Love Enveloped In Lies
Episode 89

Maybe it was because she’d been exhausted all night, she hadn’t looked well all night. Sitting next to her, Scott watched her eat noodles, feeling grateful and sorry.

However, it was obvious that Scott wasn’t used to eating in these types of small restaurants. He didn’t even move the bowl of noodles, it smelled delicious.

After the incident last time, Scott vowed never to eat out again. He either went to a luxury hotel or went home to eat.

When he paid the bill, Scott gave him the remaining $100, but the remaining $88 was fat, so he gave up right away.

Although Michelle was a little oblivious, she still knew what had happened to Scott. She took $12 from her purse and gave it to the owner, and then the owner gave the $100 back.

“Boss, let me.”

He took the money but had no intention of putting it in her purse. But he knew Michelle didn’t like spending money.

Back in the living room, Scott had disappeared. Sitting on the empty bed across the street, Michelle frequently looked down the empty hallway.

Has he gone?

And Olivia was already asleep. The liquid medicine in the infusion bottle trickled down the tube one by one. Space seemed to return to normal.

Michelle was lying on the bed, her eyes squinting. She looked very calm.

At that moment, the faint noise reached his ears and he woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she discovered that it was Scott who had brought her a basket of fruit.

“Boss, thank you very much. This is expensive. ” He stood up and said with a frown.

“Nothing.” Scott smiled and pulled out a chair from the bottom of the bed. He looked at Olivia who was asleep and said to Michelle, “You can sleep now. I’m here with you.”

“How can I? The company still needs you and you can’t work at the hospital. ” After hearing this, Michelle was so frightened that her eyes widened. However, her voice was still so weak, as if it would drop at any moment.

If this was a boss’s concern for his employees, he’d done what he had to do. However, what she was about to do next made her feel flattered.

Was he really a good boss like her mother said? And the scene I saw in the company?

In other people’s eyes, Scott was a playboy.

But on reflection, that had helped her a lot. After getting on well with him several times, she swore she was almost attracted to him, but only half.

“I came here because I didn’t belong in the company. You skipped work for no reason, which gave me a headache. “Scott didn’t want her to know what he’d said when she hadn’t come into the company today, at least not now.

The most important thing right now was to maintain a good image in front of her.

“Sorry, boss. I didn’t mean to say that. Is it too late to ask permission now? It’s just me and my mum in this family. No one cares about my mother but me. “

It was then that he remembered his mistake. Because she was so busy, she even forgot to call her boss for permission. But judging by the current situation, won’t the salary be cut?

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t give you time to leave.” Said Scott seriously.

Maybe it was because she’d been exhausted all night, she hadn’t looked well all night. Sitting next to her, Scott watched her eat noodles, feeling grateful and sorry.

“This is good.” She sighed in relief.

“But you must promise that you will rest during this time. I don’t want to see a sick employee working on my watch. ” Scott ordered.

“There’s no problem!” Michelle smiled and gestured kindly to Scott.

Looking at her, Scott couldn’t help but laugh.

After the brew, Michelle went out to order a takeaway. Her mother couldn’t sit down, so she had to give it to her.

Sitting nearby, Scott watched the scene in silence and didn’t have the heart to disturb them.

The sunlight fell on her through the slit in the curtain. Her gaunt face looked pitiful.

It wasn’t the first time he’d seen her so kind, but every time it was as if she’d been stabbed in the heart.

After dinner, Olivia and Scott chatted for a while before heading to physiotherapy. Michelle struggled to support her mother and allowed her to sit in the wheelchair. Seeing this, Scott was quick to help.

To be honest, with Scott’s help, Michelle felt that the pressure she had endured had eased slightly. He turned his head and looked at Scott’s beautiful sculptural face, and his heart was filled with comfort.

First of all, whatever his identity and status, he was now just a man willing to help her.

After Olivia went into physiotherapy, Michelle and Scott waited at the door. They sat on the bench and said nothing.

The phone in his pocket suddenly rang and broke the silence.

Scott looked at the caller and then looked at Michelle who was sitting next to him. Michelle smiled and said “you can go”.

He picked up the phone and walked down the hall. The phone kept ringing. Scott quickly pressed the answer key and answered in a very serious tone, “Talk.”

“Boss, something’s happened on the HL Property project!” The man who spoke was the assistant. Although it was only a call, Scott could still feel the fear in the other’s heart.

It seemed that something bad had happened.

After hanging up, Scott seemed very calm. He walked over to Michelle and calmly said, “You can call me if you need money.”

After saying that, Scott left without looking back.

Before she could reply, Michelle could only look at his back as he walked away and muttered, “Is it the accident?

The General Hospital, originally narrow and quiet, was packed with people as he arrived and left. A group of nurses stood on tiptoe and leaned against the window. They had even forgotten their jobs and wished they could climb out of the window.

“You’re so obsessed with a man! Don’t you want that job? The big-bellied nurse shouted at the others, which scared them off.

She was the head nurse. Even though I was pregnant, it was hard work managing the new nurses.

When darkness fell, a day passed.

Olivia had fallen asleep. After a whole day’s work, Michelle suddenly couldn’t sleep. He put his mother inside and tiptoed to the window. She crossed her arms, watching the beautiful city night scene.

When he saw his mother fall to the ground in pain, his heart was almost broken. She was very afraid that her mother would leave her like her father, whom she had never seen before.

Humans were very fragile animals. As long as they weren’t careful enough, they would be broken into pieces. She’d never felt that way before because of her mother’s protection. But now she was deeply moved.

Today, looking at her back, I was a little disappointed.

Sometimes you get used to the feeling of being with someone else. Once he or she is gone, it’s hard to adjust. Because you’ve got used to it.

At the cost of expensive medical bills, Michelle couldn’t take it any more.

The cost of a day at the general hospital was almost 1,000. The money he paid could only last three days. Nobody knew what would happen three days later.

The next morning, as always, the doctor began to examine.

“Is that good?”

Olivia nodded, lying back on the bed.

Then the doctor began a series of treatments. The acupuncture, the extraction of the fire pot and Michelle standing nearby were all very shocking.

These days Scott didn’t turn up and her mother was much better than before. And the money spent was not in vain.

On the fourth day, mother and daughter were having their lunchtime delivery. A nurse arrived with a printed receipt, clearly showing the cost of the last few days.

“Pay the money if you have the time.” After saying this, the nurse left without looking back.

Michelle lost her appetite when she saw the receipt. How could Olivia not know the true hidden meaning of her daughter’s expression?

“Michelle, Mummy has money on my card. The password is your birthday. “

“Mum, don’t worry. I’ve got money.” She tried to comfort her mother by patting the back of her hand.

When he saw the forced smile on Michelle’s face, he felt heartbroken, but had to compromise.

When Michelle stood up with the receipt in her hand, she saw Scott, his hand with something, walking towards them.

When their eyes met, Michelle ran off again.

“Auntie, I’m busy these two days, so I don’t have time to visit you.” He set the bags on the table. He looked at Michelle in front of him and sat down in the chair.

“Mum, I’ll get started.” At that moment, Michelle didn’t know what to say to him. She was busy with something, so she had a reason to leave.

“Michelle, it’s not easy coming here. And he’s your boss … “

“Auntie, it’s okay.” Scott looked at Olivia and said softly.

Without saying anything else, Olivia chatted happily with Scott. At that moment, Michelle, who was standing next to them, felt that she had suddenly become a stranger.

She didn’t interrupt.

Michelle had to pay the bill in a row. When it was his turn to pay, he handed the bill to the nurse, who had paid it and said, “Pay $5,000.”

Michelle thought she had heard wrong, so she asked again, “How much?”

“5000. The doctor allowed five days. The rest is examination, treatment and medical fees. “The nurse patiently explained the source of the expenses.

“Of course. By card? Michelle asked gently.
