My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1215

I felt a little guilty and smiled. I shook my head slightly, "Nothing. You should eat more. So much has happened at the company..."

With him staring at me, I couldn't go on anymore. I could only sigh. "Well, I would like to talk to you about Sonia."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, go ahead!"

"Sonia's daughter has leukemia, and I want to help her!" I said hesitatingly.

He nodded and asked, "How do you plan to help her?"

I hesitated again. "Sonia's autopsy report said that she committed suicide. Following normal compensation procedures, what is the maximum amount her family can get?"

He frowned and answered, "The company is only paying her family out of compassion. After all, the company doesn't have to take any responsibility for her, so it's not much."

I guessed as much. After all, Sonia died by her own design, not from an accident. Thus, the company did not have to pay her any compensation at all, but...

He seemed to know what I was thinking. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Roberts Group has a charity foundation. You can apply for a sum of money from the foundation to help. But Arianna, I want to know if the people you help will bring you trouble."

I didn't quite understand what he meant, but I couldn't help feeling relieved when I heard that I could apply for a sum of money from the foundation to help the child. I looked at him and said, "Got it. I will handle it."

The issue with Sonia's daughter had a solution.

The next day, I went straight to the hospital.

I didn't know whether it was because of the treatment, but the already very haggard child seemed to be on the verge of collapse. The child's hair was limp and untidy. She looked very sick.

Upon seeing me, Sonia's mother took my hand and said frantically, "Mrs. Roberts, you're finally here. The doctor said that Rita's chemotherapy treatment will cost five hundred thousand dollars. But the amount of compensation Sonia received is only two hundred thousand dollars. It's impossible for us to fork out another three hundred thousand dollars. Mrs. Roberts, please, help us!"

I was afraid that she would be like this, but I couldn't ignore her distress either. I could only comfort her, "Madam, don't be like this. I have already found a way to help you with the medical expenses. Don't worry."

When she heard this, she nodded her head repeatedly and burst into tears.

The child had woken up. Upon seeing that there was someone in the ward, she said in a weak voice, "Grandma, I'm thirsty!"

"Okay, okay!" Sonia's mother said repeatedly. She then got up and walked over to the water dispenser. Seeing that the water dispenser was empty, she took the empty bucket above it and went into the bathroom. The sound of rushing water came from inside.

"Madam, are you here to see me?" I came back to my senses upon hearing the child's voice. I looked at the sick child, paused for a moment before I nodded, and smiled at her.

"Yes!"

The little girl smiled, showing her cute baby teeth. "Will you come and see me again next time?"

I nodded and said gently, "Yes. So you need to take good care of yourself. I will come and see you when I have time."

She was a little happy and said, "Can you bring me some candies when you come next time?

Grandma said that I can only eat candy when I'm sick. But I've been sick for a long time, and she hasn't bought me any. I really want to eat candy!"
