Chapter 200
Neil looked at Loid without saying anything. He sat next to them quietly.
After a while, the Lauriers came out of Arthurâs bedroom. They returned to their homes when they saw that Arthur was fine.
They only greeted Loid as they were leaving. No one talked to Lily.
Loid only brought Lily to Arthurâs bedroom after all of them were gone.
Neil went to buy the herbs for the herbal medicine for Arthur based on Lilyâs prescription.
Arthur sat up in bed when Loid and Lily entered the room. He waved toward Lily with a kind smile. âCome here, young lady.â
Lily frowned and paused for a moment before walking to Arthurâs bedside.
He held her hand and patted it gently. âIâm sorry you must experience all that on your first day here.â

His number was saved on the phone with her friends and classmates.
He even noticed that Poppyâs and Bobbyâs numbers were saved in the phone with the important contacts.
