"I said I don't believe in marriage or dating, not that I don't love love my girlfriend. I'm planning to spend my whole life with her. Now, take care. Bye." Lydia wouldn't back down. She finally returned from Hesperia with Stella.
To further her education, Lydia had chosen a business management course there, one that her entire family had opposed, just to match Lydia's major. She wasn't about to let it go.
Lydia spread her arms and blocked Truman's path. "I don't believe you. Not unless I see her with my own eyes. I'll wait here for you every day until you agree to show me." After saying this, Lydia stomped her foot and stormed out of Ebb & Flow.

He turned to head to the bar but stopped midway. "Wait a minute... something feels off. I should have Leo look into this woman.
"What if she's sobsessive fan or something? That would be a real hassle. After all, I'm somewhat of a public figure." He quickly sent Leo the car plate number and screenshots of the woman from the security footage.

Truman read it aloud, "Lydia from the Walton family, Tristan's daughter. I feel like I've met her before." Truman bit his finger, confused. "Wait, no... Jagger and Grandpa are friends... Maybe I've seen her before. But forget it. I'll ignore it for now. She probably just showed up on a whim. Maybe she won't even cback." ***** Monday was the start of another workweek.
With only two days remaining until the Global Medical Association's traditional and modern medicine skills competition on Wednesday, Hank was focused on preparing. Aside from occasionally visiting Betrico Hospital to check on Clara, he spent most of his tin intense study.
When Hank entered the classroom building, he was reading a medical book.
However, halfway to his destination, Jean stopped him.
Hank, focused on his book, didn't notice anyone in his path until he suddenly stopped, his head snapping up in alert.
Immediately, his alertness faded, and he looked a bit dazed. "Oh, it's you, Jean. What's going on?" Jean stood with her hands behind her back, inspecting Hank closely.

As soon as Hank heard that, he flashed a big grin, looking as though a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "Ah, so that's what this is for..." He paused before continuing, "Jean, you're too kind. On behalf of all the kids at the orphanage, thank you." Hank politely took the bag Jean handed him, and when he opened it, he saw that it was filled with healthy snacks for children.
Jean smiled and patted his shoulder. "You sure know how to flatter someone. All right, go ahead and hit the books. Show us what you've got. Don't let Cherise down." Hank smiled again and started to walk around Jean.
But just as he passed her, she grabbed his arm. "Hold on. Wait a minute." Jean looked at him seriously, her profile turned toward him.
Hank didn't react much, just smiling and looking at her. "What's this, Jean? You're not going to tak@back the gift, are you?

A flicker of something strange passed over Hank's eyes when he heard those words, but it.disappeared just as quickly. He lowered his voice and replied, "What are you talking about, Jean?

Jean tilted her head, listening to him. After a moment, she shrugged and said, "I must have been mistaken then. Well, it's fine. I won't bother you anymore. Good luck." 2/2
