I just sighed and shook my head. “Yes, without work, I won’t be able to pay Dimitri’s hospital bills.” Scarlet thought.I went to the bathroom and took a bath. After taking a bath, I got dressed, wore my eyeglasses and blow dried my hair. I was looking at herself in front of the mirror as I tied my hair up to a messy bun.

Mrs. Lee was holding his hand and smiled at him while crying. “My son, please don’t speak too much. I am just here.” Mrs. Lee responded.“Heart?! Your back! You are bleeding as well!” Annie panicked as she was looking at Heart’s back. Heart’s eyes widened and touched her back by her arm without turning around.
