Chapter 556 Sean’s Quest For Wifi
Abigail pressed her hand against her racing heart, unable to handle the situation any longer. “Is this the only way you can get attention?” she asked, frustration evident in her voice.
“No, but I need to connect to your company’s WiFi,” Sean replied casually.
Abigail recited a series of numbers, trying to distract herself from Sean’s distracting
presence.
He’s doing this on purpose, isn’t he? Abigail thought, but Sean didn’t make any further moves.
Once Sean successfully connected to the WiFi, he glanced at Abigail’s flushed ear and smiled knowingly.
Meanwhile, Cameron walked alongside Analise, carrying Sean’s clothes. The two of them had finished their meal and were now enjoying the vibrant neon lights of the street.
“I wonder when Mr. Graham will allow me to return,” Cameron mumbled, savoring a lamb sausage that Analise held for him.
Analise fed Cameron with her left hand, while holding her own sausage in her right. “My teeth aren’t in great shape. It’s difficult to chew this sausage.”
“Bring it closer, Grandma,” Cameron said, stretching his neck towards Analise.
Analise looked at him affectionately and remarked, “You’re such a glutton.”
Cameron chuckled. “My real grandma pa*sed away a long time ago. When I’m with fortunate to see how everyone admires us.”

I feel
Hearing his words, Analise looked at him with sympathy and asked, “Where are your parents?”
“My dad was an alcoholic, a gambler, and abusive. He drove my mom to the point where she couldn’t bear it anymore and she tragically took her own life by jumping into a river,” Cameron explained calmly.
Analise was taken aback. “I didn’t mean to bring up such painful memories.”
“Don’t worry, Grandma. It’s fine. Let me tell you something. After my mom’s death, my dad started abusing me. We would have violent fights, using chairs and even kitchen knives. We would attack each other, terrifying the neighbors. At that time, nob*dy dared to mess with my family,” Cameron shared.

Analise handed him the largest skewer and asked softly, “What happened next?”
“One day, while he was drunk, my dad stumbled into a pit in the village and died. I felt relieved when I heard the news,” Cameron continued. Then, he sighed. “But less than at month after his death, my uncle’s family took over our house. I became homeless and had to go to the city to find work. Unfortunately, nob*dy wanted to hire me because I was too young.”
Analise felt tears welling up in her eyes as she listened. “You’ve had a difficult life.”
Cameron smiled. “Many kids have had it tough. During that time, more than a dozen of us were kidnapped. Some had their legs broken, some had their hands cut off, and others had their eyes burned. Luckily, because my dad used to beat me so much, I learned to fight back, which saved me from losing my limbs.”
“Stop, Cameron. I feel so sorry for you,” Analise said, her eyes reddening.
“I’m sharing this so you can understand my past,” Cameron said with a happy smile. “I envy Ms. Quinn for having such a wonderful grandma like you. If someone had found me back then, would I have been as lucky as her?”
Analise leaned closer and rested her head against his chest. “I can take care of you now. Just follow Abigail, and I’ll protect you.”
“Alright, Grandma!” Cameron replied, his smile brightening.
The duo continued their stroll, finishing their food as they walked. Analise listened attentively to Cameron’s stories, learning about his time in the human trafficking
organization, enduring daily beatings and severe injuries. Yet, he fought relentlessly for his life, which terrified the human traffickers.
They thought I was a tough guy, so they wanted me to work for them. I pretended to submit, but then I reported them to the police and got them all arrested. That’s how I ended up joining the military,” Cameron explained, a sense of pride in his voice. “Later on, I became a special forces soldier. However, I retired after a few years due to my numerous injuries. Thankfully, Mr. Graham took me in.”
Analise felt a deep sadness. After all, Cameron could have turned to a life of crime, but he chose to become a strong and honorable man.
I’m also your family,” Analise said, tears streaming down her face.
However, in that moment, Cameron suddenly said, “Did you find my story touching. Grandma? Seeing Analise’s surprise, he burst into laughter. “I made it all up! I was just bored and felt like telling you a story.
“You rascal’ How dare you trick me? Analise playfully raised the skewer as it she would hit
