Chapter 1689

"Mum, look, it's Dad!"

In the winter day, a little boy pointed towards a brightly lit car from which a man with a kind face alighted.

The man walked up to the woman standing beside the little boy and said with a smile, "I've come to pick you guys up."

Witnessing this scene, Odie suddenly woke up with a start.

"What's wrong? Is Timmy running a fever?"

Beside him, a woman dressed in elegant attire gently patted Odie's shoulder and said, "Silly child, remember to greet your classmates when you get to your new school. This isn't abroad. On your first day of transferring, make sure to get along with your new friends and don't cause any trouble."

Odie snapped back to reality and realized he was sitting in a luxury car, with the streets of Devonport visible through the window.

"Mum?"

Odie was stunned.

Seeing Odie's reaction, his mother was startled: "What's gotten into you today? I told you, Eastwood College is a top-notch institution. Once you're there..."
