Chapter 229: A Good Friend Who Passed Away

[ System Divine Nine: there is still no evidence that your mother’s illness is due to you. However, since her condition has deteriorated after you were born, it should be related to you. ]

“If it’s related to me, then I’m the one who has harmed my mother!”

[ System Divine Nine: what I mean is perhaps your birth has attracted the attention of certain things. They are the ones that have harmed your mother. You are just an inducer. In fact, with your birth chart, if you spend more time accompanying your mother, it will improve her health conditions over time. It is because your aura will affect the people around you. At the same time, you’ll also help them drive the evil aura away. ]

Lauren Torres nodded, was that so?

This time, she was in a dilemma.

Little Nine said she was beneficial to her mother’s illness, but the people around her thought that she was the culprit.

So, should she stay by her mother’s side or not?

It was better to conclude after she visited her mother a few more times.

However, she must find out the reason. For Maria Julian to have become so weak, there must be a reason behind it.

To find out the answer, she would probably have to investigate way back four years ago.

At that time, it was Grandma who took charge of everything.

Grandma was the one who said she was a jinx to the Torres family. It was also her idea to send her away.

historical

Her relationship with Grandma was still bad.

Therefore..

There was no such thing as therefore. There was nothing she could do.

Lauren Torres rolled on the bed. It looked like this matter could only be put aside for the time being. For now, it was better to pay more attention to Maria Julian’s health condition.

Lauren Torres, who was shocked by Ruby Cromwell’s IQ during the Olympiad math class, began to study Olympiad math in her Magic Library.

Why was she not aware of such a thing called Olympiad math during her class in the past?

Now she had to work very hard and study very hard!

When Lauren Torres woke up the following morning, the sun was already high up in the sky.

She went downstairs after her change and saw Franklin Torres reading the newspapers while eating breakfast.

It was porridge with fried dough sticks for breakfast.

She ran over to sit on the chair and asked Franklin Torres who was sitting opposite her, “Brother, where did you go last night?”

“I went for a high school gathering.”

High school gathering?

Lauren Torres’s eyes lit up.

“Brother, I saw your photo when I was at Thomas Johnson High School the other day! Your photo was posted on the bulletin board and you were so handsome. It also mentioned that you were an outstanding graduate.”

Bringing up the past, Franklin Torres seemed to be missing those days.

He put down the newspapers.

“Yeah, I was really happy when I was in high school. All I needed to do every day was to study. I didn’t have to think about anything else.”

When Franklin Torres mentioned study, Lauren Torres suddenly remembered the Olympiad math question that she hadn’t done.

It was clear that studying was also very difficult!

Thinking of just studying every day.. Lauren Torres shivered.

She wouldn’t do that. She would end up doing math until all her hair fell out!

Seeing Franklin Torres suddenly reminisce about his past, Lauren Torres was excited. She had never heard him talk about his life in the past.

“Brother, when I was at Thomas Johnson High School the other day, I saw the photos of many brothers and sisters together with yours. Do you know them all?”

Franklin Torres shook his head. “I know some of them but I don’t for some. Some of them were a few years my junior. I graduated a long time ago, so naturally, I don’t know them.”

Franklin Torres wanted to say something but then stopped. Lauren Torres could instantly feel the change in his mood.

“What’s wrong, Brother?”

Franklin Torres signed. He had actually wanted to talk to a four-and-a-half-year-old little brat. But the truth was he didn’t have anyone else to talk to either.

“Actually, our high school gathering last night was for a very close classmate who passed away yesterday a year ago. We gathered together to reminisce him.”

Passed away?

Lauren Torres’s eyes widened.

“Brother, this classmate of yours.. What had happened to him?”

Franklin Torres put down the spoon in his hand.

“That day, his house was on fire. He ran into the fire to save his sister, but he and his sister didn’t come out in the end.”

Lauren Torres’s eyes continued to widen.

It was actually because of a fire.

“And he had a sister?”

Franklin Torres patted Lauren Torres’s head.

“Yes, he had a sister. She was so cute. I saw her once. If she were alive, she should be about your age.”

If she were alive..

Lauren Torres’s heart sank when she heard what Franklin Torres said.
