Although Helen Melendy doesn't have much of a family background or money, she grew up under the envious eyes of many.
For the first time, 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 handsome 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 demeanor appeared colder.
Realizing that she involuntarily started comparing him to Harry Hall, she couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
The man, seeing Helen Melendy 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.
