After eating, there was nothing to do, I drove straight back, just arrived home, Dennis called, voice low and introspective, “home?”
I nodded my head and looked at the time, it was already afternoon and he should be getting off work soon.
I can’t help but say, “Are you coming back?”
“Well, I’ll be back in a few minutes, miss me?” His voice was as nice as ever, and I couldn’t help but slightly blush a little.
Into the phone, “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook.”
He seemed to think hard and said, “How about eating you?”
This man …
Just hung up the phone, the phone rang again, is an unfamiliar number, answer the noisy clamor coming from over there …
Intermittent.
I was a bit puzzled by what I heard for a while and hesitated for a moment before I spoke, “Are you Selina’s mother?”
The other party answered a few times, and from the sound of their voices they seemed to be on the verge of tears.
After a moment’s hesitation, I spoke, “Auntie, I said I would try to help you if I could, the police have not yet come up with the results, we will wait for the results to come down and then talk, can we?”
“How did not out? The police gave us the autopsy report a long time ago, you don’t intend to help us just say so, just think of dragging on like this, waiting for the time to drag on, when our Selina is cremated, so that when we say nothing is useful, you will bite the bullet and conclude that Selina committed suicide, right?” Selina’s mother was a bit agitated, and her words carried accusations and distrust.
I frowned, about Selina’s autopsy report I really do not know yet, slightly calm down, I spoke, “Auntie, you first calm down, I really have not seen the report, so, you first wait for me to ask the situation, we can discuss, okay?”
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment and spoke, “Good!”
I hung up the phone, I was a little tired, sometimes a soft heart is really not a good thing, sighed I called Toby, but in a short time the phone was answered.
“Mrs. George, hello!” Toby’s usual straight man greeting.
I went straight to the point and said, “Toby, has Selina’s autopsy report come out yet?”
“It’s out, the result given by the police side is suicide!”
I hmmed and spoke, “And is the evidence conclusive?”
“Well, the broken steel pipe at the fall point was broken by Selina herself, she had seen a heart doctor before and was diagnosed as having mental problems, she wanted to commit suicide for a long time, but could not let go of her daughter and parents, that’s why she never did.”
I frowned, “Then why did she suddenly decide to kill herself again?”
Toby sighed, “She had previously bought an accidental death insurance, that one policy is effective from last month, if it is concluded to be an accidental death, the beneficiaries of that insurance are her parents and daughter, plus our company’s payout, her family should be able to live a good life, at least they don’t have to run for their lives.”
So Selina is already calculated everything before jumping.
It’s just that she probably didn’t expect the police to investigate in such detail.
It is no wonder that Selina’s mother suddenly called me to save them, I think they know what is going on, so they called.
I nodded and hung up and called Selina’s mother. I could hear that she was very anxious and I couldn’t talk to her clearly over the phone, so I said I would go to the hospital tomorrow and talk.
It was night and Dennis went home.
The dining table.
I almost took all the dishes I could to him, he looked at me and put down his chopsticks, his gaze slightly averted, “Go ahead, what’s the matter?”
I had a little weakness, pulled a few smiles, looked at him and said, “What can I have ah, you eat more, recently the company has a lot of things …”
With him staring at me all the time, I couldn’t say anything else, so I sighed slightly and spoke, “Well, I want to talk to you about Selina.”
He raised an eyebrow and spoke, “Well, go ahead!”
“Selina’s daughter has blood cancer, and I want to help her!” I opened my mouth and looked at him, a little vainly.
He nodded, “How do you plan to help?”
I hesitated for a moment and looked at him, “Selina’s autopsy report came out and she committed suicide, if we follow the normal compensation procedures, what is the most her family can pay?”
He frowned, “The company paid her family out of humanitarianism, originally the company could have not been responsible for her at all, this compensation is not much.”
I know in my heart more or less, after all, Selina is a suicide, not because of accidental death, so the company does not have to pay her any compensation at all, but …
He seemed to know what I was going to do, and after a moment of slight silence, he spoke, “the George Group has a foundation from which you can apply for a sum of money for the boy, but Clara, you want to find out if the person you’re helping will get you into trouble.”
I didn’t quite understand what he meant, but when I heard him say that I could apply from the foundation, I couldn’t help but also breathe a sigh of relief and look at him and say, “I know, I’ll take care of this.”
Selina’s daughter’s matter is considered to be settled.
The next day, I went straight to the hospital.
I don’t know if it’s because of the treatment, the child, who was already emaciated, became even more shaky at this point, the child’s hair fell out quite a bit and looked a bit sickly.
When Selina’s mother saw me, she pulled me with some excitement and said, “Mrs. George, you’re finally here, the doctor said that Angle’s next chemotherapy fee is 500, 000, but Selina’s compensation fee is only 200, 000, we simply can’t come up with 300, 000, Mrs. George, please, help us! ”
I was afraid that she was like this, but there was no way to put it down, so I had to calm her down and say, “Auntie, don’t be like this, I’ve already helped you find a way to pay for the child’s medical expenses, so don’t worry.”
She listened and nodded her head repeatedly, tears falling straight down her face.
The child in the bed woke up at this moment, and when he saw someone in the ward, he spoke in a weak voice, “Grandma, I want to drink water!”
“Good, good!” Selina’s mother spoke one after another, then got up and walked to the side of the water fountain, seeing that it was out of water, she took the empty blue bucket off the top, then went into the bathroom, and the sound of clattering water came from inside.
“Auntie, are you here to see me?” The child’s voice came to my ears, I looked back, looked at the child, froze slightly, nodded and smiled lightly.
“Mmm!”
The little one smiled out, showing a pair of cute little tiger teeth, and looked at me and said, “Are you coming to see me next time?”
I nodded, “Will do, get well, I’ll come and see you when I can.”
She was a little happy and spoke, “Then can you bring me some candy next time you come, Grandma said you can only eat candy when you’re sick, but I’ve been sick for a long time and she hasn’t given me any candy, I’m craving candy, so craving!”
