Chapter 328: 304: The Elder
Back then, the little girl kept calling him “Brother Arthur” and always wanted him to hold her. He hadn’t even held his own niece before.
But he would hold her while eating at the table.
He really thought of her as his own sister.
Everyone used to search for her, but now, all of a sudden
“Is Uncle Lane alright?”
“He’s fine.” William Lane replied, “His blood pressure just suddenly went up a bit. A doctor is with him.”
Kevin Clark stayed silent for a while and didn’t say anything else.
After all, he was just an outsider, and the people who were suffering the most were the Lane family.
“Well, let me welcome you on behalf of the Research Institute first.”
William Lane chuckled.
“Dean Yue is hospitalized and very busy recently,” Kevin Clark said, “Take a couple of days to get used to everything, and then you can help me share the work.”
“Alright. I’m just free anyway.”
When Daisy Zane arrived at Senior Three Class Sixteen, there were 5 minutes left before the morning self-study. She greeted Skyler Thomas and took a seat.
The other people involved in recording the show were there as well, and Turner Daniels had returned too.
As soon as Daisy Zane sat down, Turner Daniels placed his milk tea on her desk, “Daisy, it’s hot.”
Daisy Zane glanced at the milk tea and said, “Thank you.”
Turner Daniels smiled, shook his head, and returned to his seat.
The moment the morning self-study bell rang, Olivia Lane walked in, right on time.
Skyler Thomas had an emotionless expression while watching her.
Olivia Lane glared back at her, then walked at her leisurely pace to her seat.
As she walked over, Daisy Zane looked at her and immediately noticed her swollen eyes.
And she also saw her wilting, obviously in a bad mood.
After Olivia Lane sat down, Daisy Zane asked, “Little girl, have you been crying?”
“You’re the one who’s been crying!” Olivia Lane glared at her and said, “This is from drinking too much water last night.”
Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything else.
Olivia Lane was silent for a moment, then looked at Daisy’s hand and asked, “How’s your hand?”
Daisy Zane extended her left hand toward her, “It’s almost healed.”
The medicine from the Research Institute was very effective.
Her hand had long since stopped swelling.
Even the bruises had almost disappeared.
Seeing that Daisy was almost healed, Olivia Lane nodded and didn’t say anything else, staring blankly at the table.
After morning self-study, Daisy Zane went to eat with George Dunn and the others.
Kevin Clark and William Lane had said not to bring food for his girlfriend anymore, so the Lane family didn’t prepare any extra for her.
At the cafeteria, they got their food and Daisy Zane sat across from Celeste Martin. George Dunn sat beside Daisy, while Turner Daniels sat across from him.
The four of them chatted casually while eating. The students from their class didn’t join them today, and the surrounding people were just photographers and staff, so their conversation was quite casual.
Daisy Zane sometimes chimed in while eating.
After finishing breakfast, Daisy Zane had to take her medicine, which had become a habit.
Not only did she get used to it, but George Dunn and the others also got used to it.
George Dunn finished eating first and was about to get hot water for Daisy Zane’s tea, but Turner Daniels intercepted him and said, “Give it to me, and I’ll get hot water too.”
George Dunn glanced at him and didn’t think much of it. He handed the glass to Turner Daniels and sat back down.
Celeste Martin watched Turner Daniel walk away and suddenly smiled, “Brook God, Turner is really attentive to you. He brought you milk tea this morning and also fetched water for you.”
As she said this, Daisy Zane was peeling a fried egg. It might not have been cooked properly, so it was particularly hard to peel. She kept peeling off chunks of egg white.
Daisy Zane peeled slowly, her patience gradually wearing thin.
Hearing Celeste’s words, she didn’t respond directly.
George Dunn frowned slightly.
But Celeste didn’t intend to stop there: “The milk tea from that store is so popular, it’s incredibly hard to get. You’d usually have to wait in line for at least an hour. And they don’t even open in the morning. I don’t know how Turner managed it.”
Having peeled half of the egg into a creviced mess, Daisy Zane suddenly missed Kevin Clark, thought of James Collins, and even Charles Amos.
If any of them were here, it wouldn’t be her turn to struggle with this egg.
“You should be as attentive,” Daisy Zane looked up at Celeste and said softly.
Celeste froze for a moment, then forced a smile, “Brook God, what do you mean by that?”
“I mean, you’ll have to face the consequences of being overly attentive,” Daisy Zane said without leaving her any face-saving opportunity.
The warning was very clear.
Celeste looked into the coldness that flashed in Daisy’s eyes, and her heart couldn’t help but tremble.
The calmness she’d tried to maintain on the surface was slowly collapsing due to Daisy’s casual coldness.
Has she been found out?
The news on the internet was withdrawn so quickly that it must have been Kevin Clark who intervened.
Did Kevin find out about her? But she used a black card.
And even if she was caught, how come no one had come after her in two days?
Celeste kept comforting herself not to scare herself, and she had to hold on and stay steady. But thinking this way, her face still turned pale.
Seeing the situation, George immediately pulled Daisy Zane’s clothes from under the table.
This part would definitely be cut out, so the videography was not a big issue. There were just many students around, and it wasn’t good for this scene to be seen.
Daisy Zane wouldn’t cause a scene, so when she felt George tugging on her clothes, she looked down and continued to peel the egg in her hand.
Seeing this, the director group found an excuse and said they had something to discuss with Celeste, and asked her to leave.
Celeste couldn’t stand Daisy Zane’s gaze at all, so she hurried away as soon as the director called her.
As soon as she left, George Dunn smiled and asked, “Did she annoy you?”
Daisy Zane didn’t say anything, but took a bite of the egg and chewed slowly.
Turner Daniel soon came back, and he put the glass next to Daisy Zane.
Daisy Zane thanked him, finishing the last bite of the egg and starting to tear the medicine packet.
“Where’s Celeste?” Turner Daniel asked.
“She was called away by the director. It seemed like there was an issue,” George chatted casually, “I thought you weren’t coming back after you left last week.”
“No, my grandpa had an accident. I went to M Continent.” Turner Daniel rested his cheek on his hand, his face still showing the innocence of a teenager in his teens, but his eyes were mature, “But after recording this show, I might quit the circle.”
“Is it serious?” George Dunn frowned, subconsciously feeling that his grandfather’s accident must have been major.
“It’s not serious for my grandfather. He broke his leg. It’s just that he’s getting old and needs some time to recover.”
George, from a wealthy family himself, could understand his mindset.
When someone took care of their family matters, they could indulge outside and do what they liked.
But when something happened at home that they needed to take responsibility for, they had to put aside their external affairs.
Apparently, Turner Daniel had to return home to take over the family business at a young age.
Upon hearing the words M Continent, accident, broken leg, and old age, Daisy Zane immediately thought of three characters in her mind.
Ezekiel Santiago.
Same surname
This Turner Daniel is he Dean Yue’s grandson?
As Daisy Zane thought about it, she glanced at Turner Daniel and then raised her eyebrows.
She was a generation older than him.
