Joey walked to the maple tree, looking up at its lush canopy. All the beauty that once existed here felt like a knife in her heart. She didn''t want to endure this pain anymore; she wanted to forget everything about this ce. Tears rolled down as she took the two rings on a chain off her neck. With a bitter smile, she knelt and dug a hole beneath the maple tree, burying the rings in it.


    As she gazed at the two rings lying silently in the soil, with their engraved heartbeats, Joey''s shoulders trembled uncontrobly.


    Joey had been busy at both the hospital and herpany for several days. Her father''s condition had finally stabilized, and thepany was slowly getting back on track.novelbin


    She nned to meet up with Julian and Sophia that evening. However, as she drove not too far from her ce, she noticed an elderlydy staggering toward her car.


    Joey panicked and mmed on the brakes. The car came to a halt, and the olddy copsed, right next to her car''s wheel.


    Joey''s initial reaction was that this might be a scam. She was about to pick up her phone to call the police when she saw the olddy groaning on the ground.


    Her heart softened. Joey got out of the car and knelt beside the olddy, asking with concern, "Ma''am, are you alright? Should I call an ambnce for you?"


    The olddy sat on the ground, trembling with fear, but remained silent. Someone nearby advised, "Youngdy, don''t bother. It''s most likely a scam. Your car didn''t even touch her, so how could she have fallen?" Joey replied, "I have a dashcam in my car. Even if she''s running to scam, we''ll have evidence. Let''s take her to the hospital first. At her age, we shouldn''t risk her health." Ignoring the crowd, Joey took the olddy to the hospital for a full check-up. It turned out she only had a minor scrape and slightly high blood pressure, nothing serious. Joey bought her food and a drink, andforted her in a gentle voice for a long while. "Ma''am, you''re fine now. Can you tell me how to get in touch with your family?"


    The olddy looked at Joey''s beautiful and gentle face, slowly regained her senses, and finally spoke, "Youngdy, you''ve gone through so much trouble for me. How can I thank you?" Joey felt relieved when she saw the olddy speaking. She smiled and said, "As long as you''re okay, there''s no need to thank me."

    The olddy insisted, "No, that won''t do. I overheard your phone call earlier about yourpany facing difficulties. How about this? I don''t have much to offer, but I can have my grandson bring some big orders to yourpany. He''s the owner of arge corporation. I''m not lying."


    Joey handed the olddy a cup of hot water with a smile. "I appreciate your kindness. I''ll handle thepany''s matters myself. Just give me your family''s contact information, and I''ll have theme to pick you up."


    The olddy refused. "No, I believe in repaying kindness. My grandson will definitely help you. By the way, he''s still single, good-looking, and wealthy. If you don''t mind, you can consider marrying him, and all his wealth will be yours." As the olddy spoke, she dialed her grandson''s number. Half an hourter, Joey waited with the olddy at a nearby cafe.


    But the person who arrived was a man she knew all too well.
