Chapter 511: Chapter 453 Trending Topics
Since Nina had agreed to marry Harley, Harley did not want to let her go. So he asked his agent to announce the news of the successful proposal on Twitter and even mentioned Nina’s account the next day.
Nina acquiesced to this.
However, as soon as this news was announced, it quickly became the first treading topic in just three hours and attracted a lot of attention.
For a moment, Harley’s and Nina’s Twitter were full of comments from fans. Despite the fact that some of them showed disagreement and dislike for Nina, most of them were about congratulations. After all, everyone knew that Harley liked Nina.
Even the TV media began to wantonly report the news of their wedding. After all, as a well-known star, Harley would definitely occupy the front page of the entertainment industry when it came to such a big thing.
Tom returned to the remote area to be a teacher. However, the newly built classroom enjoyed much better conditions than the old ones did. But everyone could see that Tom did not like to talk or laugh as he did before and often stayed alone. No one knew what he was thinking.
In the teachers’ dormitory, on the TV was a piece of news. The host was talking about entertainment news. Harley’s and Nina’s faces appeared on the screen. It was their wedding news.
Tom was staring at the TV without moving. Looking at Nina’s photo on the screen, he suddenly felt extremely sour.
He still couldn’t marry the woman he liked.
The more Tom watched the news on TV, the more upset he became. He simply picked up a can of beer next to him and took a big gulp of it. After leaving Nina, he liked to drink. Only alcohol could numb him so that he could not remember anything and would not be sad.
"Tom." A female voice came from outside the door. She was Luna Blower, also a volunteer teacher here, Tom’s colleague.
Luna knocked on the door a few times and found that the door was not closed. There was a faint sound coming from inside. She felt a little confused. She gently pushed the door open and saw Tom sitting on the bed, drinking his beer. The news of Harley and Nina was still on the TV.
"Tom, what happened to you?" Luna was a little worried when she saw Tom like this. She walked to Tom and tried to put her hand on his shoulder.
But when she saw the news on TV, she understood everything. She instinctively lowered her eyes to hide the sudden sadness in her eyes.
Luna came here after Tom. After she met Tom, she liked this man who was a few years older than her. At first, she was just relying on him, but gradually, she developed feelings for him. But at that time, all her colleagues knew that Tom had a girlfriend in the urban. So she only hid her feelings in her heart.
But after Tom came back, Luna heard that he broke up with his girlfriend.
Luna felt uncomfortable to see Tom being like this. He was now different from his former self, who was polite and gentle to her.
She pursed her lips and sat down next to Tom. She patted him on the back and said, "Tom, don’t be sad. I ... I think she must be thinking about you too. Maybe she is also very sad..."
Luna tried to say something, but the more she said, the more incoherent she became. She did know whether Tom was still sober or not. His ears were red. He shook his head and laughed at himself. "Forget it... Anyway, I was the one who gave up on her. Now, it’s good that she has a good home. But ... but..."
He slowly tightened his grip on the corner of the table. "But I feel uncomfortable..."
Tom was a tall man. But now his voice sounded like he was crying. Even his eyes were red. Perhaps it was because he was too drunk, or too sad.
The voice on the TV continued. Tom was probably too emotional. He threw the beer can on the ground. However, after a while, he suddenly frowned and growled. His right leg, which had already recovered, was now red. It seemed that the old injury had relapsed.
When his right leg was cured, Luca had told him that it might relapse. So he was told to avoid alcohol and spicy food. Otherwise, it would relapse. But now, he made an exception.
Luna was surprised to see Tom in pain, but she was more worried. She quickly bent down and asked, "Tom, Tom, what’s wrong?"
When she saw the red part on Tom’s right leg, Luna was shocked. She wanted to call someone over, but Tom obviously needed someone to be there. The villagers had always slept early. So she simply supported Tom up and put one of his arms on her shoulder. Tom was taller than her, and most of his body was on Luna. They moved out of the teacher’s dormitory.
When they finally arrived at the infirmary in this remote place, Luna’s footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. She patted the door of the duty room.
"Doctor! Doctor!"
The lights in the duty room lit up. A doctor who looked to be in his forties opened the door in a white gown. He looked at Luna and Tom in confusion. Luna quickly squeezed into the room and said to the doctor, "Doctor, quickly take a look at his legs."
The doctor quickly helped Tom to sit down on the seat with Luna. He tried to press the red and swollen part of Tom’s leg. Tom frowned and suppressed his shouts.
"His right leg was injured before?"
Hearing the doctor’s question, Luna nodded tentatively. Her voice was a little hesitant. "Yes... His right leg was injured in the previous earthquake. It took a lot of effort to cure it. Doctor, how is his leg? Is there any way to treat it?"
The doctor pondered for a while and shook his head. "He must have suffered a relapse from his old injury. However, with the conditions here, I can’t treat his leg injury. If you have time, you should take him to the hospital in the cities to receive complete treatment. I can apply some ointment to him today and fix it."
Luna looked at Tom worriedly. However, she also knew how limited the conditions here were. She had no choice but to nod. "Okay... Thank you, doctor."
In Aldness.
"Nina, don’t be nervous. The prenatal checkup is very easy." Nina was already three or four months pregnant. Ariana was very worried that she would suffer any more grievances. She also feared that Nina would not be able to sleep well in the Timothy’s house. So Ariana quickly moved over to be there for her. Today, Ariana took Nina to the hospital to do the prenatal checkup.
