Chapter 5 A Compromise
Chapter 5 A Compromise
Seeing the worried look on Cheryl's face, Wendy immediately put on a smile and said, "Mom, what are you worried about? By that time, even if the house is really demolished, we still have the fee from it, don't we? And... I have found a good job recently and I can save some money now. By that time, I can solve everything, right? "
Wendy smiled confidently and brightly. Seeing her daughter being so filial and sensible, Cheryl felt relieved and couldn't help but also smiled.
Hearing her daughter's words, Cheryl's sad heart was somewhat relieved. She tucked her daughter's long black hair and said, "But you have to get married in the end. I don't know what kind of young man deserves my daughter."
Her mother's words and her gentle eyes made Wendy shiver.
She hoped that her mother didn't know what happened last night. Otherwise, a gentle and kind woman like her mother would think that she was a burden to her!
Wendy's heart was filled with bitterness.
Fortunately, everything was over, she could pretend that nothing had happened and let this bad past go with the wind.
Wendy comforted herself in this way, and the intense mood in her heart finally eased down.
"Alas!"
Her mother's deep sigh came to her ears. Wendy was a filial girl, when she heard Cheryl's sigh, she felt very sorry for her mom. She looked into her mother's eyes and asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing?"
Cheryl said sadly, "If everyone moves, we have to move too. I don't know where we can live! I'm afraid it's impossible to find another house as cheap as this one. "
Wendy hugged her mother tightly and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll take care of everything. You... Don't worry about anything. "
"The family of ward No. 2, come out and pay the medical fees."
A pretty nurse came in and shouted loudly in the ward. Wendy took a quick look at the bed number, which was No. 2, so she said to her mother, "Mom, I'll be back soon."
When she arrived at the cashier's office, the doctor passed a small rectangular note to Wendy from the small window. When Wendy saw it, she gasped. 'Oh my God!' She had just paid twenty thousand yesterday, but it was used up today, and now she needed to pay another ten thousand. If it went on like this, the fifty thousand that she borrowed from Leah would not last long.
"Doctor, I want to ask a question, why should I pay the medical fees so frequently?" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
This... It was too exaggerated! Wendy couldn't accept it at all, she frowned and even doubted whether it was a black hospital?
The cashier in the white coat patiently explained to Wendy, "Miss, the medicine you are using now is imported, so it is more expensive. The price of these medicine is strictly stipulated in our country, and I can't do anything about it. Sorry!"
'Imported medicine'? "Then I don't need any imported medicine, okay?"
The cashier smiled and said, "I think you have to ask the doctor about this. But I think if your mom has a heart disease, we still suggest to use this imported medicine, because the imported medicine is indeed better than our domestic production, and the side effects are also small."
Wendy didn't ask any more, and her heart was covered with a thick black haze.
These difficulties were like a small mountain, pressing on Wendy's delicate shoulder, making her out of breath.
"Ring..." Her phone rang in her pocket. Who would call her at this time?
Wendy took out her phone and frowned, it was Leah!
Why did this woman come to her again?
She was in a bad mood and didn't want to answer such a person's phone to disturb her mood!
Wendy hesitated whether to answer her phone or not. At last, she walked quickly to a remote corner and pressed the answer button.
"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Before Wendy could say a word, Leah's voice came from the other end of the phone, the sharp voice pierced through her eardrum!
Wendy's anger also rose because of Leah's impoliteness, she said to the phone impatiently, "I'm not your servant. It's none of your business!"
It was just a cooperation between her and Leah. Did she have to be so arrogant?
Leah's tone was so annoying and disgusting, so Wendy didn't like it at all.
More importantly, she hated her to the extreme!
"Do you still want money?" Leah's emotionless voice continued, "I think you are still short of money. Do you think it's appropriate for you to talk to me like this?"
Leah's words were aggressive, but Wendy didn't know how to answer. Her words were stabbing the softest part of Wendy's heart, and she was bleeding profusely.
"What else do you want me to do?"
"As far as I know, your neighborhood is going to be demolished, right? You have to find a new place to live. Besides, your mother's illness can't be cured in a short time, so she needs to be taken care of, and the fees of the medicine... It's not cheap at all! "
How did Leah know so much?
Hearing no response from Wendy, Leah chuckled, "What do you think? Am I right?" Wendy moved to a more secluded place and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do? Please go straight to the point. "
She had lost her interest in her riddles, she was speechless.
"I can help you. I can give you five million at a time." Speaking of this, Leah paused deliberately, she wanted to test the attitude of Wendy, and soon she heard Wendy's voice, "Do you want me to do something again for you?"
Leah smiled, but her voice was cold and indifferent. "Of course. You know, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. My condition is that you will be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family, and get pregnant within a year then give birth to a child."
Wendy remained silent. Five million!
If it was in the past, she wouldn't care even if fifty million dollars were in front of her, but now...
She needed the money. Five thousand was a big project for her in a special period.
Last time, she cheated Leo to sleep with her. This time, she was going to give birth to the baby for that man.
But did she have a choice?
"Okay, I agree!" Wendy blurted out.
'My God? What did I just say?'
Did she sell herself again?
In the high-rise pedestrian street, people were coming and going, looking for clothes suitable for themselves. When Chelsea was idly shopping with her boyfriend Wilson, she suddenly heard her mobile phone ringing.
"Hey, Wendy. Where have you been? How could you just remember to call me? " As soon as she picked up the phone, Chelsea shouted happily. Wilson looked at his girlfriend, speechless. He had told her countless times that he hoped her to be a lady, especially in such a public place!
Although he liked such a straightforward girl, but... There were many people watching them!
Alas!
Chelsea stuck out her tongue at her boyfriend and made a face at him, looking very innocent. Wilson shook his head helplessly, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad to have such a girlfriend.
"What did you say? Now? " Seeing his girlfriend's expression changed, Wilson also became nervous, he knew that the woman his girlfriend referred to was her best friend, Wendy.
After a while, Chelsea said, "Okay, no problem. I'll be there right now." Then, the other side said something. Glancing at her boyfriend, Chelsea said, "Okay, I know..."
As soon as Chelsea hung up the phone, Wilson came up to her and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?" Chelsea said to Wilson, "I don't know what happened, but Wendy asked me to look for her."
"Then I'll go with you." Wilson pulled his girlfriend up and was about to leave, but she stopped him. With a smile on her face, she said, "My bestie is not your bestie. I can go there alone. You can wait for me at home. Bye!"
Sitting in the taxi, Chelsea was confused. Why did Wendy tell her not to take Wilson with her? Was there anything that she just wanted to tell her?
All kinds of doubts filled her heart! She was confused!
Chelsea felt a little headache, she was not a person who would make a fuss. Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't think about it anymore. Instead, she focused on enjoying the spring scenery on the roadside.
In a cafeteria downstairs of the hospital, Wendy and Chelsea were having meal face to face. Chelsea was impetuous and eager to know what had happened.
Wendy wanted to laugh at her. They hadn't seen each other for a period of time, but her temper was still so impetuous. However, Wendy found that she couldn't laugh at all.
"I might be going to give birth to a baby for a man!" All of a sudden, a myriad of thoughts crowded into Wendy's mind, she didn't know where to start, and she finally said that.
"What?" The woman's shrill scream almost pierced through Wendy's eardrum, she was a little regretful that she had told this to Chelsea so hastily.
Wendy's words were like a thunderclap from the ground, which almost made Chelsea fall down from the chair. She quickly calmed down and asked, "Why did you say that?"
Wendy had always regarded Chelsea as her best friend, so she never intended to hide it from her.
After hearing this, Chelsea opened her mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time. What Wendy had told her was simply out of the blue. Was she shooting a TV series?
"Chelsea, are you okay?"
Chelsea's stupefied look scared Wendy, maybe there was something was wrong with her after hearing what she had said!
Suddenly, as if Chelsea had come back to her senses, she excitedly held Wendy's hand and said, "Wendy, is the man you are talking about really young master of the Jiang Family, Leo? He must be the prince charming of all women! It was so amazing And you said you had already slept with each other? "
Chelsea's big watery eyes were full of excitement!
