BuzzNovel“Is it a crforto dress well? You only wear what you do because your husband doesn’t make enough to
buy you nice clothes, right? Is that why you want my brother to give you money-so you can go out and buy
yourself something pretty?”
Alessia blinked, and tears spilled down her cheeks.
She already had that innocent, heartbreaking face, and the sudden tears caught everyone off guard.
“I... 1 didn’t... That's not...” The woman faltered, completely thrown by Alessia’s words. What had they even
started out trying to do?
Alessia wiped at her face, but the tears kept coming.
Her slender shoulders trembled, and the way she tried to hold back her sobs-stubborn, but hopelessly
overwhelmed-made her look even more fragile, tugging at the hearts of everyone watching.
“Lessie!”
The woman was stunned by the sudden reversal, but she wasn’t the only one panicking-Zachary looked just as
shaken.
Alessia was always so strong, so proud. If something had made her cry like this, she must have been deeply
wronged.
Zachary's face filled with concern as he pulled Alessia into his arms, gently rubbing
her back.
“It’s alright, it’s alright. I'm here, Lessie, don’t worry. If it comes to it, we'll just give them the money. If we run
out, I'll just earn more. However many pretty dresses you want, I'll buy them for you-all of them, okay? Please

He cupped her face in his hands and used his thumb to softly wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes, his
gaze brimming with tenderness.
Alessia had thought Zachary was just playing along with her little act-his words were too perfect. But when she
looked up, she realized he was truly worried about her.
She stared at him, momentarily speechless, her emotions suddenly tangled and complicated.
“Oh, poor kids-they must still be in school, right?”

“Grown adults picking on children. Unbelievable.”
“I told you, didn’t I? The girl helped the old lady out of the goodness of her heart, and now she’s getting
blackmailed for it. If this keeps happening, who's ever going to help us old folks again?”
“Exactly! Just because she’s dressed nicely, they think they can wring money out of her. That's just wrong.”
“They've got two good hands-why don’t they go earn their own money instead of trying to scam a couple of
students?”
All around, people pointed at the husband and wife sitting on the floor, their faces full of contempt, as if they
hadn’t been supporting them just moments ago.
“No, that’s not true! It was them-” The woman looked at her husband, eyes wide with panic.
They scrambled to explain, but somewhere along the line, they'd lost control of the situation entirely.
“Step aside, please! This is a hospital. If you don’t have business here, clear the hallway.”
No one listened to the couple’s protests. Queenie arrived with security in tow, and the reporters were quickly
ushered away. Nurses took the opportunity to send patients and their families back to their rooms.

“What happened?” Cole’s eyes immediately found Alessia, and he rushed over.
“What got you so upset?” Cole gently cupped Alessia’s face, kissed her softly, then pulled her into a hug,
