She knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. No matter how cruel Adeline's heart was, it was made of flesh. She let out a long breath and took out a bank card from her bag.

"There's about thirty thousand in this card. You can rent a house yourself."

Piper refused to accept the card and pleaded, "Can I live with you? My image has taken a big hit after this happened. There must be a lot of radical fans. I'm afraid they'll come and hit me from where I live."

"No!" Adeline refused without a second thought that she couldn't be found out about living with Felix.

Piper would ask for more, but she held her back: "There's no room for negotiation on this matter. I'll give you some more money. You choose a neighborhood with good security facilities. Piper, I can only help you this far."

After she finished speaking, she forced the card into her hand, and Piper held her hand in a panic: "Adeline, I was thoughtless just now, we... Can we still be friends? I really know I was wrong! '

Her eyes were full of pleading and guilt, and the hurt on her face made it impossible to say no. Adeline hesitated for a moment and gently patted her hand: "If you can get better, then let's talk!"

Adeline was gone, and Piper looked at the card in her hand, gritting her teeth and almost breaking it with her fingers.

"At least there are tens of thousands of dollars. Don't really lose them!" Frank came out of the inner room at some point and leaned lazily against the doorframe.

As soon as Piper saw him, she felt extremely aggrieved: "You're still making fun of me here. I'm so groveling for you, and you actually hit me!"

She felt hatred as she touched her swollen cheeks.

Frank walked over and held her face: "There's no way, the wounds on the body can be put on makeup, the wounds on the face can't be fake anymore, Piper, as long as you manage to get close to Adeline, find out that the man beside her is Felix, take pictures of their unclean evidence, HMPH... Then they're all over!"

Piper was a little timid: "Frank , according to the hotel boss, that man should be Felix. Are we thinking it would be too dangerous to deal with him?"

"What are you afraid of? The higher Felix's position, the more sensational the scandal will be when it breaks out. How can we stop now that he has been so badly hurt? Piper, you must try to soften Adeline's heart. If you succeed, I'll marry you!"

Piper's eyes lit up. This was her ultimate dream. Even though Frank was an illegitimate child of House of Andreas, an illegitimate child is better than an ordinary second-generation rich kid.

She nodded excitedly: "I know, you can rest assured."

Since then, Piper has often called Adeline, asking about her health and giving her gifts and clothes. Although Adeline didn't really want to see her, she couldn't resist her persistence and gradually became familiar with her.

"Adeline, spring is coming to an end soon. Shall we go to the mall and buy two summer clothes?" Piper's voice was exceptionally sweet on the phone.

Adeline has been looking at some legal cases recently to prepare for a trial a week later. The cases are dull and she is indeed a bit dull.

"Ok, which mall, see you later!"

E National Guang 'ai Hospital.

Felix waited outside the operating room, his eyes involuntarily glancing at his phone from time to time.

It's been five days since he left Jincheng, and she, as his wife, hasn't received a single inquiry call.

Was it because she was too confident in him, or because she didn't care about him at all?

He had little concern for him, but this little wife, who had been with him for less than a month, could make him care so much by accident.

He held back the urge to make the call, but the face that smiled so brightly and brightly came to his mind.

Perhaps he just liked the way she smiled. After all, it was so important to his almost dry and icy heart!

But that out-of-control self also made him feel uncomfortable and distressed.

He turned off the phone and closed his eyes a little tired.

"Mr. Felix, Miss Xenia is awake and says she wants to see you." Grant cautioned from the side.

Felix looked at the door of the ward and asked rather aimlessly, "Did she cry?"

Grant nodded. "Yes, she was glad to know you were coming. She was so happy that she cried. I'm afraid she was waiting for you, Mr. Felix, to comfort her."

Felix hummed in response, and a strange sense of restlessness welled up in his heart: "Book the fastest flight back to Jincheng for me in half an hour."

Grant couldn't help but be surprised: "Is Mr. Felix not going to spend more days with Miss Xenia?"

He used to stay for two more days to take care of her mood after her condition had improved, but now he has to leave right away.

"You're talking too much!" Felix sneered and walked into the ward.

Grant was completely at a loss. What did he say wrong?

Wanlong Mall.

It was already dark when Adeline arrived, and Piper had been waiting in front of the mall for a long time. As soon as she saw her coming, she smiled brightly and affectionately linked her arm: "I thought you wouldn't come and scared me to death!"

Her pitiful look of being worried and afraid that she would abandon her made Adeline feel a little sad. She gently held her hand and said, "What nonsense are you? Since I promised you, I will not go back on my word."

Piper's eyes welled up with emotion, and when she went to the second floor to sell fashion, she said generously, "Adeline, you choose any one and I'll give it to you as a way to thank you for helping me these days."

"No need. You're short of money now. Spend whatever you want on yourself. I'm not short of anything."

Adeline's words, as a friend, were meant for her, but to Piper, it was a sarcastic remark about her being out of date and having no money, and perhaps the salesperson here heard it too, which was an insult to her self-esteem.

She forced the corner of her mouth and said, "Since I want to give it to you, it means I have the ability to afford it. Just accept me as a friend."

Adeline would say more, and Piper had already waved away: "I'll go and see the clothes over there, and you take your time to browse around."

She went straight to the area where the supervisor was, and spoke through the compartments of the clothes.

A dozen minutes later Piper shouted to Adeline in the distance, "Adeline, do you see what you like?"

Adeline shook her head, considering how she could have really wanted clothes in her situation.

She waved at her and said, "I do like one. Come and have a look for me."

Adeline immediately went over and saw that it was a little pink dress, somewhat like a school uniform. Piper's skin was darker, and wearing this little girl's tender pink, to be honest...

"I think you might try a different color from the same collection," she said tactfully.

The manager looked disdainful: "Miss Adeline, this is a new limited edition from the Cristiano family. We have only one in the entire Jin City, let alone any from the same series."

This is to accuse her of having no taste.

Piper was secretly pleased, then looked at Adeline pitifully: "Adeline, do you really think I'm not a good fit, but I like it so much!"
