Franklin was holding a black pen in his right hand. He was writing down a bunch of complicated formulas on the draft paper.

Lauren did not understand what he was saying, but she was still looking at it carefully with her hand on her chin.

After listening to Franklin explain the whole question, Bryce came to a sudden realization.

“Franklin, you’re the best. It’s been so many years since you graduated, yet you still remember it.”

“There’s no need to memorize these things. You just need to understand it. I saw that you were listening to it very seriously. Your attitude should be fine, but why can’t you get better grades?”

Bryce shrugged. “I don’t know either. I just forget the questions once I’ve done them.”

Franklin raised his hand and tapped his younger brother’s head lightly.

It was only then that he noticed Lauren.

“Are you ready?”

Lauren nodded and looked at the two of them as if they were about to leave.

Bryce held the exercise book in his hand and asked, “Franklin, it’s already so late. Why are you still going out?”

“I have to accompany Lauren to a place.”

“Oh, so now that you have a new lover, you can forget about your old one?”

Franklin frowned. What kind of metaphor was this?

“So you’re my old love?”

Bryce nodded his head in agreement. “Of course, am I not?”

Franklin shook his head seriously. “Of course not.”

At this moment, a look of joy appeared in Bryce’s eyes.

“So…you mean that I’m your new lover?”

Franklin shook his head again.

“You’re neither my new lover nor my old lover.”

“Then what am I in your heart?”

For some reason, a sentence suddenly came to Lauren’s mind: You’re my melody.

Of course, Franklin had never seen this commercial before. He gave it some serious thought before coming up with an answer that would make Bryce vomit blood.

“You’re a man in my heart. You’re alive and you need me to raise you.”

Bryce temporarily shut his mouth. He felt that he was no different from a dog.

Lauren chuckled at the side.

Franklin picked up the car keys and turned to Franklin as if he had remembered something.

“By the way, has the kindergarten next to your school opened for enrollment?”

“Yes, why are you asking this?”

After Bryce asked the question, he realized that his question was unnecessary. What else could a kindergarten do? Therefore, Bryce did not say anything.

Thomas Johnson High School was one of the best high schools in the country. In recent years, they had been expanding their teaching scope. There had been a middle school and an elementary school in the past few years.

The middle school and the elementary school were built next to Thomas Johnson High School, which was just a few minutes’ walk away.

This year, they had also built a kindergarten, as they planned to provide a “one-stop service” for twelve years education.

Since Franklin wanted to send Lauren to a kindergarten, then he felt more at ease with the teachers of Thomas Johnson.

Bryce was also close by. If Lauren has any problems, he could help to take care of her.

But Bryce currently was very stubborn and he refused to listen to others.

For a moment, Franklin felt troubled. How could he make Bryce treat Lauren better?

“Come on, Franklin! If we don’t go now, we’ll be late.”

Lauren pulled the hem of Franklin’s shirt. Franklin came back to his senses and extended his hand to Lauren, who held his hand.

Just then, Lauren felt an unkind gaze cast upon her, and she looked up to find Bryce looking at her and her hand that was holding onto Franklin’s.

It was as if she was snatching his brother away.

It was impossible to tell what emotions were in his eyes.

Lauren stuck out her tongue, and pulled Franklin out of the house.

‘Hmph! My brother is mine now!’ Lauren thought.

It was already 8:40 when the two of them arrived at the hospital. As they had previously informed the hospital director, there were no longer any parents in the area where the children were. Only the police were guarding the area.

The hospital director was standing at the entrance waiting for Franklin.

Tony Graham was the director of the Mayo Hospital. He was already over 60 years old and had a wealth of medical experience.

After their mother Maria gave birth to Lauren, Tony was in charge of her recovery, and was her doctor for a few years. After Maria’s health improved slightly and she left the hospital to recuperate, Tony returned to the hospital with peace of mind as the director. Therefore, Tony was quite familiar with the Torres family.

He respected and had a good impression of Franklin, who was the responsible eldest son of the Torres family.

Therefore, when Franklin asked him for assistance, Tony immediately agreed.

Franklin parked his car at the entrance of the hospital.

“Lauren, wait in the car first. I’ll talk to the hospital director first.”

Lauren nodded obediently. Then, Franklin turned off the engine and got out of the car.

Tony saw Franklin and immediately went up to him.
