Chapter 233
The slap was so loud that it made everyone at the door look sideways at them.
The boy’s friends felt ashamed, took two steps back silently, and walked away from him.
The boy refused to give in and shouted loudly, “I won it in a fair game. Why can’t I take the money?”
The woman pointed at his nose and ordered, “Take out the money and return it to her. Now”
The boy said, “No, I won’t.”
The woman said, “Do you want me to beat you?”
The boy said, “Go ahead. Kill me, if you dare!”
The woman shouted, “You!”
The woman was furious. She raised her hand again, but her arm trembled.
Mandy walked over and said to the woman sternly, “Ma’am, we gave him the money. We agreed to have a bet.
“He won the money. He should be the one to decide what to do with it. You have no right to ask him to return it.”
The woman was speechless, unable to retort to Mandy’s argument. She felt embarrassed, unsure whether to keep her hand
up.
Mandy said to the boy like an adult, “But Quinlyn said gambling was not good.
“It’s fine to gamble small now, but it’s easy to get addicted to it later.”
The last sentence changed the boy’s expression. He immediately became angry.
He said, “None of your business!”
The woman immediately said, “Gil, don’t be so rude.” She apologized to Mandy with embarrassment and then said, “How about I
treat you two to a fast food restaurant?”
Fast food restaurants were unhealthy so Mandy wanted to refuse.
But based on the woman’s clothes, Mandy knew she was from a poor family so fast food was probably the most she could afford.
So Mandy said nothing.
In the end, the four of them went to a chain store across the road.
Before Quinlyn entered the store, she asked the bodyguards beside the car not to investigate anything.
Quinlyn thought the mother and son in front of her were not a threat.
The boy was reluctant at first. After sitting down, he crossed his arms stubbornly.
He said, “I’m not eating.”
Mandy said, “I’ll have fries.”
Quinlyn said, “I’d like a Coke.”
The woman looked at them in surprise. “Aren’t you hungry?”

The woman smiled, “No, I didn’t have much work today
That was not true,
She was limpány, all the way here,
The boy forced her to sit down.
But before the med was served, the women tell uskED
When their number was called, the boy took her phone, you the book, and wofed down the burger afer giving Quinin and Mandy
their food.
But he didn’t touch anything che that came with the combo, not even the ste
After a while, an unopened Coke was pented to him.
The boy was taken aback. He looked at Quirlyn, who was sitting dow to Mandy, who was sharing her fries.
They were eating cautiously, without making a sound, obviously afraid of waking the woman
He felt a pang of guilt, but still, he didn’t return the 20 dollars to them
He peeled the wrapper around the straw, ducked her head, and sipped the soda, swallowing the burger in his mouth.
He covered the rest of the food, planning to leave it for his mother.
After Quinlyn and Mandy finished the fries, they didn’t leave right away, which would be rude.
The woman had only been asleep for half an hour when her phone suddenly rang
Just as the boy reached for the phone, she woke up and answered the call.
She said, “Hello? Okay, got it. I’ll be right back.”
The woman bolted upright from her chair, knocking over the soda on the table.
Ignoring the ice cubes scattered across the table, she grabbed the boy’s hand, looking worried.
She said. “We need to go to the hospital! Grandma fell at home!”
The boy froze for a moment before rushing out with the woman, forgetting to even say goodbye to Quinlyn and Mandy.
The two of them hurried away.

Mandy looked at them for a while, seeming a little worried. “Let’s go
Quinlyn picked up their small backpacks and took Mandy’s hand before following the boy out of the store,
It started to drizzle, and the wind of late winter blew past them, biting cold,
The bodyguards came over with umbrellas and escorted them to the car.
Just as they were about to head back to the city, they saw the mother and son, their arms crossed, looking around frequently
because they couldn’t get a taxi.
It was a cold and rainy day. The road was congested.
Taxi drivers all decided to call it a day.
The woman said, “Gil, are you cold?
The woman was afraid her son would catch a cold, so she quickly pointed at a coffee shop behind them.
The boy shook his head, felt his mother’s hand, which was as cold as ice, and warmed it up for her.
The street was lit up by rushing cars but no one was taking her order on the app.
Suddenly, a limo pulled up in front of them.
The rear door opened, revealing Mandy’s cute little face.
Mandy said, “Ma’am, we can give you a ride.”
Quinlyn was sitting in the car silently.
The
woman was surprised that they were children from rich families. She anxiously wanted to go to the hospital so she had to drag
the boy into the car.
The door closed, and the warm air blew on them slowly. The mother and son’s limbs finally started tingling back to life.
Mandy enthusiastically gave them towels and hot drinks.
Looking at the table and the fridge in the car, the woman and her son felt a little uneasy.
The woman said, “Sorry, the seat is wet.”
She wiped the water off the leather seat with her hand.
Mandy smiled, “It’s okay. The car is Quinlyn. She won’t mind. Right?”
She sounded like it was a prank.
Quinlyn sighed, “We’re going hiking at five tomorrow.”
Mandy wailed, “What? We’re training tomorrow? Do you want me to turn into a muscular woman?”
“Muscles aren’t that easy to build. And...” Quinlyn paused and then continued, “In case something happens, you will need to be
able to protect yourself.”
Mandy said, “Okay.”

Mandy was dejected but she knew it made seme
Quinlyn survived Rainbow Island. She knew there were many evils underneath the seemingly orderly socery. The Sele toe
should help the people around her become stronger,
The two changed the subject, which made the woman feel a lot more at ease
The boy looked dejectedly out the window along the way. When they finally arrived at the hospital entrance, he was the first to
open the door and get out
After thanking Mandy and Quinlyn, the woman hurried away.
Mandy said, “Quinlyn, do you think they are having a hard time? I want to follow them
Only then did Mandy reveal her true feelings.
She knew that there were many bad people but she didn’t think the mother and son looked like one of them
Quinlyn glanced at the hospital gate. “Let’s go then
They were already here. She thought they might as well follow them
The emergency room inside the hospital was crowded with all kinds of patients.
The old woman broke her leg
When Quinlyn arrived, she found her thigh bone was already twisted. She would probably have to use a wheelchair in the future.
The woman was on the phone outside, her voice intermittently drifting in
The woman said, “What do you mean you’re busy? She’s your mother! How can you just ignore her like this?
“I’m basically the only one who’s taking care of her. Well, you should at least pay for the medical expenses. I don’t have money,
