Chapter 356 Who la That Wealthy Lady
The woman’s waist–length hair cascaded down. Beneath the wide sleeves of the hospital gown were delicate, snow–white arms.
In addition to a watch, she wore a beautiful emerald bangle, giving her the appearance of a wealthy lady. Kiddo, your medical skills are more impressive than you lot on.”
“I’m just ok.” Wynter removed the needles and offered a few words of advice. “Ma’am, as your doctors probably told you, sometimes you’ll feel better after letting go.”
The woman was stunned for a second, then suddenly smiled. “Kiddo, do you and your little brother have plans later?”
Initially, Wynter wanted to say she needed to go home. But the woman’s eyes pleaded with her to say no, so Wynter shook her head.
The woman immediately suggested, “Let me treat you both to some beer. Oh, right, children can’t drink alcohol. Your brother can have Coke. How about we go get fried chicken?”
Wynter was too full. However, Wolf’s eyes lit up at the mention of fried chicken. He nodded vigorously.
He tugged at Wynter’s sleeve and gestured seriously. “You can’t let a person who has lost a part of her
soul wander the streets. What if she gets possessed and harms someone?”
Wynter raised his small face and glanced at his canines. “You know quite a lot.”
After saying that, she turned to the woman and chuckled. “There’s a KFC up ahead. After we eat, I’ll have
your family come pick you up.”
“Okay,” the woman replied happily.
She found it odd how close she was getting to Wynter. It was probably because of her eyes. When Wynter
looked at her, she didn’t feel the fear others usually felt.
The woman was well aware of how people reacted to her during her episodes. Even her husband’s eyes were always filled with fear and pain when he looked at her.
She wasn’t sure if her condition was improving or deteriorating.
The good news was that some of the painful memories were starting to fade. Previously, she’d have an episode once a month. Now, she had one every six months.
The bad news was that her brain felt like mush. Everything she did seemed illogical. Doing her usual job felt like she was reading an alien language now.
Even though her husband told her not to bother with it, she didn’t want to just stay at home. She nearly
forgot what she was like before.
She always felt like she had forgotten the most important thing to her. Even when she slept, she would cry as she just couldn’t remember.

KFC was usually open 24 hours, especially in the city. There were several office buildings around where. workers doing overtime could be seen coming down to buy coffee and burgers,
Wynter was ordering from the self–service kiosk, while Wolf eagerly tapped on the screen to add more
items.
The woman took a sip of her cold beer. As she bit into her fries, her eyes squinted with satisfaction. “It’s been so long since I felt so relaxed. Fried food really does bring joy to people.”
“Then you should indulge occasionally,” Wynter replied as she adjusted Wolf’s sleeve. When she lowered her eyes, the mole beneath her eye was covered.
Looking at Wynter, the woman was lost in a daze for a second. Wynter raised an eyebrow.
Only then did the woman smile. “I must look like a middle–aged woman freeloading off food.”
“Not at all. You don’t seem like a middle–aged woman at all.” Wynter squeezed some ketchup onto the woman’s plate. “It’s been a while since I’ve treated him to this kind of food, so it’s a good opportunity to
reminisce.”
Wolf held a chicken wing, vigorously nodding his head while gesturing with his hands.
The woman understood. “Your grandma won’t let you eat this?”
Wolf froze, his eyes widening. She understood! Wynter also looked at the woman, slightly amused. Smiling, the woman said, “I used to be a teacher and learned a bit of sign language.”
