Chapter 226: Accompanied By Five Men

Hunter sneered from his throat. “She is quite capable. Having five men accompany her, does she still need me to visit her?”

Mr. Hopkins smiled awkwardly and tried to explain the situation on behalf of Claire. “They should all be Miss Claire’s cla.s.smates and would have come to visit her. That’s normal between cla.s.smates.”

Hunter said no more.

He quickly walked out of the hospital, got in the car, and slammed the car door.

Late at night.

Derek lay fast asleep on the sofa.

Joe and the others were sleepy too and kept yawning.

“Okay.” Claire tapped her fingers on the computer. “The four of you play a round, and I will watch it.”

All of them instantly lost their drowsiness and devoted themselves to the game.

After playing a round, they immediately looked at Claire.

But Claire frowned and seemed unsatisfied. “Still not fast enough, especially the response.”

The four of them bowed their heads, their confidence shattered.

Claire glanced at her watch. “It’s getting late. Go home and come back tomorrow after school.”

Joe and the others put away their laptops and shouted in unison. “Goodbye, Big Sister Claire.”

Then, carrying Derek who was still asleep, they walked out of the ward.

Claire rubbed the center of her eyebrows. Her body ached a little, but she had endured it the whole day.

On the other side, Phoebe had just finished taking a bath when Becky called her.

“You know what, my brother is going to have a game contest against Joe. Will Claire join him?”

It happened so suddenly that Phoebe was a little surprised. “She was hospitalized in a car accident two days ago. I don’t know about this.”

But Becky immediately made a guess. “In the past few days, Joe and the others have hurried away right after school and didn’t take the two of us along. Have they been going to the hospital to play games with Claire?”

“Maybe…” Phoebe said perfunctorily, feeling a bit complicated.

Was Claire really going to play against professional players? Who gave her the courage?

The next day, after school.

Phoebe and Becky followed Joe and the others all the way to the hospital and saw them walk into the ward with their own eyes.

In the ward, Claire was tapping on the keyboard.

The boys gathered around her.

Seeing this scene, Becky’s eyes reddened instantly. As soon as she walked out of the hospital, she couldn’t help crying.

“They just abandoned the two of us! Claire is too shameless. She can’t make friends, so she just s.n.a.t.c.hes someone else’s friends!”

Phoebe was jealous too, but she had to comfort Becky. “Don’t cry. They are hanging out with Claire just for the contest, thinking that Claire can help them win. They will walk away from Claire when they lose to your brother.”

Becky gnashed her teeth. “I must have my brother crush them in the contest!”

In the ward.

The four of them were still practicing APM.

There were still six days to go before the game contest.

Claire said, “The computers used by professional players are best equipped. We can’t just practice skills. We also need good equipment.”

“No problem.” Joe raised his hand. “Where to buy it? Which is the best? I’ll pay for it. Let’s buy the best!”

“We don’t need the best. A medium-level one will do. The most important thing is that it should suit us.” Claire stared at the computer screen. “I’m selecting the items now and I will send you the link when I choose them.”

In the evening, Claire sent the link of the equipment to Joe.

Joe placed the order immediately and it was sent to the hospital the next day.

Claire helped them all set up the equipment.

“Try it.”

The four of them touched the brand new keyboard and mouse and their eyes lit up. After playing a round, they couldn’t help but exclaim. “Wow, it feels so good. I feel that I am not far from becoming a profession
