Chapter 158

Apang of sadness twisted in Jenny’s chest.

“It’s okay, Luna,‘

,” she whispered gently. “Miss Riley is really kind. She won’t mind any of this, so try to relax.”

jenny reached out, wanting to give Luna a comforting pat on the head.

But because of her chemotherapy, Luns had lost all her hair. She always wore a flutty pinkhat whenever she went out. Jerry knew it was a gift from her brother and Luna treasured it like a precious keepsake,

Jenny’s emotions grew even more complicated, her eyes stinging. Her outstretched hand besitated in midair before she gently patted the soft, fuzzy hat instead.

“Don’t worry, Lama. Miss Riley will definitely help your brother with his casel

Luna’s nervous expression softened, and s

she managed a small, bright

ight smile. “Thank you, Jenny and thank you, Miss Riley.”

Listening to the conversation from the driver’s seat, Charlotte sighed silently.

“some people just seemed cursed by fate. Why did bad luck always target those who were already struggling?” she wondered.

Charlotte’s empathy was strong–sometimes too strong. Hearing their story, her chest felt tight, and her eyes began to mist over.

She quickly pulled herself together and adjusted her tone before calling out, “penny, please help Luna with her seatbelt.”

Got it.”

Luna and Matthew were both patients at the same public hospital.

The narrow hospital room was crowded with four beds. It was early winter, and the cold wind howled outside. The windows were tightly shut to keep the chill out.

The moment Charlotte stepped in, a sharp, sour odor hit her. It was coming from the patient on the bed near the door. The man clearly hadn’t bathed in days, and Curlotte almost garged, barely holding back her discomfort.

She frowned slightly but forced herself to stay calm, following Luna deeper into the room

Matthew was lying in the bed furthest from the door, leaning against his pillow, staring blankly out the window at the falling leaves.

“Matthew!” Luna called out, her voice crisp and cheerful.

Matthew’s head immediately turned, and his dull eyes brightened slightly. “Luna, you’re here! Did you eat?”

Luna smiled, nodding quickly. “Yes, yes! I already ate.”

It was alle

She had spent the whole morning sneaking out of the hospital to ask Jenny for help. She hadn’t had time to eat at all. But she didn’t want her brother to worry

Jenny, you’re here too?” Matthew greeted her with a polite smile.

“Hi, Matthew “Jenny returned the smile.

Matthew’s gaze shifted to Charlotte, his expression cautious. “And this is..?”

Jenny introduced her. “This is Miss Riley, a lawyer from our firm.”

Charlotte stepped forward, giving a polite nod. “Hello, Jenny explained your situation to me. If you’re comfortable, I’d like to help you seek compensation from your former employer.”

Matthew’s expression tightened, and he hesitated, “I… I’m sorry, Miss Riley. I can’t afford a lawyer. You can see how things are. I can barely pay for my own medical bills right now. Fins sorry for wasting your time.”

Chadone’s tone softened, yet slayed firm. “No need to worry about that, Mr. Leonard. You can pay me alter you receive your compensation. I’m offering you a contingency fee agreement.”

Matthew’s eyes showed confusion. “A contingency fre?”

“That means if we lose the case, you won’t have to pay me anything.”
