The ambulance came after few minus later after I made a call. After reaching the hospital, they took her to the emergency room. I sat down at the waiting room. Put my hands together and waited anxiously. Half an hour had passed but no news, I started to be impatient, I got up from the seat and started to walk around while gazing at the room. After an hour passed the doctor came out of the room, I quickly walked up to him. He looked at me and gave me a soft smile,
"You must be the son of the patient…? Come to my office, there is something I like to talk to you about"
I nodded and looked at the room and then lowered my head, my mind felt was fuzzy and I couldn't think straight but I managed to follow the doctor to his office. He entered his office and took a seat, he told me to close the door and take a seat. I nodded and closed the door after entering the room. I took a seat across him. I looked at him in panic,
"Sir, what's wrong with my mom!?"
He cleared his throat and gave me a serious gaze,
"Please calm down"
I lowered my head and gave him a slight nod, he grabbed some of the documents that was laid across his desk, he narrowed his eyes at me as I kept my head down and gripping onto the pants,
"Your mom has a weak heart…we need to do a sugary…simply putting a heart transplant…we will be starting our treatment from today onward but we need to do the sugary faster as possible."
He hand me a paper, I looked through the paper and my eyes widen as my hands started to shake, I muttered softly,
"This is too expensive…i-I"
The doctor looked at me in pity, he sighed and adjust his glasses,
"I can give you six months…until then we will do our best to treat her well also please make the payment as fast as possible"
I got up and bowed down, thanking him for taking care of my mother, I grab the paper and exited the office. the doctor went through the same documents as he caught the surname. He picked up and dialed a number. He whispered softly,
"That cat needs your help…"
He hanged up after he said that, he sighed and leaned back and lifted his chin up and laughed softly.

I went through couple of stores and cafes asking for part time jobs but for my bad luck no place was taking in anyone. I stuffed my hands inside my pockets and sighed and mumbled softly.
"Even if I worked a part time job…how am I even able to earn so much money in few months…"
A bright light started to flash onto me. I use my hand as shades as I turned around and looked at the car that was following me. I stopped after few miters ahead. The black car parked next to me. I watched the window being slide down, my eyes widen when I saw the person who was driving it. I back up a bit as the male watched me as a smirk appeared on his face. I huffed and clicked my tongue, I stomped my feet and began to walk off but he kept following me, I started to walk faster but he didn't stopped. I paused and looked at the male as he gave me a smug face. I gritted my teeth and started to hiss at him,
"What do you want!?"
He leaned to the passage seat getting a better view. he shrugged his shoulders and looked at me from top to bottom,
"Come inside the car, so we can talk"
I yelped at him in shock,
"hell nah! Like why the fuck should I get inside a mutt's car?!"
He glared at me with his usual deep murder's red eyes, making me froze in place, I should my head and grabbed the door handle and opened it as he moved away from the passenger seat. He placed his hands on the steering wheel and looked at me from the corner of his eyes. I sat on the passenger seat and closed the door afterwards. I folded my eyes and looked away from him. He looked at the road as he said with a soft tone,
"I heard about your mother"
My eyes widen as I looked at him, my mouth wide open in shock, he looked back at me with a serious expression,
"I'm surprised you didn't notice"
I sat straight and cupped my chin and thought about what he said, then it clicked, the name of the doctor who was looking after my mother, and the last names matched with him. He looked at me with devilish smirk.
"I guess you finally found out, the person who's looking after your mother is my oldest brother"
I covered my mouth and lowered my head, trying to progress everything. I started to breath heavily as I tried to hold back my tears, then he started to speak again, my eyes was kept widen during his entire talk.
"it seems like the sugary cost a lot and even with a part time job I don't think you can pay off both medical bills and the sugary cost"
I couldn't hold my anger anymore so I reacted, I grabbed his shirt and glared at him, my hands wouldn't stop trembling and I couldn't talk back to him either, it was like my mind went completely blank, then he shove his card onto my face, I leaned back and grabbed the card in confusion. he adjusted his shirt and looked at me.
"be my personal slave and I will pay you ten times more than those part timers pay you, that would be enough for you to pay off your debt"
I clenched my fists and got off the car immediately, both out of anger and embarrassment. I slammed the door close as I hugged myself. I started to yell at him,
"Don't even think I would sale my body!"
He sighed and started the car, but before he drove off he looked at me with hungry eyes,
"But do you even have another choice?"
He slides his window up and drove off, leaving me between huge choices, I walked home with this thought in mind. Opened the front door and close it, I wore mu house slippers and went inside. I walked upstairs to my room and fall onto my bed. I looked at the crumble card he gave me. My mother suddenly appeared in my head. I sat up and pull out my phone from my pocket and dialed the number, my hands wouldn't stop trembling and the only words that came from my mouth was,
"I will do it"
