Chapter 68 - Grandpa, Why Dont I Tell You Some Trivia?
She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment
Nora said to Melissa, âWeâll go for that kindergarten, Aunt Melissa. Iâll take Cherry there and give it a go.â
Then, she got up, went out the door, and picked up the call.
An aged and stern voice came from the other end of the call. âWhere are you?â
It was her traditional medicine teacher, Silvester Zabe.
At the thought of how serious and stern of a man he was, Nora subconsciously straightened her back and answered, âIâm in New York, sir. Whatâs the matter?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Silvester slowly replied, âOh. The Smiths are looking for you; they want you to treat someoneâs illness.â
The Smiths? Ian Smith?
Just as Nora was about to say that she would go, Silvester said, âYou donât have to go. He isnât sick; he just doesnât want to live anymore.â
ââ¦â
âHis internal organs are failing. Currently, theyâre using the Carefree Pill to keep him alive. Even if you do go over, can you make him regain his will to live?â
Nora had no words for that. She reckoned that Ian would probably wish to die even more if he saw her.
She sighed mentally. Then, she asked carefully, âOkay. Can I visit you tomorrow, sir?â
Silvester was already over 90 years old this year, but the elderly man nevertheless spoke clearly. He replied, âNo, itâs fine. Iâm already old; thereâs nothing to see here. You passing down my skills in traditional medicine would be the best way of repaying my kindness.â
However, the old manâs indifference instead made Nora tear up.
Without him, she would probably have already died several times.
She cast her eyes down and said, âIn that case, let me know if you ever want to see me.â
âYouâre not a kid anymore, so why are you still so clingy? Stop it!â After saying that, Silvester said, âIâm hanging up.â
Beep⦠beep⦠beepâ¦
Nora looked at her cell phone and heaved a soft sigh. That old manâs temper was as weird as ever.
The night passed peacefully.
When Cherry woke up the next morning, Nora was still asleep.
She tiptoed gently across the carpet, closing the door only after she entered the study.
Then, she picked up her cell phone and sent Chester a text message: âChesty, are you ready?â
Chester replied instantly: âIâve already registered a live stream account for you, so you can officially start live streaming now!â
âOkie-Dokie!â
Cherry climbed up the chair and planted her tiny self on the big swivel chair. She pushed her foot against the table and turned the chair straight. Then, she turned on Noraâs computer.
Chester chuckled and texted: âItâs your first live stream today, Cherry. Letâs do something a little special today so that you can attract more fans!â
Cherryâs big dark eyes lit up and she replied: âOkay! What shall we do?â
Chester, who was in his room at the Huntsâ, replied: âLetâs compete in the live stream!â
Cherry eagerly replied: âNo problem! Iâll beat you for sure!â
âHeh heh.â Chester replied smugly: âA contest in a live stream isnât dependent on the game but the fansâ monetary tips! I have 10 million fans, so Iâll definitely beat you!â
Chester had suffered his little nieceâs dissing in the game for over half a year.
Now, he was going to stand tall and regain his dignity as her uncle!
He would let his little niece see just how crazy his fans are.
Cherry wrote: âIâll definitely be better at this than you!â
Chester grinned and started a new live stream. âHello everyone! This is Chesty. Today, I will introduce a new friend to all of you. Sheâs my team leader! Yes, sheâs none other than the cutie with a little girlâs voice who loves playing as the heroine with the huge cannon! Everyone, please show her lots of support!â
At the Smiths.
Ian had woken up in the morning.
The servant quickly told him that Joel had watched over him all night the previous day.
Joel, whose eyes were all red, held his hand and said, âUncle Ian, the Smiths still need you. I canât head the family by myself yet. You canât just leave all of this behind and go.â
Joel was lying.
He was even more outstanding than himself back then, yet he was putting on an act like that.
Ian smiled weakly. âIâm fine.â
A touch of sorrow flashed across Joelâs eyes. He picked up the cell phone and handed it to Ian in an attempt to pique his interest. He said, âI remember you used to like playing games, Uncle Ian. This game is very popular now. How about trying it out?â
The reason why he had played games in the past was that she was still with him back then.
Ian actually wasnât very interested in games. He said dispassionately, â⦠I donât know how to play it.â
âItâs fine.â Joel opened a live stream app and said, âItâs pretty interesting to watch others play, too! You can even learn how to play just by watching.â
He opened a random live stream and placed the cell phone at a corner on the side within Ianâs line of vision.
Ian didnât have the heart to refuse his nephewâs kindness, so he simply looked over casually.
A soft and tender voice could already be heard coming from the live stream.
âChesty, why are my points so low?â
Chester replied, âThatâs because the points are calculated using the total amount of tips you receive from fans through the virtual gifts they send you! You donât have many fans yet! Hehe, come on, everyone! Iâm always being trashed by sweetcherry in the game, so Iâm going to give her a taste of how it feels to be trashed this time!â
âsweetcherryâ?
Ian was taken aback for a moment.
He remembered that Yvetteâs game alias had been âlollipopâ back then. When he teased her for using such a sweet-sounding name, she had replied, âWhatâs wrong with that? If I have a daughter in the future, Iâll play games with her and give her the alias âsweetcherryâ, and have you die of diabetes from all the sugar!â
âsweetcherryââ¦
Ian stretched out his pale and feeble arm and took hold of the cell phone. Right away, a face-off screen entered his sight. sweetcherry only had a few hundred points while her opponent Chesty had a few thousand points.
He suddenly gained a little interest.
When Chester raised his head, he suddenly discovered that Cherryâs total number of points had exceeded his. He immediately exclaimed, âWhat the f*ck?! What happened?â
Cherry exclaimed excitedly, âSomeone just gave me a huge tip! I canât even keep count anymore!â
Chester did a count and found that the person had actually given her a $80,000 tip in one go!
Shocked, he urged, âQuick, greet your Sponsor Daddy! Thank you for the tip, Sponsor Daddy!â
Cherry was very troubled, though. She said, âBut I already have a Daddy!â
She tilted her head, bit her finger, and thought about it for a while. Then, her eyes suddenly lit up and she exclaimed, âI know, Iâll have Mommy call him Daddy instead! So, that means heâs Grandpa! Thank you for the tip, Grandpa!â
While talking, another notification saying she had received an $80,000 tip scrolled across the screen.
It instantly dealt a crushing blow to Chesterâs points.
âF*ck!â He was angry now. âDonât be so arrogant! I also have sponsors!â
He immediately posted a link to the live stream on his Facebook page and wrote: âHey everyone! Those with money, please show some support! Those without, go away.â
Most of Chesterâs friends were wealthy people, and they usually gave tips worth a few thousand dollars for fun.
After making the post, his score indeed started to rise.
At this time, Justin was currently seated in his office in the Hunt Corporationâs office tower.
Beside him, Pete was studying.
He opened his Facebook page and immediately saw Chesterâs post.
Bored, he opened the link.
He immediately heard a tender voice coming from the live stream: âSponsor Grandpa, in order to thank you for giving me such big tips, Iâll tell you some trivia!â
