Reign sighed and said. âThey are extorting, but I donât have a choice.
âMy brotherâs illness is too strange. He canât be cured even by famous experts. Only Whileal Kingdomâs technology can give him a chance of survival.
âFor him. I have to compromise.â
As she spoke, her eyes became even more sorrowful, and the worry between her brows increased.
As the Labenz familyâs CEO, she held a lot of power and received countless dividends every year.
However, most of the money was extorted by that hospital.
Once she was kicked out of the CEO position, the money she would get would definitely be pitifully little.
By then, her brotherâs treatment would probably be stopped.
Haylan frowned slightly and said, âHave you ever thought that if you live such a difficult and painful life, sometimes it might be better to let go?
âMaybe your brother doesnât want to live in such pain âYouâre wrong. He wants to live!!!â Reign shook her head with a determined gaze.
âHow do you know that he wants to live!â Haylan was stunned.
Reignâs expression was solemn. âDo you still remember the time I went overseas for business?â
Haylan nodded.
Reign continued. âActually, a business trip was just a cover. I went overseas mainly to find a precious thing that could wake my brother up, the Ghost Shadow Flower!
âA mysterious person told me that such a flower can cure my brotherâs illnesst âHowever, Longhard Kingdom doesnât have such a flower. I can only look for it overseas.
âBefore I set off. I specially flew to Whileal Kingdom to see my brother and ask for his opinion.
âHe canât hear me, but I can feel him listening âI told him to move his eyelids three times if he wanted to live.
âIn the end, he really moved his eyelids three times.
âFrom then on, I understood that although he had been experiencing pain, he had always wanted to live.
âSo, whatever happens, I canât give him up! Because heâs the only one Iâve got in the world.â
At this point, her eyes were even more determined than before.
Haylan got to the point. âDid you just say Ghost Shadow Flower? What is this?â
âI donât know what it is, either That mysterious person told me. Oh, and I still have a picture of it âFurthermore, according to the colors, roots, and textures of the flowers drawn by that person, I especially found an artist to redraw it.â
Reign took out her phone, opened the photo, and handed it to Haylan. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she said, âYouâre knowledgeable. Help me take a look. Do you know this flower?â
Haylan took a look.
There were two pictures on the phone. The one on the left was hand-drawn and looked rough.
The one on the right was a carefully drawn color painting. The flowers were even colored and lifelike.
It was a flower with nine petals and two roots. Its entire body was dark blue, and the patterns were spiral-shaped. It bloomed with a faint light, like a ghost in the night. It was quite strange.
Haylan shook his head and said. âNo.â
When Reign heard this, her eyes were filled with disappointment, and she became even more worried.
She put her phone away and took another sip of cola.
However, no matter how sweet the cola was, it could not nourish her heart.
All these years, she had been looking for a way to save her brother. For this reason, she had specially set up a research and development department to develop various new drugs in hopes of finding a way to save her brother.
She had been worried sick about her brother.
Even though she was living a luxurious life and had a net worth of billions of dollars, she still could not feel happy and always looked depressed.
Now that she heard that Haylan didnât know Ghost Shadow Flower either, she was even more disappointed.
When Haylan saw Reign like this, he immediately understood Landon Katzâs good intentions.
Reign had suffered too much. He could not give her hope and disappoint her again. Otherwise, she would not be able to withstand such pain.
âDonât worry, everything will be fine, Haylan said.
âYeah, everythingâs gonna be okay.â
Reign nodded and repeated Haylanâs words. She seemed to be comforting herself but also seemed to he cheering herself on. At this moment, the waiter brought over their food.
He cut the empanada into slices for them In an instant, the smell of food was everywhere.
On the plates, the tacos were full of stuffings sided with yuriny dippings. The empanada was still hot with blueberry jam running outside.
This is the smell. Itâs so great! It made me think about the old timesâ
Haylan took a deep breath and his eyes lit up.
This tasted exactly the same as eight years ago. There was no change at all.
Well, in other words, it had become better than eight years ago!
Looking at the sliced empanada and smelling the food, Reignâs appetite was whetted. Her depressed and worried mood improved a little.
Soon, the waiter placed the cream cakes on the table.
It was just a few simple dishes, and they looked, smelled, and tasted good.
Haylan said, âMs. Labenz, donât think too much about it. Things work out right themselves sometimes. Letâs eat firstâ With that, he picked up a slice of empanada and placed it on Reignâs plate. âHave a taste. This is deliciousâ
Reign tried it and her eyes lit up. As she ate, she praised. âItâs indeed delicious. Not bad,â
She used to eat the dishes made by high-end restaurants and family chefs. Most of them were steaks or steaks with dipping sauce Now that she had eaten the tacos from a roadside shop, the taste made her feel good and her appetite was whetted.
âEat more. Thereâre still desserts later.â Haylan smiled The two of them chatted as they ate, closing the distance between them.
After eating. Reign sighed. âI didnât expect such an ordinary restaurant to make such delicious food.
Itâs much better than the food made by a three-star Michelin chef.â
âMichelin. Those are just restaurants for the rich to show off. Theyâre very high-class and the taste is not bad, but theyâre not suitable for ordinary people.â
Haylan smiled and said, âOn the contrary, such a roadside shop is the most lively place. Itâs suitable for workers who work hard. Itâs delicious and not expensive. Here you can meet with different kinds of people, all having their own stories.â
âTherefore, you need to have a good taste of this.
BANG!
Just as he was speaking, a loud sound suddenly burst out in the restaurant. A student was punched by someone and flew out He fell on the street with blood spurting from his mouth and nose. He looked especially miserable.
In the restaurant, a few fierce-looking men walked out aggressively. As they walked, they cursed, âFuck! If you donât have money to pay me back, why the fuck did you borrow money from me?
âYou didnât pay me back and still dare to come out to eat? Youâre dead!
âLet me tell you, if you donât pay me back today. Iâll kill you!â
