Gilmore looked at ine, who was wiping off her tears, and asked, “How’s your father’s current
condition?”
“He’s still in the hospital, in aa. The hospital told us that a surgery had to be performed within
two hours or his life would be in danger Tears welled up in ine’s eyes again as she said.
She looked pitiful.
Gilmore asked, “You said his surgery will cost about 200,000 dors, right?”
ine nodded and said between sobs, “200,000 dors… How could I possibly get such an amount
of money!”
Because of that, tears ran down her cheeks, drop by drop.
Needless to say, she was pretty flustered due to her father’s critical condition.
Gilmore asked with serenity, “What is your ount number?”
ine raised her teary eyes and asked Gilmore, perplexed, “What… What did you say?”
“Just give me your ount number. I have a rich friend from whom I can borrow 200,000 dors for
you,” Gilmore exined.
ine stared at him in disbelief.
She thought, “Is the man willing to borrow 200,000 dors for my sake?”
It was simply unbelievable, almost insane.
But this was a matter of life or death.
Her father, who was on the verge of death, was waiting for her to save him.
“I’m willing to die for him. I’ll certainly borrow 200,000 dors from a total stranger for him,” she
thought.
Therefore, ine immediately knelt in front of Gilmore.
But he seemed to have expected it and stopped her right before she got down on her knees.

“I’m still alive and kicking. There’s no need to pay tribute to me yet, or you may forget about the
money, Gilmore gazed at ine and said.
Not until then did ine stand up again.
She thanked him profusely and added, with absolute gratitude, “You’re a kind man indeed. I will
never forget this.”
“Whatever! But if you don’t tell me your ount number in the next few minutes, your father will
miss his only chance to survive. You won’t be able to save him then, even if you get the money.
Gilmore reminded her resignedly.
Soon after, ine took out her phone at once and told Gilmore her ount number.
He typed it into his phone.
Soon after, he transferred 200,000 dors to her ount through the mobile banking service.
Now, 200,000 dors was no more than a drop in the bucket to him.

And the reason why he was willing to help ine wasn’t her gorgeous look but his experiences of
being poor. He knew too well the pain and despair that poor people suffered after meeting with
misfortunes
Also, the wise old men always said. “Helping people is the symbol of personality sublimation”
After all, 200,000 dors was nothing to him.
After he transferred the money, he noticed that ine had been staring at his phone.
He put it back into his pocket and said, “My friend has agreed to lend you 200,000 dors. If
everything goes well, you should be able to receive the money in a few minutes.”
Right at that moment, her cell phone began to ring.
Seeing the caller ID, ine answered the phone right away, “Mom, how’s dad’s condition now?”
“ine, I just got a message saying that 200,000 dors have been transferred to my bank ount.
Did you borrow 200,000 dors from that rich schoolmate?” A woman’s rejoicing voice came from
the other end of the line.
ine nced at Gilmore and realized that the money had been transferred to her mother’s
ount.
The bank ount she gave Gilmore was actually her mother’s.
ine replied, “Yes, mom. A rich schoolmate of mine lent us 200,000 dors. Hurry up and get dad
into surgery ASAP. I’ll see you guys tomorrow,”
“Excellent. Dear, do thank your schoolmate for saving your father’s life.” ine’s mother cried with
joy.
ine nodded and added, “I know, mom. I’ll thank him properly. You must go and talk to the doctor
now.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll stop now and go talk to the doctor. Her mother finished the call in a hurry.
It was easy to imagine that she must be hurrying to find the doctor since she’d got the money.
ine took a tissue out of the tissue box on the table and wiped off her tears gently.
However, this time, they were tears of joy.
Finally, they had the money to afford the surgery. It was indeed a lifesaver.
She looked at Gilmore and said, “Thank you so much for lending me the money.”
Gilmore corrected, “I didn’t lend you the money. My friend did
“You don’t need to lie anymore. I saw you transfer 200,000 dors to my mother’s ount on your
phone.” ine said with teasing eyes.
Gilmore noticed that ine became much more lively and delightful after the money problem got
fixed.
It had to be said that she looked quite charming with such a yful smile in her eyes.

Gilmore’s initial n was to be an anonymous donator and never expected it to be discovered by
ine this soon.
At this point, there was no need to hide it anymore, so he said, “Yes, it’s my money indeed, but you
don’t need to pay me back. Just think about it as a favor. Never mind about that.”
A trace of surprise appeared on ine’s face.
It was the first time she had seen someone willing to offer a 200,000–dor free loan.
“Is he the richest man in Eldoria? Does he have more money than God? Thus, money means
nothing to him?” she wondered.
She could not help but ask, “It’s still a lot of money. How could I not pay you back?”
Gilmore replied, smiling. “Never mind about that. Just take it as a favor from a rich and willful man.”
She was shocked, thinking. “Wow, good for you!”
However, although Gilmore said that, ine didn’t like to ept such a big favor.
In secret, she decided that she would pay back the money in any case, because this sum of money
enabled her to save her father’s life
She asked Gilmore, “You saved me, and afterward, you lent me 200,000 dors to save my father’s
life, but I don’t know your name yet. May I ask your name, Mr. Hero?”
She needed to know his name to pay him the money little by little in the future.
“Gilmore,” he replied.
“Gilmore, which university are you studying at, or where are you working now?” ine continued.
Gilmore looked back at her and asked, “Why? Is this an interview?”
ine waved her hand rapidly and said, “No, no. You seem to be a nice person, and I was
wondering if we could be friends” “Eh–hem, ine, why do I feel like you have ulterior motives?”
Gilmore asked as he stared at her evasive sight.
ine thought Gilmore had seen through her intentions. A slight flush appeared on her cheeks, but
she still denied, “No, I… I just want to be your friend.”
Gilmore nodded, “I see. I get it now. You have a crush on me, but you’re too embarrassed to ask
me out. Am I right?”
ine was speechless.
“Why is he thinking like this?” she talked to herself.
quickly figured out that it must be her hesitation and ambiguity that caused such a
misunderstanding.

But sh
She was about to exin herself, but he was already sitting next to her and added, “Alright, what if
we watch the meteor shower tonight as our first date?”
ine was speechless again and thought that there seemed to be no way out now.
