Chapter 236 Orson had gone off to grab a soda and was lagging. Morwenna quickly waved at Orson, whispering, “Orson, I’ve got a mission for you.” Holding the soda, Orson replied with honesty, “What’s it? Do you want me to look after you at school? No problem. Though, I’m a bit too old to enroll as a stu

dent. Maybe I could work as a security guard at the school?” Morwenna facepalmed. “No, that’s not it. I’ll be fine at school, but I hope you can keep an eye on Norbert. If anything happens, you must let me know immediately.. “Oh, I see.” “I left my slingshot under that big tree where Norbert and I usually hang out. It’s yours now.” Orson’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly said, “Got it. I’ll take good care of Mr. Norbert!” Morwenna nodded in approval. “Do well, and when I return for the holidays, I’ll teach you how to miss no shot.” “Deal!” With the slingshot in his possession, Orson hurried off to catch up with Norbert, his face beaming. Morwenna felt a bit more at ease. Orson might be single–minded, but that was why he could see it through with utmost seriousness once he’d promised to do something. Knowing Orson was there to watch over Norbert gave Morwenna peace of mind. Back at her dorm, Morwenna found Norbert hadn’t left yet. After seeing Morwenna head upstairs, he asked Keegan to fetch the gifts from the car, which he had prepared in advance. “Hello, I’m the grandfather of freshman Morwenna. Please take care of her.” “Hello, I’m Morwenna’s grandfather. Would you mind looking after her when she comes to borrow books from the library?” “Hello, I’m the freshman Morwenna’s grandpa. Please accept these small gifts. I’ve also topped up a cafeteria card because that child is too frugal to treat herself. Please ensure she eats well. Just deduct it from this card. Thank you very much.” “I’m the freshman Morwenna’s grandfather…” Norbert went around, distributing gifts everywhere. From Morwenna’s advisor to the cafeteria staff, Norbert asked everyone to look after her. He even had Campbell greet the student council and club leaders in case Morwenna wanted to join any clubs and face difficulties. Facing his twilight years, Norbert did his best to ensure everything was set for Morwenna’s smooth journey ahead of time, hoping her life would be easy. 22 ± 2 = 58 5 That day, many at Rosefrost University heard about a freshman named Morwenna, an orphan only accompanied by her concerned grandfather. Unaware of Norbert’s efforts, Morwenna was busy setting up her dorm with the supplies he bought and the items she brought from the countryside, reluctant to part with them. She covered the new quilt he got her with a hand–sewn cover, and although the suitcase was ancient and the clean but old towel looked out of place, the bucket was brand new. Her setup screamed modesty. After Morwenna handled her old belongings, the cool roommate realized the financial struggle of Morwenna’s family and how she only had her grandfather. Feeling a rare surge of compassion, the cool/girl, Dahlia, dropped her pride and said, “You’re Morwenna, right? I’m Dahlia. Come on, let’s grab some dinner. I arrived yesterday and know the cafeteria well. I’ll show you around.” Morwenna nodded, her smile bright and grateful, “Sure, thank you.”
