Chapter 187
How can a young woman with only a junior high school diploma master such cutting–edge technology?
It must have been Oswaldo who handed it in for her, in her name.
As for why Oswaldo did this, he definitely wanted to help Lizzie establish herself here.
Everyone looked at Judith. Everyone knew what Oswaldo was thinking about Judith, except Oswaldo himself.
Now that Oswaldo is protecting someone else, she must be feeling really sad.
Judith rubbed her eyes hard and gave everyone a strong smile.
“I’m fine. I think they were just colleagues with a pure relationship. Oswaldo only has Vivian and his research in his heart, there’s no room for anyone else. Let’s not overthink it.”
Judith pretended to be casual, finished speaking, stood up, waved to everyone, and said, “See you next year.”
The New Year was approaching, and the town was livelier than usual. It wasn’t as bustling as after the lockdown, but it was still a lively and bustling scene.
The car drove past the street, Vivian’s little face almost pressed against the cold car window.
Her big round eyes were blinking non–stop, looking around excitedly.

Lizzie picked her up, her little face all red from the cold glass.
“Oh, look at you, your face is so cold, is it chilly?”
Vivian didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, instead she chuckled and said, “Not cold!”
Zackery parked the car steadily in front of the mall.
The mall entrance was packed with people, “the crowd at the door was so dense that the door couldn’t even close, all of them were here to buy New Year goods.”
Although life is tough now, the tradition of celebrating New Year is deeply ingrained. Everyone wants to have a lively celebration, and prepare some delicious food and new clothes for their hardworking family members.
Lizzie looked at the crowded crowd, she didn’t
It’s not easy to squeeze in, I’m afraid.
now what to do.
Her leg injury had just healed, so she could walk without crutches, but if she squeezed into the crowd, anything could happen. She didn’t
want to risk injuring her leg again.
Zackery obviously saw her concerns and he quickly spoke up.
“Ms. Trevino, there were too many people inside, your leg wasn’t convenient, what do you want to buy, I’ll go.”
Lizzie didn’t hesitate, took out the money from her pocket, and handed it all to him, “Thank you so much.”
Zackery took the money, nodded heavily, then turned and dove into the crowded crowd.

Lizzie handed the money to Zackery, passed on the responsibility of buying things, and Oswaldo squeezed in too.
She held Vivian and walked towards the opposite side of the mall.
There was a little stall selling lollipops.
An old man with white hair was carrying a bamboo stick with lollipops stuck on it.
Lollipops were all wrapped in shiny sugar coating, sparkling in the winter sunlight.
Several little kids were gathered around the stall, craning their necks, eyes full of longing, drool almost dripping down.
However, these children looked a lot but bought little.
Lizzie carried Vivian over and stood behind the kids, so Vivian could see the lollipops clearly.
“Vivian, which one do you like?”
Vivian’s little head immediately leaned in close to those lollipops.
Her big eyes were looking around.
The styles of lollipops nowadays are very simple. But in the eyes of children, it’s different. Some are big, some are small.
Vivian’s little finger was waving in the air, and finally landed on a big lollipop.
“Lizzie, get that.”
Lizzie stood behind the kids, before she could speak up for Vivian, the lollipop she had her eye on almost got picked by someone else.

She was so anxious that her face turned red, “Sir, sir!”
Vivian’s voice was sweet and crisp, catching the old man’s attention immediately. He looked up.
“Hey, this little one looks so cute, like a doll.”
Vivian knew she was being praised, so she sweetly smiled at the old man and said, “Sir, I want that lollipop.”
The old man saw that Vivian was sweet and likable, so he happily gave her the one she had her eye on.
The old man handed the lollipop to Vivian, and Lizzie paid for it.
Vivian immediately handed the lollipop to Lizzie, telling her to bite the biggest, reddest candy at the top.
Lizzie’s heart was soft, thinking of her past life with Darrell. Even though she tried to teach him well, he couldn’t change his selfish nature. No matter what food it was, if he liked it, he would never
share.
Even if she pretended to want some, he wouldn’t share.
Every time Theron took Darrell back to their hometown, he would always end up fighting with his siblings over various little things.
