Chapter 28 – The old lady who can foresee the future
Clark vaguely answered Chloe's question.
"We can go together."
Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Pete suggested that they all go together, then shrugged.
"It's a pity it's not summer, otherwise we could be lifeguards at the pool."
That way, they wouldn't have to be with the old people wearing dentures. But now that the spring weather hasn't completely warmed up, doing volunteer work indoors is better than picking up trash and cleaning the streets outdoors.
Chloe had already completed her community service and declined the proposal.
"She's not just paying attention to me, but also to Clark."
David observed.@@@@
Although Kara was chatting and barbecuing with a few girls, she occasionally glanced over here.
He secretly observed her, and she was secretly observing him and Clark.
"What is this person's purpose?"
"Chloe, you look cold. Do you want me to keep you warm?"
A school team member with thick golden short hair and wearing a football uniform walked over, looking somewhat handsome, and smiled at Chloe.
"I can't believe you said something like that so easily."
Being approached by someone, but speaking so boldly, Chloe was surprised and shy.
"Don't misunderstand, I have a blanket. Do you want to come and sit with me?" Sean raised his eyebrows and gestured over there.
"Sean, you're not her type!"
Pete stood up, not afraid to face Sean even though he was shorter.
David had heard of this Sean, smooth-talking and deceiving girls into liking him, but breaking up shortly after. He was a complete scumbag.
"In biology class, the teacher assigned me to do an experiment with Jenna from the next class."
As a school reporter, Chloe had naturally heard of Sean's reputation and laughed.
"I heard you broke up with her last week?"
"More accurately, we broke up with each other."
Sean was not flustered. Seeing Chloe smile, he was even more certain and confident.
"Do you want to come and sit with me? I promise I won't do anything, no matter how beautiful you are in my eyes."
Finally, he spoke gently, looking at her with his best eyes, as if his affection could melt a person.
A blush appeared on Chloe's face.
Not many people have praised her like this. Who said no one likes her?
She glanced at Pete, who had been jealous of Kara earlier, and was about to say something.
"I..."
"Chloe, you haven't had a sip of alcohol. Can you get dizzy just by sitting by the fire?"
David suddenly spoke up.
Young people in their adolescence often act impulsively without considering the consequences.
"Stay away."
He looked at Sean and simply said three words. Sean's eyes dodged, and he had heard that David had dealt with Whitney and his friends alone, so he raised his hands in surrender.
"Okay, okay."
He had no hope of picking up girls anymore, so he turned around and left, going to the lake to play football with a few friends who called him over.
"Actually... I just wanted to give him a phone number to send him away."
After Sean left, Chloe, who had calmed down, looked at the small group of friends who were watching her, her face turning red as she tried to salvage her pride. "I'm not stupid."
David shrugged. "Let's just pretend you meant what you said."
Chloe felt a bit embarrassed by his words, but in the end, she thanked David and Pete, understanding their good intentions.
"Room 206 needs a service staff, please report to room 206."
The announcement came over the speaker.
Every student had to do thirty hours of community service, and David was no exception. The three of them arrived at the nursing home and received their assignments.
A girl in a red uniform with beautiful black hair, pushing a cart full of books, turned her head and walked out of a room.
"Hi, Lana, what a coincidence, you're here too."
Clark waved and greeted her, pretending to be surprised, but his voice betrayed his nervousness.
"Are you volunteering here too?"
"For a while now." Lana greeted the three of them and smiled faintly.
"What tasks have you been assigned?"
"I need to read books with Kassandra."
David and Pete didn't speak, giving Clark the opportunity to converse with Lana. David's task was to play chess with an old lady.
"Kassandra? She's interesting."
Lana revealed a playful expression and laughed.
"The caregivers all say she can predict the future, from a few minutes ahead to the entire life of others."
"Have you tried it, Lana?"
Upon hearing Clark's question, Lana didn't answer, shrugged, clearly not believing it, then pushed her cart and left to deliver books to the next elderly person.
"Predict the future?"
Pete didn't react much to this, David raised an eyebrow, and Clark's attention was more on Lana's retreating figure.
In the room, an old lady with white hair and a kind face, wearing blind glasses, was reading a book in Braille.
"Don't stand there, it's the first time I've had three people read with me. Come in."
She suddenly spoke.
Clark and the others looked at each other at the door.
【Joy from Kassandra +1, +1.2...】
David's eyes flickered, secretly observing the old lady.
She really was a power user, and not a weak one, but he wasn't sure if she could predict the future.
However, did this old lady really need someone to read with her? How could one read Braille with her?
"How did you know there were three of us?"
Entering the room, Pete asked in confusion.
"Although my eyes are blind, my ears are not deaf." Kassandra answered with a voice full of vicissitudes, but Pete was not completely convinced. Could a blind person's hearing be that good?
Kassandra took off her blind glasses, accidentally dropping the book on her knee to the floor.
Pete, who was standing in front of the two, stepped forward to help pick it up, accidentally touching the old lady's hand.
"What's your name, sir?"
The old lady asked slowly as she put the book away.
"Pete Ross."
"Mr. Ross, your journey home today will be long. Check your pocket."
Kassandra revealed a mysterious smile.
Pete felt his pocket and found that his car keys were missing, not knowing where he had lost them.
"I'll go first. It seems I won't be able to do my volunteer work today. You two brothers take care."
He looked at the old lady in surprise, a hint of despair flashed across his face, and he said to the two.
After Pete left.
"Are you two brothers?"
Kassandra looked at the two of them, got up from her chair, not looking blind at all, accurately facing the two with a kind smile.
"What are your names, gentlemen?"
