Angela glanced back at the people in the living room and put on a radiant smile. “Okay.”
“Angela. Mr. Lawson, welcome. Please have a scat.”
When Donald saw Angela, he instantly smiled. Meanwhile, Hecate offered a selection of fruits and snacks.
Zacharias remained quiet on the other side, his expression subdued. However, the faint smile on his lips betrayed his emotions.
Queenie sat beside Angela. Having been discharged from the hospital just two days prior, Queenie’s body was still weak. She didn’t even want to be here.
After some casual conversation, Angela took out the adoption agreement.
Donald and Hecate signed without hesitation. They then passed the household registration. to Angela.
As Angela held the document, her emotions surged.
She was now free from that family. The tragedies of her past life would never be repeated.
She had finally achieved complete and lasting freedom. A life of independence and autonomy was ahead of her.
Unlike the jovial atmosphere here, George sat in the car, gloomily waiting for Linda near her. house.
After waiting for several minutes, Linda finally arrived.
As soon as she entered the car, he spoke solemnly. “Did you tell Angela about us?”
A flicker of emotion crossed her eyes. She bit her lip and gazed up at George with an
expression of innocence and grievance. Her soft voice carried a hint of tremor. “What are you talking about, Uncle Donald? I would never tell anyone about such things.”
“You’re sure you haven’t said anything?”
George felt a moment of confusion. How would Angela know, then? Am I overthinking?
“I swear, Uncle Donald, I’ll keep it a secret and won’t affect you in any way.”

Linda adjusted her position to meet George’s gaze directly, Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. “That night will remain our secret forever”
She reached out to wipe away her tears, her voice faltering. “I was in so much pain and didn’t know what else to do. If not, I wouldn’t have… reached out to you”
George furrowed his brow. “Enough tears. Here’s the ointment. Tend to the wounds yourself. Let me think about this matter. I’ll provide you with an explanation.”
He handed a white plastic bag to Linda.
Tearfully, she looked at him, pleading, “Uncle George, there are wounds on my back. I… can’t reach them. Could you help me, please?”
It was the simplest request, but George took out the ointment from the plastic after a brief hesitation.
The cramped space of the car was dimly lit.
As George’s fingers touched Linda’s fair skin, marked with scars, her shoulders trembled. She turned to him. “Uncle George, please be gentle. It hurts…”
He paused his movements and remained silent, biting his lips.
But she could feel him being gentler. She said softly, “Uncle George, the clothes you gave me last time were quite expensive. I can’t accept them without repaying you.
“I’ve found a part–time job now, so please give me some time. After I cover my mother’s medical expenses, I’ll save up to pay you back.”
Upon hearing this, George narrowed his eyes. His tone tinged with displeasure as he said, “How much can a young girl like you carn? You don’t need to worry about it.”
He was a person of status and reputation. How would he care about such a trivial amount of money?
Linda’s eyes welled up with tears. Suddenly, she turned to face George. “Uncle George… will I ever have the chance to see you again?”
“What do you mean?”
George’s expression darkened slightly. Frowning, he looked at her with caution,
“I’m sorry, Uncle George. Please don’t misunderstand.” Linda’s tearful eyes widened. I’m not trying to cling to you, but I just haven’t felt warmth in a long time… After my

At that moment, George felt that he had misunderstood her again. A touch of guilt rose in his
heart.
After some consideration, he took out a card from his wallet and handed it to her.
Linda briefly glanced at the bank card, then at his face. She asked in surprise, “What do you mean by this?”
“Your mother’s medical expenses are quite a large amount. This money can help in emergencies. Consider it… as compensation to you.”
“Uncle George, that night… wasn’t your fault. I was also at fault.” Linda’s voice trembled as she was on the verge of tears. “I don’t blame you.”
“Take it. It’s getting late. You should go back now.”
George placed the bank card in the plastic bag and tucked it into her arms, along with some medicine.
Linda hesitated for a moment but ultimately accepted it.
Before the car drove away, he suddenly rolled down the window and whispered, “These things-”
Before he could finish, Linda interrupted him and said seriously, “I understand. Don’t worry, Uncle George. I won’t come looking for you again.”
With that, Linda tidied up her thin clothes, opened the car door, and quickly got out, leaving behind a slender figure that eventually disappeared.
George frowned slightly, feeling a mix of emotions. That is not what I mean.
Her words made him a heartless man who left as soon as he was done.
As long as it didn’t affect the situation at home, George was willing to help Linda if she needed it.
At the corner, Linda watched the car disappear at the end of the road. Then, she clenched her hand tightly, smiling seductively. Oh, dear Uncle George. I’m looking forward to our next meeting.
When Angela and Jonathan returned to Springgate Estates, it was already 10:30 p.m.
Even though she had classes the next day, she was unusually excited. As they left Donald’s

house, they happened to run into Emilia. Only then did Angela realize that Donald and Hecate had deliberately sent Emilia away.
They were worried Emilia might say something unpleasant and upset her.
Putting her thoughts aside, Angela patted her checks. I haven’t forgotten the task at hand!
She had to focus and work hard to treat Jonathan’s leg. She wasn’t an ungrateful person.
After knocking on the study door, Angela waited for a moment before hearing Jonathan’s low, hoarse voice say, “Come in.”
In the room, Simon was standing with his hands behind his back next to Jonathan. When Simon saw her come in, his handsome face remained expressionless as he looked elsewhere.
It seemed like Simon was reporting something important.
Angela blinked. “Jonathan, am I interrupting you? I’ll come back later to treat you. continue.”

“It’s not urgent. Just a small matter,” Jonathan said, raising his cold eyes. “Simon, wait outside.”
Simon’s mouth twitched. “Okay.”

with Mr. Lawson.
Angela began to give Jonathan acupuncture while kneeling on the soft carpet.
May was good at cooking and taking care of people. In these few months, she had turned the once thin and pale Angela into a fair and tender beauty with skin as smooth as a doll’s.
Under the bright light, she appeared ethereal.
Jonathan lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Angela, his gaze becoming deeper.
But Angela didn’t notice anything. Her attention was all on Jonathan’s body. After so many years of care, his body had not been greatly affected. Even the muscles in his legs were firm.
It could be imagined that Jonathan had a very good physical condition.
He has such a good physique, and yet he had experienced such things. He didn’t get married in his previous life and didn’t even have a woman before dying at a young age. It’s a real pity for the women.
