Stella recollected herself and shook Paul’s hand, saying,” Thank you very much for your support to the welfare center.”
Paul not only covered his face, but Stella also realized he was wearing gloves when she shook his hand.
She could feel that Paul’s hand was not very big. She had not met a man with such small hands before. She wondered to herself, ‘Could it be because he’s short?’ Paul said, Money is something you can’t bring with you when you die. I’m just trying to help as many people as I can before I end up on the sickbed.”
Paul spoke as if he was going to die anytime and had accepted his fate.
Stella looked at him from head to toe. He was wrapped up so tightly that the only visible part about him was his eyes.
‘But he doesn’t look very old. What a strange man.’ Stella thought to herself.
“H-Have you been well over these years?” Paul suddenly asked.
Stella was taken aback as her gaze deepened, “Do you know me?’*
Paul’s expression remained the same as if that was just a casual question, “I’ve met with your mother, Rainee Spade, a few times.”
Almost all of Rainee’s friends had attended her funeral.
Stella looked through Rainee’s contacts on her phone and told each and every one of them about her death.
However, Stella had never seen Paul.
Over the years, when Rainee stayed in the hospital, Paul never once visited her either.
‘Is it possible he could remember my mom just because he had seen her a few times?
