Chapter 20 Did She Want to Keep Me as a Toy Boy?
Freya returned to her bedroom through the rope ladder by the window. She then rolled the rope up and tucked it under the bed.
After freshening up, she felt drowsy as she lay down on the bed.
Her phone rang a few times. She glanced at it. It was an unknown number, so she turned it off and went to sleep.
The next day, Freya was busy all morning. She uploaded her beauty vlogs before she remembered her phone.
She opened it and saw five missed calls.
One of the numbers seemed familiar. She worried it might be from the funeral home, so she called back.
A cold and deep male voice answered, “Hello.”
It was Radley!
His voice was distinctive, even over the phone. It sent a chill down her spine. Freya hung up and promptly added him to her block list.
It made her a bit angry when she thought about what happened last night. But then she remembered the young man she forgot about. She remembered that they exchanged numbers last night.
She switched on her phone and saw two messages.
The message from Edward said, ‘Miss, are you there?”
Another message was from the bank. Edward Fraser has transferred 9950 dollars to you!
Frowning. Freya replied, ‘Yes, do you have time at 2 p.m.?”
Edward replied quickly, “Yes!’
Freya sent him the address of the coffee shop she usually went to. It was already late, so she quickly tidied. up and told her mother before driving to the coffee shop.
The coffee shop was not far from the Kaufmann Group’s building. When Freya arrived, Edward was already there. He looked a bit uneasy, and his big eyes scanned around.
When he saw Freya, his eyes lit up.
“Miss!” Edward stood up excitedly.
Freya was amused by him. “This is not military training. Let’s sit.”
Once they were both seated, Freya shook her phone. “I sent you the money for the hotel. Why did you transfer it back?”
“I found a small inn for 100 dollars a night, and I had a 50 on me,” Edward explained in a low voice. “Thank you.”
Freya furrowed her brows slightly. Caltun was a rapidly developing city and a first-tier city in the country.
Last night under the darkness, she couldn’t see clearly. But today, with the bright sunlight shining through the window, the young man looked even more handsome.
He had naturally curly short hair, bright clear eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that added a hint of sharpness to his otherwise harmless demeanor.
He was almost 19 meters tall. The only drawback was that he was too thin.
Freya remembered what he said last night. “You said yesterday that you took that job for your brother. Can you tell me more about it?”
Edward lowered his head and told her about his family’s situation.
Despite thinking of herself as one with a heart of stone, Freya couldn’t help feeling a little sympathetic for him.
Edward’s family was once a well-educated family, but both his parents died early. His brother worked hard and became a professor at Evergreen University. However, for unknown reasons, his brother attempted suicide by jumping off the highest building on the campus. Despite surviving the fall, he ended up in a vegetative state.
Currently, his brother relied on medical equipment to survive in the ICU. The daily cost was several thousand dollars.
Edward was still in his third year at university. His family had to sell their ancestral property to support his brother. He had no other choice but to become an escort through a classmate’s introduction.
After listening to his story, Freya thought for a long time before asking. “Do you know where your brother was injured according to the hospital?”
The vegetative state was usually caused by brain injury.
Edward lowered his gaze and said with a hint of sadness, “There is a blood clot in the brain. We’ll have to see how it goes in the future. There is a possibility that he could suffer brain death if it lasts for a long time, but there is also hope of waking up. It’s hard to say for now.”
Freya had an idea in mind as she looked at Edward. “You’re studying photography, right? Do you want to work and study at the same time?”
Work and study at the same time?
Edward clenched his fists secretly and gathered his courage. “Are you trying to keep me as a toy boy?”
Freya’s eyelids twitched. “I don’t have that intention for now.”
Edward felt a sense of loss after he breathed a sigh of relief. “So, what do you mean by work and study at the same time?”
Freya showed her short video account on her phone. “I’ve been creating makeup videos recently and have a few accounts, but I don’t know much about photography. Sometimes, the lighting is not good enough to show the most realistic effect. Would you like to be my assistant?”
“Sure!” Edward nodded firmly.
Did She Want to Keep Me as a Toy Boy?
Freya smiled. “Don’t you want to ask about the salary?”
“You are a good person. I trust you,” Edward replied.
Freya’s gaze dimmed. “You’re too trusting of others, but since you agreed, come to my place tomorrow for a trial period of three days. If you pass, I’ll cover your brother’s medical expenses and give you an extra 3,000 dollars per month for living expenses.”
Edward was stunned and excitedly nodded his head. Then he bit his lip and shook his head. “You may not know how much my brother’s hospital expenses cost. It’s thousands of dollars per day.”
“I know,” Freya interrupted.
“You can easily find a professional photographer without having to pay so much.” Edward continued.
Freya laughed. “Edward, everyone has their low points. If you feel like you’re in the dark, you should seize the only hope. This is not the time for you to be polite.
“If you think I’m giving too much, you can work for me for free for a few years when your brother gets better.” Freya smiled gently.
Edward clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
“Okay!”
Freya gave him a ray of hope in his darkest hour. Even if it would take his whole life, if he could really wait until his brother recovered, he would work for her for free for his entire life.
Freya chatted with Edward for a while and gave him a hundred thousand dollars in advance to cover the hospital expenses. She also sent her address to him.
At the same time, she asked for Edward’s brother’s hospital room number.
“I have to go to class now. I’ll be on time tomorrow.” Edward stood up. He had classes in the afternoon.
Freya smiled and waved. “Go ahead.”
After Edward left, Freya sat alone in the coffee shop. She picked up her phone and entered another system after a quick operation.
She immediately contacted the director of Caltun General Hospital.
‘Dr. Griffiths, I heard that there is a patient named Jamie Fraser in your hospital. I want to take a look at his medical records.
The other side quickly replied, ‘Dr. Harlan, I’ll send them over right away.
Then, the other side asked timidly, ‘Dr. Harlan, do you have any free time lately? We have many doctors who have returned from studying abroad in our hospital. Would you like to give a lecture?”
Freya typed back, ‘Maybe in the future. I’m busy these days.
Ethan Griffiths quickly sent Jamie’s medical records and also an emoticon that was normally used by middle-aged men. ‘You must be working on some medical secret research, right? I understand.”
Freya was speechless. She was clearly working on makeup videos.
