"It was them! Our neighbors saw it with their own eyes!"
Lisa shouted while tears fell from her eyes.
"He asked for money from Mom.She refused to give it t o him, so he did that to her!"
Mr.Fraiser looked at her silently.He stood there for a while before heading out to the hospital.
While looking at the door as it slowly closed, Lisa’s mind was filled with her father’s expression.
‘He doesn’t believe me"
When the thought surfaced in her head, she flung the cup on the table to the floor.
The next day, Daisie and Colton came to look for Lisa.
She knocked on the door for a long while, but no one opened the door.She turned her head around to
look at Colton and asked, "Brother, is Lisa not home?"
"No idea.I guess so."
Colton turned around.
"Let's go then."
Daisie nodded.
Initially, she wanted to check on Lisa.
However, it seemed to her that Lisa was not at home, so she decided to look for her when she came to
school.
When Daisie and Colton arrived at the district, they ran into Lisa’s father.
"Sir.I’m Daisie.Is Lisa not home?"
Mr.Fraiser was dumbfounded.
"I guess she went out."
After Mr.Fraiser went back into the building, Daisie lowered her head and said, "Colton, I’m worried
about Lisa."
Colton walked up to her and replied, "There’s nothing to worry about.She’ll be fine.I’m sure she'll come
to school in another few days."
After that, Daisie and Colton left the district.
When Mr.Fraisie arrived at his home, he pushed the door to Lisa’s room open.
He thought Lisa was not in the room, but when he saw Lisa was sleeping on her side under the
blanket, he quietly closed the door and left.
However, he did not know that Lisa had been awake.Her eyes were wide open as she stared out the
window gloomily.She could hear all the knocks on the door when Daisie came to look for her.
It was just that she pretended that she was not at home as she did not want to see anyone right now.
Two days later, Lisa finally returned to school.
When Daisie learned she was back, she went looking for her.
She stood in the corridor and waited for Lisa.
When Lisa emerged from the classroom, she went up to her with a smile on her face.
"Lisa, are you okay? I’m worried about you." Lisa shook her head.
"I’m alright."
"I went to look for you with Colton the other day, but you were not home," Daisie said as a smile broke
across her face.
"Well, I’m relieved that you’re fine."
Lisa did not say anything in return.
Suddenly, Daisie thought of something and pulled a simple shell bracelet out of her pocket.
"This is a shell bracelet I made for you myself.Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever made a gift for
you myself, and this is the first time."
Lisa was stunned.
"Let me put it on for you."
Daisie helped her to put on the shell bracelet.
"All done.Look, it fits you perfectly."
Touching the shell bracelet on her wrist, Lisa raised her head and said, "Thank you, Daisie."
After Lisa had returned to the classroom, she looked a t the shell bracelet on her wrist and removed
it.She threw it outside the window and continued to read her book as if nothing had happened.
At Bassburgh Airport...
Tanner was holding Noah with one arm while holding Pearl’s baggage with another.
Pearl was following beside him.
The driver had been waiting for him at the exit, and h e helped them to put their baggage into the car.
This was the first time Noah had traveled to a distant place, so he was a little bit scared.
He latched himself o n Tanner’s chest and held his neck tightly.
After getting into the car, Pearl took him from Tanner’s arms.
Noah lifted his head and asked, "Mommy, where are Grandpa Antonio and Grandma Kamala?"
Pearl caressed his head and looked outside through the window.
"Grandpa Antonio and Grandma Kamala aren't coming with us.They’ll come to visit you in the future."
Tanner wrapped his arm around Pearl's shoulder and said, "That’s right.They’ll come to visit you when
they’re free.From now onward, your other grandparents will look after you."
Noah turned his head to look at him.
"Then will Grandpa and Grandma like me?"
