“I have something I want you to help me with, can you rush to the hospital where Tatum is right now? Help me pay the missing medical bills for her.”
After Olive finished this sentence, Elio on the other end of the phone did not squeal. When Olive saw this reaction, she naturally knew that it was Elio who was upset in her heart, after all, Elio hated Alieen so much, and Tatum was Alieen’s real mother.
Olive saw that Elio did not say anything, so she smiled a little and said soothingly, “You listen first, first grab the time to help me go to the hospital to pay the fee, later I will come to you when I am finished.”
“Oh, okay then, I’ll go to the hospital now then.” Elio on the other end of the phone reluctantly responded.
“I still have a few scenes to shoot, I’m in a hurry, I won’t talk to you anymore, see you later.”
Olive hung up the phone without waiting for Elio’s reply, she took the time to call, so she couldn’t delay too long, or it wouldn’t be good to have the rest of the crew waiting for her alone.
Although Olive can afford Tatum’s medical expenses, it is not a small amount of money, plus the follow-up treatment costs after the payment, for Olive is not easy, so she actually hesitated before.
But when she thought of Tatum’s current condition, to put it bluntly, if she didn’t help her, she would really only die.
And in the end, Alieen’s current wretched appearance is really related to herself, if she indirectly killed Tatum because of her own reasons, Olive’s own conscience will be unsettled, so Olive is still ready to finish filming the remaining scenes and rush to the hospital.
When Olive finished filming and arrived at the hospital, Elio was sitting on a chair in front of Tatum’s room, her head tilted to the side, as if she was asleep.
Olive gently walked next to Elio and was just about to put her bag down when Elio woke up in a daze, he looked at Olive and was a little dazed from his sleep.
“Olive, you’re finally here, what time is it?”
Looking at the dazed Elio, Olive laughed lightly and asked, “Have you paid all the fees?”
Hearing Olive ask this question, Elio’s face, which was still smiling, immediately collapsed.
“I paid all the missing fees and the fees to be used later, but Olive, I just don’t understand, why do you want to help her ah, Alieen and Tatum did that to you at first, you have forgotten? It’s so easy to see them get what’s coming to them, and you’re so good, you don’t even look at it, but you’re still helping.”
“Besides, it’s not a small amount of money that you’re just throwing away to someone else, and it’s the mother of that nasty person!”
The more Elio said, the angrier he became, the more he hated Olive, and in the end he couldn’t help but start rolling his eyes, and Olive looked at Elio’s painful appearance and felt some amusement.
“I know what you said, throwing out so much money all of a sudden I also hurt ah, but think about it, Tatum although I was really not good to me, but in the end, they also raised me for so many years, if I obviously have the ability to help her at this time but not to save her, that is not very conscienceless? Then what is the difference between Alieen and me?”
Olive patiently explained to Elio, she knew that Elio was actually fighting for herself, but Alieen is Alieen, Tatum is Tatum, she couldn’t do that kind of thing to see death without saving herself.
“Forget it, I don’t care about you, anyway, the fee is paid what else can be done, I’ll go back first, you go in to see her yourself or go back with me?”
Elio heard Olive’s explanation also calmed down, although she still felt that such a large sum of money, just spend on Tatum such a person, but Olive is indeed right.
She was not going to go in to see this person. Olive could pay Tatum’s bill regardless of her past, but she could not. She felt bad when she thought that Tatum was Alieen’s mother, and she was really tired from the afternoon at the hospital today, so she just wanted to go home and get some rest.
“I’ll go in first to see her, you go back to rest first, it’s been a hard day for you.”
After Elio left, Olive pushed open the door of Tatum’s hospital room.
Tatum was sitting on the hospital bed with blank eyes staring at the TV, which was reporting the news about Alieen’s ungratefulness and unfiliality.
In just a few days, Tatum’s complexion was as lifeless as if she had suffered a major blow. Her hands were clutching the sheets, her eyes were red and swollen as if she had been crying for days, and her hair, which was still somewhat inky, had turned white, and her whole body seemed to have suddenly aged by more than 20 years, with an air of loneliness and vicissitude.
Looking at Tatum like this, Olive’s heart suddenly surged with an inexplicable sour emotion, in theory, she should feel happy to see Tatum become like this, but for some reason, at this moment Olive but really some heartache her.
She stood at the door for a while, knocked gently on the door, and slowly walked to Tatum’s side before Tatum noticed Olive’s arrival.
“Olive, do you know where our Alieen has gone? I can’t find her anywhere, and no one answers her phone, do you know where she is?”
When Tatum saw Olive come in, there was a glow of hope in her eyes. She grabbed Olive’s hand tightly, as if she had grabbed a lifeline, and her tears fell in bunches as she spoke.
Olive did not know how to answer Tatum’s words, in fact, the news has been very clear, Tatum should have read it many times in the past few days, but she could not accept the fact that her daughter, whom she had always loved, obviously had money but was not willing to give herself a cure.
“You know where Alieen is, don’t you? Tell me, Olive, say something!”
When Tatum saw that Olive didn’t say anything, she became even more anxious. She still held onto Olive’s hand, but the light in her eyes slowly faded and her face turned ashen.
Seeing her like this, Olive hesitated for a moment and said to her, “Alieen hasn’t contacted me lately, and I’m not sure about these things, and now no one can contact her.”
As soon as Olive’s words left her mouth, Tatum loosened her grip on Olive’s hand as if she had lost her soul. She collapsed on the hospital bed, tears sliding down the corners of her eyes onto the quilt, looking like dead grass full of despair.
Olive understands how Tatum feels right now. She grew up with her daughter in her heart, treating her as a treasure, but in the end she didn’t even care if she lived or died.
At this moment, the hospital room is exceptionally quiet, looking at such Tatum, Olive also do not know what to say, can only quietly stand aside and look at the silent tears of Tatum.
