She never expected that what Summer Shawcross said on that day would actually come true!
"I know you hate me, but please help me this one time. As long as you can help me, I’m willing to do anything!" Wendy Linden looked up at Summer Shawcross, choking with emotion as she pleaded.
After the Linden Family had an incident, those relatives and the friends who once flattered her all changed their attitudes, becoming cold and even mocking her.
She had no choice but to turn to Summer Shawcross for help!
Looking at Wendy Linden’s current disheveled state, Summer Shawcross couldn’t help but feel a moment of disorientation. She suddenly recalled how years ago, when the Shawcross Family went bankrupt, her brother was still studying abroad, and her grandfather had suddenly passed away due to illness. She was left alone in this familiar city, facing a bunch of debt collectors, lonely and helpless...
She went from being a well-treasured young lady to a pitiable person pursued by creditors, singing in bars to pay off debts with no way out.
At that time, she didn’t even know how she managed to endure it...
Thinking of this, Summer Shawcross felt a lump in her throat, and the next second, she suddenly spoke.
"Alright, I’ll help you."
Seeing her agree, Wendy Linden’s expression froze, turning into shock.
"You really agreed to help me?" she asked, somewhat in disbelief.
The two of them had been rivals since they were young, constantly competing and despising each other.
How could she agree to help her so readily...
Seeing the disbelieving look on the other’s face, Summer Shawcross felt a tinge of helplessness.
"If you don’t believe me, forget it. I’m leaving." She shrugged, turned around, and prepared to open the car door.
Seeing this, Wendy Linden was startled and hurriedly leaped over, grabbing hold of Summer’s leg to prevent her from leaving.
"I believe you, I believe you, please don’t leave!"
She was already at her wit’s end, what else was there not to believe!
Summer Shawcross froze in place, looking down at Wendy Linden, who was terrified of her leaving, and couldn’t help but sigh.
"Get in the car."
...
An hour later.
Central Hospital of Narsus City.
In the hospital room, a middle-aged man lay quietly with tubes all over his body.
Wendy Linden, covered in filth, knelt by the bedside, wiping away tears while holding the man’s hand.
At the door, Summer Shawcross stood quietly watching the scene in the hospital room.
In her heart, she felt somewhat envious of Wendy Linden.
Though the Linden Family had undergone turmoil, at least Mr. Linden’s life was saved, unlike her own experience... Her grandfather departed so suddenly, she had no means to change anything.
"Summer, I’ve already paid the hospitalization and treatment fees," Jessica said softly, after handling the admission paperwork, standing beside Summer Shawcross.
Summer Shawcross nodded lightly, just as she was about to turn and leave, Wendy Linden suddenly came after her.
"Wait a minute..."
Summer Shawcross stopped, turning with a look of puzzlement towards her.
"Thank you for helping me, but I won’t accept your personal favor!" Wendy Linden looked at Summer Shawcross earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Summer Shawcross couldn’t help but chuckle, then curiously asked her.
"Then how do you plan to repay it?"
The Wendy Linden in front of her reminded her of her former self; once a fallen heiress, yet unable to let go of her pride and stubbornness, thus always facing setback after setback...
"You just tell me how, and I’ll repay you any way I can."
"With that figure and face of yours... you might still be worth some money," Summer Shawcross smirked, deliberately eyeing Wendy Linden’s figure.
