Chapter 33


    The phone ringing belonged to Nic, and her face turned pale when she saw the caller ID.


    The caller was her disabled husband, Cillian.


    Nic''s hand trembled as she grabbed the phone. "Cillian, what do you want?"


    "Nic, are you fooling around with another man again? Get back here!" Cillian roared.


    Nic took a deep breath, trying hard to keep her voice calm. "Cillian, can Ie backter? I have something urgent..."


    "Are you trying to cheat on me? Nic, if you don''t get back here right now, I''ll have Mr. Burley kill that old woman."


    Nic''s heart skipped a beat when she heard Ss'' name. She softly replied, "Okay, I''lle back now."


    After hanging up the phone, Nic looked at Willow with deep guilt. "Willow, I''m sorry, I can''t apany you to the hospital. You have to go to the hospital yourself and take care of your wound."


    Nic was afraid she would start crying if she continued talking to Willow, so she quickly ran toward the door.


    Even after Nic left, Willow still couldn''t recover from the shock of that phone call.


    Cillian''s voice was so loud that Willow found it hard not to overhear. She knew that Nic would face another round of beatings and even more unbearable humiliation when she got back.


    She didn''t want her to return to Cillian, that psychologically twisted demon, but she couldn''t bring herself to say it.


    She cared about Nic and couldn''t ignore the fate of her grandmother either. After being adopted by the Burley family, Nic found out that her grandmother, who had always been her rock, had survived the earthquake.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    But now, her grandmother had been sent overseas by Ss. It was supposedly for treatment, but really, it was to control Nic.


    Ss gave Nic to that demon, Cillian, just to let him torture her, and for Sylvia to get her revenge.


    If Nic didn''t endure the torture obediently, it would be her grandmother who suffered.


    Nic resisted once, but Cillian immediately called Ss. Her grandmother''s medication was stopped for three days, leaving her in excruciating pain. Since then, Nic has never dared to resist again.


    Willow felt genuine heartache for Nic, but her own strength wasn''t enough to help Nic. Willow was too weak now to even help herself.


    She carefully tucked away the 150 thousand dors from Nic.


    However, Willow didn''t go to the hospital to have her hand checked. She had already spent all her money Chapter 33


    on her recent hospitalization and Aaron''s medical expenses. She had to be very careful with her finances.


    As someone who was on the brink of death, a few wounds on her hand even if infected would only cause some pain. Now, money was more precious to her than her own life.


    It seemed there was still a glimmer of hope.


    Willow inadvertently heard some news today while working a om part-time job. A research institution that specifically focused on cancer research was recently established.


    Due to their need for research, they were willing to pay a high price for bodies, especially those of cancer patients. It was said that well-preserved bodies could fetch nearly a million dors inpensation for


    the families.


    Willow was ecstatic upon hearing this. She found out the address of the research institution and signed a body donation agreement with them.


    They promised to give her a total of 800 thousand dors, paying her 400


    thousand upfront and the remaining after her passing.
