Ivy was shocked when she heard that Marrisa was going to donate 300 million to Brighton University to establish a schrship fund for students in need.
"Marrisa, I have a sponsored student who is also attending Brighton University. I was just getting ready to send her some birthday gifts and living expenses today.
Marrisa eximed with delight, ''Ms. Dickinson, you''re so kind. You''re doing something wonderful!
"How much do you provide her every month?"
"I gave her 3,000 Draconia coins for living expenses, with additional funds for tuition and any school-rted activities. Over the past few years, it''s been about 100,000 a year, Ivy replied without hesitation. "One hundred thousand? That''s a lot!" Amber eximed in surprise.
""Yes." Ivy nodded.
"Her name is Rhea Chandler.
She mentioned that the expenses at Brighton are quite high. With so many activities each month, the 3,000 barely covers it. "That''s why I''ve been thinking about increasing her allowance, so she can focus on her studies without the financial strain."
Amber shook her head. "Aren''t you worried that giving her too much might spoil her? It could lead to some awkward situationster on." Ivy smiled bitterly. "When I was in school, my family was very poor. I know firsthand how hard it is to struggle just to afford an education. "But,pared to before, the costs at school are definitely higher now.
"It''s alright. I earn a lot now, so I can give her a little more to case her burden.
Amber nodded but didn''t say anything else.
Marrisa took Ivy''s hand. "I''m actually heading to Brighton University. Let me take the money and deliver it to the girl for you." Ivy immediately waved her off.
"Marrisa, I understand. When you''re poor, your pride is at its strongest.
"If either of us personally hands her the money, it could hurt her pride..
"I''ll transfer it through the funding ount instead. This way, she won''t feel like she''s being pitied."
Marrisa nodded. That''s true! I hadn''t thought of that. You''re very considerate."
She nced at Shirley, who was busy, then looked back at Ivy, her eyes bright with pleasure.

She whispered to Robin, "Robin, it seems like Ms. Dickinson really likes you. I think that''s great.
Robin looked at Marrisa, amused by her excitement, and shook his head. "Since when did you love to gossip? You''re so boring! Go away!"
Marrisa gave him an exasperated look. "You troublemaker!"
As she nced around at the other beautiful women in the lounge, a mischievous smile yed on her lips.
Robin will never have trouble finding a wife now, hehe...
At 11 AM, after Casey helped Marrisa finish the necessary paperwork for the chamber ofmerce, Robin apanied Marrisa to Harmonfield High-Speed Rail Station. As they entered the station, Robin noticed a mother and daughter walking slowly ahead of them.
The mother, around 50 years old, walked with noticeable difficulty.
Robin quickly deduced that the middle-aged woman likely had a heart condition.
The blood clots blocking her coronary arteries were causing her to struggle like this.
-Under normal circumstances, there wouldn''t be an immediate danger to her life.
However, any sudden physical strain could cause the clot to block the artery, potentially leading to a fatal heart attack due to ack of blood flow to the heart.
He briefly thought about stepping in to help clear the blood clot that had been troubling her for years.
However, to outsiders, he would likelye across as a scammer.
It wasn''t a situation where he could offer assistance without raising suspicion.
He wasn''t a saint and couldn''t save everyone.
But there was something about the woman walking alongside her that piqued his interest.
The moment Robin caught sight of her back, he suddenly had a strong feeling of déjà vu.
It was a sense he had never experienced before.
The station was bustling with people heading to Brighton, and soon the mother and daughter disappeared into the crowd.
The second-ss carriages were a bit crowded, and the station had even sold some standing tickets.
Robin and Marrisa made their way through the crowd and finally found two seats in the third row of the carriage.
The second-ss seats were arranged in a 3+2 arrangement-three seats on one side and two on the other. Amber had purchased tickets for Robin and Marrisa, which were for two of the three seats on one side. As they settled into their seats, they were surprised to find that the mother and daughter they had

encountered at the station were seated in the same row
The mother was coughing intermittently.

The young woman sat on the opposite side of the aisle from her mother, continuously weaving through the crowd to attend to her.
Seeing this, Robin stood up and said, "Miss, let me switch seats with you so you can better take care of your mother."
The young woman nodded gratefully,
When their eyes met, both were momentarily taken aback by an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
Amid the crowd, they felt an unexpected connection.
Marrisa was stunned.
From the side profiles of Robin and the young woman, their eyes, noses, and even the shape of their lips were strikingly simr.
At first nce, they truly resembled a brother and sister
Could there really be such a striking resemnce between a man and a woman?
Robin stood frozen for a moment, staring absentmindedly at the young woman in front of him.
The woman blushed slightly. "Well, thank you, sir."
Robin couldn''t help but gaze at her graceful figure and beautiful face.
An inexplicable sense of warmth and familiarity washed over him, as if this feeling hade from a distant childhood memory.
Robin watched the woman''s figure disappear into the crowd, lost in thought for a while, then shook his head with a self-mocking smile. How could he be feeling like this?
Is it possible / have a long-lost sister?
That dmn Old Fred never wanted to talk about these things
It was as if he had escaped from somewhere.
Marrisa noticed the middle-aged woman''sbored breathing and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
The woman nodded. "Yes, I''ve had heart problems for many years.
"My daughter heard that there''s a hospital in Brookhaven that might be able to treat my condition, so she brought me here to get checked. But when we arrived, they couldn''t find anything wrong, so we had no choice but toe back.. "Sigh, the high-speed train tickets are so expensive," the middle-aged woman said, shaking her head in

don "At first, I thought we could just take a regr train, but my daughter insisted on taking the high-speed
train.
"She said the people on the high-speed trains are more refined, and the ride is morefortable 1 couldn''t argue with her, so I agreed.
"My daughter is such a good girl! She goes to school during the day and works part-time at a hotel at nigh
"She used up her entire year''s sry to bring me here for treatment, but we didn''t get any results. It really breaks my heart.
Behind them sat a young couple in their thirties, along with their two children, around ten years old.
The woman overheard Marrisa and the middle-aged woman''s conversation and sneered, muttering under her breath. "No money? What''s she doing taking the high-speed train? So tacky
Both Marrisa and the middle-aged woman heard the woman''s mockery. They just smiled and shook the heads.
They had both been on the receiving end of such mockery countless times and had long since grown used to the cruel behavior of people like that.
