Chapter 17: A Heartbreaking Scene (2)

  Grandma Wang patted my hand comfortingly and said in a serious tone, "Child, your grandma has been sent to the nearest Xianghe Hospital. You should go take a look quickly. The doctor called and said that the situation doesn't seem too optimistic."

  "Thanks for telling me, Grandma." I thanked Grandma Wang while running forward without stopping.

  Arriving at the Peace Hospital, I asked the nurse on duty and hurriedly took the elevator to the ward. There, I saw my grandmother lying on a white hospital bed, with the doctor beside her giving treatment.

  I stood quietly by, looking at my pale and wan grandmother, suddenly reddening around the eyes. I'm really to blame, actually leaving Grandma alone at home to watch a concert. When I received the phone call at noon, I felt that Grandma's voice was somewhat unusual, but I didn't notice it at the time. I'm an unqualified granddaughter.

  "Are you a relative of the patient?" A doctor in a white coat asked me.

  I hastily grabbed the doctor's arm, "Doctor, I... I'm her granddaughter, how is my grandmother doing?"

  The doctor pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "The patient has a tumor in his head. We need to operate immediately, otherwise it will affect his life safety and he may become a vegetable."

  "I'm anxious, let's get the surgery done quickly."

  The doctor explained calmly: "It's like this, if you want to have surgery, you must sign on the surgical consent form and pay a certain fee. This patient is older and the tumor is relatively large, at least 10,000 yuan."

  10,000 yuan? These enormous numbers are like a diamond pressing down on me, making it hard for me to breathe. Where can I suddenly come up with such a huge sum of 10,000 yuan? There's only my grandma and me at home, my parents passed away when I was six years old, and it was grandma who raised me all by herself. I couldn't bear the thought of grandma becoming a vegetable, I have to think of a way to solve this money problem.

  I ran to the bank and checked my account balance, but I only had 2,000 yuan left, still short of 8,000 yuan. For someone like me who has no relatives in this city, it's a significant amount. How can I make 8,000 yuan overnight?

  "Marry me, be my woman, I'll give you 10 million yuan, how about it?"

  ……

  Suddenly, a person's voice popped out of nowhere in my mind.
