Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Kenneth and Louisa exchanged glances, suddenly realizing their son had grown up and become more thoughtful.
After dinner.
“Come on,’ Clark tugged at Mirabella’s sleeve, “I have a present for you.
Louisa had been curious about what kind of gift Clark would give to Mirabella, and why he didn’t just bring it inside from the car.
It wasn’t until Clark opened the trunk of the limousine that a multitude of pink balloons floated out.
“Every single one of these balloons was blown up by me. Do you like them?”
He had seen someone do this online, and had taken note, wanting to give his sister a surprise.”How romantic.” Kenneth hadn’t expected his son to have such a romantic side. And how did the trunk manage to hold so many balloons? It was spectacular!
Serena watched enviously as the balloons took flight, suddenly feeling that Mirabella was so lucky. Clark had never prepared such a surprise for her.
Mirabella saw that each balloon had the words “Welcome home”
written on them. No doubt about it, the ugly handwriting must be Clark’s.
“All the hardships and unhappiness in the past are over. From now on, just stay here in this home.’
Clark patted Mirabella’s head. “As your family, we will take good care of you.”
When all the balloons had flown out of the trunk, the fairy lights inside were still twinkling, casting a dreamy glow. A string of words read, “Welcome home, my dear sister”.
There was a mountain of gifts piled up under the table. Clark handed one over to Serena, “This one’s for you.”
“Thank you, Clark.”
“The rest are for Bella.” Clark hefted up a stack of a dozen or so gifts, “Don’t be jealous. I’ve given you plenty before.”
Serena couldn’t help but laugh at his words, “Clark, you make it sound like I’m petty.”
“Oh no! Neither of my sisters is petty!” Clark announced. Then, carrying the pile of gifts, he turned to Mirabella, “I’ll bring these to your room.”
“Clark, this is too much.” Mirabella eyed the towering stack of gifts, which nearly reached his nose.
“Thank you, Clark.”
“Sweetie, no need to thank me. Wait until I bring these to your room and then you can slowly unwrap them. If you find anything you don’t like, just toss it. No need to force yourself to keep it. I just want you to be happy. Seeing you happy makes me happy.”
Louisa, seeing her son’s thoughtful gesture, couldn’t keep the smile off her face. No wonder he had left Bella’s presents in the car.
Carrying all these would indeed be inconvenient.
After the kids left, Kenneth couldn’t help asking, “Honey, do you think our gift for Bella is too mundane?
No surprise and romance.””We’ll have to plan something grand.” Kenneth felt outdone by his son’s surprise today, so he decided he had to think about what to get next time.
Clark, carrying the gifts to Mirabella’s bedroom door, asked, “May I come in?”
“Sure; Mirabella replied generously.
“Can I put these here? This way you can sit and unwrap them.’ After getting his sister’s approval, Clark placed the gifts on her coffee table. He then pulled out a bank card and handed it over, “This is pocket money from me. Buy whatever you like.”
Mirabella, who had just been thinking that at least one of her brothers hadn’t given her a bank card, was taken aback.
“Clark, that’s not necessary. You should keep it.”
“Take it. It’s a little gift from me.’ Clark insisted, pushing the card into her hand. “I don’t really know what girls like. If I bought the wrong thing, you can buy something you like or tell me, and I’ll get it for you.
Feel free to use it whenever you see something you like.
If the money runs out, I’ll transfer more.”
“You really don’t need to, Clark.”
“What I give you, you must accept. No refusing, got it?” Clark insisted she keep it. When they were alone, he asked, “Who taught you hacking?”
Mirabella quickly explained about those old men, leaving Clark amazed. “You have quite the talent to reach that level with just a little guidance. You’re really impressive.”
Certainly more so than him.”You’re self-taught. That’s even more impressive.”
Great, he didn’t even know how to hack a firewall.
In front of his sister, he was feeling quite outmatched.
“Actually, all you need to do is.” Mirabella, standing on her toes, whispered something into Clark’s ear.
Suddenly, it clicked for Clark. So that’s how it works. Brute force was not the answer. You He had to find a weak point.
He didn’t expect his sister to tell him her hacking secret. This showed that her hacking skills were indeed superior to his.
..
Emerging from his sister’s room, Clark found himself lost in thought.
His sister was a hacker, known as Alex, who easily made a minimum of five million dollars per task. Did that mean the pocket money he gave her was insufficient? Should he consider transferring more?
His phone buzzed, drawing his attention to messages from his buddies.
[Have you seen your sister yet?]
[Isn’t she adorable?
[Don’t wait for her to start a conversation. Be proactive and shower her with warmth]
[Be gentle and courteous when speaking to her.]
[She doesn’t like physical touch, don’t pat her head or touch her shoulder without her consent.]
[No matter what happens, always put her feelings first.]
Clark replied with a smirk, [Do I really need your advice?]
He was about to go downstairs when Edith suddenly rushed up the stairs, panting heavily.
“Ms. Bella, your grandfather has woken up. Would you like to visit him in the hospital? Did you get some rest, Ms. Bella?”
Edith was knocking on Mirabella’s door and didn’t notice Clark standing nearby.
Mirabella opened the door, greeted Clark politely, and then turned to Edith, “Grandfather’s awake?”It was then that Edith noticed Clark, “Yes, the hospital just called.
He just opened his eyes.”
“Clark, would you like to come with me?” Mirabella asked, turning her gaze towards Clark.
This was the first time his sister had invited him, and his eyes softened, “Sure, let’s go together”
His trip home was not only to see his sister but also to check on his grandparents.
Half an hour later.
When Mirabella and the others arrived at the hospital, a nurse rushed up to her.
“Ms. Bella, it’s good you’re here. Your grandpa suddenly started having convulsions and fell into a coma.”
Mirabella immediately hurried to the ward.
Another doctor saw her and volunteered to give a report, “When he woke up, we did a full-body examination and found nothing unusual.
But suddenly, he started having seizures.”
Clark was puzzled as to why all the doctors and nurses were reporting to Mirabella. Did she have medical knowledge?
Mirabella immediately went over to check his pulse, “Who has upset him? What was said?”
Cornelia admitted, “It was me. I was telling him about your and Serena’s background, and he became agitated. Bella, you must save him.”Regret was written all over Cornelia’s face, “I shouldn’t have brought up the subject before his condition stabilized.”
Mirabella took out a needle pack, drew out a long silver needle, and inserted it into several of his acupoints.
Soon, Mirabella’s grandpa on the bed stopped convulsing and gradually calmed down.
“Bella, is your grandfather okay?” Cornelia was still a bit scared. She didn’t expect that the revelation about the children’s parentage would affect him so much.
“He’s okay,’ Mirabella said reassuringly. After she inserted a few more needles, her grandpa slowly opened his eyes.
Clark was stunned. He hadn’t expected his sister to have such profound medical knowledge. She had used just a few needles to revive their grandfather!
“Are you Bella?” Bernard Collins’ voice was still weak. His wife had told him that it was their granddaughter who had saved their lives.
“My name is Mirabella, your granddaughter.’ Mirabella’s voice was calm.
