"I..."
Rose's eyes rolled around.Obviously,she didn't know what excuse to make up.
Jack listened for a while and probably understood,"Mom,didn't you tell me before that you put the card Mia gave you in the nightstand?"
"Yes,yes.It's in the nightstand."
Rose quickly nodded when she saw an opportunity to get out of the situation.
I sighed.Jack still can't bear to scold his own mother.
"Mom,then give me the key."
Mia looked at me faintly,Linda,you won't run away,will you?"
"Of course not.Lucy is here.I'm not that heartless."
I emphasized the word"heartless",and sure enough,Rose's face turned pale for a moment.
I helped Mia up and then said,"I'll be back soon."
I probably understood what Jack meant.Although Rose had spent all the money,saving Lucy was the most important thing now.
We discussed it and took out 50,000 dollars of our savings and deposited it into the card,considering it as the last time we cleaned up Rose's mess.
I hadn't been back to Rose's place for a month,and the whole house had been completely renovated.
Before,she still considered us.Except for our room,there were posters of her idol everywhere in the house.
Now,even in the bathroom,there were merchandise of idol Green.Those pairs of eyes were staring at me.Not to mention whether it looked good or not,it was really creepy.
I thought it was just an ordinary trip,but I didn't expect to discover Rose's biggest secret hidden in the nightstand.
My expression changed.After telling Jack,he just remained silent for a while and then sighed,"Linda,we can't control this anymore."
Yes,if it really came to that point,it wasn't something we could help with.
I was a bit silent on the way to the hospital by taxi.In the previous life,Rose framed me.Presumably,she also had such thoughts.
At that moment,I felt a little shudder.
In the hospital,Mia tightly grabbed Rose's arm,afraid that she would run away.When she saw me coming,her bloodshot eyes stared at me,"Is the money there?"
I didn't want to make a big fuss,so I nodded,"I only found this.I wanted to pay the fee for you,but I thought it would be better for you to pay it yourself.The nurse said there's probably 50,000 dollars in it..."
As I said this,I took out another card from my bag,"This is the wish of Jack and me.There's probably 20,000 dollars in it.You know,I've had a big job transfer recently,and I'm afraid I can't help much more."
I pretended to be relaxed and patted her,"Go pay the fee quickly."
After getting the money,she regained some of her sanity.But when she heard that there was only 50,000 dollars,she couldn't help but question Rose,"Mom clearly had 500,000 dollars.Where's the rest?"
Rose thought that Mia would let it go after getting the money.She didn't expect that we only gave 50,000 dollars.When Mia asked this question,she turned her eyes to me again,trying to ask for help,"It's all here.Is it Linda..."
My call with Jack had been on.As soon as he heard that Lucy had an accident,he immediately asked for leave and came over.In the taxi,when he heard Rose still trying to frame us,he finally couldn't stand it anymore,"Mom,what are you talking about?We don't even know your password.How could we take your money?"
I showed a disappointed expression,"Mom,if you continue to be like this,it will really hurt us..."
Hearing the faint threat in my words,she also understood that if she fell out with us at this moment,she definitely wouldn't get any benefits.
She could only say awkwardly,"I was wrong.I shouldn't have suspected you."
Mia didn't care to argue with Rose at this moment.She picked up the money and rushed to pay the fee for this period.
And Rose seemed to want to take the opportunity to leave,but I quickly stopped her,"Mom,if you leave now,when Mia comes back and sees that you're not here,she might think something bad."
Her face turned a bit ugly,showing the resentment of being stopped by me,"How could that be?How could I run away?I just saw that Mia didn't eat,and I'm afraid she'll starve."
"Mom,then I'll go buy it.Mia definitely wants you to stay with her for a while."
I meant well,but Rose said,"Did you touch my thing when you took the card?"
Her voice was a bit resentful,as if she had already expected something,"Is that why you're trying so hard to stop me from going home?"
I was a bit speechless.Anyway,I was for her.
But I knew what she was worried about,so I just pretended to be confused.
She looked as if she understood everything and said angrily,"Linda,you're really malicious.What benefits do you get from making my daughter hate me?Are you going to gossip in front of her?You're really malicious!"
But I wasn't worried at all and looked puzzled,"Mom,what are you talking about?"
I was quite helpless,making her seem a bit unreasonable.
"You opened my nightstand,didn't you?Did you..."
"Mom."I sighed,"How could we rummage through your things?The money was from Jack and me."
She was a bit guilty,"Who knows if you touched it or not..."
"Mom,if you're going to be like this,I can't talk to you anymore.You don't even trust us.Put yourself in our shoes..."
I said to Jack on the phone rather sadly,"Mom doesn't trust me.You deal with it."
When Rose saw that I really didn't want to care about her,she was really anxious and quickly grabbed my hand,"Linda,I was wrong.I shouldn't have said that.You cann't ignore me."
When Mia came back after paying the fee and saw our situation,although she was confused,she still asked the question in her heart,"Mom,I'm asking you,how much of that compensation money is left?"
How much was left?It was cleaner than an empty pocket.I watched coldly as Rose's hands began to sweat.
Just then,Jack rushed over in a hurry,looking extremely anxious,"How's Lucy's condition now?"
Jack had always been very kind to Mia and Rose.As soon as he arrived,they seemed to have found their backbone and ran to his side,looking very aggrieved.
"Jack,look at mom,she..."
"Jack,you have to stand up for me."
I watched coldly as they began to pour out their grievances to Jack.At the same time,the light outside the operating room went out.
Fortunately,this time,because the fee was paid in time,Lucy's condition was stabilized.
