“In a couple of days, I’ll be going to Athesea. If there’s anything you need, you can go directly to Danny or Cameron.” Elise nodded. “Okay. You can go back without any worries!” Elsie’s unconcerned behavior made Alexander feel a little perplexed, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything to her, so he swallowed his words. “Stay safe!” Elise got out of the car and waved at Alexander before walking toward the school entrance. After she entered the campus, Alexander retracted his gaze. However, in the next second, a stack of A4 papers under the seat caught his attention. Bending over, he picked up the stack of papers and spread them out, only to find that they were packed with writings in the Arisian language.
A suspicious look appeared on Alexander’s face. Elise knows Arisian? Moreover, her proficiency in Arisian was obviously above his. Even he didn’t recognize many of the professional terms written on the papers. Elise sat down on one side of the library and had just opened the textbook when a figure sat opposite her at the same time. She looked up and was obviously surprised. “Why are you here?” Alexander took out the A4 papers he had picked up and handed them to her. “You left your things behind.” Glancing at it, Elise realized that it was the document that she had helped Ricky translate.
She left in such a hurry that she had left it in the car. She quickly retrieved it and said, “Thank you!” To her surprise, Alexander asked, “You know Arisian? When did you learn it?” Elise seemed to have thought of something, then explained, “I found Arisian to be quite an interesting language, so I learned it for a while.” Alexander nodded in approval. “Not bad! As far as I know, you’ve reached a professional level. Before that, our company had a cooperation deal in Aris. If I had known that you knew Arisian, we wouldn’t have had to hire an external translator.
You’d be the best translator!” Upon hearing this, Elise was a little panicked. She wanted to tell him that she was the translator he hired, but she didn’t know how to say it. “Alexander, I…” Elise bit her lips, then said, “If the company needs help in the future, I can help…” Alexander replied, “You should focus on your studies! I’m leaving now.” With that, Alexander got up and left. After returning to the car, he didn’t leave right away. There were many scattered scenes in his mind as he took out his phone and gave Cameron a call. “Help me run a check on Sare.
I want all of her information and her current location!” “Okay, Young Master Alex!” After hanging up the phone, Alexander’s fingers were beating at a rhythm as he thought, I hope it’s not what I think… … After Alexander left, Elise flipped through the textbook but had lost the interest to study. Hence, she got up and closed the textbook before leaving the library. Elise was walking along the man-made lake of the school when at this moment, an old woman fell in front of her. All the students surrounded her, but no one reached out to help her. “Hey, don’t go over! It might be a scam!” “That’s right. Nowadays, old people can be quite evil. If you don’t have any money, it’s better not to help her. What if you get cheated?”
“We’re all students and aren’t that well-off, so let’s just forget it.” The students exchanged looks and hushed discussions; no one dared to step forward. At this moment, Elise walked over. “Madam, are you all right?” The old woman who had fallen to the ground placed her hands on her knees, looking to be in extreme pain. Elise didn’t think much and immediately helped her up. “Madam, did you hurt your knees? Let me help you up.” The old woman stood up with Elise’s support, her knees hurting severely. Elise hurriedly helped her sit down on the bench nearby. Only when the old woman recovered her senses did she look up to get a clear look of Elise’s face. “Such a good girl! Thank you so much!”
I’d fallen for quite a while, but no one came forward to help me. Society has really changed… “You’re welcome, Madam. Why did you come to the school alone? Do you have family here?” Looking at her, the old woman explained, “The park at Tissote University is very scenic, so I tend to come here when I’m free.” Elise nodded, then looked at the old lady’s knees, which seemed swollen, and said, “Madam, wait here. I’ll get you some pain relief balm.” With that, Elise got up and ran to the school’s infirmary. After buying the palm relief balm, she returned and gently applied it on the old woman’s knees.
“Madam, don’t worry. This pain relief balm works very well and will soon clear the swelling and bruising. Your knees will get better in no time.” The old woman looked at Elise, her face filled with warmth. “Kind child, thank you for your help. You’re such a kind person. I’m penniless, so I don’t know how to thank you…” “You’re welcome, Madam! I’m sure that anyone would help you in this situation. I’ve just done something that any other person would’ve done.” The old woman held her hand. “If everyone was as kind as you, I wouldn’t have lay there for so long with no one bothering to help me. Good girl, I know how kind you are. Thank you…” As she spoke, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes, and she continued, “If my grandson were still well, I would definitely introduce him to you.
He’s excellent, and he’s the type that young girls like you would fancy, but… unfortunately, he’s now in a vegetative state due to a car accident…” At this point, the old woman couldn’t help but wipe the tears from her eyes. Elise quickly patted her on the shoulder and consoled her, “Madam, don’t be sad. Everything will be fine.” The old woman gave a hard nod. “Perhaps! By the way, miss, what’s your name?” Elise answered, “Madam, you can call me Elise!”
“You must be a student of this school! I’m going to keep that in mind, Elise.” Then, the old woman felt around her bag and took out an old phone before handing it to Elise. “Can you please give me your phone number? I’d like to come and talk to you next time if I have the chance.” Elise took the phone from her, then entered her phone number and name. “It’s done, Madam!” The old woman looked at her contact, which was already saved, and nodded with relief.
