Mrs. Sweeney angrily said to Grace, “What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you on the phone that if you remember how good Lina was to you that you should stop hara**ing us? Lina has given up so much for you. Now that this has happened to her, can’t you just leave our family alone?”
“I… I just want to know what happened to Lina and if there’s anything I can do to help,” Grace sobbed while speaking.
Mrs. Sweeney snapped. “Help? What can you do to help? You’re an ex-convict. You’re neither a doctor nor a police officer. What can you do? Treat Lina? Or help Lina find the culprit?”
Grace clenched her teeth. She could not contradict Mrs.
Sweeney’s words.
No, all she could do was look at the injured Lina but do nothing to help!
Mr. Sweeney was calmer than Mrs. Sweeney. He grabbed his wife and said, “Alright, stop talking about it. What’s the use of telling her?”
With that, Mr. Sweeney said to Grace, “Lina is in bad shape. As you can see, our family is in a mess now. We’re already in a bad mood, and we hope that you won’t show up in front of us. Although we know what happened to Lina this time has nothing.
to do with you, we’re reminded of how much Lina gave up for you. when we see you, so we’ll always bear a grudge against you.”
“I… I understand that,” said Grace. She had never blamed Mr.
Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney. Any parent would not like to see their child sacrifice their promising future for a friend.
Just then, a nurse came over and handed a bill to Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney. “We’ve deducted the deposit from before. Your still owe some money, so you should pay up as soon as possible. Lina still has two more surgeries to go. And with the cost of the ICU ward and the subsequent costs, family members better prepare… more than a million dollars.”
That knocked Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney out of their wits. More than a million dollars? How could an ordinary family like them have so much money?!
“That… That much money?” Mr. Sweeney asked with a quiver.
“That depends. You need to ask the doctor about the details, but more than a million dollars is only the minimum you need. It’s possible the treatment will cost more money later,” the nurse said.
After the nurse left, Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney looked miserable as they held the bill.
“What do we do? The money…” Mrs. Sweeney said helplessly. The couple’s savings were down to a little more than 100,000 dollars, which was just a drop in the ocean to save their daughter.
However, if they failed to pay up, the hospital would only give their daughter basic treatment and stop her medicine. They would only keep her alive. If that was the case, how long could their daughter stay alive? Perhaps even if she could stay alive, she would only be a living dead.
Mr. Sweeney furrowed his brows. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind. “If there’s no other way, let’s sell the house. We can sell the house for more than a million dollars.”
“But… What if it’s still not enough? Didn’t the nurse say they have no idea how long she has to stay in the ICU ward? And the recovery treatment fees later on….
“We don’t have much of a choice. Our daughter’s life is what matters the most. If we run out of money afterward, I’ll find a way to cure my daughter even if I have to beg for food on my knees.
Besides, we have Hadwin. When Hadwin shows up, he’ll surely find a way to save Lina!” said Mr. Sweeney.
“But Hadwin’s missing. No one knows what happened to him.
Could he already…” Mrs. Sweeney sobbed, not daring to think about it any further.
Grace felt as if a knife had pierced her heart as she listened to what they just said.
Sell their house? She knew Lina’s parents had only one house. Where was the elderly couple going to stay if they sold it? Rent a house? Lina would then wake up only to find her home gone!
“Uncle and Aunt, I… I’ll find a way to raise the money for Lina’s medical bills,” said Grace.
However, Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney did not believe her.
Mrs. Sweeney even said, “What are you talking about? What money can you raise? Go away. Don’t bother our family again!”
Grace took a deep breath and cast another deep glance at her best friend lying on the hospital bed.
‘Lina, you must hold on and wait for me to raise the money for your medical bills. I must make Lina survive and recover no matter what!’
Grace hurried out of the hospital. Now, the only person she could think of who could come up with such a large sum of money at once was Brian.
One to two million dollars might be nothing to Brian, but for Lina, it was the money needed to save her life!
Grace took out her phone and dialed thian’s number, but no one answered She clenched her teeth and went to Brian’s ward at
City First Hospital, but it was empty the now she got from the nurse was that Brian had gone through the discharge formalities this afternoon!
‘Where else? Where else can I find Brian?
Grace’s mind kept thinking, the Hart family’s mansion or Bilan’s… private mansion?
She remembered Brian mentioning that he usually stayed in his private mansion, and the addous of the mansion was Grace remembered that online gossip news entioned the addon before
After all, Brian was the crown prince of the entertainment industry. Many people know where his private mansion was, but it was not easy for just about anyone to enter. After all, it had the bout security system in the world and a lot of security guards.
Grace took a taxi and gave the driver Brian’s mansion’s address.
Hearing that, the driver immediately advised, “You’re not going to the crown prince’s mansion to try your luck, are you? Oh, you’ll only get stopped outside. How can ordinary people get in?I advise you not to take any chances.”
Grace only said lightly, “Drive”
As he drove along, the driver rambled on about the women his peers had driven to the mansion. In the end, the security guards there only reported these women to the police for trying to break into the mansion. Then they were hauled off to the police station.
“There are always women these days who want to try their luck, thinking that once they get into a rich and powerful family, they won’t have to struggle anymore. But do they think it’s that easy to snag the crown prince? Many beautiful women in the entertainment industry want to snag him as well, let alone ordinary women” The way the driver spoke clearly showed that he had taken Grace for a woman who also wanted to snag Brian.
Grace did not explain herself either. Now, all she could think about was Lina’s illness!
For the first time, she felt how badly she needed money. However, Brian was now the only person with that kind of money.
Only he… would be willing to lend her such a large sum of money.
She sat in the car nervously. She paid the fare and got out quickly when she reached her destination.
The mansion’s iron gates were closed. A security guard approached Grace and questioned her.
“I need to urgently see Brian,” Grace said quickly.
“Young Master Hart isn’t someone that you can see whenever you want. Go away. Don’t make us call the police and report you for hara**ment,” said the security guard as he looked at Grace with.
some disdain.
After all, he had seen quite a few women coming here wanting to try their luck and snag the crown prince!
“It’s an urgent matter!” said Grace. What the security guard said confirmed that Brian was probably here right now. “Help me.
inform Brian by saying Grace wants to meet him. He’ll see me!”
However, the security guard was unmoved. If the woman in front of him was the type of woman who wanted to approach the crown. prince, he would only be asking for trouble if he made the phone.call!
Grace had no choice but to keep calling Brian on her phone, but all she heard was the busy tone over and over again.
Just then, a car suddenly pulled up and Stella got out of it. There was a look of surprise in her eyes when she saw Grace. She stepped forward and said, “Grace, why are you here?”
Grace took a deep breath and said to Stella, “I want to see Brian.
I have a friend who’s seriously injured and is in the ICU.
