You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 40


    Matthew showed no reaction to what Ellie just said and just sat down.


    “Your friend rissa?”


    “Yes. What about it?”


    “She’s noting back to D City anymore?” He said after a moment of pondering.


    “Uncle Matt, what are you trying to say here? Don’t change the subject. rissa is not involved in our


    problem. Let me just ask you, is Shermaine really going to be my aunt?”


    Matthew gave Ellie a profound look. “What if she is?”


    “Uncle Matt, you… “


    Right then, Ellie thought about what rissa just said. I really can’t do anything about it.


    Hence, she just snorted and gave up. “re was right. Being with Shermaine is your choice, I can’t


    interfere with that. Maybe she’s evil to me but you may have seen something in her. I can give you my


    blessing, but don’t ask me to like her. This is the limit of how much I can tolerate this.”


    “rissa said that?”


    “Huh? Yes?”


    Ellie did not know what was going on. Why is he constantly shifting the conversation to re?


    Immediately after, Matthew stood up and left. His eyes were dark and cold.


    It all felt so ridiculous to Ellie, but she decided to take rissa’s advice and not be angry. Be like re.


    Have an open mind and stay calm.


    One month had gone by.


    rissa’s hometown was cooling as summer hade to an end. But, when she set foot in D city, she


    could feel heat waves plunging at her. The city felt like a big hot sauna and it was not veryfortable.


    After leaving the airport, rissa immediately rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, she found Hry,


    whose face was pale as snow under the light.


    When Hry saw rissa, her tears started streaking down her face, a sight that rissa was not used


    to seeing.


    Hry held rissa’s fingers tightly in her hand as she sought forgiveness from her.


    “ry, I know I made a mistake. Look at me, I’m not even living well. When I fell sick, it became clear


    to me that no one actually cares about me. The maids don’t give a damn, Zach is always busy, not to


    mention Yvonne. She never epted me in the first ce. I only have you now… “


    rissa listened to everything Hry said and came to a realization. She only thinks about me when


    she has no one else to take care of her. And now she wants me to take care of her for the rest of her


    life.


    rissa doubted that falling ill would change Hry so drastically. The illness was not even serious, to


    begin with.


    However, Hry was her birth mother. If no one took care of her, rissa would have to step in,


    regardless of how much she did not want to.


    “I understand. I’ll take care of you until you’re discharged. Let me go book a room at a hotel nearby. I’ll


    come back when I’m done.”


    “Alright. re, I’m really sorry for troubling you at a time like this.”


    But no matter what Hry says, rissa remained skeptical. More than ten years of abandonment was


    not something a few words could erase, or forgiven.


    After rissa was done with the hotel, she headed straight back to the hospital and spoke with the


    attending doctor. She found out that Hry had an ovarian cyst, so surgery was required. But, it was


    just a small issue that posed no danger, relieving rissa of her worries.


    After that, rissa visited the hospital every day. Sometimes she would listen to Hry nag at her, but


    most of the time, they did not talk. rissa would just sit there with herptop and typed for an


    extended period of time.


    In between, Jane called her to talk about the publishing of her new book and some issues with the


    adaptations.


    rissa’s books were all hotmodities now and everyone was trying to get their hands on the


    copyright. Even hertest attempt at a new setting, albeit short, showed potential and caught the eyes


    of some people that wanted to get in while it was still hot.


    This was something rissa would have never ever thought about.


    At night, rissa took some time off from the hospital and went to a restaurant. Besides Jane, there


    were some other editors from thepany present too. Even though they usuallymunicated via


    the inte, meeting them in person posed no problem. All of them quickly mingled with each other and


    had some fun, improving their team cohesiveness in the process.


    After the meal, the gang split into two cars. Jane and another young editor called Tessa were in charge


    of driving. Because of how good rissa’s books were selling, Jane had proposed to buy them drinks


    at a club. Hence, everyone cheered as they headed out.


    Their fun was about to be cut short, however, as something unexpected happened.


    When they almost reached the club, Tessa slowed down her car, but a car suddenly appeared from the


    fork of the road at a dangerous speed. Tessa, being a new driver, panicked, even forgetting to step on


    the brake as she just screamed. In the end, the two cars crashed.


    rissa was sitting at the back, so her body got thrown forward and mmed into the seat as the


    crash urred. Nevertheless, Tessa had already slowed down prior to the crash, so no one suffered


    any serious injury.


    Jane was stunned by what just happened, so she stopped her car behind them. Everyone else quickly


    got out of the car.


    When they saw the car in front of them, they all had a small panic attack.


    Tessa had it the worst as she looked at Jane. Jane gave her aforting look as the people in the


    sports car came out.


    Since the sports car stopped, a long line of luxurious cars soon came stopping one after another after


    it.


    “Wow, Luke. It’s a brand new car. It’s not even been a day yet. Tsk tsk… I think someone’s gonna


    explode.”


    “Explode? Who? Look at those idiots. I think they’re the ones that should kill themselves before Luke


    does anything. Hahaha… “

    A whole lot of people stood by the car. They looked like a bunch of rich yboys with the women


    beside them, everyone taking a shot at rissa and her friends as they joked around.


    The owner of the car came out. It was a young man named Luke, in a pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt,


    nothing too over the top. If he was not driving a sports car that symbolized his wealth, no one would be


    able to tell that he was from a rich family.


    That sports car was imported and just arrived not long ago. Luke waited a long time for it and it was his


    favorite car. But now, it got crashed within a day of arrival.


    He had never been a good-tempered person, and as of that moment, it was like the others had said.


    He was fuming with rage.


    “What the f***! Who was driving this? Are you people trying to get yourselves killed? Goddamnit… “


    A series of foul mouths and vulgarity came flying out in an extremely loud manner.


    Everyone on rissa’s side was stupefied. All of them had unknowingly backed away, wanting to hide


    and not get involved in the situation. Tessa drew the worst end of the straw and she was scared to


    tears by Luke’s reaction.


    She was just a small editor that joined thepany not long ago. Thepany had not even gotten


    her the basic insurances yet, and the car she was driving was one of the colleagues’. She was only


    driving because her colleague was drunk.


    Listening to Luke’s curses, she could already envision the darkness that was about to loom over her


    future. There’s no way I could afford this. I’m going to jail…


    With that in mind, Tessa started crying a river.


    rissa, on the other hand, was just as scared. But even though she did not know how to drive, she


    knew that Tessa might not fully be at fault for this.


    While all those rich kids just sat there enjoying what was going on, and while all the other colleagues


    were panicking, rissa took out her phone and called the traffic police. “Hello, we’ve got into an


    ident. the location is… “


    rissa looked to the roadside and found a sign stating the address. There were also some big


    buildings andndmarks. So, she gave all that information to the police. Luke’s cursing had stopped by


    then as everyone on his side was listening to rissa’s beautiful voice, stunned by the hidden beauty


    right in front of them.


    After rissa was done with the call, she instructed her colleague to call the insurancepany. It


    was then that the colleague snapped out of it, and quickly took out his phone.


    All of a sudden, the air became still.


    Until someone broke the silence with a whistle.


    “Hey! There’s a prettydy over there! Luke, you trading a car for ady? It’s a good deal, isn’t it?”


    rissa did not like what she heard, so she knitted her brows while Luke sneered.


    “I don’t reallyck any woman. Do you f**king think she’d be more expensive than this car? Ha! Police?


    Be my guest. I’m gonna make you guys pay with everything you have or my name’s not Harrison!”


    Hearing that made everyone’s heart sank, no one was able to keep calm from that.


    “You… The one that called the police, were you the one driving?”


    Luke started walking over to rissa, staring at her as the people behind him started cheering.


    “It’s not me,” rissa said after taking a step forward.


    “Oh? It’s not you? So you’re standing up for your friend then? Seeing how that these people behind you


    look like they’re about to wet their pants, you are actually quite calm.”


    rissa did not respond.


    “It’s not going to end well for you people tonight, prettydy. It took me so long to bring my baby here


    home. Within a day, she’s already hurt by your friend. Do you know how much she cost? I can tell you


    that, the insurancepany’s going to do jacks***. The only thing your friend can do is either go


    bankrupt or stay in jail for a long, long time. But, I can offer you a discount. For everyone night you


    spend with me, I’ll decrease the payment by 1 million. How’s that? The longer you stay with me, the


    lesser they have to pay.”


    Having said that, rissa did not look at Luke as she saw the police car arrive, along with people from


    the insurancepany.


    When both parties came out and saw what happened, the insurance immediately prayed for rissa’s


    side.


    As for the police, they asked nothing and just stood by Luke, greeting him with a smile.


    “Mr. Harrison.”


    rissa’s heart sank when she heard that.


    “You know me?” Luke replied.


    “Everyone knows that your car just arrived,” the traffic police was being really respectful.


    “Ha! That’s good then. Go tell those idiots. And hey! Insurancepany,e here! Let them know


    that they won’t be able to pay me even if they sold their bodies and organs.”


    The traffic police looked at rissa and her colleagues, paying extra attention to the beautiful rissa.


    However, before they could say anything, rissa spoke.


    “Sir. I personally don’t drive nor do I know thew behind it. But I do know that, in this situation, you


    should be going around understanding what went on here and determine both sides’ responsibility, and


    not just stand there and exchange pleasantries.”
