Chapter 1210


    "Impossible!" Sonia''s mother eximed in a hoarse voice. "My husband and I don''t have this


    disease, neither does my daughter. How could the child have it?"


    The doctor frowned slightly and said, "It''s also possible that the child''s father carries the genes. The


    likelihood of having the disease is not high, so even if she carried genes, as long as it is wasn''t


    induced by external factors, she would generally not fall ill."


    Instantly, Sonia''s mother quieted down. I chatted with the doctor and got a better idea of the


    situation.


    Upon walking out of the doctor''s office, Sonia''s mother suddenly knelt in front of me and broke into


    tears. "Mrs. Roberts, I beg you to save my granddaughter. Sonia is already gone. Rita is our only


    hope. She''s only four years old and hasn''t seen the outside world yet. She is already pitiful, to have


    no father and another that is always busy making money. But we don''t even have the money to


    send her to kindergarten. She''s innocent but has to face such a cruel reality. Mrs. Roberts, I beg


    you, please save her. I will do anything you want. I''m begging you."


    Helplessness swamped me at her sudden request. I reached out my hand to help her up but she


    resisted my efforts. She had no intention of getting up at all. There were people going back and


    forth on the corridor and we were gathering stares. I knelt down on the ground so that we were on


    the same level and reassured her saying, "I''m very sorry for this. I''ll do everything I can to help you.


    Please stand up."


    She looked at me with tear-streaked distress. She begged me again, "Please. My husband and I


    are retired. With Sonia gone, our family no longer has a source of ie. That''s why we rushed to


    the Roberts Group to demandpensation. We have no choice, we still have to live!"


    I nodded, my heart aching. With Sonia''s daughter so ill, I was afraid that the lives of the couple


    would be extremely hard in the future.


    After paying all the surgical and medical expenses for Rita, Hendrix called to ask when I would be


    back.


    After a long and eventful day, I was utterly exhausted. All I wanted was to see him and quietly rest in


    his arms for a while.


    I replied to his text message and drove out of the hospital. I headed home since Hendrix mentioned


    that he was already at home.


    In the vi.


    There was an inconspicuous ck Maybach parked in the yard. After parking my car next to it, I


    walked into the living room and saw Hendrix on the sofa, casually reading.


    Hearing me walk in, he greeted me with a smile. "You''re back."

    I nodded, walked to him, and sat down. Then I wrapped my arms around him and sighed. "Have


    you dealt with all thepany''s affairs? Do you want to go back to the room and rest for a while?"


    He put his arm around me too, hugging me tightly. "You helped me to deal with it so well. I just want


    to hold you and apany you."


    I leaned on his shoulder and sighed again. "Hendrix, have the policee to a conclusion on


    Sonia''s death?"


    He pursed his lips slightly and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    After thinking for a while, I said, "Sonia''s daughter was diagnosed with leukemia today. Her


    condition is serious. I know we should face this rationally, after all, everyone will eventually die of


    illness or old age. But now that I''m faced with it, if I choose to remain indifferent to it, I will definitely


    feel guilty for life."


    He hummed his agreement and looked at me calmly, "So what are you nning to do?"
