Chapter 31
After being busted for pretending to run into him, I pursed my lips in embarrassment. Picking up his phone, I saved my number in his contact list in double-quick time.

“I’ll get someone to send your dad to the best hospital in Avenport tomorrow for his surgery. Don’t worry about it.”

Just as I started feeling disappointed in him, his words made my heart leap. The distaste for him within me was replaced by gratitude. Now I know that Michael’s actually a compassionate man. He isn’t as heartless as he appears to be.

“Thank you…”

Looking down, I mumbled with my hands interlaced.

Although the man had made an outrageous request, he gave me the two hundred thousand to save my father. That was why I didn’t blame or hold a grudge. After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Soon, the car pulled over at Natalie’s place. Breathing a sigh of relief, I opened the door to get out of the car. Just then, he grabbed my wrist.
