness to y was undoubtedly great news. Charlotte whispered softly, "Then...
what is it?"
Nichs whispered something in her ear.
Charlotte''s earlobes immediately turned red as she turned her head to the side, "I..."
Nichs said calmly, "As long as you agree, I''m definitely going to win. How about it?"
Charlotte bit her tender lower lip, almost drawing blood, before nodding slightly and saying in a
barely audible voice, "Ok..."
Nichs smiled, patting Charlotte''s head. In the instant he turned away, the tenderness on his face
faded. He looked at the group of people trying to force Charlotte and said, "Remember, the reason
why you don''t have to beughed at by Roblia High School is because of Charlotte."
