Chapter 16

“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.
