Chapter 175
Laura followed Favian into the car.
Favian fastened her seat belt expressionlessly. “You aren’t able to be with Winnie for the time being. She is in poor health and can’t protect you, so we’ll live together from today on. You can make a list of what you wanna eat, use, and need, or
record them to me.”
Laura understood, but she couldn’t hide her disappointment. “I only need a room.”
Favian glanced at her.
Laura sat on the seat like a despondent kitty.
Favian frowned and dialed a number. “This is Favian. I need all the toys, bedding, and food that girls between four and six like. Deliver them to my home before I get off work at six. I wanna see the changes in my house.”
Then he hung up the phone.
Laura looked at him in astonishment.
Favian looked indifferent. “I won’t make you suffer when you live in my house. Don’t put on such a disappointed look.”
Laura felt speechless.
She was distressed because she wanted to live with Winnie.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a townhouse.
Favian led Laura through the door.
Laura’s eyes lit up.
Favian’s home was large and had two floors. The white-and-gray decoration style was extremely technological, with no redundant decoration in the room or even photos.
The air was filled with a faint cold fragrance.
It was the smell of Favian.
Laura quickly took off her shoes and followed Favian obediently.
Favian pointed around casually and said briefly, “You can use everything here. Just feel at home. But remember, knock on the door before entering my room. Don’t break into it without my permission, got it?”
Laura nodded and looked at him for help. “Got it. But I’m hungry.”
Favian checked the time and refused. “It’s late. Eating now will upset your stomach.”
Laura argued, “But I’m so starving that I have a stomachache.”

Favian felt speechless. “Suit yourself.”
After saying so, he walked away and left Laura in the living room.
Laura was still confused.
She felt that Favian was vigorous and resolute, not talkative or tough to her.
He was unlike those uncles she had just met who would make things difficult for her.
Laura rubbed her hungry belly, went to the kitchen, and found dried pasta.
There was a small pot and induction cooker for cooking dried pasta!
Laura felt happy.
Laura quickly stepped on a small stool and began to cook it.

Favian came to the study and sat down. He took off his eyeglasses tiredly and closed his eyes.
His phone suddenly rang.
It was a message from Joshua.
[Laura seems to like listening to bedtime stories. I’ll go to your house to read her stories. I just bought a bunch of
storybooks.]
Favian replied: [Piss off.]
Joshua: [What?]
At the same time, Robert sent Favian a message: [Favian, thank you for taking care of Laura. She is very obedient and won’t cause you trouble. I’ll send her school uniform and clothes tomorrow morning and finish all my trips as soon as possible to accompany her. She won’t have to bother you then.]
Louis also sent a message: [Favian, whoever falls in love first will lose. Laura is cute, but you can’t love her. Don’t become another Joshua, who’s drinking with a bunch of storybooks in his arms.]
Favian felt speechless.
Favian thought, ‘I won’t love her.’
Nevertheless, before he could reply, Louis sent another message. He seemed to have read Favian’s mind. [Don’t promise you won’t. Laura is weird. She’s bewitched Joshua. Only we two in the Yale family aren’t bewitched. We’re the last hope.]
Favian said in his heart, ‘Ridiculous! She’s just a child. How charming could she be?’
Favian threw his phone aside angrily and pinched his nose.
Originally, he didn’t want to bring Laura back.

Nonetheless, he was the only one who could stop Carol.
As soon as Louis and Joshua saw that woman, they would tremble or get crazy.
Robert could face her calmly, but as an artist who flew around every day, he couldn’t control the whole situation.
Everything would rely on Favian.
Even if he had no feelings for Laura, he couldn’t let Carol succeed.
Favian leaned back on the sofa and had a dream.

”
In his dream, he came to a clean corridor with transparent rooms all around, dressed in a hospital gown with the words
“No. 2” embroidered on it.
On both sides of the corridor were transparent rooms full of his acquaintances.
Robert, a teenager, collapsed and shrank in the corner. Screams sounded from one room, one after another. “Stop scaring me! I’m wrong! I’ll be good! Please don’t punish me!”
Favian looked to the other side.
Joshua slapped the glass frantically. “Carol, you’re insane. I trusted you so much. How dare you do this to me? I’m your
son! Let me out!”
A researcher at the door pushed his glasses and said, “Subject No. 3 gets mad again. Ready to inject tranquilizers.”
Favian continued to walk forward and saw the young Louis crying and shaking his head in the diagonally opposite laboratory. “I don’t wanna do any more exercises. Really, I am so scared. I want Mom!”
Favian wondered, ‘Mom?’
Favian looked at the woman beside him blankly.
Carol took him into a transparent laboratory expressionlessly.
The transparent glass door gradually closed.
Favian looked at the ten Rubik’s cubes in front of him.
Carol’s voice came from the speaker, “Subject No. 2, please unlock the ten cubes in three minutes and put them all back to their original positions. And remember their original shapes. After putting them back to their original positions, change them back to their original versions. If you fail, you’ll be punished.”
Favian lay on the sofa and unconsciously raised his hands, trying to twist the cubes.
However, his expression grew more and more painful, and his breathing became more quickly.
Laura knocked on the door and said, “Uncle Favian, I made pasta, but I can’t finish it. Shall we eat together?”
There was no response.

Laura pushed the door open and looked in, only to see Favian sitting on the sofa with his hands fiddling.
Laura asked in confusion. “Uncle Favian?”

Favian moved faster and faster, with cold sweat oozing from the tip of his nose. He muttered to himself, “Faster… I must be
faster…”
Laura was stunned by that.
She wondered, ‘Is he having a nightmare?’
She hurriedly put the pasta on the table and fanned the smell to him with her small hands.
She wanted to wake Favian up with the smell of pasta!
Favian kept accelerating his movements and suddenly smelled the smell.
In his dream, people in the laboratory looked at each other and roared, “Who’s eating pasta in the laboratory?”
Hearing this, Favian suddenly woke up and subconsciously looked at Laura.
Laura was fanning like a hamster, swallowing saliva on the pasta. When she noticed that Favian woke up, she smiled, “You finally wake up, Uncle Favian! Great, I’ll go eat my share!”
She was dying for it!
Favian looked at her and felt it was ridiculous, his chest heaving violently. “You woke me up?”
Stunned, Laura tilted her head. “You had a nightmare. I have to wake you up. Is it so difficult?”
Favian was stunned for a moment and couldn’t speak..
He wondered, ‘Is it difficult? Of course it is.’
When he had nightmares, the only way to wake him up was to throw cold water on him or slap him.
Otherwise, he would be trapped in a nightmare and keep doing exercises.
He thought, ‘Did this little girl wake me up with pasta?’
Seeing his shocked face, Laura rubbed his head and comforted him. “No worry. Everything is gonna be fine.”
Favian shrank his neck, and his uneasiness was instantly replaced by shock.
He wondered, ‘She’s touching my head!
While he was being comforted by her, his expression became fierce and complicated, like a tiger at a loss. “Do you know what you are doing?”
Laura withdrew her hand and smiled adorably, “Yes. I helped you drive away the monster. I saved you, but you don’t have
to thank me.”
