"That's your problem. You can't even gather such a small amount for surgery, yet you're always busy with work. I'm ashamed to tell anyone!"
Helpless, I called my wife.
My wife, Emily Collins, had a good job but was busy. I sacrificed my previous career and took a leisurely job as a househusband.
She was on a business trip. When this project ended, there would be a six-figure bonus that could cover our debt.
But now, it seemed like a bottomless pit.
Emily argued with Amelia over the phone. Finally, Amelia agreed to help raise 300,000 dollars.
But where could she get it?
Louis and Amelia's savings had been depleted by Louis' illness.
Everyone said that long illnesses reveal unfilial children. But after a long illness, even Amelia didn't care much for Louis.
I fought for this surgery for him.
Amelia said, "He will die anyway even with treatment. It's a waste of money, time, and effort!"
But the doctor said Louis' recurrence was caught in time and the surgery had a high success rate.
"Mom, where did you get so much money? Roy really doesn't need those things. Let him return them!"
"Don't worry about me. Tomorrow, I'll get you 300,000 dollars. You still need to find another 200,000 dollars yourself.
