Chapter 489


    Sophia had once bought the circr pendant as a toy in that shop.


    The owner, a middle-aged woman was wiping away her tears as she turned the sign on the door from


    ‘Open’ to ‘Closed’.


    This sorrowful scene struck a chord in Thssa’s heart. She approached the woman and asked,


    “Ma’am, it’s barely eleven in the morning, and that’s prime business hours. Why are you closing up so


    early?”


    The shopkeeper, startled by the sudden interaction, awkwardly wiped her tears away and replied,


    “There’s been a family emergency, and we can’t manage the store


    anymore.”


    Upon saying this, the shopkeeper couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.


    Thssa and her friend Hertha exchanged a nce before asking, “What kind of emergency could


    lead to a close-up?”


    Running a business was not an easy feat, and no one would willingly give up unless it was absolutely


    necessary.


    “My son has a brain tumor. The surgery and treatment cost more than one million three hundred


    thousand dors. We’ve used all our savings and even put the shop up for sale, but we’re still short of


    twenty thousand. We honestly don’t know what to do…” The shopkeeper broke down and started


    sobbing uncontrobly.


    Hearing this, Thssa’s heart sank. As a mother herself, she could understand the woman’s grief and


    desperation.


    Thssa pulled out her phone and said, “Ma’am, please open up your PayPal. I’m going to send you


    twenty thousand dors so your son can get his treatment.”


    The shopkeeper was taken aback. She looked at Thssa incredulously, as if she was dreaming.


    Hertha wasn’t surprised, though. This was the Thssa she knew.


    “But… I can’t just ept your money just like that… The shopkeeper seemed unsure.


    Thssa quickly reassured her, “Actually, half of this money is technically yours. Remember the


    circr pendant you sold me? We thought it was just a toy but it turned out to be an antique which I


    sold for twenty thousand dors. So, this money should be yours.”


    “But we don’t know how to tell real antiques. And if you hadn’t bought it away, we would have just


    treated it like a toy, broken it, or swept it into the trash can and thrown it away. You’re the one with the


    discerning eye. Besides, you paid for that toy, so you deserve whatever you sell it for.”


    The shopkeeper, a kind and sensible woman, understood how the business worked. Although thatdy


    bought the pendant from her, thatdy just got a knack for pocketing the difference. The price


    difference was not something she deserved. Thedy was only trying to ease her conscience.


    “Please, take the money and get your son the treatment he needs. Once he’s recovered and you’re


    back in business, you can pay me back.” Thssa suggested.


    The shopkeeper nodded gratefully, her eyes brimming with tears as she opened up her PayPal.


    Thssa transferred the money. Upon hearing the notification, the shopkeeper grasped Thssa’s


    hand, sobbing, “Thank you. I promise I will do everything I can to save my child and repay your


    kindness. You’re a kind person, and good things wille to you.”


    Just as Thssa wasforting the shopkeeper, a chill swept through the air, making her hair stand


    on end.
