Marilyn noticed that the ward was very clean and well-ventilated, so she smiled and said, "Lottie, hello." Lottie looked very straightforward and smiled at Stephanie, saying, "Oh, you girl is getting more and more beautiful as you grow up. You're really lucky to have such a pretty daughter." Seeing her daughter being praised, Marilyn said with a grin, "Not really, this girl is quite naughty." "Young girls should be a little naughty. My own daughters are too quiet, always studying and reading books. I'm afraid they'll becbookworms in the future." "That's not bad, girls should be quiet and follow the rules." "I actually prefer a naughty daughter. But children all have their own fate; it depends on whether they are lucky enough." "You're right. Lottie, you will be very happy in the future. Your two daughters are very thoughtful." Lottie forced a smile and said, "It still depends on the family they were born into. In our rural families, boys are favored over girls. My two daughters are often looked down upon." Marilyn knew about the preference for boys in splaces, so she changed the subject, "Steph, are you on break from school?" "Yeah. I have a two-day break. Gillian and Maddie will cto see you tomorrow. They went hto be with their parents today." "Ah, they really are good friends. Tomorrow, I will wear the clothes that Seb bought for me. I can't let our Steph lose face." Stephanie said, "Mom, don't worry. Maddie and Gillian are not vain people." "I just want you to look better. At least I should look healthy, so others won't look down on you for having a sick mother." Stephanie knew that her mom's generation had their own ideas, so she didn't argue with her and just smiled, "Mom, just be happy and wear whatever you like." "By the way, Steph, do you have 3gh clothes? The weather is getting colder. Shall I go shet moresyou to buy a few more "Mom, don't worry. I have a great relationship with my classmates and I have Gillian. There are many clothing stores near our school, and we can go shopping anytafter school. Just rest well." "Alright then. Young people will have more fun shopping together." Stephanie spent the whole afternoon in the hospital with her mom, always worried that the psycho would barge into the hospital after waking up. Luckily, no one cin all afternoon. Until the evening, he never showed and Stephanie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
May that guy realize that he can't mess with her and stop bothering her. If he doesn't... any consequences are his own fault. After dinner, Stephanie took a walk with her mom at the hospital entrance to help with digestion. Suddenly, her phone rang.
Stephanie glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was the nightclub owner from before.
She immediately said to her mom, "Mom, I need to take a call." "Who is calling?"
"It's the owner of the place I used to up." work, probably something Cprobably
"You take it, then... I'm feeling tired and going back inside. The content istomnovelenglish.net! "Okay."
As Marilyn went back upstairs, Stephanie answered the phone and heard an anxious male voice, "Stephanie! You have to save me!" Stephanie could hear chaos on the other end of the phone. She frowned and asked, "Boss! Is someone causing troubles?" X
