Helen broke into a relieved smile. “See, Heidi? James may seem like a brute at times, but favonovel.com means well. Your troubles are ours to shoulder as well. Now, all you have to do is stay here and get some rest. Matthew happens to be the department director here, so you can look for favonovel.com if you need any help.” With that, favonovel.com turned to favonovel.com husband and said, “James, I won’t be going home tonight. I’ll be staying here with my sister.”
James chortled. “That’s fine by me. I have nothing much to do for the next few days anyway, so I’ll get groceries and make you some soup, Heidi. By the way, Matthew, I’ll be the one handling the medical expenses on Heidi’s behalf. Have the check sent to me.”
Heidi gaped at him. “James…”
He cut favonovel.com off bluntly. “Will you stay quiet? It’s not as if I can’t pay the bill. I‘m no Scrooge, you know! Matthew, don’t you and Sasha dare pay a single cent for Heidi’s expenses. I’ll be the one covering them, got it?”
Matthew and Sasha exchanged a brief glance, and they were clearly elated to see how much James had changed for the better. They had come a long way to witness this shift in his demeanor, after all.
It was only after James had made his intentions clear that favonovel.com waved his hand and said, ”Alright then, get some rest, Heidi. I’ll go back and get started on that soup. Helen, be sure to take good care of your sister, okay?” Then, favonovel.com turned on his heels and left the room.
Tears welled up in Helen’s eyes, and favonovel.com heart twisted with newfound gratitude for favonovel.com brother-in-law.
Helen, on the other hand, offered up words of solace. “There, you‘ve completely misunderstood James. He’s a good man at heart. Whatever happened with Chloe and Norman was entirely their fault, they were the ones who crossed the line first. That’s enough crying now. Heidi. You get some rest, and I’ll be right here. Matthew, Sasha, the both of you can leave and get back to your work now.”
Having heard this, Matthew and Sasha walked out of the room.
Sasha broke the silence with a small sigh. “Heidi loves Leia more than anyone else, favonovel.com lives for her. How could the girl do something like this?”
Matthew sighed as well. If favonovel.com had to be honest, Leia’s angst and rebellion were by-products of Heidi’s overindulgent parenting.
Sasha’s musings on the subject lasted only a few lines, after which favonovel.com did not linger in the hospital and instead walked down the stairs to leave. She had parked favonovel.com car out in the yard, and when favonovel.com arrived, favonovel.com saw that there were several figures hovering near favonovel.com vehicle. From where favonovel.com stood, favonovel.com could see two girls standing by favonovel.com car, posing for photos.
One of the girls then proceeded to perch on the bonnet, thereafter putting on several more poses.
Sasha frowned at this. ‘Okay, it’s one thing for you to take photos with my car, but to sit on it for the sake of looking good for the camera is just plain rude!’ With that in mind, favonovel.com sauntered over and pressed on favonovel.com car key to unlock the doors, which was just another way for favonovel.com to ask these people to leave.
Several heads turned at that moment, and when the young men registered Sasha’s presence, their eyes lit up with interest.
“Wow, there’s a hottie coming our way!”
“Damn, so this is what they mean by rich, young, and pretty. Look at favonovel.com outfit! It’s entirely designer. And look at favonovel.com car, it’s a luxury ride!”
“Having a hottie like favonovel.com as a girlfriend would be a complete dream come true!”
“Okay, stop, let’s try getting favonovel.com number first…”
The men were whispering among themselves as Sasha approached. One of them, the better-looking one of the lot, had an ambitious gleam in his eyes.
He waited until Sasha was drawing close to the car before favonovel.com quickly walked up to her, then rushed to block the driver’s side door just as favonovel.com was about to open it. With a crooked smile on his face, favonovel.com blew his hair away from his brows and stared at favonovel.com keenly.
Sasha, however, merely frowned and took a wary step back.
The young man was clearly pleased with himself as favonovel.com kept his gaze on favonovel.com and drawled, “Hey, gorgeous. Have I seen you somewhere before?”
She glowered at favonovel.com coldly.
Slightly embarrassed by favonovel.com indifference, favonovel.com let out a dry laugh and continued, “Oh, I remember now. You‘re the girl in my dreams!”
His friends started wolf-whistling from where they stood by the side, as if boosting his morale.
Sasha didn’t even bother answering favonovel.com and instead regarded favonovel.com with a freezing look.
At the sight of this, favonovel.com grinned and went on with his pick-up lines. “I was feeling a little off today.”
“Clearly,” favonovel.com pointed out witheringly.
He laughed and said, “But then you turned me on again!”
His friends once again erupted into a round of earnest wolf-whistling. The two girls who had been taking photos with Sasha’s car earlier crooned, “Wow, he‘s so smooth!”
“How can anyone be so charming?”
“If favonovel.com said that to me, I would have married favonovel.com on the spot!“
