"Liver Cancer? No way! Tell me it's all a lie, Doc! You might be wrong, Doc! It's definitely not true! My sister is just tired!" Eve shouted as she grabbed the Doctor by the collar.
Exhausted, Eve finally broke down and collapsed on the cold hospital floor as she cried.Just as she felt a little happy for accepting work today, she thought things would be better after getting a job.Damian helped Eve finalize everything, including Adeline's payment.Damian was still with Eve, who was waiting for her sister to wake up. He couldn't bear to leave her.Eve didn't say much, preferring to stay quiet and lost in her thoughts.Eve looked at Damian, who seemed tired; she didn't want to impose her will on the Boss to stand by her side."Sir, isn't it better for you to go home? I can wait for my sister here. I know you are tired. I thank you for your help. I don't know what would have happened to both of us if you hadn't helped us. I promise to return the money you spent to pay for my sister's treatment." Eve said to Damian."Never mind, I'm willing to do it. Well, I seem to be a little tired, maybe I'll come back for a while, to shower and rest. I'll be back, tomorrow morning, OK?" said Damian as he handed over some money to Eve."What is this, Sir? Didn't I receive my wages today?" Eve's face was confused as she received money from her new Boss."It's okay, it's just in case. Take it!" Damian said with a little force."Thank you, Sir. But, it's really not necessary." Eve politely refused her new Boss's gift. She didn't want to get further into debt with Damian."Okay. But call me if you need anything, okay? I'm leaving now," Damian said back.After Damian left, Eve pulled out a chair, sat beside Adeline's bed, and tightly held her sister's fingers."Adeline's family?" greeted the Doctor as he entered the room."We just wanted to give you the results of this test." said the Doctor.Eve opened the test results and froze; Eve read them slowly."It is with great regret that I have to tell you that your sister has Liver Cancer and it is confirmed to be stage two, at this time." The Doctor explained.Eve's tears fell again without permission, "What should I do, Doc? Can my sister recover?""Hmm...I can only suggest that your sister get intensive care in this hospital. We must do it immediately." said the Doctor thoughtfully."What are some of the possibilities, Doc? And how much will it cost Doc?" asked Eve in confusion. Squeezing the test results in her hand."We don't know for sure yet, we still need to do a thorough observation. Only the probability is no more than 30% with the possibility of surviving two years only. And the cost is about 100,000 dollars.""A hundred thousand, Doc?" said Eve in surprise."Yes, even that is only temporary and may increase. Please inform us when the funds are ready. We will do the treatment as soon as possible. The sooner, the better, perhaps not the longer we fear the patient cannot survive without treatment. Sorry, that's all we can say." the Doctor left Eve.Eve cried silently again.Suddenly, she wiped her tears. "Uncle! Well, I'll ask for his help!"***Late at night, she brought Evelyn Adam's footsteps to her parents' house, which her Uncle had taken away.She deliberately left Adeline with the nurse at the hospital when she came here to ask for her Uncle's help.He banged on the gate that had been his home since childhood.Knock!Knock!"Uncle! Aunty! Claire! Open the door!" she shouted very loudly.Eve waited for a moment when there was no answer; she was about to bang on her door again when the gate opened.She hurriedly ran to the house with a large yard. And entered the house that didn't seem locked while wandering around and shouting."Uncle! Aunty! Claire...Help me!" Eve shouted inside her house.Until two married couples came down the stairs."Ouch! What's wrong with you, huh? It's so noisy! You don't see what time it is, what time is it? Oh my! Why are you so rude to enter people's houses shouting like this, disturbing people's rest?" said his Uncle's wife.Eve ran towards the stairs and prostrated herself at their feet. Sitting on a step."Uncle! Aunty! Please do me a favour, lend me five hundred thousand dollars. Adeline is sick! She's in the hospital! And she has liver cancer! Treatment must be done as soon as possible. Help me, Uncle! Aunty! This last time..only! I promise I'll do anything if you give it to me! And I am forever in debt to your family!" Eve said as she clasped her hands on her chest pleadingly while sobbing."One hundred thousand dollars? Hey! That's a lot of money! Are you sure you want to do anything?" said Uncle this time."Yes, Uncle I promise!" said Eve."Okay, I'll give it on one condition!" said her Uncle with a sly smile.The wife looked at her husband disapprovingly, and the Uncle smiled and whispered in her ear."Upright, let's sit in the TV room while my wife gets something. Would you like a drink?!""No need, Uncle. Thank you," Eve said nervously."Okay..."Not long after, the wife arrived with a document and gave it to her husband."Sign the letter! Then I'll give you as much as you want!" Uncle said, putting a file on the table."What is this, Uncle? The transfer of Daddy's company shares? To Uncle? But Uncle, that's more than one hundred thousand I asked for! And this company was started by Daddy from scratch! How can I hand it over to Uncle?" Eve momentarily began to think there was something wrong with this."Whatever! But remember your sister! Can she survive? If you can't get the money?" Uncle said as he crossed his legs on the sofa."But..." Eve was still hesitant, but she imagined her sister, who was currently in the hospital."Sign it or nothing!" Uncle was about to move, but Eve caught his hand."Alright Uncle! I'll sign it, for Adeline's sake!" Eve shakily signed the file.Not long after, his wife handed over $1,000 into Eve's hand while laughing."Wait Aunty! Uncle! What does this mean? It's only a thousand dollars. Not a hundred thousand dollars!" Eve starred in a daze."Oh, yeah? Did you ask for a hundred thousand dollars? Well, we forgot about that! Now get lost! That's a fair price for you! Guards drag this kid!"Eve was shocked and screamed, "You lied to me! You are cruel! No! I'm not leaving! Until I receive the money! Uncle! Aunty! You promised! At least have mercy on Adeline Uncle! She's lying helpless right now!"Suddenly in the midst of the commotion Claire appeared with her eyes rubbed, it seemed that she had just woken up because she heard the commotion due to her parents' quarrel with Eve again."What's going on, fussing, at night?" Claire turned her head and was surprised to see Eve back in her house, precisely the house that was seized by her father."You, again? Why do you keep coming in like a fly, anyway? And what is this? Daddy, why did you give her $1,000?" Claire looked at Eve who was holding the money."It's reimbursement money because he gave his company to us, Claire! Never mind, let it go!" Daddy exclaimed."No way! I don't like it! It's my pocket money, Daddy! Why give it to her! I'd rather treat my friends at college tomorrow!" Claire sullenly looked at her Daddy."Never mind..what do you want?" Asked the Mummy this time while gently stroking the child's hair.Claire suddenly walked up to Eve and grabbed the money, "Give me the money! It's my money! You don't want it either, did you say? So...you'll give it to me!" Claire slyly exclaimed and forcibly pulled out the money.Eve tried to grab it and there was a tug of war between the two of them until...Kreeekk...!!!The money broke into two pieces. Claire covered her mouth and let go of the tug."UPS!!! Sorry,! It looks torn!" she laughed sarcastically. "Go and get your torn money out of here!" Claire exclaimed as she walked away happily.Eve squatted down to pick up the torn money feeling even sadder. "You're too much, Claire! You're all cruel!""Let go! I'm not done talking to my Uncle yet! Uncle! Give me back my money!" Eve struggled when the big man lifted her.Eve continued to struggle and scream, but she was outmatched by the two bodyguards holding both hands and again dragged her hard, this time to the street.Eve fell to the ground; her lips kissed the street and began to bleed. Her hip was also injured and bleeding from being thrown hard onto the street.Eve cried on the pavement in front of her house as she endured the pain."How could you! Oh my God! Adeline...."Eve began to wriggle out of her short sleep. Since she had been thinking about it last night, she would try to ask her lover for help even though her messages and phone were not answered all night, and Eve thought that Robert was busy.He intended to go to the college today. Not going to study as usual, she decided to continue her studies when she had enough money. She was going to meet Robert at the college!Saying goodbye to Adeline, Eve travelled by public transport to the campus.She had done it for the first time and might have to get used to it from now on.When she arrived at the gate of her campus, she felt something strange. Everyone who knew her began to avoid her; some stayed away, some pretended to be indifferent, but more looked at her with a look of pity in their eyes."What's going on? What's going on? What are all those eyes looking at me for? Am I smelly and dirty?" she smelled the scent of her body. No odour! And not dirty either, because she had showered and changed
Eve looked down at her body, there was nothing missing either. So she wasn't hurt? She's still alive? But just now, wasn't there a car passing by? And Then, what happened?Eve turned her head towards a fairly luxurious car, looking at it sadly. She was afraid, afraid that the car would be damaged due to her lack of caution earlier. "What if this car is damaged or scuffed, due to being hit by me, maybe? Then I'll have to pay for the car's repairs? What about this? I don't have the money to pay for it! What if the owner gets angry and complains to the police, and I'm arrested and imprisoned, what will happen to Adeline? My God, what kind of ordeal is this? Why does bad luck always accompany my steps? Help me, O God!" Eve whispered worriedly in her heart as she bent down to look at the car, to find the damage."Hey! What are you doing? You want to die, huh?" said a beautiful girl dressed in a rather sexy outfit coming out of the car while ruffling her waist.Eve didn't listen to her, she
Eve blinked her eyes in disbelief at what she had just heard, an old friend offering to help. Maira wanted to help her? She could hardly believe it. In the midst of her confusion about all the problems that were choking her that made her chest hurt, Maira's help was like an oasis in the desert. Her burden seemed to be lifted from her shoulders. And she didn't expect it to come from a friend she hadn't even seen in a long time. Eve felt very grateful to God for helping her by sending Maira to her. "Really?" Eve took her best friend's hand and started kissing it "Thank you, Mai! I promise to return it to you as soon as possible! I promise!" she continued kissing the back of her hand with emotion. Eve even stood up to hug her little friend. "Never mind! Remember! Later tonight! I'll introduce you to someone who will help you! He's a close friend of mine! You can rest easy! Some of my funds are used with him for business so, well...we have to get his approval too! But don't worry, he'll
Man entered and walked slowly, then bent down and looked at Eve while caressing her smooth face. Then moved on to her exposed thighs. "Get your smelly hands off my body! Or...I'll.." Eve began to get emotional and tremble with fear. "Haha...Or what? What are you going to do, beautiful? Scream? This room is soundproof, your screams won't be heard! So, just enjoy this night...I'm very curious, it says you're a virgin, right? And I paid good money for it! So I should enjoy it!" still holding Eve's jaw roughly. "Paid? I didn't sell myself! You must be wrong! I'm here with my friend, and she wants to see me with her best friend she's going to..." Eve started to panic and moved her face away from the man. The man was actually quite handsome, but very rude and Eve didn't like it. "Yeah, yeah. Just keep bragging. Oh, yeah that friend of yours you mentioned earlier? Maira, she's the one who offered you to me at a fantastic price because she said you were still unexplored! Is that true?" wit
Everyone there turned their heads towards the handsome unknown man.Someone who deliberately ruined their fun. Including Eve who saw him, feeling she could rely on that person for help."Sir, help me! They want to harass me! Help! My friend sold me! Please, sir!" Eve began to plead, she didn't care who the man was, she just wanted to get out of here, even if she had to plead pleadingly to the unknown man, she would do it."Shut up!" the big man said as he slightly shook Eve's body that was carried like a sack of rice on his shoulders."Hey! You! Let her talk! You guys are so noisy!" he angrily pointed his index finger at Eve. "Explain why you're on his shoulders, what are you saying? Are you stupid or what? So you didn't realise you were being sold?" the man looked at the girl irritably. And then looked at the well-dressed man who seemed to know her."Put her down! I said put her down!" he glared fiercely.The two men stared at each other and sought the approval of Andrew MacGuire who
Allan frowned with confusion looking straight at his best friend Tom."What idea? About?" asked Allan, not understanding."Have you forgotten your problem? The problem you just told me about a few hours ago? At the club?" Tom looked at his best friend while holding his upper hand and a little tighter.Allan tried to recall the events of the past few days with the grandfather who was the source of his problems. As well as the conversation he had with Tom a few hours ago in that luxurious club in the Wellington area.Flash back on a few days agoAllan Watson was 28 years old. Allan is the only grandson of the Watson family.Life for Allan was work-work and work. He has no time for a lover or a girlfriend.Love for Allan was nonsense! There is no such thing as love! There is only the natural reaction of attraction! Lust!All of course because of his bad memories with someone, which made him hurt.Allan began to like his free life as it is today. And Allan never felt lonely either!For All
" You're crazy, huh?" Allan repeated his shout with great emotion.Tom who was listening to him covered his ears instantly, "You're the crazy one! Don't shout! I'm not deaf! Be quiet, be quiet! The girl will wake up!"The annoyed Allan did not answer with a face full of anger, he pulled his best friend's shirt collar out of the room. And dragged him to the living room where there was a large television, so as to be a little far from his bedroom. So as not to wake up a girl who was currently still in a stupor."Hey! Take off my shirt! You're ruining it, you know that!" Tom roughly pushed Allan's hand away from his slightly stretched collar, "Look! My shirt is ruined!" he said back in annoyance."I'll replace it! If necessary a thousand times over!" Allan exhaled roughly."I know, you can do it! But there's no need to be so arrogant!" Tom said with a sardonic smile."I'm not arrogant! But that's the truth!" retorted Allan as he crossed his arms over his chest."Ok! Ok! But will you liste
Allan walked back into his room, a tense look on his face. Even his hair was now a little messy.Allan became even more annoyed when he saw the interaction between Tom and Eve who looked warm and heard the remnants of their laughter when he entered the room.Tom was even now seen sitting on the dressing chair next to Eve's bed with a cheerful look on his face.Allan threw his breath to the side when the two saw him unintentionally."Why? Is there a problem with your grandfather? Is it about that again?" asked Tom in a coded manner."Hem." Allan just mumbled lazily."Never mind!" exclaimed Tom as he tapped his best friend on the shoulder, "Hey, did you know, Allan? This girl's name is Eve, Evelyn Adams! And she went to the same college where we went to Victoria University of Wellington! And she chose the same business as you, what a coincidence, right?" Tom gave the code by drying one eye."And I told Eve that you were one of the best students there. In fact, you were often invited as a
