Chapter 104
"Haha, we definitely can't afford those clothes you picked out for us!"
"Since I'm the one who brought you guys out shopping, how can I possibly make you spend your own money?"
"No way... You loaded people didn't get your money easily, so we can't let you pay for everything... How about this, to celebrate our dorm's new look and great atmosphere, I'll treat you guys to a meal!" Stephanie said.
"Pfft, Steph, do you even have any money?"
"Yeah, I do! My mom's medical expenses have been resolved, and the money I earned from my part-time job is still in my bank account, so it's now my living expenses! Just say what you wanna eat, I got money!"
"Hahahaha... Alright, I want steak!"
"Then let's all go have steak together!"
The three of them, in great spirits, left the dorm together, attracting quite a few stares along the way.
After leaving the school, the three walked toward a restaurant near the school.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Stephanie's phone suddenly rang - it was her mom calling her.
She must be asking about her situation at school. Stephanie hurriedly answered the phone: "Mom!"
At the other end of the phone, Marilyn's voice sounded upbeat as she laughed and asked, "Steph, how's everything at school? Have you gotten used to it yet?"
As expected, her mom was worried about her school life.
Stephanie smiled and replied, "Mom, I'm doing great! I even made some new friends! Gillian and I went to a friend's house together recently as well."
"Oh, that's wonderful! When I am feeling better, I'll come to school and invite your friends for a meal!"
"Haha, sure, Mom! We're actually about to go eat steak now!"
"Alright, you young folks have fun together... By the way, Steph, the caregiver Seb arranged for me came yesterday. You don't have to worry about me being at home alone." "Okay, Mom."
"Have you been in touch with Seb lately? He's been so kind to us, so you should also be more attentive to him at school!"
"Understood, Mom!"
Sebastian hardly paid any attention to her anymore, but she didn't want to bother him either.
Nevertheless, since he arranged a caregiver for her mom and made sure things at school are taken care of as well, she should express gratitude.
"Alright, have a great time with your friends. I won't bother you guys any further."
Just as Stephanie was about to
hang up, Gillian grabbed her phone and said, "Mrs. Bishop, I'm Gillian. I'm with Steph right now. Don't worry, with me around, she'll
definitely get used to schoolel.net
Everyone in our class really likes her too! You just focus on getting better! Steph cares about you the most!"
Marilyn was very touched, replying, "Alright... Tell Steph not to worry about me. My life has been getting better and better. I want to live
longer and will take good care of
myself. She doesn't have to worry!"
"Understood!"
Gillian was about to hang up when Maddie quickly said, "I'd like to chat with Steph's mom too. Is that okay?"
Gillian laughed, "Auntie, the new friends Steph made are also her dorm mates. We are three living together in the same dorm, and we get along really well. Maddie here wants to talk to you too." With a big smile, Marilyn replied, "Okay, sure."
Maddie took the phone and politely
said, "Hello, Steph's mom... My name is Maddie. I really love being
friends with your daughter.
Stephanie has such a great personality, you must be an

incredibly gentle and kind mom too.
The next time Steph goes home, I'll go with her to visit you!"
"I'll be looking forward to it," Marilyn replied before hanging up, feeling very happy.
