Winnie Chambers sat on the freezing chair of the hospital, feeling miserable and sad.
Her father died in a car accident, and her mother was dying for many of her organs got injured. Though her sister did not hurt much, she got fainted by the bloody scene and now was still in coma.
It was identified that her father should take full liability of the accident, and Winnie should compensate for the dead driver and an injured man.
Winnie broke down by this sudden hit, however, it was not the worst.
Her father’s company went bankruptcy and carried debts. The creditor came to the hospital and insisted not let Winnie go after having learnt the news that her father had died.
Helpless, Winnie stood in stu. And at this time, the nurse came over.
“Miss Chambers, please pay for the hospital charges for your mother and sister, or we will stop the treatment.”
“Ok, ok, I will figure a way out.”
Only the hospital charges made her helpless, let alone the compensation for the dead and the debts her father owed. Even if she sold herself, it would be of no use.
Though it was hard, she had to try her best effort to find a way out. No one was willing to help her, and the only person she could think of was Leo Johnson.
“Leo…”
She called her boyfriend’s name, but she didn’t know what to say next.
“What is it?”
Leo’s voice came over the phone.
“My mother is sick, and I am in urgent of money, I…”
Regardless her struggle in heart, she put her dignity behind and told him her difficulties. But before she could finish her words, Leo’s cold voice was heard.
“Money? Do you want to borrow money or cheat me on money?”
“Cheat you on money? Leo, what do you mean?”
Leo’s words made her feel cold on blood.
What had she done? Why would Leo think she was a cheater?
“Stop that, you have showed your true face, but you are still playing a show. Winnie, you are shameless that you ever curse your mother to dead for money.”
“I…I don’t know what you are talking about, I did not…”
Her words were interrupted again.
“Winnie, what else shameless requirement do you have? Who else do you want to curse? Let me tell you, even if your families all dead, I will not lend a penny to you.”
It looked like that Leo was angry, but his angry was ironic to Winnie. It seemed that Leo had already known what had happened to her family, even the person she loved now wanted to get rid of her.
But her situation did not allow her to be arrogant, no matter what, she had to have Leo helped her.
“I…”
However, before she was to ask for help regardless of her dignity, there was a sweet female voice came from the phone.
“Honey, I have had the bath water ready. It will get cold you don’t take a bath now.”
“Hurry up, I am waiting for you in the bathroom.”
The voice was sweet enough to melt a person’s heart, but Winnie felt cold on her, this voice…
“Leo, you…”
“It doesn’t matter if you have heard it. I was going to tell you about it anyway. Don’t be proud you deceived me, I don’t love you anyway.”
Leo’s words made her feel cold as if it had sent her in prison.
“Did she tell you that I am a cheater?”
