Lachlan smiled and shook his head, saying nothing. "No, I understand. Why would I look down on you?" Having experienced the ups and downs of life, he had long since become indifferent to such things. He could fully understand Allison's family's reaction.
"Well then, let me give you back the money," Allison said.
Since Lachlan had already said that her mother's heart disease was completely cured, Allison now believed him almost completely.
"Don't worry about it for now. You can use it first. You always live with your parents and brother; that's not ideal. Use this money to buy a house if you want," Lachlan waved his hand.
If he ever had the chance to repay the school beauty who was beautiful and kind-hearted and who had helped him so much in the past, Lachlan wouldn't mind doing so as much as possible.
Hearing this, Allison bit her lip teasingly and asked, "Why? Do you want to keep me?"
"Uh... no! That's not what I meant! Just consider it a loan from me; take your time paying it back..." Lachlan broke out in a sweat as he quickly explained himself lest Allison misunderstand him having some improper thoughts towards her.
However, when she heard this remark from Lachlan, she just went "Oh" with an aggrieved expression on her face instead of being angry or anything else like that at all.
She could tell that compared with those people who pursued her beauty or coveted her body, Lachlan didn't really have any ulterior motives towards herself at all...
But strangely enough... the more she thought about this fact... the more uncomfortable she felt inside!
She'd rather have someone like him actually harbor some improper thoughts towards herself instead!
After all... if necessary... she could just give herself up to him even if he got married - becoming his mistress or something along those lines...
Anyway…she already liked him quite a lot anyway…
However…Lachlan did not seem interested in taking advantage of their relationship in any way whatsoever…
"Lachlan, how should I repay your kindness?" Allison wondered silently inside her own head after seeing Lachlan off while watching his car disappear into the night before finally going upstairs feeling somewhat complicated emotionally speaking...
The Lowe family mansion!
"Cough cough cough…cough!"
Victoria lay in bed coughing violently again.
Her face was covered with an unhealthy flush!
"How are you doing Madam?"
The servant next to her saw what happened and came over holding a phlegm bowl nervously asking Victoria how she was feeling right now.
After coughing up some bloody phlegm, Victoria took a moment to catch her breath. She looked weak and frail, with an unhealthy flush on her face during severe coughing fits and a generally dull complexion otherwise. It was as if death lingered around her.
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
Just then, Romeo's strong voice rang out as he walked in from outside with a concerned look on his face. However, there was also a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Romeo..."
Victoria weakly called out to her son.
