Chapter 240 An Awful Family
Cynthia came out of the hospital. Looking at the resignation in her arms, she felt a sense of loss.
Helen was by her side.
“Do you really want to do this?”
Being a doctor was Cynthia’s dream. She had put in so much effort to become a good doctor, but she just gave up. It was a pity.
She sighed and looked at Helen with a smile, “I will come back. Alston is not here now. I have to guard the company for him. When he comes back, I will return to the hospital. We will work together again.”
Cynthia changed the topic, “Have I told you that Keller can say ‘papa‘ recently? She and Desmond are like two little ducks following me. Haha…”
Looking at her delicate little face full of smiles, Helen’s nose was sour.
Five days passed, and they still didn’t find Alston. Many people have given up hope for it. When she and Dylan talked about it, they didn’t dare to imagine what had happened to Alston.
The cliff was so high and the forest was so big. People said that there were many wild animals in the mountain.
It was best he got rescued. If not, it was too dangerous to be in the forest for so many days.
Helen raised her hand and touched Cynthia’s head, “If you need anything, just ask. Dylan and I will try our best to help you.”
Cynthia lowered her head. She hugged Helen tightly and said in a muffled voice, “Okay!”
Greg was busy collecting all kinds of information about the company for her, and she was not idle either. Before Lily died, she said that she was going to get married soon. Both of her parents died, her only family was her fiancé.
Cynthia took a check for one million dollars to Lily’s fiancé’s house.
It was a very ordinary community. According to the information she found, Lily’s fiancé’s family was all teachers. Although they were not rich and powerful, they lived a well–to–do life.
She and Bill rang the doorbell. After a long time, she heard someone running over from the room. A serious, shrewd middle–aged woman opened the door, wearing plastic gloves on her hands. She was doing laundry.
“Who are you? What are you doing at my house?” She looked warily at Cynthia and Bill.
Cynthia smiled, “Hi, I’m Lily’s friend, and this is…”
“I don’t know Lily. You are looking for the wrong person!” Her expression changed immediately, and she pushed Cynthia.
Bill hurried forward and separated the two. He looked at the woman hostilely.
The woman restrained her attitude a little. She said tensely, “Lily has delayed my son for so many years. She is dead, and our family has nothing to do with her. We don’t have such a shameless daughter–in–law.”
Cynthia knew that Lily’s fiancé’s family didn’t like her, but she still couldn’t help getting angry when she heard her words.
“I know you don’t like Lily, but she has passed away. I hope you can show some kindness! Don’t slander her reputation.”
“Am I wrong?” The woman sneered, “People said that Lily slept with several traffickers. How could such a dirty woman marry my son? To be honest, I’m glad she committed suicide!”
Cynthia said sharply, “Shut up! Lily was coerced. You have no right to insult her. Now she has gone. A living life is gone. She was your son’s closest person in this world. How dare you insult her!”
The woman shrugged and said, “Anyway, our family has nothing to do with her. Don’t come to us again! My son and her girlfriend are coming back soon. I don’t want his girlfriend to hear her name!”
“Girlfriend?!” Cynthia was shocked. Her palm pressed against the door tightly, and she stared at her, “What do you mean?”
