That wasn''t any regr video. It was one that contained explicit content.


    As soon as the unusual sounds came through, Den immediately realized what it was and turned it off right away.


    He quickly sent a message to Justin. "You''re looking for trouble?"


    Justin burst outughing and replied, "Den, you have a girlfriend now. It''s time to gain some experience. You''re at that age now."


    Den responded with a short, "Get lost!"


    Justin didn''t dare to send another message.


    De went back to researching the mysterious guy named "Phantom". Before he knew it, half an hour had passed. Hey on his bed, arms behind his head, and his mind a mess of thoughts.


    His mind used to be calm and collected.


    But ever since meeting Hailey, things started to feel different.


    Almost unconsciously, Den reached for his phone and clicked on the video again.


    ...


    Next door, Hailey and Aileen were already in bed and chatting away.


    Hailey asked, "Aileen, how''s your mom been doingtely?"


    Aileen nodded. "Much better. Ever since we got that medicine from the hospital, she''s been feeling a lot more energetic."


    Hailey felt a little more relieved. The medicine had been imported, and she had asked Oscar to prescribe it to Pam at the lowest possible cost. Hence, her family had no idea what the actual price was.


    While the medicine was effective, it wouldn''t be enough to save Pam.


    "Aileen, when you get into Central High School, you can just stay at my ce. My house is right near the school."


    What if Aileen couldn''t make it past her entrance exams. When the time came, what would happen to a girl like her? Living with Den would be inconvenient for both parties.


    Hailey wanted to take Aileen in as her own sister. Her father admired talent, and Aileen had great potential. Hailey was sure he would treasure someone like Aileen.


    Aileen smiled and replied, "Hailey, I can live in the school dorms in high school. I''m actually an independent person."


    Both Den and Aileen were tough


    and resilient. With a smirk, Hailey said, "Just focus on your studies. Your entrance exams areing up soon, and you still have school tomorrow. Hurry up and go to bed."


    "Goodnight, Hailey."


    Aileen closed her eyes and quickly drifted into a slumber.


    Meanwhile, Hailey tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Before long, she sat up, got out of bed, and


    to find Den.


    out of the room. She had


    She stood outside his door. Just as she was about to knock, she realized the door wasn''t fully closed.


    She pushed the door and strode right in. "Den!"


    Den was lying in bed staring at his phone. Hearing her voice, he was startled and quickly put his phone away.


    "What are you doing here?"


    "I came to check on you. Why are you so anxious?"


    Hailey noticed that he had tucked his phone under his pillow. Her sharp intuition told her that something was amiss.


    "Why are you hiding your phone? Are you hiding something?"


    Den hadn''t expected her toe in at all. With a frown, he said, "This is my room. Get out."


    Hailey walked up to his bed. "I''m not going. Why are you trying to chase me out? What''s on your phone? Let me see!"


    She reached out to grab it.


    Den was bbergasted. "Hailey, you''re a woman. How can you just barge into a guy''s room like his?"


    He refused to let Hailey grab the phone, but she was much faster and snatched it away from him.


    "So, you were just scrolling through some videos? What video is this?"


    She sat down on the bed and yed the video.


    Den was speechless.


    He shut his eyes and copsed back onto the bed in defeat, thinking, "Fine, she


    can do whatever she wants."


    Hailey''s bright, innocent eyes


    suddenly widened in shock as she watched. She then turned to Den in horror and asked, "Den, you''re watching this kind of video? You... you''re such a pervert!"
