No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 197



Speaking without thinking, that's a real problem.

As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized I'd stepped in it big time. I was scrambling to think of a way to smooth things over when Ernest just said, "Okay."

Wait, what? He agreed? Just like that? No making a fuss to save face? No macho refusal to borrow money from me?

But Ernest didn't refuse. He must really be strapped for cash. He probably really wants to get his sister the help she needs. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the guy.

That feeling flashed by, and I immediately knew it was out of place. I cleared my throat, "Has your sister seen a doctor? If you have any medical records, give them to me. I might know someone who can help."

"Sure," he agreed.

Well, that left me with nothing more to say. So, I got up, saying, "Thanks for today. I'm heading out."

He looked at me, replying, "If you're feeling unwell again, give me a call."

"Yeah, sure," I replied with a smile, turning around and letting out a silent sigh of relief.
