Chapter 1288
Liz could have lived a morous life. It was hard to tell if she was intentionally letting herself look so wretched and bad.
"I understand what you mean," Liz said with a calm countenance. "But if I do that, then he might never fall in love with me and keep chasing after you
for the rest of his life."
After a pause, she chuckled bitterly and continued, "I haven''t touched a single cent he gave me all these years. I refuse the money offered by my
parents as well. I turned myself into an ordinary woman, working hard to make a living for myself and my child. One day, he''ll see how difficult this is
for me. I just need to wait until this dayes to snatch the opportunity to win his heart.”
It was normal for her to think that way. A man who had a sessful career and was outstanding in various aspects would never becking in women.
The women who tried to approach him were either coveting his wealth or his love. Liz was no different from those women.
Liz knew that very well, so in order to not make Matthew think that she was simr to those women, she chose to go off the beaten track. She turned
herself into a woman who yearned only for his love and nothing else
By doing so, Matthew had no other way ofpensating her other than with his love.
Love must bepensated with love. Otherwise, one would only keep owing.
I looked at her face full of sorrow and felt truly sorry for her.
I did not know what else to say about her and Matthew''s rtionship, so I said, "It''s time I return to Whaldorf City. I booked a flight ticket for tonight.
You''re not familiar with this ce, so I''m worried about you. I''ll give you my friend''s contact number. You can look for her if you need any help.”
Liz pursed her lips. "Thank you, Wanda."
After a pause, she continued, "We could''ve been best friends.”
Those words hit me like a hammer, and I felt really bad. I still said with a smile, "It''s nice this way too.”
There were a lot of helpless situations in life. Fate yed a huge role regardless of friendships or rtionships.
Liz and I were destined to meet but not fated to be friends.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
When we returned to the ward, Matthew had already fallen asleep.
Laney stood by the bed and greeted me when she saw meing in.
I told her that I was returning to Whaldorf City and reminded her to take good care of Matthew and not let Liz get too tired.
I then left the hospital with my luggage and tock a cab to the airport.
When Shannon called me, I was in the cab.
She asked me where I was, and I told her the truth.
She said somewhat grumpily, "Didn''t I tell you that we need to have a meal together before Regata Storica? Why did you leave without informing me?
You''re awful!"
I sighed and apologized to her,
decided to goback to Whaldorf City
tonight othe spur of the moment: +
didn''t have the time to tell you and
you just it called me. I''m at fault Here,
SO please apologize to Nina and the
rest. on my behalf.” Content belongs

I continued after a pause, "I''ll be back. Let''s gather for a meal when I do."
Although Shannon was unhappy, I
was already-bn my way to the
airport, so-she had no choice but te>
say, “What S$ up with you guys? How
long Yall a meal take you? Whyare

You guys?
I pursed my lips. "Who else is going home now?"
"Dazaray. She promised to attend as well but suddenly needed to go home.
Since it was Dazaray, I had no ns of asking further.
Remembering that Mn was in the
country, I reminded her, "Don''t go
out if you have nothing to do. Stay at
home, especially at night. I bumped
nto Franky again a few days ago:
He''s not doing okay, so I gave him
ny Gontact number and toldhim to
reach out to me if he needed any
help. If I''m away, I might fieed you to
help him.”

I continued after a pause, "Also, Mr. Zimmer''s wife is here to see him. She''s unfamiliar with this ce. I might need your help to assist her tco.”
Shannon tutted. "You''re too nice. To put it bluntly, Franky is at the end of his rope now. You''ll get yourself into trouble if you help him."
