The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System-Chapter 77 - He might as well drop Dead

…

=========

Donald family’s return to the country at least brought some amount of confidence to Maureen, at least she could face the parent-teacher meetings in future.

No longer would there be gossips questioning her if she was just the adopted daughter of the Smith family, asking why the handsome elder brother of the Smith family always picked up only Bianca from school and not her.

From then on, Aunt Donald would come to pick her up.

Who knows how grateful Maureen was for the return of the Donald family in this lifetime.

Because dinner delayed her a bit, Maureen made herself do several more test papers after returning to the school at night, only hitting the bed at twelve o’clock.

The next day early in the morning, Maureen was still the first to rise from the whole dormitory building.

Upon entering the classroom, she saw that Drake had already returned to school.

He sat on the other side of the room, surrounded by a few girls.

When he saw Maureen come in, he raised his peach blossom eyes and gave her a look.

Maureen raised her hand in greetings and headed for her seat.

If Liam does not like her taking advantage of Drake’s fortune, she would stop doing so, after all, the two percent didn’t make much difference to her.

But afterward, Maureen felt something was off, Liam didn’t show up.

Niel was casually lying on the table reading magazines.

Seeing her arrive, his expression was mysteriously weird.

He quickly greeted her and then continued reading his magazine.

But the weirdness wasn’t there, it was on Liam’s table – how come everything was gone?

His noise-cancelling headphones were gone, so was the disorderly thrown jacket.

The pillow- his favourite this month, one she bought for him, was also gone.

She was aware that Liam often skipped class in the past, with a “three days of fishing, two days of drying the nets” routine.

However, for the past month, he had been diligent in attending school every day.

Hence, seeing his belongings gone, Maureen was somewhat taken aback.

“Where’s Liam?”

Maureen couldn’t help but ask, “It’s not the weekend, why are his things missing?” Niel said?

“He took a leave for two days; probably will return the day after tomorrow, don’t worry.”

“Why did he suddenly leave?”

Maureen recalled the sudden thunderstorm and cold snap last night and couldn’t help being anxious.

“Is he sick?” Niel looked at Maureen, his emotions were rather complex, and vaguely said, “He got a bit drenched in the rain while returning home after school yesterday.”

“Did he catch a fever?

Is it serious?” asked Maureen.

“No, it’s just a minor cold,” replied Niel.

Maureen could only sit down.

Liam didn’t show up the whole day.

In preparing for the interscholastic competition, Maureen had been doing problems until she saw stars, thus she didn’t put much thought into it.

But each time she raised her head during a break, and saw the empty seat beside her, she would feel a bit unnerved.

For the first time, Liam had not attended school without letting her know.

With his voice absent, everything seemed substantially quieter.

Finally, near the end of school, unable to hold back, she sent him a text message.

“Liam, Niel said you caught a cold.”

“Do you have a fever?

You should have a private doctor at home, right?

Have you seen them?”

“What’s your body temperature?”

“Do you need anything?

I can bring it over for you.”

Maureen clutched her phone, her mind unsettled.

Seeing that Liam didn’t reply, she couldn’t help but send another message: “Did you fall asleep because you’re feeling so bad?

Reply me when you see this qaq.”

After sending it, there was still no reply from the other side.

Without realizing it, Maureen started flipping through her previous chat records with Liam.

In the past, in an attempt to ride his luck, she would only send him three messages a day, almost all of which were just three periods.

This was the first time she sent Liam five messages with substantial content.

Maureen was worried.

Mainly because after the incident of Liam being afraid of dogs happened, she often found glass burst scratches on him.

Although he said it was from a blowout of a glass bowl when cooking noodles, Maureen always felt that something was off.

As soon as school ended, she started packing her backpack, planning on visiting Liam’s house.

She turned to Niel and asked, “You know Liam’s home address, right?

Can you give it to me?”

Niel was taken aback,

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want it before?!”

Maureen said,

“I’m afraid he might get more sick if he stays alone, didn’t you say he lives alone most of the time and there’s no adult in his house?”

Maureen had gotten the address from Niel.

Carrying her backpack, she bought fever relief medicine and patches and, holding her umbrella, hurried towards Liam’s address.

On the other side, after she left, Niel quickly sent a message to Liam: “Liam, it’s over.

I couldn’t resist the temptation.

I told Maureen your address.

It’s your own apartment address, not the one for your mom’s villa.”

After suffering a breakup, the desolate Liam, curled up in his bed, was still staring at the WhatsApp message from Maureen.

His feelings were complicated and sorrowful, his mind already playing out a hundred-episode TV drama plot about life and death.

Seeing the pop-up message from Niel, he exited the chat to read it and immediately sat up.

What the hell?

Little Mask is coming over?

But he hasn’t washed his hair yet!

Liam was despondent.

Why was she still caring for him when she had clearly said she didn’t like him?

He might as well drop dead!
