Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers

Chapter 268: Photo

The employees had no choice but to pick up the pink ribbons that had been sealed in the storeroom for a long time and began to dance.

The background music was the shouts from the lobby manager. “One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four!”

It was simply too horrible to look at.

Seeing this, Lauren and the others were lost for words.

Quinn said, “Uh, it seems that Everlasting Legacy is not proficient in everything. At least in the area of dancing…”

Putting down the pink ribbons, Chef McDonnell sent them off to the car.

Bryce said, “The service here is really good. This famous chef actually personally picked us up and after the meal, he even sent us off to the car! You’re really a VIP here!”

Waving goodbye to the staff outside the window, Lauren said inwardly, “It’s a good thing that I didn’t expose myself today.”

She somehow came here for breakfast, so she definitely didn’t have to do any missions this morning.

After returning to the Torres Mansion, Lauren grabbed her school bag and headed to school.

Ruby was still in the hospital. After school, Lauren planned to visit her.

In the afternoon, Carina found Lauren, telling her that she was going to Ruby’s home to pack some clothes and daily necessities. She asked Lauren to go with her.

Lauren agreed very quickly.

She would try her best to help Ruby.

On the way to Ruby’s home, Lauren suddenly thought of Susan Harding, who was taken away by the police that night.

“Ms. Bailey, how’s Ruby’s mother?” Lauren asked.

Carina put her hand on Lauren’s little head.

“The police said that Ruby’s mother denied everything, Only when Ruby’s condition is better could they ask her about what really happened. Ruby’s mother gave me this key and this piece of paper. She asked me to bring Ruby everything she needed.”

Lauren opened that piece of paper on which were written the items that Ruby needed in her daily life, as well as the places where she put them. One could even see in which drawer she kept her socks.

She was really a dedicated mom.

Did she really hit Ruby? Lauren wondered again.

Entering Ruby’s home, Lauren helped Carina pack up the things written on the note.

She went to Ruby’s room, seeing the jumble on her desk.

There was a ruler, a box cutter, and a half-cut paper jam.

Lauren pulled open the second drawer of her desk. When she was taking out the folder where Ruby usually kept her workbooks, a photo was accidentally pulled out.

Lauren picked up the photo from the ground.

There were two little girls, who seemed to be good friends. They were holding hands, sitting together on a park bench.

One was Ruby, and the other was Rene Sullivan whom Lauren was actually acquainted with.

Lauren was a little surprised.

Ruby also knew Rene Sullivan?

It seemed that the two of them were very close.

Lauren flipped over the photo. There was a date written on the back, which showed that this picture was taken one and a half years ago.

There was also a sentence written at the back of the photo: Rene Sullivan and Ruby Cromwell were good friends for life.

The sentence was written in a crooked way. It was obvious that it was written by a child.

However, someone had used a red pen to mark the sentence with a big “X”.

Lauren placed the photo back into Ruby’s drawer and was surprised to see another photo. It was a young and handsome boy, Samuel Sullivan.

“This…”

Lauren felt that it was a little strange. Rene and Ruby were good friends, so it was not unusual for Ruby to have a photo of her. However, Samuel was Rene’s older brother. Why did Ruby have a photo of him as well?

And it was so well-preserved.

Then Lauren recalled the day when she and Ruby went to Thomas Johnson High School for math class. Ruby burst into tears when she saw the bulletin board.

Lauren didn’t know what had happened to Ruby.

But now…

She looked at the photo of Samuel Sullivan in her hand. Could it be that Ruby saw the photo of Samuel Sullivan so she cried?

Because Samuel had passed away?

But Ruby and Samuel were not that close, right? Why did she cry so bitterly?

It was really strange. It was better to ask her brothers when she went home. Perhaps her brothers would know more about the situation of the Sullivans.

Lauren quickly took the rest of her things. She followed Carina to the hospital.

No one in Ruby’s home could look after her, so the community and the hospital had to hire social workers to take care of her.

Fortunately, Ruby’s body recovered quite well, and her face became florid. Lauren felt that Ruby’s face seemed to have become a little rounder after staying in the hospital for two days. But it still took some time to heal the wound on her hand.
