Chapter: 1175
They were the wife and daughter of a defendant who had lost a significant economic case
—which Waylen won-in the past and later took his own life, leaving the family in dire straits.
Years had passed since then, and now they were living on the streets, struggling to survive.
Back then, Waylen might have turned a blind eye to their suffering, but now, looking at the child's desperate state, he couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
Seeing the child's frail form made him think of his own child, Alexis, who had grown up ina life of luxury and comfort.
That little girl on the roadside used to be the apple of eye of a billionaire’s family as well.
He wondered if showing a little compassion in the past could have changed their fate, preventing this young girl from lying on the cold pavement, struggling to afford medical treatment and losing her father.
As he lost himself in these thoughts, the cigarette between his slender fingers burned out, and the ashes fell to the ground.
Waylen made a firm decision. He opened the car door and stepped out.
Approaching the mother and daughter, they looked up at the noble and handsome man standing before them.
The woman recognized the car parked behind him.
It was a brand her husband had favored.
Waylen gently placed his hand on the child's forehead, sensing the slight warmth of her fever. With determination in his voice, he said softly, "I'll take you both to the hospital!"
The kid's cries filled the air.
Then, the woman bowed to Waylen with tears of gratitude in her eyes.
Unbeknownst to her, he was the lawyer who had dealt with her late husband's case.
Without a word, Waylen gently picked up the crying child.
The woman followed him into his luxurious car, feeling uneasy about the opulent interior.
She suggested they could take a bus, but Waylen remained silent, soothing the little girl with a tender touch.
The child's soft hair reminded him of Alexis.
Driving through the bustling city streets at night, Waylen hurriedly brought them to the hospital.
The child was diagnosed with pneumonia.
