Chapter 1031 Remuneration

“Okay. Thanks, Aunt Chloe,” answered Andrew.”It’s been a long journey. You should be thirsty now. I’ll let you a glass of water.” Chloe went to get some water.”Evelyn,” Andrew reached out his hand, “Where are you?”Evelyn put her hand in his palm. He gripped her hand and said, “When we arrived at City C, you’ll meet my parents, younger brother, and younger sister…””Andrew,” Evelyn interrupted him. She had originally thought for real that he was from an ordinary family. However, since they came back, on the way, she could feel how well others treated Andrew. Also, when they mentioned Andrew’s father, she could tell that his father wasn’t ordinary.”You are not from an ordinary family, are you?” she asked.”No worries, Evelyn. My mom is a gentle woman. She will like you.” Andrew didn’t want to give her any fixed impression first. He said, “You don’t need to worry. My family members are all easygoing. I like you, and do will they.”w??. n???SH??. c?mWhen Chloe walked over with a glass of water, she heard what Andrew said and paused her paces, ?W?.???el?????.c??gazing at Evelyn. In the beginning, she had thought that Evelyn had just saved Andrew. However, now she realized that there was something between them. She wondered if Evelyn had done something to Andrew when he was blind. Otherwise, how could Andrew like her when he was blind? In Chloe’s opinion, Evelyn was just a country girl, who didn’t deserve Andrew at all. She couldn’t marry into the Nelson family. She walked over, passing the glass of water to Andrew. Looking at Evelyn, Chloe said, “May I talk with you? I just want to know what happened after Andrew has been saved.””Of course,” Evelyn answered, not too humble nor too arrogant.”Aunt Chloe, Evelyn is quite timid. Don’t scare her.” Andrew smiled. Evelyn had just arrived, so he was worried that she hadn’t got used to it yetChloe looked at him. “You brad, since when have you become so caring?”She wondered if he was obsessed. Andrew had never cared about or been so protective to any other girl before. He hadn’t seen the country girl’s look but he could be so protective, so Chloe believed that Evelyn must have done something to him.”No worries. I don’t eat humans,” Chloe said with a smile. Andrew couldn’t see, so he couldn’t judge Chloe’s intention right now.”Come on. Let me show you around.” Chloe took Evelyn’s hands friendly. “Although it’s an old residential area, no ordinary family could move in here.”Evelyn pressed her lips in silence, nodding politely. When they reached a place where Andrew couldn’t hear her voice, Chloe put away her smile. “Do you know anything about Andrew’s family?””It should be quite influential,” said Evelyn. She just felt it that way, but she didn’t know any details”It should be?” Chloe smiled. “It is indeed. His family is more than influential.”Evelyn smiled and said, “For real?””Of course,” Chloe stopped beating around the bush. “A few days ago, his younger brother got married. The bride’s father was an important government official. You now know how good Andrew’s family background is. I heard you are an orphan.”Evelyn was quite smart, so she understood what Chloe meant.”His family is a super-rich and powerful family. If you have any evil intention, you want to climb up by marrying him.” Chloe’s words were quite harsh and awful. “You’ve saved Andrew. We do appreciate you. No matter how much you want, we can give it to you. However, since you played dirty tricks to deceive Andrew. We won’t allow you to achieve your goals.””What did I do to deceive him?” Evelyn frowned and couldn’t bear Chloe’s sarcasm at all.

“He’s blind now. How could he like you?” Chloe looked at her in disdain. “Tell me about it.”Evelyn was speechless.”Even if he liked you, his family wouldn’t accept you. To be honest, all our family members are quite important in either business or political circles. No one would accept a girl like you. Tell me how much you want directly. You’d better give up your evil intention now.””I don’t have any evil intentions,” said Evelyn stubbornly. “I save him because I’m a doctor. I don’t need your money.””You are alone. I know it’s difficult for you. Here’s five hundred thousand.” Chloe gave her a check.???.?ov??s?o?(e).???Evelyn gazed at the check, feeling that her self-esteem was harmed.”As I said, I didn’t save him for money.” Evelyn walked into the house, wrote down a herb prescription, and gave it to Chloe. “The herbs left are only for Andrew to have for one day. You can get more herbs according to this prescription. His eyes will be recovered in a few days.”After that, she turned away. She came here with Andrew alone without any suitcase. Hence, she was leaving without anything now. When she passed by the entrance, she turned around and paused. She looked back at Andrew, who was in the living room. Although she liked this man a lot, she also has strong dignity. At this moment, she wished that Andrew was from an ordinary family instead of an influential one. Hence, they could fit each other.”Keep this.” Chloe chased after her, pressing the check into her hands. “We won’t let you suffer any loss. You deserve it. You also need an allowance to live alone. Just keep it.””I can make money myself. Thank you.” Evelyn returned the check to her. She wasn’t willing to keep it and she couldn’t. She didn’t save Andrew for money.”Not all poor people dreamed to climb up. I didn’t know he was from a rich family when I saved him. I saved him by the instinct of being a doctor. If I had known he had from such a family that only looks upon the family background, I would have tossed him out of my house long ago.” After finishing her words, Evelyn turned away. She was always a worry-free girl. She wasn’t willing to lead a life that she must fawn on others. As Chloe said, the family backgrounds of her and Andrew were too different. Even if she could tell Andrew now that she wanted to be with him, she couldn’t accept that others would look at her in disdain. All Evelyn wanted was equality. Even she was from a poor family, she hoped to be respected. She hadn’t met his parents yet, but his uncle’s wife had already looked down upon her. She didn’t have the confidence or courage to meet her family. Chloe was standing at the door, frowning. For a moment, she was in a panic, wondering if Evelyn didn’t accept it because the money was too little. She returned to the house. Andrew felt the movements from the door. He asked gingerly, “Evelyn?””It’s me.” Chloe walked in. “Andrew, I’ll make the herb soup for you.”As she spoke, she picked up the bag that Evelyn put on the sofa, in which there were herbs. She could make the herb soup by putting it into the pot. At this moment, she guessed that she might have gone too far. She shouldn’t have said such harsh words. However, Andrew couldn’t see at all. He hadn’t met Evelyn face-to-face at all. Chloe didn’t believe that ???.???e(l)??o??.??(m)he would like Evelyn. She still felt that Evelyn must have played dirty tricks on Andrew. Hence, she felt less guilty. Andrew didn’t hear Evelyn’s voice, so he asked, “Where is Evelyn?”
