The man paused.
Nora pointed at his hand, and reminded him gently, “Don’t forget to apply medicine to the wound!”
“And be careful on the road.”
Kingsley ignored her coldly. He suddenly felt moved as he closed the door. Was it because of this woman’s care?
She loved money and was greedy for fame, always scheming everything. She was completely different from who she was when they first met. The caring and gentleness that she had shown were just tricks to deceive him to invest more money in her mother’s hospital. There was nothing to care about.
As the door closed, Nora lay on the pillow and sighed softly. Her main task now was to keep Kingsley, her creditor, happy and work hard to make money. If Kingsley became tired of this game some day, she would have to make plans for her own future.
A few minutes later, her phone rang. It was an incoming call from Jonathan Blake.
“Hey Nora, are you short of money lately?”
Nora snorted, “I’m always short of money.”
“Okay, so our crew is recruiting extras. Do you want to give it a try? The salary is decent.”
Jonathan was one of her friends that could be trusted. He was three years younger than Nora. Due to a tragedy in his family, she dropped out of school when he was fifteen-year-old and began to work. Now he worked as a part-time in the crew.
Nora thought of it for a while. Sadly, she would be out of a job for an entire month, so she said, “Sure, when?”
“Next week, the specific time was to be decided, I will tell you later!”
“No problem, I will call you then.”
On Friday, Nora checked out of the hospital by herself, and she went home to clean up her stuff. She also bought a silk scarf, which was part of a unique ethnic customs, for Kingsley’s mother when passing by the mall.
Kingsley’s mother was called Anna Pearl, and she loved collecting some exquisite handmade products, especially the ones with distinctive ethnic characteristic.
Born in a rich family, she was well educated and never had never suffered. The hardest time for her was the period in which Barton Baxter, her husband, committed suicide in prison. Her hairs became gray overnight and was almost was out of her mind with grief. Fortunately, she made it through in the end.
Now her dreams were basically fulfilled. Her son was also married, and what she wanted was a healthy grandchild.
In the evening, Kingsley came home to pick Nora up.
Since she was going to meet Kingsley’s mother, Nora dressed up nicely. She wore a light blue embroidered shirt, with skirt that was half blue and half yellow. Her skin was pure and impeccable. With only a light makeup, she already looked extremely gorgeous.
She was a classic beauty. In addition to her beautiful face, she also had a perfect body shape as well as an outstanding temperament. Her face was small but looked clean, the type that the elders favored.
Kingsley’s gaze stayed on her face for a few seconds before sneering lightly, “Remember what I told you!”
Nora thought for a moment and then said, “Of course, I wouldn’t say anything that shouldn’t be said. By the way, I bought a gift for your mother.”
She looked happy today, and her tone was brisk.
One of the main reasons that Kingsley married her was to please his mother, so she had to choose her words carefully.
The man just sneered after hearing that, “Aren’t you tired of pleasing the others?”
Nora ignored his criticism and said righteously, “This is my filial piety. Since you have no time to be with your mother, she is always alone. I will spend more time with her and buy her some gifts to make her happy.”
“Then should I be thankful to you?”
The answer was positive for Nora, but she answered hypocritically, “It’s just my responsibility.”
The man snorted with disdain. What an eloquent woman. Sooner or later he would have her mouth shut.
When they got in the car, Kingsley fastened his seat belt and asked, “Have you found a job yet?”
