Chapter 15 Mercenary King Invincible

• “What happened to her?” Haylan asked. “Well, she just hasn’t been doing too well. Don’t ask questions. You’ll understand when you see her over the weekend, Felicia said with a shake of her head. Tears glistened in her eyes again. Haylan frowned slightly. Since his mother refused to tell him anything else, it was obvious that she was afraid he would be too worried or get agitated and do something excessive. It was clear that his sister was in bad shape. At that moment, Haylan’s rage was directed toward Declan Jackett. Every time he asked Declan to deliver money to his family, he would also give Declan a generous reward. However. Declan grew greedy and pocketed all of the money. He also did not do anything that Havian had asked of him. Declan’s greed caused so many problems for Haylan’s family. At the thought. Haylan wished he could slap himself. He thought. “Why was I so naive in the past? Why did I trust someone like Declan?” Still holding the lunch box. Haylan said in a deep voice, “Mom, everything will be fine.
• ” “Yeah, as long as we still have each other, everything will be fine.” Felicia smiled and wiped the tears. from her eyes. Haylan nodded. “Mom, I’ll go deliver the lunch box now.” Felicia was right. As long as they still had each other, everything would be fine. Haylan would get his money back from Declan in two days, and life would improve. Before Haylan left the house, he opened the lunch box and looked inside. However, he discovered that there were only a few pieces of meat. He went back to the kitchen and asked with a frown, “Mom, why is there so little meat?” There was still so much meat when Haylan and his father were eating earlier. Felicia looked a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, “I already divided the rest of the meat. equally. Don’t forget that besides your little sister, you still have two younger brothers who also need. to eat.” “Then why did you give me so much meat?” Haylan asked. “You just came back. It’s our duty to feed you well no inatter how poor we are,” Felicia said. “Mom, are we really so short of money? Haylan was startled. “We’re all right. You don’t have to worry.
• I’ll get paid in two days, then I’ll buy you whatever you want to eat, Felicia smiled.. In fact, the past two days’ worth of food that the couple had bought for Haylan already exceeded the cost of the family’s food for one week. However, Felicia was afraid that Haylan would feel guilty because of this, so she did not want to tell him the truth. Haylan gazed at Felicia and remained silent. He felt extremely uncomfortable as if a boulder was pressing on his chest. Although Felicia had said those words with a smile, he could see the embarrassment and sadness beneath her façade. It was obvious that their family was short of money. Haylan did not truly understand the extent of his family’s poverty until now. It turned out that they had spent a lot of money on his meals over the past two days. For a moment, Haylan felt a mixture of guilt, discomfort, and anger toward Declan. In Lightdom City, a school was located about two miles away from Haylan’s house. It was where Haylan’s younger sister, Queenie, went. She was in her third year of high school. Due to the intense school curriculum, Queenie had chosen to stay on campus to spend her time more effectively. Since she also did not want to waste time queueing for meals in the canteen, Felicia. delivered food to her daily.
