“It depends on whether the operation is performed by experts from our country or from abroad. Your mother’s condition isn’t very promising right now. My suggestion is that it’s best to invite foreign experts to do the surgery, but the cost will be very high.”
The doctor informed her of the examination results.
“Considering the various expenses for postoperative care, it will be at least one million.”
To her, this was an astronomical number.
Gu Qingxin’s gaze rested on her mother in the intensive care unit. Her chest hurt as though it had been torn apart. Her mother was her only relative now, and she had to save her mother no matter what.
“When will my mother wake up?”
“The tumor is now pressing on an important nerve in your mother’s brain. Without surgery… I’m afraid she will never wake up,” the doctor told her regretfully.
Gu Qingxin’s pale face turned a few shades whiter. What the doctor meant was that if her mother didn’t have the surgery, she would just be waiting to die…
“Young lady, you should prepare for the surgery as soon as possible. The sooner the surgery is done, the better it is for your mother. Once you have raised the money, come find me.”
The doctor left, and Gu Qingxin was left alone in the corridor. Looking at her mother lying there lifelessly, her eyes filled with tears. No, no matter what, she had to save her mother, her only relative left in this world.
Despite her extreme reluctance, Gu Qingxin had to leave the ward and rush out of the hospital. As soon as she stepped down the stairs, she saw her father get out of a car.
Gu Qingxin quickly ran over to him, grabbed his arm anxiously and said, “Dad, you must save mom. The doctor said that if she can’t have surgery…”
Gu Huai’an cut her off impatiently, saying, “Let’s talk about it in the car.”
“But… mom is still in the hospital.”
“You want money, right? 1’11 take you to get it.” Gu Huai’an pulled Gu Qingxin and ushered her into the car.
“Dad, you’re really willing to pay for mom’s surgery.” Gu Qingxin asked with a frown, feeling that her father was acting somewhat unusual.
“I’m asking you, where is Meng Xilin now?” Gu Huai’an clutched her wrist tightly, with enough force to nearly crush it.
Gu Qingxin’s wrist was already injured. Being grabbed hurt her intensely, and cold sweat began to trickle down her forehead. “I don’t know where he is.”
“Don’t know? Weren’t you the one who voluntarily went to his office yesterday?”
She took the initiative?
Did YunCi spread this again?
That woman’s ability to tell barefaced lies is unrivaled!
“I didn’t take the initiative. Yesterday, Meng Xilin said he had a gift in his office, so we went together. YunCi and Tang Rongling left me alone with that bastard!” Gu Qingxin still felt raw pain when she thought of what happened yesterday.
“I don’t care about all this! All I’m asking you now is: where did you take the young master of Meng family?”
Gu Huai’an was exasperated. Last night, he received news from the Meng family that Meng Xilin was missing, nowhere to be found, dead or alive. The Meng family has been frantically looking for him ever since.
He had later asked Xiao Ci and found out that his precious daughter had chosen to stay in Meng Xilin’s office yesterday. What happened after that was unknown.
He had urgently sent people to investigate and found that before Meng Xilin’s disappearance, he was only with Gu Qingxin.
“I really don’t know. Let go of me.” Unable to bear the pain any longer, Gu Qingxin tried hard to pull back her wrist.
“If you don’t know, then I can only let you disappear with the young master of the Meng family!” A ruthless light flickered in Gu Huai’an’s eyes..
