Chapter 1606 A Terrible Fall
Beneath the beauty face mask, Olivia’s expression stiffened. She turned around and looked at Selena reproachfully. “Didn’t I already tell you about this? Your father and I met a benefactor who provided us with a venture capital fund. Thanks to that, your father made a fortune in trading stocks.”
“And who is that benefactor?” Selena couldn’t help wondering even more curiously. “That benefactor will reveal himself to you if the opportunity arises,” Olivia replied mysteriously.
Feeling extremely curious about this person, Selena thought to herself, A benefactor who can make our entire family rich overnight must be extremely wealthy. I need to get to know him!
“This benefactor not only helped our family but also helped me. Without him, I would never have been able to enter such a prestigious university. Although it was tough for me to graduate with a diploma, nobody will dare to look down on me when I introduce myself in the future.”
“Of course.” Likewise, Olivia was very proud. “Mom, I met a super handsome man on the field today. It’s a pity I failed to get his phone number.” “How handsome?”
“How should I put it? He is the kind of person who was born from true wealth. His entire body radiated with a sense of nobility and an extraordinary aura. I practically swooned on the spot when I saw him.” Selena described the man to her mother in detail; there was no restraint in her words whatsoever.
“If you wish to marry into a good family in the future, then you shouldn’t randomly fall in love or enter a relationship with a man. Don’t let those useless men take advantage of you,” Olivia advised her daughter.
“Mom, I know what I’m doing in this regard. An ordinary person wouldn’t catch my fancy anyway.” Selena assured her mother.
At one of the top villas along the hillside of Averna, Jared stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and stared out at the lights in the distance. He was reminiscing about all the fun things he experienced with his parents when he was younger. At the same time, he also recalled the disaster that struck him when he was ten years old.
His life nearly came to an abrupt end on that fateful day, but God had given him the chance for a second life.
His family had been very grateful to the parents who had donated the heart to him and saved his life as a result. Even now, his family continued to help the donor’s family to show their gratitude.
The heart he received back then had long since merged seamlessly with his body to provide him with great health and vitality.
He took off his shirt. Holding his shirt in his hand, he walked toward the bathroom. There was a visible scar on his chest that remained from the surgery he underwent back then, but the scar did not take away from the beauty of his strong figure. On the contrary, the scar added a touch of masculinity and sensuality to his character.
In the early hours of the morning, Ellen was sleeping deeply when she heard her grandmother calling her name. “Ellie… Ellie…”
She immediately bolted awake and jumped out of bed. Pushing open the door to her grandmother’s room, she saw her grandmother lying on the dimly lit ground. Her grandmother had fallen down.
“Grandma!” She screamed in horror. Hastily turning on the light, she saw her grandmother lying there motionlessly with an ashen complexion. Then, she quickly rushed back to her room and grabbed her phone to dial the emergency number.
After her grandmother was sent to the emergency room at the hospital, the nurse urged her to pay the medical fees first. She had taken out all the money she had on her, but the nurse informed her to prepare another 20,000 by tomorrow morning to cover any unexpected medical expenses that might incur.
Ellen was terrified and quickly contacted her great aunt, Lilac Aguirre, for help. Unfortunately, Lilac had just recently paid for her son’s wedding and had no money to spare. She told Ellen to ask her nephew, Connor, for help instead.
At this point, Ellen had no other options left. She could only hope that her uncle would be willing to loan her 20,000 to pay for her grandmother’s medical expenses.
Jessica Aguirre was rescued from the brink of death. Be that as it may, the doctor warned Ellen to prepare herself for the worst. Jessica’s fall had resulted in serious cardiac issues, so there was a high possibility that she would lose her life at any time. Combined with her advanced age, the possibility of saving her was low.
When Ellen heard the news, she covered her mouth with her hands in horror as tears began to flow down her cheeks. She felt an absolute sense of despair and helplessness.
“Doctor, I have the money. Please save my grandmother no matter what,” she begged the doctor. The doctor glanced at her frayed clothes and the worn-out phone clutched in her hands, but he nodded comfortingly. “Of course. I will do my best.”
Inside the hospital ward, she accompanied her grandmother throughout the night. When 7.00AM finally rolled around, she hurriedly left the room and dialed Connor’s number.
