"In the world, there truly exist parents who don’t love their biological children," Jane Sampson tugged at Jas Black, a question slipping out inadvertently, "Jas Black, do you think... could it be because I am a girl, that’s why my biological dad and mom abandoned ?"
"What nonsense are you thinking of?" Jas Black hugged the person in his arms tightly, "When Bright Sampson ca back, the doctor at that ti said it was a mistake, not that the baby was abandoned."
Hearing this, Jane Sampson nodded again, murmuring softly, "That’s true, it’s a pity, that doctor has long passed away."
Then ca her nearly inaudible sigh.
"I have an apartnt at five points, what do you think about using this apartnt to compensate Coco Edwards for her work injury?" Jas Black suddenly asked.
Jane Sampson was stunned for a few seconds before regaining her composure and nodded after contemplating.
"That’s a good idea, although Coco is very determined, considering her family’s situation, giving her cash really isn’t as useful as giving her a house," Jane Sampson also felt that Jas Black’s thod was good, "Money draws too much attention and makes people covetous, a house is more subtle. If we don’t tell, and Coco doesn’t tell, nobody will know."
If nobody knows, it won’t be coveted.
Moreover, Jane Sampson thought that Coco Edwards was definitely not the kind of naive person to go spreading the word.
Decisive as always, Jas Black imdiately had the lawyer visit the hospital that sa afternoon to have Coco Edwards sign the contract and process the paperwork.
However, he did not expect Jane Sampson to receive a call from Coco Edwards.
"Little Jane Sampson, I’ve learned about the house, and I’m very grateful for how much you’re considering , but the house is too valuable, I’m undeserving of it," Without giving Jane Sampson a chance to speak, Coco Edwards continued, "You listen to first, since you’re offering a house, you must also know about my family’s situation. You’re probably thinking I can keep it secure, but it’s not necessarily the case. I have relatives working at the housing managent office, so the matter about the house can’t be kept secret. Giving it to wouldn’t be too useful."
As alluring as a house is, accepting it would lead to unrest in her life ahead; she’d rather not take it – that was Coco Edward’s sentint now.
Coco Edwards saw things straightforwardly, "I’m currently living in an apartnt arranged by the company, and the company pays a high salary. This injury was an accident but also part of my duties. So, there is no need for any compensation, just add a little more to my annual bonus. When I’m better, when I have free ti, give two more days of vacation."
"As for the house, I can’t dare to accept it now. I feel ashad; I haven’t worked by your side for very long. If you think I’m worth it, you can gift it to when I get married one day. I absolutely won’t decline, or you can wait until I’m thirty to give it to ," Coco Edwards smiled gently, "By then, if things are still like they are now, I should have the determination and courage to completely cut ties with them."
After listening, Jane Sampson felt an inexplicable twinge of heartache.
So people always seem happy and joyful in the eyes of others, but it’s not that they are truly without worries, not that they are actually living especially happily.
Everyone has a story; it’s just that so people are good at hiding their stories well, keeping them unknown to others.
Jane Sampson thought that the reason she and Coco Edwards beca friends was probably because, in this aspect, they had sothing in common.
"Alright, I will wait until either you get married or you turn thirty to gift the house to you as a present. Then, I will personally buy an apartnt to give to you," Jane Sampson solemnly promised.
