Chapter 230: Missed Class

There was a long way to go in the future, and there were many dreams to achieve. However, natural catastrophe and misfortune had caused her to die young.

Suddenly Franklin Torres’s phone rang. He seemed to have received many messages.

Franklin Torres looked at the phone and saw some photos his high school classmate chat group had sent.

He clicked to see them and Lauren Torres leaned over.

The photos that the group had sent were taken at the gathering yesterday.

It had only been six or seven years since they graduated from high school. The appearance of everybody did not change much, except they had grown up and become more mature.

Franklin Torres continued to scroll down the photos until he saw the one everyone took together when they graduated from high school.

Lauren Torres had sharp eyes. She immediately spotted Franklin Torres in the photo and the boy standing next to him.

This big brother… Lauren Torres felt familiar. She thought about it and realized he was one of the boys she saw in the photos on the bulletin board.

Lauren Torres pointed to the boy and asked, “Brother, is this big brother the one who died to save his sister that you have just mentioned?”

Franklin Torres nodded.

They used to be in the same dorm, and they had a very good relationship. Although they didn’t go to the same university, they kept in touch with each other. Occasionally they came out to play sports and chit-chat.

But now, they no longer had the opportunity to do so anymore.

“Is his name Samuel Sullivan?” Lauren Torres asked. She had some impression of him and she could match his face to his name.

Franklin Torres was a little surprised. However, when he thought about Lauren Torres’s various strange abilities, he understood.

He nodded. “Yes, his name is Samuel Sullivan. His sister used to study in Thomas Johnson Kindergarten. Her name is Rene Sullivan.”

“I see.”

Lauren Torres nodded, feeling even more sorry.

If Rene Sullivan were still alive, they would have become good friends like their brothers.

Lauren Torres patted on Franklin Torres’s shoulder and comforted him. “Eventually everyone will die. But death does not mean that he has disappeared from this world. Only when he is forgotten that he truly disappears. Now that he has Brother and your classmates to remember him, he will forever live in our hearts.”

After thinking about it, Franklin Torres realized what Lauren Torres had said did make sense.

Over the past year, he had thought of Samuel Sullivan countless times. And their dazzling days in the past as well.

As long as he did not forget, Samuel Sullivan would not disappear.

He closed off the picture and off his phone. Then, he scooped a bowl of porridge for Lauren Torres.

“Quickly eat, or it will get cold.”

“Okay! Brother, let’s eat together!”

The weekend passed quickly. The days were dull and uneventful. The Torres Group’s anniversary celebration was coming up soon, so many things needed to be prepared. In the following two months, the company’s turnover would need to be raised to a higher level. Only then would the anniversary celebration have a better performance.

Therefore, even on weekends, Franklin Torres would stay in the study room and work overtime.

Quinn Torres had been running around due to his job. He would leave early and return late. Thus Lauren Torres couldn’t see him at all and could only play alone in the room.

Finally, it was Monday. Lauren Torres filled her bag with snacks to give to her classmates.

Ruby Cromwell didn’t come to class today.

Lauren Torres asked Carina Bailey after class and was told that she was sick.

After hearing the news, even her favorite handicraft class, Lauren Torres couldn’t attend with peace of mind.

Without Ruby Cromwell by her side, no one would give her extra paper to fold.

Lauren Torres thought since she and Ruby Cromwell were good friends, and now that she was sick, she should go and see her.

After class, she ran to the teacher’s office to ask where Lin Jia lived.

But before she entered the office, she heard Carina Bailey talking on the phone.

Tang Lan had no intention of eavesdropping and had wanted to leave. But she was attracted by the content of the phone call.

“Hello, is this Ruby Cromwell’s mother? This is Miss Bailey.”

“I’m calling to ask about Ruby’s condition. It’s not serious, right?”

“That’s good. However, children’s allergies can be serious. We have to be careful in the future.”

“Okay. We’ll be waiting for Ruby to come back.”

So Ruby Cromwell actually had an allergy. Lauren Torres thought to herself as she was standing at the door.

When Carina Bailey hung up the phone, she knocked on the office door.

“What’s the matter, Lauren?”
