Chapter 295 The Life Of An Ordinary Person

“Is that what Mdm. Camila said?”

“She didn’t say it outright, but she was apologizing to Mom and Dad in a roundabout way. She was quite humble. But don’t worry, they are taking it well. They see it as a missed opportunity but not entirely a bad thing. They chalk it up to fate.”

Lysander nodded. “Yeah, that’s true. How have Mom and Dad been these past few days?”

“They’ve lamented a bit, but they seem okay. Mom is genuinely a bit sad, but she understands that it’s about Zachary’s future. She can’t say much about it. Dad seems fine, enjoying watching the Olympics. every day.”

“That’s a relief. I’m not home, and you’ve grown up now. Take good care of Mom and Dad, help them

with chores.”

“I know, Lysander,” Michelle obediently agreed. “Oh, by the way, you don’t need to come back this weekend to help me with my university applications. Zachary already helped me with them.”

“He went to our house?”

“No, he probably felt guilty toward our family. He didn’t come over, but he called me to his place and helped me fill out the applications there.”

“Did you apply to a science and engineering university? What major?”

“Well, Zachary said it’s tough for girls to find jobs in engineering, regardless of the major. So, he chose materials science for me, saying that polymer materials might be a booming field and could be more suitable for girls.”

“Do you like this major?”

“Can’t say I like or dislike it. Lysander, I just want to graduate and earn a good living. Any major will do.””

Lysander couldn’t help but smile. “At your age, don’t you want to choose something like animation or gaming? I thought you liked anime.”

“Well, liking something doesn’t put food on the table, Lysander. For kids from ordinary families like us, finding a job is the top priority. Chasing dreams is a luxury for the rich.”

Lysander sighed with mixed feelings. “You’ve grown up so much over this summer.”

“Right? I feel the same, haha. Anyway, my anime has been updated. I need to catch up!”

After hanging up, Lysander felt a sense of relief.

Zachary had handled things well after getting the benefit, and the families hadn’t fallen out.

Michelle had matured significantly.

The once rebellious girl who almost fell out with the family over a teenage romance had learned a hard. lesson from life and become more practical.

Lysander wasn’t sure if this was good or bad.

it the modest family background that forced her sister to give up on her favorite major, becoming lasting regret? Or did these experiences make her more mature and sensible? Either way, there was a sense of regret.

Perhaps in the future, when Michelle were to reach Lysander’s age and feel overwhelmed by research work, she might regret not studying animation. She might feel a sense of loss and struggle.

But this is the life of ordinary people, pushed forward by society.

“Dr. Thorne, guess who I saw!”

Lynn came bouncing in, startling Lysander.

“Who did you see?” Lysander asked.

“That woman who had the baby with the dark-skinned man! She’s in the orthopedic department, with her parents, not your ex-husband.”

“Oh.”

“Wow, her head is wrapped like a mummy. That looks serious. I was in the elevator and ran into her parents bringing her food. I overheard them. It seems it’s not just orthopedics; her dad mentioned needing to see a psychiatrist from the psychiatric department too.”

“The psychiatric department?”

“Yeah, Dr. Thorne, do you think she might have gone mad from the shock?”
