My Destined Lover

“What are you talking about, I’m not even close to her?!” Mrs. Boote pulled her hair and screamed, thinking that either she was crazy or the world was crazy.

However, the girl only came to deliver the message to Lucy, she did not care about Mrs. Boote’s reaction. She said “bye” and closed the door.

Mrs. Boote gradually calm down along with office quieted down.

“No.” The more she thought about it, the worse she felt “If Laura really replaces me in the future, wouldn’t I lose my job?”

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, knowing that was not easy to be a teacher at Manhattan Bridges High School. Even one blemish on the record can result in immediate dismissal, let alone “absence”!

“Calm down! Calm down! I didn’t do anything wrong?”

Mrs. Boote calmed down and called the headmaster.

“Mrs. Boote?”

“Yes, it’s me. I have something to tell you. The students of Class 8 are boycotting me…”

“Mrs. Boote, you don’t have to say anything.” The headmaster interrupted her, “I have something to say, too.”

Mrs. Boote gulped nervously, “What is it? ”

“Just before you called, the students in Class 8 told me everything.”

The headmaster was serious, “You’ve been absent ten times, right?

“No, headmaster, listen to me first!” Mrs. Boote panicked, “It’s them…”

“Don’t quibble with me! It’s fact that you absent 10 times!” The headmaster’s voice contained disappointment, “Although your past performance has been very good, this time you are wrong. From now on, you are disqualified from giving lessons to Class 8. That’s it.”

An indifferent beep came over the receiver.

“No, don’t…” Mrs. Boote looked lost in thought, and the phone slid to the floor.

New York.

Marcus got out of the car and hurried to the second floor of the hospital.

On the way, he called urgently, “Why did grandpa suddenly have a heart attack? Was he irritated by something?”

“I, I don’t know.” The housekeeper was at a loss.

Marcus took a deep breath and stroked his furrowed brow, “I know. I’ll go check on Grandpa now.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The hallway light was cold. The door of the operating room was lit up in red, and the word “emergency” on it was particularly glaring.

The hallway was crowded with people who were sitting quietly on the benches waiting for the doctor, but when they saw Marcus, they stood up.

“Why are you so late? Do you know how long has it been since grandpa had an accident?”

“This is how you take care of grandpa, who loves you the most among all his grandchildren?”

“I don’t know how your grandfather thinks so highly of you, really…”

A bunch of taunts and complaints swept in, Marcus did not change his expression, “If you are really worried about grandpa, don’t make noise here.”

The crowd unanimously shut their mouths tightly with different expressions.
