Chad gently settled Evadne into the back seat of his car just as Jason crunning over, breathless and
anxious.
"Ms. Evadne! Are you alright?"
Evadne's expression was complicated, but she forced a reassuring smile for Jason. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Ms. Evadne was almost hit by a car. She fell and hurt her leg-it's the sspot from her previous accident."
Chad cut in before she could keep up the brave act. "I'm concerned her old injury might flare up. | want to take
her to the hospital for a check-up.”
Jason's face fell in guilt. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Evadne. This is my fault-l should have been more careful."
"It's not your fault," Evadne shook her head. "It happened so quickly. No one could have predicted it."
She turned to Chad, her voice polite but insistent. "Thank you, Mr. Chad, for saving me. But my assistant can
taketo the hospital. | don't want to trouble you further."
Chad opened his mouth to respond, but his face suddenly drained of color. His body swayed violently, and he
grabbed onto the car door for support.

Both Evadne and Jason froze in shock.
"Sir!" Jason cried out.
At that moment, Alexia rushed over and caught Chad before he could collapse. She quickly pressed two pills into
his hand.
Chad swallowed them, and after a moment, scolor returned to his cheeks, but his breathing was still
labored.
"Sir, you're pushing yourself too hard!" Alexia's hands trembled as she patted his back, her eyes brimming with
tears. "I heard you threw yourself in front of that car to save Ms. Evadne! Your body can't handle that kind of
strain, you could get seriously hurt!"
Chad struggled to catch his breath, then glanced over at Evadne with a faint, reassuring smile. "It's alright... see?
I'm fine. Just need a little medicine, that's all."
Alexia's voice caught in her throat. "You say you're fine, but | know better than anyone how much it took for you
to walk over here. I've been looking after you long enough to see right through you, sir."
Evadne looked at Chad's pale face, her lips parted in concern. She spoke quietly, "Mr. Chad, thank you... truly, for
saving me."
A gentle warmth flickered in Chad's deep eyes, his lashes fluttering as he smiled. "As long as you're safe, that's
what matters."
"My assistant can taketo the hospital," Evadne insisted. "You should go hand rest."
But her tone softened as she added, "Still, | owe you one, Mr. Chad. | won't forget it."
Chad's gaze turned tender. "If you want to repay me, letvisit you at the hospital. That's all | ask."
Evadne hesitated, biting her lip. She had no real reason to refuse-not after what he'd done for her. Finally, she
nodded her assent.
With that, Evadne and Jason left the charity home.
Chad eased himself back into his wheelchair, and Alexia began to wheel him back inside.
