Promise You a Prosperous Life - C3

Fifty thousand dollars? Even if I searched every corner of the house, I wouldn’t even be able to take out five hundred now. I grabbed the nurse by the sleeve and pleaded.

“Nurse, even if I have to sell my blood, I will pay a deposit. But please, you have to save my mother. She has already become delirious and can no longer bear the tribulations. Please, I beg you.”

As I said these words, tears streamed down my face, but I didn’t dare to wipe them away. At this moment, the nurse was the only hope I had left for my mother to live.

The nurse guessed something from my expression. She pulled my hands away and said quickly, “The hospital is full of people like you. If you can’t take care of them, you’d better go and raise some money.”

The nurse disappeared, and the door to the operating room slammed shut.

My hopes for the hospital were dashed. I stared at the closed door, my tears threatening to flow again, but when I looked up, I held them back.

I reminded myself that what was important now was not to cry, but to raise money.

I took out my cell phone and dialed the number to the north of the city. As soon as I picked up, my nose couldn’t help but feel sore.

“Uncle, my mother is in the hospital and desperately needs 50,000 yuan. Can I trouble you to lend it to me? Don’t worry, I will write you a promissory note and you won’t go back on your word.”

“Your mom isn’t dead yet, but let me tell you, your uncle hasn’t eaten for a day after you two made a ruckus. Gu Yan, if you still want your uncle alive, don’t disturb us in the future.”

When I opened my mouth to apologize, Zhao Xiafang had already hung up the phone. Helplessly, I dialed the number of my aunts and uncles. It wasn’t that I couldn’t reach her, it was just that she hung up with a ring.

At this moment, the image of Yu Mo Yi’s bank card appeared in my mind. Perhaps with this card, it would be able to solve all of my problems, even temporarily alleviating my predicament.

However, he didn’t ask for it then, but would he give it now?

After hesitating for a long time, I finally gave up on the idea of finding Yu Mo Yi, because even if I gave my all, I might not even be able to get my hands on that card.

Now, I have no choice but to save myself.

I wanted to sell my blood, but a few hundred dollars was like a drop in the bucket. I also wanted to find a job, but even if I did a few jobs, I couldn’t make up for the deposit. As I was about to pull out a lock of my hair, I suddenly thought of my wedding insurance.

But when I rushed to the hospital with money for saving my life, I ran into a thief.

As I shouted for help, I protected the money with all my might. The thief viciously punched me in the head, causing my vision to darken. I fainted and fell to the ground. The money was taken away by the thief.

Just before I fainted, I thought I saw Yu Mo step out of a car by the side of the road, but how could that be possible? I would rather believe that it was just an illusion, and the next second, I didn’t know anything at all.

When I woke up again, I was surrounded by white walls and white bedclothes. I was sent to the hospital, but I was penniless.

Resisting the pain everywhere, I lifted the quilt and tried to get up, but my head went blank and there were stars in front of my eyes.

When the nurse who was packing up the instruments at the side saw me, she pressed me down on the bed and scolded, “You get up at such a low level of blood sugar. You’re courting death.”

I knew she was doing it for my own good, so I whispered, “I can’t live here because I don’t have any money.”

My voice trailed off, and my face reddened.

The nurse looked surprised. “You’ve already paid the medical fees. It’s Director Yu Mo who regularly sponsors our hospital. Don’t you know about it?”

I was even more surprised than the nurse when I heard this. The man I designed to go to bed with? Could it be that the situation before he fainted was all real?

Doubtful, I was about to inquire into the details when I heard whispers from the half-open door. One was the attending physician, and the other was Yu Moyi.

The attending physician’s voice was full of respect, “Director Yu, Miss Gu’s blood sugar is a little low. Coupled with the fact that she fainted due to an emergency, it’ll be alright after a few days of recuperation.”

Yu Moyi was sincere as he said, “Doctor Han is resting today and has hurried over with great effort. Thank you!”

Doctor Han was somewhat excited, but unexpectedly expressed his thanks. “A doctor’s duty is to save the dying and help the wounded. This is something I should do. Thank you very much for your appreciation, Director Yu.”

The conversation ended and Yu Mo strode into the ward.
