Chapter 349 Chapter 349: Open Your Mouth
The employee quickly understood and went to make arrangements.
Once the employee left the office, Rebecca took Estelle’s hand and spoke in a hushed tone, “What happened between you and York yesterday? Is he still eyeing the company?”
Before answering her, Estelle suddenly remembered that there were some candies in her pocket.
As she suffered from hypoglycemia, she would put some candies in her pocket before going out every day.
When she saw Estelle take out the candy from her suit pocket, Rebecca was surprised. “Are you Doraemon? You know I’m hungry, so you conjured a candy for me?”
Hearing this, Estelle unwrapped the candy wrapper and put the candy to Rebecca’s lips.
“Open your mouth.”
“Ahhh...” Rebecca opened her mouth obediently and ate the candy.
While savoring the sweetness of the candy, Rebecca sighed emotionally and expressed, “Well, it’s so good to have you with me. You are the one who treats me best in the world.”
Estelle, with her arms folded, gazed at her and inquired, “Did you have another argument with Justin?”
“No, we didn’t quarrel. But he can be so overly cautious. Even though it’s December, it’s not cold at all. He insisted I wear a heavier dress and wouldn’t let me leave until I was bundled up. I probably don’t look very fashionable today, right?”
“Rebecca, Justin is just concerned about your well-being,” Estelle reassured her.
“...I understand,” Rebecca replied, her tone softening.
“Do you know how much I wish I could hear from Mr. Mysterious again...” Estelle sighed.
“Estelle, don’t be sad. By the way, I’m here to help you today!”
“Help me?” Estelle was puzzled.
“Yes!” Rebecca declared, “You know I work at the TV station now. We’re currently preparing for a dating show. Since you’re single now, you can participate. I’ve seen the profiles of the male contestants. They are all young, talented, tall, and good-looking!”
Estelle’s initial reaction was to decline the offer.
She said, “No, thanks. I’m too busy with company matters, taking care of the children, and searching for a suitable liver donor for Christina…”
“Don’t reject me just yet. Those male contestants have good connections. Maybe they can assist you in finding a suitable donor,” Rebecca suggested.
“You mean I should use those male contestants for that purpose? But, Rebecca, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea,” Estelle hesitated, feeling it might not be appropriate.
“No, no, no. You can achieve two goals at once!” Rebecca exclaimed, taking out her phone and showing Estelle a photo on it.
“Take a look. This is a list of the male contestants that I secretly captured. I’ve gathered information on them for you. One of them is a doctor specializing in liver diseases.”
Then she pointed at the photo of a male guest called Derrick Carrey.
‘A doctor specializing in liver disease? Does it mean that he can help Christina?’ Thinking about this, Estelle couldn’t help but take a closer look at Derrick’s photo.
Derrick appeared to be around thirty-five years old. Unlike the other male contestants, he didn’t wrap himself with branded clothing or luxurious accessories like designer watches or bracelets.
Instead, he wore a simple white T-shirt and jeans in the photo, with a gentle smile on his face.
Observing his smile, Estelle whispered, “He looks like...”
“He looks like Cristofer, doesn’t he?” Rebecca interjected. “Since Mr. Mysterious is Cristofer's twin brother, you could also say this doctor resembles Mr. Mysterious. I specifically gathered information about him for you. According to my colleague, Dr. Carrey is kind and gentle, much like Mr. Mysterious in character.”
Estelle stared at the photo quietly, her mouth tightening into a thin line.
Actually, Derrick looked like Mr. Mysterious, only in eyes and eyebrows. But his gentle temperament was the same as Mr. Mysterious’.
The smile lifted the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of gentleness, which made Estelle think of the doting smile of Mr. Mysterious when he gazed at her affectionately.
“Is he a local?” Estelle asked.
“Yes. Unfortunately, both of his parents died when he was young, and he grew up in a welfare house.”
Hearing this, Estelle rubbed her forehead with a helpless smile and said, “Rebecca, you’ve turned into quite the matchmaker.”
“Haha, I don’t mind playing matchmaker for the sake of you!” Rebecca laughed and replied. She then held Estelle’s hand and continued, “Estelle, I’ve witnessed everything you’ve gone through over the years. You’ve endured so much, whether it was with Cristofer or Mr. Mysterious. You’ve helped me countless times, and now I want to help you.”
“You really don’t have to do this, Rebecca. But thank you, nonetheless. And I don’t feel like I’ve done much to help you. In those situations, anyone would have stepped in to support you when they saw you being mistreated by your peers. I just did what anyone should do,” Estelle said with a gentle smile.
“You helped me with that and in many other ways. Without you, the Miller Group would have gone bankrupt. It was because of you that Mr. Mysterious generously invested tens of millions of dollars in the Miller Group and helped us with our cash flow problems.”
“It wasn’t me, but Mr. Mysterious who helped you. I didn’t contribute much to that situation,” Estelle replied softly.
“You also helped me with Christina’s situation,” Rebecca continued, “Back then, Howard... Well, let’s not talk about that scumbag. Christina is unlucky to have such a father. Without you taking care of her, I don’t know what I would have done...Alas...”
At the mention of the past, Estelle replied with seriousness, “Rebecca, only those who truly care about you will go to such lengths to help. Justin genuinely loves you.”
“I understand,” Rebecca nodded.
Thinking about Howard, she puffed out her cheeks in frustration and then expressed her anger, “Estelle, I really should have considered your advice and ended things with Howard much sooner. I was too headstrong back then. Not only did I harm myself, but my parents also lost a significant amount of money because of my stubbornness. “
“It was not your fault,” Estelle consoled her, “Howard knew that you didn’t want to be controlled by your family, so he deliberately catered to your desires and got close to you to take advantage. Who could have guessed he was such a despicable person?”
“Estelle,” Rebecca said as she hugged her, returning to their previous topic. “Could you please just hear me out this one time? Dr. Carrey is genuinely a good man. Trust me. Give me the chance to repay you.”
Estelle hesitated momentarily before finally giving in, her expression slightly embarrassed. “I really have a packed schedule, you know? I’m swamped with work every day...”
