This would be followed by a crisp laugh that echoed through the air.Andy would occasionally defend William and say they didn't need to say such useless things. However, it seemed that they preferred to tease. Especially when there was Robert who loved to laugh at them with all kinds of gossip.

William turned off the car engine, thinking for a moment. Should he get off or not?Vera noticed William's arrival, the Ferrari car was quite conspicuous. The girl patted the thigh of the boy next to her, then she made a small run towards the car. Vera tapped on the glass. William opened the door immediately. The man put his foot on the ground and he greeted Vera. "Why don't you come down and say hello to me, instead of staying here?"William scratched the back of his head. "I thought you were busy, so it's not nice to interrupt." Vera laughed quite loudly at that. "What's busy? I was just waiting for you. Come on in." Vera took William's hand. It was an ordinary touch. They had been friends for a long time. However, for some reason tonight his heart was beating so fast, like there was something different about the

William was shocked. He stared at Vera wide-eyed, unable to believe what he had just heard. He never thought that Vera would actually like him.After the shock wore off, William felt happy."I'm sorry, Ver, that I couldn't dare to approach you. I thought... I wasn't your equal back then."Vera shook her head at William's confession. "Since when did I judge someone by their social status?"William knew that because Vera was very kind, it was impossible for her to judge someone by their social status. However, considering that there were many men who approached Vera, it was quite surprising that she said she liked William.Vera felt that the atmosphere between them was very awkward."I'd better go in first." Vera, stood up and walked slowly towards the door of her house, leaving William who was still sitting on the garden bench.William looked at Vera's back. Then, she stopped her steps.

In the hospital waiting room, the atmosphere was quiet and tense. Amanda looked at Thomas with teary eyes and a heavy heart. Her husband was lying in the operating room, his life dependent on the expensive surgery. "No, Thomas," Amanda said, her voice hoarse, "my husband's surgery is very expensive. I'm going to tell the doctor that he can have regular care until we can raise the money to help him." Thomas looked at her with sympathetic eyes. "That's okay, Aunt Amanda," he said, "I'll tell my father to help with Uncle Lyn's treatment." However, Amanda shook her head, "No, Thomas, I'll work on this myself." Thomas did not give up as he continued to try and get Vera's attention. He glanced at Vera who was sitting quietly in the corner of the room. She seemed indifferent, unaffected by the situation that was happening around them. "I'm going to catch some air," Vera said suddenly, getting up from her chair and leaving Thomas and Amanda in the waiting room. The atmosphere became even

While William was busy talking to Vera, Thomas chose to have a private conversation with Sarah elsewhere. The dim lighting and the sound of rustling leaves, as well as the occasional howl of a dog, made the atmosphere even more intimate."I thought when you asked me to come here, Vera had nothing to do with William," Thomas said, his voice heavy and filled with disappointment. He didn't expect to see William with Vera again, especially at a time like this.Sarah snorted in annoyance, her face looking tense and uncomfortable. "I don't know how he got here either." she said, her voice filled with confusion. "No one told her about Vera's father's condition."Thomas pondered, trying to find an answer to the question Sarah couldn't answer. "Maybe Vera told him herself." he suggested, his voice still calm and steady.However, Sarah wasn't convinced by that. She looked at Thomas with a doubtful gaze. "Vera previously admitted that she wouldn't tell William because she was afraid Aunt Amanda

William's expression changed instantly. Both his brows furrowed and his eyes showed clear signs of confusion.He could not use a personal name to donate to Vera and invest in Jason Lyn's small company. Was it time for William to reveal his identity?Isn't there anything he can do for Vera?When William was considering this, Evan had a rather good suggestion for the man."Sir, how about you use the company name to invest and help Vera at the same time?"William, who was splitting his concentration between driving and listening to Evan, tried to focus when he heard his personal assistant's suggestion."If you use the company name, this will be your first investment in a small company and maybe you will get help to manage it again so that it can grow rapidly." Evan added.William thought this was a pretty brilliant idea."Okay." He agreed to Evan's suggestion. "Then, you take care of everything. Use the company name to invest in Jason Lyn's business and also contribute funds for his oper

Vera's emotions are running high, upset that her mother has interrupted her conversation with William. She felt her privacy had been trampled upon. "Mom, you shouldn't be like that!" said Vera, glaring angrily at her mother. Amanda, her mother, shot back a glare. "Vera, I allowed you to be close to William all this time because I thought you were just a good girl who felt sorry for him. But, if you fall in love with him, I won't allow it!" Amanda said firmly, without a hint of doubt in her eyes. Vera was silent, her eyes staring wide at her mother. She felt that her mother didn't understand her feelings and was only acting on what she thought was right. "You're even interrupting her when she talks!" she retorted, her frustration mounting. Amanda was annoyed too. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, trying to relieve th

But, you have to promise not to fight with him!"Amanda tugged at the corner of her lips in a sardonic smile, "Hurry up, Vera!
