Chapter 3: Does the help get a return?

Violet, after accepting to stay in the hospital to take care of the young man until he woke up, sitting next to his bed suddenly looked closely at his face and thought in her mind:

"If you look closely, he's quite handsome, and his skin is white. Are the poor children in the city all white?"

Violet then looked back at her slightly dark skin due to work and felt a little moved. But soon, her mind was only thinking about how to get a job as quickly as possible.

Deep in thought, a nurse's voice interrupted Violet's thoughts:

" Where are the family members of patient number 8?"

" Yes, I'm here! How's his situation?"

Violet stood up and asked the nurse.

" Well, the patient is not dangerous, just exhausted from being too tired. A little rest is fine. When the patient wakes up, I can go to the hospital to pay the hospital fee."

" Thank you!"

After the nurse left, Violet returned to the chair next to the hospital bed, her eyes fixed on him once more, Violet muttered:

" Well, if then help until help the end. After all, compared to sleeping on the cold street, sleeping in a hospital is still much better."

At this moment, Violet's stomach growled, now that she was too hungry, she took out her loaf of bread to continue the unfinished meal. When Violet was about to bring it to her mouth:

" I'm hungry!"

The young man suddenly jumped up, making Violet startled, before she could do anything, the young man grabbed the loaf of bread in Violet's hand and eat devoured it before Violet's surprised eyes. Now she looked at her bag, only a bottle of water left, Violet had no choice but to drink water to avoid hunger. But because the young man ate too fast, he choked and the water bottle in Violet's hand was also snatched by him, and the drink emptied. Violet was so surprised by his actions that she was speechless.

After a moment of bewilderment, Violet finally regained her composure. Now she angrily said:

" Hey man, you're too bad. You're the kind of person who doesn't know anything. I helped get you to the hospital and you even stole my last meal. Do you know it's my only and last meal of the day?"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent. Don't know when on Violet's face two lines of tears fell. She didn't know why she was crying either, but the tears just kept flowing.

Now the bewilderment was transferred from Violet to the young man and the people around him and the other patients as well. Everyone was silent for a while and then started whispering.

Perhaps feeling ashamed and guilty, the young man's face turned red, he grabbed Violet's hand and stammered:

" Sorry... sorry. Don't cry, I don't mean to take your food. I promise to repay you."

Violet wiped her tears with her hand, she said:

" There is no need, you are like this to ask for something in return. I'll go get something else to eat. The problem now is your hospital bills, I don't have a dime to pay your hospital bills."

" Don't worry, I have already transferred the hospital fee. Now let's go to the hospital."

" Transfer?"

After completing the discharge procedures for the young man, the two left the hospital, but in Violet's mind at this moment, still busy thinking about what the transfer was, after a while, Violet dared to ask the young man. that:

" Hey, can you... tell me what a transfer is? Why can a bank transfer payment for hospital fees? Haven't you given them money yet?"

Hearing Violet's innocent question, the young man burst into laughter:

" Hahaha, don't you really know what a transfer is? Now everyone uses wire transfer."

" Because... in my village nobody uses that. Hey, I want to know what a transfer is."

" Okay, you just need to understand that it's a form of payment, but you don't need to give cash. It was similar to her paying cash, but when transferring money, I only needed to use my bank account. Now, most people use wire transfers and everyone has a bank account."

As for the young man's answer, Violet was still a little bewildered, but when she was about to ask more questions, the young man spoke up:

" Hey, let's get in the car!"

The two of them had already reached the hospital gate and there was a luxury car parked there. Violet thought that the young man called by mistake, she went around to avoid the car when the young man pulled her back and said:

" Hey, where are you going? I told you to get in the car."

" Car? Did you tell me to get in this luxury car?"

" Yes, this is my car."

Without letting Violet say more, the young man quickly pushed Violet into the car, closed the door, and said to Violet:

" You don't have to be so surprised, I said I would repay you. First, to atone for eating your dinner, I will offer you a sumptuous meal. You just go to the restaurant first, I'll come later after I tidy up a bit."

After that, the young man signaled the driver to drive away.

As for Violet, who was still bewildered, she still couldn't believe that the ragged young man had such a luxurious car, in her mind she thought:

“Do the poor in the city all have cars? Was he going to catch me and sell it? Or is he going to do something to me?”

A series of doubtful questions appeared in Violet's mind at this time, causing her to become bewildered, fear evident on her face.

Sitting in the car in a scared mood, Violet only dared to sit still, she did not dare to move even a little. She was afraid that if she accidentally damaged anything on the car, she would not have a refund.

After a while, Violet dared to summon up her courage to ask the driver:

" Can I ask, please, where are we going?"

" Yes, lady, we are on our way to the five-star Victoria restaurant. The young master has already booked a table at the restaurant. When I arrive, I will escort you to the table."           

Receiving the driver's reply, Violet was somewhat surprised. A polite and formal reply that was the exact opposite of what Violet had imagined. But for a milk delivery girl like Violet, this luxury was unfamiliar to her, she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions and continued to be silent.
