Victoria wasn’t a fool
“Before you do something you can’t undo, think carefully about which of them matters more to you,” Aron said bluntly as a friend. “Personally, Idon’t think Eva’s character holds a candle to Victoria’s”
Leon’sky, emotionless gaze turned toward him.
Aston immediately shut up. “Forget I said anything.”
Leon had always been the smartest among them, but when it came to certain things, he was incredibly stubborn. He was so stubborn that no amount of reasoning could change his mind.
Half an hour later, the doors to the
operating room finally opened.
On the surveillance screen, Victoria immediately stood up and rushed over, her eyes filled with unmistakable worry and anxiety.
“Dr.Zane, my mom…”
“The surgery was a success.” Leslie removed his mask and offered a reassuring smile. “Talk to her every day and keep her company. She’ll wake up within two months at most.” “Really? Victoria’s eyes lit up instantly.
Leslie nodded, giving her a firmanswer. “Really ”
“Thank you“” Victoria said, her voice trembling with emotion.
She thanked him and the rest of the medical team, her gratitude heartfelt. “Thank you all for doing your best”
Laura was wheeled to a ward

Victoria’s heart settled slightly, and the weight hanging ov
The nurses carefully settled Laura in bed and went over the post–surgery care instructions. Once everything was explained, Leslie hamed to her. “Come to my office for a moment. The nurses can take care of things here.”
Victoria thanked them and followed him out.
Back in his office, Leslie sat down and flipped through Laura’s medical file, his expression heavier than before.
Seeing his expression, Victoria grew nervous. She couldn’t sit still. “Is there something else wrong with my mom’s condition?
Leslie stood up and poured her a glass of water, placing it in front of her.
Victoria grew even more worried
“There’s no issue with her condition. She just needs time to wake up, Leslie said as he sat back down, although his eyes held a trace of complexity. Victoria pressed on ‘Then what is it?
“Before the surgery, I told you the operation would cost so thousand dollars. But we don’t yet know how much post–surgery care will add up to.”
Libegan slowly, trying to cushion the impact of what he was about to say, “You remember that righth
Victoria nodded. “I do”
Suppressing the conflict in his heart, he told her the truth “Based on her current condition, dally expenses will range from three hundred to five hundred dollars. That means the monthly cost will be.”
He didn’t finish the sentence.
A five–figure monthly medical bill was a nightmare for ordinary people.
Leon had translessed money to the hospital’s account. But to Victory, that money didn’t exist. She had to earn it herself.
“It’s line Flean it.”
Now that the surgery was over, the crushing pressure in her heart had eased. “As long as she wakes up, I’ll find a way to cover the costs.”
Leslie besitated. He wanted to tell her that the treatment would continue regardless, but he knew that revealing this would cost him his job. Sacrificing his career for someone che’s personal matters wasn’t worth
“I still lurve some money left. I’ll deposit it into the hospital account Later,” Victoria sald proactively. “Don’t worry, I won’t fall behind on payinents.”
After selling her ring last time, she had paid the hospital fees and cent, leaving her with a few thousand dollars. Her as commissions had earned her 100 dollars.
Her dapreciates brought in 1,500 dollars a week.
If she passed the final interview for that job, she’d have a steady udary. She could take or more online at commissions and findextragies.
