At last, with everything settled, Xu Qinghuan returned to her room and began packing her luggage.

It's good that this business trip went smoothly. She said it wasn't just about Mr. Chen getting angry.

Xu Qinghuan tried her best to suppress her thoughts, not to think about Fu Yanshi's face anymore, but her mind just wouldn't obey. It kept replaying his image until the phone on the table rang insistently.

She hurried over, and the moment she saw the hospital's number, her heart sank.

Even my hand that pressed the receiver trembled uncontrollably.

"Is this Miss Xu Your mother just had a heart attack and her condition is very dangerous. She's been rushed to the emergency room, please come quickly!"

"...."

Xu Qinghuan's eyes went blank and she almost lost her balance.

But time didn't allow her to delay any longer. After only a few seconds, she immediately went to change her flight ticket. She didn't even think to ask Fu Jiajia to explain the situation to Chen Jing until after she boarded the plane.

When Xu Qinghuan returned to Beizhen City, the sky was almost dark.

She hailed a taxi to the hospital, and her mother was just being pushed from the emergency room to the intensive care unit.

Looking at her mother's pale face on the bed, Xu Qinghuan tried hard to hold back her tears, but she failed in the end. Tears slipped from her eyes and landed on the white hospital sheet.

"Don't cry...."

Zheng Qiu-zhi weakly opened her eyes and tried to raise her hand to wipe away her daughter's tears, but she didn't even have the strength to grasp her daughter's hand.

Xu Qinghuan quickly wiped her face and forced a smile. "Mom, I didn't cry, my eyes just got sandy! The doctor told you to rest well and not think about anything!"

Zheng QiuZhi nodded, and after a while, her attending physician came over and called Xu Qinghuan out.

"Doctor Wang, how could my mother suddenly have a heart attack You said before that her condition was stable."

"We did our best, her illness has been dragging on." Doctor Wang sighed, "What are you planning to do If we don't have the surgery soon, things like today will happen frequently. You need to be mentally prepared."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghuan immediately asked, "How much does the surgery cost now"

"First, prepare one million. Get the surgery done first, and we can worry about the aftercare later."

A million from a doctor's mouth is easy to say, but for Xu Qinghuan, it might take years to earn! By then, it will really be too late.

"Think it over."

After finishing his words, the doctor left.

Xu Qinghuan stood alone in the empty hospital corridor, filled with the smell of disinfectant. She stood there for a very long time.

When Fu Jiajia's phone call came, she was still standing in the same place.

How is your aunt

"The doctor said if I don't have surgery... I should be mentally prepared." Xu Qinghuan clenched her fists, forcing herself to speak, "Jia Jia, do you... have extra money you can lend me"

For so many years, even when times were tough, she had never borrowed money from anyone. But this time, she was truly out of options! She had spent almost every penny she earned on extending her mother's life.

"I have it! I have 200,000 yuan, I'll transfer it to you right now!" Fu Jiajia also readily agreed without hesitation, "Just send me your account number!"

"The doctor said the surgery would cost one million."

"...."

"Jiajia, am I really going to lose Mom this time..." Xu Qinghuan leaned against the wall, slowly sliding down. "I can't raise one million, I really can't!"

Fu Jiajia was also in a panic over there, "Don't give up yet, there must be other ways!"

What other options

Xu Qinghuan suddenly stiffened.im. "Yan Shi, your mother's condition is very critical this time. I just watched her take a breath and pass out!"Fu Huazhen had seen countless large crowds in his lifetime, but every time his wife was...
