She tilted her head, looked at me and said, “I have never met him, but I know him, my dad was killed by him, he used the girl thing to threaten my dad, my dad at first just to find the right heart for me to heal, so he took my dad home a girl, the girl and I’m the same age, he said as long as you wait for the girl to die of the disease can be operated on. Because there is no way to treat her disease, so my father agreed, but I am more and more serious, can not survive, he said the truth, and then sit on the price of Facebook my father, talking about the original three million, and finally he wanted ten times the price, my father had no choice but to put the company’s money and some of those he should not be diverted out of the money, so my father will go to prison, so my father will go to prison, all because of him. Everything is caused by him, he simply will not be any good intention to help people, you have to be careful of him!”
I froze and looked at her and said, “Is it true that the boy is dead?”
She clasped her hands tightly, her eyes red, and nodded, “Well, my dad said he gave her a thick burial, but …”
The latter words were suppressed in her sobs.
I did not continue to ask, those children who were not sent back, is it really so silent death in another country?
Barbara’s words made me realize that this thing Edward was going to do might not really be as simple as I thought. Thinking about it, I called Scott after I left the hospital room.
The call was answered in no time, his voice was gruff with a touch of savagery, “Hello, what’s up?”
“The child’s test results are out, and I want to ask, if this child is going to have surgery, he must have an ID card and a family register, as well as the parents’ signatures, how will you solve these?” Barbara told me that there is no way to do irregular surgery in the hospital, so what are they going to do next?
There was a pause and he said, “You don’t have to worry about this, as long as you agree to the surgery and the price is reasonable, we will arrange it for you.”
There had been no discussion of price until now, and I pursed my lips and spoke, “I want to know, how do you charge?”
The other end was silent for a while and spoke, “The cost of the surgery site, the doctor, and the medication all need to be accounted for, as well as the cost of sending the child’s parents we will include, so let’s set a time and then sit down together to talk about it, such a big thing, I think you do not want to talk to me over the phone, right?”
“Okay, time and place you decide!” I opened my mouth and couldn’t help but chill, it seems that all they have is a specific system, only to fear that the child’s origin is not just a village.
I hung up the phone and went back to Clariana’s room. She had just woken up, probably because she hadn’t seen a child her age in a long time, so she and Blanca were talking a lot.
Luna was still reading the project book, and although most of the company’s business was left to Stannis, he was still a young man after all, and needed guidance and reminders from his elders on many things.
Seeing that Samuel was no longer there, I couldn’t help but speak up, “Mom, where’s my dad?”
She said while reading the paper, “went to find a friend, by the way, when he left he asked me to ask you, through whom you found the child, the child looks healthy in all aspects, it does not look like the orphanage?”
I frowned, “An orphanage?”
She nodded, “Yes, your father’s side of the contact said before the children in the orphanage, your father intends to donate some money to their homes, as a return, but look at this child does not look like the orphanage, but like the village, your Uncle Uncle Jimmy said you are driving seven or eight hours of car to a village to bring back, who gave you the information? ”
I slightly stared, suddenly thought of last night Dennis and I suddenly angry thing, he probably talked with Samuel, so know Samuel side contact is the orphanage, and I brought back the children, obviously is not the children in the orphanage, so he is angry, angry that I lied to him!
Thinking about it I have some headache, it is difficult to explain, if he knows that I took the initiative to find Edward, I am afraid the result will be even worse.
“It was a friend who contacted me!” I responded, with a few perfunctory words, and it was good that her attention was on the paperwork and did not pursue the matter further.
I didn’t go back to the villa that night because I had a fight with Dennis, which wasn’t the main reason.
Staying in the hospital, heavy Yin, I could not sleep well, so the night down, I was all over the place, Luna and Samuel came early in the morning, brought breakfast.
Barbara was feeling much better and Clariana had recovered a bit, so I said hello to Luna and went straight to the place I had agreed with Scott.
It is a straw dun restaurant, not big and not senior, there are a few coal bosses, I arrived when Scott had arrived, sitting in the corner, his fat body pressed on the already short straw dun, making him look even shorter and fatter.
From a distance, it looks like an unstoppable man.
Seeing me, he raised his hand in greeting, then beckoned the boss to order a few greasy entrees directly, and I sat in front of him, not rushing to speak, just waiting for him to speak.
He is not in a hurry, has been waiting for the boss on the food, eat before saying, two people a dozen meat and vegetables, he ate extremely fragrant, see I do not eat, he did not ask more, probably also used to, he ate extremely fast, I have a feeling that he simply did not swallow the food.
Waiting for a table of dishes to be finished, he wiped his greasy mouth and said, “Look at the contract first, and sign it if there is nothing wrong!”
As we speak, he handed me a pile of documents, very thick, dense are legal provisions, I can not help but frown, I do not know the law, many things in it is naturally no way to read and understand.
The good thing is that the amount is readable, looking at the string of zeros, I frowned, “How did you raise the price to over a million for one surgery?”
He skimmed his mouth, used a toothpick to pull the dish out of his teeth, and spoke, “Miss Kennedy, from what Mr. White said, you are not short of money, besides, we are a private surgery, first of all, the operating room doctors surgical instruments are all costly, you know these things, which is not expensive? Besides, I can’t serve you for nothing, right? In addition I have to take money to send that child’s parents, these are all costly, more than a million counted I have given you a discount.”
I can’t help but want to laugh, originally a matter of human life, in his mouth how to become a business, I did not rush to sign, looked at him and said, “count down the money is really not much, but I have a request, after all, this is not formal, I want to see your operating room and doctors and equipment, not that I am nosy, after all, this is about the lives of two children, one is my daughter, my purpose is to save my daughter, not to harm her!”
