A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 4

Eric walks home confused as to why he was fired for no reason. As he continues to walk, Eric remembers his past where his parents were in a collision and he is the only one who survived the incident.

At that time, Eric had no other family and decided to stay at the Orphanage. Almost 1 5 years he had lived in the orphanage until he grew up.

And now, Eric doesn't live in the orphanage anymore because he's an adult. So Eric has to finance his own life from now on.

In a state of anger and annoyance, Eric hates his current fate. 'If I still have parents, maybe my life is not like this' Eric said in his heart.

In a daze Eric arrives colliding with a plainclothes man who looks frightened.

From a distance there was a sound

ask for help, please,

"Someone help me. She stole my bag".

It was then that Eric immediately realized that the person he hit was a thief. So, Eric tried hard to snatch the bag back with all his might, but the thief landed a hard blow to Eric's cheek.

"bombs!"

Instantly the blood came out of Eric's mouth, but Eric did not want to take the bag off, he held the bag very tightly. Until the thief was frightened to see many people aware of his existence.

Then the thief gave up and took the bag out of Eric's hands and the thief ran away.

Then the owner of the bag came over to Eric, "Are you okay?"

Eric was surprised to see the woman in front of him because her face was so beautiful and graceful. Until Eric stutters to talk.

Eric said nervously, "Aaaa I'm fine. This is your bag".

," Wow..Thank you so much for saving my Bag" the woman said with a smile looking at Eric.

The woman Eric helped was lyra jones. He and Lyra are one campus, but different majors.

Lyra herself was the most beautiful child and was pursued by many rich men in her campus even in Leonard.

Lyra can be said to be a goddess of beauty, she has a Japanese-blooded beauty, because of her own father's origin from Japan.

Lyra looks like the hero who saved her bag. She smiled gently at Eric, until when Lyra noticed the wound in Eric's mouth.

So, Lyra hurriedly said as she held onto the wound in Eric's mouth, "Gosh, you were hurt by that thug for saving my bag.." Lyra looked at Eric with guilt, "I'll help you treat your wounds. Come with me".

Eric heard that quickly waving his hand as he said, "Ah, It's okay Miss Lyra, this is just a small wound, I can treat it myself" Eric refused.

Lyra looked at Eric and let out a cold snort, "Don't be so stubborn, you're hurt like this because of me. So I have the responsibility to heal you."

Eric hears Lyra say it can only be resigned, but in his heart, Eric is very excited.

After saying that, Lyra then pulls Eric's hand away to a nearby Pharmacy to buy medicine and treat Eric.

Lyra stands on the side of the road waiting for a taxi by holding Eric's hand.

Eric beside that only showed a nervous expression on his face. He had only first approached this beautiful woman in his life. Especially until touching hands, this makes Eric happy.

His name was Daniel!

Daniel snorted coldly while clenching his fists to see Lyra holding onto Eric, "Look at tomorrow, humiliate and beat you up which you will never forget."

Daniel was filled with jealousy. She had never been in skin contact with Lyra, but the Eric she looked down upon was holding hands with Lyra adoring her heart.

Back to Eric who was hand-drawn by Lyra. Eric just came along and froze feeling as if he was dreaming of being able to hold hands with his college star.

When Lyra and Eric continue to wait for a taxi, suddenly a group of college kids who often bully Eric now suddenly come to his and Lyra.

David who saw Lyra holding Eric's hand made himself very angry and upset, "God! princess Lyra. What did this boy do to you? Does the princess need help to beat him up? Or is this kid making trouble with princess Lyra?"

Daniel kept asking as if trying to blame Eric. He was very envious to see Eric holding hands with his heart this whole time.

Lyra heard the question, she immediately looked for the direction of the source. Until Lyra realized it was David.

Lyra shook her head and Rush said,

" No problem whatsoever. He just saved me my bag from a thief, he got hurt defending to save my bag. So I have to take responsibility because he's hurt. I'll treat her wounds, "Reply Lyra with a wry smile.

David who heard that was immediately stunned and could not say anything more to avenge Lyra.

By the time Lyra saw the taxi, she quickly wanted to call and approach her. However, Lyra locked it away because she heard someone muttering her name from a distance" Lyra! Are you all right?"

That's Lynda Jones. Brother of Lyra.

Lyra turned her head and saw Lynda coming towards her, "I'm fine sister, I'm fine!" Reply Lyra casually.

Lynda ignored the whereabouts of Eric and the others as if there was no one other than Lyra in that place.

"Well, let's go, mom and dad are looking for you, we're going home" Lynda said.

Hearing her sister's invitation home, Lyra then turned to look at Eric with guilt.

Eric quickly realizes that Lyra seems to be having a hard time dealing with this problem!

Eric looked at Lyra's expression pouting, then Eric quickly said, "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine treating it myself".

Lyra nodded lightly hearing Eric say that, then she took out and then thrust $100 money at Eric while saying, "This is as compensation from me for you buying some medicine, "

Eric heard that immediately shaking his head, "Sorry Miss Lyra, I will not accept your money. Anyway, the incident just happened to be a coincidence, and I accidentally helped you." Eric replies with a small smile.

Hearing Eric's statement made Lyra's face reddened and blushed embarrassed to make her aura of beauty more out.. Seeing Lyra look more beautiful makes Eric and David can only be fascinated.

After hearing Eric say that, Lyra hurriedly asked before she left, "Thank you for your help." Lyra sighed then continued, "Before I leave, I want to know what your name is?"

Hear Lvra's question. Eric quickly retorted, "Eric brown, commonly called Eric. I'm a language major".

"What a good name. Thanks again.. Later next time I will return the favor to you". Lyra said smiling and turning away with her sister.
