Chapter 120


Tessa stood in the middle of the howling wind. The tip of her nose had already turned red from the biting cold. Her heart squeezed painfully.

Anne was only 11 years old, yet her life was already coming to an end. For the sake of his sister, Lucas had dropped out of school early, choosing instead to work to earn money to pay off her medical bills. Now that he was crippled, his ability to work had been taken from him. He had only just turned 19.

The silence stretched on for a long time.

Tessa pulled out her phone and placed a call. "Contact a few hematologist- oncologists for me. Also, come over to Eastview Hospital on Brighton Street. We'll arrange for a hospital transfer for a pair of siblings."

After leaving the hospital, Tessa left for the law firm to organize the information for Lucas' case. When the Social Security Administration opened on Monday, she would bring Lucas to file for a workplace injury assessment.

Tessa was swamped with work for the whole afternoon. She was so busy that she forgot that she promised Stephen to meet up with him at night.
