Chapter 97: Chapter 97

Julian Hawthorne didn’t say anything, making Paige Sterling even more worried, "What’s wrong with you? Did you get hurt somewhere?"

After a while, Julian Hawthorne casually said, "I’m fine. Weren’t you going out? Just go ahead."

The more understanding he sounded, the more worried Paige Sterling got.

In her eyes, Julian Hawthorne was definitely not someone who could be so understanding.

Especially since she could hear the suppressed pain in Julian Hawthorne’s voice. He must have hurt himself.

"Open the door and let me see."

Julian Hawthorne said, "I’m really fine, you should go."

Paige Sterling got a little angry, "Julian Hawthorne, do you hear me? Open the door!"

After a while, Julian Hawthorne slowly opened the door.

Paige Sterling pushed the door open and walked in.

Her pushing was too forceful, directly knocking the already unsteady Julian Hawthorne back onto the floor.

Paige Sterling bent down to help Julian Hawthorne, but Julian Hawthorne pushed her hand away, "Why haven’t you left yet? Your Summer is waiting anxiously."

His tone was really sour...

Paige Sterling said, "Then I’m really leaving?"

As she pretended to turn and leave, Julian Hawthorne pulled at her calf.

Paige Sterling speechlessly asked him, "Did you get hurt anywhere?"

Julian Hawthorne, like a wronged big puppy, hugged Paige Sterling’s leg, saying, "My foot hurts, I can’t stand up."

Since he refused to get up, Paige Sterling simply let him hug her leg and dragged him to the living room.

Julian Hawthorne’s foot had been hit by a bottle of shower gel and was swollen.

Paige Sterling asked, "How could you be so careless?"

Julian Hawthorne said, "It was the clumsy robot’s fault."

The robot, "...", turned around without a word, taking the blame.

Julian Hawthorne added, "Now I’m injured."

Paige Sterling said, "Yes, I know."

Julian Hawthorne said, "And the robot isn’t reliable at all."

Paige Sterling asked, "So?"

Julian Hawthorne said, "I need you more than Summer Xavier does."

"Alright, alright, I’m not going out."

Paige Sterling fetched an ice pack for Julian Hawthorne and then went aside to call Summer Xavier.

Julian Hawthorne tried to stand up to walk toward Paige Sterling but forgot he was unable to move comfortably.

As soon as he stood, the pain made him unsteady, nearly causing him to fall.

Just then, Paige Sterling turned around, and to avoid embarrassment and to save face, Julian Hawthorne sat back down on the sofa, deciding not to stand up or walk for the entire day. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Unable to go out, Paige Sterling cuddled up at home with Julian Hawthorne.

At this moment, she received a call from the security office saying she had a package delivered.

Paige Sterling went to get the package and came back.

Julian Hawthorne opened it and found several pairs of furry animal ears.

Paige Sterling took one pair and put it on the robot’s ears.

The robot initially only had a metal frame, but gradually it got abs, clothes, and shoes...

Whenever Paige Sterling thought about it, she would dress up the robot.

Now the robot was getting cuter and cuter under her styling, looking like a furry person upon first glance, not like a robot at all.

However, the mechanical parts still showed through in the ear area, so Paige Sterling ordered several pairs of furry animal ear hairpieces online, trying them one by one on the robot, and found that the fox ears looked the best.

She patted the robot’s fluffy head, "Hmm, nice, looks good."

The robot cutely climbed up and acted cutesy, causing Paige Sterling to hug the robot for quite a while.

Julian Hawthorne watched the robot with a chilly gaze; it was just acting cute, he could do that too.

Julian Hawthorne took a pair of bear ears, wore them, and shook his head in front of Paige Sterling, "Does this look good?"

Paige Sterling couldn’t help but laugh, she found Julian Hawthorne had a special... reverse charm when he acted cute.

Julian Hawthorne was enjoying time alone with Paige Sterling, but soon her phone rang again.

Paige Sterling glanced at the caller ID and saw it was her uncle calling.

She answered, "What’s wrong, Uncle?"

"Paige, has Sonny gone to the Sterling Family’s place?"

"I’m not at home," Paige Sterling stood up and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"The kid threw a tantrum yesterday, insisted on running away and said he would go find you. We stopped him. We sent him to school this morning, but he secretly ran away en route, and the kindergarten teacher called to tell us he was missing..."

"Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll call the Sterling Family and ask."

Paige Sterling immediately called the Sterling Family, but Sonny Chambers hadn’t gone there.

Paige Sterling said to Julian Hawthorne, "My little cousin is missing, my uncle is really worried now, I have to go check it out."

Julian Hawthorne stood up, "I’ll drive you."

"You hurt your foot, just stay at home, don’t run around."

Julian Hawthorne, "...", why did he have to hurt his foot?

Paige Sterling went out and got in the car, taking her computer from the back seat and began typing furiously.

The Chambers Family had equipped Sonny Chambers with a phone watch, and Paige Sterling quickly pinpointed his location through the watch, then called her uncle.

"Uncle, I’ve located Sonny. He’s quite close to me, don’t worry, I’ll head there right away."

Kids these days tend to run away from home, causing all sorts of trouble.

When Paige Sterling reached the location, Sonny Chambers was fighting with a few taller and stronger boys.

The group of kids was trying to snatch the robot toy Sonny was holding, which Paige had given him recently.

He refused to let go, but as a smaller child, he was getting quite beaten.

A group of kids fighting was one thing, but bullying a smaller kid, fine.

What was truly unbelievable was that the parents of those bigger kids were sitting on the nearby flower beds, laughing and watching, not even pulling the fighting children apart, displaying a demeanor of "as long as it’s not their kid getting hit, they won’t interfere."

Paige Sterling chuckled coldly, if parents don’t educate their kids, society will do it for them.

Paige Sterling walked over; she had been boxing regularly lately, so her grip was strong. Almost effortlessly, she grabbed each kid and tossed them to their parent’s feet.

The kids could only yelp and yowl.

Paige Sterling turned around and asked Sonny, "Are you okay?"

Sonny looked dumbfounded at Paige. When did his cousin become so awesome?

The mothers of the bigger kids helped their sons up and angrily rushed at Paige.

"What are you doing? How dare you hit my son?"

"A grown-up hitting kids, aren’t you ashamed?"

Paige Sterling sneered, "At least I’m not as bad as you for letting your kids snatch from others and bully them."

After hearing Paige’s words, the mothers used their numbers to try to hit Paige.

Sonny cowardly hid behind Paige.

Paige simply slapped each one in succession, without pausing, causing their faces to swell.

They hadn’t even realized it before they found themselves hit by Paige.

The mothers, holding their swollen faces, looked incredulous, "You actually dared hit back. You..."

They wanted to rush over again, but Paige raised her hand, scaring them into inaction, resorting only to threaten Paige.

"You hit my son, and then you hit me, I won’t let this slide, you must pay, do you hear me? Or I’ll call the police on you!"

Paige didn’t pay them any mind and asked Sonny, "What happened? No lying!"
