Chapter 1432: Chapter 1404 When Will You Repay the Debt You Owe
“Kiara, you know death is like a lamp going out—”
“Why are you bringing THAT up?”
Just as expected, the mont Kiara heard the word ‘death,’ she beca unhappy, her face instantly darkening.
“It’s sothing we can’t avoid. When people turn to ashes, all they leave behind is their spirit. Dad’s sick now and doesn’t have any other wishes, just wants to see you grow up strong.”
Kiara’s teeth ached from the sappiness, “Where did you learn these lines, from so lodramatic soap opera?”
Cough cough, caught out, Yuzo Joel felt a little guilty.
“Where they co from isn’t important, what’s important is that you understand the spirit behind them.”
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“What good will staying by my side do? Life and death are predestined, you’d be better off helping Dad fulfill his uncompleted wishes. Maybe if I’m happy, my illness will be easier to control.”
The logic was sound, but Kiara simply didn’t want to leave.
“Don’t you want Dad to be happy? Never mind, I won’t force you.” Mr. Joel used reverse psychology, grimacing as he continued to slurp down the dicated diet she brought over.
Seeing him like this made Kiara feel even worse.
She knew Yuzo Joel hated drinking those concoctions, but he was enduring it for her sake. After all, wasn’t it just because he cared about her feelings?
His tactic wasn’t sophisticated; bluntly put, he had taken the moves Kiara used on him and, without any modification, reused them on her.
But familial love is exactly the kind of thing that doesn’t need any tricks because what ultimately makes smart people like Kiara or Yuzo Joel compromise is emotion.
“Just 5 days, right…?” Kiara started to relent.
“Yes, only 5 days. You can co back when the ti’s up.”
“I want to see your latest dical report.”
That’s the way to go~
Yuzo Joel’s eyes lit up, and he imdiately pulled it out from under the sofa and handed it to her. Kiara glared at him, realizing he had been planning this all along!
The dical report was pretty stable; as long as his condition was kept under control, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. Currently, the indicators were all stable.
“I can’t guarantee a win, and if I lose, don’t bla .”
Yuzo Joel’s eyebrows danced with joy.
“Just do your best!”
“While I’m not at ho, you better take your dication on ti, keep a regular diet and routine. Don’t think you can go out and have fun just because I’m not here. I will tell Camden to keep an eye on you. If you’re feeling unwell, contact imdiately. You know the consequences of lying to …”
Yuzo Joel nodded again and again, “Yes, yes, yes, I’ll listen to you~”
While Kiara was looking down at the docunts, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Heh heh, Camden didn’t have ti to watch over him because…
When Mr. Joel makes plans, he’s always working on multiple fronts, ensuring both hands are full!
Kiara stayed until night, discussing howork until Young Aunt brought Wendy over so that Yuzo Joel could play with Wendy while she focused on her howork. Mario Yuno was working overti, and Edward Farmbright had things to do and didn’t co back, so eventually, they couldn’t avoid ordering takeout.
The takeout was brought in by Norris Flowery Fox; Wendy was happy to see him, clapping her hands excitedly at him.
“Is the hypnotist market really that bad?” Kiara pointed at the takeout he was holding, laughing that he might need to change jobs.
Since the last ti Mario Yuno set his dog on him, Kiara hadn’t seen him for days, and he hadn’t gone to the laboratory either.
“Just happened to co across it on my way back and brought it over—let give her a hug.”
Norris Flowery Fox picked up Wendy and frowned.
“Gained weight…”
“Slap!” Wendy’s little palm slapped his face, and he cooed with a squinting smile.
“Wendy really likes the Fox Cat, huh?” Yuzo Joel could tell – his granddaughter treated the Fox Cat and Edward Farmbright on completely different levels.
“Maybe they hit it off in a past life,” Kiara said, smiling uncontrollably as she rembered the last ti Norris Flowery Fox got chased by the ‘Beautiful Lady’ and had to climb on top of a bus.
Norris felt his back bristle from her laughter, so he turned his back to her, pretending to focus on playing with the baby.
Noticing the car keys in his hand, Yuzo Joel asked, “Got a new car?”
“Mm, struck a bit of a windfall recently and just switched cars on a whim.”
After a glance at the car keys, Kiara comnted, “That’s pretty luxurious of you.”
“Thanks to your blessing.”
His response was a bit baffling to Kiara, not understanding why he would credit her for his good fortune in changing cars.
But Yuzo Joel revealed an understanding smile.
“Our Kiara is indeed a child who brings blessings; I’ve won quite a bit myself…”
“What are you two talking about?” Kiara was completely lost.
“Nothing, just eat, let’s eat!”
…
After dinner, Mario Yuno called to say sothing ca up at his workplace and he had to work overti all night, so he couldn’t make it over.
Considering she had to visit the laboratory the next morning, Kiara figured she might as well stay the night instead of going back and forth; Yuzo Joel’s villa had plenty of spare rooms, and there was one prepared for her and the child. This way, she could go to the laboratory with Yuzo Joel the next day.
Of course, Yuzo Joel was delighted. After chatting with his daughter until 9 o’clock, they went their separate ways when Wendy started to yawn.
After bathing her daughter and putting her to bed, Kiara did so editing on her thesis on her computer, and when she saw it was midnight and felt a bit thirsty, she went downstairs to the kitchen for a snack and happened to et Norris hunting for so midnight snacks.
He was staying at Yuzo Joel’s ho while on the mainland, and it was Kiara’s first ti seeing him in pajamas, looking slightly bleary-eyed.
“Want so mousse?” Norris took out the cake, and Kiara saw it was the brand she had recomnded.
“You’re really devoted, always going back and forth between just a few places,” Kiara said unceremoniously as she sat down. “Please get so warm milk, thanks.”
“…I’m supposed to be your creditor, but sohow, you act like you’re the one holding my debt,” Norris said. Yet, he still quickly ward up so milk for Kiara using the microwave oven.
“Thanks~”
“You’re welco. I just don’t want to put out a fire in the middle of the night – your and my uncle’s talent for burning down the kitchen is truly astonishing.”
They both had more than enough mousse cake to eat. Seeing Norris typing sothing on his laptop drew Kiara’s curiosity, and she leaned in to take a look.
“What’s this?”
“Oh, it’s a survey on spiritual twins. Want to give it a try?”
Norris turned the laptop towards Kiara, and she casually looked over it while holding her cup, finding the questions she’d never seen before quite interesting.
“I’ll give it a shot.”
Her fingers danced across the keyboard and she completed the set of questions in no ti.
“Let see yours,” she said to Norris.
Norris shared his answers with Kiara, “It’s different from yours.”
“Yeah, next ti I see Zoel, I’ll have him answer it too. We’re spiritual twins, so it should be quite similar.”
“No, it won’t be the sa,” said Norris with a faint smile on his lips.
Because this wasn’t really a survey on spiritual twins, so how could it possibly be the sa.
“What did you say?”
“I ant, when are you going to pay back the debt you owe ?”
