" Sir, thank you very much for your help. I couldn't find anything better lying around, so I'll have to borrow it from your private library," Jack ignored Edward and concentrated on Richard." If you had asked me earlier I would have lent it to you, however, I must say that I don't think you will be needing these reading materials any time soon. " Richard replied, after all, those books were really too advanced for Jack's current level." It's not for me, but for a friend. " Jack confessed. " She is so good at this part of programming that the college books are like something too easy.”" Who is she? Is she the same person who wrote the mini-game? " Richard asked curiously." Yes, it's the same person! " Jack answered promptly." Then, you have to introduce her, I need people like her in my company. " Richard said, he was really interested in the mysterious identity of this friend." No problem, at the moment she is a little involved in her own private things, but when the opportunity
" Lilih, what do you think about working in my boss's company? The benefits offered are not bad, and we can work side by side. " Jack suggested enthusiastically, he was looking forward to their future, and besides, they would be co"workers and with their combined salaries, things would finally improve." I don't pretend to understand myself with a 9 to 5 job. " Liana replied as she packed her bag ready to leave this hospital." So, what do you intend to do? " Jack was perplexed and asked." I don't know yet, all I know now is that I want to go home! " Liana said ending the subject, she stood up, grabbed her purse and headed for the exit.Jack quickly helped her carry the rest and the two of them took a bus home.After several days of recovery, Liana was feeling much better." Dad bought a whole chicken this morning to make chicken stew for us to enjoy. " On the bus, Jack spoke cheerfully, which made Liana smile thinking about her uncle's food. She didn't eat much normally, however, wh
Jack suddenly had an idea and said to the doctor: “Doctor, could you please keep the option open for us? We will give you an answer after we have talked about it," and the doctor nodded. “Sure, but if you intend to continue with the operation, remember to pay the hospital bill and the operation bill at the collection counter. I don't want to rush you, but you should know that this kind of opportunity is extremely rare. “ Yes, we know that, and thank you doctor, we will give you our answer as soon as possible!”, Jack answered, and then the doctor said goodbye and left the room, leaving only Liana and him. “Lilih, we can't miss this opportunity.”, Jack began speaking. “I'll try to talk to my professor, he said I can work for his company, and I can see about making a lifetime employment contract with him in exchange for a quick loan," Liana sat in silence looking at the unconscious Peter. “How much money do we still have in the account?”, she asked, ignoring him in reference to the j
He prayed for her safety and waited patiently for her to return, after all, that was all he could do at this moment. While Liana didn't arrive, Jack didn't rest, he was far away but at the same time, wishing all the strength in the world for Lilih, and he just turned off the cell phone alert, because he fully believed that Liana would achieve her goal. His initial agitation turned into faith, and on this night Jack matured a lot, he became more objective and firm, and he was grateful to his sister for this, she had a great impact on this reformation of his character, strengthening his constitution to help him face the vicissitudes of life with unwavering determination. Many years later, when he was old and tired, that night would still be the most memorable, when his sister with her frail body left the hospital to perform the miracle that would change their lives forever was etched in his mind. He had found a real-life hero: Liana Legrand! The long night was finally over, and Li
At breakfast Dylan sensed that something was different about his father. "Daddy, you look happy today, did something good happen?", Dylan peeked from behind his bowl and looked at his father, as did Edward's parents who also stared at their son. Edward was a taciturn person who faced the world with one expression, that of indifference. Therefore, it was difficult to tell when he was happy or sad, and only his close families could pick up the non-verbal clues that allowed them to discern his mood. "Dylan, my love, your father must be happy, but it hasn't happened yet, and yes, it will. Your father will accompany Betina later to try on her wedding dress, so you realize he is happy," Greta, Edward's mother spoke explaining to her grandson. " Wedding dress?", Edward asked his mother, of course this was not the reason for his happiness, and his mother should have known better. "Don't tell me you forgot that, Edward White?", Greta spoke angrily to her son, and he, unfortunately, tota
"Edward, are you sure Liana lives here? How does she do it? If I were her, I'd work hard not to end up here," Betina grabbed Edward's arms and said with exaggerated concern, and her disdain for Liana only grew. And now, she was thinking herself foolish for being afraid of Liana, after all, the woman was definitely not worth her time. On the other hand, Edward frowned, and he didn't expect Liana to live in such misery either, and he would have to make sure she accepted his pension this time, he definitely couldn't let her continue living like this. "President, this is Mrs. Legrand's house!", Tony spoke up showing Edward. "Please see if anyone is home!", Edward replied and Tony nodded giving the door two knocks, but no one answered. "Edward, dear, maybe they are not home. No matter what you want to give Liana, I'm sure you can have someone deliver it to her!"- Betina finally lost her patience, she didn't want to stay there anymore. "Who are you?", A neighbor who lived two houses
Help? It didn't sound like that to Liana, and it didn't even sound like that to Jack, who soon realized the falseness in Betina's voice. "I appreciate it, but my family and I don't need your false charity!", Jack spoke up. "We're surviving just fine on our own!", Jack wasn't just angry about that, there was another reason, because when Liana and Edward split up, his sister went into a deep depression, it sounded cliché, but her smile didn't appear on her face for long. If it wasn't for this, what mother would voluntarily abandon her child if it wasn't for a depression and unbearable pressure on her? And another, Jack was already familiar with his sister's personality, she had a natural talent for perseverance. There wasn't a wince from her, although the last few years had been incredibly hard, and that only intensified the pain and hurt she had suffered at the hands of the White family. And now, he had to put up with them in front of his sister, to just belittle her? Of course
"Liana, this is for you!", Betina said condescendingly as she placed a credit card in Liana's hands. "The password is nailed to the back of the card. There is $500,000 inside. Consider it my kindness to you. I know you don't want my money, but can you afford to reject it? Just take a look at yourself!" she continued. "I don't even think Dylan wants to admit that you are his mother. Don't talk to me about pride, the thing you need most right now is money, so take my money and shut the fuck up. And this is the last time Edward and I will see you, you don't deserve anything more than that. And by the way, I'm going to marry Edward soon, don't worry, I'll take very good care of that son of yours.", After saying her piece, Betina turned to leave. "Wait!", Liana spoke behind her, and Betina was expecting Liana to get angry. "Why? Am I wrong?", Betina teased, and Liana just threw her credit card toward her. "Take your trash and go away!" "Liana, I am trying to help you, you have become
