Chapter 30: Breaking News
Five days had passed in the blink of an eye since Gray made the bold investment. Now, with less than two days left to complete the system mission, Gray was already hoping for some miracle.
Gray hadn't seen Chloe since their last tutoring session on Friday as they had no session over the weekend.
That was also the reason why he was able to rest and slack off for 2 days. He stayed mostly at home with his sister.
The two of them enjoyed the comfort of their small apartment, spending much of their time in the cozy living room, watching some animated movies, and eating. Every late afternoon, they'd also take a walk to the nearby park.
"I'll pick you up again later, okay?" Gray said, ruffling Lily's hair gently.
As Monday came, their daily routine also continued. Today, Gray went with Lily to her school, his sister looked visibly happy about it.
"Yes, brother!"
Lily nodded with a bright smile, her backpack bouncing as she shifted on her feet. The same as her reaction within the past week, she was always happy whenever Gray went with her to school.
"Alright, go now."
"Bye, Brother!"
Gray watched Lily as she dashed through the school gates. She stopped briefly just before entering to wave at him one last time before disappearing into the crowd of children.
