Chapter 37
May straightened her back and stood at attention.
_____“I’m listening-
Edwin pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers
“Look into the person who donated their comeas to me back in the day
“Comeas?” May looked into his eyes.
She knew that Edwin had problems with his eyes and had his comeas replaced. She formed her next sentence carefully.
“It may not be possible to find out anything after all this time.”
Edwin mused slightly,
When he first went blind, he couldn’t use regular corneas because of his medical condition, and he couldn’t find a suitable donor. At one point, he had resigned himself to being blind for the rest of his life.
Then one day, out of the blue, a donor was found. Not only did they not take any money, they didn’t even leave their name,
Just look into it. He said,
He kept score on grudges, and he was also not willing to owe anyone any favors, much less an anonymous perMON.
May stopped resisting and replied, “I’ll get on iL”
Edwin turned and left
May stared at his receding figure, her eyes betraying deep–running emotions.
It wasn’t until someone tapped her on the shoulder that she snapped out of it.
Turning back to see who it was, May suddenly blushed. She looked like a deer caught in headlights.
“What are you looking at.
She averted her gaze in a panic, not daring to make eye contact “Nothing. I was just thinking
“Really? It looked like you might have a crush on Edwin-
“I would never come between you and Mr. Stanley May waved her hands in the air as if to physically dispel the idea.
The person in front of her was no other than Tilda.
Tilda covered her mouth and let out a laugh. “I was just messing with you, you don’t have to look so frightened.”
May observed her intently. There wasn’t a trace of any ill will on Tilda’s face. She was secretly relieved then and believed Tilda had really just been joking.
“So then what brings you here?”
In a black outfit and sunglasses, only the lower half of Tilda’s face could be seen. At this time of night, it was obvious that she had dressed this way deliberately.
“I was a little worried about Edwin, so I came over to check on him. Her voice was warm and sweel
May smiled victoriously. “Don’t worry, Mr. Stanley agreed to drop the matter regarding Sharon and the owner of Bisney Entertainment.”
She patted Tilda’s arm and continued, “Mr. Stanley only listens to you, after all. He wouldn’t have been able to swallow his pride otherwise, and who knows what lengths he would go to get back at the owner. When two powerful people go against each other, the outcome is unpredictable. I was concerned it would turn out to be a four-Jose situation in the end”
Tilda lowered her head slightly and sighed in relief. “That’s good then?
Although Sharon had shown proof that Irene was not the biological child of Edwin, “Tilda was not reassuril. She recalled something that Edric had
told her.
He’d said that Bay once saver Sharon during a lizzand, and even brought her to the hospital.

Chapter 37
At that time, Sharon was two months pregnant.
If she had a miscarriage then, there was no way Ray wouldn’t have known, nor would he have kept in from Edwin.
Edric had told her
r this out of frustration towards Ray. He thought Ray should have just left her to die in the cold.
Tilda, however, was not entirely convinced and still had some reservations. She had a nagging feeling that Irene may actually be Edwin’s daughter.
She couldn’t shake off this feeling no matter what she told herself. She was too jittery waiting for updates so she had come in the middle of the
night to see for herself,
“Mr. Stanley even instructed me not to mention the two of them from now on, so there’s no cause for concem anymore.” She squeezed Tilda’s hand. “Mr. Stanley is yours, and yours only.”
May added a final comment. “I hope you’ll continue to look out for me, Mrs. Stanley.”
Tilda giggled at this, but while she was overjoyed at the thought, she disagreed bashfully. “Don’t call me that nothing’s set in stone yet.
“What do you mean! Mr. Stanley has always been there for you. He’s always accommodated your every request. It’s only a matter of time before the both of you get married May was optimistic about their relationship.
Tilda frowned slightly.
“May, why do you think Edwin is so nice to me
She hadn’t thought about it before, taking Edwin’s affection for granted. As time passed though, she gradually came to wonder.
“It’s not absurd, you know, You’re attractive and have a voice like a nightingale, if I were a man, you’d be my type too. May answered logically.
Is that so!
Tilda considered May’s reasoning for a moment but was unable to draw a conclusion.
She gave up on thinking.
