Chapter 446
In an instant, the blood drained from Stella's face. She trembled as she held the phone.
"I'll be there immediately. Call for the doctor first," she said in a slightly trembling voice while playingcalm.
Rainee's blood pressure dropped rapidly, and her heart rate slowed. Her pupils also showed signs ofexpansion, which was a really bad sign. After the doctor gave her a checkup, they began giving herinjections.
The veins on Rainee's hands were incredibly obvious. The walls of her blood vessels were practicallysticking together. The nurse failed a few times, trying to stick in the indwelling needle.
Stella felt her heart quiver as she watched Rainee's puncture-mark-filled hand. Shortly after, she waswheeled into the operating room.
The head nurse brought Stella a consent and waiver of liability and asked her to sign it. Stella's handtrembled as she held the pen. After a while, she finally signed her name crookedly. The nurse took thepapers and said, ' Quickly go downstairs and pay the bills. The people downstairs are urging again, sodon't make things hard for us."
"I understand,” Stella said hoarsely.
She added, "I'll leave my mother in your hands.”
After Stella left the waiting room, she quickly called Felicity.novelbin
Felicity had been shooting a night scene with the crew last night, so she only got home at nine in themorning. So when she got a call from Stella, she was still in her bed, sleeping.
Felicity groggily accepted the call and heard Stella's choked-up voice come from the other end of theline, "How much money do you have right now, Felicity? Could you transfer me 300 thousand dollars?"
Felicity was immediately fully awake.
‘Stella wouldn't not have 300 thousand dollars. So why is she suddenly borrowing money from me?And why does her voice sound like that?’ she wondered.
‘What's the matter? Why do you need to borrow money?" she asked. Then, she quickly added, "I'm justasking; I don't mean anything else. I've locked the royalty money I previously received to a fixeddeposit, so I can only give you 100 thousand at most. What exactly is going on?"
"My mom might not make it. My card can’t be used..."
Stella started crying the moment she spoke.
This was the first time Felicity ever saw Stella cry this way, so she panicked and hurriedly consoled her.
‘Don't cry. I'll transfer you the money. You should go pay the bills first while I borrow money from myother friends," Felicity said as she got off the bed. She started putting on her clothes and shoes, "I'll goto the hospital immediately. Be well. Your mother’s still receiving emergency treatment, so don't keepthinking about negative things."
Stella sobbed uncontrollably; her voice was mingled with a fear of being powerless. Hearing this,Felicity felt her heart break.
After she hung up, she immediately transferred all her available funds to Stella. Then, she randownstairs while calling her acquaintances to borrow money.
Since Felicity had only graduated for three years, all of her close friends were doing so-so; none wereparticularly well off. Those who had some money or got rich practically did not mingle with their friends
of Felicity’s social status anymore.
That was why Felicity only managed to borrow 40 to 50 thousand dollars after calling four to fivenumbers.
‘How could this be enough?’ she thought.
Felicity thought deeply. Finally, she bit the bullet and called her mother.
"Hello?"
The woman's voice was cold and elegant on the other end of the line.
Felicity coughed, "Mom, transfer me some money, won't you? It's not much; just twenty thousanddollars."
The person on the other end of the line hung up.
Felicity was speechless.
At the thought of the determined things she said when she ran away from home previously, she feltawkward.
‘This is a matter of life and death. So be it if it's a slap in my face,’ she thought again.
She gritted her teeth and called the number again.
‘Mom, I know you're angry with me, but now isn't the time to be angry. I'm at the hospital right now, andthis is a matter of life and death. Once the surgery ends, you can scold me however you want."
As expected, the person on the other end panicked, "Did something happen to you?"
"It's my friend. It's all thanks to her that your daughter didn't starve to death in Rivera, so don't turn ablind eye to a dying person.”
"Stop wasting time, and send me your card number."
Felicity quickly thanked her and texted her the card number. Moments later, she received a textmessage that said she had received one million dollars.
