Chapter 0637
Suzy arrived at the café Dylan had arranged for her meeting with the woman. The moment she saw her, she got straight to the point. “I believe Dylan has mentioned the purpose of this meeting, so I’ll skip the formalities…”
She placed a checkbook on the table in front of the woman. “This is worth twenty million dollars. If you’re reluctant or feel the amount isn’t sufficient, just let me know.”

Asking a woman in her thirties to spend the rest of her life with a man in his sixties
-Suzy would never have made such a proposition if it weren’t absolutely necessary.
Whether her father’s poison could be cured was still uncertain. Even if there was hope, it would require endless trials of various remedies, and the outcome might still be far from satisfactory.
Her father had suffered from the poison for years, and no one understood his pain better than Suzy. She didn’t want him to endure it any longer.
This time, Suzy chose to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.
Because he was her father, she couldn’t take the risk.
This version of Suzy was unfamiliar to Dylan. It made him feel uneasy and deeply sympathetic. He wanted to hold her and offer comfort, but…
Suppressing a bitter smile, Dylan looked at the silent woman. “Miss Frost is waiting for your answer.”
The woman glanced at Dylan before turning to Suzy. “I don’t want the money, but I’ll help you.”
“Why not take it?” Suzy asked. “Do you think it’s too little? Name your price–I’ll agree to it.”
“It’s not about the amount of money,” the woman replied with a smile. “Your concerns are Dylan’s concerns. He saved my life, so his matters are my matters. Helping him is my honor, so I don’t want the money.”
“Are
you sure?” Suzy asked, her expression serious. “Because this might take a long time–years, maybe even decades. Are you certain you can live with a man so much older than yourself?”
The
age gap was undeniably vast.

Suzy knew deep down that her request was excessive. Most people wouldn’t even have the nerve to ask for such a favor. If someone had asked her for something like this, she would’ve likely cursed them to no end.
It was a ridiculous idea, but for her father’s sake, she had to set aside her pride this
once.
With her mother gone and having finally found her father, Suzy only wanted him to spend his remaining years in peace.
The woman pushed the bank card back toward Suzy, “I’ve made up my mind. As long as you need me, I’ll be there whenever you call.”
Suzy’s heart ached, and her voice turned hoarse without her realizing it, “Thank you.”
“There’s no need to thank me, I’m doing this of my own free will.”
After settling things with the woman, Suzy brought her back to the Hillside Villa.
The moment they stepped inside, Suzy saw Allen hurrying down the stairs with a panicked expression.
Seeing him like this, Suzy felt a sudden jolt of dread and rushed forward to ask, ” What happened?”
Allen opened his mouth, but no words came out. He seemed unable to explain.
“What’s wrong? Speak up!”
“Your father… he’s gone!” After struggling to get the words out, Allen finally forced himself to say it.
“What do you mean, gone?” Suzy’s face darkened immediately. “What did I tell you before I left? And how did you guarantee me it wouldn’t happen? It’s only been two hours, and you’ve already lost him?”
