Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 169

"Madam, why did you come in person?" Cynthia stood by the bed respectfully. The big hospital gown set off her thin figure, which made her look more pitiful.

Eve glanced at her and said blandly, "Just sit down. I can find a chair myself."

Although Eve said so, she still waited for Cynthia to move a chair over with difficulty. Then she put her handkerchief on the chair and then slowly sat down.

As soon as Cynthia saw Eve, she was so nervous.

Fortunately, Eve was kind to her, so Cynthia sat on the bed cautiously and smiled at Eve timidly.

What Eve said to Cynthia first was to thank her for saving Patrick's life at the critical moment.

Hearing it, Cynthia was happy and smug. But then Eve suddenly changed the topic, "So, in order to thank you, tell me how much money do you want."

Cynthia's smile froze.

Seeing that Cynthia was stunned, Eve smiled hypocritically and said, "I give you money in order to thank you. I'm not insulting you. Don't think too much."

"Madam, I can't accept your money." Cynthia smiled reluctantly, and there was no joy in her smile at all.

"You need to accept the money. Your brother is still in a wheelchair, your father is old, and now you..."

Eve glanced at Cynthia's flat abdomen, holding back the truth and saying, "You need a long period of recuperation and it will cost lots of money."

"Auntie, Patrick will take care of me." Cynthia said haltingly.

Eve snorted in her heart, "I don't want my son to always take care of you!"

"It will be better for me to spend money to let you shut up!"

"On the one hand, you're incapable. On the other hand, you can't get pregnant. What if you pester my son for the rest of your life?"

Thinking about it, Eve took out the check she had filled out early in the morning and gave it to Cynthia. After seeing the amount on the check clearly, Cynthia gasped.

30 million dollars!

"Madam..." Cynthia's hands, which were holding the check, was trembling. She didn't expect Eve to be so generous!

Of course, she did not know the real reason for Eve's generosity. It was because she was very likely to be unable to get pregnant and have no child to support her when she was old.

Eve was very satisfied with the sincerity and fear that Cynthia showed at the moment. She said, "Keep the money to pay for your family's treatment and living expenses. But you have to promise me that after leaving the hospital, you will take the initiative to cut off contact with Patrick."

Cynthia was stunned. At this moment, she only felt that the check was so hot that she couldn't hold it, "Madam, if this is the exchange condition, then... I would rather not accept the money."

Eve gave the check back to Cynthia and her voice gradually turned colder, "No, you must accept it. I can tell you clearly that although you saved Patrick, he won't fall in love with you. Patrick said that he is willing to treat you as his own younger sister and take care of you. But staying by his side as his sister will only bring you endless eagerness and pain, right?"

Hearing this, Cynthia's weak face turned even paler, "Did Patrick... really say that?"

"Of course! Do you think that he will divorce Amelia, marry you, and be responsible for the rest of your life? Child, don't be so silly. He is my son. I know what kind of woman he likes. You'd better start a new life with your family with the money I gave you."

After listening to Eve's analysis, Cynthia, who had just held back her tears, wanted to cry again.
