167 My Gratitude for Your Love

Alla, her eyes brimming with unshed tears, slowly unveiled a resigned smile. "Dr. Weston, I beseech you to convey to him that I have forgiven him, yet I cannot possibly return to his side again..."

Eileen's elegant brows furrowed slightly. "Is this because of Keyon?"

Alla, her long lashes drooping, seemed to be immersed in the memories of yore. "Dr. Weston, do you know the trials of my upbringing? Ricky labored relentlessly, earning money just to procure the relentless supply of medicine that barely sustained me. This debt of gratitude is not of a year, but almost twenty."

"From my tender years till now, when everyone else abandoned me, only he and Maggie chose not to. They scrimped and saved every day just to mend my heart. Having promised to take care of him with my lifetime, how could I possibly betray him again..."

Having spoken these words, she turned around and exited the café.
