My Bossy CEO Husband
Chapter 2547

It was a substantial sum, no doubt about it.

But to Lyndon, the amount was manageable.

He observed Rita, her distress palpable, and after a brief pause, he made a decision.

“I’ll cover it for you first.

”

Rita’s expression shifted from despair to a flicker of hope, her eyes lighting up.

She clasped Lyndon’s hand, her voice trembling.

“Really, sir? Are you sure?”

“Let’s go,” Lyndon replied with a nod.

“I’ll accompany you to the payment office right now.

”

Lyndon broke free from Rita’s hand and made his way to the payment office.

Rita stared blankly at his back, unable to believe what he had just said.

Lyndon took a few more steps before noticing Rita hadn’t caught up with him.

He paused and looked back, his voice carrying a gentle prompt.

“Aren’t you coming?”

Startled from her reverie, Rita quickly wiped her tears, a mix of joy and disbelief coloring her expression as she hurried after him.

She glanced sideways at him, noting his calm demeanor, and ventured, “Sir, if I may ask, why would you help me? We’re strangers.

”

Lyndon stopped and faced her, his response simple yet profound.

“There’s a joy in helping others that is its own reward.

”

Rita bit her lip, her eyes welling up with gratitude.

“You are truly kind, sir.

I will write an IOU, and I promise to repay you as soon as I can.

”

Lyndon gave her a reassuring glance, dismissing her concerns with an easy wave of his hand.

“There’s no need for that.

”

“But I insist.

Please, may I know your last name?” she persisted, her tone earnest.

“Fernandez,” Lyndon replied, his gaze straightforward.

“I’m Rita Gordon,” she introduced herself more formally, a sense of relief in acknowledging the debt she intended to repay.

Meanwhile, in the hospital garden, Rosalynn and Tilda were enjoying the weak sunlight on a bench, immersed in conversation for almost half an hour already.

Noticing a slight chill in the air, Tilda expressed her concern.

“Rosalynn, perhaps we should head back inside? It’s getting cold, and we wouldn’t want you catching a cold.

”

Rosalynn, feeling quite comfortable, nonetheless nodded in agreement.

“Alright, let’s go back.

”

As Tilda helped her to stand, Rosalynn chuckled lightly, “You don’t have to worry so much, I’m fine.

Technically, I could be discharged by now, but Mom insists on a few more days here.

It’s tough to argue with her.

Alas, I’m not fond of the hospital’s sterile scent.
