When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 859

The middle-aged couple froze for a second and exchanged glances with each other. After a moment ofhesitation, they stared at me and said, “Okay, we believe you, but don’t you try to fool us. No matterwhat, Fuller Corporation has to compensate for my daughter’s death.”

I nodded, having no time to think things over. Then, I gave Stella a meaningful look, and she called foran ambulance right away. However, seeing that it would take a while for the ambulance to come over, Ihad no choice but to drive them to the hospital.

After sending the child to the ER, a nurse approached us and asked, “Who is the child’s family?”

“We’re the child’s grandparents. How is she now?” the middle-aged couple answered in unison.

The nurse nodded politely at them. “We’re unsure of the child’s condition yet. Please go to the first floorfor registration and payment. Once the result is out, we’ll inform you immediately.”

The couple was stunned by her words. Seeing the look of embarrassment on their face, I said, “Giveme the child’s identification card. I’ll settle the registration and payment.”

The two were dumbfounded. In the next second, their eyes turned red-rimmed as they gazed at me.“Mrs. Fuller, we can’t thank you enough.”

I didn’t say much. Taking the necessary documents, I headed to the first floor to register and pay theadmission fee.

When I came back, I returned the medical records and identification card to them. Staring at me withreddened eyes, the woman thanked me again.

I simply nodded in acknowledgment. My phone had rung several times just now, but I was too busy topick it up. Now that I was free, I fished out my phone and unlocked it. It was Ashton who called meearlier.

He sent me a few texts as well: Where are you? Why didn’t you answer my calls?

I replied: You should rest more. I’m at the hospital. Sasha’s daughter passed out all of a sudden, so Igave them a ride. Sleep for a little longer. Your health is more important. Don’t worry, I’ll manage thisissue properly.

Afterward, I kept my phone in my bag. The woman glanced at me while asking, “Mrs. Fuller, do youthink that we’re too unscrupulous for doing this?”

Stupefied, I gave no comment.

She chuckled dryly. “We’ve never been in such dire straits before. Some children are here to bring joy,while others bring despair. My husband and I have two children. The one who’s here to bring joy haskicked the bucket, while the other is racking up so much debt that it’s forcing us to a corner. Isn’t itfunny? Still, no matter how desolate we are, we have to survive. Only then we can hope for better livesand see our granddaughter grow up.”

As I listened to her in silence, a sense of sorrow welled up in my heart. In life, there were many twistsand turns. People had only a few reasons to be happy, but there were thousands of instances thatcould make people miserable. As for the couple who were over their fifties, their granddaughter wastheir only reason to live.

A few moments later, the ER door opened, and a doctor came out. The couple hurriedly approachedhim and asked, “Doctor, how’s the child now? Is she alright?”

Glancing at the couple with his brows drew together, the doctor contemplated for a few seconds beforesaying, “Please come to my office for a discussion.”

I grasped the meaning of his words at once. It seemed that the child had a critical medical condition.

Later, in the doctor’s office.

The couple squirmed nervously in their seat while staring at the doctor. Having experienced similarsituations countless times before, the latter sighed and handed a medical report to them.

In a daze, Sasha’s mother took it, but she couldn’t understand the content, so she passed it to herhusband.

After a while, the middle-aged man gaped at the doctor in disbelief. His voice quivered as hequestioned, “Leukemia? Doctor, did you make a mistake? How can she have leukemia? She’s such anobedient and sweet child. I can’t believe it…”

While speaking, he broke down, and tears started trickling down his face unceasingly.

The woman’s body went stiff at the news. Staring at the doctor with widened eyes, she tried hard tochoke back her tears. “Doctor, did you get it wrong? Maybe she hasn’t rested well these days, butthere’s no way our granddaughter has leukemia. She’s only four years old. This is impossible!”

Looking at the couple who seemed to have grown much older within seconds, the doctor sighedhelplessly. “I wish the child was well as much as you do. We’ve performed a full-body medical checkupfor her. Now that the results are out, I hope you can stay rational and positive. You need to be preparedbecause her upcoming treatment and chemotherapy aren’t going to be easy. Apart from that, a bonemarrow transplant is the only way to cure leukemia. I’m guessing that you’re the child’s grandparents?You must talk to her parents and get them ready for the operation.”

All of a sudden, Sasha’s mother burst out crying, wailing so hard that she could barely speak. Herhusband quickly consoled her. However, words meant nothing to the couple who were utterlydevastated by the news.
