Chapter 50 A chance to live
No. 3?
Sherry frowned and immediately after hanging up, she opened her calendar and looked at the date on the lunar calendar, her lips slowly pursed into a line.
It took a long time to find its way back into my thoughts.
It turns out it’s Monica’s birthday coming up.
Aaron had spent this day out every year for the past few years and she knew that he must be away with Monica.
In the past, she would also say a silent prayer for Monica at Swift Family that she would get better soon, as Aaron would always send someone to keep an eye on her and not let her go out.
Sherry looked towards the kitchen and slowly moved her feet and walked over.
“I need something, you get it for me.” She pulled up a Post-It note and wrote down some ingredients, “Make it quick, I need it tomorrow.”
“Okay, Sherry.”
The maid picked it up and nodded in response.
Sherry knew her note would be the first to be reported to Aaron, and she wasn’t afraid, it was just the simplest of ingredients.
She returned to her room again, the door closed, and immersed herself in her own peaceful world, as if cut off from everyone outside.
Her hand touched the edge of the window and her voice was clear, “Monica, it must be so boring for you to be stuck in that place.”
With that, she laughed bitterly.
“I am not now, in any way, locked in a cage by your brother and unable to get out.”
This is what she owes the Swift Family, she just doesn’t know when it will be paid back.
Late at night.
Sherry had been asleep when she was awakened by a sharp ringing of her mobile phone, the exclusive ringtone she had set for her mother’s phone.
She hadn’t heard that bell for a long time since the family had had an accident and fallen into ruin.
Startled, he picked it up immediately.
“Hello?”
Yet the person who called this number was not her mother.
Instead, they are hospital nurses.
“You’re Kate’s family, right? The patient’s hospital and surgery fees are still in arrears, you better come and pay up within a week or we’ll have to force a transfer.”
“I’ll be right over.”
Sherry, sleep deprived, rushed straight to the hospital.
It turned out that her mother had been hospitalized here for half a month.
Yet no one had informed her, and if her mother hadn’t been in a coma and in arrears with her medical bills, the hospital wouldn’t have found out her contact details through the police.
“Family, I hope you will make up the hospital and operation fees as soon as possible, otherwise, there is no way to perform a second operation, the patient’s cancer has not spread yet, now is the best time to treat it, if you delay any longer, something will go wrong.”
The nurse took the chart, “Sign the information sheet.”
Sherry took hold of the pen, her fingers trembling slightly, and slowly signed her name.
“Mom.”
Sherry’s eyes were tinged with tears as she looked at the man in the hospital bed with the ventilator.
Growing up, her mother was the only one who was 100% on her side, the one who supported her out of that small town.
When something happened to the family, her mother turned white overnight and even fell to her knees in front of the Swift Family, begging for mercy.
For nothing more than to save her brother’s life.
A family like theirs would be asking for death to hurt a young lady of Monica’s stature.
It was also the day that her mother first begged her.
“Sherry, the Swift Family says they are willing to let your brother off the hook if you go over and work as a maid, Mom knows you are aggravated, but can you … say yes to them? Mum will go with you, and whatever hard work there is, Mom will do it.”
Sherry finally agrees to Aaron’s three-year contract, also for her mother’s peace of mind.
But she didn’t ask her mother to come with her to Swift Family.
How coldly Aaron looked at her then is something she still can’t forget.
Knowing it was hell, she would have gone alone.
So Sherry cut off all contact with the family and no matter how many messages they sent her, she never replied.
I didn’t expect to see you again a few years later, but this was the scene.
Tears flowed quietly down her eyes.
“Mom, I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”
She shuddered and hung her head, whimpering.
Sherry sat at the bedside all night and Kate did not wake up. According to the nurse, a patient at this stage would remain unconscious and rarely wake up.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Before leaving the hospital, she paid all her money for the fees.
Instead, his mind was filled with the words of the doctor, “The best treatment for the patient now is surgery, the patient is already too weak to withstand tossing and turning.”
In other words, there is no second way out but to raise money.
Just then, the phone rang and it was an unknown number.
“Sherry, I’d like to meet with you, you have time, I think?” The voice was extraordinarily magnetic, deep and gentlemanly.
“You are?” A few moments of alarm grew in Sherry’s mind.
She certainly didn’t know any successful people who spoke in such a hushed tone.
“My last name is Yu, and we, uh, met at Swift Family.”
LOL.
Sherry nearly lost her grip on the phone.
She knew who this man was, of course, because he had popped into the Swift Family as a guest and she had been punished severely by Aaron for opening the door for him.
Alex, the successor of the Henry Group, is in charge of the entire business empire, and even if you compare the Night Group to the Henry Family’s properties, it doesn’t even come close.
And most importantly, Alex is Aaron’s half-brother.
Because he was an illegitimate child, Aaron’s relationship with the Henry Family was not as harmonious as it seemed, something that Sherry only learned after she entered the Swift Family.
The look in Aaron’s eyes that day is still fresh in her mind.
He grabbed her by the neck with such force that he was about to crush her, “If you dare to get involved with the Henry Family people, you’re looking for death …”
“Sorry, you’ve got the wrong number.”
Sherry finished and simply hung up.
Which knew that Alex immediately sent a message over, “Sherry, you should be in desperate need of an operation right now, work with me and I can pay you double and you can not only save your mother, but also get out of here and live a normal life.”
Every word in this message hit Sherry’s heart.
She needed the money so much.
As we walked out of the hospital gates, Alex’s car was actually waiting there.
It was in that moment that Sherry realized how small and how foolish she was, and that the Henry Group was in control of the Night Group in certain areas.
Including this hospital, which has Night Group investment, Alex, as the heir apparent, knows everything that happens here.
Could it be, then, that Aaron knew about her mother’s hospitalization here too?
As soon as the thought came to her, uneasiness grew like a vine in her heart.
Sherry gritted her teeth darkly and took a few steps over.
The car window rolled down and there was the svelte, handsome, yet somewhat stoic face, who opened his mouth and spoke with an innate aristocratic tone.
That was the Henry Group that gave him the bottom line.
“Sherry, please get in.”
At the same time, Aaron was sitting in his office with Eral’s debriefing in front of him.
“Sherry has left from the hospital.”
