“Are you short of money?” Chris asked.
Ruby nodded. “My kid is stricken with Kawasaki disease. He was left with some sequelae because he wasn’t sent to the hospital in time. Moreover, my other kid suffers from cerebral palsy. Both of my kids are a huge burden to me financially!” Upon finishing her words, she started tearing up because of the hardship she was going through.
Feeling sorry for her, Chris took out a bank card from his wallet. “Take this first. If you need more money in the future, I’ll try to get more for you.”
Chris was a salaried worker who didn’t earn much income. Furthermore, he was used to spending most of his money, so he didn’t have much savings.
“No, Young Master Chris, I can’t take your money. I’ll only need Mr. Wade to give me this month’s salary and let me get a few months’ worth of salaries in advance. Indeed, I need money now, but I’ll get through this.”
Chris had studied abroad and had much life experience, so he knew that the medical fees for cerebral palsy and Kawasaki disease were exorbitant. Even though Ruby earned a good income as a housekeeper in the Fowler Residence, it wasn’t enough to pay the medical bills. “Take it first. See it as I’m lending the money to you.”
Gazing at the bank card, Ruby said, “Thanks, Young Master Chris. You are a kind-hearted man.”
“Alright, you can have a few days off to take care of your kids because we don’t need so many housekeepers at the moment. Don’t worry. I’ll tell Mr. Wade to pay your salary as usual.”
“Thanks, Young Master Chris! Thanks!” Ruby bowed to him repeatedly.
Perhaps it was because Chris’ mother had done some misdeeds, so he wanted to be kind to someone to compensate for her wrongdoings, which was why he didn’t hesitate to help Ruby.
After taking the card, Ruby went to look for Yoel. Even though Chris had said so, she thought she had to inform Yoel about it. After all, he was the butler in this house.
