Serve No One This Life

Joseph frowned and earnestly said, “Angela, now is not the tto act impulsively. Where will you go after

leaving the Kins Family? Besides, it's dangerous for a girl like you to be out there. If something happens, what

will we do?” Avoiding the question. He wants to avoid discussing this sensitive topic. | already know what his

answer is. Angela chuckled lightly and replied, “You don’t need to worry, Joseph. Rest assured, | will live well and

won't do anything foolish.” Although she already knew the answer, Angela still felt a bit sad in her heart, but it

didn’t matter. She walked past Joseph and left the Kins Residence. In the military zone stood ancient buildings

that, although renovated, still exuded a strong sense of history.

When Angela first returned to the Kins Family, she couldn't fit in. She had lived with her grandmother since she

was young and stayed here. From the age of 10 to 16, her teenage years were spent here. Looking at the

familiar house from her memories, tears welled up in Angela’s eyes as she continued walking inside. Angela had

never seen her grandfather. She only heard her grandmother say that her grandfather sacrificed himself while

catching thieves and was a towering hero. Her grandmother, Charlotte, used to march with her grandfather and

worked as a military doctor. After her grandfather retired, she opened a small clinic next to the compound.

Angela learned her medical skills from her grandmother. Zacharias had poor health, so she diligently learned

medical skills from her grandmother at that time, largely for the sake of Zacharias. Unfortunately, her efforts

couldn't compare to a few caring words from Fanny. She lived with her grandmother here, and George rarely

cby throughout the year. He only visited a few times during the holidays. But for sreason, her

grandmother didn’t get along with George.

They would argue as soon as they saw each other, and her grandmother even chased George away with a

broom. Even though George had a good temper, he was eventually worn down and becirritable. After that,

he never cto visit the elderly again. After her grandmother passed away, she inherited the house and a red

passbook from Angela. That was her grandmother's lifelong savings, and Angela had never touched it, nor was

she willing to use that money. The house was on the second floor of the third building. Angela opened the door

with the key. It was a two-bedroom apartment, and the furniture was still of the old-fashioned kind. It was still the

shere, but because no one had lived here for a long time, the windows were covered in spider webs, and

there was a thick layer of dust on the chest of drawers. Angela rolled up her sleeves and quickly cleaned

everything inside and out, feeling much more comfortable afterward. Her stomach started growling, so Angela

took out a stack of money from the hidden compartment of her wallet, which contained the money she had

saved for a year. Originally, she had planned to buy a birthday gift for Fanny next month, but now she could use

it for emergencies.

There were spennies and quarters, and the biggest one was the dollar bill. She counted them, and there

was a total of 37 dollars, enough for her to use for a while. There was a small shop at the entrance of the

courtyard, so Angela went to the convenience store and bought a pack of instant ramen, seggs, and other

necessities. A bowl of steaming hot instant ramen was ready, although Angela had only added salt and no other

seasonings. Angela found it especially delicious. She didn’t have to please her family members anymore, nor did

she have to serve them like a nanny, and she didn’t have to listen to their insults. She could live however she

wanted. After completely letting go, Angela felt comfortable. Late at night, when she was half asleep, her phone

next to her vibrated. Angela rubbed her eyes and irritably picked it up, glancing at the caller ID. Is this person

crazy? Don’t they know it’s rude to disturb someone’s sweet dreams so late at night?

Annoyed, she pressed the hang-up button and threw the phone aside. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the

phone rang again. Impatiently, she pressed the answer button. On the other end of the line, Christopher's voice

cthrough with anger, “Angela, you have snerve hanging up on my call.” Angela rubbed her ear and

moved the phone away from her, then shouted into the receiver, “Christopher, are you out of your mind? Do you

realize it’s impolite to call at this hour? Speak up or be quiet.” As soon as she said that, even through the phone,

Angela could sense Christopher's anger. He was breathing heavily, and his tone was filled with a strong scent of

hostility. “Angela, you're returning to school tomorrow. It’s better if you inform the teacher yourself that you're

voluntarily giving up your spot. Otherwise, | have ways to transfer it to Fanny.”

After saying that, he abruptly ended the call. Staring at the dark screen of her phone, Angela’s previously drowsy

mind suddenly becclear. If it weren't for Christopher's call reminding her, she would have completely

forgotten about this matter. Seeing how eager they were to take her spot and trying to pressure her into giving it

to Fanny, Angela was determined not to let them have their way.
