All Chapters of When A Petty Bank Teller Kills Hope: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

My temper flared instantly.The photo on my employee badge had only been taken a month ago. How could I not look like it? But thinking of Lucy's worsening condition, I forced myself to swallow my anger."How can I prove that I'm the person in the photo?"Judith rolled her eyes as she answered arrogantly, "How should I know? Aren't you the one who likes following procedures? Go online and look up the bank's regulations, then prepare everything again."I clenched my fists silently, forced a smile, and tried to stay friendly and polite."Ma'am, could you please make an exception? This money is to be paid to the hospital for surgical fees. It's an urgent, life-saving matter! The little girl I'm helping—""Stop right there!" Judith cut me off immediately. "Miss, these are bank regulations. Your paperwork raises red flags. I can't possibly take on the risk just to help process it!""Besides, everyone who comes to the bank is in a hurry. Go back and prepare additional verification docu

After discovering this truth, I sat there in shock for a long time.It wasn't until my phone notification sounded that I finally snapped back to reality. It was a message from Judith."Morgan, have you deposited the funds yet? The hospital just called again. If they don't receive the surgical fees soon, someone else is going to take the kidney!"When I didn't reply, she even anxiously called my private number for the first time.But I found it all laughable. She hadn't been in a hurry at all when I was begging her to process the check. Now that I no longer needed to deposit it, she suddenly knew how to panic.I went ahead and powered down my phone.Even though there were no issues with my work procedure or paperwork, the video had caused too much online backlash for me to continue going into work for the time being. The organization gave me extended leave, and all the projects I was handling were put on hold until the controversy died down.I went dark on all my social media app

Judith stood frozen in place, as if she'd been struck by lightning. She even forgot to turn off the live stream.I imagined that the viewers watching her live stream right now were just as stunned and shocked as she was.After a long moment, she finally shook her head in disbelief, muttering to herself as she did so."No… She's Morgan Singer? That's impossible! Morgan is supposed to be a considerate, handsome, and wealthy man!"A man?I suddenly recalled that Judith and I had only ever communicated through social media. She had never heard my voice before. And my profile picture just happened to be of a male model I admired.When I first took on Lucy's case, I felt really sorry for the mother and daughter. I often comforted Judith, and before their assistance application was approved, I'd even sent them 20 thousand dollars.And somehow, my kindness had led her to mistake me for a man?No wonder she'd never suspected I was Morgan. And she'd even put on makeup ahead of today's me

Even now, Judith showed no remorse or guilt whatsoever. She was still trying to pin the unfortunate consequences of her own terrible actions onto me."Yesterday on the phone, I told you to seek help from other charities," I said to her, my voice flat and my expression cold. "But you told me you could easily restore our accounts and insisted I come here.""The one who caused your daughter to lose this funding isn't me—it's you, who falsely accused me! If it weren't for the huge backlash from your video, the organization never would've canceled the funding, and Lucy would've already had her surgery by now!"Each of my words hit Judith like a knife to the chest. Realizing that she was the one who cost Lucy the funds, she collapsed to the floor and burst into hysterical wails."My daughter is only five years old! She's lying in the ICU right now, waiting for a kidney. The doctors are urging us to get the surgery done, but without the surgical fees, what will happen to her?"All I felt
