"Where are you?"
"At school."
"Did I call you back?"
"You..." Little Sophie was already in a terrible mood, and Asher Land’s accusatory tone made her even more inexplicably annoyed.
"I have things to do, I don’t want to talk, I’m not going back to the apartnt today, and not for the next few days either."
"Do I need to remind you of your current identity?"
Bastard!
Little Sophie cursed this treacherous man over and over again in her heart.
Suddenly the phone went silent, Asher Land picked up the phone to check the screen, confirming she hadn’t hung up.
"Sis!" Little Jas didn’t know when he ran out of the room, his tearful voice was very piercing.
"Little Jas." Little Sophie ran over and hugged Little Jas’ frail body, "Why aren’t you resting in the room?"
"Sis, my hand hurts, it hurts so much, I’m so scared..."
"Little Jas, don’t be afraid, Sis will ask the doctor to operate on you soon, and everything will be fine after the surgery."
Little Sophie glanced at her phone, didn’t think for long, and hung up.
Asher Land frowned, was she at the hospital now?
Little Sophie placed 2,900 yuan on the desk.
"I know there’s still over 2,000 yuan short, don’t worry, I’ll definitely give it to you, please let my brother have the surgery first."
"Without full paynt, the surgery can’t be done." The middle-aged man didn’t even lift his eyelids.
"You really can’t do this!" Little Sophie’s voice was hoarse beyond recognition, "I’ve given you everything I have, I promise I won’t renege on the outstanding 2,000 plus yuan!"
At this mont, she felt really helpless and despairing.
She tossed her phone, ID card, and student ID onto the table.
The female nurse nearby couldn’t stand it anymore, she gave Little Sophie a look, as if telling her to calm down.
"Director Lewis, you should operate on the child first, I’ll cover the over 2,000 yuan for now." The kind nurse said, and she really took out a credit card from her bag, "The child is quite pitiful, please help this lady."
The middle-aged man referred to as Director Lewis glanced at the credit card on the table, impatiently said, "Got it, got it, really annoying, go arrange the surgery."
"Okay." The nurse promptly agreed.
Little Sophie gratefully nodded to the nurse, "Thank you so much, I’ll for sure repay you within the next few days."
After more than two hours, the surgery was finally over, Little Jas was pushed out of the operating room, and only then did Little Sophie breathe a sigh of relief.
It was around ten at night when Christopher Smith and Charlotte Harrison arrived.
"Why are you here?" As soon as she saw Little Sophie, Charlotte Harrison’s tone imdiately turned sharp and acerbic.
"I, I’m just here to look after Little Jas."
"Get out! I get irritated just seeing you!" Charlotte Harrison didn’t hide her dislike for Little Sophie at all, "Christopher, are you really comfortable leaving Little Jas in the care of such a person?"
"Don’t say that, if it weren’t for Little Sophie’s help,..."
"Enough!" Charlotte Harrison interrupted Christopher abruptly, "Why are you speaking for an outsider?"
"Little Sophie isn’t an outsider, she’s my daughter."
Little Sophie shook her head helplessly, a bitter smile curling at her lips.
"Dad, I’ll go first, there’s still over 2,000 yuan of Little Jas’ surgery fee unpaid, I’ll transfer it in the next couple of days, rember to deposit it to this card account."
Little Sophie handed Christopher a slip with the kind nurse’s bank account number on it.
Christopher wanted to say sothing, but Little Sophie turned around and left without hesitation.
This ho can’t accommodate her now, it hasn’t been able to for four years!
