"What happened afterwards?" He raised his eyebrows.
Anika smiled and added quietly, "Mr.Kes told me that I went to the orphanage the year of the college entrance exam when I contacted the orphanage.He stated that he would want to pay me college tuition expenses."
At that time, when Anika left the orphanage, Mr.Kes only said that her relatives had come to look for her, but he didn't tell them where she was.
Sir Denvers knew that she had good grades and would definitely be admitted to university, but he was worried that her so-called relatives would not pay her tuition fees.
She did receive a lot of kindness during her days at the orphanage.
Anika noticed that Zac stared at her face for a while, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?"
Zac grabbed her palm, his lips twisted, and he replied, "No, I was thinking about how amazing your dean is.He was an excellent teacher and caretaker of you"
All the kindness she received came from her kindness and gratitude.
Even though she lived in X County, she had always worked hard to make herself outstanding and never slacked off.
Anika was stunned.
She replied softly and muttered, "Mr.Kes is indeed a very good person.''
Before the Principal left, she had not forgotten to send her a few precious gifts, but when he died, Anika wasn't able to visit him.
At the very least, she owed Kayden a favor in this matter.
Zac mirrored her expression on his own.
His eyes darkened, but he remained silent.
There were no students on the large campus, so it was very quiet.
"This Middle School hasn't changed much.’ Anika led Zac into the high school building.
She saw a timetable in a corridor.
A familiar view, so she smiled and said to him, "There are many examinees in X Province every year.The quality of teaching in this Middle School is not the best, but it is strictly controlled.At that time, I had to get up at six o'clock every day to study early, and I would not return to the dormitory until ten o'clock in the evening.’ Zac gave her a sidelong glance when he heard this.
"It's no surprise that I'm going to feel so strong and energetic in the following two years."
After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Anika, you even said that I am a cockfight.I think you have more fighting spirit than me."
I was savoring the moment.
Anika gave him a sidelong glance before turning her attention away.
‘’All of a sudden” she added "I found it.Take a look at this."
Her slender fingers pointed at the bulletin board on the side wall of the corridor, with a few photographs stuck on it.
The first one was somewhat familiar.
It was written on the bottom of the photo with a fountain pen ...
Excellent Graduate: Anika, A University.
There were also photos of other people beside her.
They were all students who had passed the entrance exam to a famous school, standing side by side with her.
Facing her proud gaze, Zac's gaze paused slightly.
He suddenly remembered the expression on her face when she looked at the school bulletin board every time she scored in the third year of senior high school.
It was a rare time for her to be happy.
He gazed at her from afar now and then, but he couldn't tell if her satisfaction sprang from her high position or from the fact that there was always someone's name next to hers.
"What's wrong with you?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Anika felt that his expressions were a little strange.
Zac suppressed the emotions in his heart.
The corner of his mouth hooked slightly and patted her head, "It's nothing."
Anika frowned slightly.
This was the first time she'd recognized his muddled feelings, but she didn't know how to soothe them because of her apathy.
Zac didn't say anything.
After coming out of school, the two of them ate something nearby and then returned to the hotel.
Anika had observed that Zac had been hiding his feelings since his arrival in JH City, but every time she confronted him about it, the guy used his poor stance to deflect her inquiry.
She didn't know how to deal with his stubbornness.
Rudolf called early the next morning, saying that a youngster named Belle had heard that she was leaving X County the next day after they had swept the tomb.
As a result, Anika prepared a special gift for her.
Thus, before leaving to sweep the headmaster's grave, Zac drove her to the orphanage.
Anika walked out of the car after opening the door.
She went to Rudolf to get some supplies.
Zac sat in his car, waiting for her to arrive.
In the orphanage, the children had just finished their breakfast as some were already playing in the courtyard with smiles on their faces.
Passing through the canteen corridor, Anika took out her phone and was about to call Rudolf when she saw that he was talking to a young man not far away.
When the other party saw her, the corner of his mouth hooked slightly.
He turned to greet her and said, "Anika."
The person who spoke to Dean Rudolf was Harold.
"So Harold and Ms.Anika are acquaintances?"
Rudolf, who was at the side, seemed a little surprised.Harold had been studying at a university in Florida for many years, and he was more familiar with Rudolf than Anika, who had only spoken on the phone.
Noticing that Rudolf didn’t know the story behind their relationship, Harold nodded his head and said, "Yes, we do know each other.’’
He didn't explain anything else.
Mr.Kes warned Anika not to return to the orphanage when she rejoined the Meyer family.
She didn't want the subject of her orphanage upbringing to be brought up again and again, unable to escape being pointed to and having an impact on her life.
Rudolf looked at the two of them and also had a weird expression on his face.
He then said, "Then you guys talk first.I'll go call Belle”
Anika looked around and didn't see Pauline's figure, so she smiled and asked, "Where's Pauline?"
"We just arrived this morning.She was too sick and didn’t want to walk around much.I told her to rest in the hotel.Coincidentally, her phone ran out of battery.I was afraid that Rudolf would be waiting all the time, so I came over first."
After explaining briefly, Harold smiled and looked at her, "Anika, are you from X County?"
Anika shook her head, "No, I'm with my husband.I'll introduce you to him another day when we're free.’’
Even though Zac had been jealous of Harold several times, the two of them had never met.
Harold knew that Anika was married, but he didn't know who that person was.
He casually asked, "Is that the gentleman who called the principal?"
Anika was slightly stunned, then gently shook her head, "No! When Harold realized this, he looked at her expression and drew his words back.As he spoke, Rudolf led Belle over and interrupted their conversation.Belle still looked a little bashful.She hid behind the principal timidly and handed Anika a card that she had painted herself.
Anika's eyes were filled with a gentle smile.
She reached out and took it.
Anika touched Belle’s head, "It's a beautiful painting.I didn't know that you are very talented.Thank you, Belle."
Belle smiled at her, revealing her small white teeth, and then embarrassedly hid behind Rudolf again.
After a while, a girl ran to Belle's side, whispered a few words into her ear, and pulled Belle away.
Rudolf turned to Anika and said, "Look at the two kids playing in the courtyard...Belle had been kidnapped and was a victim of human trafficking.She has just spent a few months in the orphanage.Her parents have left an effect on her.She would dash out of the orphanage whenever an adult entered the courtyard, hoping to get a glimpse of her parents.Surprisingly, she is more friendly to you than she is to other people"
"Perhaps it's fate."
Her encounters with Belle were fairly similar.
After Anika finished speaking, she looked at the greeting card in her hand.
‘Girls in skirts, men in suits: Although the graffiti on the greeting card was very simple, it could be seen that the two people on it were her and Zac.
It was a very sweet painting.
After taking the greeting card, she thought that Zac was still waiting for her at the door.
She chatted briefly and said goodbye to Rudolf and Harold.
Just as she was about to walk out of the canteen's corridor, someone called out to her from behind.
Anika turned her head.
It was Harold.
"Anika...If it's still possible, could you assist me in asking Mr.Schultz for his grandfather's address?"
"Mr.Schultz?"
Anika frowned, her eyes filled with doubt.
Harold smiled and nodded "His grandpa, after all, was the former principal of the JH City Hospital.Mr.Schultz is unwell, which I learned by mistake.When he returns to JH City in two days, I'd want to pay him a visit.Deon, after all, aided Mr.Kes at the time and has some ties to me.’
When he got off the plane, Harold saw Mr.Schultz had taken Mr.Kes to the hospital, but he didn't dare to admit it for a moment and just missed it.
After Anika heard this, she clenched her hand into a fist.
The next second, she tightly pursed her lower lips and raised her eyebrows.
Her voice seemed to tremble, "Do you know what Mr.Haze is called?"
Harold was a little surprised, "If I remember correctly, I think it was Deon? I'm not sure if it's right.But it's what I remember”
