Chapter 423 You Want to Treat Me to Dinner?

After hearing these words, Angie first froze for a moment and then let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Angie being silent, Courtney thought that she had hit the nail on the head, so she advised again, “Elijah is not that kind of person, and Lilian is not so narrow-minded either. Even if she isn’t close to you, you still have me, right? What are you worried about? In any case, aren’t you almost an adult? You cannot rely on Elijah your whole life, right?”

Hearing that, Angie blinked. At once, a flash of pain was evident in her eyes. She was always lively and talkative, but now she never said another word even until they got home.

Feeling strange about it, Courtney glanced at Angie who was unmoving as if asleep, and she sighed helplessly. Then, she adjusted the air-conditioning of the car and slowed the car down too.

Beep! The sound of the combination lock opening was followed by a clear, lark-like cry from inside the house.

“Angie!”

At the doorway, Angie exclaimed when she saw Tina and laughed while pinching her little round face.

“It’s just been a little over a month since I saw you. How have you gained so much weight? Is local food that delicious?”

Tina pouted and playfully punched her. “You’re the one who has gained weight!”

“Now you’re mad.” As she said that, Angie pulled her sling bag from her shoulder. “Look what good things I’ve brought you! This is the limited edition Switch that’s just released this month. Do you want to play with it?”

“Of course!” The two girls chatted happily without any generation gap while Courtney was left alone to the side. After she collected the things thrown messily on the ground, she silently went to the kitchen to cook for the girls.

She had received a phone call from her mentor a month or so ago, saying that she had successfully gotten the exchange housemanship she had applied for at the local hospital, so she simply packed some things and took Tina back to the country. Tina’s asthma was almost fully treated, but she needed to go to a retired traditional doctor’s home every month for acupuncture mainly to prevent future relapses.

Melrose City was more congested than it was five years ago. Despite having been back for a month, Courtney still had a feeling of being in a different world. When she came back here five years ago, everything in her memory was replaced by tall buildings as if she was in a new world. Now that she was back another five years later, the city seemed to not have changed much. After all, when society had developed to a certain limit, the city would be relatively saturated, and any more changes gradually became internal changes, such as human nature rather than external
