At first, hearing Jocelyn's words made Louisa stand still for a long time. After a moment, she laughed, then glanced at him with disdain, approached Jocelyn, and said:
"You think I'm the cheap kind of girl you've ever met? I'm poor but I don't have to rely on you to hold your coins! So please go! If you're grateful that I helped you, don't look for me again, I don't feel comfortable seeing you!"
After saying that, Louisa ignored it and left. At the moment, Louisa left, Jocelyn suddenly had a very strange feeling, like a very important person in his heart had left him. Jocelyn followed Louisa's figure, and loudly said:
"Louisa! You must marry me! I will definitely marry you!"
In vain, Louisa didn't seem to care about Jocelyn's words. In a flash, she merged with the crowd and disappeared. From inside the Rolls-Royce Sweptail, the assistant looked at the boss standing outside with a helpless expression that made the secretary find it difficult to understand. This was the first time he saw the president struggling with a girl like that. The president is surrounded by a lot of girls with excellent looks, moreover, he is the type that gets bored easily, so all the girls he loves can never be with him for more than 3 days. But the girl Louisa made the president give up all the rules so far just to want to be with her, it's strange...
A few minutes later, Jocelyn opened the door and got in the car. Through the rearview mirror, the assistant saw that the chairman's face seemed rather sad. So far, apart from the company causing the chairman to be somewhat troubled, he has never been psychologically affected by anyone.
Although Jocelyn was quite sad, she did not confide in anyone. The world around him is full of unreliable people, who always rely on his weaknesses to push him into exhausting situations. That day, Jocelyn returned to the house quite early instead of going to work as usual. This villa is not really home because Jocelyn basically feels quite suffocated, there is a lot of tension when stepping inside.
As usual, as soon as he entered the house, Jocelyn saw his mother sitting in the middle of the house, surrounded by her friends, all of them gambling addicts. In the middle was a basin of money they had bet on. Jocelyn was so used to this scene, he sighed and went straight upstairs without bothering or greeting anyone. Many times, the company that Jocelyn is running has been involved in many scandals related to his parents. Day and night gambling and arguments are what Jocelyn has gone through to grow up. Therefore, despite being very successful and having a great fortune, Jocelyn has never lived a happy person, the world around him is full of calculations, lies, and fatigue.
After finishing work at the store, Louisa returned. When she pushed open the door to enter the room, she saw Eric cooking, he was cooking simple dishes but the smell was very fragrant. Eric is Louisa's younger brother, but he also has more mature thoughts than his age, often helping her with housework. Recently, however, Eric has not been feeling well, he feels tired in his body, sometimes has stomach pain, and difficulty breathing. Although he realized that his health was a problem, Eric always endured and never told her because he was afraid of making her worry. But that day, while cooking, Eric suddenly had trouble breathing, although he tried not to show it, because his body couldn't take it anymore, Eric dropped the chopsticks he was holding and collapsed, panting heavily...
Hearing a strange noise, Louisa turned to see Eric sitting near the kitchen, his shoulder leaning against the counter, Eric's face pale. Seeing that, Louisa quickly ran over, she panicked and took her brother in her arms, hurriedly saying:
"Eric! What's wrong with you?"
In fear, Louisa picked up the phone to call an ambulance, but Eric was able to stop it, he said:
"No! Please don't call, I'm fine. I guess it's because I'm tired of studying all day...!"
Looking at Eric, Louisa burst into tears. She felt hurt because the boy was too understanding. Louisa also felt sad because she herself could not provide her younger brother with a decent life.
The next morning, Eric went to school quite early. He thought a lot and decided to use the little money he had saved up in the past to go to a nearby hospital. After the examination, the doctor was sad, his face seemed pale, then looked at Eric and said:
"Why do you only go to the doctor now when your illness is already this bad..."
Hearing this, Eric's hand trembled slightly. Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect that when facing the truth, Eric was so scared. After a few hours of waiting for the results, the doctor looked at Eric's blood test results and then looked up at the innocent face of the 18-year-old boy, the doctor said:
"Sorry to tell you that you are suffering from malignant blood cancer… it would be best if you told your family to prepare a large amount of money, then come here as soon as possible for a bone marrow transplant. Marrow will be donated from your relatives who are related to you by blood…"
After hearing those words, Eric's body seemed to fall apart, he held the test paper in his hand and looked at the doctor again, his voice trembling asking:
"So if I don't have a bone marrow transplant, how long will I have to live?"
The doctor was embarrassed, he took off his glasses and looked sadly at the young man, and said:
"It may be 4 months, but with your current condition, I think it will be less than 4 months, maybe 2 months... it's very urgent so you have to immediately go to the hospital for a bone marrow transplant, you must say with your family as soon as possible!"
