Chapter 131
Courtney was stunned for a moment, who was shocked and unable to respond
“Thad Tyson investigate your parents‘ history. Your parents dedicated their lives to healthcare and donated a lot to research organizations
“They even mentioned to their colleagues that once the old house was tom down, they would donate the money to support the nation’s medical field,” Hayden said softly.
“Hayden, Courtney called him, whose voice was a bit choked up. She found that Hayden always managed to surprise and move her
“Let me finish, Hayden interrupted her, pulling Courtney into his arms and holding her hand
“The money you have isn’t huge, but it’s significant enough to attract attention. You need to remember not to show your wealth openly because once people notice and start thinking about it, problems will arise,” he reminded Courtney.
Hayden was worried that Austin might do something even more terrifying than sending Courtney to a mental hospital. After all, when people were confronted with substantial benefits, they often acted irrationally, Hayden felt apprehensive, even now he was still anxious.
“Donate the money publicly, in your parents‘ name, so Austin and those behind him know that you no longer have it,” Hayden suggested, looking at
Courtney.
Hayden put Courtney’s safety on the top priority.
As long as Courtney donated the money publicly, it would indeed attract widespread attention. The media would positively report on her heroic actions, and people would also remember her time trapped during peacekeeping in South Weidan.
Courtney would be in the spotlight and recognized for her bravery. At that time, James’s people would have to think carefully before going after Courtney.
“Then we’ll truly be a poor couple and may be in endless troubles. Don’t you think Austin has a point? Life isn’t just about dreams and adventures. It’s also about practical needs like food and something else, Courtney said with a helpless smile.
“Huh? My wife doesn’t have the confidence to support me?” Hayden asked with a smile.
“I still have retirement benefits, disability aid, and those hefty bonuses that haven’t come through yet. Once my mission is over, I still have…” he didn’t finish his words.
Hayden paused a bit, almost blurting out the death compensation. If he died, although this money wouldn’t mean much, it was still something.
Courtney’s eyes were fixed on Hayden, and her heart was racing. She was terrified he’d finish that sentence.
“I’ll donate it,” Courtney said. She had actually wanted to give this money away ever since Austin returned it to her.
She was
once also considering buying back the old house. Since Carl said the buyer had resold the old house and no information could be found, Courtney gave up hope finally.
She thought that maybe some things were just destined to never belong to her. Money and property were just worldly possessions for her. Aher facing death, Courtney learned to look beyond these things.
“Let’s donate it and start fresh. We’ll have a modest but ordinary life,” Courtney said softly.
For some reason, she was actually looking forward to it, like being stuck in darkness for so long and suddenly seeing a chance to be reborn. It turned out that a new way of living could rekindle one’s hope for life.

Hayden nodded and gave Courtney a thumbs up. “My wife is the best, treating money like it’s nothing,” he praised her.
“I didn’t. It’s just that you are not like him,” Courtney murmured softly, resting her head on Hayden’s shoulder.
Hayden was not ke Austin. He asked Courtney to donate the money, which was also a way to express his feelings.
He wanted to build a life with Courtney because he loved her but not because of money. Only someone like Austin would value money more than
Courtney.

“Alright, so we’ve agreed on how to divide this money. Let me just…” Hayden said as he grinned idiotically and pulled a document bag from the couch. It was delivered earlier by Tyson’s bodyguard.
“What are you doing? Don’t bring up that inheritance stuff with me,” said Courtney, who eyed Hayden cautiously.
“It’s not bad luck. It’s just in case. What if I’m gone and someone comes to cause trouble? What if some di contesting things?” Hayden tried to convince Courtney.
distant relatives suddenly show up and start
Hearing this, Courtney was a bit upset. Right now, she was really scared of losing the people she cared about.
“Stop saying things like that,” Courtney said as she lowered her head, her eyes becoming red.
When Hayden was critically injured and had to undergo three major surgeries, she was outside the operating room, praying
From being an atheist to now praying for guidance in every decision, only Courtney herself knew how desperate and helpless she felt.
“Then just sign it, and be good,” Hayden said, who blocked Courtney from looking at the asset details, pointing at the signature line. “Go ahead, sign it,” he insisted
“With that small amount of money,” Courtney said and she almost laughed. She thought that his little asset was just not worth printing on a dozen sheets of paper.
She was curious to see what Hayden had printed out.
However, Hayden quickly covered it up, not allowing a peek. “Don’t look, just sign it. This is the inheritance my parents left for me,” he explained.
Courtney was in shock. “It’s from your parents, why are you giving it to me?” she asked.
“Who else would I give it to? You’re my only wife,” Hayden replied, also looking so surprised.
Courtney laughed at Hayden’s words, asking, “Hayden, Do you know how Lorraine and Jay describe you?”
“They call you a fallen angel, Lucifer, or a big bad demon, Satan. You give off this creepy vibe like you could kill without blinking, I didn’t expect you to be like this,” Courtney explained, who thought the contrast in Hayden was striking
However, Hayden seemed to have a magnetic charm, since when Courtney was with him, she felt like a fish finally able to breathe.
She was like a poisoned person on the brink of death, finally finding the antidote.
