Chapter 452 The Brightest Light Bulb
"Both my wife and Abella are exceptional," Mr. Bourbon said with a smile.
Their voices reached Lola's ears, making her feel even more dejected.
Winston handed Lola a cup of tea and whispered, "One day, when you find the right person, their family will treat you just like this."
Lola looked up in surprise, not expecting Winston to understand her thoughts. She felt a bit embarrassed.
"Winston, am I really that inadequate?"
"Everyone has different strengths, it's just a matter of how and when they are displayed." Winston seemed to understand what was on her mind. He stood beside her and said with a smile, "Abella is where she is today because she has put in an unimaginable amount of hard work behind the scenes while you were shopping, getting spa treatments, and attending parties."
Lola seemed inspired and looked up at Winston.
"If you feel you're not outstanding enough, it's never too late to work hard. When you showcase your talents in the future, there will be people who admire and look up to you."
"Winston," Lola said after hearing his words, suddenly realizing that she had been wallowing in self-pity without considering change.
"Can I become as successful as her if I work hard?" Lola asked, looking at the girl who was the center of attention in the room.
"I can't guarantee what level of achievement you will reach or if you will surpass Abella, but at the very least, you will surpass your current self," Winston replied.
"Isn't becoming a better version of yourself in the future also a form of progress?" Winston stood shoulder to shoulder with her. "Lola, do you know that you have a greater chance of success than others because of your current status? It allows you to easily access the best resources. For example, if you want to learn the piano, your parents will surely hire the best teacher and buy you the best piano. You can wholeheartedly focus on your studies."
"But in many places in the world, there are people who want to learn the piano but can only watch from afar, without even having an ordinary piano."
"So, with the resources and talent you have now, you should shine even brighter for everyone to see. I believe you will definitely succeed."
After listening to Winston's words, Lola nodded. "Winston, from now on, I won't easily give up on myself."
"In fact, you are already much more outstanding than many people your age." Winston smiled at her. "Keep it up, it's not too late for you to work hard."
In the hospital room, Abella talked about her childhood piano practice. She laughed as she spoke, but it evoked a sense of melancholy in others, as they felt her training method was too harsh.
"I knew this child must have gone through a lot of hardships to achieve what she has today."
"Yes, no one can succeed without hard work. The way she practiced the piano was too cruel for a child."
"Abella persevered, and that's how she became Anika Moses."
When Lola entered the room, she didn't know what they had been talking about, but upon hearing these conversations, she instinctively looked at the shining girl in the crowd.
There are no shortcuts to success, so Abella must have also put in a lot of hard work to reach her current position.
With that in mind, Lola secretly made up her mind to change herself!
After spending time with her grandparents, Abella and Mrs. Bourbon left the hospital room together.
They arrived at the garage.
Mrs. Bourbon said reluctantly, "Abella, let's make plans to meet again another day."
Today, Mrs. Bourbon's mood was even better than before, as she finally met her beloved daughter-in-law.
"Alright."
"I'll message you when you get home. Take care on the way, and feel free to call me if you need anything."
Abella nodded. "Goodbye, Uncle and Aunt."
"Farewell, my dear."
Mrs. Bourbon patted her head and got into the car.
Lola couldn't help but admire the scene, and then she got into Winston's car and returned to Long Island Manor with Abella.
In the evening, Winston looked at his phone mysteriously and said with a smile, "Abella, Lola and her friends have gone out. How about I take you to the movies? I heard that this movie is really good, and I bought two tickets."
"I already have plans."
"What? You have plans? With whom? A guy or a girl? Are you going now? What are you going to do?"
As Winston spoke, he heard a report from the servant, "Ms. Abella, Philippe is already waiting outside for you."
"Alright." Abella glanced at Winston. "Winston, I'll go first."
"Wait for me."
Seeing Abella's departing figure, Winston felt a bit uneasy and hurried to catch up.
From a distance, he saw a man touching Abella's head and seemingly whispering sweet words to her.
"Let go of Abella! Have you washed your hands? Abella just washed her hair tonight!"
As Philippe looked up, Winston pulled the girl behind him.
"Are you always like this with girls, Philippe? Handsy?"
"Winston, you're back?" Philippe didn't seem to mind. "Abella is my fiancée."
He was just patting her head, nothing excessive.
"What? Who is your fiancée? Whether she's a fiancée or not, it's still in the early stages, and there haven't been any substantial developments yet!"
As Winston spoke, he turned to Abella and asked in a low voice, "Did you go out with him? Are you really officially dating? Is he reliable?"
Although he had heard that the two were in love, Winston, as a brother, hadn't really considered Philippe's character.
Whether Abella's lifelong happiness was worth entrusting to someone like him depended on his specific actions!
"Winston, don't worry, he's absolutely reliable."
Winston looked at the man in front of him, whose smile was as warm as jade, but he couldn't help feeling that something was off.
"Where are you going?" Winston turned back and asked the girl behind him.
"To watch a movie."
Winston suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. "What movie? I want to go too!"
Philippe was speechless, and so was Abella.
"Abella, you're still young and can't judge people clearly," Winston whispered to the girl in front of him. "Take me with you, and I'll watch out for you."
"If he really treats you well, I'll wholeheartedly agree!"
What he feared was that this man was just after a fleeting romance or had ulterior motives.
He couldn't let Abella risk her lifelong happiness for a short-lived relationship.
In the end, unable to resist Winston's persuasion, Abella could only bring him along.
In the car, Winston, sitting in the back seat, noticed Philippe occasionally glancing at the passenger seat and couldn't help but say, "Focus on driving."
"Look at the road, not at Abella!"
"Winston, there's nothing more beautiful than Abella on the road." Philippe looked at the girl in the passenger seat again and, taking advantage of a red light, he took out a bottle of lemonade, unscrewed the cap, and handed it over.
It seemed like a gesture he had made countless times before.
But Winston quickly snatched it. "Abella can't drink cold beverages."
"This one is at room temperature."
"Even at room temperature, she can't have it!" After saying that, Winston opened his own messenger bag, took out a lollipop, and handed it over. "Here, Abella, have this instead."
The little girl was about to eat the lollipop!
