Liam smiled shyly, accepting the plate. "Yeah, I guess I've been a bit distracted," he admitted.
Naomi looked down at her own food for a few moments before finally speaking up. "You know, if the burden's getting too heavy, I can always drop out and start working," she said, her voice soft and tentative.
Liam nearly choked on his food, surprised by her suggestion. "Why are you thinking like that?" he asked, his concern mirrored in his eyes.
Naomi remained silent, her gaze fixed on her food as she pushed it around on her plate.
Liam let out a sigh, realizing the weight of his recent behavior on those around him. "You don't need to worry about money. Just study hard, okay? I'll take care of everything else. I've been dozing off, maybe I haven't been doing enough for too long, so I've bee

I mean, yes," he stammered, struggling to find words to explain the inexplicable. "She's healing much faster than normal. I mean, it's a good thing she's no longer in critical condition.

However, we still need to keep you here for a few more days, just to be absolutely sure."Shanann nodded, her eyes reflecting a mix of gratitude and curiosity.

She glanced around at the hospital room, her smirk suggesting that she believed such accommodations wouldn't come cheap.The old woman continued, her tone dripping with arrogance, "I won't even pay a cent for this hospital fee."She snorted and added, "I want to see how this brat plans to pay for all of this.
