After I left the Moonlit Brew, I drove to The Pack Exchange to buy paper and pencils.
I was preparing to design jewels and participate in this year’s Blood–Bonded Bijou Gala.
This week, I ran around över 30 burial places in the Ironfang Pack to choose a grave for Aurora.
Finally, I took a fancy to one with pleasant surroundings, which would cost at least 150 thousand silver coins.
I did not have that amount of money.
Over the past five years, Lucian gave me monthly living expenses of 15 thousand silver coins.
I was not a spendthrift. Initially, it was enough, and I could save some money every month.
When Aurora fell ill, Lucian didn’t believe that she was really sick.
Treating Aurora’s illness cost a lot, and very soon, my savings were quickly depleted.
I had to ask Lucian for more money.
However, every time I was going to talk about Aurora’s illness, Lucian would hang up my phone or leave directly, without giving me a chance to speak.
To get the money, I had to lie. For that reason, Aurora often suffered grievances along with me.
This time, it was about buying a grave for Aurora; I didn’t want to ask Lucian for money.
I didn’t want to dirty Aurora’s path to heaven.
I was determined to earn money on my own to buy it for Aurora.
When I was thinking about how to make 150 thousand silver coins as quickly as possible, I met Orion Vale. Orion was my college professor. He was also one of the judges for the Blood–Bonded Bijou Gala this year.
Five years ago, Orion admired me and commented I had talent for design.
Back in my freshman year, Orion recommend me to participate in that year’s Design Competition, saying I would be first place as long as I was in.
He checked the works I had designed in my free time over the past few years. He was satisfied and highly recommended me to participate in this year’s Design Competition.
I had long been wanting to use my talent in design.
I loved jewelry design.
And more importantly, the first prize for this competition was exactly 150 thousand silver coins.
I quickly made my purchase. I carried a paper bag and went to the parking lot.
There was a Rolls–Royce Ghost I passed by. The back door suddenly opened, and a strong hand stretched out from the car and grabbed my wrist.
I screamed. My eyes widened, and in a panic, I wanted to cry for help. But I wasn’t given a chance.
