Chapter 102
Upon hearing what Serenity just said, Ethan's eyes widened as Serenity's shaky voice kept ringing in his head.
She sounded really scared and upset and he couldn tell she was in a very difficult situation, which made Ethan curious wanting to know what she wants to use the money for.
"What's wrong, Serenity?"
he asked, his face full of worry. "Why do you need money?"
Ethan just want to make sure nobody is threatening serenity in anyway, but something in him wouldn't get his head off Noah, maybe he has asked her to pay for the meal he ordered, because the little he has seen he could tell the proud fool doesn't have any respect for her, and he wouldn't be surprised if he actually told her to pay for the meal.
Serenity's head was down, she couldn't look Ethan in the face because she was ashamed to be asking him for help, after they just started talking not long ago and she is here asking him for money.
At that moment she was about to say something when suddenly, the sky opened up and rain started pouring down.
At that moment both of them run to get cover.
However Ethan's gaze was still on Serenity.
with a low voice he said again.
"Serenity, is anything the problem, are you in any kind of trouble, please talk to me."
Still serenity couldn't say anything she was just too ashamed to ask.
At that moment Ethan's jaw tightened, knowing Noah must have done something really crazy.
"it's Noah right, did he asked you to pay for meal, I know he would be up to no good"
Upon hearing what Ethan just said Serenity quickly shook her head.
"He's not the one"
Then Ethan said.
"Then what is the issue?"
her lip trembled as she spoke, her hands shaking.
"It's my auntie."
she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"She got in a bad car crash on her way here. She's in the hospital now, and I don't have any money to get there or even pay her bills. I left my bag with my phone, my bank card, and all my cash in Noah car earlier."
At that moment She looked down at her feet. She didn't want Ethan to see her cry, it's too embarrassing to her, her face turning red with shame.
"Someone else told me about my auntie incident because I couldn't get the calls on my phone. It was in the bag."
Serenity's heart felt heavy. She had never asked anyone for money before, especially not Ethan. It made her feel so small and embarrassed.
However she doesn't care who she asks now because she wants to save her auntie, and if by asking Ethan can save her she is willing to do it.
Upon hearing what Serenity just said Ethan's mouth fell open.
He couldn't believe what he was hearing and from no other person but serenity.
He felt awful for thinking badly of Noah just moments ago, thinking he must have done something to her, not knowing it was her auntie. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and ordered a taxi.
" I'm so sorry, I thought you needed money for something else or Noah must have forced you into doing something, I'm so sorry"
he said in a low voice.
"I'm coming with you, let's go to the hospital together"
he said, his voice firm and determined.
At that moment Serenity shook her head, her wet hair sticking to her face, immediately she faced Ethan with a curious look.
"No, Ethan, you don't have to do that, it's just too selfish of me if I allow you to come with me, please just lend me the money and I promise to pay you back immediately I get my belongings" she said, but Ethan was already leading her towards the waiting car that just arrived.
However Serenity never wanted Ethan to follow her but she doesn't have any other choice.
As they sat in the taxi, the rain drumming on the roof even more, Ethan couldn't help but steal glances at Serenity.
Even with her hair soaked and no makeup on, she was breathtakingly even more beautiful.
Her skin seemed to glow in the dim light inside the taxi.
Ethan felt his heart skip a beat as he kept looking at her trying to make his heartbeat low.
Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief. "Here,"
he said softly, handing it to Serenity.
"Dry off a little so you won't catch a cold. It's okay. Everything will be okay. I promise you that, your auntie will be fine."
Serenity collected the handkerchief and bowed her head a little.
but still refusing to meet Ethan gaze.
She started cleaning her face and hair with it.
Not long after they arrived at the hospital, Ethan's eyes widened in surprise. when he saw It was his hospital, the one he owned.
At the entrance, Serenity turned to Ethan, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Ethan."
she said, her voice warm.
"But you should go now. I don't want to keep you here."
But Ethan just shook his head, his face set with determination.
"No way,"
he said.
"I'm not leaving until I know your auntie is alright."
Upon hearing what Ethan just said Serenity bit her lip, looking uncertain.
"It's just... my auntie doesn't really like meeting new people,"
she explained.
"She might get the wrong idea about you."
Ethan nodded, understanding Serenity worries, both of them just started talking and he's acting as if they were friends. What if Noah met him there, he might have the wrong Idea.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Okay,"
he said.
"You go ahead. I'll wait out here, and if you need to make payment I will help you take care of it."
Serenity nodded and went inside the hospital.
But as soon as she disappeared through the doors, Ethan slipped inside, heading straight for Mr. Davis' office.
Mr. Davis looked up in surprise when Ethan entered his office. "Mr.Ethan!"
he said his words rushing out.
"I was just about to call you. Lady Madison was here looking for you earlier. Do you know her?"
But before Ethan could respond, the door swung open and Serenity walked in.
Her eyes went wide with shock when she saw Ethan, her mouth falling open.
The bag she was holding slipped from her fingers, crashing to the floor.
Out spilled her bank card, her phone, and some cash.
