Chapter 54

Soon, Patricia and Gus went to their rendezvous and got their contract signed before the money wastransferred to their accounts. When she was about to leave, she looked back at the company, whichseemed like a legit business premise judging from their spacious workplace 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 Ineed 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 theman 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’ssympathetic cry, her heart melted with pity, whereupon she walked up to Darcie and comforted herdaughter with her.

Due to her chemotherapy, Poppy lost all her hair and went bald, but even so, her looks remainedadorable as her bony face accentuated her big beautiful eyes. In the meantime, Darcie was seen withtears welling up in her eyes, her heart broken into pieces at the sight of the suffering her daughter wasgoing through.

After the injection, Poppy was put to sleep without acting up at all, which was when Darcie finallycollapsed into Pataricia’s arms in relief. “Oh, you have no idea how much I wish I was in her placeinstead, Tricia.”

The heartbroken mother broke into tears when she talked about Poppy, having cried more times thanshe could remember. “Oh, God! Please help Poppy. I’d give anything for her to recover, even if itmeans I have to live twenty years shorter than I should.”

When she heard Darcie heartbreaking words, Patricia was overwhelmed by her sympathy as shegently rubbed the woman’s back to comfort her.

After crying for a while, Darcie eventually felt calmer and backed away from Patricia’s arms, rubbingher tearful red eyes. “Haven’t you found a job, Tricia?” Judging from Patricia’s visit at that hour, shebelieved the former still hadn’t found a job for herself yet, but even so, she didn’t wish for her to goback 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, tenpercent of the medical cost isn’t really that much either, so please use the money to pay the bill. Youcan 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 onceagain. “Thank you so much, Tricia!” After all, all her friends and relatives shied away from her themoment they saw her, afraid that she would ask them for money. Therefore, she was grateful thatPatricia was kind enough to lend her a helping hand.

The latter responded with a smile. “Don’t mention it. I’m just doing whatever I can. Anyway, go pay thebill 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 restfullook 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 wouldwant Poppy to be her daughter-in-law, 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 seenwith 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 atease. She then continued to chat with Darcie for a few more moments before she decided it was timefor her to make a move.

When she returned to her car, she thought to herself that she could finally drive with some peace ofmind, recalling Isaac’s permission for her to make mileage claims. He is rich anyway, so it’d be a sin if Idon’t take advantage of him.

At that moment, her phone rang, whereupon she answered it right away, thinking it could be from oneof the companies 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 availableto come for an interview today.”
