After a long silence, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
"I understand. I won't contact her anymore."
Only then did Eleanor let out a faint sigh of relief.
However, the moment she walked out the door, the phone on Felix's nightstand buzzed.
Seeing the name on the screen, he hesitated for a few seconds before finally answering it.
"Felix..."
As soon as the call connected, Cynthia's sobbing voice drifted through the speaker.
"Cynthia? Why are you crying?"
Felix immediately grew frantic.
Cynthia sniffled miserably. "Felix, I really can't hold on anymore... My dad and the others were framed and thrown in jail, and now everyone is blaming me. Even the Zane family refuses to help me anymore..."
"I have absolutely nothing left. What's the point of even living?"
"Don't say that!"
Felix panicked, struggling to sit up in bed, only to inhale sharply from the searing pain.
Hearing his voice, Cynthia cried even harder.
"Felix, you don't need to worry about me anymore. I don't want to drag you down. Just pretend you never met me. I won't ever bother you again..."
With that, she made as if to hang up.
"Wait!"
Panic seized Felix's chest.
Thinking of Cynthia's desperate situation, he completely threw his mother's warning out the window and hurriedly said, "Cynthia, don't do anything stupid! You still have me!"
Cynthia's sobbing paused.
"But... your mom hates me, and your grandmother despises me. I really don't know what to do anymore..."
"They just misunderstand you!"
Felix clenched his jaw. "Don't worry, I'll find a way to convince them. I'll make them see what a kindhearted woman you truly are. Once I win back my grandmother's trust, I promise I'll give you the grandest wedding and officially marry you!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's real!"
Listening to her pitiful cries, Felix finally made a reckless decision and transferred every last cent of his personal funds to her account.
"Take this money for now and use it to get through this crisis. Leave everything else to me."
Cynthia was so moved she wept uncontrollably.
"Felix, thank you... I knew it. You're the only person in this world who truly treats me well."
