Halsey smiled, her lips curving up as she replied to Tina, "I didn't want to disturb you, so I usually just meet Dwight at school."Tina chuckled softly, clearly pleased.At that moment, Anthony arrived, and Halsey stepped outside.In the director's office, Anthony handed Halsey the medical report. "Ms. Lincoln, the patient's test results are in."Halsey looked at him expectantly. "How did it turn out?"Anthony shook his head. "The patient is in the late stages of cancer."What?!Halsey froze. "Late stages of cancer? Are you sure? Mrs. Garner has always been so healthy.""I'm certain," Anthony replied. "She likely had cancer for several years. She was aware of it but never sought treatment, nor did she tell anyone. The cancer has spread to her heart and brain. She has about two months left."Halsey slumped into the chair, stunned. She couldn't believe it—only two months left for Tina.Why hadn't she said anything when she was diagnosed? Why hadn't she sought treatment?And D

"I feel like God heard my prayers," Tina murmured, her voice soft and wistful. "Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Dwight has grown up. I know my time is running out. How much longer did the doctor say I have?"Halsey's beautiful almond-shaped eyes misted over with unshed tears. "He said you have about two months left."Tina whispered, almost to herself, "Two months… That's not a lot of time."Halsey immediately gripped Tina's hand tighter. "Don't worry, Mrs. Garner. I've arranged for Dr. Willis to give you the best treatment. We'll fight for more time."Tina turned toward Halsey. "Halsey, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be here. We owe you a debt of gratitude. Our family may be poor, but we don't like owing anyone anything. I'll leave the hospital today, and you won't have to trouble yourself with me anymore.""Mrs. Garner..." Halsey began, but she knew there was no convincing Tina. Just like Dwight, Tina had her pride. Halsey didn't press the matter, but

Dwight's lips were cold, and the sensation of the kiss felt unexpectedly nice. Halsey, though inexperienced, had seen people kiss before, but she hadn't realized how pleasant it could feel.Dwight stayed rigid, not moving. He didn't close his eyes, and he noticed that neither did she. Her large, beautiful eyes were full of innocence and curiosity. When young boys and girls reached a certain age, they naturally became curious and eager to explore and experience intimacy with someone they had feelings for—it was something innocent and bold at the same time.Halsey's soft, red lips were pressed against his, and soon, she sucked his bottom lip.A wave of heat surged through Dwight, starting from his sensitive lower back and spreading out, leaving him with a tingling, almost dizzying sensation that made his eyes bloodshot.Now, with Halsey's arms wrapped around his neck, their bodies were pressed together, and it didn't take long for her to notice something different in his body.S

What?Wendy gasped, her eyes widening. "You did it? What did you do?"Halsey held up two fingers, lightly tapping them together. "We kissed."Wendy sighed in relief—she thought Halsey and Dwight might have already taken things further.She gave Halsey a curious look. "Do you really have feelings for Dwight?"Halsey's mind flashed with an image of Dwight's cold, handsome face. Her heart began to race, her feelings stirring in a way she couldn't control. So, this was what falling in love felt like.She shyly nodded. "Yes."Wendy looked like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she kept quiet. Love was between two people, and everyone else was just a third party.Half an hour later, they arrived at the Lincoln family's house. Wendy and Halsey walked inside.Wendy still didn't know Halsey's true identity, and Halsey had planned to find a moment to explain things to her. She had made sure to give everyone a heads-up today—no one was allowed to reveal her identity."Ms…. Ms

Wendy and Halsey got into the car and drove off, leaving Stanley and Cyril standing outside. Stanley eyed Cyril suspiciously. "Uncle Cyril, what's going on with you?"Only when Wendy and Halsey's car had completely disappeared from sight did Cyril pull his gaze away. He looked at Stanley. "What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine. I feel great."Stanley raised an eyebrow. "You might want to take a look at the way you were bowing and scraping to Wendy just now."Stanley had never seen Cyril act like this before.Cyril bristled. "Bow and scrape? I was just showing respect. You wouldn't understand."Showing respect? Stanley was confused. Why would he show respect to Wendy?He felt like Cyril must've been confused."I wanted to talk to Wendy, and you interrupted me. I wanted to ask her if she's been seeing Samuel."At the mention of Samuel, Cyril nodded. "I think she is."Stanley was curious. "Why do you think so?"Cyril gave Stanley a look from head to toe before replying with a s
