Adrian Law also felt a faint worry rising in his heart.
"Cecilia, have you thought about whether helping that girl like this has any benefit for you?"

Cecilia Vaughn hesitated for a moment.
"Are you afraid that my kindness will turn into a grudge? Actually, I didn't plan to help her much, just secured her a spot as an external guest. In the end, after editing, she might only get five or six minutes on TV, maybe even less."
There's an old saying in Veridia, 'a drop of kindness should be paid back with a spring.'
But that's for the person receiving kindness.
For the giver, there's more ancient wisdom advising not to seek rewards for good deeds, but Cecilia Vaughn doesn't fully agree with this.
Reciprocating kindness is best when there's an exchange; no matter the relationship, one-sided giving means you're blinded by foolishness.
