Lord Chapter 341

Chapter 341 A Silver Lining in an Unfortunate Life

The woman hesitated for a while, but in the end, she nodded and said, “Alright. Thank you so much! I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to repay you!”

Her eyes pooled with tears. It had been ages since she last met people as kind as Willow and Caspian.

“Sylvia, help her into the car. We’ll head over to Southlake Hospital right away,” Caspian

instructed.

Over at Southlake Hospital, the hospital director, Abel Hardison, received a call from Sylvia. He immediately made all the necessary arrangements.

Then, he waited at the hospital entrance to receive them in person.

All of Southlake City heard about Caspian’s heroic act at the hospital some time ago. Furthermore, Willow was the CEO of Southlake Corporation.

Since the couple was coming over to the hospital, Abel felt obligated to greet them in person.

When the Rolls–Royce Phantom pulled up in front of the hospital, it drew the eyes of many.

Once Caspian and Willow got out of the car, Abel walked up to them and greeted, “It’s good to see you, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Stewart.”

He gave them a crinkle–eyed smile.

As the CEO of a major conglomerate, Willow always drew a crowd wherever she went.

“How thoughtful of you to greet us in person, Dr. Hardison,” Caspian said with a smile.

Abel was honored by Caspian’s courteous manner.

Meanwhile, Willow slowly helped the woman out of the car.

“Take it slow, Madam Upton,” Willow reminded kindly.

During the ride to the hospital, Willow had spoken to the woman and found out her name was

Cora Upton.

Cora worked as a street cleaner in Southlake City. She was a widow raising an intellectually disabled daughter alone. For the sake of her daughter’s treatment, she had no choice but to

borrow money from Diego.

Alas, Diego was an unreasonable and sly man.

He lent 20 thousand dollars to Cora with an extremely high interest rate. In just three months, 20 thousand dollars had ballooned into 150 thousand dollars!

Cora could not afford to repay such a large sum.

She only earned a little over one thousand dollars a month as a street cleaner.

Diego and his men did not care about that, of course. Since she did not pay back, they started beating her up.

Having heard Cora’s story, Caspian got the gist of the situation.

“Hello. I’m Dr. Hardison, the hospital director,” Abel warmly greeted as he shook Cora’s hand.

“Nice to meet you,” Cora replied a little dazedly.

She was certainly not someone that the director of a major hospital would greet with such

courtesy.

Nevertheless, she knew that Caspian and Willow were both genuinely good–hearted people.

“I’ve arranged the best doctor and hospital room for you. Please come with me,” Abel said

with a smile.

Cora underwent a full b*dy checkup. Thankfully, she only sustained external injuries. All she needed was a few days of rest.

Lying on the hospital bed, Cora clutched Willow’s hand and cried out emotionally, “If it hadn’t been for you guys today, I would’ve died! Thank you so much. You’re both such kind people!”

Tears streamed down her face.

In this day and age, even kind–hearted people would be too afraid to intervene during such public fights.

Beautiful and kind women like Willow were few and far between.

“Madam Upton, what else have Diego and the Masseys done?” Caspian asked with a frown.

“Haven’t you heard of the news? Lately, the Masseys have been expanding their power and influence. Diego is the local thug! Everyone hates him. Because he’s working for the Masseys, he uses that to bully others, but everyone is too afraid to speak up,” Cora explained.

Even the mere mention of Diego and the Massey family scared her.

Caspian’s expression turned grim.

He did not expect so many things to have happened in Southlake City in his absence.

“Stay here and get some rest, Madam Upton. We still have some matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave now,” Caspian said.

He took Willow’s hand and was about to leave when Cora called out worriedly, “Um, about the hospital fees…

+15 BONUS

The hospital conducted a lot of tests on her earlier. She knew it would cost a ton of money, and she did not have any.

“Don’t worry about the hospital fees, Madam Upton. We paid it off for you, so you can just focus on your recovery. In the future, if you run into any difficulties, you can look for me at Southlake Corporation. I’ll do my best to help you!” Willow assured with a smile.

She was the CEO of Southlake Corporation, and the company had been expanding rapidly. Thus, she felt it was her duty to help the people of Southlake City as well. Now that she met someone in need of help, she was naturally going to lend a hand.

“Huh? Do you work for Southlake Corporation?” Cora asked in surprise.

Southlake Corporation’s reputation continued to soar in Southlake City..

Many recent graduates fought tooth and nail to get a job with Southlake Corporation. The company offered the best benefits and career prospects in the Two Lakes area.

“That’s right! I’m Willow Stewart, the CEO of Southlake Corporation,” Willow explained with

a smile.

There was no reason for her to hide her identity.

“What did you say?” Cora exclaimed. She was stunned.

She assumed that Caspian and Willow were simply ordinary people. She did not expect Willow to be the CEO of Southlake Corporation–and at such a young age, too!

Right now, the CEO of Southlake Corporation held a great deal of influence in Southlake City.

Cora finally realized she had run into an extremely influential figure today.

“If you’re the CEO of Southlake Corporation, that means you and the Stewarts, as well as the Masseys…” Cora trailed off.

Everyone in Southlake City knew about the Stewarts and the Masseys.

“That’s right. The Masseys are my maternal grandparents‘ family. But I wouldn’t take their side if they’ve done anything unreasonable and shady.”

Willow knew what Cora was worried about.

“Just focus on getting enough rest, Madam Upton. I’ll make the Masseys apologize to you!” Caspian said.

“That won’t be necessary, but if I may, I’d like to ask for a favor…

Gritting her teeth, Cora continued, “My daughter and I only have each other. Now that I’m hospitalized, can you help me take care of her for a few days?”

+15 BONUS

She could not think of any other solution.

It was clear that she had to remain in the hospital for a few days, but her daughter was intellectually disabled and could not survive on her own.

no one was around to take care of her, she might not even get to eat a proper meal.

If no

“Is that all? Don’t worry. We’ll take good care of her,” Caspian promised with a smile.

“That’s right. Don’t worry about anything. Just focus on your recovery,” Willow added.

“You’re both so kind. I really don’t know how I can ever repay you for this,” Cora expressed as her eyes grew misty again.

All along, she felt as if she were living a cursed life. Her husband had died young, too. But after meeting Caspian and Willow, she realized good things happened to her as well.
