Hugo quickly ca back to the dining table knowing that Hailey will act slower if she was left eating alone.
"You will be late. Let's go now." His brows furrowed when he saw how Haile was taking her ti on drinking the chocolate milk that he had prepared for her.
"Yes, brother." Hailey stood up and wiped the sides of her mouth. She took her lunch bag that was prepared by her mother before glancing at Hugo.
"I will take your bag. Don't worry," Hugo chuckled when he saw how Hailey glanced at the bag after looking at him.
Hailey smiled widely. She was humming a tone as both of them leave the house to ride a cab.
Hugo told the driver the address of Hailey's school. He was staring at her the whole ride that Hailey had gotten sohow unconscious.
"Is there anything wrong with , brother?" Hailey worriedly asked as she looked at her reflection in the cab's window.
"Nothing," Hugo shook his head. "You should rember to always eat your food on ti, alright? And don't be a headache to our parents. " the corner of his lips rose up.
He was grinning from ear to ear as if teasing his sister, but the truth was, he was sad that this will be the last ti that he would spend ti with her.
"You sound weird, brother," Hailey pouted her lips. She looked at Hugo and smiled. "But how can you say that to ? I am very well-behaved, right Sir?" She glanced over to the driver that has been watching them since earlier with a smile on his face.
"Yes, little girl." The driver couldn't help to answer as Hailey pouted.
Hugo laughed as well. "You silly."
"But I promise, brother! I will behave in front of mother and father!" She exclaid with confidence radiating in her voice."
"Alright, Alright, I believe you." Hugo kept on laughing until they arrived at Hailey's school.
Hugo paid for the cab, giving the driver an extra tip since he was very friendly throughout the ride. The driver would constantly communicate with Hailey as she kept on talking.
Hailey's mood had been very pleasant since earlier. It must be because of all the good food that she had eaten. She was still full that she thinks she would only eat a little from her lunchbox.
"Brother," Hailey raised her head up as she looked at Hugo's face. Since they have quite a big height difference, Hugo looked as if he was a giant!
"Here is your bag," Hugo ducked down as he help Hailey on placing her bag on her back.
Hugo took out his wallet. He took the 3000 dollars that he saved for her.
"Hailey," Calling out her na, Hailey was curious about why her na was suddenly called. She was expecting Hugo would just say goodbye to her, but she was surprised when she saw the money in his hands.
"What is that, brother?" Her eyes widened as she pointed out the nurous hundred-dollar bills on Hugo's hands.
"You should take this." Hugo smiled. His one knelt on the ground as his free hands went to Hailey's hair, caressing them lightly.
"But why?" Hailey pouted. "I can't take that from you, brother!" She said, although she really wanted to get the money. Just imagining all the food and dolls she could get with the money already makes her excited.
Hugo smiled as he read what was running through Hailey's mind. 'She really is adorable,' he thought as he lightly laugh.
"I will be away for a few days or weeks…" Hugo paused for a while, trying to asure out his sister's reaction.
"But why?" Hailey asked. She looked at Hugo as if he said sothing funny.
Hugo reassuringly smiled at his sister. "You know the university that I am currently admitted to right?"
"Yes,"
"I will be staying there for the anti until the school ends. So, I won't be able to buy you dolls anymore." Hugo placed the money unto Hailey's palms.
"What are you going to do their brother?" Hailey asked innocently.
"I will just be doing so school works. You know that your brother has been away from school for a few weeks to rest, right? That's why I wanted to stay there for a while and do all the things that I needed to do." He smiled. He helped Hailey to hide the money in her bag.
"I want you to use this money if you wanted to buy sothing. Don't bother mother and father with all the things that you want." He reminded her about how she should use the money.
Hailey nodded as she pouted. She didn't even feel sad thinking that Hugo will just be away for a week or two. She knew how busy her brother was when it cos to school.
And she was proud of her achievents! Having a brother like Hugo was the best thing she had in her life.
"Go inside now. You might be late." Hugo hugged Hailey tightly for the last ti. He was trying to fight off the tears from running down in his eyes.
It was a tough battle, but gladly, in the end, he won.
"You are squishing , brother!" Hailey glared at Hugo before she kissed his cheeks.
"Goodbye, brother. Don't forget to get so lollipops once you co back." She smiled widely as she waved her hands toward his brother.
Hugo nodded as he silently watches his sister enter her school. There were a lot of students going in as well since just a few minutes and the class will already start.
'I hope you forgive for my lie,' he sadly smiled.
When Hailey disappeared into Hugo's sight, he stepped out to go to a secluded space. He teleported right back to their house and gathered all the things that he will bring with him. Hugo couldn't help it.
He went back to his parent's room and took a small stuffed toy that Hailey usually plays with. It was a small lion that just fit his palms.
"I need to go now," he took a deep sigh.
