Chapter 5~ Rejected

“C-can you operate on her while I look for the money? I don’t have right-”

Tessa began to negotiate, however, she was quickly cut off before she could finish her sentence.

“It doesn’t work like that, Miss,” the doctor shook her head. Almost every day, she had to deal with such cases. But it was just impossible to do surgery minus the payment. “The surgery will be done as soon as you pay.”

Tessa’s stomach twisted when the doctor left. She had nowhere to get money.

She suddenly thought of someone who could help her. He was not just anyone. But a billionaire who could get access to anything in Ashford city including the best health services available.

With bated breath, she took out her phone and typed him a message since she knew calling him was futile.

[Aaron, my mother has cancer and she needs to undergo surgery right now. I really need your help this time.]

She thought about something for a few seconds and edited Aaron to Mr Wentworth. She didn’t want him to think she was trying to cling to him.

Her heart sank deeper and deeper when five minutes passed but there was no response from Aaron.

‘Are you that cruel to not help me out when I’m in such a dire situation?’

Tessa could only feel sorry for herself, coupled with the pain in her chest. Turns out the man she had thought was kind-hearted was the exact opposite instead.

He was ruthless and heartless.

She clenched her fists at her sides and took in a sharp breath.

Since Aaron didn’t want to pick up the call, she decided to go to the Wentworth group and ask for his help directly.

It did not take long for Tessa to arrive at the Wentworth group but she was denied entry.

“I’m sorry, Miss Hilton but Mr Wentworth has given out the order not to allow you into the company premises,” Lydia, the receptionist at the entrance said, her eyes flitting with guilt.

A pang of pain shot threw Tessa but she wasn’t surprised anymore. Aaron had made sure she got the memo. The love of his life had returned so she needed to back off.

“I want to talk to him about a serious matter. At least call him and let him know I’m here.”

The receptionist felt awkward. Actually, the CEO had instructed her to stop Tessa from going up to his office because he didn’t want Serena and Tessa to meet.

Serena had been frequenting the company lately and right at that moment, she was with Aaron in his office. So there was no way Tessa would be allowed to go up.

It would be disastrous if Serena found out about his mistress. She might refuse to marry him again and leave.

Lydia forced a smile at Tessa. “I’m sorry. He doesn’t want to hear any news about you.”
