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 and


    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.”


    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.”
