After the surgery was over, mother Xia entered the VIP Intensive Care Unit.
Xia Xiaodie asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is my mother’s condition?”
“Miss Xia, your mother’s condition has always been bad. This time, there is a tendency to accelerate the deterioration. She needs to undergo a second surgery in the near future. However, the cost of this second surgery is very expensive. I wonder if you can afford it?”
This doctor had always been mother Xia’s attending physician, so he was very familiar with Xia Xiaodie’s situation. This 19-year-old girl had been working hard to earn money since a very early age. The school fees, medical fees, living expenses… the daily expenses were very big, she had even bought an apartment herself, which made people look at her in a new light.
However, no one’s money came from the strong winds, especially the children of ordinary families. It was really difficult for them to suddenly have a huge amount of medical expenses.
The doctor looked at Xia Xiaodie a little unbearably.
“Doctor, how much money do you need?”Xia Xiaodie asked.
“The surgery fees, including the rest of the treatment fees and the high maintenance fees, at least three million…”
Three million?
Xia Xiaodie’s hands and feet went cold. She did not have that much money.
“Miss Xia, actually, you are already very clear about your mother’s situation. The further you go, the more money you will need. Many families… will waver and give up on treatment and go straight home…”
Xia Xiaodie looked at the Doctor. “No, I’ll treat her. I’ll think of a way to get this money. When do you need it?”
“The faster the second surgery, the better. I need it tomorrow.”
Tomorrow?
Time was too tight. Three million was not a small sum. Xia Xiaodie looked at her mother who was still unconscious on the hospital bed. “Doctor, I’ll have to trouble you to start preparing for the second surgery. I’ll definitely take out this money.”
..
The doctor went out. Xia Xiaodie held her mother’s hand and covered her mother with the blanket.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xia Xiaodie looked back. Gu Yilin had one hand in his pocket and was looking at her.
Xia Xiaodie stood up and walked out.
The two of them stood in the corridor. Xia Xiaodie raised her dark almond eyes and looked at him. “You go back and rest first. I’ll stay here to accompany my mother. I’ve already done the database. I Won’t delay the work.”
It was already early in the morning. Gu Yilin had been accompanying her the entire night.
Gu Yilin looked at her pretty little face. “What do you need my help with? I’m talking about the three million.”
The three million..
Three Million was just a drop in the ocean to Gu Yilin, but to Xia Xiaodie, it was a huge sum. Xia Xiaodie knew that as long as she asked for it now, he would definitely give it to her.
This man had always been generous with his money.
However, she could not take his money. All girls should have a bottom line in their hearts and be reserved. A man treating a woman well and a man giving money to a woman were all scheming, and she could not pay them back.
Xia xiaodie shook her head, “There’s no need. I’ll think of a way to settle the money issue.”
Her rejection was within Gu Yilin’s expectations. She was a talented and proud girl with her own perseverance and pride. Gu Yilin did not force her. He curled his thin lips, “Then I’ll go back first. If you need help, you can give me a call.”
“Okay.”
Gu Yilin turned around and left.
Xia Xiaodie stood where she was and watched his tall figure disappear from her sight. She wanted to turn around and return to the ward when another person rushed over. “Xiaodie.”
It was Yang Kai.
Yang Kai had rushed over in the early hours of the morning after learning that mother Xia had been admitted to the hospital.
“Xiaodie, how is Auntie? Such a big incident happened. Why didn’t you call us? My mother is cooking porridge at home. She will come back later. I came over to help you first. Xiaodie, this is for you.”
Yang Kai handed a black card to Xia Xiaodie.
