Chapter 985 Pick-up Lines

Helen broke into a relieved smile. “See, Heidi? James may seem like a brute at times, but he means well. Your troubles are ours to shoulder as well. Now, all you have to do is stay here and get some rest. Matthew happens to be the department director here, so you can look for him if you need any help.” With that, she turned to her husband and said, “James, I won’t be going home tonight. I’ll be staying here with my sister.”

James chortled. “That’s fine by me. I have nothing much to do for the next few days anyway, so I’ll get groceries and make you some soup, Heidi. By the way, Matthew, I’ll be the one handling the medical expenses on Heidi’s behalf. Have the check sent to me.”

Heidi gaped at him. “James—”

He cut her off bluntly. “Will you stay quiet? It’s not as if I can’t pay the bill. I’m no Scrooge, you know! Matthew, don’t you and Sasha dare pay a single cent for Heidi’s expenses. I’ll be the one covering them, got it?”

Matthew and Sasha exchanged a brief glance, and they were clearly elated to see how much James had changed for the better. They had come a long way to witness this shift in his demeanor, after all.

It was only after James had made his intentions clear that he waved his hand and said, “Alright then, get some rest, Heidi. I’ll go back and get started on that soup. Helen, be sure to take good care of your sister, okay?” Then, he turned on his heels and left the room.

Tears welled up in Helen’s eyes, and her heart twisted with newfound gratitude for her brother-in-law.

Helen, on the other hand, offered up words of solace. “There, you’ve completely misunderstood James. He’s a good man at heart. Whatever happened with Chloe and Norman was entirely their fault; they were the ones who crossed the line first. That’s enough crying now, Heidi. You get some rest, and I’ll be right here. Matthew, Sasha, the both of you can leave and get back to your work now.”

Having heard this, Matthew and Sasha walked out of the room.
