However… the next day, Moore Audrey only had time to boast to Jade on her phone about making a friend with the top student Thompson Miguel.
After that, she hurriedly followed Ms. Eloise to the hospital because it seemed that the thing she had applied for the previous day had some issues; this morning, the girl woke up with a big red patch on her face.
As a result, Moore Audrey faced serious criticism from Eloise and was explicitly forbidden from going to the haunted house to scare people again.
With this, Moore Audrey encountered another indestructible roadblock on her path to inheriting her family’s fortune.
Dad expressed that besides feeling sorry for his precious daughter, he was also somewhat relieved; his precious child finally had no chance to covet the fortune he had worked hard for.
Fortunately, Moore Audrey had a good constitution since childhood; she was fine after taking medicine and applying ointment.
But just thinking about the top student who loved doing homework in the haunted house, Moore Audrey felt a rare sense of gloom.
It seemed she couldn’t contact the top student, Thompson Miguel, for friendship today…
In this melancholic mood, she spent a dull Sunday.
——
Meanwhile, on Saturday, the top student Thompson Miguel, who had met Moore Audrey, leisurely stepped into his home under the last rays of the setting sun.
He happened to run into Miguel’s mom, who was serving dishes at the table, greeting him with a smile:
“You’re back~ Hurry up and wash your hands and put your bag down to eat… After dinner, we’ll hand over the tasks I assigned you today!”
The boy softly responded with an “mm,” shouldering his bag back to his room to put things down and wash his hands.
Miguel’s mom looked at his back with a bit of regret, shaking her head:
“What a pity about that face…”
Then she looked quite troubled: “How did he end up with such a poker face…”
The boy moved quickly, and in a while, he returned from his room to the dining room, having changed into casual clothes.
As usual, he sat down to eat quietly, and after finishing, he diligently cleaned the dishes and washed them.
Then, he obediently approached his mom to submit the completed task, very consciously opening his phone album and handing it to Ms. Lyla, who was sitting on the sofa.
Ms. Lyla took the boy’s phone and looked at it for a moment, ultimately sighing with a bit of melancholy:
“How come this poker face of yours is so hard to treat? Forget it; you don’t have to go to the haunted house tomorrow; it seems this method doesn’t work for treating your poker face. Mom will find you other methods…”
Thompson Miguel remained very calm, silently taking back his phone, looking at the expressionless version of himself on the screen, then glanced at the somewhat gloomy Ms. Lyla, paused for a moment, and suddenly spoke:
“It should be effective…”
Yes, after that strange girl fell and rolled around, he laughed.
Ms. Miguel was taken aback and suddenly looked up: “Really?”
Thompson Miguel looked at his mother’s expectant expression and nodded lightly.
“Mm…”
Ms. Lyla felt very gratified, patted the boy’s shoulder, and said with a joyful face, “Then you can continue to go to the haunted house tomorrow… Mom won’t check on you.”
The boy glanced at Ms. Lyla, then fell into his own thoughts. That girl was somewhat interesting; he should be able to treat his facial paralysis a bit more with her.
After saying goodbye to Ms. Lyla, he returned to his room.
As he walked, he thought about getting that ghost girl’s contact information tomorrow to plan the duration of the treatment.
The next morning, after breakfast, Thompson Miguel left the house, heading straight for the entertainment city not far from home.
As usual, he went to the haunted house, but after wandering around, he found no meaningful gains.
