Chapter 3

Khair glanced briefly at Mega and Sean, and an idea immediately came to his mind. Then he said, “Mega, it seems your husband doesn’t agree with my help. In that case, I’ll take my leave.”

“Wait, Mr. Khair,” Mega said softly.

Khair laughed at her and took long strides as he left the patient room. He had already guessed that Sean and Mega could not possibly pay three hundred million at the moment, so he looked extremely confident, as if he wanted to defeat Sean.

After leaving, Khair revealed a sly smile and found the nurse in charge of administering Andin’s medication.

Quietly, Khair handed three million rupiah to the nurse. “Andin’s parents haven’t obtained the money yet. Later, please tell them to take care of the hospital discharge administration.”

The nurse smiled happily and nodded after seeing the amount of money given to her.

After Khair left, Mega’s gaze turned empty, her face filled with disappointment. “Sean, is your pride more important than your own child’s life?”

Sean fell silent for a moment and placed the cake on the table. He said, “I’ll go look for a loan first.”

“You’re going to look for a loan? Where are you going to look? Who would lend that much money? Right now, besides Mr. Khair, who else can take out three hundred million to help us?” Mega said irritably.

“I have my own way of borrowing money!” Sean shook his head and walked toward the corridor.

He had once started a business and also experienced failure, but over the past few years, he still had several friends.

“Sean!” Mega’s voice sounded from behind. “Don’t make me hate you!”

Sean quickened his steps. Mega watched his back as it grew farther and farther away from her. As if all strength had been drained from her body, she slumped down weakly. She felt regret, regret for her recklessness, regret for marrying Sean.

Mega’s gaze suddenly fell on the cake box placed on the table, and she was slightly startled.

Sean walked out of the hospital and lit a cigarette. He took a deep breath, then suddenly coughed, his eyes slightly reddened.

“Money! Money!! All of this is because of money!”

Although money was not everything, without money, his child’s life would be in danger. Sean found a place to sit and then contacted several numbers. But as soon as they heard he wanted to borrow money, all the people on the other end hung up.

In the end, he let out a sigh and took out his phone to call an unfamiliar number.

“It’s me,” Sean said coldly.

“Young Master,” the man on the other end said enthusiastically. “Did you contact me because you’ve thought everything through and decided to return with me?”

“Sorry, I can’t go back,” Sean said. “Uncle Roby, I’m contacting you because of something else. May I borrow three hundred million? I really need it.”

“Young Master, all of my assets belong to the Diningrat Family. Don’t say three hundred million, even my life can be yours!” Roby said with a soft chuckle. “But on one condition: you must sign the inheritance succession agreement. Only after signing can you obtain the money.”

“The matter of signing is easy. We can discuss it later. I really need the money right now,” Sean said.

He did not want to have anything to do with the Diningrat Family anymore, but with his child in this condition, he had no other choice.

“That won’t do, Young Master. The Master has instructed me that only after you sign the inheritance succession agreement can you use the family’s assets,” Roby said firmly.

Sean clenched his teeth. “Is there no other way?”

“I’m sorry, Young Master.”

Sean took a deep breath. He raised his head to look at the sky and put on a cold smile.

Had he finally chosen to obey his father’s words? Yes, indeed, he should do so for the sake of his daughter.

“Fine, I’ll do it,” Sean said.

He could feel pain on his face. “Where are you right now?”

“I’m at Martaguna Company. Where are you? It would be best if I sent someone to pick you up,” Roby said.

“No need. I’ll go find you right away,” Sean said and ended the call.

After the death of Sean’s mother, from that moment on, the relationship between Sean and Arga was bound by hatred. At first, he thought that even for a lifetime, he would not be able to let go of this hatred or accept his father’s fault.

But his child was seriously ill. He had no other choice and chose to lower his head, taking the initiative to let go of his resentment. This life was truly infuriating.

Sean extinguished his cigarette and took a taxi to Martaguna Company.

***

In the afternoon, when Sean arrived at Martaguna Company, just as he got out of the taxi, he immediately saw his mother-in-law, Natalie Margaretha, walking out of the building. He instinctively thought of avoiding her, but Natalie then walked toward him.

“You said you were going to borrow money, so what are you doing here?” Natalie looked at Sean with contempt and disgust.
