Chapter 853



‘Brysen.’ Kallie’s voice echoed, the concern clear on her face.

Brysen seemed oblivious, absorbed in her phone.

It wasn’t until Kallie reached out and gently took the device from his hands that Brysen came back to reality.

Startled, Brysen finally acknowledged Kallie, stuttering, ‘Miss…. Miss Nixon.’

Kallie sighed, feeling somewhat defeated.

‘You’re falling in love with someone, aren’t you?’

This only made Brysen feel more embarrassed.

She lowered her head, too shy to look Kallie in the eye.

‘It’s perfectly fine to be in love. I’m not keeping you from seeing anyone,’ Kallie assured Brysen, though her voice carried a hint of concern.

‘But look at you, you’re clearly not feeling well. Why keep writing? Just tell him you’re in the car and you’re in no condition to talk right now.’

Brysen nodded, feeling his stomach twist.

Without hesitation, Kallie passed him an orange.

The scent steadied Brysen a little.

With a grateful smile, Brysen explained, ‘I warned him before I got in the car. However, he insisted on continuing the conversation. If I don’t respond, he might worry.’

Kallie frowned, sensing something wasn’t right.

‘You don’t feel bad, you don’t mind?’

Shaking his head, Brysen immediately replied, ‘It’s not that.

He doesn’t know I suffer from dizziness. He just misses me, and the feeling is mutual.’

Kallie watched Brysen, clearly captivated, and chose her words carefully.

Love could be blinding.

Still, Kallie gently warned Brysen.

‘It’s wonderful to be in love, but remember to take care of yourself first.

You’re the most important thing.

You know what I mean, don’t you?’

As Kallie spoke, she handed the phone back to Brysen.

Brysen held it tightly, continued texting, but offered Kallie a brief nod of affirmation.

‘Understood, Miss Nixon.’

Kallie looked at Brysen, letting out a soft sigh, but decided to remain silent.

Young people often dreamed of love, only understanding its true nature through experience.

Kallie hoped she could spare Brysen the pain of a broken heart.

However, the decision was Brysen’s to make, and there was nothing Kallie could do about it.

When she arrived, the town chief and county manager were already at the door, ready to greet Kallie warmly.

Their gratitude to her was evident.

Kallie had funded the largest school in the area, designed to enrol as many students as possible.

The local landscape was attractive, although the area was underdeveloped, mainly due to the lack of roads.
