Chapter 129
After a moment of contemplation, a sly look flashed in Donna’s eyes, “Shannon, let’s go to another hospital for treatment. We can try Fraley Hospital. The point is, we need to leave here first
They wouldn’t dare demand medical fees from us. It was their choice to treat me.”
She said with increasing conviction. “Don’t think I don’t know. They’re treating me just to compete with Fraley Hospital for business. They’ve made so much money, and I haven’t asked them for anything, so I’ve already done more dun enough”
Shannon Laughed in exasperation.
Once. Donna had been her mother, the one who had given birth to and raised her, someone she respected deeply.
Now, without that binding tic, she saw many truths clearly This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
It turned out Donna was such a shameless persOIL
“Fraley Hospital, you say?” Shannon opened a webpage on her phone and held it up to Donna. “Are you sure you want to go there?”
Donna took the phone and was instantly dumbfounded.
Gradually, her face turned pale, her pupils dilated and she was filled with horror.
Finally, Donna began trembling, with cold sweat forming on her forehead.
Shannon then said, “That’s right. Your kidney was removed and sold to a patient there. That patient, after the transplant, has recovered well and is about in go on an international trip in a few
days
“Shannon, this… Donna instinctively covered her waist, “What, what should I do?”
Donna was an extremely selfish person. Although she was timid and opportunistie, she couldn’t stand the idea of her healthy kidney being taken and sold to someone else.
“Let me put it this way, and 171 say it only once, Shannon said seriously. This hospital has the most advanced medical facilities and medications. If you want to recover, you need to stay here.
“As for the medical fees, we can sue Fraley Hospital and get at least 400 to 600 thousand dollars in compensation. That won’t be a problem.”
“You heartless girl!” Donna started cursing again. “How could you use the money from selling any kidney…
To pay your medical bills and save your life?” Shannon interrupted, taking over the conversation. “If you don’t want treatment, you can be discharged right now
Donna had nothing more to say
After a moment of silence, she mumbled, “You’ve finished the SAT –
“exam, haven’t you? Aren’t you working now?”
Since Shannon had finished the SAT exam, she had free time and could work to earn money.
The salary could be used to pay for medical bills, and the hospital wouldn’t rush them for payment. Even if they did, they could stall.
The 400 to 600 thousand dollars in compensation could be used for other purposes.
Shannon’s eyes were red with anger as she bit her lip, swallowing her rage.
In a few days, she would have an interview at Iverion. If she succeeded, she would be heading to Iverton for college in a linte over a month, but she still had no way to cover her tuition and living expenses
Even if Shannon were Donna’s ATM, Donna didn’t consider that she needed to be able to live in order to continue being exploited.
“It’s a temporary job, a few hundred dollars a month,” she said.
Of course, Chris paid her more than that. As a hacker, hier salary was quite high.
But she couldn’t reveal that, or she’d be bled dry and unable to support herself.
Shannon threatened coldly. “Spend wisely, or next month you’ll be out on the streets”
Donna gritted her teeth laut had no choice.
“What about the Fraley Hospital compensation? Donna was worried. It was their only lifeline. “Do we stand a chance without any power or
influence?
Shannon was calm. There are many people suing them this time. Ell find a way to get a lawyer and secure compensation.”
“You damn girl, then hurry up and do it” Donna was anxious.
Shannon
gave her a once–over, and before leaving, she warned. “Apologize to the doctors and nurses. Don’t push them to kick you out. If you develop chronic problems, they won’t be easy to cure?
Donna was trully scared now and nodded meekly.
Only then did Shannon take a deep breath and leave
A black Mercedes–Benz van drove into the bustling city center, along the most lively riverbank in Vaporicon Cary
“The road ahead looks jammed. We can’t drive in. Let’s park here” Alfred said.
Lea nodded
Alfred found a spot by the riverside and parked the car.
She stepped out and was immediately captivated by the sight before her..
It was the busiest time of night, with lights shining brightly and neon glowing vibrantly
The white sandy beach and the blue sea, with waves crashing rhythmically against the shore, combined with the city’s hustle and people’s joyful chatter, created a unique urban symphony.
The scene was exhilarating, beckoning people to dive right in,
Especially tonight, Lea was already in a good mood, and being in such an environment doubled her happiness.
“Handsome guy, buy your girlfriend a bouquet of flowers!” Lea snapped out of her reverie to see Alfred being approached by a young girl selling flowers
The little girl was carrying a large bucker of red roses, their vibrant petals exuding an intoxicating fragrance. The warm yellow balloons and the lights within the bouquets emitted a bright, dazzling glow
For a young woman in love, it was irresistibly alluring.
I you two just finish the SAT exam and come here for a date? You look amazing, way better than the couples in TV shows and anime, the lite girl said, her eyes sparkling with admiration, almost blindingly bright.
Lea’s face flushed with warmth, but she heard Alfred ask, “How much?
“Uh!” The girl, mesmerized by their looks, had forgotten her purpose.
Alfred turned, glanced at Lea, and picked the most beautiful bouquet. He handed a small stack of bills to the girl, about 100 dollars
The bouquet’s highest price couldn’t have been more than 50 dollars.
Blushing, Lea found the bouquet of roses placed in her arms.
She instinctively hugged in tight, looking up at Alfred, her heart pounding rapidly.
A firework exploded in the distance.
The sea ahead was illuminated by a grand, brilliant display of fireworks, lighting up the man in front of her. His eyes were smiling, gazing at her tenderly, outshining even the fireworks in the night sky.
Lea felt a bit dazed as if the fireworks were blossoming in her heart.
In Alfred’s eyes, it was the same. The fireworks lit up the girl like a celestial being descended to earth, ethereal and enchanting, making everything else fade into insignificance.
He couldn’t help but stare, entranced.
Boom Boom! Boom!
After the fireworks display ended, the night sky returned to its calm state, and the beach buzzed with activity once more.

“Let’s go,” Alfred said, reaching out to hold her hand. With his long strides, he led her along the coastline.
Lea followed him. She lowered her head and sniffed the flowers in her arms. She had a smile on her face and was more delicate than the flowers
They walked quietly for a while.
“Lea” Suddenly, someone called out to her.
Lea turned around and saw a white luxury yacht, where a group of handsome men and beautiful women were having a party.
It was Zed who had called her.
He was dressed in a white shirt and beige trousers, his hair styled fashionably back. He looked more mature compared to before the SAT exam.
In the dazzling night, the handsome young man leaning against the yacht’s railing was particularly eye–catching
Lea frowned, annoyed that her date with Alfred was being interrupted.
Zed stared at Lea and Alfred with intense jealousy and resentment.
Moments ago, while enjoying the breeze on the yacht, his eyes had been instantly drawn to them
Lea was stunning. Even amidst the bikini–clad and beach–dress–wearing beauties around him, she stood our
And Alfred. by her side, was as dazzling as a star in the night sky.
The sight of them, like any other couple on a date, made Zed lose control, and he called out to her.
