Chapter 341 A Silver Lining in an Unfortunate Life
The woman hesitated for a while, but in the end, she nodded and said, “Alright. Thank you so much! I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to repay you!”
Her eyes pooled with tears. It had been ages since she last met people as kind as Willow and Caspian.
“Sylvia, help her into the car. We’ll head over to Southlake Hospital right away,” Caspian
instructed.
Over at Southlake Hospital, the hospital director, Abel Hardison, received a call from Sylvia. He immediately made all the necessary arrangements.
Then, he waited at the hospital entrance to receive them in person.
All of Southlake City heard about Caspian’s heroic act at the hospital some time ago. Furthermore, Willow was the CEO of Southlake Corporation.
Since the couple was coming over to the hospital, Abel felt obligated to greet them in person.
When the Rolls–Royce Phantom pulled up in front of the hospital, it drew the eyes of many.
Once Caspian and Willow got out of the car, Abel walked up to them and greeted, “It’s good to see you, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Stewart.”
He gave them a crinkle–eyed smile.
As the CEO of a major conglomerate, Willow always drew a crowd wherever she went.
“How thoughtful of you to greet us in person, Dr. Hardison,” Caspian said with a smile.
Abel was honored by Caspian’s courteous manner.
Meanwhile, Willow slowly helped the woman out of the car.
“Take it slow, Madam Upton,” Willow reminded kindly.
During the ride to the hospital, Willow had spoken to the woman and found out her name was
Cora Upton.
Cora worked as a street cleaner in Southlake City. She was a widow raising an intellectually disabled daughter alone. For the sake of her daughter’s treatment, she had no choice but to
borrow money from Diego.
Alas, Diego was an unreasonable and sly man.
He lent 20 thousand dollars to Cora with an extremely high interest rate. In just three months, 20 thousand dollars had ballooned into 150 thousand dollars!

Cora could not afford to repay such a large sum.
She only earned a little over one thousand dollars a month as a street cleaner.
Diego and his men did not care about that, of course. Since she did not pay back, they started beating her up.
Having heard Cora’s story, Caspian got the gist of the situation.
“Hello. I’m Dr. Hardison, the hospital director,” Abel warmly greeted as he shook Cora’s hand.
“Nice to meet you,” Cora replied a little dazedly.
She was certainly not someone that the director of a major hospital would greet with such
courtesy.
Nevertheless, she knew that Caspian and Willow were both genuinely good–hearted people.
“I’ve arranged the best doctor and hospital room for you. Please come with me,” Abel said
with a smile.
Cora underwent a full body checkup. Thankfully, she only sustained external injuries. All she needed was a few days of rest.
Lying on the hospital bed, Cora clutched Willow’s hand and cried out emotionally, “If it hadn’t been for you guys today, I would’ve died! Thank you so much. You’re both such kind people!”
Tears streamed down her face.
“Stay here and get some rest, Madam Upton. We still have some matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave now,” Caspian said.
He took Willow’s hand and was about to leave when Cora called out worriedly, “Um, about the hospital fees…
She was the CEO of Southlake Corporation, and the company had been expanding rapidly. Thus, she felt it was her duty to help the people of Southlake City as well. Now that she met someone in need of help, she was naturally going to lend a hand.
