Chapter 1599: 1599. Nothing of great importance
Although Helen lendy doesn’t have much of a family background or money, she grew up under the envious eyes of many.
For the first ti, she noticed the pity in others’ eyes, a sympathy brought about by her physical disability.
She lowered her gaze, unsure whether to cry or laugh.
She lifted her eyes and looked at the gentleman who first spoke up for her.
He was dressed in a smoky gray suit, a pair of rimless glasses perched on his nose, giving him a refined and handso look.
Instinctively, she began to compare him with Harry Hall.
He was very good-looking, with a much gentler expression than Harry Hall.
In comparison, Harry Hall’s deanor appeared colder.
Realizing that she involuntarily started comparing him to Harry Hall, she couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
The man, seeing Helen lendy looking at him, appeared slightly taken aback, then courteously nodded at her.
Helen returned a grateful smile, then withdrew her gaze, not engaging in further exchange.
Regarding the mockery from the two girls earlier, she indeed felt a bit upset initially, but quickly brushed it off.
The fact that she couldn’t walk anymore was an unchangeable reality. In the future, she would encounter such situations often. If she took each one to heart, she would only end up tornting herself.
When the elevator reached the first floor, those two girls who mocked her were the first to squeeze out, hurriedly disappearing from everyone’s sight.
After others had gradually exited the elevator, Helen lendy pushed her wheelchair outward.
Unexpectedly, the wheelchair’s wheels got stuck in the elevator door track, and she couldn’t move it no matter how hard she tried.
At that mont, soone gently held her wheelchair, adjusted its position slightly, and helped push her out.
Helen turned around and saw it was the man who had spoken up for her in the elevator.
She thought everyone had already left the elevator and hadn’t noticed him standing behind her.
“Having difficulty walking is not an unforgivable thing. You can ask soone for help.”
He looked down at her, smiling warmly, his voice as calming as a spring breeze.
He didn’t avoid discussing her legs, unlike so who, perhaps out of kindness, would deliberately avoid talking about her condition to not hurt her self-esteem.
The man spoke candidly, as if, in his view, Helen’s inability to walk was nothing more significant than a small cut on the foot.
This did not make Helen feel disrespected. Instead, it gave her the feeling of being treated equally.
Hearing his words, she gave a grateful smile, “Thank you.”
“You’re welco.”
His hand was still on the wheelchair’s handle as he asked:
“Do you need to help you outside the building?”
Helen shook her head with a smile, “No need, it’s quite convenient here. My driver is just outside, so I won’t delay you any longer.”
Seeing her refusal, the man didn’t insist. He nodded and then moved to leave.
This little episode hadn’t stayed on Helen’s mind as she pushed her wheelchair outside.
Elly Campbell received a call from Helen lendy while she was preparing to finish work.
When Helen ntioned that she invited so colleagues from the firm to hang out and asked if she wanted to join, Elly naturally agreed without a second thought.
“Let tidy up, I’ll be right there.”
Elly, holding her phone in one hand, carried the coffee she hadn’t finished drinking with the other, and walked out of the office.
