Her vision darkened, and her head felt dizzy.
Looking at them like this, they seem to have reconciled. If that was the case, Cecilia would have known
that Sue had lied to her!
Sue didn’t want to have any rift between her and Cecilia, so she was panicked for a moment.
After calming down, she walked towards Noel and asked, “Cecilia, what’s going on?”
There were tears running down Cecilia’s cheeks. In fact, she didn’t know why she was crying. She had
no urge to cry on the entire way back to her home.
She just kept staring at the back of Noel’s head, greedily breathing the air in the same space as him.
At that moment, she seemed to have forgotten Larry and how he had forcibly taken off her clothes in the
bathroom. She had even forgotten how the man had placed his hands on her lap and rubbed it.
She had felt nauseous. She had wanted to throw up. There was also a suffocating feeling that made her
heart ache terribly.
So, she could only cry.
Seeing her daughter crying like this, Sue panicked.
She was already feeling guilty. This time, she didn’t hesitate anymore. She stepped aside for Noel, and
said politely, “Thank you.”
Noel walked ahead while Sue followed behind.
She probably saw Cecilia’s exposed legs.
In this season, some young women had already started wearing skirts.
However, Cecilia always said she would wear pants for a while longer to protect her knees.
At that time, Sue laughed at her for not feeling hot.
But now, Cecilia had nothing on her legs, with only Noel’s shirt wrapped around her.
Sue’s heart grew colder at the implication.
When they arrived at Cecilia’s room, Sue wanted to ask something, but Cecilia held Noel’s hand.
“Don’t leave, okay?”
Her eyes were wide and innocent, and Noel’s heart skipped a beat.
Quickly, he looked away and politely pulled the blanket over her. “Me staying here won’t help.”
He still needed to deal with that bastard Larry.
After a moment of thought, Noel changed his mind.
He looked at Sue. “Mrs. Jarvis. Can we have a word?”
Cecilia was still crying. She held Noel’s hand, and refused to let go.
“Sure.”
Sue first crouched down, whispering a few words to Cecilia. Whatever Cecilia said to Sue caused the
latter’s expression to change. When Sue stood again, she couldn’t maintain her usual graceful smile.
“Noel.” Just as they stepped out, Sue grabbed Noel’s arm, and pleaded,” Please don’t tell anyone what
happened with Cecilia today.”
Cecilia’s previous illness was already too much to handle.
And this time…
Thinking about what Cecilia had just whispered in her ear, Sue felt uncomfortable. She handed a check
to Noel, shaking.
“Here is one hundred and fifty thousand. Please, don’t tell anyone.”
Noel chuckled as he accepted it. “You’re quite generous, Mrs. Jarvis. Whether I accept it or not, I’ll be
seen as taking the money in the end anyway.”
He sneered. “Since that’s the case, I’ll take this money.”
Sue couldn’t hide the embarrassment on her face.
She approached Noel. “Before… When you didn’t take the money, you didn’t tell Cecilia, did you?”
Noel shook his head. “No.”
She didn’t believe him. Whether he said it or not was now meaningless.
Sue spoke with uncertainty, “Mr. Carter…”
Before she could continue, Noel interrupted her, “Mrs. Jarvis, the person who harassed Cecilia is still at
his own home. Here’s his address. You can send someone over and handle it as you wish.”
He waved the check in his hand. “As for this money, consider it my reward for saving her today.”
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Sue became anxious. “No, you can’t!”
She held onto Noel, clearly unsure how to articulate her request.
“Mr. Carter.”
She had never begged anyone like this in her life, especially not someone she had humiliated not long
ago.
Noel raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.
