Chapter 414 Bianca Was Relieved
Chapter 414 Bianca Was Relieved
The host of the radio show was telling the story of a young daughter of an elderly couple in A City.She was only ten years old, but she was suffering from leukemia.
The couple also had a son who was a firefighter, but he had sacrificed himself in a rescue mission.The son was an only child, and the couple was very sad when he lost his life. In an attempt tocomfort his wife who was devastated by the tragedy, the husband discussed it with her andeventually got a daughter.
They lived a peaceful life, but the daughter was eventually diagnosed with leukemia.
The elderly couple incurred huge debts to pay for their daughter's medical fees. They did not havethe money to pay for her medical fees for the coming month.
It was New Year's Day, but the elderly couple could only afford plain white bread. They had beenliving such lives for most of the past year. The old lady even had to beg for the bread they ate."It's fine if we are poor. We don't need much money to survive anyway, but our daughter is only tenyears old. I'm willing to do anything to save my daughter!" The old man said with tears in his eyes.The host of the radio show was a female with a sweet voice.
She continued, “If anyone is willing to donate to the family so that they don't have to worry abouttheir daughter's condition on this day of celebration, you can do so at the following address.”After that, the radio host announced the elderly couple’s home address.
Bianca memorized the address. She thought that it was quite familiar.
She and Sue had passed by that area on one of their outdoor surveys.
At the end of the segment, Bianca told Luke, "What do you think if we pay the elderly couple andtheir daughter a visit today?"
Luke was surprised. He also thought that the family deserved pity, but there were even more peoplein the world that deserved pity, and he would not be able to help everyone.
He was a businessman who prioritized profits. To further develop his business, he had driven manycompanies to bankruptcy. Of course, he had also donated large sums of money to charities anddisaster relief efforts, but that was all done to improve the company's image.
He had never experienced the sensation of wanting to help someone just because he felt sorry forthem, like how Bianca was feeling now.
"I want to pay them a visit too, Daddy. That girl needs our help!" Rainie said as she hugged her dollThe little girl might be naughty, but she had a kind heart. Perhaps she had inherited that fromBianca.
Lanie stopped playing his game on his tablet. "Mm, we can donate our pocket money to help her,"he said.
Bianca was relieved that her two children were so caring toward the poor. She would have huggedand kissed them if not that they were fastened to their car seats
Luke looked at the big one and the two littles ones. He did not expect Bianca and the two childrento be so kind-hearted. He was not kind, so did the two children inherit the characteristic fromBianca?
Luke tried to replace the suffering couple's home using the address.
They followed the directions of the GPS, but they could not replace the exact location. The address wastoo remote, and they could not replace it for the whole morning.
As Luke took another corner, he said helplessly to Bianca. "There's nothing much we can do. Maybethe radio host made up the story just to evoke sympathy.’
He knew better than anyone else about the vicissitudes of life.
He had also heard many instances of such stories that existed only to evoke pity and swindlemoney.
However, Bianca insisted.
She thought for a while and said, "What if the story was true? The elderly couple can't celebrateNew Year's Day because of their daughter's illness... How about this, we'll go to the radio stationand ask. The people there must know the directions. I feel sorry for the couple. Their son hadsacrificed his life in a fire, and their young daughter has leukemia. We should help them withwhatever we can."
Luke nodded and drove the car to the radio station.
The radio station was not very big. The staff inside heard that someone was here to make adonation. When they saw that the person was Luke Crawford, the renowned businessman, theywanted to call their manager, but Luke stopped them.
He did not want too many people to know about it.
It was the first time that Bianca had seen the staff in a radio station.
She had always thought that those people with charming voices were either handsome men orbeautiful women. When she saw those people, she realized that they did not look very remarkable.It looked as though the faces of beautiful voices should be hidden behind the scenes.
In the reception room, the manager of the radio station spoke courteously,” How much money doyou plan to donate, Mr. and Mrs. Crawford? Our station will publicize your good deeds."
The manager knew that Luke was not married yet, but he could tell Bianca was the mother of thetwo children from how the girl looked like her, and how Luke was looking at the young woman withan indulgent gaze.
He was surprised by how cute the two children looked, and he was also curious about the gentleand kind Bianca.
Luke held Bianca's hand. He was not too happy about the manager looking at his woman.
He blocked the manager's line of sight and said calmly, "You don't have to publicize it. It's just asmall gesture.”
The manager smiled awkwardly. Without saying another word, he got someone else to bring Lukeand Bianca there.
They managed to replace the place this time because someone was guiding them. It was a slum in theoutskirts of the city.
The living conditions were deplorable.
Bianca did not expect a slum of such poor conditions to exist in a bustling metropolis like A City.Other than surprise, she also felt pity.
The elderly couple looked kind. They were in their sixties, but their hair was fully white.
Their daughter's name was Shania. She had no hair because of the chemotherapy, but she wasintelligent and precocious. Instead of feeling sorry for herself because of her illness, she wascheerful and extroverted.
The pot was boiling on the stove. There was nothing inside except for water and some cabbageleaves...
Luke did not expect that the story on the radio was real. With a stroke of his pen, he wrote a checkof one million dollars for the elderly couple.
He kept a check on him because he wanted to give it to Simon, Jim's favorite and only son.
"Good day to you. We're here because we heard your story on the radio earlier. You can take thismoney to help your daughter,” Luke said to the elderly couple.
The elderly couple was shocked by the amount on the check. They did not want to take it, butBianca stuffed the check into the old lady's hands...
