Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV 

It was one of the rare occasions when I managed to get off work early this evening 1 left the office building of Zhester Technology with Lucy On the way out, Lucy suddenly received a text message She read it and immediately her cries of joy rang in the air.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she handed her phone to me. She said, bubbling with excitement, "George has paid me my commission as promised.He really transferred the money into my account!"

I touched the tip of my nose and praised him sincerely.

"He is actually a very good soul A rare find."

But George and I were not meant to be together After all, the matter concerning Jane had driven a wedge between us Lucy guffawed and took back her phone she couldn’t get over how many zeroes appeared after the whole number She looked at her phone and murmured, "Yes, he is a good man but he is just not suitable for you By the way, if you have time, you can do a web search on the Affleck family in Washington."

"The Affleck family?" It seemed that I didn’t know George’s complete identity.I had not paid much attention to him when I was in high school in Philly After we met again, we simply had a casual sexual relationship for a period of time.

But we both felt that our relationship hadn’t evolved sufficiently to get to know each other’s families "Yes, George is the only son of the Affleck family Since he hails from such a noble and prestigious family, obviously he will marry a woman of the same social standing Don’t worry Jane does not stand a chance with him.

It’s impossible for an illegitimate daughter like Jane to marry into such a noble family she has no legs to stand on"

"If you say so," I answered absent mindedly I had never been interested in his family background before, and now that I had nothing to do with him anymore.

I couldn’t care less Lucy held my hand and said in a whisper, "I’m going to pay off the bond on the house first Then, I’ll find a better hospital for your mother so that you can visit her any time you please"

"No, that’s not necessary.The hospital she is in is good enough.When I save enough money.I will move her to another hospital." I refused on the spot.

I didn’t want to become a financial burden to Lucy.

"And when will you have enough money to move her to another hospital? Do you ever have more than ten thousand in your bank account? You don’t have money left over at the end of the month to save.I know you live from paycheck to paycheck.How can you turn down my sincere offer? Besides, I’m not giving it to you as a gift.You have to pay me back when you are in a position to do so.I’ll keep a record of this loan then you can pay me back with interest."

As Lucy spoke, she began to transfer money from the banking app on her phone Within seconds, I received the message that the money had been transferred into my account I looked down at the amount indicated in the message Tears flowed freely from my eyes as my heart overflowed with gratitude How could I be blessed with a friend like Lucy?

 "Thank you, dearest Lucy My mother’s hospital was a private one with good facilities.However, the hospital did not allow random visits.You had to have an urgent reason to pay the patient a visit This suited neither my mother nor I .I needed to see my mother often.
