Chapter 1102
Garett stopped Sigrid from leaving and asked, “How much do you need aspensation?”
Sigrid had initially wanted to say that she was doing it as a charity and didn’t need any payment.
However, she was concerned that Garett might not ept that answer, so she changed her response,
“If it’s one hundred thousand dors, can you afford it?”
The typical cost of a rehabilitation therapist would be a few thousand dors at most. Sigrid deliberately
raised thepensation amount to make Garett feel at ease epting her help.
Garett didn’t quite grasp Sigrid’s intention, but he found the figure of one hundred thousand dors
rather jarring, piercing his heart and leaving him pale “I can afford it, he said Now, he could indeed
afford that amount
With his agreement, Sigrid turned and left directly
Garett stayed in ce for a moment before wheeling himself back to the living room. Perhaps he
wanted to say goodbye to Eleanor as she hadn’t left yet
“Eleanor, we’ll be heading back now. We’lle to see you another day, Eleanor informed him.
Garett nodded, a faint, elegant smile forming on his lips. “Eleanor, Ill be going abroad for surgery soon,
and I won’t be in B City for the next few months. You don’t have toe to see me specifically
Colter, who was standing nearby, looked at Garett thoughtfully. He knew that surgery could be done
here, but Garett chose to go abroad. What was the meaning behind this decision?
“Did the doctor advise you to have the surgery abroad?” Colter inquired.
“Yes, Garett replied.
Garett ced his hand on his leg his fingers slightly closing into a fist.
“The medical equipment here is not as advanced, the doctor suggested I have the surgery abroad.”
After saying that, he nced at Sigrid.
“When I return from the surgery, Ms. Laurence will help me with my rehabilitation”
It seemed as if Sigrid had seen through Garett’s thoughts, and she nodded at Eleanor.
“Mr. Clowers and I have agreed that I’ll assist in his rehabilitation when he returns from his surgery.”
Eleanor’s gaze lingered on Garett’s legs for a moment before moving away
“Which country are you having the surgery in? Hailey and I cane visit”
Garett’s eyes expressed aplex emotion.
“It’s just a minor surgery, you don’t need to make a special trip. And with you and Hailey here, I’d worry
about your safety. Let’s wait until I’m back, then we can have a siblings reunion”
Using the word “siblings,” he was clearly drawing a parallel to their childhood days. They were like
siblings back then, relying on each other and living happily together. As they grew older, they each
went their separate ways, maintaining a certain distance but still caring for one another. asionally,
they would meet, as is typical among siblings.
Garett’s intention was to subtly make Eleanor feel a tad guilty for keeping her distance. Perhaps
sensing her predicament, he declined her visit.
Seeing Eleanor looking weighed down, Garett spoke again, trying tofort her, “Don’t worry, with
Colter here, I’ll be fine.”
Garett turned to look at Colter, who reluctantly took over the conversation. “Ms. Shultz, you can rest
assured”
Eleanor closed her eyes for a moment, hesitating for a few seconds before slowly opening them. Her
clear eyes looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair, a gentle smile gradually appearing on her face.
“Alright, when you recover from the surgery, I’ll give you a big gift”
She had once said that when he could stand up, she would give him a big gift.
“For your gift, I’ll work hard to recover.”
Garett nodded with a smile, then waved goodbye to her.
“Goodbye, Eleanor‘
“Goodbye, Garett”
Watching Eleanor cross the threshold and leave the vi, the sadness in Garett’s eyes burst forth,
blurring his vision.
As his vision blurred, he couldn’t even make out her figure, but he dared not blink, fearful that tears
would escape…..

If they hadn’t met in the first ce, would there be such heartache?
