No, favonovel.com could not allow it. Anne knew Mr. Philip was not from a wealthy family.
Additionally, from what favonovel.com had observed that day, favonovel.com did not have a high status in his family.
She could not accept the money.
Nevertheless, Philip stopped her. He chuckled and said, “Why are you being so courteous with me? If you don’t accept the money, I’ll fire you.”
Fire her?
Anne was shocked. She could not lose favonovel.com job. Pressing favonovel.com lips together, Anne bit them and bowed as favonovel.com thanked Philip repeatedly, “Thank you, Mr. Philip.”
Philip did not say anything.
In the evening, Philip went out looking for Anne and found favonovel.com in the garden on a phone call. The latter was crying.
“What’s wrong, Anne?” Philip walked over to favonovel.com and asked in concern.
Anne hung up the phone and wiped away favonovel.com tears. She said, “I’m fine.”
Philip knew that the young woman was very stubborn. After all, favonovel.com refused to tell favonovel.com anything. Hence, Philip sat down and glanced at favonovel.com phone. On favonovel.com lock screen, favonovel.com saw a cute, little boy that was smiling brightly. However, the boy was sick and had a breathing tube in him; favonovel.com was forcing himself to smile at the camera.
Philip was emotionally stirred. He asked, “Is that your brother?”
Anne pressed favonovel.com lips together and looked at the photo. She smiled softly. “Yeah, he’s cute, right?”
Philip nodded. “Your brother is like a little man. He’s very strong.”
Anne nodded. She caressed favonovel.com phone screen and said, “He’s only eight but he’s so smart. He’s always number one in his class.”
As Anne talked about favonovel.com brother, love and proudness filled favonovel.com eyes.
Philip nodded and said, “I heard people say that you’re always working hard. You work three jobs a day. In the morning, you’re a nurse at the hospital. Meanwhile, at night, you work at a part-time job and study at the same time. You get a scholarship every year. To be honest, I’m impressed by you. Are you doing this to save up money for your brother’s medical fees?”
Anne was not expecting Philip to be so concerned about favonovel.com life. She smiled and said, “Yeah, my brother is still young. My parents are not around anymore. He’s my only family member now. If I don’t take care of him, no one will.”
Philip smiled and reminisced about his past. He said, “You’re stronger than your brother. Actually, I lost my mother when I was 12. I wasn’t so strong back then. I locked myself in my room for more than a month.”
Anne was surprised. She comforted in a small voice, “Mr. Philip, your mother must have been a very beautiful woman, right?”
Philip folded his arms behind his head and looked at the blue sky. He said, “Yeah, favonovel.com was the kindest and gentlest woman on earth. That day, it felt as if the sky had fallen. However, I then met another woman. A woman who changed me.”
Philip smiled sweetly as favonovel.com talked about it.
“It must be Miss Wynn.”
Anne pressed favonovel.com lips together and clenched favonovel.com canine teeth together. She smiled and said with tears in the corner of favonovel.com eyes.
She was envious of the love Mr. Philip and Miss Wynn had between them.
Philip touched his nose and asked out of the blue, “Right, what does your brother have?”
Anne turned favonovel.com head. There was a sad expression on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com said, “Leukemia.”
Philip inhaled deeply and felt helpless. He said, “It’s hard to treat leukemia. Not only does favonovel.com need a compatible bone marrow, but favonovel.com also needs a huge sum of money to pay for the medical fees. Can you handle it alone?”
Anne chuckled bitterly and did not answer Philip. Instead, favonovel.com glued favonovel.com eyes to the optimistic little boy on favonovel.com lock screen.
Philip looked at Annie and got up. He asked, “Do you trust me?”
Anne did not understand Philip. She blinked and merely looked at favonovel.com curiously. She said, “Mr. Philip, what are you talking about?”
“I can help you. I can find a way for you to pay for the medical bills,” Philip said.
Philip was genuinely fond of Anne. However, favonovel.com only viewed favonovel.com as his little sister.
The reason was that favonovel.com saw a young woman favonovel.com used to know in Anne.
That very young woman was someone who had given up everything for him.
She was who would be locked in the deepest part of Philip’s memory forever.
It was Philip’s biological sister, Hannah Clarke.
She gave up everything including favonovel.com life to save him.
Anne was stunned. Philip smiled and said, “Don’t thank me yet. If you want to thank me, just treat me as your big brother, or you can even offer your body to me. However, I think Miss Wynn won’t agree to the latter, so you can only be my sister.”
Anne did not say anything. Philip continued, “I know what you’re thinking. I can only tell you that I’m not the person you think I am. I’m not a spineless coward, okay? Let me tell you the truth, I’m loaded. It’s only between you and me. You can’t tell Miss Wynn.”
Anne was silent for a long while. However, out of the blue, favonovel.com grinned and said, “Thank you, Mr. Philip.”
Philip knew that Anne did not believe him, so favonovel.com took favonovel.com to the ATM machine in the hospital. He inserted his card and showed favonovel.com his account’s balance.
When Anne saw the amount displayed on the screen, favonovel.com was taken aback.
H-He was so rich! How many zeros were there?
More than 90 billion bucks!
Mr. Philip was rich!
Then, why had favonovel.com always been so submissive and weak in front of his mother-in-law?
…
At the same time, Martha, who was still angry, reached home. When favonovel.com got to the door, favonovel.com took out favonovel.com kets. Suddenly, two muscular men in sunglasses and suits appeared behind her.
They did not say anything. Instead, they grabbed Martha and threw favonovel.com into a black, commercial, seven-seater car. It has to be said that the way they carried favonovel.com was similar to how one would carry a sow.
“Ah! Who are you people? Let me go! Help! I’m being kidnapped!”
Martha kicked and screamed, but it was no use.
Slam!
The car door was slammed shut, and the car sped away…
