Chapter 8 " Jade , I'm really gonna lose my mom this time , aren't I ? " Dana leaned against the wall , and her body slid down slowly . " I can't come up with 160 thousand dollars . I can never come up with 160 thousand dollars! " Jade was utterly anxious . " Don't give up just yet . I'm sure there must be some other way ! " Some other way ? Dana was suddenly stunned . Dana thought about what Omari had said to her . He said he could cover Alena's medical bills and get Alena the best doctor Right now , Omari was her only hope . Dana began searching frantically for the contact information of her junior high school friends . Luckily , she located one of her classmates and pleaded with him to add her back to the classmate's group chat on WhatsApp . To her surprise , she discovered that Omari had also left the group after her departure . Chapter 8 " Can someone get in touch with Omari ? " Ignoring potential judgments or discussions , she swiftly sent a message in the group chat . Shortly after , her classmate , Myles Grant , responded , " Wasn't he in the group before ? I thought I saw him in the group the other day . When did he leave ? " " What's weird about that ? He is the CEO of the Graham Group now . He's not what he used to be , and of course , he's got nothing in common to say to us . We're just nobodies . " " You sound so jealous ." " The ones in the group began to talk about something else , and Dana's text soon vanished . While she was frowning and trying to come up with something else , someone in the group suddenly mentioned her . " Dana ? I have Omari's number . It's just that I haven't talked to him in years , so I don't know if he's changed his number . I saved it the last time he reached out to me , wanting me to add him to the group . " It was the class monitor . Soon , he sent her the number in private . Chapter 8 Dana was overjoyed and dialed at once . Yet all she heard was a cold female voice . " I'm sorry . The number you have reached is power off ..." The voice was like cold water that hit her and made her instantly awake . She withdrew from the WhatsApp group . She thought , " What am I doing ? " I actually take his words seriously ? " He has a woman he loves . Maybe he proposed to marry me because he was having a fallout with his beloved . " How come I forget about the huge gap between us simply because of that ? I can't even get to see him right now , and I'm still fantasizing that he's gonna help me after I turn him down . " She put the phone down and went back to the ICU . She didn't know if Alena was asleep or unconscious . Anyway , Alena was so quiet that she was somehow scared . Lukas checked Alena's data and asked Dana , lowering his voice , " Well ? Have you come up with a decision on her surgery yet ? " " Dr. Gregory ... Can I pay in installments ? " Chapter 8 Dana's voice was parched . She hadn't had a drop of water all day , and a crack on her lip was oozing blood , giving her a slightly embarrassed appearance . Lukas expressed his helplessness , " I'm sorry . I would like to assist you , but you know how critical your mother's condition is . Moreover , you and your mother don't have any fixed assets , so the hospital won't agree to operate on her until you settle all the bills . Please understand . " Dana said nothing . She was not surprised by his answer . Indeed , she had nothing . " Go and eat something . I'll keep an eye on her here for a while . She has to be in the ICU all night , and you've got no one but yourself . You don't want to fall sick as well , do you ? " Dana nodded and thanked him . She had no appetite at all . She bought herself a bottle of water , and when she took her phone to pay , someone called her . It was the previous number she dialed . It was Omari ! She pressed the button to answer . " Omari ..." Chapter 8 " Hello . Who is this ? " Dana didn't hear Omari's voice . It was his personal assistant who called her back . ) Dana was a bit disappointed , but she still wanted to give it a go . " I'm Mr. Graham's classmate , and my name is Dana Maurice. Could you please tell him that I called ? I hope he'll call me back . " " " Noted , Ms. Maurice . Is there anything else ? " " No. Thanks . " When she hung up the phone , she suddenly realized how Alena felt when she jumped from the building . When cornered by all kinds of unexpected situations , she indeed had the urge to die . *** It was cold in the hospital .
