Scars Of A Broken Bond

It was obvious that he was still concerned about what happened that day.

Shirley was helpless. “I’m an intern here,” she announced hastily before Trevor could get a word out.

“Oh…”

“It’s working time. Go ahead with your work.”

“Okay. Fine.”

Not sensing any interest from Shirley regarding the events of that evening, Trevor cautiously gave a small nod of his head.

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief. She actually forgot about Trevor!

Was it too late for her to tell the HR that she didn’t want to work here?

On the first day of the internship, the group leader did not assign any significant tasks. Instead, she requested that Shirley familiarize herself with the company and assist in providing drinks during meetings in the meeting room.

Sergio was on the way to Shirley’s residence with Marnie.

Before heading to Shirley’s house, Marnie let Wendell know beforehand, expressing her desire for him to meet her and her boyfriend.

Wendell asked for a day off and awaited their arrival at home.

As Marnie provided Sergio with the address, Sergio felt a faint sense of familiarity with it. It turned out his parents owned an apartment in that neighborhood and had rented it out. However, he couldn’t remember which building it was.

Wendell’s joy was clear when he saw Sergio. Apart from being handsome Sergio was said to be a manager of a big company. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Judging from Wendell’s positive demeanor, Sergio assumed Wendell must have made strides in his recovery.

Sergio broached the subject with a faint smile, “I heard from Marnie that you recently had a kidney operation, and you’re still recuperating. I especially came here just to check in on you. The director of Healthwell Hospital is a friend of my grandfather, so if you need any assistance, feel free to reach out to me.”

“Well, that is kind of you, but I don’t want to trouble you. I just had a re-examination at the hospital yesterday, and the doctor mentioned that my recovery is going well.”

“That’s good to hear. I heard Marnie’s cousin is still a student. It must be challenging to gather enough money for the operation, right?

Do you have sufficient funds? I can lend some to you if you need it,”

Sergio offered.

When Wendell first discovered his kidney failure, he had no choice but to turn to his friends and relatives from his hometown to borrow money. However, they had all tried their best to look the other way and avoid him.

Now Sergio was offering him help so openly. Recalling such a challenging time, Wendell was touched, gratefulness and remorse filling his weary heart. “Thank you so much. My daughter borrowed some money from a friend, and we’re good for now. If we ever need more in the future, I’ll be sure to reach out to you to take you up on that offer.”

Marnie abruptly interrupted, “Borrowed money from a friend? When did she befriend someone so well- off? Would a person really lend you that much money?”

Wendell misunderstood the cause of Marnie’s concern. He assumed she was worried about Shirley, so he explained, “Don’t worry. It’s one of her friends, and that friend even came by to see me.”
