Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 388

Cloudia was left speechless.

Five hundred thousand seemed like a lot already, and now they were talking about something even higher?

Cloudia exchanged a glance with Ursula, whose eyes were filled with a desperate plea for survival.

Unable to bear it, Cloudia averted her gaze and looked at Tegan, almost choking on her words. "Is there any other way?"

It was clear that coming up with over three million all at once was an enormous strain for her. Especially considering that Blaise was having issues on his end, and asking him for help right now might be a shot in the dark. Thinking of Blaise and that woman he'd had twins with - a boy and a girl - Cloudia felt a deep, burning anger in her chest.

Tegan replied, "Right now, this is the only option. But given her condition, it would be best to sort it out within a week, or even the medication won't be able to save her."

With that, Tegan left, not bothering to say anything more.

She hadn't lied. Based on the medical information she had, this medication did exist. And due to its exorbitant price, it hadn't been widely released. This was a tangible hope given to them. But whether they could grab onto this hope was entirely up to them.

Left alone in the room, Ursula clutched Cloudia's hand. "Mom, you'll save me, right? You will save me, won't you?"

Cloudia stuttered, "I..."

"Mom, I don't want to die. I really don't want to die."
