Chapter 1167 Was Asked to Help Her Postgraduate Admission
In the past, Huston rarely met Cathy throughout the year. Her unexpected visit this time surprised him. Taking the
opportunity, he sat beside Evelyn and held her slightly cold hand in his palm due to nervousness. "We are doing
well, and if we go back, you will also worry about us. We are afraid you will get anxious."
"Don't talk like that. I'm your mother. How could I not worry about you?" Cathy sighed while speaking. "You should
calculate the time. It's really time for you to go back and visit me and the family."
Evelyn thought that Huston would be touched by her words, but to her surprise, he just nodded calmly and said,
"Got it."
Due to Cathy's sudden visit, Sadie increased the lunch preparation from two servings to four, adding roasted
chicken and grilled salmon.
Evelyn sat in the living room cautiously and found an excuse to go to the kitchen to help Sadie prepare food.
Seeing her leave, Cathy felt relieved. After all, she and Evelyn didn't have much interaction, and she was a bit

Huston looked at the two people sitting on the opposite sofa, his expression unchanged throughout. "Mom, what did
you come for today?"
Having studied abroad since he was young, and later with Cathy's remarriage and the birth of Renee, their mother-
son relationship was not particularly close, but they were still family, and there was some family affection between
them.
Cathy smiled awkwardly for a moment, "Don't say that. I came here to care about you two. Can't I come when I
have nothing else to do?"
Huston nodded. "That's not what I meant. It's good that you're fine."
Seemingly unprepared for his response, Cathy choked on the latter part of her sentence. She hadn't figured out
how to say it, but Renee, sitting beside her, couldn't sit still any longer. "Mom, just tell Huston. It's been so many
days. If we keep delaying, it might be too late..."
Though Renee deliberately lowered her voice, Huston heard every word clearly.
His gaze fell on Cathy, who looked very uncomfortable. After all, she was his biological mother, and he didn't want
to put her in a difficult position. So, he proactively asked Renee, "What is it? Can't you just tell me directly?"
Renee instantly swallowed all her words. She had always been a bit afraid of her brother. In her impression, though
he would give her many things and provide money for the family, he always carried an intimidating aura. This made
her fearful even when talking to him, especially now.
Huston saw her hesitant expression and furrowed his brows slightly. "If you don't want to say, I won't ask again."
Renee knew this was her last chance, so she gritted her teeth and finally spoke up, "Huston, our school is currently
accepting applications for graduate students, and I applied too. However, the chances of direct admission are slim,
but I really want to get accepted..."
When she said this, she did not continue. Huston immediately understood what she meant.
"Do you want me to help you apply for the graduate program?"
Renee nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Cathy quickly interjected, trying to smooth things over, "Huston, you know your sister's academic performance, and

is so important. I can't just sit back and watch her go to an inferior school."
Hearing this, Huston remained expressionless and asked Renee, "After being admitted to the graduate program,
there will be an exam later. Aren't you planning to take the exam?"
At the mention of the exam, Renee became even more nervous, barely audible, "Huston, you know my grades.
How could I possibly score well enough to get into a good school..."
Huston's already furrowed brows tightened even more, and his gaze swept over the two of them. He spoke sternly
to Renee, "Take the exams if they are required. Holding onto the idea of taking shortcuts and relying on
connections, you will definitely not excel in your studies."
Hearing his words, Renee was disappointed, but she didn't dare to beg him directly. She could only beg Cathy,
"Mom..."
Cathy tightly held her daughter's hand, feeling a bit puzzled by Huston's words, but she could only try to persuade
him gently, "Huston, just help your sister this once. She'll study hard in the future. After all, you're her older brother.
You can't just watch her miss this opportunity, can you?"
