Chapter 1401 Her Kindness
Sally told Zachary, “I’ll write down my phone number for you, and you can call me anytime if you need anything, okay?”
“Okay!” Zachary answered.
Outside the door, Kyle smiled at the thought of how caring Sally was. I guess a person who is kind enough toward a stranger wouldn’t do anything horrible even if she did come to the Seet family with some sort of motives.
With that thought in mind, he walked into the room, and Zachary’s eyes were all lit up when he saw him.
“All this food?”
“Come, have a look and see if there’s any you like.”
Kyle laid out all the nutritious breakfast food he had brought with him on the table, and like a greedy little kitten, Zachary stared at all the food on the table intently.
“Eat whatever you want. It’s all yours.”
As soon as he said that, Zachary licked his lips and went for a slice of pizza.
Meanwhile, Sally felt a little bitter on the inside when she saw him gobbling down the food like he was starving. “Slow down. Don’t choke yourself,” she said as she handed over a cup of warm milk to him.
“Thank you,” Zachary said sincerely.
After coming out of Zachary’s room, the two went over to the elderly patient without children. Sally was very caring as she asked him about a lot of things and even offered him money.
“Take it. It might be of use to you.”
“I can’t. How can I take your money when I’m given treatment without charge? I just can’t.”
“Ms. Lane’s the one who’s giving you free treatments, but this is from me. You’re accepting help from her, but not me? Just take it.”
His hands were shaking as he stared at the stack of bills in front of him and hesitated.
In the end, Sally stuffed the bills in his hands and said, “Take it.”
Having received so much money out of the blue, the old man could not contain his excitement as he thanked Sally repeatedly. Sally’s heart softened as the pure-hearted old man reminded her of something from her past. An urge to cry washed over her, so she left in a hurry after telling the old man to take care of himself.
Kyle followed her out of the room, and he noticed Sally’s teary eyes. He asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
Sally shook her head and said, “Nothing. It just reminded me of the kind old lady who took me in. She was also a simple person with a pure heart. She always thanked other people’s tiniest kind gestures with all her heart. I remember once she was so touched and grateful when a person gave her a kettle in the dead of winter. Since then, she would thank and pray for the person’s well-being every day. I always think that she and those old people are so pure-hearted, and they are always very grateful for the kindness they received.”
Each time Sally thought of those things, she would feel a sense of warmth in her heart.
Meanwhile, Kyle was surprised by what she said. He and Juan had been suspecting that Sally was not an orphan. They thought that she must have come from some family with class. Thus, he was surprised to hear her mention an old lady who took her in.
Kyle kept to himself as he pondered for a moment. He thought that the old lady Sally had mentioned might be someone she knew or a relative of hers. Perhaps she even told him the story on purpose to hide her true identity.
At the same time, Sally noticed that Kyle was not saying anything, so she turned to him and asked, “You didn’t come to the hospital to show your love and support, did you?”
“If not that, then what?”
“I suppose you’re here for me. To keep an eye on me.”
Once again, Kyle was surprised by how straightforward Sally was. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Why would I keep an eye on you?”
“Because you’re the same as Juan. You suspect that I approached the Seet family with some ulterior motives.”
“Did you?”
