Lucy gave Gwendolyn a hug. “Let's go. Zayden offered to send us to the hospital.”
They walked toward Zayden's car. Zayden stood beside the car, gazing at Gwendolyn intently.
Lucy asked softly, “Zayden has been pursuing you for years. Don't you have any feelings for him?”
Gwendolyn looked at the man clad in a brown suit. Zayden was good-looking and had a good family
background, making him a great candidate for a husband.
However, Gwendolyn had always treated him only as a friend and had never had any extra feelings for
him. Besides, she did not want to burden him.
She had met his family as well, and they wanted him to marry a woman of similar social status as them.
His family did not like her either. They secretly gave her a cheque, asking her to leave Zayden.
Although she refused to accept the money, she had fulfilled their wish, trying as much as possible to
stay away from Zayden.
“None at all. It's impossible for us to be together.”
Hearing Gwendolyn's straightforward answer, Lucy nodded lightly.
She felt that Patrick was an outstanding man. However, since Gwendolyn and Zayden were not meant
to be, Lucy thought that perhaps Gwendolyn could just stick with Patrick instead.
When both of them arrived at Zayden's car, they said in unison, “Zayden, sorry to trouble you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZayden smiled faintly as he answered, “It's my pleasure.”
It was already five in the evening by the time Zayden sent them to the hospital.
They went into the ward and saw several doctors busy working by Melanie's bed. As blood gushed out
of Melanie's nostrils, the doctor inserted some gauze into her nostrils to stop the bleeding.
Being in pain, Melanie kept resisting and crying through her tears, “Mommy! Mommy!”
The doctors pinned her down. Seeing the situation, Lucy quickly rushed over and consoled, “Melanie,
I'm here. Bear with it a little. We need to stop the bleeding.”
Juliette was so terrified that she hugged Gwendolyn's leg and said, “Gwen, Melanie is so pitiful. I hope
she gets well quickly.”
She burst into tears as soon as she finished speaking. Gwendolyn felt extremely distressed as well and
was biting her knuckles anxiously.
Meanwhile, Camille was wiping her tears beside them.
Although Justin and Julian were watching calmly, their eyes showed that they were beyond
heartbroken.
The doctors finally let out a sigh of relief after the bleeding was successfully stopped.
Then, they turned to Lucy and said, “Her illness keeps relapsing. The best solution for her is to undergo
the surgery within six months. If we wait any longer than that, then there will be no hope for her to
recover anymore.”
The doctor's words implied that Melanie had only half a year left to live. The moment Lucy heard that,
her eyes instantly filled with tears.
“Doctor, when will the hospital find a suitable bone marrow donor? We really need one. I'm begging
you.”
One of the doctors read through Melanie's medical report and nodded.
“We'll add Melanie to the emergency list, but you'll have to prepare the money. The treatment fee will
be five hundred thousand. If you have it now, you can submit the money first so that the gene bank will
give priority to finding a bone marrow match for her.”
When Lucy heard that she needed to pay five hundred thousand, her face turned utterly pale. In the
past couple of years, she had spent all her money on treating Melanie's illness. Hence, she did not
have any savings left.
Justin and Julian then walked the doctors out of the ward. The two children were so polite, behaving
like adults.
Melanie had fallen asleep in exhaustion from all the crying.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucy tucked her in under the blanket while Gwendolyn handed Juliette over to Camille.
“Ms. Ziegler, could you bring the kids downstairs and wait for me there? I'll be with you soon. They still
need to attend training tonight.”
With that, Camille held Juliette's hand. Juliette was still sniffling and turned her head to look at Melanie
sorrowfully
Gwendolyn patted Lucy's shoulder and said, “Luce, don't worry. We'll figure something out regarding
the money.”
Lucy sighed and replied, “You shouldn't worry about this. You have three kids to take care of. How
would you be able to get so much money?”
Gwendolyn recalled that her neighbor's son had offered to help her get a loan. He even promised that
she would receive the money on the same day.
She thought that it sounded pretty convenient. Since money was needed to save a person's life, she
wanted to give it a try.
“Luce, I need to go now. I'll call you once I get the money.”
Just as she walked into the elevator, her phone vibrated. She glanced at the screen and saw that she
had received a message from Patrick on WhatsApp.
Patrick: I want to eat pork ribs, catfish stew, sauteed vegetables, and mushroom soup tonight. Below it
was a notification that he had sent Gwendolyn money through PayPal.
