BookToReadChapter 167
Joy felt a twinge in her heart, a mix of emotion and empathy. "Don't worry, Peyton. Ms. Allison is really kind. She
won't mind at all, so you can relax a bit.”
Joy reached out, about to pat Peyton's head gently.
Because of the chemotherapy, Peyton had lost all her hair and always wore a fluffy pink hat when she went out.
Joy knew London had given it to Peyton and she cherished it like a treasure.
Joy's feelings were all over the place, her eyes stinging slightly. Her hand hung in the air for a moment before
she softly lowered it to touch Peyton's hat.
"Don't worry, Peyton. Ms. Allison will definitely help with your brother's case!"
"Okay, okay.” Peyton's tension faded, and she grinned. "Thank you, Ms. Joy and Ms. Allison."
From the back seat, Allison listened to their conversation and sighed deeply to herself.
What a tough life they've got.
Why did misfortune always seem to hit those who were already struggling?

Allison had a big heart and compassion for others, so she felt deeply moved by these situations. Her eyes
brimmed with unshed tears. She took a moment to pull herself together, then turned to the back. “Joy, could you
help Peyton with her seatbelt?"
"Sure."
London and Peyton were both staying in the shospital. It was a typical public hospital, with four beds
crammed into a small room.
It was early winter, and a cold wind whipped outside. The temperatures were low, so the windows of the ward
were tightly shut.
As soon as Allison walked in, she got a whiff of the sour smell coming from the man on the bed near the door. It
seemed like he hadn't bathed in days, and she had to fight back a gag.
She frowned, pushing through her discomfort as she followed Peyton to the back.
London was on the innermost bed. He was leaning against a pillow, staring out the window at the falling leaves.
"London," Peyton called softly.
London turned his head right away. "Peyton, you're here. Have you had lunch?”
Peyton nodded with a smile. "Yeah!"
She was fibbing. That morning, she sneaked out of the hospital to find Joy for help but hadn't had the chance to
eat.
She felt she had no choice but to lie to keep her brother from worrying.
“Joy, you're here too," London greeted with a smile.
After saying hello, London's eyes landed on Allison, and he hesitated, "And who might this be?"
Joy answered, "This is a lawyer from our firm. You can call her Ms. Allison."
Allison nodded in greeting, "Hello.
I've heard about your situation from Joy. Can we talk more about it? can help you get compensation from your
former employer.

Allison spoke up, "It's okay, London You can pay the legal fees from the compensation once you get it, m offering
you a contingency fee arrangement."
London looked confused. "What's a contingency fee arrangement?" Allison explained, “It means if we lose, you
don't have to pay anything."
Hearing this, London's expression changed. “Really? Is that possible?" “Absolutely,” Allison assured him with a
serious nod.
London said, "Well... okay then.”
"Great,” Allison nodded. "I'll need to ask you sdetails about the case."
Joy said, "Ms. Allison, you two go ahead and talk. I'll take Peyton back to her room."
After Allison gathered the necessary information, London took out his phone.
“Ms. Allison, that's the gist of it. If you need anything else, just ask. How about we communicate via text to keep
in touch easily?"
“Sure,” Allison said as she took out her phone and opened WhatsApp,
For lawyers, exchanging contact information with clients was perfectly routine.
