Chapter 1374 What Can I Repay Him?
It would be more apt to say it was a favor than help. She had become accustomed to living under pressure. Her
family was not well-off, but Amir and Wallis never failed in nurturing her.
If there was any money at home, they would not leave her out. If other students were attending tutoring classes,
she would be there as well. Because of this, after graduating from senior high school and getting into a college in
Jewel City, Beryl never asked for another dime from her family.
She would opt for living off-campus in a dilapidated apartment just to work part-time jobs after classes and didn't
consider it tiring at all.
However, the little money she managed to save was merely a drop in the bucket when it came to medical
expenses.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe didn't know how she would've managed if Marcellus hadn't stepped in to help this time.
His help was more touching to her than any words could be. Truth be told, she didn't expect Marcellus would help
her. After all, a man like him seemed to be from a completely different world than ordinary folks like them.
The more unexpected it was, the deeper the impression when it happened.
But it seemed like there was nothing she could do in return for him.
Regardless, since Marcellus chose to help her, she couldn't take it for granted, nor could she act like nothing had
happened.
Thinking of this, she felt a little breathless. There were still a lot of things she had to face, so she didn't have time to
rest.
She turned and walked toward the ward where Amir was. She knew Marcellus was waiting for her at the door.
Sure enough, when she was five or six meters away from the ward, Marcellus had already stood up from the bench
and was walking toward her.
Seeing the serious expression on her face, he slightly furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter? What
did the doctor say?"
"Nothing serious," Beryl looked down, avoiding his gaze, "Just need to recover, no major issues."
After saying that, she quickly changed the subject, "Just that..."
"What is it?" Marcellus noticed her stuttering and thought she was hiding something from him. His tone dropped,
"What's really going on?"
Beryl looked around, reached out, and gently tugged at his sleeve, "Let's talk somewhere else." Marcellus was
somewhat taken aback. He wondered what kind of thing needed a special place to talk about.
But he respected her decision, "Okay, let's go to the coffee room."
He turned to instruct Mike behind him not to let anyone else follow. Beryl watched his tall figure as she followed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbehind him. Whether it was because her mindset had changed or something else, she suddenly realized that
Marcellus was particularly considerate.
Before, she always focused on his tone and domineering behavior when he talked to her. But beneath that tough
exterior, he had a delicate side too.
The two of them went into the coffee room one after the other. The room was small, located in the middle of the
hallway for the convenience of the patients in both rooms. A small sink beside the water heater was filled with
water.
Marcellus seemed a bit displeased. He casually stuffed his hands in his pockets, "What's up?"
Finally, Beryl began awkwardly, "The doctor said that you've paid for my father's surgery and hospital stay?"
Marcellus was taken aback but didn't try to hide it. He quickly nodded, "Yes, what about it?"
He asked as if it didn't matter to him. But Beryl couldn't take it lightly.
She took a deep breath, looking up at him earnestly, "The doctor said all the medical expenses added up to just
more than twenty thousand dollars. I can't pay you back right now, but I'll work hard to earn enough to repay you.
Or I could return to work at Red Cauldron, I don't need the salary, just deduct it every month, but right now all I can
do is..."
