There was no better way!
“Don’t panic! Let Karen go borrow some money first. We have to pay the medical charges. Right now, I
gotta go to the hospital in the downtown. We must save him!” n calmed Amy down. Amy went back

to tell Carol about it although it wouldn’t be helpful.
n rushed back to office and asked for leave. Then he directly hurried to the hospital. He predicted
something bad would happen in the morning, and this was the case.
It rained heavily. n thought about York all the way. York could possibly die on the way to the hospital
if he was hurt badly for it was really far away.
n felt really nervous. Daniel had treated him coldly since n lived with them, but after all, they
were rtives. n hurried nonstop over the mountains. He became exhausted and soaked.
Climbing over the mountain, he arrived in the downtown. It made him even more anxious for it had
been a while he caught no car to the county. Suddenly, a car passed by. n ran over immediately as if
he saw the hope.
“Bro, where are you heading to? I need to go to the downtown now. Could you please give me a ride?”
n asked anxiously,pletely drenched in the rain.
The farmer looked at n with a frown, and said, “Well, get in the car.”
n was overjoyed. In rural areas, there were little cars even though the roads were built already. It
was easier to get a free ridepared with the city for people from city wouldn’t trust a stranger.
n got in and sat on the backseat. The car bumped its way over the mountain roads.
The car stopped after over two hours.
“Bro, I can’t drive you any further. You go along this road to the downtown.”
“Appreciate that, bro.” n made a bow. The car turned right and left.
Night was about to fall.
n walked and ran along the road. He was already hungry for he didn’t have lunch. He finally got to
the hospital by nightfall.
“Madam, could you please tell me where York is? He was gashed badly and sent over here yesterday
afternoon.” n asked hastily.
“Wait, I will check.” The nurse was pretty, but he didn’t care.
When he saw a nurse from the mortuary, n shouted instantly, “What the hell? Is he in the mortuary?”
His shouting arose the attention of the crowd.
“What the hell are you shouting for? I didn’t finish yet.” The nurse nced at him impatiently, “York is
not in the mortuary. Here is the Inpatient Area and he is in the ICU ward.”
n regained hope as he said, “Thank you so much, Madam.”
n turned to Intensive Care Unit and found York. York almost died, and now he was in aa due to
excessive loss of blood. What a luck! York would die if he was cut at the artery.
Mary, York’s mother, stared angrily at n when she knew who he was, “Just for several fucking
fishes? My son almost got killed.”
n cheered himself up. He had tofort the victim’s family for it would be better to settle it down in
private, “Mary, it’s all out fault. York is always lucky. He will be fine.”
“Screw you! If York dies, Daniel will go to hell as well.” Mary kept looking at her son through the ss.
York was foolish, but he is Mary’s only hope to live for.
“Mary, Ie here to remedy Daniel’s mistake. I beg for your kind forgiveness?” n said pleadingly.
“Forgive him? Why the hell didn’t he let go off my son first?” Mary sobbed.
n was silent for Daniel did make a mistake.
At that time, a doctor came over, handed a bill and said coldly, “Pay this bill, or we will have to move
York out of this ward.”
Mary and n were shocked as they knew it was ten thousand dors.
“My god! I can’t afford!”
“Doctor, is this all the charges?” n asked calmly.
“What the hell are you thinking? This is only the charges this afternoon.” The doctor went away as he
spoke indifferently.
n knew the medical charges would be much more than that.
n understood Daniel had to pay the bill, which still cost more in the following days. No one could tell
when York would wake up and how much they would pay.
Karen made a living through farming all the time. How the hell could she have that amount of money?
No way. Damn! n now believed that money talked. Without money, they would not afford to the
hospital bill, food and housing. Daniel made this mistake all because of theck of money.
Money was the root of all evil.
Karen passed out when she heard of the medical charges.
n bought some noodles, got back to the hospital, and gave it to Mary. Mary didn’t eat it at first. n
spent efforts to persuaded her to eat.
“Mary, why don’t you have a rest? I will take good care of York tonight. He will be fine. I promise.
Tomorrow will be your turn.” n talked to her sincerely.
Mary looked at the soaked n. Mary saw everything he had done after arriving at the hospital. She
wasforted. She understood n was not the one to me. So, she nodded and found somewhere
for a rest.
It was nearly midnight. n needed to go to the police office tomorrow morning. What he hoped for
now was that York could awake from thea. The nurse on duty walked around to kill times. She saw
n was a cutie and wanted to hooked up with him but shook her head and left for his poor dress.
n kept looking after York overnight.
He went to police and waited outside in early morning. Detained in a cell, Daniel looked haggard and
tired.
“I disappointed all of you. I am a bastard. What the hell did I do!” Daniel cried and pped himself on
his face, “Sentence me to death if it is helpful. But how the hell can my family afford such a huge
amount of charges.”
“Once York wakes up, let Maryfort him. Perhaps, he will forgive you. And for the medical charges,
I will handle it.”
“You? How the hell can you raise that amount of money?” Daniel felt confused. For now, Daniel only
concerned for his wife and daughters.
“I will figure it out. I won’t let your family suffer hardships.” n held Daniel’s hand. n actually didn’t
know what to do. He said it only forforting Daniel.
“Money? How the hell am I supposed to get it?” n kept thinking about it.
