Female Novel
Chapter 1115
The two left behind exchanged looks, and finally, the girl managed to stammer.
"Uncle, am I dreaming? That was half a million dollars, not five or fifty."
The middle-aged man's cheeks flushed in delayed excitement as he enveloped her in a hug.
"Good girl, your acts of kindness have been rewarded!"
The man's tears streamed down his face as he spoke.
The nearby doctor sighed, "In all my years of running this clinic, I've never made that much money. You
guys are truly lucky."
The middle-aged man wiped his tears with his sleeve.
"We don't have to hide anymore, and you can continue your schooling. Don't worry, I will ensure you
get to school. Your mother can rest in peace now."
"Uncle, I might not be able to pay back half a million dollars in my entire life."
"Foolish girl, they didn't even say a word to you precisely because they were worried you'd want to pay
them back. You're a good girl, and that lady is a good person. If you ever get the chance, just thank her.
Nothing else needs to be said."
The girl nodded, watching Maja walk away.
Her uncle's sobs echoed in her ears, but warmth filled her heart.
She thought her life would plunge into deeper despair from that day onward, but her destiny had been
changed by a random act of kindness from a stranger.
She didn't have to leave Greenfield anymore. She had grown up there and didn't want to leave.
Her mother had passed away, but she had many friends who were still with her.
She would work hard to meet this lady at the top.
Maja sat in Carol's car, feeling drowsy.
Carol noticed Maja's bandaged hand and her voice shook with anxiety.
"I was searching for you along this road all night with the police, but there were too many people and
the traffic was heavy. Someone said they saw a woman being taken away, but she was pregnant. What
on earth happened to you?"
Maja forced herself to stay awake, "Carol, take me back to Rosewood Manor. I need a shower. I feel
uncomfortable."
"Alright, don't say anything else. You look extremely pale."
Carol floored the gas pedal.
Upon their arrival at Rosewood Manor, Maja was immediately surrounded by the staff.
Maria started to cry, "Ms. Pennyfeather, we are so scared. We thought something terrible hadnovelbin
happened to you."
Carol quickly intervened.
"Maria, she's not feeling well. Let her shower first and prepare some food for her."
Maria nodded and headed towards the kitchen.
Carol helped Maja upstairs.
Once in the master bedroom, Maja cut off her bulky costume with a pair of scissors and entered the
bathroom.
Carol had already filled the tub with warm water, her voice tinged with guilt.
"Maja, I'm sorry. I've been so caught up with Felix lately that I forgot to check up on you. If I'd known, I
would have stopped you from meeting Ian."
After saying this, she closed the bathroom door.
"Get a bath and relax. We can talk about the rest when you're feeling better."
True friends knew when to keep silent.
Maja was indeed exhausted. The heavy clothing and the lingering effects of the drugs in her system
made her feel sore all over. The hot bath was a relief.
Downstairs, Carol saw Maria preparing food and sighed in relief.
Maria pulled Carol aside, her voice laden with concern.
"Ms. Miller, is it true that Ms. Pennyfeather was on a business trip? She looks so tired. And why is she
wearing such strange clothes? Mr. Raymond told me she was on a business trip, but I don't believe
him. Did something happen between them?"
Every time Carol heard about Ian, she felt angry.
"Maria, if Ian ever comes to Rosewood Manor, throw him out. He's not a good man."
Maria agreed, her face showing her helplessness.
"Ms. Pennyfeather deserves someone much better. Mr. Raymond keeps breaking her heart."
The staff at Rosewood Manor liked Maja and thought Ian didn't deserve her.
On the other hand, those around Ian thought Maja didn't deserve him. Both sides were extremely
defensive of the person they were standing for.
Carol stamped her foot, "You're right. That man infuriates me. If I were a man, I would give my heart to
Maja. Last night, he even said it would be better if Maja were dead. He's absolutely heartless."
Hearing this, Maria slammed her hand on the table.
"Mr. Raymond is such a bad guy! So the rumors are true. Is he getting engaged to someone else?"
"Very likely."
Carol felt better having someone to vent her frustrations about Ian with.
