With that, Mr. Qin said to Ling Yiran, "Lianyi is in bad shape. As you can see, our family is in a mess now. We're already in a bad mood, and we hope that you won't show up in front of us. Although we know what happened to Lianyi this time has nothing to do with you, we're reminded of how much Lianyi gave up for you when we see you, so we'll always bear a grudge against you."
"I... I understand that," said Ling Yiran. She had never blamed Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin. Any parent would not like to see their child sacrifice their promising future for a friend.
Just then, a nurse came over and handed a bill to Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin. "We've deducted the deposit from before. You still owe some money, so you should pay up as soon as possible. Qin Lianyi still has two more surgeries to go. And with the cost of the ICU ward and the subsequent costs, family members better prepare... more than a million dollars."
That knocked Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin out of their wits. More than a million dollars? How could an ordinary family like them have so much money?!
"That... That much money?" Mr. Qin asked with a quiver.
"That depends. You need to ask the doctor about the details, but more than a million dollars is only the minimum you need. It’s possible the treatment will cost more money later,” the nurse said.
After the nurse left, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin looked miserable as they held the bill.
"What do we do? The money..." Mrs. Qin said helplessly. The couple's savings were down to a little more than 100,000 dollars, which was just a drop in the ocean to save their daughter.
However, if they failed to pay up, the hospital would only give their daughter basic treatment and stop her medicine. They would only keep her alive. If that was the case, how long could their daughter stay alive? Perhaps even if she could stay alive, she would only be a living dead.
Mr. Qin furrowed his brows. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind. "If there's no other way, let's sell the house. We can sell the house for more than a million dollars."
