Lewis looked at her, âHow is it familiar?â
Keira touched her chin and tilted her head. âI
remember that day when Jackson gave Nara a piece of jade. This one seems a bit like that one.â
After that, she suddenly looked up at Lewis. âHow old is Nara?â
Lewis hesitated. âHow would I know that?â
Keira immediately said, âShe seems about the same age. Could it be⦠Iâll go ask Nara later!â
As they spoke, the car entered the hospital gate.
Lewis dropped Keira off at the entrance and then went to the parking lot.
Keira quickly rushed upstairs.
Before entering the ward, she heard Matiasâs voice coming from inside. âNara, let go of me! Iâm justgoing to kowtow a few times. I canât let him delay your job-hunting because of me!â
Keira immediately stepped forward and saw Nara
tugging at Matias, trying to get him to stand up. She gestured with her fingers to express herself.âBrother, I donât need you to do this! Get up!â
Matias shook his head. âDonât worry about me. Let him
get this anger out of his system, and weâll have an easier time afterward. You studied so hard, alwayswaking up early and staying up late. Before the college entrance exam, I remember you only slept fivehours a day and used ginger to stay awake. You even putting menthol drops in your eyesâ¦â
Matiasâs voice choked up with sobs. âJust because you canât speak, you must work harder than others.To get into the same college, you had to put in more effort than everyone else⦠Once others get intocollege, they think itâs easy from there on, but not you; you always work hard. In every subject, youscored full marks⦠You worked hard to get the same internship
opportunities as everyone else, but Iâm such a good-for-nothing!â
While Matias was speaking, Nara frantically waved her hands, trying to say something, but she couldnâtget the words out. She gestured anxiously. âBrother, Iâve never despised you. Iâve never felt tired orbitterâ¦â
O
But Matias held her hand tightly. âI know you donât feel tired or bitter, but I canât hold you back! I havenât
provided you with a better living environment or medical care. Your voice could have been treated backthen, but I was useless and had no money to help you⦠I canât be a burden to you anymore. Donâtworry about it. If Jackson can vent his anger and stop making your life difficult, he can make me doanything!â
Matias looked at Jackson with red-rimmed eyes. âTell me, what do you want me to do?â
Jackson lay on the hospital bed, smiling gleefully at him. âYouâre begging for mercy now? If you hadobeye initially, it wouldnât have come to this! Too bad itâs too late now! Even if you kneel and lick myfeet and drink my urine, I wonât let you off! Unlessâ¦â
Matias asked anxiously, âUnless what?â
Jackson glanced at his own groin. âUnless you destroy your own and become a eunuch like me!Otherwise, Iâll never let you off in this lifetime! I wonât do anything to you. Iâll just torture you slowly,letting you feel the hardships of life!â
He looked gleefully at Nara. I suppose your sister has
Onovelbin
already felt it, right? How does it feel to have nowhere
to intern?â
Nara clenched her fists tightly, glaring at him.
Jackson spoke again. âRight, that online resume submission thing at your college website, I was theone who leaked it⦠Nara, youâre shameless. How dare you apply to the Nora Research Institute? Howcould you be so brazen?â
Nara immediately gestured with her hand. âWhy canât I? I just wanted to try. Thereâs no shame in beingrejected! I just wanted to give myself one more chance!â
Jackson couldnât understand her sign language and scoffed. âWhat are you gesturing for? I canâtunderstand you, and I donât want to hear anything else from you. Iâm telling you, the Nora Research
Institute wonât take you! None of the hospitals in Clance will take you! Just give up! You might as wellsuffer along with your brother and accept my fate⦠Oh, right, you wanted a job, right? Our family isshort of a maid. Are you interested?â
Nara stared at him furiously.
O
Matias said, âDonât make things hard for my sister. Iâll do it!â
Jackson spat and laughed scornfully. âYou? What use would I have for you? Even if you came to myhouse, what could you do? Youâre a waste. I would have
you. She
She may
gotten Keera by now if it werenât for even have my child, and I wouldnât have touched your sister!â
After saying this, Jackson looked at Nara again. âAnd youâ¦people as low as you should spend theirlives in the mud. Iâll make sure you never become a doctor! Iâll make sure all that knowledge youâvelearned goes to waste! Hahaha!â
As Jackson was shouting madly, Keiraâs voice came from the doorway. âWho says she canât become adoctor?!â
