After regaining some strength, I went home.
I quickly took some medicine, cleaned the
blood from my body, and then went to the
hospital to visit Lily.
But the little girl wasn’t easily fooled. As soon.
as I entered the ward, she saw my pale face
and insisted on stopping treatment to take
care of me.
I calmed her down, forcing a smile. “Your big
sister is an iron warrior; I won’t fall easily. The
most important thing for you now is to get
better, don’t worry your sister.”
After putting Lily to sleep, I left the ward.
r
Her doctor, Dr. Wang, was waiting outside.
Seeing me, he looked sympathetic. “Ms. Grey,
your body is severely overloaded. You really
shouldn’t drink anymore, otherwise, you may
not be able to last until the end of this
month…”
Today was Valentine’s Day, February 14th,
and there were fifteen days left until the end
of the month.
I had to hurry up and save money for Lily’s
surgery…
I smiled bitterly, taking out the $25,000 from
my pocket and handing it to Dr. Wang.
“Doctor Wang, I entrust my sister’s illness to
you. I will raise the rest of the surgery fee as
soon as possible.”
く
Dr. Wang looked at the money in his hand,
stopping me as I was about to leave.
“Ms. Grey, this money is enough for your
chemotherapy. You can start with…”
“No need.”
I interrupted him, smiling and shaking my
head. “It’s pointless. My only wish now is for
Lily to recover completely.”
Leaving the hospital, I bought two large cups
of black coffee from a convenience store and
drank them down.
I got on my electric scooter to start taking
deliveries.
I was lucky tonight; as soon as I logged in, I
<
got a big order with a delivery fee of a
thousand dollars.
After picking up the goods, I followed the
navigation to the rich area.
The security guard, after receiving a call from
the homeowner, let me in.
Luxury cars lined both sides of the road; my
little scooter was out of place.
Finding the address, I knocked on the door
with a professional smile.
When the door opened, I froze.
Ethan leaned against the doorframe, whistling
at me. “Isn’t this Johnny’s cheap little
plaything? You actually tracked her down
here. Since you’re here, come in for a drink.”
Before I could react, he pulled me into the
villa, and the black swan cake in my hand fell
to the ground.
The lively living room instantly fell silent.
Johnny frowned at me, displeasure evident on
his face.
The fiery woman sitting on his lap’s face
instantly fell.
“Johnny, this is the poor girl you faked your
death to escape. Is she here to cause
trouble? She cheated you out of over twenty
thousand dollars at the club tonight, and now
she’s broken the cake you gave me. It’s very
expensive!”
<
Seeing this, Ethan smiled and handed me at
bottle of wine.
“Simple. Drink this bottle, and I’ll pay for the
$3,800 cake.”
Wanda, who had been sent to deliver wine,
rushed in and saw the scene.
Her face changed, and she quickly snatched
the bottle from my hand, anxiously explaining
to Johnny.
“Mr. Sullivan, Neena has late–stage stomach
cancer and is missing a kidney. She really
can’t drink anymore! It could kill her!”
Ethan sneered, “That’s rough. Is it true?
You’re not resenting Johnny and trying to
swindle him, are you?”
<
Seeing Johnny’s gaze fixed on me, Ethan
suddenly widened his eyes. “Whoa, no way,
Johnny. You don’t actually believe that, you
really fell for…”
“Nonsense! Who loves her!”
Johnny seemed to have his tail stepped on,
refuting loudly, “Neena, look in the mirror.
You’re a liar, you don’t even deserve a finger
of mine!”
He got up, picked up the vacuum cleaner, and
stirred the cake on the floor. Then he pointed
to the mess.
“Lick it clean, and it’s settled. How about I
give you a million dollars?”
I looked quietly at him, arrogant and full of
<
pride, a deep sadness in my heart.
In the past, he would always prioritize me.
But now, he kept tormenting me.
Johnny saw the sadness in my eyes and his
gaze dimmed for a moment.
Just when I thought he would change his
mind and let me go, he leaned against the
shoe cabinet, lit a cigarette.
“Ethan, record her humiliation.”
“Got it!”
Ethan happily went to get the equipment.
I knew I couldn’t escape.
く
I didn’t have the money to pay for the
expensive cake, so I curled my lips, closed my
eyes, knelt down, and licked the cake off the
floor, bite by bite.
The amusement in Johnny’s eyes gradually
turned to anger.
When I stood up and reached out to him, he
signed a check and slapped it in my face.
“Here’s your million. Get out of my sight
forever!”
