Chapter 758

“Is that you, Ms. Glynnis Abernathy?”

In a foreign land, the sound of a familiar accent cut through the air, causing Glynnis to slowly stifle her sobs. Her face, swollen from tears, lifted gradually.

The man standing before her was dressed sharply in a suit, yet he was a stranger to her.

“How do you know me?”

Desperation overtook her dignity as Glynnis fell to her knees before him, hands clasped as if in prayer, tears streaming down her face.

“You’re here to help me on my father’s behalf, aren’t you?! Please, take me back to Elmsworth. I can’t stand another day in this godforsaken place! I’m sick, terribly sick! If I don’t get help soon, I’m not going to make it! How can my own father leave me to die?!”

The man’s expression remained impassive, “I’m sorry, Ms. Glynnis Abernathy, I am not sent by your father.”

Glynnis fell back to the ground, her face a tapestry of disappointment and despair.

“However, someone would like to meet you.”

Glynnis had no strength left to question further; her spirit was broken. Pulling herself up, she followed the man to a luxurious car waiting nearby.

As the car door opened, the first thing Glynnis saw was a pair of exquisite silver satin high heels, the ankles slender and pristine.

She thought of her own ragged attire and shrank back in self–consciousness. Those heels were once her favorite brand too. Now, all she could do was look on with envy.

“Ms. Glynnis Abernathy, please get in,” the man said with an easy tone.

Glynnis, summoning her courage, got into the car.

The elegant woman seated inside, unexpectedly clad in a white lab coat, greeted her with a warm and comforting smile. Glynnis felt an instant affinity towards her.
