Chapter 5

Jason held Fia’s shoulders firmly and said, “You know that treatment for this kind of disease will cost a lot of money. Even then, the treatment might not work at all.”

Fia’s tears blurred her vision as they flowed. She could not even keep herself still.

“She’s everything to me. She didn’t give me up when I was little. I won’t give up on her now.”

“Alright.”

Jason walked toward his office door and gave the Hospital Director a call.

When Fia heard him telling the director about her mother’s situation and even requesting a discussion with the Oncology Department about this, she felt so grateful.

After he was done with the call, she sobbed gratefully. “Thank you. Thank you!”

Jason looked at the beautiful woman in front of him whose eyes were red from all the crying.

He felt stuffy in his chest and slowed down as he spoke. “You need to put down 45,000 dollars as a deposit. The follow-up treatment will also cost a hefty sum. I suggest that…”

“I’ll go and prepare the money right now.”

Fia left the office and immediately gave Conrad a call despite her disappointment toward him.

She had married Conrad before she even finished university and the Maxwell family refused to let her work. That was why she had no job and no salary.

While there was a lot of expensive jewelry and clothing at home, those were given to her by Conrad. Technically, she didn’t own them.

Aside from Conrad, she didn’t know who else she could go to for help.

When she heard Conrad’s voice coming from the other end, she quickly asked, “Can you lend me 45,000 dollars?”

There was a momentary pause. “What happened?”

Conrad almost couldn’t react to her request. It was the first time she had asked him for money during their three-year marriage.

Fia sniffed and sobbed. “My mom’s been admitted to the hospital. Please lend me 45,000 dollars for the treatment. Please, lend me some money… I’ll pay you back when I start working.”

“Which hospital are you at right now? I’ll head over soon.”
