Chapter 1327
"How can I help you, Mrs. Grant?" Keith sounded respectful as ever.
I went straight to the point, asking him, "Is Amelia''s autopsy report out yet, Keith?"
"I just received it. The result shows that shemitted suicide."
I pursed my lips. "Are you sure?"
"I''m sure. She smashed the window herself. She went to a psychiatrist just before the suicide and was diagnosed with depression. What''s worse, she
had attempted suicide several times before but couldn''t bear leaving her parents and son, so she held on until now."
I frowned. "What''s the reason she suddenly decided tomit suicide, then?”
Keith sighed. "She bought an insurance policy a few months ago. Her parents and son are the beneficiaries. The insurance payout and our
company’spensation should be enough to sustain her family.”
Amelia had long thought aboutmitting suicide and had made all the ns.
However, it was not as easy as she thought. An investigation was all it took to find out how she died
It was no wonder Amelia''s mother was so flustered and gave me a call. I guessed she knew what was going on
She hoped I did not know about this matter or pretended not to know about it.
After hanging up the call, I called Amelia''s mother.
I could tell that she was devastated. I had no way of discussing it over the phone with her, so we agreed to talk in the hospital tomorrow.
Theo came home after work. During dinner, I kept putting food on his te.
When he could not catch up with my speed of putting food on his te, he nced at me and put down his cutleries while saying ndly, "What''s the
matter?
Feeling a little guilty, I let out an awkward chuckle. "Nothing. I just think you''ve been looking very exhaustedtely. You need to nourish your body by
eating more."
Theo pursed his lips, not saying a word. He was merely staring straight at me.
I let out a sigh and could onlye clean.” I want to talk about Amelia."
Theo raised his eyebrows. "What do you want to talk about?" "Amelia''s son has leukemia, and I want to help him," I spoke in an almost inaudible
voice,Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
He nodded. "How do you n to help him?”
I hesitated fora moment before
saying to hic, "Amelia''s autopsy
report came back. It''s confirmed
that shemitted suicide. If =
they’ r pensated under noghal
circumstances, how much oS
compensation will her family receive
atmost?’
Theo furrowed his brows. "If shemitted suicide, then thepany won''t need to pay anything. But we''ll still pay for humanitarian reasons, just
not as much."
I understood what he meant, but I could not bring myself to do it.
Theo knew what I was thinking
about and sified "There''s a
foundation dnder Grant Corporatigf:
We can-apply for a sum of money”
~~" ~
for herehild, but I want you to know
that-you''re likely to get yourself into
trotible by helping him." Content

Get myself into trouble?
I thought for a long time yet could not figure out how I would get myself into trouble by helping the child
I did not think about it in detail, but I was at ease after learning that he could help the child through the foundation. "Don''t worry, I''ll handle it."
Amelia''s son could go ahead with the treatment. I went to the hospital after waking up the next day.
The child had already started chemotherapy, something that was extremely painful and unbearable for an adult, let alone a five-year-old child
He looked emaciated, and it was clear from his face how much pain he was in.
When Amelia''s mother saw me, she
ran toward me-and held me
emotionally; Saying, "You''re finally
here, Mrs>Grant. The doctor said
that Sky''s uing chemotherapy
will cost 500,000 dors, but
Amelia''spensation is onty
206,000 dors. We simplycan''t
come up with another 369,000
dors. I''m begging you, Mrs. Grant.
Please help us."
