Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 62 Girlfriend, Mine

However, that won’t really work either. The villa is a huge property, so the creditors will know once it changes hands. At that time, the money will probably be snatched off by them before it could be used for Lizbeth’s treatment. While I feel obliged to ensure that she gets treatment, I’m not obligated to repay Zane’s debts on his behalf. After turning it over in her mind, Stella decided that she could only take out a loan first before paying it back in the future.

Alaric tried his best to secure some funds, but he could only manage 20,000, and that included his retirement funds.

Stella turned to her father for a loan, but her father’s reply was very simple: “A loan for your ex-mother-in-law to undergo treatment? Does she have the ability to pay me back?” He didn’t sound the slightest bit sympathetic, casting her aside when she’d served her purpose.

She ruminated on it, but she couldn’t think of anyone who could lend her such a huge sum of money at once except Miles. But it’s a million! How am I supposed to blurt it out? It’ll be great if he’s willing to lend me the money, but if otherwise, how am I to interact with him henceforth? As she pondered, her cell phone dinged with a WhatsApp message. Surprisingly, it was from Miles. ‘Come to my office after work.’ Inwardly, she mused, Why is he asking me to go to his office?

After work, she went to his office. “You’re short of money?” Miles queried.

“How did you know that?” Stella exclaimed.

“How much do you need?” Miles asked without answering her question.

“About a million in total. As you know, a cancer patient—” Stella wanted to explain further to prove that she wasn’t simply asking for a million.

However, Miles had already issued a check on his table. “Take this. Tell me if you need more.”

Stella was bamboozled. Isn’t this just too simple? She’d thought that he would chide her for being nosy to interfere in her ex-husband’s mother’s affairs and take out a loan for her, but he didn’t say anything. This had her feeling all the more bewildered. To her surprise, the figure indicated on the check was 1.2 million. He gave me an extra 200,000!

She felt rather touched, and she finally understood why so many women were eager to marry an affluent man. It doesn’t seem like anything during easy times, but once an illness befalls, it’s truly timely help. “Thank you. I’ll pay you back,” she said courteously.

“Pay me back? How are you going to pay me back?” Miles questioned intriguingly as he lifted his head.

what she’d said. It was simply a token utterance when she said she’d pay him back earlier. It stood to reason that a debt was to be repaid, so it’d reassure the person even if one couldn’t repay the debt for the time being. But on second thought, a million is tantamount
