Chapter 68
Carlisle responded to Lucy as he glanced at Wanda’s reddened eyes, “She chose the same major as mine. We’re in the same class. She’s also my deskmate. Would you like to say something to her?”
“Okay, give her your phone!”
Carlisle handed it to Wanda, and she immediately thanked Lucy for her help.
hatting with h her.
Lucy comforted Wanda briefly before chatting.
Meanwhile, Susan appeared at the classroom door. She looked at Carlisle and shouted, “Carlisle, bring a
few male classmates over. Follow me and take the textbooks!”
“Okay!” he responded, then picked out a few burly male classmates.
Wanda’s mood improved slightly after she spoke with Lucy on the phone.
Carlisle’s phone vibrated shortly after she had hung up. The MSN messenger icon flashed over the screen.
She wondered if Sarah was the one who messaged him.
Wanda pursed her lips and decided to check on Carlisle’s MSN messenger. However, she hesitated
before clicking its icon.
When Carlisle defended her in the group, he didn’t know that the man in the photo was her brother, but he
believed her without hesitation.
Perhaps his MSN messenger friend was looking for him. She shouldn’t think wildly.
Wanda took a deep breath, suppressed her curiosity, and put the phone back in Carlisle’s drawer.
“Wanda, can I borrow your phone? I want to call my family!”
Phoebe, who sat at the back table, softly nudged Wanda’s back.
She wanted to inform her family that she had arrived safely at the university, but none of her roommates
had phones.
She was bored and decided to borrow Wanda’s phone to make a call.
“Sure!”
Wanda took out her pink flip phone and gave it to Phoebe.
Zachary purchased it as a gift for her 17th birthday. It was a pink customized Sony T618. It was launched last year for over six thousand dollars, with the pink customized version costing over seven thousand dollars.
“Your phone looks nice. Is it expensive?” Phoebe held Wanda’s phone with both hands and praised in envy.
“My brother bought it for me. I don’t know how much it cost!” Wanda smiled gently and didn’t mention the price of the phone.
Phoebe took out a mini phone book filled with phone numbers. After finding the landline connected to her village hend’s home, she dialed the number carefully.
“Hello, sir, I’m Phoebe. Please inform my mother that I’m already at university and tell her to take care of
herself”
“I’ll ask your
mother to come over and answer the phone. Call back in half an hour!”
“There’s no need, sir. She has bad legs. Please tell her that I’m safel
“Alright then. Take care of yourself and study hard. Get a good future so your mother can have a good life!
“Yes, I will!” Phoebe nodded vigorously. After hanging up, she took a dollar out of her pocket.
“Wanda, I’ve ended the call. Here’s your phone. Thank you!”
“You’re welcome.”
Wanda turned around to get her phone back. When she saw the dollar, she was puzzled. “This money…”
The of
bill!”
“Oh, you don’t need to pay!”
Wanda only took her phone back. She couldn’t use up her phone bill anyway. During the summer vacation, she checked and found that there were still more than a thousand dollars in it. As a result, she had- difficulty changing her phone number.
“No, you have to take it, or I won’t dare to borrow your phone next time!” Phoebe’s attitude was firm.
Despite her poverty, she had strong ambitions. Her mother also taught her since she was a child that she shouldn’t be greedy for petty gains.
Wanda smiled helplessly and took the money, “According to the current charging standards, one minute costs 25 cents. You just talked for two minutes. I’ll charge you a half dollar. I’ll return another half to you!”
After saying that, she took out her wallet to look for change. Only then did she discover that she only had cash worth more than ten dollars.
