Volume 10 – Chapter 20: Pleb (Part 2)
This was probably the last stage of a saddest sex worker’s life. Caroline couldn’t even see any hope in Nia’s eyes.
She seemed to have no children and no lover, let alone family. Caroline had visited her several times. She had never heard of anyone other than her visiting this dying person.
In fact, every time Caroline saw Nia’s situation, she would be frightened. She would suddenly imagine herself being the person lying in bed. The scene of Nia desperately looking at the ceiling without blinking an eye made her legs weak and out of breath.
“Would you like an apple? I can cut one for you.” Caroline pulled the chair over and sat down in front of the hospital bed.
Nia didn’t speak but just turned her eyes. Her gaze cast on Caroline as if she just noticed a person she knew came by.
“They said they could perform an operation on me. If it succeeds, I have a moderate chance of surviving.”
Caroline, who was concentrating on peeling the apple, heard a dry voice. Her eyes widened, and she looked at Nia. Nia was also looking at her at this time.
For the first time, what Caroline saw in Nia’s eyes was not lifeless.
“But I don’t have enough money,” said Nia slowly.
“You want my help?” Caroline instinctively acted defensive at Nia’s gaze, hesitating, “You should know that I can’t fork out much. If it costs a lot, I can’t help it. “
Caroline moved her position subconsciously, blocking her handbag at the back of the chair. Inside the handbag was the bank card with a huge sum of wealth.
“I know.” Nia shook her head hard.
Her gaze made Caroline uncomfortable, and Caroline subconsciously looked elsewhere.
Nia said slowly, “I want you to find someone for me. He is a lawyer, and he is also a regular customer of mine. So he can help me.”
“Lawyer…” Caroline said in surprise, “That seems like a rich man?”
Maybe there’s love and romance in between. Caroline guessed so.
“I want to ask a lawyer to help me sell my property. I want to try this operation anyway.”
The dying woman had a strong will to live in her eyes. Caroline frowned. “Your house probably doesn’t worth much.”
The old houses in the slums tend to remain unsold. Even if it was sold, Caroline thought it wouldn’t be enough. This hospital burned money like the devil every moment.
“I also have a house in the City’s West District.” Caroline was surprised.
The West District was a newly developed area dominated by high-end residential areas. The housing prices there were so expensive that the wage-earner couldn’t afford it. Nia seemingly had her dream house already.
This dying woman had already accomplished her goal for a long time. But she was about to die, so she had to sell her house to survive.
Caroline felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Later, it was time for her check-up. Again, Caroline did a lot of tests under the orders of doctors and nurses. As for the test’s results, it would take a week to be completed.
In this regard, Caroline did not care about it at first.
She just knew that she agreed to Nia’s request in the end and tried to find the man who might have had a romantic relationship with Nia when she was young.
…
So, have I transmigrated to another world?
Looking at the endless darkness in front of him… or rather a scene akin to chaos and nothingness, Yu Danqiang scratched his armpit subconsciously. He had been stuck in this place for a while.
Where he was at this time had a vast platform extending from one side. The floor tiles on the platform were jade in color, but the material wasn’t precisely jade.
Yu Danqiang was certain about this because he had a piece of family jade with him.
Yu Danqiang frowned. He turned around and looked up ahead. There was a huge palace. Yu Danqiang couldn’t tell what the style was. But the palace was much bigger than any palace in the pictures he had ever seen.
A huge and majestic palace built on a huge platform. This platform floated in the void and primal chaos. Had it not been for a supernatural battle before coming to this place, Yu Danqiang would think it might be a dream.
He subconsciously squeezed the wood talisman in his hand. There was no doubt that he came to this place because he picked up the wood palace.
But, what exactly is this place?
He had been in this place for quite a while. Although his phone had no signal, he could still look for the time. He had been stuck there for more than half an hour!
How should I go back?
Will there be any horrible things in this place?
At this moment, a shadow suddenly flew out of a pavilion in that colossal palace, getting closer and closer. Yu Danqiang exhausted all his focus on vision and finally saw the true appearance of this shadow.
She was a cute girl, wearing a blue one-piece swimsuit with a… yellow duck swimming ring.
The girl had short hair and looked like she was only about thirteen years old. She seemed to have noticed the new person on the platform, so she landed quickly.
“Little sister, what is this place?” Yu Danqiang swallowed his saliva.
Of course, he didn’t have any special hobbies for girls of this kind. He just wanted to know where he was.
Of course, watching this girl come from the sky also made Yu Danqiang nervous.
“The gap between the two sides; the lost paradise in the void.” The girl replied blankly and then assessed Yu Danqiang. She suddenly frowned and asked, “How did you get in old loser?”
I’m sorry that I’m an old loser…
