Kiss me tender
Chapter 48 (Part Two)

The doctor nodded and said, "In fact, we don't have to pay a price. It's just that we need an American famous doctor to treat Mr. Shen's illness, but we need to send someone from the American to cure it. There are also high-level medical equipment and some expensive medicines. The medical fees are very high and I'm just worried..."

"How much is the medical expense?" Jenny asked worriedly with her hands shaking.

The doctor looked at them, hesitated and wiped the sweat, "In short, It may need to prepare a million."

"One million?" Jenny murmured and looked at Melissa.

The moment Melissa heard the word "one million", she furrowed her brows. As far as she was concerned, there was no such thing as publicity in work. Unless Colin mentioned it in person, she couldn't get ten thousand bucks at all. How could she get one million? But when she saw Jenny look at her, she immediately stopped frowning and said to the doctor, "One million. No problem. You just cure my father. We will pay the medical fees as soon as possible." In this case, she had to grit her teeth and say that.

When the doctor saw her so generous, he thought that she should not worry about the medical fees. Because he had met this kind of patient before. Except for the rich and powerful people, when he generally said the amount of the medical fees, the patient's family members all backed off. And then, of course, it made the patient die without cure. The doctor didn't expect that these patients who seemed to be from ordinary families would promise it so quickly. So the doctor smiled and said, "That's good. In fact, it's not impossible to cure this disease. There are top doctors who can cure it, but the medical fee is too high, so many people give up. Since you say so, I'm relieved. I'll arrange it."

Melissa nodded and said to the doctor seriously, "Doctor, then I'll leave it to you!"

Hearing her words, Jenny was stunned. She immediately held Melissa's hand and asked, "Melissa, why did you promise that so soon? Where do you get so much money?"

Melissa said with patting her mother's hands, "Mom, don't worry. Just leave it to me. I'll handle it."

But Jenny pulled a long face and asked, "Where do you replace the money?" Do you think I don't know what's going on with you these years? You don't have an appointment to shoot a movie and no one pays to invite you to shoot an advertisement. You're worse than those white-collar workers. Where do you go to replace so much money? "Don't tell me that..." Jenny said in a cold and serious tone, "Do you want to tell Colin?" Don't you remember how your father got ill? "Are you going to piss him off?"

Melissa looked at his mother Jenny in silence.

Seeing her like this, Jenny thought she was speechless. She was more excited, so she shouted regardless of the corridor, "Are you really going to replace him?" You haven't told us your relationship with him yet. Do you really want to see him? You don't have to look for her now. You can piss your father off!

"Mom, it's not what you think. Mom!" Melissa held her hand tightly to calm her down. Then he said, "Don't worry. I won't go to him."

At the moment, Melissa thought of Colin's just for a while. She used to rely on him, but she just thought it was over between them and didn't intend to go to him. Their relationship was so stiff now and the contract was about to expire. How could Colin pay her so much money? She couldn't give up her self-esteem to beg him again. Moreover, her parents were so resistant to their relationship between her and Colin. Of course, she would not go to see him.

Jenny still looked at her coldly and asked, "Melissa, tell me the truth. What's your relationship with him? We can't tolerate you not to cherish your reputation outside, but we can't let you lie to your parents either."

Seeing this, Melissa knew that her mother had generally claimed the relationship between her and Colin was impure, but she didn't want to believe. Therefore, her mother forced herself to tell her and only if he mother believed it, would she give up and stop dreaming.

At that moment, Melissa felt helpless, tears coming out of her eyes. Over the years, she had been afraid of her parents to know about it. She couldn't bear to see them suffer. That was why she had tried every means to persuade Colin into keeping their privacies from the media. As long as she could live through five years, she would make a thorough break with Colin. And her parents would never know about it in the future. But after so many years, the truth still couldn't be hidden and her parents doubts, or in fact, were already confirmed. So no matter how she lied, they would not believe it. Her mother only forced her to admit it. Unless she admitted it, her mother would really be convinced of it and give up from then on.

Melissa couldn't believe that her parents knew about it through the media, because it was well under control by Colin. And her parents didn't have any contact with outsiders. Then how did they know about it? Who on earth told them? Who on earth was sabotaging this?

Jenny added, "Melissa, say something!"

Melissa kept her head down, as if she had made a huge mistake and a very guilty feeling was rising in her heart. After a long time, she calmed down and said, "Mom, don't ask again. I'm afraid I'll let you down. She finally...... Finally she just admit her previous sin in front of her parents.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
