Chapter 321 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

“Don’t forget about me!” Myrna said, hugging Mirabella. “Whatever Chasel can do, I can do too.”

“Absolutely, she’s pretty damn good too.” Chasel chuckled, his eyes full of fondness for Myrna.

“Of course I am.” Myrna boasted.

Meanwhile, Serena was waiting outside, freezing her ass off from the AC and hugging her arms for warmth. Her stomach was grumbling too.

The private room was soundproof, so Serena couldn’t hear anything inside.

For the next few days, Chasel and Myrna took Mirabella around to see the sights, while Serena trailed behind them, keeping her distance.

During meals, Serena would order extra dishes for them.

Mirabella was surprised when she saw the extra food. ‘We didn’t order these.”

“The lady over there ordered them for you. She said you like these.”

Serena remembered that Mirabella liked seafood.

Mirabella glanced at Serena, who was eating her meal, and didn’t dare to look their way.

After meals, Serena would pay their bill. If they were tired from their day, she’d buy them things like fans, water, and tissues and have someone deliver them.

For the next two days, with Romeo in tow, the four of them visited many places. Serena still followed behind, but she didn’t dare look at Romeo anymore, as if she didn’t want to cross that line again.

Two days later, Chasel and Myrna went back to work, and Mirabella officially started her college life.

She spent her days in the lab with Grandpa Beck, and her classmates had no clue. They thought she was too proud to attend classes because she aced the exam.

Mirabella didn’t care about the rumors, but Serena’s daily visits to Westerly College were beginning to bug her.

Serena always claimed that she was visiting her sister, which made everyone curious about their relationship and why Serena called Mirabella her sister.

One day, Mirabella just finished her lab work and saw Serena waiting for her under a tree, waving at her.

“Sis, I’m over here.”

Mirabella didn’t expect Serena to come again.

Serena ran over with fresh milk and bread and said, “I came right after class. I bought these on the way. And I got you this book.”

She pulled out a book from her bag titled The Encyclopedia of Miscellaneous Diseases. It was a translated version that was said to be very rare, with fewer than ten copies worldwide.

“I heard that every medical student wants this book. I’ve got you an original copy.” Serena said it genuinely, handing the book to Mirabella.

Mirabella glanced at the book and gently said, “No need; I already have it.”

The book was translated by Mirabella herself. Besides, she was way past the beginner stage the book was intended for.

However, Serena didn’t know this and thought that Mirabella was rejecting her good intentions.

“Sis, I really want to bury the hatchet. I worked my ass off to get this book for you. Can you accept it? If you don’t, I won’t leave today.”

Mirabella was speechless.

Also, this bread and milk are for you. I got them myself; don’t worry, they’re not poisoned”

Serena said this and then bowed her head, seeming a bit embarrassed. Mirabella’s suspicion towards her seemed understandable.

1 already have this book, you can take it back.”

Mirabella knew that the book was a rare find. On one hand, it was because the original author was a top–tier foreign genius doctor, so the content in the book was in a foreign language and full of professional terms, making it quite hard to understand.

On the other hand, thanks to Mirabella’s translation, it became the book with the highest translation accuracy in the country. She had only allowed the publisher to publish ten copies, each with her autograph

Mirabella was at her wits‘ end with Serena’s pestering. Just then, Kelly and Joyce came out of the library and saw them.

“What are you up to again?” Kelly immediately pulled Mirabella behind her, and then she said to Serena, “If you’ve got nothing to do, why don’t you hit the books in the library? Learn how to be a decent person.”

She glanced at the bag in Serena’s hand and scoffed, ‘Who would dare to eat what you bought?”

Who knew what kind of nasty tricks she might be up to?

1 really didn’t poison.” Serena lowered her head, seeming a bit hurt. “These are just baked today. If anything’s wrong, I’ll stake my life on it.”

“Is your life worth as much as Bella’s?” Kelly said, then she patted Joyce, “You take Mirabella and go.”

“Okay.” Joyce glanced at Kelly, then took Mirabella’s arm and left.

“Sister Serena wanted to say something, but seeing Mirabella’s back, she swallowed her words.

“What sister? Who acknowledges you as a sister?” Kelly looked at Serena coldly and said, “Whatever you’re thinking, I suggest you better drop it. Mirabella is my best friend in life, and I won’t let you hurt her.”

Serena felt a bit wronged and unwilling. “I really want to make up with Mirabella and be friends with her.

“You don’t need to play the sisterly love card, Mirabella doesn’t need a friend like you.” Kelly interrupted Serena, “Just leave Mirabella alone and do what you’re supposed to do, there’s still a place for you in the Collins family. But if you step out of line, I’ll make sure you pay the price, got it?”

Serena didn’t understand why she always received so much malice when she sincerely wanted to correct her mistakes.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do what I’m supposed to do, butil still want to make up with Mirabella, I won’t change this decision.” Serena said, holding out the bag, “Could you please give these to Mirabella?”

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? What Mirabella needs isn’t bread or milk;

What she wanted wasn’t material things.

Kelly said seriously, her tone firm and strong, “What she wants is just a happy family. If you understand this, you’ll get a lot more.”

Serena looked at Kelly’s back and fell into deep thought.

Mirabella didn’t need another friend to shop, eat and do beauty treatments with.

Her life goal was medicine, which was completely different from what Serena was pursuing.

So, no matter how many times Serena tried, it was all for naught.

All Mirabella ever wanted was a happy family.

As long as Serena can keep her act together, the family harmony could last.

Serena was wondering: If one day Mirabella noticed her change, would she see her differently and accept her as a sister?

If that was the case, she was willing to keep trying

As she was just stepping out of Westerly College, Serena heard two voices.

“Serena, what are you doing here?”

Kenneth and Louisa just got off the car, hands full of stuff, obviously here to visit Mirabella.

“Dad, Mom, Martha, what brings you here?”

“We thought wed visit Bella and you. Martha said she missed you, so she came along.” Louisa curiously asked, “Serena, why are you here?”

I wanted to bring some milk and bread for my sister, but.”

Serena thought for a moment, she couldn’t say that Mirabella didn’t accept her goodwill. Wouldn’t that be badmouthing Mirabella?

So she changed her words: “But I didn’t run into her.”

Oh, so she didn’t run into her.

“Did you call her?” Louisa asked with concern, “I heard you’ve been visiting Westerly College a lot lately. How come you’re going there so often? Since when did you start reading medical books? Is this also for your sister?”

“Um, she might be busy. I’ll come again next time.” Seeing Louisa was about to call Mirabella, Serena quickly said, “Don’t mention me coming to Westerly College. I want to give my sister th book and the other food in person next time. You guys go visit her first and I need to get back to Summerfield College.”

Louisa glanced at Martha. “You take Serena back to Summerfield College first and we’ll come later.”

“Okay.”

Martha had noticed Serena was different from the start. After Kenneth and Louisa left, she couldn’t help asking about the situation.
