Lucy was momentarily stunned when she heard that.

“Oh, Gwen, are you two okay?”

Gwendolyn glanced at the woman who was staring at her from the side.

“I'm fine. They are just after the money. We can leave once we repay the debt. I'm sorry for causingtrouble for you, Luce.”

It was already bad enough that Melanie was sick. Now, this thing happened.

Gwendolyn was feeling very guilty. She blamed herself for being ignorant and for causing trouble eventhough she had good intentions.

Of course, she would not ask Lucy for more than five hundred thousand. Not even a cent more.

“It's all my fault, Gwen. You did it to help me, didn't you? I'll take a loan and borrow some money. Don'tworry. I'll gather enough money for you.”

Gwendolyn did not dare tell her that she was still short of one million seven hundred and thirtythousand. Any amount, no matter how small, was good enough.

As long as Juliette was safe and by her side, she would face the future one day at a time.

Lucy's expression was grim after she hung up.

With Gwendolyn and Juliette's current situation, she was left with no choice.

She would sign the contract tomorrow and sell the house at a low price.

With her phone in her hand, Lucy thought about who she could ask a favor. However, no one would bewilling to lend her money anymore.

She only had two thousand now, which was far lesser than the five hundred thousand that Gwendolynneeded.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she dialed Lucas' number.

“Hello?” A lazy voice came from the other end of the line. “Missed me?”

When Lucy heard his voice, she remembered the devilish man who was rough in bed.

She pursed her lips hesitantly but still requested shamelessly, “Mr. Gomez, can you lend me sixhundred thousand? I need it urgently.”

She had asked for his bone marrow, and now, she was asking for his money. It felt like she was takingadvantage of him.

However, Lucy had a straightforward personality and said whatever she wanted. As long as she did notfeel awkward, it would be others that will.

Lucas chuckled. “Sure. I'll transfer it to you right now. Remember to come on time tomorrow night.”

Lucy's long lashes quivered as her heart skipped a beat.

Her face warmed at the thought of what would happen the following night. There was a strange feelingin her heart.

Lucas had not asked a single question and immediately agreed to transfer her the money. He was themost generous person she knew.

At that moment, her phone vibrated.

A total of six hundred thousand was transferred into her account. Her phone vibrated again with amessage from Lucas.

He wrote: No matter what happens in the future, you can always tell me. You're not allowed to shoulderit alone.

A smile spread across Lucy's face when she saw the message. Lucas was able to make her feel warmand secure.

She quickly sent a message in reply: Thank you, Mr. Gomez. I will definitely return the money to youtomorrow.

After sending the message, she looked up at the sky. It was pitch black, as though it was about tosnow. She drew her clothes together. She was freezing in just her work uniform.

While she was on the phone, she had forgotten about the cold. Now, she was freezing as she quicklyheaded back to Night City.

As she walked, she transferred the money to Gwendolyn and sent the latter a voice message:

“Gwen, I've transferred six hundred thousand to you. Is it enough? You agreed to repay the fivehundred and fifty thousand you borrowed. The payment was delayed for a month, so six hundredthousand should be enough to cover the interest.”

After sending the message, she stood and waited. She wanted to receive Gwendolyn's reply beforeshe continued working.

At that moment, someone approached her and lifted her chin.

“Lucia, I've been supporting you for three months. When will you come home with me?”

It was a greasy middle-aged man.

Lucy jerked her head and freed her chin from his hand. She scoffed.

“Mr. Lynch, please show some respect. I sell liquor, not my body.”

With those words, she turned and headed into the club. The man stared at her back view with a traceof hatred in his eyes.

“Tsk! Who do you think you are? You're an unwanted woman with a child. I'll wait and see how long youcan hold out. I'll have you sooner or later.”
