Chapter 10
After Brent had breakfast, the nurse came in to give him an injection and told Lira, “Press the call button if you run out of water.”
Lira: “…”
She didn’t plan to stay with her, so she took note of the nurse’s words first, and then messaged Erics on WhatsApp.
Lira: “How long until you arrive?”

Erica: “My uncle went crazy, he wouldn’t let me and my aunt go see Brent, told him to fend for himself, now I can’t even leave the front door.” Lira could see the whip marks on Brent’s back, she understood Kenneth Franco’s anger. Brent was the most outstanding in the Franco family. I her past life, when she died, Brent was already a major general. There were rumors that he was being groomed to be a commander With such a future ahead, Brent said he would retire and he actually did it. Kenneth spared his life, which was considered a mercy.
She was also curious about why Brent left the army, but she didn’t dare to ask. Even if she asked, Brent wouldn’t answer her, how awkward.
Lira typed, “He was getting an IV drip. Since you can’t come, should I find someone to take care of him?”
Erica: “Don’t do it, he hates it when strangers get too close.”
Lira: “So what do we do?”
Erica: “Lira, are you free today? Can you take care of him for a while? He’s badly injured, can only sleep on his stomach. My uncle even forbids the maid to go, and threatens that if he doesn’t leave the army, he won’t be allowed back to the Franco’s villa. He’s really pitiful now, please, please, please.”
Lira glanced at the man lying on the bed. He had a wound on his back, so he was lying face down with his back facing up. She could only see the
back of his head
I felt like a big wounded dog that no one cared about.
Lira thought to herself and replied with just one word, “Okay”
Erica: “Lira is the best, giving you a hundred kisses.”
After sending a hug emoji, Lira turned off her phone and looked up at the IV drip
There’s more
She opened her phone again, feeling relieved, and started looking for
house
Last night the bank sent her a message, saying Blake had cancelled her card.
Lira didn’t care. She still had money in her card. Even if she spent like before, it would be enough for her to spend for a month. Blake also calculated that she could only hold on for a month at most, so he didn’t take the estrangement letter seriously, waiting for her to spend all her money and go back obediently.
But he didn’t know, his daughter was no longer the same as before.
Money, of course, didn’t spend as recklessly as before.
Lira roughly calculated that she spent twenty thousand a month, which would be enough for her for over two years. If she saved more, it could last even longer. Plus, she would also find a job to earn money, so supporting herself would not be a problem at all.
After looking at the house for a while, then checking the IV drip, after doing this repeatedly a dozen times, oge bottle of water was almost empty. Lira pressed the bell, maybe the nurse was too busy to hear, no one came to change the water. She turned off the IV drip first, then went
our to find someone.
She left, and only then did Brent turn his head back, his gaze falling on her phone. The screen was still on, and he looked at the webpage on it, his eyes darkening.
In Xander going bankrupt or something? He left her with nowhere to live and now she has to rent a place.
Lira called the nurse to come in and change his water, but he didn’t move a muscle, as if he didn’t notice, like he was asleep.

Afraid of disturbing him, Lira put her phone on silent.
et out of bed.
Half a morning passed, three bottles of IV drips finished, Brent “woke up and wanted to get out
Lira asked busily, “What do you want? Can I help you?”
Brent joked with a smirk, “Can you help me go to the bathroom?”
Lira blushed and took two steps back awkwardly.
She didn’t see that Brent went into the bathroom with his phone because she was looking down.
Brent stayed inside for a while before coming out. He walked slowly because of the injury on his back. Knowing his temper, Lira didn’t dare to help him.
When he slowly moved back to bed, Lira asked him, “Brent, should I call Octavio to come pick you up?”
Brent: Hmm“.
Lira went to the window to call Octavio.
