"Jasmine, tell me everything. What exactly happened?" Tessa asked.
"This is Anne Granger, my neighbor from the place I'm renting."
Jasmine let out a deep, weary sigh, her eyes brimming with sympathy. "Anne lost both her parents and has been relying on her older brother ever since. He started working at a young age to support her education, but—"
Her eyes started to shimmer with tears of sympathy as she picked up from where she left off. "Not long ago, Anne was diagnosed with leukemia. She had to drop out of school to begin treatment. In an effort to cover her mounting medical expenses, her brother Lucas took on grueling shifts at the factory, sometimes working over ten hours a day..."
As Jasmine spoke, Anne, who had just calmed down, suddenly broke into tears again.
"My brother had been pushing himself too hard. He was exhausted, and he didn't realize how badly his body was deteriorating. While working, he got his hand caught in a machine. Now, he's lost his entire right hand..."
Anne's sobs grew louder, her voice trembling. "I... I..."
Jasmine gently patted Anne's back. "Ms. Yates, Lucas is currently receiving treatment at the hospital. This is clearly a workplace injury, but the factory is refusing to compensate him. His boss gave him two months' salary and then fired him on the spot.
"They haven't provided any of the benefits he's entitled to—no lump-sum disability compensation, no medical benefits for the injury, and no assistance for re-employment."
Anne wept bitterly. "I know I don't have much time left… but Lucas still has his whole life ahead of him. He spent everything he had on my treatment, and now… now, he can't even pay for his own hospital bills. Ms. Yates, please… help us."
Tessa's heart tightened with sympathy, her expression softening. "I understand. Don't cry, okay? Can you take me to the hospital to see Lucas?"
"Yes, of course!" Anne nodded quickly. "I'll take you there right away."
…
Meanwhile, over at Marina Apartment, the real estate agent, dressed in a sharp black suit, was in the midst of her question.
"So, Mr. Gomez, what do you think of this?"
After showing Zachary several apartments in the building, the agent could tell by his expression that this one was his top choice.
Zachary slid his hands into his pockets, scanning the space. After a moment, he gave a slight nod. "This one will do."
The agent's face lit up, and he quickly pulled out the contract. "Would you like to sign it now?"
"Yes."
"Excellent!" The agent handed over the paperwork.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
Whats wrong with the typing?? There a lot of weird words...
More frequent updates please...
