The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1340

Theo took my hand and pulled me away after saying that.

I turned back to see Tory standing there alone and thought it was strange.

When I got in the car, I asked Theo, "Why did Mr. Harold choose Tory in the end when there are so many children and grandchildren in the Zimmersons?"

Theo gave me a sideways glance. "Why did you choose me when there are so many men in this world?"

Was the answer 'outstanding'?

Was Tory very outstanding?

Forgive me, I could not tell at the moment.

When I returned to the hotel, my phone rang.

I answered the call and heard the wailing of a woman. "Mrs. Grant, I know you've helped us a lot and I shouldn't be asking for anything else, but I really have no other choice. Only you can help us now. We're still short of 300,000 dollars for Sky's surgical fees. Can you lend it to us? I know you may think that I'm too much, but we're at a dead end now. I can't just watch the child die."

It was Amelia's mother.

I frowned slightly and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but my heart softened when I thought of the adorable child. I was in no hurry to refuse.

"Hasn't it been paid? Why is there still a shortfall of 300,000?"

Amelia's mother choked and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told my bastard son that Amelia's compensation has been banked in. If I hadn't told him, then he wouldn't have come every day to try and snatch the money away. It's all my fault. Why did I raise such a beast?! Why am I not the one who's sick?"

Amelia's mother grew more devastated as she spoke. She cried louder and louder.

I sighed. Keith had investigated it before. Amelia's brother was a gambler. However, I never would have thought that he would snatch his own nephew's surgical fees. He was truly heartless.

I thought about it and said, "I can lend you the money, but this will be the last time. I don't feel sorry for the money. I just don't want your son to gamble away the money I intend to use to save the child's life." Amelia's mother thanked me profusely when I agreed.

Everyone lived a difficult life.

Theo came out of the bathroom after showering. I hung up the call and transferred the amount into Amelia's mother's bank account.

He had probably overheard our conversation. He did not say anything and merely asked, "Do you want to go for a walk tomorrow?"

I shook my head. "Don't you have a lot to do?"

"Mm."

"When are we going home?"

Theo sighed. "We won't be able to go home so soon. Madam Mathilda just passed away. We must go to her funeral first."

I sat on the bed, feeling a little agitated.

Milan was here. I felt very unsafe.

He sat down beside me and pulled me into his arms, asking in a tender voice," Amelia's mother called you to borrow money from you?"

I nodded and had no plans of keeping it from him. "I just transferred another 300,000 to Amelia's mother and asked her to use it for Amelia's son's treatment. Are you going to be mad at me?"
