Ellie went to Encounter Bar and learned from Whitney that her mom had been secretly looking for jobs for her and her brother.
This morning, since her mom couldn’t read, her newly hired boss managed to reduce her salary by three hundred dollars a month. Unaware of the going rates, her mom agreed on the spot.
After leaving the restaurant, her mom was blocked and insulted by two other women competing for the dishwashing job at the alley’s entrance. During the scuffle, she was pushed over, right as Whitney happened to pass by and saw everything.
Whitney handed Ellie a glass of juice and said, “Actually, I saw her around this street looking for work a few days ago. I thought you and your brother knew, so I didn’t pay much attention.”
Whitney wore a modernized dress under a cream–colored cashmere coat, with her natural long hair tied into a low ponytail.
She wore oversized metal hoop earrings, with a foreign classic novel by her side. Her petite figure exuded the sophisticated charm of a mature woman.
True to her name, even her voice was soft. “Ellie, don’t tell your mom I came to see you. It looks like she hurt her knee. I suggested taking her to the hospital, but she wouldn’t go.”

Ellie gave a self–deprecating smile, her voice choked with emotion, unable to say another word. In this lifetime, she would never experience the joy of being a mom.
“Why don’t you go back and talk to her about working at my bar Seeing Ellie so down, Whitney couldn’t help but say, “she is honest and can’t read, at least here I can look out for her, and living nearby would make her commute easier.”
“Whitney.” Ellie’s eyes were red as she looked at the beautiful woman in front of her.
Back then, when Ellie had nowhere to go, Whitney took her in and kindly provided her a place to stay. Now, upon learning Ellie’s mom wanted a job, she’s offering help again. In this world there truly are genuinely kind and selfless people,
After Ellie left, Whitney turned and went back to the hotel. Zack the hotel’s security head, couldn’t help but ask, “Whimey, why are you so willing to help Ms. Thompson’s family?”
Whitney opened a book and stared absentmindedly at the bold andwriting on the old bookmark. “Maybe, because they also have the last name Thompson

Each stroke seemed carved on her heart, so deep, so heavy. He just said, “Wait for me.” She left her hometown and endured year after year in this strange city all by herself.
Whitney’s eyes were moist as she silently recited the name etched in her heart. “Jason Thompson, could you really let your Whitney grow old alone?”
A few days later.
