Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 180: Ruined His Hands

Emily was taken aback, but she didn't expect that Terry would care about the affairs of the Jackson family.

Especially, it was Matriarch who had nothing to do with him.

"Grandma inhaled some heavy smoke. She became weaker, but the situation is stable."

She looked at Terry and saw him secretly breathe a sigh of relief. She still felt puzzled, "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly care about the affairs of the Jackson family?"

"Nothing."

Terry couldn't tell lies and make excuses, so when he didn't know how to explain, he didn't explain.

"I'll finish installing these seats. You go ahead with your work.”

Sally had hired some people and they would come to work directly next month, but many things in the office had not been done.

Terry was really busy.

But Emily always felt that Terry was a bit weird.

She didn't know why he was weird.

Seeing that he was really busy, Emily was not good to bother.

She could only go back to the chair and continued her scripts.

Because the office was close to the school, except for Joe and Terry who had no class in the morning, Emily, Lois, Sally, and Rufus had to rush to school at 9:30.

But they didn't expect that Aryan would also wake up, insisting to follow them to class.

Aryan seemed a bit withdrawn and didn't like dealing with strangers, but he was very persistent in his studies and work.

The school bell rang. The five friends packed up their schoolbags and left the classroom to walk to the school gate.

Lois and Sally were discussing what they would eat.

"Let's eat braised pork today. I haven't eaten it for a long time.”

Both of them had been losing weight recently. Now they almost couldn't help drooling when they think of the aroma of braised pork.

"Rufus, okay?” Sally blinked at him.

"Of course it's good." Rufus, a foodie, liked delicious food.

"Emily?"

"Aryan just gets a little better. Eat something light." Emily rolled her eyes at them.

Sally and Lois immediately surrounded Aryan, pitifully, "Can we get you a bowl of white porridge? You pretend not to see us eating meat, okay?"

Aryan wanted to laugh. He had never lived in a group life and had always been alone.

Unexpectedly, he felt team life seemed to be so interesting.

Originally, he liked quietness the most. After adapting to Lois and Sally's nagging, he thought they were both fun.

"Okay." He didn't any preference for the food.

"No, today’s lunch must be light. Everyone is the same." Emily declared.

"Emily......"

"I said no."

They were chatting happily, but before they left the campus, they were suddenly stopped by several persons on the green trail in front of the teaching building.

"You are the members of September Drawing Club? Design 1801?"

The lead boy, who seemed to be a junior, stared at Lois who was walking in the front, and snorted coldly.

Lois was so frightened that she took two steps back subconsciously. These people were so strong and tall which made others fear at first glance.

"What's the matter?" Emily walked in front of Lois.

Rufus and Aryan immediately stood beside her.

Although they seemed to be aggressive and to be very provocative, they couldn't let a girl stand in front of them alone!

Lois quietly tugged the corner of Emily's clothes. These people looked like not kind!

"I heard that your club has a Genius Painter. He can draw several episodes a day.’

Several boys stared at Emily's hand with sharp eyes, “Is that you?"

"It's me." Aryan pulled Emily behind him.

"Oh, you are very capable! Several episodes for a day? Are you kidding me? You must ask others for help."

"What does it have to do with you?" Aryan said coldly.

"Nothing. I just want to come and see what kind of hands the Genius Painter has."

Several boys stared at Aryan's hand. Their eyes clearly showed malicious.

"Oh, why did your arm hurt? Was it because of the accident of last night? What a pity, it just hurt your arm."

The man smiled very viciously, but his eyes never left Aryan's hand.

Another tall boy also laughed and said, "Yes, why didn't it hurt your fingers? If your fingers are cut off, will Genius Painter become ridiculous?"

"What do you want to do?" Emily stepped forward again and pulled Aryan back.

Aryan's hand must not be injured now.

Other people's work may be substitutable. Even if her hand was injured, she could dictate and let someone write scripts.

But if Aryan was injured, their entire team would completely lose.

These people even knew Aryan got hurt in the early morning. Could it be that the accident had some inside story?

"Little girl, we didn't talk to you. Why did you jump out?"

The lead man's face sank. He hated ugly girls.

He stepped forward to push Emily.

Aryan immediately push his hand away, "Don't touch girls!"

"So I can touch you, right?"

The tall boy was suddenly fierce. Several boys approached them instantly.

Emily held Aryan’s hands, not letting him act on impulse.

She calmly said, "This is the school. If you think you can fight here, just give it a try."

Rufus had already taken out the phone and adjusted the shooting angle.

He said coldly, "Try it out. On the school's forum today, this live broadcast will be the hottest."

Several boys looked at each other, and finally backed away.

The lead boy still stared at Aryan’s hand.

After being angry for half a second, he suddenly sneered, "Humph, this is the school. We won't hit you, but you can't stay in the school all the time, right?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"You have to take good care of your hands. If your fingers are accidentally chopped off by others, it will really become terrible club, ha-ha-ha.”

"The bad hands of Genius Painter, ha-ha...”

Several people sneakered and walked away.

Aryan's face fell. He wanted to rush over and fight them fiercely, but Emily dragged him hard, not allowing him to be impulsive.

Emily was a little worried now. Her eyes fell subconsciously on Aryan’s hands.

"Emily, do you think they really want to cut Aryan’s hands?" Sally walked up to her, also looking at Aryan's hand.

Emily looked back at Lois, “Is the result of today's rematch already out?"

"It should be in the afternoon, but someone has already known the result in the morning."

It seemed that the other party was more informed than Lois.

Maybe they had already known the result of the rematch last night.

If they had connections, they would know the news faster than others

"They seem to be students to Design 1601." Rufus pushed his glasses and stared at the back of those people leaving.

Emily frowned, "Design 1601?"

"I see. The cartoon club in their class is very powerful, and the leader is..."

Lois searched for relevant information in her mind, and then she patted her forehead.

"The beauty of our Design Department, Flora Hans, the fourth daughter of Golden Summit Group."

Lois knew so much.

She looked at Emily with some anxiety, "Flora has an average status in the Hans family, but her half- sister seems to like her very much."

"As for her sister, I heard that she is the best friend of Tabby who was daughter the Jackson family. The two have a very good relationship."

The relationship was really complicated.

These boys were probably just to help Flora. These people were not in the school.

In the school, they were safe, but it was hard to keep safety after going out.

Before Emily could say anything, her phone vibrated.

It was from a stranger call. Emily hesitated before picking it up slowly, "Hello?"

On the phone, a voice that seemed to be familiar came indifferently, "Treat me a meal. I will tell you what happened in the early morning."
