Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 450

As Hannah's question hung in the air, I mulled over what to do.

Staring at the pile of items, I couldn't help but think Hazel must have forgotten she had these tucked away in her purse.

If she ever remembered, it would scare the living daylights out of her.

With her character of valuing money as much as life, if she realizes that she has entrusted the location of her treasured possessions to me, she could even leap out of her sickbed to come after me.

Not that I'm scared of her, but I do feel a pang of guilt going up against an elderly lady.

Hannah eyed me intently, "Allie, what are you thinking? You're not considering giving it all back, are you?"

I let out a half-laugh, and Hannah stamped her foot, "Come on, don't you go soft on her. That old woman, has she ever done a single nice thing for you?"

I shot her a glance and drawled, "You're right, of course, but..."

I paused to ponder, and Hannah immediately pressed, "But what?"

"But, we can't keep it here any longer!" I said, looking at her. "We need to move it to another bank."

Hannah snapped her fingers and raised an eyebrow, "Smart move!"

Without further ado, Hannah and I packed up the items and went to handle the storage unit's cancellation. With Hazel's ID in my possession, I was effectively the proxy, and the process was smooth.

Before leaving, I double-checked the Hazel’s bank card. To my amazement, it had a hefty balance.

I was baffled. Was Hazel really that confused? This had to be all she owned. Why would she just hand it over to me? Her action was truly beyond my comprehension.

I recalled the look in her eyes when she handed me the stuff at the hospital. I really couldn't grasp her meaning when she insisted, "Take it, it's yours! Use the money..."

I knew she meant for me to use the money to buy Evan a grave, but what about 'take it'? Especially since she included her ID. She had to be aware of that, right?

When she saw me with the wallet, her expression seemed relieved.
