Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 1639: Let’s Be Friends

Lucy fell asleep, lying by Darren’s bed. Although it was not a very comfortable position, lying on such a warm and comfortable blanket still gave her one of the best instances of sleep she had over the past few days. Even the abrasions on her shoulder caused by the vines recovered quite a lot, and the pain was also reduced significantly.

“Big Sister... Big Sister!” Lucy heard Darren’s voice.

“Darren!” Lucy lifted her head, and locked eyes with Darren’s.

The deathly white in Darren’s eyes was significantly reduced, and his iris looked darker and clearer. Darren had a surprised expression.

“I... I can see you. I can see you, Big Sister,” Darren said in surprise as tears welled up in his eyes.

Although his vision was still rather blurry, the initial darkness looming over his eyes was gone. There was only a thin fog-like layer hovering over his eyes. However, he could already see Lucy, who was by the bed. Even though it was blurry, at least he could see.

“Really? Can you really see me? Darren, is it the truth?” Lucy bolted right up and gripped Darren’s shoulders agitatedly.

“Mm-hm, mm-hm. I can see you. You’ve grown to be so pretty,” Darren nodded with a slight smile.

“That’s great. That’s really great.” Lucy hugged Darren tightly as tears fell uncontrollably. She sniffed, and said, “If Grandpa were to find out, he would be overjoyed.”

“He will know. Grandpa said that he had turned into a star. I’ll tell him when night falls,” Darren said as he choked up.

The siblings cried as they held each other tightly.

Knock! Knock!

Knocking came from outside the door, followed by Christopher’s voice. “Are you awake? Let’s go out to eat.”

“It’s Mr. Christopher.” Lucy quickly wiped away her tears, and looked at Darren as she seriously said, “We must thank Mr. Christopher and the owner of the restaurant properly. They are the ones who cured you.”

“Mm-hm. Mm-hm.” Darren nodded obediently.

“Let’s go out.” Lucy stood by the bed, and watched Darren get dressed, get off the bed, and wear his shoes clumsily before holding his hand and walking towards the door.

“Grandpa, did you really give my customized clothes and shoes to someone else?” a young girl with a white mink cloak, who was standing beside Christopher, asked with a frown. It was apparent that she wasn’t happy.

“Dorothy, I’ve already told you that I’ve given the clothes and shoes to someone who needs them. It’s my fault for not discussing this with you beforehand. I’ll get the tailor to customize another set for you later, but if you aren’t well-behaved later, then no new clothes for you next year.” Christopher looked at the young girl beside him, and said, “You know, that girl rejected your cloak in a very subtle way.”

Dorothy raised her eyebrow upon hearing that. “That’s my favorite mink cloak. I’ve been looking forward to it for a whole year. Looks like that girl isn’t that bad.” Her closet could no longer fit the usual clothes and shoes. Besides, that old-fashioned tailor would make similar clothes and shoes every year. She already knew that it would be a bright red skirt with a pair of bright red shoes.

Actually, she’d set her eyes on Blue Suede Fashion’s new product, and had already used her own pocket money to reserve the most fashionable down jacket. It was a cool black down jacket, and she would be receiving it in three days. It was her first time successfully getting one of Blue Suede’s new products, and she just could not wait.

Therefore, when her grandfather told her that he had given someone else her custom-made clothes, she wasn’t feeling terrible, but just a little upset that he gave her things away without her permission.

In fact, if that person was really a needy person, she wouldn’t actually mind giving away the clothes and shoes that she didn’t really like.

Moreover, her grandfather said that they were a pair of siblings who came from a distant village to Chaos City to treat an illness. That did sound rather pitiful.

The door opened up very quickly.

Lucy walked out with Darren.

Dorothy looked at Lucy. She was wearing a long red and green dress and a pair of leather boots. The clothes and shoes fitted her rather well, and that was well within her expectations.

The young girl appeared to be around her age. She had delicate features, but looked very frail. Her face was pale, and her hair was tied up messily. Her bright eyes were a little red. She seemed to have cried just now.

The little bit of unhappiness was completely gone with just one look at that girl. This girl really looks like she needs help. It was just a set of clothes and shoes; besides, the other party even left the coat behind, and that made Dorothy quite fond of her.

Lucy also noticed Dorothy, who was standing beside Christopher. They were of similar age. Lucy guessed that she had to be the granddaughter Christopher was referring to. Dorothy was very beautiful, and had very smooth and long golden hair. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her long neck gave off the air of elegance and nobility of a swan. She was wearing a long black dress, and the white coat that she had on her looked rather familiar. It seemed like the one that Mr. Christopher wanted to give her this afternoon.

Do the clothes and shoes that I’m wearing belong to her? Lucy suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She felt as though she had taken someone’s beloved item, and wanted to change out of and return the clothes and shoes.

Christopher went up, and exclaimed in surprise. “Wow, look at Darren’s eyes. The white has already disappeared a lot. Can you see now?”

“Mm-hm, mm-hm. I can already see things close by.” Darren nodded. He bowed deeply towards Christopher, and then gratefully said, “Thank you, Mr. Christopher.”

“You’re welcome. It’s great that I was of any help to you.” Christopher held Darren’s arm with a smile, and said, “Looks like the roasted pig’s eyes are very effective for you. Let’s set off right away. Let’s have another 10 skewers of roasted pig’s eyes, and maybe your eyes will be completely healed tomorrow when you wake up.”

“Thank you so much.” Lucy also looked at Christopher gratefully.

“You’re welcome.” Christopher waved his hand. With a smile, he introduced, “I forgot to introduce her to you, this is my granddaughter, Dorothy. She’s the same age as you, Lucy. The four of us will eat at Mamy Restaurant together tonight.”

Dorothy took a step forward with a smile, and greeted, “Hello, I’m Dorothy.”

“Hi. I’m Lucy,” Lucy said a little shyly. She gripped the sides of her skirt nervously, and hesitated for a while before mustering up the courage to say, “I’ll return your clothes to you as soon as possible. I’ll change out of them and wash them, and...”

“Oh, that? It’s alright. I think it looks better on you.” Dorothy looked at Lucy with a smile, and reached her hand out. “Let’s be friends. That way, you can wear my clothes, and I can wear your clothes too.”

Lucy looked at Dorothy’s hand, and then at her clean and warm smile, and hesitated a little before reaching her hand out as well.

“Let’s go. I’ll find you a jacket. It’s a little cold to just have a dress on.” Dorothy took Lucy’s hand and walked out.

This child... Christopher watched as Dorothy pulled Lucy away, and shook his head with a smile. He held Darren’s little hand, and said, “Let’s go. We’ll wait for them in the horse-drawn carriage.”
