Chapter 209 "Thinking about what's next? But with a kid, I don't dare to venture too far." As I mentioned the words "too far," I noticed Max's brows furrow slightly.
He squatted beside my bed, "Planning a trip to the unknown without me?" I hadn't really considered taking Max along.
A quick flash of disappointment passed through his eyes, but I didn't linger on it. He had the Hilton family's legacy to shoulder, and I couldn't always lean on him. "Max, I need to find what I'm meant to do." "I'm actually working on setting up a free clinic for you, where you can perform as many surgeries as you want." replied Max.
I couldn't help but laugh. Max was being so straightforward.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You trying to workto death?" "You said you wanted to find your purpose. How about we target underserved markets, offer surgeries for free? Don't worry about financials, I'll cover all the operation costs." I put my hand over his mouth to stop him from saying more.
"Max... I need stto think it over." He kissed the back of my hand then gently pulled it away, saying, "I know, ever since the flood, you've seen firsthand the suffering in the world. But one person's efforts are limited. You could hire a team, provide them with salaries, and offer the treatments for free." I shook my head, "The cost would be enormous. It's practically charity work." "That's exactly what I want to do. To accrue good karma for our child, hoping for a safe, happy, and healthy life." Max placed his hand on my stomach.
I couldn't help but wrap my arms around his neck, "Max, why are you so nice? You sure you're not up to something? Richard was always nice tosince we were kids, but in the end, he hurtthe most. I'm really scared." Tears streamed down my face as I let out all my frustrations.
"My only motive is for all of us to be well in this life." I cherished the honesty between us, with no secrets hidden.
I slept soundly in his arms that night.
The next morning, Max was already off to the office, Helen informed me, dealing with another family .
I nodded, planning to check out the charity project Max mentioned, which he said was ready.
It maderealize that those in pet er echelons of society had more higher as ans to help others, asto were willing.
But as I stepped out, I saw Kate waiting forat the doorway.
"Claire Floyd, I need to talk to you." Before I could stepped in front, "Sorry, but if wiped in respond, Helen O see Ms. Claire, you'll et make an appointment." I couldn't help but laugh at her antics.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's okay, Helen. Kate, what did you want to talk about?" "Could you please visit Claude?" Kate's tone was laced with defeat.
It was the first tI saw such a proud heiress looking completely defeated.
"With you around, he should be fine. After all, you're his 'one in a blue! moon","Nforced a smile.
"Claude hatesnow. He's been drinking every day, crying over your photos, even sleeping with one in his E arms." Kate's tone was no longer filled with jealousy but rather an anxious uncertainty.
"People need to work through their emotions on their own." I had no intention of seeing him, ready to bid farewell to the past.
But then Kate said, "He says he loves you." Her voice echoed desperately behind me.
"He's said that tobefore, that he loved you. Right now, he's just m suffering from unrequited love. Once NO he had it, he didn't cherish it. Kate, no matter what happens to him, I'm not looking back."
