Meanwhile, on the other side of the town, Auntie Grace was with Ma Perry alongside several staff from the foundation.
On this day, they were having a field day, so several staff were not at the office.
Since Auntie Grace was with Ma Perry, she could only follow the other. As a result, she wore the foundation t-shirt and took part in the fieldwork as well.
They first visited the hospital where several patients the foundation was covering were admitted.
Auntie Grace was so surprised when she heard of the figures the foundation was forking out just to treat these people.
They even brought some fruits and other food. The staff were very friendly; it touched her a lot.
She was someone involved in charity. However, rather than participating in such events, she was the kind who could fork out the money. As for what the organizations would do after getting the money, she wasn’t that interested.
So, to be able to participate like this, she couldn’t help but be touched.
After the hospital, their team visited the orphanage. When she first heard about the orphanage, her mind thought of the orphanage with kids already there. So, when she saw an empty orphanage which looked new, she was quite confused.
"In-law, what is this?" she couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Ma Perry, seeing the confusion of her possible future in law, whose skin was so thick seeing how she called her in-law easily like that, couldn’t help but explain to the other.
When Auntie Grace heard that the orphanage was something that the foundation owned. She was pretty much amazed.
"She is doing a good job, isn’t she?" Auntie Grace couldn’t help herself but boastfully praised with sparkling eyes.
If anyone was to hear that and saw the way she was acting, they would think that she was praising her own daughter.
However, Ma Perry was happy to hear that. Whoever praised her daughters was her best friend.
"Um, she is a good one. Wait until you see more!" she said happily, eager to share more wonderful things her daughter had done, and that was exactly what Auntie Grace had been waiting for.
And thanks to that eagerness, she learnt quite a lot about Diamond. She started worrying about her son.

Summit University
Inside a certain class, a man with white bears stood in front of the class as he sternly spoke. "Anyone who doesn’t finish the assignment and surrender it by Monday will be fined by having five credits taken out."
His statement earned an endless groan from the students sitting.
However, the man didn’t bother with the students. After saying his piece, he concluded the lesson before picking up his things and leaving the class.
As soon as he was out for the door, the students started complaining, grievances in their tones.
"Professor is too much. He just gave us the assignment today, and he wants it done by Monday!"
"And it’s quite packed. That’s enough assignment to last two weeks!"
The more the students shared, the more they felt aggrieved.
Among the students in this drama-filled classroom was Ruby, who wore a faint smile on her face.
She was even at a loss after receiving such a pile of assignments. He wasn’t the only professor who gave them assignments. And yet he wanted his, on Monday. Was he expecting them to be at their books the entire weekend?
