Chapter 60 Borrowed Money


    Elizabeth followed Josh to sign the agreement. Not long after, the money was credited to her


    ount.


    Before she left, she scanned around and noticed that it was quite a legitimatepany. It


    had a sp ac ious office space, and the sign at the entrance was eye catching.


    The name of the financial institution was Simple Loan Company, which sounded


    down-to-earth.


    After apanying Elizabeth to the parking lot, Josh said, “Drive carefully, Lizzy. I have to


    go to work now.”


    She nodded, having heard Josh’s mother saying that he had found a decent job. Looks like


    it’s true.


    “Thank


    you, Josh. I’ll treat you to a meal soon.”


    After finishing her words, she started the car engine and bade farewell to him.


    When she arrived at the hospital, she went straight to the ward and saw a nurse give Pearl an


    injection. The girl cried in despair, which was a distressing scene to witness.


    Elizabeth hurriedly walked toward Pearl and coaxed her with Jessica.


    Due to chemotherapy, Pearl’s hair was gone, and she had be bald. However, she still


    had a pretty face. Perhaps she had gotten too thin, her eyes were exceptionallyrge and bright


    in contrast.

    Jessica’s eyes were teary. As Pearl’s mother, it tore her apart to see her daughter in so much


    Fortunately, Pearl fell asleep right after the injection, no longer making a fuss.


    Seeing this, Jessica heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she turned to Elizabeth and threw herself


    into thetter’s arms.


    “How I wish I was the one suffering in pain, Lizzy.” She cried silently as she spoke.


    She had cried umpteen times over Pearl’s illness.


    “Dear G o d, I’m begging you! Please save my child. I’m willing to use twenty years of


    in exchange for her recovery, pleasel” Jessica pleaded softly.

    Elizabeth’s breath hitched in her throat when she heard that. She patted Jessica’s back lightly,


    calming the woman down.


    Jessica cried for some time before regaining herposure. She then retracted herself from


    Elizabeth’s arms.


    Rubbing her reddened eyes, she asked, “Lizzy, haven’t you found a job yet?”


    She thought that Elizabeth had not found herself a job because thetter was here this early.


    Still, she did not want Elizabeth to work at Night City anymore.


    Elizabeth took out the card from her purse carefully and said, “Jess, here’s five hundred


    grand. I borrowed the money with help from my neighbor’s son. The processing fee is ten percent


    of the amount. It’s not too high. Use this money to pay Pearl’s medical fees first. You can return


    it to me after you sell your house.”


    Looking at the card, Jessica sniffled, having the urge to weep once again.


    “Thank you so much, Lizzy!”


    At present, all of Jessica’s rtives were avoiding her, fearing that she would ask to borrow


    money from them. Thankfully, she still had Elizabeth.


    Thetter beamed. “Why are you being so polite? Just take it, Jess. I’ll be here apanying


    Pearl. Hurry up


    and


    pay now.”


    Jessica epted the card and left to make payment.


    Meanwhile, Elizabeth tucked the nket in for Pearl. Looking at the girl’s peaceful


    expression, Elizabeth believed that Pearl would certainly be a beauty once she grew up.

    She had already informed Jessica that she hoped Pearl would be her daughter-inw in


    the future. She believed that either Antony or Arthun would take good care of the girl.


    After Jessica paid the fees, she returned to the ward immediately.


    Her mood finally turned better. Besides, she was holding an IOU in her hand.


    “You must take this, Lizzy. We have to be clear on financial matters.”


    Initially, Elizabeth wanted to reject it. However, she gave in as she wished to give Jessica


    peace of mind.


    After chatting for a while, Elizabeth stood up and left.


    She got into her car, finally willing to drive after Matthew assured her that he would give her


    an allowance for car fuel. He has so much money anyway. I’m more than willing to help him


    spend some of it!


    At that moment, her phone rang. As she had been looking for a job, she felt that it could be


    from a prospective employer. Hence, she quickly picked it up and answered, “Hello?”


    “Hi, is this Elizabeth Wade? We’re calling from Cute Pets. Do you have time for a walk-in
