Chapter 2222

The next morning, Lindsay reheated the leftovers she'd packed up the night before and helped her little brother into a fresh set of clothes.

Honestly, her brother was a good-looking kid.

She reached out, ruffling his hair. After all these years, after everything they'd been through, they were both just victims of circumstance.

She had no reason to hate him.

"I'm leaving now. You take good care of the kids, alright?"

"Linds..."

He trailed after her, step for step, just like all those times she'd headed off to work before him trailing behind, wide-eyed and anxious.

With a steely resolve, Lindsay closed the door behind her, scooped up her bag, and turned to Athena.

"Let's go."

Athena glanced at the closed door and drew a deep breath.

"Lindsay, you'll be staying in Greenfield for at least two months. Are you sure there's nothing else you want to say to your family?"

A faint, bitter smile tugged at Lindsay's lips. "Did you see the look on his face? What's the point in explaining? But don't worry. The oldest kid already knows how to cook. If my brother lets me down, the kids can fend for themselves. Otherwise, we wouldn't have made it this far."
