William Lane received the message in the morning and rushed back from F Continent. After getting off the airplane, he called Kevin Clark and went straight to the school.
As Olivia left the school and saw Williamās car, she immediately slowed down, walking towards it little by little.
William sat in the backseat, watching her come out. He lowered the car window and looked at her moving towards him quietly.
Five minutes later, Olivia finally moved to the side of the car, looked inside at her brother through the window, and squeezed a smile, āBrother, why did you come back?ā
William didnāt answer her, just saying, āGet in the car.ā
Olivia pursed her lips, opened the car door, and got in.
After sitting down, she stole a glance at her brother with a turn of her eyes.
The driver started the car and drove towards the Lane family home.
William glanced at her, his light thin lips gently pursed. After a while, he said, āOlivia, what did I say last time?ā
His tone was flat, and his voice was somewhat cold. But he didnāt yell at her angrily.
Olivia lowered her head and didnāt say anything.
āWhy donāt you listen, why skip class, and why avoid the people following you?ā William, wearing a white shirt, had a cool and gentle temperament. His eyes hid the usual smile, and his voice was uncharacteristically serious, āOlivia, I need an explanation.ā
Olivia still didnāt say anything with her head down.
William waited for a while and said, āSpeak.ā
āBrother, Iām sorry.ā Olivia said, pinching her fingers.
āYouāre not sorry to me; youāre sorry to yourself,ā William said, āYouāre wasting your life. Do you want to be stuck in Senior Three when youāre twenty?ā
Olivia didnāt say anything again.
āLast time Henry Clark took you away, didnāt he tell you not to lose the people following you ever again?ā Williamās tone became even more serious. āYou take your brotherās words for granted. If it wasnāt for Arthurās girlfriend today, do you think you could be sitting here safe and sound? Henry Clark is after your life.ā
Olivia clenched the paper in her pocket that Daisy Zane had written on.
āOlivia, Arthurās girlfriend got injured saving you; you should be grateful that itās just a swelling,ā William said. āWhat if her arm had been broken or disabled? Have you ever thought about how you and the Lane family will explain it to Arthur and the Clark family?ā
The driver in front drove the car and glanced at his young master through the rearview mirror. It was the first time he had seen him speak so harshly to his sister.
āArthur put his girlfriend on a pedestal, do you think sheād let you off easily if it werenāt for the Lane familyās sake?ā William continued, āOlivia, your brother can cover for you if you usually cause a little trouble, but now youāve become willful to the point of endangering your own life or othersā.ā
āI didnāt do that,ā Olivia said quietly.
āWhat didnāt you do?ā William asked, āDid you not skip class by climbing the wall, or did you not get someone injured because of you?ā
After that sentence, both of them stopped talking.
William looked at her, while Olivia hung her head, still clutching the paper in her pocket.
The neon lights outside the car retreated into blurred shadows. The prolonged silence inside the car seemed to darken the light.
āWhy are you silent again?ā William broke the silence. š³reš²š ešnš¼vš²l.cšØš¦
As soon as he said this, he saw Olivia lower her head, and a tear fell.
William watched the teardrop, his eyelashes trembling fiercely, and the fingers on his lap suddenly clenched.
Olivia hurriedly raised her hand and wiped away the tear, then looked out the window.
āOliviaā¦ā Williamās voice instantly softened.
Olivia kept looking outside and didnāt speak.
William gently took her arm, turned her around, and wiped the tears that came out again with his hand, āIām sorry, I was too harsh.ā
Olivia nodded, then shook her head.
āAlright, donāt cry,ā William said, holding her face and wiping away her tears.
Olivia sobbed a couple of times, choking back tears, āI-I know Iām wrong. I-I didnāt do it on purpose.ā
āItās brotherās fault, brotherās tone was too heavy.ā
āHmm.ā
āIām sorry.ā
Daisy Zane sniffed twice and said quietly, āItās okay.ā
āAlright, stop crying.ā
āMmm,ā Daisy Zane replied softly.
William Lane put his arm around her and gently patted her shoulder while his other hand stroked her head. When she had stopped crying, he finally let go of her.
āBrother, when will you leave?ā
āIāll stay with you until the weekend is over,ā William Lane replied.
Daisy Zane smiled, with her eyes still red.
William Lane touched her head and asked, āAuntie said you didnāt eat dinner. Do you want me to take you out to eat?ā
āI ate in the cafeteria.ā
William Lane looked surprised, āDid you eat enough?ā
āMmhmm.ā
After that, the two of them were silent for a while. After some time, William Lane said, āDaisy Zane, Iāll say this for the last time: no matter what youāre doing, have someone with you. Do you understand?ā
Daisy Zane looked at him and nodded, āMmhmm.ā
āIāll let you have your way with everything else, but you have to listen to me on this matter,ā William Lane tucked her hair behind her ear, āI donāt want to hear news like todayās anymore,ā he said.
āMmhmm.ā
Seeing her obediently agree, a smile appeared in William Laneās eyes, and then he asked, āDo you really like Arthur Northās girlfriend?ā
Upon mention of Daisy Zane, Daisy Zane suddenly looked at the street outside and said, āBrother, Iām not going home. I have to go back to school.ā
āHuh?ā William Lane thought he had heard wrong; with him at home, his sister wasnāt going back to their house, āWhat for?ā
āItās just that Daisy Zaneās hand needs medicine,ā Daisy Zane said, as if she was reluctant to admit her concern. āI just wanted to see if she needs my help.ā
William Lane raised an eyebrow. It seemed like she really liked her a lot.
It just made him more curious.
His sister believed this person to be very beautiful and cared so much for her. The person was also very capable of fighting.
What kind of sacred person did Kevin Clark find?
āOur little Daisy Zane has grown up, youāve learned to care for others now.ā
Daisy Zane pouted.
William Lane told the driver, āTurn around and go back to the school.ā
āAlright.ā
Once back at the school, Daisy Zane didnāt return to the classroom. Instead, she sat in the stands on the playground for a while, and only returned to the dormitory after evening self-study was over.
When she got back, Daisy Zane was on the balcony making a phone call. Daisy Zane sat on a chair, playing with her cell phone for a while.
After ten minutes, everyone else went to wash up. Daisy Zane only came inside the dormitory from the balcony.
As soon as she opened the balcony door and saw Daisy Zane, Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, āYouāre back?ā
āWhy did you make such a long phone call?ā
Daisy Zane looked at her with a smile in her eyes, seeming to see through her every thought but said nothing.
Daisy Zane felt as if she had been exposed. She stood up and said, āLetās go! Wash up! Lights out soon.ā
āWhy are you in such a hurry today?ā Daisy Zane asked deliberately as she walked towards her bed.
āItās my pleasure.ā
Daisy Zane chuckled and said, āAlright, letās wash up.ā
