Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 631

Victoria slowly turned around as saw Anthony standing on the side of the road, holding a little girl in his arms. There were some scattered pieces of bottles on the ground. At the same time, there was a sudden sound of a brake.

"You're digging your own grave! Can't you see the red light!" He shouted.

The driver roared without getting out of the car. Instead, he rushed away. The little girl was obviously frightened and cried loudly.

After tidying up the girl's clothes, he helped her to pick up some scattered empty bottles and put them back into the torn plastic bag.

"Little girl, why are you still outside at night? Don't play on the road next time. Remember to watch the road, okay?" He said.

"Oh, my bottle, I've lost Grandma's bottle. There were a lot of them! I just wanted to pick up a few more. If Grandma finds out about it, she'll cry! Without these bottles, I can't go to school. We can only eat one meal a day..." The little girl said.

The little girl hugged the bottle and pitifully cried.

"Where are your parents?"

"They passed away. I only have my grandma!"

He took out his wallet and took out all the bills.

"I broke your bag. I'll pay for them. Go home now! Your grandmother will be more worried if she finds out that you aren't home at this hour!" He said.

Upon shaking her head, the little girl said, "I don't want it! You saved me. I can't take your money! Thank you!"

As she spoke, she removed her tattered coat and was ready to wrap up the empty bottles that had fallen. Upon seeing this, Anthony snatched it away and helped her put her clothes back on.

"Who's going to take care of your grandmother if you catch a cold? These bottles won't be enough for medicine!" Anthony said.

The little girl stopped her action as she started to think. Once again, he tried to shove the money into her hand.

"Just assume that I've bought all the bottles you lost, or think that I lent them to you. When you grow up and have money, you can return it to me. There are a lot of bad guys at night. Don't stray out here alone in the future!"

"I... I'm not afraid. Grandma is on the opposite side of the street! I'm very smart. I'll scream when there's a bad guy!" She said.

There was a sense of stubbornness and unswerving determination in her eyes. However, there was some sense of hesitation when she held the money. Upon seeing her sallow and emaciated face, Anthony patted her head and held her rough hands.

"Take it! I've lent it to you, but you have to secretly hide it. When you can't get any bottles, take one out and tell your grandmother that you earned it by picking up a bottle. That way, you can also rest for a day. You don't want her to get sick and hungry, do you? I'll remember you and I'll do bookkeeping. When you grow up, I'll ask you for it," he said.

"Okay, I won't go back on my words," the little girl promised.

As he was speaking, the little girl focused on counting the money. "Eight hundred and twenty-one dollars, I'll keep it in mind! This is so much, we can eat some food for the next few months," she said.

All of a sudden, Anthony's heart ached. He hated that he didn't carry any more cash with him. "You have to hide the money well. Don't lose it and don't get cheated by others. Do you understand?"

All of a sudden, he remembered something. He said, "Put the money away. I'll get you a bag to keep your bottles. If someone sees you, they'll steal it from you."

As he was about to buy a roasted sweet corn to get some change, he saw Victoria at the same stall. He was surprised but still ran over.
