After Elio left, Millicent and Irene chatted for a while.
“Irene, I’m going to the toilet.”
“Yes.”
Millicent was in the bathroom, recalling what had happened this morning and what she had said to the staff in the company that day.
A voice suddenly came to her mind.
“Elio doesn’t like you at all! He only likes Irene!”
“He’s dating you because of Irene!”
“Irene stole your boyfriend!”
“Irene likes Elio!”
“You are the most redundant between them!”
…
Millicent held her head and shouted, “No!”
She tried to get rid of the voice in her mind, but the devil voice was so loud that she couldn’t get rid of it no matter how hard she tried. Elio wouldn’t do this to her… Irene wasn’t that kind of person! She tried hard to convince herself that she had thought too much! It was all a misunderstanding!
She couldn’t help squatting down, hugging herself and crying silently.
Why? Why… must they treat her like this?
In the past, she really wanted to do it. It didn’t matter even if Elio liked Irene. It would be fine as long as she could quietly watch Elio.
It didn’t matter even if Elio didn’t know what she was thinking. It didn’t matter even if Elio hadn’t noticed her, even if there was only Irene in Elio’s eyes… She couldn’t care less.
When she learned that Elio wanted to avoid the blind date at home, the first thing she thought of was asking her for help. She was really happy in her heart. Even if it was fake, even if it was just a shield, as long as she could spend some time alone with him, Millicent would be very happy.
Later, after getting along with Elio, Millicent also felt that Elio was different to her. She couldn’t help but be secretly happy. It turned out that she had to pay for it, didn’t she?
The love confession on the ship was beyond her expectation. God knew how happy she was at that moment. Even if Elio still had Irene in his heart at that time, she believed that she would be the one who accompanied Elio to the end.
But people were always greedy. They would get more if they got a little bit.
If he hadn’t gotten it at that time, it would have been fine. Millicent was still the Millicent who devoted himself to nothing but seeking nothing in return. But once he got it, he wouldn’t let it go. Millicent didn’t even dare to imagine the loss.
She tidied up her makeup, calmed down, and walked out of the bathroom. When she came to the ward, she found that Irene had fallen asleep.
She stared at Irene’s sleeping face. No one knew what she was thinking.
Millicent knew that Irene was innocent in this matter. She only liked Wilson Edward, and she didn’t like Elio.
But once the seed of negative emotions was planted, it would take root and sprout one day. Looking at this best friend, Millicent’s mood was very complicated.
…
After what happened yesterday, the distance between Liam and Susie was shortened a little.
It should be noted that after losing his memory, Edward, the current Liam, was also very vigilant. If he had not been a little vigilant, how could he have firmly been the top leader of the Wilson? He was afraid that he would have been pulled down.
This was the same after he lost his memory. Susie was able to enter his heart so quickly, which showed that Susie’s position in his heart was not ordinary.
On this day, Susie planned to take Liam to the orphanage to see her child. She used to go there on time every week or two, and this time was no exception.
After buying some toys, food, and daily necessities, Susie was ready to set off.
The orphanage was located on the other side of the island. It didn’t take long for the two of them and a dog to arrive by car.
As soon as they saw Susie’s figure, many children gathered around to welcome them. Obviously, Susie had been here many times and was very familiar with them.
“Susie, you haven’t been here for a long time. We miss you so much.” The little children were noisy together.
At this time, president Dean, who was in the orphanage, saw Susie and said with a smile, “Long time no see, Susie. You’ve spent money again.”
“It’s okay. It’s just a small gift,” Susie smiled and said carelessly.
“This is…” president Dean stared at the man beside Susie, who was extremely handsome, and asked.
president Dean had taken over the orphanage from a long time ago. Since she was young, it could be said that most of her youth had been devoted to the orphanage.
Susie admired her very much. After all, it was not easy to support the operation of the entire orphanage with the Edward of a woman.
“This is Liam.”
Liam nodded at president Dean.
“He doesn’t like to talk very much.” Afraid that president Dean would misunderstand, Susie explained.
president Dean smiled and said that he didn’t care.
Liam looked at the orphanage. This orphanage was located in a not prosperous part of the suburbs. It seemed that few people came here. The wall outside was peeled off by the wind and rain, revealing mottled colors.
These buildings looked old, and this orphanage should have been built for a long time. Although it looked old, it was quite tidy.
Although the children’s clothes were all covered with patches without any new clothes, they were all very clean. Their faces were full of warm and innocent smiles, which made them look very energetic.
It seemed that the dean and teacher had taken good care of them. Nothing serious happened. Although the orphanage was poor, it was very good.
“It seems that there are not many children in the courtyard.” Liam asked in confusion.
“This orphanage has not been supported by outsiders, so it has not been renovated since it was established. Fortunately, people on the island will donate from time to time, or send some daily necessities such as rice, oil, blankets, and so on.”
“Most of these children’s parents died in the sea trouble because they went fishing. Their families didn’t receive any compensation.” Susie sighed.
“It’s up to you. I’ll excuse myself,” said president Dean.
“Director, go ahead and do your work. You don’t have to greet us.” Susie had been here many times and was very familiar with this place. Many children liked this gentle elder sister very much.
Because they would not only play with them, but also bring them toys and delicious food. They were looking forward to Susie’s arrival.
“Susie, you haven’t come to see Weiwei for a long time.” A little girl with goat-horn braids said with grievance.
“Sister, aren’t you here? Look what I brought for you.” Susie hugged Weiwei, touched her head, and comforted her.
The children shouted happily and formed a small circle. Susie was in the circle and took out a lot of toys and snacks in the expectant eyes of the children.
“Come, come, come… Don’t worry, be careful. There are all of them…” Susie said gently. Looking at the excited children, she was worried that they would fall.
Looking at Susie like this, Liam’s eyes were extremely soft. She really looked like an angel, gentle and kind.
“What are you waiting for? Liam, come and help.” Hearing Susie’s voice, Liam’s body was a little stiff. He really didn’t have much experience in taking care of children.
At first, the children were a little afraid of this cold big brother. After all, they had never seen him before, but some of them were bold. Seeing that Liam came with Susie, they secretly looked at him.
Susie pulled Liam over and said to the children, “He is Liam, and he will play with you in the future.” Then she gave him a pile of toys and food, indicating that he should share them with the children.
Children were just like mothers with milk. Many children surrounded Liam.
Looking at Liam’s somewhat awkward and stiff movements, Susie couldn’t help laughing-it was the first time she had seen Liam like this.
Liam was also helpless. In the past, when she dealt with others, they would leave consciously when they saw his bad expression… They were not like children who knew nothing and could not speak too much. They were so scared that they could not leave. Besides, children could not understand his expression…
Besides, children’s hearts were pure and not like those of the adults. Liam really couldn’t make up his mind for a while and didn’t know how to get along with these little kids.
The children could easily feel the malice of others and knew who was good to them. Although the big brother in front of them had a stinky expression, they were not afraid at all. Besides, since Susie had spoken, this big brother was definitely not a bad person.
“Yu, be gentle. Don’t scare them.” Susie couldn’t help teasing him. Liam’s expression was really funny.
Scared them? It would be fine if they didn’t frighten him.
On the surface, Liam was reluctant, but she still kept moving her hands and gently sent toys to the children.
“Don’t push me. If I fall, I won’t give it to you!” Liam pretended to be fierce and said.
However, the children were not afraid at all. They still looked at him with smiles. Then they lined up and waited obediently.
Liam was a little satisfied. Sure enough, it was useful for him to pretend to be fierce. In fact, it was useless. Except for a few timid people who were scared…
At first, Liam was still a little uncomfortable, but soon she integrated into it. His face was also infected by the happy atmosphere, revealing a child-like smile.
“Come on, children. Susie will continue to tell you stories today, okay?”
“Good!” The children replied in unison.
“Then I’ll test you and see who has the best memory. Where did our last story go?”
“I know! When it comes to that lamp god, he’s coming out.”
“That lamp god said he could fulfill three of his wishes.”
…
As the children talked, Susie continued with a smile.
The children quietly held their toys, ate lollipop, and listened to Susie’s story quietly and obediently.
When they heard the climax, they couldn’t help but hold their breath, for fear of disturbing Susie…
After the story was finished, the children were still somewhat unsatisfied.
