Chapter 540 You Are So Kind (1/2)
When Beryl woke up she found herself in a big bed. To her surprise, her clothes had been changed and her wound had been dressed properly. She whipped her head around, but nothing she saw seemed familiar to her.
Beryl wore a puzzled expression as she had no idea what had happened to her. She noticed a woman standing by the window and sat up straight.
”Are you awake, Beryl?” The woman had a kind voice.
Yilia was delighted to see the little girl awake. ”Our rescue went successfully. There's nothing to be afraid of,” she said happily.
”But why I am here? I should be at the police station. Why here?” Beryl's eyes flickered nervously in doubt.
She was expecting to wake up at the police station now so that she could ask the police to help her find her father.
Yilia paused for a moment and then answered, ”You know, the police had to deal with many other important and complicated cases. They had no time to take you back to your father. So they asked me to help you find your father. You said your father is Jacob Gu, right? I know him.”
Beryl frowned, seemingly skeptical of Yilia's explanation. ”Can you really help me find my father?”
”Of course. I will take you to him today. Would that make you happy?” Yilia smiled at her. For some reason, she no longer was the mean woman from before. It was as if she wasn't Yilia at all.
If Beryl really was Jacob's daughter, she would be a fool to let such a good opportunity slip by her hands. Yilia was hoping to score a big reward by bringing Jacob's daughter to him.
More importantly, she was hoping to use this opportunity to meet Jacob so she could woo him into marriage. Perhaps then she would go from rags to riches overnight.
The thought of Jacob's handsome face, his wealth and his status, deeply excited Yilia's deluded imagination. She blushed red picturing herself and Jacob as lovers in her mind.
Perhaps she was destined to be Jacob's wife. God had finally smiled down upon her and blessed her with an opportunity of a lifetime. She wouldn't miss it for the world.
Her good fortune had brought Beryl to her, who could lead her to meet the most handsome man she had ever seen, Jacob.
In order to leave a good impression to Jacob, she tried her best to please Beryl. So the first thing she did was take Beryl to have a meal at a fancy restaurant. Later that day, she went to a shopping mall and bought herself an expensive dress. Then she got a new haircut to make herself look more attractive.
