Chapter 155 The Girl Next Door (5)

• Madison didn't even look at the piece of paper before putting it aside and pushing the money over to Chadwick. "Chad, I know how you are. I don't mean anything else by it, but we're friends and I would really like to help you. You know I don't lack money. This amount won't do much for me. As you've said, one bag of mine costs several thousand dollars. To me, this money is just a bag. However, to you, this sum would be a great help. If you use this to pay back your loans, you won't need to be so stressed every day, constantly finding new ways to earn more money while cutting down expenses as much as you can. You can live an easier and happier life. With this, you can go after the life you actually want and not just live for the sake of working. Additionally, you won't need to suffer that much anymore. At least, you wouldn't be stuck eating instant noodles in the basement. Do you know how saddened I was when I saw you?"
• "Most importantly, I hope it can help you forget Emily. Forget all about her, please," she continued to plead. "I know just how much pain and suffering she gave you. She has hurt you so much that even though you look happy on the outside, you are in agony on the inside. Did you know? There have been a few times when I woke up in the middle of the night to make a trip to the toilet, only to find you still awake on the couch and smoking. I know you still think about her, about the damage she caused you. That is why I wish you could forget all about her, but as long as you're still in debt, you can never forget about her. After all, you're only in debt because of her. Just act as if you know nothing. Please, Chad. Can you just pretend that you don't know that I am helping you pay off your debts, please? Forget all about this. I want you to live a happy life and forget about the past."
• Sitting down on the couch, Chadwick never thought he would ever hear what was coming from Madison's mouth. She usually seemed like a carefree girl, just like a kid that had never grown up. She was always wondering what was the next fun thing to do and had never properly spent her time on anything serious. It was why her impassioned speech felt so abrupt to him. Putting his shock aside, he could still sense her sincerity and just how much she cared for him.
