Chapter 35

After the child regained consciousness, the family repeatedly thanked Lucy White and Ethan Smith before rushing to the hospital for a full checkup.

Once the crowd dispersed, the nearby residents immediately swarmed around Lucy.

"That was incredible, young lady!"

"If it weren't for you, that child would’ve been in real danger."

"Who knew someone so young could read fortunes? Can you take a look at mine?"

"Sweetheart, are you seeing anyone? Auntie knows a great match for you!"

Meanwhile, Ethan was also surrounded by enthusiastic older women, all eager to set him up.

Lucy smiled politely. "Sorry, we still have things to do." Exchanging a glance with Ethan, the two smoothly led their trainees away.

"Miss White, that move was amazing!" Ryan Clark’s eyes sparkled. "Have you trained before?"

Jason Wright chimed in, "And Mr. Smith—that catch was pure instinct!"

Lucy flexed her wrist. "I studied martial arts and taekwondo for a few years." It was true—she’d been bullied in middle school for her looks and later toughened up with self-defense. After traveling through multiple worlds, her skills had only sharpened.

"Funny, I’ve trained too," Ethan said with a light chuckle.

Lucy’s eyes lit up. She held out her hand. "Paw shake!"

Ethan played along, clasping her hand. "Paw shake!"

The live comments exploded:

[OMG Lucy is a queen!]

[That move was everything!]

[Ethan catching the kid—my heart can’t take it!]

[They’re so perfect together!]

[Lucy, read my fortune next!]

[Haters, where you at now?]

The trainees excitedly rehashed the dramatic rescue on their way back. The chemistry between Lucy and Ethan sent the livestream’s engagement soaring.

Both teams successfully sold all their goods and even treated themselves to a famous local restaurant. When they checked the bill, they realized they’d only spent half their earnings, so they decided to walk to the market for dinner ingredients.

As soon as they entered, they spotted Daniel Miller and Robert Lee looking miserable beside piles of unsold potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"What are you guys doing here?" Daniel asked in surprise.

Lucy waved her shopping bag. "We already sold everything and had lunch. Now we’re getting dinner supplies."

"What?!" Daniel’s eyes widened. "You sold out and ate out?"

Ethan smirked. "Because we have Lucy. Something you can’t have."

Daniel and Robert groaned. "We’re borrowing Lucy tomorrow!"

Ethan shrugged. "Depends on your luck."

The trainees eagerly recounted the day’s events, leaving Daniel and the others stunned.

"Little Lucy can read fortunes too?" Robert asked skeptically.

Lucy nodded. "Just a little."

"Do me next!" Daniel leaned in.

Lucy grinned and pointed at their unsold goods. "Keep stalling, and you’ll really go hungry tonight."

Daniel wailed, "Help us out here!"
