“Please, I’m begging you to save my mom. I’ll find a way to borrow the money. Please start the surgery on her first!” Madison’s voice filled the hospital ward with despair.
Her eyes were swollen from crying as she pleaded with the doctor in front of her. Her clothes were torn, and her hair was a mess, showing signs of a recent struggle.
“Miss, I really can’t help you with this. The hospital has already covered your mother’s previous hospital bills. The surgery costs 200 thousand dollars. If you can’t provide that, we really can’t
proceed.
“Please try to understand our situation,” the attending doctor said, his brows furrowing together as he spoke with a hint of impatience.

“You can do it! It’s just a surgery. As long as you’re willing, you can perform it anytime. I’ll the money eventually!” Madison kept begging.
“Miss, you should try to find another solution. I have other patients to attend to. I must go now,” the doctor said, preparing to leave.
“Doctor, please don’t go!” Madison grabbed the doctor’s coat, refusing to let him leave.
“Miss, stop making a scene. This is a hospital, and other patients are waiting for me!” The doctor’s eyes flashed with annoyance.
“Doctor, I beg you, please perform the surgery on my mom first!” Madison clung to the doctor’s coat, desperately not letting him go.
“Let go!” The doctor pushed Madison away in frustration.
Madison fell to the ground but quickly crawled back to the doctor, wrapping her arms around his legs and sobbing. “Doctor, you can’t leave!”
She couldn’t let go. She knew that letting go meant losing the last hope of saving her mother.
Just yesterday, the hospital diagnosed her mother with a brain tumor. It was still in the early stages and curable with surgery. But if left untreated, it would soon advance to a terminal stage, leaving no
chance for treatment.
The surgery cost 200 thousand thousand dollars. It was a trivial amount for her in the past. But now, she had nothing. Laura had cut off her company, and Archie had cruelly abandoned her. Not only did he swindle her business partners in the province, but he also blocked her contact.
When she went to Archie’s family for an explanation, his men nearly beat her to death. The bruises on her body were from the assault last night.
The world was a materialistic place.
When she was successful, every business owner in the city wanted to collaborate with her. Now, they

all shunned her. The idea of borrowing money was laughable; they turned her away at their doors.

With no other options, she returned to the hospital to beg the doctors. She knew it was futile, but it
was her last resort.
“Madison, stop begging them. Let’s go home… I won’t get treated,” Pia, weakened and lying in the hospital bed, said with tears in her eyes.
She tried to get up to comfort Madison but nearly fell due to her frailty.
“Mom!” Madison rushed to support her.
“Daughter, let’s go home… But we don’t have a home anymore…” Madison’s eyes were filled with despair.
“Madison, it’s all my fault. I trusted Archie, and look where it got us!” Pia broke down and blamed herself.
“Mom, please stop. It’s not your fault… It’s all mine,” Madison held her mother tightly, feeling her heart breaking.
The doctor shook his head helplessly. “Alright, try to get the money for the surgery fee. Also, about the hospital bills, I’m afraid you’ll have to be discharged today if you can’t provide us the payment, he said before attempting to leave.
“Doctor, please don’t go!” Madison chased after him.
But as she reached the door, her expression suddenly changed. She turned around quickly and hid her face from the approaching Cameron.
Cameron frowned deeply. It was indeed Madison in the ward. He hadn’t expected her to be in such a dire situation. He wondered what had happened to her with all those injuries on her body.
