Chapter 54


    Soon, Patricia and Gus went to their rendezvous and got their contract signed before the money was


    transferred to their ounts. When she was about to leave, she looked back at thepany, which


    seemed like a legit business premise judging from their spacious workce and obvious signboards.


    Frontlender Enterprise? That sounds like a pretty good name. I bet it’s a decent and legit business.


    After walking Patricia to the car park, Gus said, “Drive safe, Patricia. I’ll make a move first because I


    need to get to my office now.”


    Patricia nodded, finally believing what Gus’ mother told her when she said he had found a decent job.


    “Thank you, Gus. I’ll treat you to a meal in the next few days.” After that, she waved her hand at the


    man and started the engine before driving toward the hospital.


    Soon, she arrived at the ward where she saw Poppy receiving an injection. At the sight of the little girl’s


    sympathetic cry, her heart melted with pity, whereupon she walked up to Darcie andforted her


    daughter with her.


    Due to her chemotherapy, Poppy lost all her hair and went bald, but even so, her looks remained


    adorable as her bony face entuated her big beautiful eyes. In the meantime, Darcie was seen with


    tears welling up in her eyes, her heart broken into pieces at the sight of the suffering her daughter was


    going through.


    After the injection, Poppy was put to sleep without acting up at all, which was when Darcie finally


    copsed into Pataricia’s arms in relief. “Oh, you have no idea how much I wish I was in her ce


    instead, Tricia.”


    The heartbroken mother broke into tears when she talked about Poppy, having cried more times than


    she could remember. “Oh, God! Please help Poppy. I’d give anything for her to recover, even if it


    means I have to live twenty years shorter than I should.”


    When she heard Darcie heartbreaking words, Patricia was overwhelmed by her sympathy as she


    gently rubbed the woman’s back tofort her.


    After crying for a while, Darcie eventually felt calmer and backed away from Patricia’s arms, rubbing


    her tearful red eyes. “Haven’t you found a job, Tricia?” Judging from Patricia’s visit at that hour, she


    believed the former still hadn’t found a job for herself yet, but even so, she didn’t wish for her to go


    back to Everbright once again.


    Soon, Patricia took a card from her purse and said, “Darcie, there is five hundred thousand in this card.


    Consider this a favor from my neighbor’s son who helped to borrow the money earlier. Anyway, ten


    percent of the medical cost isn’t really that much either, so please use the money to pay the bill. You


    can pay back once you sell the house.”


    When Darcie saw the card, she felt a lump in her throat, her tears nearly rolling down her eyes once


    again. “Thank you so much, Tricia!” After all, all her friends and rtives shied away from her the


    moment they saw her, afraid that she would ask them for money. Therefore, she was grateful that


    Patricia was kind enough to lend her a helping hand.


    Thetter responded with a smile. “Don’t mention it. I’m just doing whatever I can. Anyway, go pay the


    bill while I stay here and look after Poppy.”


    While Darcie took the card and went on to pay the bill, Patricia tucked Poppy in and watched her restful


    look in a loving manner. She’s so pretty! She is going to be such a pretty girl when she grows up.


    At the thought of that, she was reminded of the moment earlier when she told Darcie that she would


    want Poppy to be her daughter-inw, thinking either of her sons was capable of taking care of her.


    Shortly after paying the bill, Darcie returned in a much better mood. At the same time, she was seen


    with a note in her hand. “Tricia, you have to keep this. It’s our IOU.”This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Although Patricia initially wanted to say no, she eventually went along with Darcie to put her mind at


    ease. She then continued to chat with Darcie for a few more moments before she decided it was time


    for her to make a move.


    When she returned to her car, she thought to herself that she could finally drive with some peace of


    mind, recalling Isaac’s permission for her to make mileage ims. He is rich anyway, so it’d be a sin if I


    don’t take advantage of him.


    At that moment, her phone rang, whereupon she answered it right away, thinking it could be from one


    of thepanies she had applied to. “Hello?”


    “May I speak to Patricia Aniston? This is a call from Cutie Pets, and we’d like to ask if you’re avable


    toe for an interview today.”
